The Light of Worlds, Suns and Stars (May 4, 1873)

01] Earlier I have often told you about the word "light", what light is and how it develops, how it spreads life, excites life and is life itself, as some say (See in "The Fly", chapters 9 and 10), and yet you know little about light, do not yet understand what light is, and for this very reason a new word should explain to you what has often only shone through dimly from the earlier ones and allowed only a few to suspect that light is an emanation (outflow) of My own self or I Myself!

02] Few of you are concerned with it or have the desire to deal with the laws of physics as far as it (the light) occurs on your earth. Few feel the urge, depending on what the ray of light actually is, which in every second when it hits your eye and penetrates it, could tell you wonders about miracles, how My creation should be understood and how much already only one ray of light contains love and joy, which should show you your Creator in His most beautiful glory - as a loving Father!

03] You are all blind, blind to the smallest, blind and insensitive to the greatest work of love, which always bears witness to Me, to My greatness and to My omnipotence!

04] And that's why in the everyday encounters of human and material life out of habit My miracles are not noticed, are not judged, then you are to be stimulated again today by this word to awaken from your lethargic sleep to perceive the spiritual of creation in your immediate surroundings, as the caressing ray of light from your sun and the same stars, millions of miles away, connects you, even through it, with My whole material and spiritual world!

05] You should learn to understand and comprehend how the spiritual kingdom, My own place of residence, should once also receive you, draw you closer; that you may know what a single ray of light can tell you, let alone what a world of light will tell you!

06] look, My children, I only want to ask you one question to prove to you how little you know! The question is: "What is light?"

07] Well, the answer according to your human scientific discoveries, according to My words given to you will be limited to the following: Light is an "emanation" (emanation = radiation: from Latin emanation - exhalation), produced by rapid, even trillions of vibrations of the smallest atoms in an instant, which then, first by heat, then in the light, as a result visibly reveals itself to man!

08] Scientifically it is said: light is passed through a prism and can be broken or split into color rays; each of these color rays is shaped like a three or four-edged sword, where one edge always behaves with the opposite electrically positive or electrically negative; there are also dark rays in the light beam that your researchers have qualified as "heat rays".

09] This is all well and good, but I must raise yet another question, for this answer is not enough for me; I ask your natural scientists and astronomers: "Where does the Light come from?

10] To this they reply to Me: "From the sun, which is a fiery sphere and which in the process of combustion develops the brilliance of its outer atmosphere, namely light and warmth, and sends the same to us on earth and to the planets and comets surrounding it and thus life, activity, development, existence and decay of everything.

11] Well, this answer also has its truth, but it is not enough for Me, I continue to ask: where did the sun take this light from? Is it borrowed or its own light?

12] Look, here it already begins to give opinions of different kinds, and here already the human mind shows its weaknesses; for they are merely hypotheses which can be made, but certainty is lacking, because the closer examination of sunlight lies outside your realm and all the more so the light of another sun, which perhaps not millions but trillions of miles away gives it light to illuminate your sun and thus spread its splendor on thousands of other worlds subject to it.

13] And even if you could actually prove that your sun receives its light from one star or another, the question still remains: and from which other distant sun did it again receive its light? and so out into infinity.

14] Since therefore you men cannot come out of this tangle of questions, I must put Myself in the middle and, instead of seeking the reason and the solution of your question in spaces billions of miles away, beginning with you from the near, explain the distance for the time being.

15] Now look, let us start again from the beginning, namely with the question: "What is light?" and "how is it known? and why must it be there?

16] You know - light comes from the vibration of atoms, the colors also come from the trillions of vibrations of matter, and depending on the number of these vibrations the colors become visible to your eyes - well, what stimulates matter to vibrate? what gives it life, that it manifests itself as life through such violent vibrations and trembling?

17] Behold, here now the basic principle of all creation appears and tells you: The moving element, which penetrates everything, makes the whole etheric space tremble in such tremendous vibrations, is:

18] My Will ("Earth and Moon", Part 2, "The Moon", Chapter 6, and in this volume the two chapters "Magnetism" and "Electricity". "The "Lorber Encyclopedia of Natural History", p. 29 and 90), is My Self, is not materially conditioned but spiritual, unconditioned, is not transient - is infinite life!

19] It is this great spiritual life of Myself which: according to love, according to wisdom, manifests itself as color as warmth.

20] Without this My almighty will no atom would tremble in the great etheric space, no heat would develop, no light would be emitted!

21] And why does this happen? some may ask. This question should also be answered: because light - life, and darkness – causes death.

22] What is darkness? or is there a world where darkness prevails: if there is life, is it conceivable where darkness, synonymous with "rest", would have to remain in a state that was eternally the same?

23] You have never understood what "darkness" actually is; for if you no longer see, that is not yet darkness, but only relative, for your visual organs. For example, there are many animals who still see quite well where it seems to you the deepest night; so where these animals see, there must also be light, only not to the extent that you are accustomed to qualifying light and darkness.

24] It is the same with warmth. Which one of you has already determined or measured where heat ends, where the heat-inducing vibration of the individual atoms has stopped.

25] In your coldest regions there is still warmth, although you call it "cold" with so and so many degrees.

26] So this absolute darkness does not exist anywhere, cannot exist in a creation in which I am the Lord and Creator of it.

27] Light is synonymous with "knowledge"; for as only in light is it possible to recognize objects, to see, so too is knowledge in accordance with consciousness: I recognize Myself and can judge the world around me.

28] This spiritual cognition, which gives creatures, be they spirits or physical beings, their own moral value, drives them to perfect themselves - this cognition can only be possible in the light, in the spiritual light of Myself, since in darkness neither spiritual recognition nor worldly would be possible!

29] As the word came to you from the story of Mosaic Creation where I said: "Let there be light", so in this saying you may recognize the whole great meaning which lies therein - for without light, without daylight no material life, without spiritual light no higher life!

30] If you could thus look at My whole creation, you would have to draw the necessary conclusion from it that only where light, where the millions of miracles which certify My omnipotence can be perceived - only there, only in the light of a creator, a loving father is conceivable!

31] Thus the first word "Let there be light" was the first impulse of all becoming, the first beginning of a material creation and the first thought to a spiritual eternal kingdom of light!

32] "Light", as the spiritual equivalent of the recognition of all beings, was necessary, and precisely this word, which caused all atoms of the ether to vibrate, which caused life and warmth - just this word produced also in the spirit realm the innumerable descendants of me, who are capable of light (and love), that is to say consciously recognize themselves, My world and My love.

33] This light, emanating from Me, through all spaces urgently, all animating, created the material world, clothed spirits in matter in order to free the former again from the latter, but under different conditions!

34] Light, synonymous with My eternal life, was in Me and always filled Me; only when I pronounced the word: "Let there be light" did it begin to radiate through all the unlimited regions of ether and stimulate matter to live, to attract, to repel, to unite, to separate, to arise, to pass away. Without My Word", "Let there be" and "Let there be light", no sun would have shone in the firmament, no giant world would have swung around an even larger one.

35] Only My dictum "Let there be" and My word of love "Let there be light" was what populated the infinite ether, which filled the visible world with miracles and which gave the impulse that beings clothed in matter, remembering their origin, only understood - why they were clothed and why they must again strive for liberation of the clothing.

36] Thus the world first became visible and for the spiritually gifted not a material conglomerate of substances, but a great school of examination, where spirits, eternal light spirits must strive to go through different stages to reach where they started from, that is to me, the creator, who created everything with equal love, wants to preserve it and also lead it to spiritual perfection!

37] Thus, world light is synonymous with world life; for the worlds, living in the light, spread light and life in their environment, enliven matter, and awaken the spirits dormant therein, pulling them upwards - and so the light which one world sends to another is nothing more than the joyful trembling of matter, which, aroused by the warmth, informs the enclosed spirits of the loving hand, which has enclosed them in the former, but also wants to free them from it!

38] It is this vibration, this spreading of light, which radiates from the spirit world into the material world, in which it manifests itself in the most distant suns - and expresses all divine qualities accordingly in vibrations as a bundle of colors.

39] It is not for nothing that the legend goes with you that certain colors correspond to certain spiritual qualities. It is a feeling that runs through the soul when it imagines in the rose-colored light the ray of love, in the green the ray of hope, in the blue the ray of faith.

40] All prismatic colors have spiritual meaning and correspond - according to the vibrations they produce - to the actual effects of My divine qualities!

41] For it is in all that is visible - just as it is in the colors, and more than in other things, in terms of My love, My grace, My wisdom, My humility - and if "white" is the color of innocence, this is to say nothing other than that in the unbroken ray of Light, as a white ray, all the divine qualities are united, which, as they emanate from My Spiritual World up to you as stars or sunlight, are united as a white ray, are to admonish you that you too, clothed in innocence, carry all other divine qualities in you, which however are only partially applied when they come into contact with other beings, just as the white ray of light millions of miles from the sun refracts into its rays of color only when it strikes material objects and through such grace, gives shine and shimmer to the objects!

42] This is the spiritual chain that connects the smallest worm with the last universe that circles at the borders of My spirit world.

43] And if a ray of light from distant stars falls upon your eyes, consider that if your eye was not of a solar-nature, you would not notice the sun!

44] In your eye there already rests in its various humidity’s a world of light, which homogeneously (akin) to the light sent to you by the whole universe also evokes in you the life or the same process which the light causes in the whole creation.

45] Your visual organ is one of those mediators who lift the soul with and through the visible to the spiritual and invisible.

46] Hence the saying among you: "The eye is the mirror of the soul". Yes, just as the infinite material world is reflected in your eye from outside, to the same degree your spiritual world shines through it.

47] What you unconsciously receive from afar through stars and sunlight, radiates again spiritualized out of the small visual apparatus and thus connects infinite worlds as matter with infinite spirits clothed in matter.

48] Light, material, awakens light, spiritual. The Light shows you My creation in its wonderful charms to awaken spiritual light in you.

49]"Let there be light" it once resounded into all the wide spaces and "let there be light" I will also call into your hearts.

50] Yes, there will be light - in yourself! so that you may recognize Me, My creation and My love, so that you may understand that light, synonymous with love and wisdom, brings the whole universe to life, stimulates all atoms in immense vibrations, and this trembling is not a painful but a delightful one.

51] Let there be light in your mind! warmth develop in your hearts! and so too - as in My creation through light My thoughts, so in your switching and ruling your actions will become visible, which like My creations should carry the stamp of love, the stamp of wisdom!

52] Feel exalted, My children, when you see the world around you in a rosy morning glow or when in the night sky millions of stars and distant worlds send you the "greeting of consecration"!

53] Seek to initiate yourselves into My creation secrets! Learn to understand the great book of My Universe, My World of Light, that it may also become light in you and that you may recognize the same love and the same wisdom in the ray of light of a distant world, as well as in the ray of light that shines on a dewdrop, which once called out to the slumbering elements: "Let there be" and to increase the pleasure of the consciousness of the created beings, which added light to it. Light, yes light! Infinitely great, spiritual, shines out from all towards you. Light is what the barely born infant strives for, and it is light, spiritual, eternal, despite all barriers of death which still shimmers through the coffin lid, where it will be clearly proven that a God, a Father, who endowed the world, the whole universe with such wonders, who has woven everything in light forms and light garments, will spread light again and again even at the end of the material decomposition of a spirit garment - only insofar different that during the course of life much material, little spiritual, then after falling away from the material shell no material, but the more spiritual light shines on you, the more the spiritual light shall lead you to the original source from which all light rays emanated eons of time ago and to which all light rays, both spiritual and material, must return again.

54] "Light!" My children, "Light!" your call will resound one day, as with lost sailors on the high seas after long yearning: "Land! Land!" sounds. Just as everything then joyfully embraces itself there, since one discovers the destination of travel, so the call for light will resound in you one day after the end of this life, when you reach other conditions, other spaces, where your material sunlight here on earth will only shine like dark street lamps in comparison to the love light which shines in those places where spiritualized creatures enjoy their victory over matter!

55] In order to accustom you to this light, which already shines, albeit sparsely, but in some people already in earthly life, in order to illuminate the way to it for you, in order to teach you the spiritual light, the great factor of My creation, I spare no effort to also call into your souls: "Let there be light!".

56] look at nature, look at the worlds, the stars, even your sun - all testify to the spiritual, eternal light, the light that spreads warmth and love from Me wherever it occurs.

57] Let it enter your heart! Recognize from the objects which are enlightened with material light, the spiritual which calls out to you from these visible witnesses of My power and My love:

58] "Illuminated by the light of the sun, we enjoy our existence, everything rejoices, trembles, vibrates, be it in silent splendor of color, be it in bright song of praise. Let yourselves also be awakened, O beloved ones of a God and a loving Father! Recognize from us only the spiritual living through visible light, God's light within yourselves, recognize the chain or the gentle bond which connects everything and hastens from the far away spirit world in the form of thought, then from the last universe as material light brings the spirit greeting materialized as a ray of light to your eye, which is to announce to you that there is only one God, one Creator - but also only one loving Father, who realizes the spiritual through the material and also does not deny the last little animal, which crawls its way in the dust, and you too, wants to make your images of his own power into carriers of light, disseminators of spiritual light! But to become this you have to understand yourselves first of all what light is, what material light is, what spiritual light is; only then can you also communicate to others what lives in you!

59] Thus all nature speaks, so I speak to you, that you may understand that "light" is synonymous with "knowledge", according to consciousness: I am not from this world, I am from another world, I am not an earth citizen, but a citizen of heaven, only placed here to practice My faculties (abilities), which up there in the eternal light are only "commonplace"!

60] Therefore let the light penetrate through your physical eye, to awaken your spiritual inner self so that you understand My love, which wastes so many words to kindle a little spiritual flame in your hearts - while with a word of power it has lit up suns of immense magnitudes, which have material of the miraculous in vast dimensions, but yet cannot be compared to the only self-confident spark of God, which can exclaim standing in the middle of creation, while from Myriads of worlds the rays of light fall upon his eye:

61]"I am chosen to become a child of your Creator, for Me it happened that He once gave His life, there He denied His spiritual light to kindle in My heart the spark which, an offshoot of Him, shall be purified, transfigured and returned to Him!".

62] So let there be light in your hearts! Every dark place, every doubt, every shadow side shall disappear; for where I shall once dwell, there it must become light - light is truth, light is love! Light is warmth or enthusiasm for the divine! You are to acquire these qualities, it must become light in you! And also this word should again contribute to this, to show you how even in scientific discoveries and research only spiritual light is hidden, but which is only given to those who, in the midst of material or chemical processes, recognizes only the former as necessary in order to grasp the spiritual!

63] When the dying person lies on his deathbed and exclaims more often: "Light. Light" because his senses gradually darken and become weaker, he is prompted by the urge, because "light" also means "life".

64] Now, when you are also in the process of divorce from the material to the spiritual; now the call often arises in you too: "Light! Light! Spiritual light!" Here I give it to you, receive it into your hearts!

65] Let the sun of spiritual truth shine there so that also there it turns dark into light, so that the love, the light of grace of My words warms and invigorates you and that you may recognize in every one of My words how important it is to Me to educate you to be light bearers, to be children of the light, since unfortunately so many children of darkness are roaming on this earth right now

66] Light, worlds, suns and starlight, it is all the same - it is the great stream of spiritual love light that animates great worlds there in great masses and drives small spirits to perfection.

67] It is the same light which, radiating from afar, awakens similar things in the visual organ of the living being and evokes them through material spirituality! Thus matter is spiritualized, and thus matter returns to Me one day, from which it originated.

68] Spreading light in the immeasurable spaces, this material splendor fills by the refraction of rays in colors, which causes the spiritual light in words.

69] My light makes matter vibrate and My Word makes spirits tremble!

70] Thus is the vibration of the light and heat generators, disseminators and perfectors, and My Word the stimulus to good thoughts, decisions and blessed actions.

71] Therefore, in your pilgrim life, be diligent in radiating as much spiritual light as circumstances permit, so that as little people on your small globe you may carry out what I am doing in the great universe!

72] There I am the great disseminator of light, and that is what you are to become here in miniature! But in order to radiate and spread light, one must possess more of it than one's needs requires!

73] Therefore, strive to draw the full light of the Spirit from My words and that, although you communicate it to others, you may still have enough left for self-advancement!

74] This is the purpose of My words, the purpose of My direct message to individuals, in order to spread light where possible, before all the moral darkness sets in, which unfortunately already holds more than three-quarters of living humanity in its arms and wants to lead them to eternal spiritual death!

75] The source of My direct communication still flows to you, nor do you have words of comfort, love, Enlightenment and the Light of Mercy, alone, but it could also happen that this source denies you its service, and then it will be far more difficult to obtain light, since you did not want to see with such an amount of light.

76] Not curiosity, but the desire for divine things shall inspire you; for the more you know, the more light is within you; and the darker it becomes from outside, the more each one needs his own spiritual light!

77] So - watch and pray! So that you do not fall prey to the sleep of darkness! The daylight makes many things less terrible for you, which at night grows in your imagination into huge shapes; and spiritual light makes you feel less terrible about the events to come: because the light in you is the light of mercy from Me, which - the more the world light darkens, the more beautiful it shines!

78] I would not have to be an almighty God if My Light could not rule over all darkness!

79] Trust only in My guidance, My spiritual light, and you will soon see that My spiritual light of love and grace will guide you to become what I have created and educated you to be, that is: to mature inhabitants of a spirit world where shadow and darkness are missing and only the eternal light of love is to shine for you and lead you to your loving Father! Amen.
