About Orion, Sirius and the Pleiades (2) (December 21, 1875)

01] in the last word I led you out into those distant places from where after millennia only a ray of light comes to you, showed you in a constellation a small piece of My infinite creation, showed you the great world suns which, gathered together in nebulae form there a kingdom of brilliance and colorful splendor, of which no human can imagine, nor will ever bring about a firm image of it.

02] I told you how many wonders I have placed in space only to prepare blessings for the spirits who love Me and know Me, which they are to receive and enjoy after victory as a suitable reward for their struggle and sorrowful life.

03] I demonstrated to you by enumerating all the wonders surrounding you, by the organizing of your and every sentient beings body given to you by Me, how far away you all are, despite all the words and factual (actual) evidence, to recognize your own spiritual point of view.

04] I told you how most of your brothers and sisters walk dully and unthinkingly under My starry firmament, without knowing in the least what is spreading above their heads and how instructive it would be to read there, if they were able to decipher these great scriptures of My eternal love!

05] At the last word I let you sense all the greatness of My creation and feel your own powerlessness beside it; I spoke admonitions and comforting words to you and to all, and yet it is not enough, what I said about this spiritual vision, which you have put into My creation.

06] There is still much, indeed very much remains to be said before it becomes understandable to others what this great etheric space is, which seems to arch over their heads, and what a position man actually occupies in the midst of this infinite unlimited space.

07] The numbers are not sufficient to measure My worlds and their distances, the words cannot describe all the beauties of these creations, and no human spirit, neither here nor there, will ever get a perfect overview of My whole material and spiritual kingdom.

08] One (world) expands infinitely - but the second is even more infinite; for if the material appears partly limited by space, the the expansion of the spirit realm is an unlimited one, because exactly those people dying from all worlds existing up to now fill a spirit kingdom, where next to them a myriad of other spirits rejoice in their existence, who have never been clothed in a material shell before.

09] There, however, other laws prevail and everything enlivens a different order that does not recognize time and space as a measure, but where, in addition to eternal existence itself, everything surrounding it carries the Temple of Infinity to an even greater degree.

10] You have taken a look into and through a constellation into My creation, you have seen how millions of suns send you the rays of their light from afar, where the ray of light now falling into your eye emerged from those spaces thousands of years ago and now, where the same ray of light only becomes apparent to you, there have long ago again proceeded thousands of changes on these great suns and into their light - so that with everything you see from those distances, only a time long past shines towards you and only past, not present nor future, can you read from them.

11] So is this great spiritual chain, which unites everything and branches out into the smallest to establish the eternal rule of all My laws, as I established them from the beginning, for the self-preservation of the created.

12] Since the ray of light is not only to shine, but also to carry an eternal life force, you understand well that it must also have a life-driving influence where it is noticeable; for no ray of light, coming from even the most distant suns and worlds and falling on an object only after thousands of years, has lost its primitive power, which it can only express, however, as soon as an object opposes its path.

13] Thus new worlds came into being whose virginal light has not yet come to you: and so you see suns shining, whose existence has long since ceased as suns in space.

14] The so-called sidereal (sidereal = generally related to the stars, in particular to the influence and the effects of starlight) influence of the outside world on your physical and spiritual life you all cannot comprehend, nor make it clear to you that it is is too gentle and non-destructive.

15] But they are there, these influences, and they work continually, this I can assure you, although you do not feel them and your scholars deny them. There must be such an interaction, otherwise nothing uniform could be represented!

16] How could a mutual connection be possible at such distances and such sizes, if the perpetual exchange of spiritual and material components would not be promoted and brought about by means of light in addition to the force of attraction!

17] Light is the carrier and the awakener of all life, without light there would be no movement, no development of heat would be possible, where heat as awakener and decomposer of all that has been created brings about what you all call "life".

18] The decomposition and combustion process carries all elements from stage to stage, perfecting them by destroying, and so eternal regeneration is the result of the once created basic principle, whereby the infinite continuance of all materially formed could be conditioned and established!

19] What you can see here every day in the material world, the same goes on in the spirit world as well.

20] The spiritual connection, the rapid flight of thought also produces the same result as the light in material creation.

21] The living force that dwells in the spiritual light is thought - and the material of the spiritual light is the communicated word.

22] The power is incorporeal in that it only manifests itself in its effects, just as the thought only becomes palpable to the other through the spoken word or the action performed.

23] The realm of thoughts is infinite, knows no limits, and the thought itself has even faster flight than light.

24] The thought enlivens like the power of life that is sheltered in the light. But just as light only begins to act and becomes visible when it reflects back on a solid object, so too the thought is only noticeable when it condenses into form, makes itself audible to others in words.

25] And how in the light of worlds that have long since disappeared the New-born Power is still, so is the Word, which, though spoken thousands of years ago, will not fail to have an effect.

26] See, what I spoke more than a thousand years ago, and where now again My descent into your little world will be celebrated in a few days as a feast of remembrance of those times with you - it is still in all its power! And as the light, so also the word, where it is conspicuous and can take root, causes the same thing that the light produces, that is, warmth or spiritual love and with the warmth of love activity or elimination of the unsuitable and perfection of the better.

27] My Word from those times never lost its power, but, to put it better, it has never since then unfolded all its power, but soon the time will come when it will stand in all its glory as that which I once gave it: as the only binding agent between the spiritual and material kingdom.

28] Soon will come the time when from one end of creation to the other the light-thought of love will be understood and exercised!

29] The wind of spiritual knowledge is already blowing on your earth. And just as the morning wind precedes every sunrise, where the air heated by the sun comes into contact with the cold air of the night and strives to balance itself with it, so also My divine thought, which I brought as seed to this small earth at that time, will spread warmth and light and begin to drive away the cold air of egoism and animal passions.

30] Always and everywhere the same principle - light and warmth in the material, thought and expression of it through word and deed in the spiritual. These are the connecting elements that chain everything together, making each one dependent on the other!

31] Thus My Kingdom consists in eternal life, further education and self-perfection.

32] In all spaces lives and weaves the power of love, which produces the same in the material as in the spiritual, and if your gaze cannot measure the distances in space, your imagination cannot follow the effects of a spoken thought either. One works like the other forever. Where light encounters an object, it must undergo its influence; where a thought touches a heart as a word, there the success does not fail, which can never be the same with the diversity of the created beings, because of their individuality either.

33] Thus also in the spiritual the thought effect is an ongoing one because although it has done its part with the higher spirits, it also acts with all others standing on lower levels as soon as one or the other thinking being comes into its sphere.

34] A look into the constellation of Orion has spiritually opened to you the wide spaces of My creation, and you sank together before the greatness of distances, before the greatness of the world bodies; and now a look into the infinity of the world of thoughts fills you with devotion and love for me, since in fatherly favor I have already given you and the others some spiritual gifts from which all should recognize what their position in this world should and could be if they were spiritually better educated!

35] Christmas, the New Year's Eve, both remind you, the first of My great act of love, the second of the flight of time, where you are now far away in completely different spaces than in the previous year, when your sun and its companions, with great speed leads you towards other cosmic spaces than those that you were near last year.

36] Do not ask about changing climatic conditions, not about changing the spiritual attitudes of mankind as well as of the individual man; you do not know where you are now and where the laws of My creation lead you!

37] In infinite space the suns move around the suns, and the planets must always feel their changes, including their interactions, under their influence.

38] Everything has its final purpose, including the circling of worlds around worlds. In the whole ether there is not one place, no matter how small it may be, completely equal to another, because it is precisely there that existing conditions again require different living conditions.

39] It is the same with you on the small earth, on the seashore is a different life than in the mountains, in marshlands different from in the steppe or in the desert - everywhere even the organization of living beings suffers under these climatically different conditions, and these again partly determine the spiritual development.

40] Just as this example in the small, so in the starry sky in the large: there too, other influences determine other effects and other purposes.

41] It is not for nothing that millions of miles are the necessary distances for the existence of one or the other body of the world; it is not for nothing that even greater distances are needed for even greater suns. They must have space for their material formation and for the perfection of all the smaller worlds that depend on them.

42] Nothing is placed in vain as it is now, was once and will always be.

43] An infinitely lasting work must be built on a broader basis if, in addition to entering life, it must also preserve itself, perfect itself and bring itself to a certain final result.

44] I gave the first impulse of existence, the rest must develop from itself.

45] In your soul life it is the same, the first ray of light of love for God and men must first be laid, and then it is incumbent on every person to form himself to what I actually created him; The thought ray "the Word" must awaken him, the rest of the process of decomposition and perfection must therefore be carried out by him.

46] How the worlds are led through wide spaces in order to absorb everywhere from the ether what they need for their preservation and formation, as does the human spirit in the great realm of thought, where also he has the task of understanding and fulfilling his mission from the words left behind, be they divine or human.

47] Far behind the material creation "the great Spirit" dwells in the midst of His spirit realm, and far above the world of thoughts actually lives only the source of the spiritual understanding of the given words!

48] It is not the words, not the thoughts, which must lead men to their goals, but their spiritually correct conception, their practical realization.

49] Just as light with all its creative power only works when it falls on a solid object; as well as the whole world of thoughts only becomes fruitful when it can also bear fruit falling on receptive ground.

50] See My Teaching, how simply I gave it to even uneducated people, like My apostles only fishermen etc. and not scholars! And nowadays, with all the scholarship of the whole world, there is still no one who can give it back to men as I have spoken it and as I want to see it understood; but I Myself again have to start anew as it were and for the time being explain everything again individually to only a few, if I want that My words, words of the highest spirit, are also to be understood spiritually.

51] How often have I tried this remedy? From centuries to centuries I spoke through different people, always in accordance with the spirit of time, in vain! My words were not heard or overheard or misinterpreted; and now you too are again one of those chosen ones through whom I want to supplement My curriculum, and nevertheless, look at your followers how few understand what you have to write and what I let them say in My infinite grace.

52] From all kingdoms of nature, from all corners of the earth and of creation I seek out objects which receive under My hand an importance as no man has ever imagined.

53] I dissect what is nearest to them as well as farthest, everywhere I show them the same purpose, the same loving father and the same cause.

54] Everywhere I explain to them what the source of all creation is, whether through the microscope or telescope they want to contemplate My miracles - everywhere it is, was and will be love that created everything, preserves everything and perfects everything.

55] In Orion, as in the smallest atom of the world's ether, it calls to you all what My angels once sung at My Birth:

56] "Peace" with the world! "Peace" preaches My creation, "peace" is My ultimate goal - and "peace" shall also reign among you!

57] Look where you want to go, and you will find that nature always wants to establish peace where it has been disturbed by elementary events or something else. Every created being longs for peace.

58] The approaching Christmas should also remind you of this peace.

59]"Peace with the world, with yourselves" be also your watchword for the coming year, that you may spread it wherever your position is!

60] So may the light from the last nebulas of Orion also send you peace, where worlds whose distance and greatness may be incalculable for you, but whose tendency and existence likewise only obey the laws of peace and send you the gentle ray of love of their light, so that you may recognize that even there the same law still exists, the same care is given, which does not forget the last worm also here on your little earth and which only wants to spread peace everywhere, because only in peace love alone can be active! Amen.
