Volume 11 · Chapter 20

. RAEL RELATES ABOUT HIS LIFE WHEN we were sitting at the table, Rael asked again where he actually saw Me, for he could not remember when that happened.

[GGJ.11_020,02] I said to him: “And still, it is very clearly written in your heart, but you dare not associate your fervent wish with an earthly human being. But would you not like to tell us yourself what the fervent wish is that lives in your heart?

[GGJ.11_020,03] Rael, who sat next to Me, said: “Rabbi, the wish of every true Israelite is that the anointed of the Lord would come down from the Heavens and would live among us people like the prophets have announced. My days are counted, and the years that are normally given to men have greatly exceeded. This mercy of God was always considered by me as a sign that it will still be given to me to see the One who was promised to us and will enter the city of David and sit on the throne in Sion as a mighty ruler. See, Rabbi, that these days may be fulfilled is the most fervent wish that lives in my heart, and this I have now revealed to You and Your followers.”

[GGJ.11_020,04] “Very right”, I said to Rael, whose face was merely shining when in pious belief he uttered this wish of his heart, “but tell us also if you ever discovered signs showing that the days are coming when God will visit His people?”

[GGJ.11_020,05] Rael said: “Rabbi, I would not live anymore if I were not to know this for sure. Look, I saw a lot of the world and I have tried to acquire a greater knowledge than only what the temple allows. Our rules forbid to get involved with other teachings but in my young years I was some kind of a freethinker and hardly asked myself whether it was allowed or not. And everything that pleased me was allowable to me. And since we were rich at home and because of the early death of my parents and could independently dispose of my riches, I wanted to travel, hoping to increase my knowledge by that and to acquire a position among the people which would be higher than a scribe who never went far beyond the walls of Jerusalem.

[GGJ.11_020,06] Formerly – now almost 100 years ago – the people of the Lord did not possess the real firm faith anymore, which is becoming now a lot more unstable, and in my childhood I suspected that soon the predictions of the prophets had to come true. My impatience increased when I saw that the people lost their freedom and when Pompeius1 finally conquered the land and the holy city. I can still see it before my eyes how the Roman commander penetrated into the sanctuary and how the people, who were standing around the temple, really expected that the wrath of the Highest would smash down on the head of the pagan who profaned the sanctuary. But nothing happened.

[GGJ.11_020,07] The Roman was impressed with the sanctity of the place and he fearfully withdrew from the Most Holy, but the wrath of the Highest was not poured down on his head or on the great power of Rome.

[GGJ.11_020,08] Also, the Savior, the Messiah, did not come to His people.

[GGJ.11_020,09] Then my heart was seized by a deep unbelief and I decided to turn away from the Promised Land. I already traveled through the whole region of Greece, Asia Minor and Italy, and I decided to search for the right knowledge where our people were enslaved – in Egypt. Moses had to be initiated in all the wisdom of the priests of the land of Egypt. I wanted to acquire the same wisdom.

[GGJ.11_020,10] Formerly it was almost impossible, and only with the greatest perseverance and by recommendation of the king, to penetrate into the temple and the mysteries, but nowadays it is by far not so difficult anymore because the Egyptian secret teaching became now also a merchandise as many other special products of trade. Those who strife to acquire a higher knowledge, the real, old wisdom is as good as not taught because the priests do not understand anymore themselves what lies behind their images, and they only have empty complicated words of their old mysteries, just like in our temple where the form has covered the spiritual kernel.

[GGJ.11_020,11] Only a few real, true priests – rare precious stones of the true, old cult – live withdrawn in a few regions of Egypt. They are partly considered as strange people, mocked and laughed at by their own companions, and partly honored as holy men by the people and the priests. But in truth, they are neither one nor the other but only faithful guards of the ancient, exalted, true faith and are left as witnesses of an important spiritual life of which the present world has no idea.

[GGJ.11_020,12] I was lucky to meet such a man. In Thebe I bought myself into the service of Horus. There lived an old sage in the temple who was still honored with timidity and awe by the priesthood. During hours of holy spiritual trance he received the spirit of prophecy and his spiritual eye was opened. And since everything happened precisely as the spirit revealed to him, he was highly esteemed.

[GGJ.11_020,13] It is only thanks to him that I have this knowledge because the respectable man loved me and he once told me that I would still see the One whom he would not be able to see anymore except through me. ‘The spirit of wisdom comes down, sent by the eternal Love and will spread the brightest light. Then Isis will mourn for her killed husband, but the eternal Son will take over the rulership of the throne of the Father. Then a new time will begin. The circle of the Earth will turn over and a new world will come up until the Son, equipped with all power, will again keep the great judgment of death and will separate what is just and unjust.’

[GGJ.11_020,14] This is what the sage told me, and I understand now very well what he meant.

[GGJ.11_020,15] And I, the only one whom he trusted completely, remained a disciple of this special man for 12 years. One day the sage told me that he felt that his death was near and he wanted me to keep what 120 he taught me. There is only one God, and everything that was created had to serve Him only. But the deity decided – as he was informed – to make His created beings very blessed by covering Himself with the flesh and to come down as a human being to show the ways to salvation to all who want to walk those ways. But shortly after that, a great judgment comes with it to make the ways clearly visible, also for the dark power of darkness. And although these ways are also valid for it, it tries to bring down what Love has built. Therefore, it would be good for everyone to examine himself so that he would not be hit by the judgment. And this examination should be: to love God above all and to respect the powers that radiate from Him, but not to worship them as gods, in order to avoid the wrong ways. It would not take long before the judgment will start to overthrow all the gods.

[GGJ.11_020,16] I had to swear to him that I would keep this one God of my fathers, for He was the same whom also he had found. Not a God of vengeance as He was often scold, but a God of love who is not furious neither punishes, who often must bring people to a halt so that they would not completely perish, and who often has to kill the bodies as the only means to save the souls. ‘See, the spirit told me – and my eyes have seen it – that your country was selected to let the great miracle become truth. There will happen what will always remain incomprehensible for the present time and later generations because it is divine and goes beyond human reason.’

[GGJ.11_020,17] This is how my teacher and leader spoke concerning the spiritual mystery of the first religion of the Egyptian people which in fact – when understood in the right manner – only contains the same truths that can also be found in our statutes, although in another form.

[GGJ.11_020,18] Soon after that, he died, and I returned to my homeland to expect the great time. It was revealed to me in clear dreams that I would still witness this, but it nevertheless seemed to me better to withdraw from the circle of the temple servants and scribes, for it became all too clear to me that salvation would not come from there. The expected Messiah could impossibly appear amidst 121 people who only believe in God as long as it is to their own advantage, or it had to be a Messiah of only the mighty, the rich and the prominent ones, but not someone who would make the people happy.”
