Divine Revelation (in response to some of our prayers)
I want to respond directly to your prayers, which were of roughly the same content. It is a widespread weakness among My children that they cannot accept their fellow human beings as they are. I spoke to you about this in My last revelation when I gave you the example of the physician who must meet a patient without prejudice if he truly wants to help him.
Again and again I rejoice when My children—who, on the path of self-knowledge, encounter their weaknesses—come to Me with the request that I help them overcome these weaknesses. My children can give Me no greater joy than to turn to Me in full trust, conscious of their shortcomings. For that is why I am here, that is why I came into the world, and that is why My power flows into every willing heart.
I take your requests very seriously; you too take them just as seriously. And in this case taking them seriously means, as far as Me and My promise are concerned: I will fulfill My part! How can this happen? Certainly not in such a way that, without any contribution on your part, I virtually “make you better people in your sleep.” I would thereby have prevented a necessary process of development in your character and soul. For all weaknesses and faults have as their basis the fact that something is still immature, that something therefore still has to be acquired and strengthened through learning.
I will therefore give you—but not only you, rather everyone who comes to Me—opportunities to practice what still needs to be practiced and made your own. That means: I will lead you into situations in which you can practice forbearance, patience, empathy, love, and perhaps even mercy already. And when such situations arise, I will also give you the proper attentiveness, which you will then become conscious of as well, provided that you truly have the heartfelt desire to change in this respect.
So when you go through your days, be watchful, or ask for the necessary watchfulness so that you recognize the corresponding situations. When you then encounter someone who practically challenges you by his manner, remember that here and now an opportunity has arisen to practice service and humility; that someone is standing before you who, at heart, needs your love. With every encounter you successfully pass through with My help, tolerance and understanding for the other person grow. And in your soul the faults and weaknesses underlying your behavior are gradually dissolved. This can happen very quickly, but it may also take some time, depending on the extent of the burden on the soul and on your earnestness.
That is My help, which I add to your willingness: I create situations for you that challenge you a little; I bring you together with people who are mirrors for you; and for the solution of your task you receive infinitely much power—My love. In this way the shadows within you become brighter and brighter, and with every step you take successfully, new joy and new strength flow to you. Amen.
Divine Revelation
My light fills this room, and I bring you the peace of heaven, which descends into every open heart and fills it with joy. Rejoice, My beloved, for you are sons and daughters of infinity and eternity who have recognized your true nature and found love, and who go through their day, through their life, with Me in order to become more and more love.
Today I want to let you look a little more deeply into the laws of creation and bring the laws of life closer to you in further aspects; for only the one who knows My laws and—so far as he is able—understands them can consciously live with them without rebelling against what destiny from time to time seemingly presents to him unjustly.
My creation was called into life through My holy will, and it rests upon My law. This law is flawless and absolute, and it is—love! Divine, unconditional, selfless love! Laws, as you know from your own experience, are necessary in order to bring order into all that happens. This is true not only in matter; it applies to the entire creation, and therefore also to the purely spiritual worlds.
When I speak about order and law, I sense in many of My human children a certain reluctance, a displeasure. The reason is that areas of their lives are still untidy, and if they were to follow My words with joy, they would have to set about bringing light into many a dark corner. They do not find that particularly agreeable. Yet it changes nothing about the fact that order is the foundation of My lawfulness, followed by will, wisdom, earnestness, patience, love, and finally mercy.
Every perfect child of God had to pass through all seven of these stages and unfold them within itself, and only the successfully mastered final stage of mercy crowns the divine being, which is then endowed with a might and a power whose magnitude is beyond your understanding and imagination.
You too, and you, and you, are such a being of heaven, even if at present you are clothed in a human body. But within you is everything that I, as your heavenly Father, once placed within you and that must be unfolded on the journey back to Me so that you can take up your divine inheritance again. All beings, even if they are outside heaven, are perfect in their true innermost essence, children of My light and My love, wherever they may be.
When a spirit being leaves its home, heaven, and enters matter in order, for example, to fulfill a task there, it loses nothing of its divine qualities, its abilities and possibilities that are laid within it for eternity. The same, incidentally, also applied to those who left heaven out of self-will and caused the Fall; they too remain forever My children, whom I love to the same degree as all the others.
When the home of light is left, coverings of the soul settle around the radiant body and finally—at incarnation—the human body. Then at birth comes the great forgetting; and the overwhelming majority of My children, because they are unenlightened and kept ignorant, regard themselves merely as a product of matter.
Few know that everything divine within them continues to live within them, now indeed enveloped but not lost or dissolved. Those who feel in their hearts the longing to learn something about their true home and draw nearer to it, I can guide by enlightening them, by offering to live with them, and—if they say yes—by finally taking over the guidance of their lives.
I came into this world 2,000 years ago to bring light in a time of darkness. As I have told you more than once, this was a thorn in the side of the opposing forces, and they did everything they could to make unrecognizable the path that I showed human beings and lived before them. For whoever does not know about his true home, or has only a very indistinct and often even false picture of it, cannot choose it as his goal.
The longing in people’s hearts was directed the wrong way. Darkness worked and still works with means that draw people outward, with offers of all kinds of noisy amusements, with material and intellectual incentives, but also with fear, aggression, doubts, unrest, and much more. Thus people remained on the surface of their consciousness and no longer found their way into the depths, to themselves. The fact that I live in every creature was denied, as was the possibility that I want and am able to speak with My children directly and on familiar terms.
That is how it was, and that is how it is—today more serious than ever before.
The consequence is ignorance spread throughout the world, combined with inner and outer chaos, which in turn has the consequence that most people do not shape their lives in the sense in which I lived before them and taught them. To satisfy human needs, all kinds of rites, traditions, pomp, and idolatry were invented, which distracted people more and more and drew and still draw them outward, until finally—as I once expressed it—the packaging became more important than the content.
But whether My children know Me or not: it changes nothing about the fact that I live within everyone, that I love each one, and that I—who have the power—will also bring each one back to Me! For I am who I am!
My laws ensure order in My creation, and one of these laws that regulates and maintains this order says: like attracts like. It applies on the coarse-material, that is, material level just as it does in the subtle realms. This attraction has the effect that people of like spirit find one another, because I can guide them through this law. But it also has the consequence that the forces of darkness can reach and strengthen the negative in human beings along corresponding tracks; for in the negative too, like attracts like.
Knowledge of this is infinitely important when the question is raised: What happens after earthly life? How often have I told you already: “There is no death as you understand it. There is only the laying aside of the human body and then an immediate transition into another, non-material world.” What that world looks like—what the world of each individual in the beyond looks like—each person determines for himself; he has it in his own hands. Everyone encounters the environment he has created within himself, in his soul. In many cases the new home is much brighter and friendlier than the old one. People who stood at the threshold of so-called death but returned because the connection between soul and body had not yet been severed have reported many kinds of experiences of this. A large number of such reports describe a love with which they were received and in which they were enveloped, a love they had not known on earth. They experienced unity with all that is; they experienced freedom, clarity, lightness, expansiveness, mercy, and they experienced—figuratively speaking—open arms and an embrace that applied no standard to whether they were good or bad. In other words: they felt that despite their imperfection they were infinitely and unconditionally loved.
Whoever has once been allowed to have this experience will be reluctant to return to his human body. There are different reasons why people experience something like this. It can be an act of grace, a preview, an advance glimpse of what the soul will one day encounter on the other side. And yet, despite all its beauty, it is still not the infinite glory and perfection of heaven; but even the preliminary stages leading there are experienced as cheerful, sunlit, and infinitely blissful—and the feeling of being loved for one’s own sake despite all inadequacy and shortcomings is overwhelming.
Whoever returns to life is a different person. The experience of being loved has given him a new perspective, brought him freedom from fear, a feeling of infinite security and familiarity, and deep trust. Yet within this experience lies the danger of a mistaken conclusion, because from this insight one may falsely conclude: “I can remain as I am. For in every case I am loved, even with my faults and weaknesses.” What reason is there then to make a change?
Love does not exclude change; indeed, in accordance with My law, it encourages change, for everything in My creation is evolution, that is, development. One thing builds upon another, and so ideally the soul—according to its desire for transformation—already rises stage by stage even while clothed as a human being. The love that accompanies it is always the same: infinitely great and selfless, without reproach and always respecting free will. But this does not mean that human being and soul can remain permanently at one stage if they want to draw nearer to perfection.
Perhaps a small example will make clear what I mean. A mother says to her child, who comes in from playing: “My darling, I am happy to see you, and you know that I love you very much. But you are not coming to the table with those dirty hands!”
Parents have the task of raising their children—which is more than merely feeding them—and if they do it rightly, they do so in love but also according to certain rules. In this way they help the child learn and continually learn more, building upon what it has been able to make its own so far. If tutoring is required, that is not a punishment. Nor is it a restriction of the child’s freedom and joy; rather, it is a prerequisite for the child eventually to receive and enjoy the freedom and joy that the parents hold ready for it.
And truly, I tell you: I am the best Father, the best Mother, with the greatest love, so great and all-embracing that no human being can imagine it! My entire longing is directed toward My child, and My all-embracing help serves one thing alone: to uncover again within My child what already lies there—the stages of development from order to mercy. For I want to and will take every one of My children back into My arms!
In this respect you can also say: “There is really nothing new to learn. The task is only to uncover again what is already laid within me—what may seem new to the human being, but has existed in his true inner being since eternity.” For if you want to and will become love again, that means love is already within you, and now the only thing needed is to move aside what has prevented love from breaking through to a greater degree than before. It means moving stone after stone aside, letting the spring flow more abundantly again, and thereby rising stage by stage, as conveyed by the image of Jacob’s ladder.
Nothing delights My heart more than when a child awakens and says to Me in inner feeling or in words—it makes no difference: “Father, You are my home. I am coming back. Please help me.”
What do you think happens in heaven in such moments? There is exuberant joy, the course is set, and many present themselves as friends and helpers. But I must also add this: from that moment on the work begins, the inner work; for climbing the stages means work. Yet this work is at the same time connected with the increase of your strength, your light, your joy, and your love—if it is undertaken voluntarily and is not set in motion by the law of cause and effect. That is generally the more difficult variant.
Whether this work is begun in matter or undertaken on the other side: the principle is always the same. When a soul recognizes what it could have done and still should have done, out of love for Me, the life that sustains it, sooner or later it will feel the desire to learn what it has neglected so far. I have infinitely many possibilities for guiding My children in the beyond as well and letting them climb stage by stage there too on the “ladder to heaven” until they finally rest at My heart.
My beloved, open your hearts and feel what I now pour into you: the light that comes directly from heaven, that touches every single particle of your soul, that sets you into another vibration, that strengthens the desire for unity, harmony, and love, and the longing to come into My arms.
Come, My child. I give you everything you need for your yes and your path to Me, for I love you—forever. Amen.
