Divine Revelation
The One of whom you spoke, My beloved brother, is I, Christ, the love from the Father, who is the Creator and God of infinity, the Source from which all blessings flow for you human beings and for you souls.
I, the light, am in your midst, and I pour Myself into every heart that has opened to Me; and truly, countless are those who were invited and have come. And to you, My beloved, I say: your sister too [the biological mother of one of the brothers], whom in the past days you were permitted—as you say—to accompany across into the realm of the Spirit and of light—I have brought her with Me as well.
Oh, if only you could see the garment woven of light that she wears; for she served Me in her way, and blissfully she received the divine reward from My hands in My arms. I have comforted her.
So you too be comforted and know: Whoever serves Me and walks My paths will receive My gifts in abundance. He will find himself in the freedom I have prepared for all those who, in their human life, recognized why they are here and how they are to take their steps in My Spirit.
Many are traveling the paths of this world, wandering without goal, without orientation; truly, they are poor human beings and souls. But I have gone out to promise and bring to all of them—to every single being—the healing, peace, and love from the kingdom of God, and to take each one into My arms in his hour of fulfillment.
I envelop you in My love. I remain with you with My peace; and you continue to celebrate your gathering in My Spirit in this holy hour, My beloved brothers and sisters.
Amen.
Divine Revelation
My beloved brothers and sisters, in My word that you have just heard I spoke of freedom. I want to deepen this point, especially with a view to who or what prevents My human children from growing into the freedom that already lies within them and that awaits them one day.
I spoke earlier of the souls present here, and I tell you: this room is not only filled with My radiance, My glory, and My light, but countless of your brothers and sisters from the realms of souls have come with Me because they know that the subject I am going to address is equally important for them.
Whenever and in whatever way I raise My word, it is borne by My unconditional love. It conveys infinite understanding, consolation and hope, security and peace. Again and again it portrays for you the many facets of your divine nature. But even when My word is earnest, it is spoken from love; how could it be otherwise? Yet love—My love—also includes the fact that I guide My own, and guidance also includes enlightenment, therefore making visible the dangers that are still invisible to you and consequently cannot yet be recognized. What kind of love would let its children wander astray without warning them, without pointing out dangerous cliffs, traps, and ambushes that lie in wait along their path? Uncovering is therefore an aspect of love, and it has nothing to do with condemning.
I would like to give what I will deepen today the heading: Learning to See with the Eyes of Love. And the subtitle could be: Becoming Free of Fetters and Attachments.
You know about the law of attraction, including the fact that like vibrations find one another and unlike ones repel each other. And you know the saying: “Whoever wants to enter heaven must bring heaven with him”; which means: he must carry it within himself—at least largely unfolded.
My goal, founded in My almighty will, is to bring all My children home again to My heart. No one can thwart this will of Mine forever. But there are forces in creation—which I did not create, but which through the misuse of self-will became darkness—that at least try to do so, that pursue another, contrary goal, namely to prevent this return home. Figuratively speaking: they place fetters on sons or daughters who desire to return to the Father’s house, or create attachments that make it difficult for My brothers and sisters to walk the path of love, and not infrequently even make it impossible for a time. But they also place fetters on those who do not yet feel within themselves this desire for light and love, thereby preventing even the first insights from arising.
They are forces interested in preserving and expanding their dark realm, and in doing so—as I have often told you—they proceed with extreme subtlety. One of the means by which they repeatedly succeed in preventing people from moving forward is the curtailment of their freedom.
Now some among you will say: “Surely I would not voluntarily let myself be put in fetters.”
My brother, My sister, if you think or speak this way, you have not yet seen through the sophisticated system of darkness. It takes your freedom without your noticing it. It binds you, and you do not perceive it; you do not even suspect it. With this bondage—and this is what is dangerous about its method—comes a restriction of your consciousness!
Restriction means that your inner feeling and thinking become narrower and narrower, that the powers of your soul diminish unnoticed, that eventually you lack the ability to “see through” things, for then you are no longer, or hardly any longer, able to recognize things in depth. True seeing—not seeing with the eyes!—thus becomes impossible, so that you see only the surface of everything and no longer recognize the danger lying beneath the surface. This restriction proceeds in such small steps that the change is hardly perceptible. Whoever is bound in this way becomes almost unreachable by hints and indications, indeed not even by well-founded evidence.
By whom and in what way are these attachments created? On the one hand by people, groups, organizations, and ideologies whose goals are not selfless, although they have often written My name on their banners. Because I am freedom, I do not bind. And whoever truly represents My teaching will likewise not bind his followers, members, students, or whatever they may be called; rather, his effort will be to help them grow into inner and outer freedom.
And on the other hand there are attachments that the human being imposes upon himself through his own, more or less voluntary decisions in many areas of his life. These include, for example, all habits and behaviors that you indeed recognize—in quiet moments, and when I can reach you—as needing and requiring change, but whose working through you do not undertake because you do not want to or cannot, or can no longer do so.
Everything that you do not put into practice in accordance with love is something to which you are bound—in differing degrees. If in your soul you feel impulses that freedom, as I understand it, is really something quite different from what you experience, then you have gained your first insights into your attachments.
If you wish, look at your life once from these points of view. You will find example after example, and if you allow it, I will open your inner eyes and let you recognize your attachments.
Throughout the world, near and far, on both a large and small scale, this instrument of attachment, inner curtailment of freedom, and restriction of the consciousness of My human children is being used. For the opposing forces such measures are a necessity, because in this way they can prevent independent, personally responsible thinking and action. Hardly anyone knows about it, hardly anyone notices it, and when enlightenment is given about it, it is not infrequently dismissed as untruth or fantasy.
Naturally, darkness must at all costs prevent its followers, those it has appropriated, from recognizing their attachments. It has devised quite a few things for this purpose. Among them is distorting My teaching, giving it another meaning and thus bringing a false idea of love and harmony into the world. I use a modern formulation of one such false teaching, which says: “You are good, I am good, we all love one another.”
That, My friends, is restriction of consciousness to the highest degree. That is not the love I teach; that is not the freedom into which I lead everyone who turns to Me and entrusts himself to Me. It is bondage because self-knowledge is missing and the impression is created: Everything is already good. Why should there be any reason to change anything?
My teaching says: Love—but do not condemn!
In many of My revelations I have told you that I am not blind and that I am not deaf. That I see and hear everything My children do and express, the good as well as the less good—and yet I still love them unconditionally. Let us look together at how, as Jesus of Nazareth, I put into practice the commandment of love for one’s neighbor, which also includes love of enemies.
Do you believe I did not look into the depths of the souls of those who persecuted Me? That I did not recognize the evil within them—including the demonic forces standing behind them and inciting them from the invisible realm—in those who killed Me? Do you believe I said: “Everything is good; keep going as you are”? I suffered their abuse, but nevertheless I saw in My tormentors My brothers and sisters, who carried within themselves—deeply hidden, but nevertheless present—divine love.
The difficulty, indeed the inability, of many people lies in loving even when they discover something negative. But it is no solution to put on rose-colored glasses merely because one still has weaknesses in matters of tolerance and love of neighbor and fears that one might condemn or even judge another person because of his faults, which of course does not correspond to the law of love.
When I look into the hearts of My brothers and sisters who hear these words and who will read them, I see in some a small resistance, at least the quiet attempt at an objection that says: “Of course You were able to do that; You were Jesus of Nazareth! Love was incarnated within You. It is not possible for me, as a weak human being, to imitate Your conduct.”
Here, My friends, I object. I will not accept this as it stands, at least not from those who have given Me their yes and thereby begun to follow Me. Following Me means the honest effort to walk in My footprints and step by step to find a way of behaving—as far as is possible for a human being—that corresponds to My conduct, at least to strive to emulate this conduct, even if it still happens quite imperfectly. It means learning to see with the eyes of love; recognizing one’s so-called enemies, but not condemning them because of what they do. This is included in My commandment to love your enemies.
This is a high demand, perhaps the highest one for you in this life. But the demand can be fulfilled if you desire it. For then I am the One who directs your steps, strengthens your soul, gives you opportunities to practice your love in daily life, indeed to put it into practice and develop it further. Then I am the One who stands by you with counsel and action.
You are to be proclaimers of My love, I once said, and thus fishers of men. And I expand My word by another aspect: fishers of men and proclaimers of My love are also physicians of the soul. They know what their neighbor needs; they bless him, strengthen him in his efforts, help him inwardly and outwardly in working on his faults and problems, envelop him in their love, and give him courage. That is one side. There is also a second: if there is a need to help beyond blessing—naturally while respecting his free will—physicians of the soul must be able to “look beneath the surface” in order then to recognize what their neighbor truly needs.
How does a worldly physician proceed? You know yourselves. Before therapy comes diagnosis. And this is how I desire My followers to be: that wherever it is appropriate and necessary, they learn to see without thereby labeling their neighbor in inner feeling and thought and pushing him aside.
Whoever wants to walk this path, whoever wants to help his neighbor recognize his imperfections, must first have recognized himself. Without self-knowledge there is no true and deep recognition of your neighbor. And without recognition there is no foundation and no incentive to strive for change.
It is important that you recognize these connections. It is important that you understand why and in what way the forces of darkness place fetters on those who do not know, and it is important that you know of My love, which wants to teach you to see and make you free. That is why I have awakened within you the desire to cast off your fetters and go into the light and into freedom, the freedom into which your sister too has gone [see revelation on page 1], and which awaits each one of you who longs for freedom.
When you take the first steps of recognition, another trap waits to bind you again. For it is not merely a matter of recognizing attachments and releasing them, but also of forgiving the one who bound you, and forgiving yourselves for having allowed yourselves to be bound. Whoever does not forgive remains bound. And truly, I tell you: all attachments must be released, and the one is well advised who begins this during earthly life. And everything that has been done to someone must be forgiven, if not here, then in the beyond. But in the beyond, My friends, under certain circumstances this will be much more difficult.
Once again I direct your gaze toward the lightness that is within you, that is part of your true nature, toward your greatness, your independence, toward the light you radiate. Take this image and work toward it. Include Me in your work, and I promise you: together we will go into the freedom that is your inheritance.
Amen.
Divine Revelation (in response to a prayer)
See, My beloved daughter, did I not say that I look into every heart? I know about each one of you, what you desire, but also what you need.
And My will is that the eternal child within you, the radiant divine being, one day find its way back to Me, to My heart—which is the origin of all life.
Therefore I will cause and arrange all things in such a way that first and foremost they benefit and serve your soul. And if beyond that they are also good for your human self, then the wishes of the human being will be fulfilled as well. Thus, My beloved, I, the Eternal One, guide you all.
I was present during your conversations. I not only listened to them, but guided them as well; and if you allow it and look into the depths of your inner being, every one of you will be able to say: “Yes, Lord, from Your hands today I was again permitted to receive a gift for myself and for my further path.”
Thus, My beloved, you are blessed—you here in your circle, in this consecrated hour that lies behind you, and you too, My beloved soul-children. Recognize who you are, recognize My hand, recognize My love, and turn around and away from everything that still binds you and holds you fast on your path back to Me.
I want you to find your way into the freedom of the Spirit that is still incomprehensible to you human beings, into the freedom of love; for everything that does not correspond to My divine and therefore true love is also not true freedom. My power and My enveloping light accompany you in every hour, on every day of the path that lies before you.
I do not leave you; do not leave Me either.
Amen.
