Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, not long ago I enlightened you about the way the darkness binds you and thereby robs you of your freedom. You notice this only in the rarest cases, but through the tools I have placed in your hands you are now able to discover inner and outer unfreedom and to decide to develop your true greatness and competence, the freedom from bonds that lies within you, and the liberating personal responsibility that a large part of My human children have lost.
I want to let you look still more deeply into My wisdom so that you come to know yourselves ever better, see through the background more clearly, and look more deeply into the connections, while the mists that still lie over your consciousness will dissolve more and more—if you wish. In the process it will become clear to you why so many of your requests and prayers, which you address to Me with the desire for change, protection, or improvement, do not produce the results you hoped for. I would not be your loving Father if at the same time I did not show you the way out of this unsatisfactory situation, which many people, ignorant of spiritual laws, see as a dilemma and which they—in ignorance again—attribute to an unjust God, unless they have long since lost faith in a higher power.
But first I call to your remembrance what has often been the subject of My word of revelation, though it has frequently been forgotten or not sufficiently observed; it is indispensable for further reflection on your part if that reflection is to lead to satisfactory answers and lasting insights: My creation is built upon immutable spiritual laws that have applied from eternity and will remain valid throughout eternity. Every spiritual being has unfolded these principles within itself, principles that operate both in the creation invisible to you and in the visible creation. When a human being too begins to recognize and accept them and align his life with them, he has taken the decisive step on his way back to the Father’s house.
Everything is energy; even your scientists discovered that long ago. Matter too is nothing other than energy that appears in its condensed form in material creation. Love too is energy, as are consciousness, inner feelings, and thoughts; the beautiful and the ugly, the constructive and encouraging just as much as the destructive and ruinous. Every form of communication in and with all that exists requires energy and at the same time is energy. No life is possible without this uninterrupted transfer of energy.
I am the eternal source from which life-creating and life-sustaining energy flows. Without Me there would be nothing! Your life came into being through Me, it is nourished by Me, and because I have no end, you too have no end. Nothing in My creation can perish—not in the sense of dissolving into nothingness. This applies to the material realm as well, which will merely be transformed into another, more subtle form of existence.
In accordance with the law that like attracts like and unlike repels unlike, the communication that takes place without interruption between everything and everyone also proceeds. This applies as well to the outpouring of My infinite love. The quality of My stream of life is the highest-vibrating energy in creation. It is love, peace, harmony, service, selflessness, joy, light, and infinitely much more. Every creature in the eternal home is—in freedom!—integrated into My stream of life and creatively active within it; and all people and souls likewise carry in the depths of their spiritual being everything with which I originally endowed them.
*
From the fact alone that all processes are governed by My law and that everything is energy, much can be deduced—with the help of the logic of the heart I teach you—that can open your eyes. Since My love excludes arbitrariness, there can be nothing in all creation based on favoring one person or excluding another. My justice applies equally to all, without any exception. The life I led as Jesus of Nazareth was subject to the same laws as the life of every other human being before and after Me.
So when many of My human children have the impression that I act unjustly because one person experiences good things and another does not, even though outwardly he seems to believe, think, or live in the same way, they merely express that they do not know how My law of love works. They have either not been taught at all or—what is worse—have been taught wrongly. If they have any image of God at all, they carry within them that of a “dear God” whom one can turn to at will when something weighs on one’s heart. Sometimes He apparently listens, sometimes or most of the time He does not; and when a request or prayer is not answered, this is usually accepted without giving any thought to why that is so—possibly for many years or an entire lifetime.
This passivity leads into a spiritual dead end just as surely as the view that there cannot be a God who permits so much suffering without intervening. Those who think this way have been given an image of God that has nothing in common with what I truly am. One can live reasonably well for a while with such a false understanding of God, usually until a blow of fate comes “out of a clear blue sky,” shaking the weak foundation of a structure of faith based on false teachings and then not infrequently causing it to collapse.
Recognize in this the sophistication of the darkness’s method: first to draw a false image of God which, when My laws then unfold their effects, often leads to the collapse of faith or to indifference. This is possible only because My working is largely unknown to you due to the refusal of your theologians to proclaim the truth.
To protect My children from this, I raise My word again and again. Therefore, My beloved sons and daughters, I spread before you My law in which you all live. It is a law of love, even if it is not conveyed to you correctly because your “intermediaries” do not know it or interpret it falsely—in any case because they have not understood it and their own lives are not grounded in My law. For My law has the aim of bringing back every being that once left the heavens.
And because I have the will to do so and I am omnipotence, this will happen! For no power equals My power, and no one can prevent Me from bringing My children home!
If you accept that everything happens within My law, you will also be able to acknowledge that how I behave toward one person or another is never subject to an individual judgment by Me, whether I come toward you here or hold back there. What meets you in life as good or less good is determined by My law, whose activation and effect rest exclusively on your behavior. By this I mean your inner feeling, thinking, speaking, and acting; your intentions, your conscious or unconscious motivations, your effort to live a life of love put into practice, or your indifference toward yourselves and your neighbor and therefore toward Me, the love.
For better understanding I give you an example: if you are fined because you made a mistake in road traffic, you certainly will not quarrel with the politician responsible for your traffic law. The law has come into force, and—especially if you violated valid rules—you will normally not regard the ticket as unjust. But how would it look if you knew nothing at all of such a law? Not even that some wrong behavior on your part must underlie the penalty? And even more so if the notice of the fine arrived so much later that you could no longer remember or see any connection? In your ignorance, would you not necessarily accuse the official of arbitrariness?
Transfer this example to your life, which unfolds exclusively within My law of love—whether you know it or not, indeed whether you want it or not. Then, if you do not leave the logic of the heart out of your reflections, you have found the answer yourselves …
*
My law, which also includes harmony, requires that disharmony be returned to harmony, that balance be restored where an imbalance previously arose. Disharmony or imbalance is always the consequence when My law of love was violated beforehand. Balance means that where something was taken—in the form of energy through contrary behavior—something is again supplied or restored, in the form of positive energy based on an attitude and an action that correspond to My commandment of love. My law of cause and effect provides for this restoration; if you like, it contains a “correction program.” This is not punishment, but is intended, through confronting a person with the consequences of his unlawful actions, to point out the wrongness of what he did and move him to turn around.
The term “karma,” which you adopted from Eastern usage, denotes a burden of guilt resting on the soul. Karma thus represents the sum of what a person or a group has accumulated and taken upon itself through loveless, selfish behavior. Karma is indeed a factor that must be taken seriously and can be used to explain blows of fate, suffering, distress, illness, situations that appear hopeless, and much more. But it is just as true that much harm can be done with it when karma—usually toward others—is used “as a club” to influence, suppress, or evoke feelings of guilt, through which the other person can then be more easily manipulated and steered according to the manipulator’s wishes.
There is also another form of misuse of karma: against oneself. It is often too quickly invoked as a false explanation for a difficult or painful situation, which frequently leads a person to believe he does not need to examine himself, his behavior, and his true motives: “That is karma; I did something wrong sometime in the past, and now it is catching up with me. “I have to bear it; there is nothing I can change.” In such cases “working it off” is the explanation, which can resemble poison when it is introduced with dishonest intent into an ignorant consciousness.
The consequences of a wrong way of eating that often appear only later are no more karma than the consequences of unhealthy clothing worn out of vanity, or disregard of natural laws or the rules of human coexistence, and so on. What lies behind these things is lack of insight, ignorance, egoism, foolishness, lack of reason, and much more.
So beware, My beloved! Here the darkness has set a trap meant to lead you onto a false trail and above all to prevent you from bringing about a change within yourselves through realization and decision. Even if it is karma that burdens you, that does not automatically mean that I cannot mitigate, transform, and dissolve it in your soul. To cite karma as the cause of various forms of suffering, stagnation, or lack of progress may be correct; but—and I engrave this deeply into the hearts that have opened themselves to Me in love—it can just as well be false, and in most cases it is. Far more often, the reasons why problems are not dissolved, a prayer is not answered, an oppressive situation does not change, or a request is not fulfilled are entirely different—reasons to be sought and found within yourselves, which only you can remove from the world, and which have not the remotest thing to do with karma.
In connection with the false idea of karma, the concept of “acceptance” must not be overlooked either. Much over which you have no influence, because My law presently sees it as important and right for your inner development, often comes upon you or accompanies you for a time without your finding an explanation for it. It can indeed help then to remember that I make no mistakes and My law works flawlessly. Accepting the circumstances is then one possibility—sometimes the only possibility—so as not to quarrel with fate and waste energy needlessly. In the process patience and trust are built up and strengthened.
But here too acceptance is often viewed as the only perspective for dealing with a given situation. Partnership and marriage problems that have smoldered for years belong in this area. Yet there are other ways to master a crisis or difficult situation—ways that not only initiate faster easing or resolution but can also help you recognize your nature or a trait of character. By changing the recognized fault or weakness, your soul is also strengthened, and a different, positive, more loving and understanding behavior becomes your own in the future.
Yet in the eyes of My children this alternative, which is part of inner work, often appears the more difficult option compared with “I accept what God sends me,” because it means self-knowledge, effort, and giving up cherished peculiarities. And so not infrequently it remains with “humbly resigned” acceptance—and an opportunity for character change is lost.

The free will I gave to everyone grants you boundlessness in your actions—as long as you move within the framework of My laws of love. It is a wonderful part of your divine inheritance, but it has a largely unknown side that you may call the “other side of the coin.” Used rightly, it opens to you all possibilities of action and only begins gradually to restrict itself when the principles of love are persistently violated. Restriction in this case means that a contrary action—depending on its frequency and severity—brings the rules of sowing and reaping into play, and sooner or later you are confronted with the consequences of what you have done.
To emphasize it once more: it is not I as your God and Father who decides in each case what consequence follows from an act or omission; rather, the law in which you all live comes into force. So there is no reason to quarrel with Me or accuse Me of injustice or arbitrariness. My law is “activated” by the originator himself; in the worst case it is “set loose like an avalanche.”
I have repeatedly pointed out to you the bonds*) into which you have fallen through the influence of the opposing side, which arose over the course of one life or several lives and mean dependence. Dependence, however, is the opposite of freedom. I have also enlightened you about the possibilities of recognizing bonds and releasing them with My help.
I know that many of My children desire to become free of their bonds in order to come closer to My heart. I support every effort, however small; and so I see that many, despite good will and honest intention, are disappointed when or because they experience no change, or no substantial change, within themselves or their surroundings. There are reasons for this, and I want to bring one of them close to you through the following reflections—if you leave aside from your consideration the karma just mentioned:
Remember that the law of attraction and repulsion governs communication between everything, and that this communication takes place on an energetic basis. Something is sent here, something is received there. Whether it evokes resonance depends on whether it has the same vibration. What does not fit together, for example, because it contains a contradiction within itself, is the desire on the one hand to be freed from something and on the other hand not to want to give up the reasons for the unfreedom. Figuratively speaking, “two souls beat in the breast” of the human being: the head longs for relief, but the heart does not want to release what has become dear to it. In such cases the consciously or unconsciously radiated will will prevail, for it has absolute priority.
Fundamentally, however, even if no immediate resonance occurs, no energy is lost; therefore no prayer and no request runs “somewhere into the depths of the universe” and disappears. I know everything you lay before Me and everything you ask of Me.
And yet I remain silent? And yet I do not answer your requests?
My child, I do not remain silent! I am never silent! How could I be, and why should I? I live in you! If you could already hear Me within you, you would long since know My answer and would have recognized your error in thinking. Because in the great majority of cases this is not yet as we—I and you—would wish, I enlighten you through My word of revelation. It is indeed true that I do not answer your request, or do not answer it at once, even though I hear it. If you love Me, you will know there must be reasons for this, embedded in My law of love. Therefore do not leave the logic of the heart out of the following thoughts:
Many of My children turn to Me with wishes and requests to receive this or that, or to be freed or spared from this or that. It lies in human nature to want to avoid the unpleasant and seek and obtain the pleasant. In many cases this leads people, under pressure from the circumstances to which they are exposed, to ask Me to make the situation easier or even dissolve it. What is often forgotten is that there was—must have been—something in the person’s behavior that allowed the situation to arise in the first place. Many want to get out of circumstances, but they want to retain the behavior—their thinking, speaking, and acting—that first brought those circumstances about.
In this they resemble a sick person who wants to become healthy but does not want to give up his health-damaging habits. Your doctors, who as a rule do not conduct or cannot conduct a deeper conversation with the patient, leave this background aside and prescribe medication. Has that solved the problem …?
I am your physician of the soul; I proceed differently. For Me the well-being of your soul comes first, for it is not your human body that I bring back to the eternal home, but the spiritual being, My beloved child. And so I will not prescribe you medicine that helps the human being only superficially and for a short time; rather, I have a “holistic approach,” as you would call it. When the prerequisites are given through your free will, through your decision to leave the old and do the new, then My law can and will bring about something positive in your soul which, if circumstances permit, will also have an effect in your human self.
Here you encounter the other side of the coin called “free will,” whose significance I already indicated in My last word of revelation.
But it is not only your behavior that led you into life situations you regard as oppressive and therefore in need of change and keeps you trapped in them. It goes deeper: it is the benefit, the advantage, the pleasure, and the satisfaction—not or not only of a sensual kind—that you drew for yourselves from what you did or failed to do. If you had gained nothing from it, you would not have maintained or cultivated the practice. What you “gained” from it is what bound you and made you dependent, and it will continue to bind you if you are not willing to give it to Me for transformation.
You might say—and not a few do—“Why can’t You simply take it away from me? I want out of this dilemma!” Are you really certain that you not only want out of your dilemma, but also want in the future to relinquish what was so important to you in the past: apparent superiority, enjoyment, power, vanity, self-display, prestige, directing marriage and family, interfering as the one who knows better, and much, much more? Do you want to exchange these for humility, service, simplicity, stepping back, modesty, selflessness, and more?
Be clear about this: you have all lived from these things, in differing degrees. Perhaps it happened unconsciously, but it was part of your existence. And beyond that, you were in turn being lived through by forces that repeatedly enlivened these qualities within you because, as “energy takers,” they benefited from them.
The more intimate your desire and the more serious your effort to become free of the dependencies described, the more intensively and quickly My law can begin the transformation. But this does not always happen from one day to the next, and above all it does not work when fanaticism is the driving force. It must be a need of your heart, based on the realization: “Father, there I have lived by a false idea. I am sorry. “Will You help me become free of my dependencies?” To become free of them, My sons and daughters—not only of what bothers you more or less outwardly, is unpleasant to you, makes your life difficult, or burdens you in some way!
What do you think: will I answer such a prayer? Truly, I tell you: I am only waiting for a child, having recognized wrong behavior, to come to Me! My arms will embrace it and My love will envelop it. And there is nothing that can prevent My help and support from taking effect! A prayer cannot, however, be answered as long as dependence on wishes and actions remains and these are not to be given up. If you have a sense of humor: I do not prescribe medicines that merely fight symptoms.
That is law, My law! It respects free will! And that at the same time is the other side of this wonderful coin. It also shows you that in most cases it is not karma that is the great brake on your way back to Me, but your self-will that prevents more rapid development.
That I am love you know. Nor is it unfamiliar to you that I come many steps toward you when you take yours. So all that remains is whether you want to release yourselves from the bonds that have made you dependent by walking more closely than before at My hand in the future. If this is your desire and will, then I tell you: requests of this kind take precedence over all others! For what do I desire more than that a child says to Me: “Father, I want to return to You.”
Truly, I tell you: all the powers of heaven needed for such a homecoming are mobilized. I place helpers and friends at your side on this side and beyond, acting in My name and in My spirit. And not only I, but all of us wait to be able to receive with open arms the son, the daughter, the brother, the sister—all who once left the Father’s house.
Amen
