Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, whoever believes in Me—not merely with a profession of the lips, but in his heart—will also believe My words. And not only that: he will put them into practice, that is, fill them with his sincere effort. In this way he moves from faith to knowledge, from theory to practice. He gathers his experiences and comes to understand what it means to live with Me. He experiences Me as infinite love, as Father and Mother, as life itself, which with affection and tenderness gives itself without ceasing, gives and gives and gives.
I am the giver, the greatest servant of My creation, and the receiver—loved above all because called into life by Me for all eternity—is you. Grasp it, if you can already grasp it; or ask to be able to grasp it in its depth if you wish, because you desire to come nearer and nearer to Me.
I am without beginning and without end; and therefore what I have created and continue to create has no end either. For I create nothing that is transient, nothing that at some point ceases to exist. Use the logic of the heart I teach you and recognize the deep meaning of this word: it says that there is only life, life that lasts forever; therefore no death, no destruction, no extinction, no ceasing, no eternal separation from Me in the form of never-ending damnation, as some of your church teachings claim—an idea invented by human beings and not a divine proclamation or part of My law.
Once again: In Me there is only life!
Since you are from Me and carry My divine life within you, all views and ways of thinking that contain some kind of so-called death therefore lack any reasonable foundation. Your Father, your Creator, the primordial source of your eternal life and of the love I have placed within you tells you this!
The life I pour out without ceasing and by which I sustain everything has countless facets. You will come to know them—come to know them again—as you climb higher and higher on the ladder of your soul’s development, as you make progress in the worlds beyond, as your consciousness expands more and more and you recognize the great plan and the great love that stand behind everything still unknown and strange to you today.
Among its many facets is also the form of life—your life. Life is energy. Far too little thought is given to a fundamental finding of your scientists: that energy can indeed be transformed but cannot be destroyed. Only a few people draw the conclusion from this:
“If energy cannot be destroyed, then life—my life!—cannot be destroyed either. I will therefore live even when I have ‘died.’”
For many people this brings not only question upon question, but also fuels fears of the unknown that awaits them; especially when they grew up with false church teachings from which they have not yet been able to free themselves. This often leads them not to deal with the subject at all. And precisely this in turn has consequences that the person concerned, if he knew about them, would want to avoid under all circumstances.
Thus a “vicious circle” arises in the truest sense of the word; for fear causes the important and right answers not to be sought. And the absence of answers and the resulting ignorance cause the many wonderful opportunities for learning and maturing offered by life, which need to be addressed, not to be recognized and therefore not to be taken up.
Stagnation, standing still from a spiritual point of view, is in many cases the consequence. The darkness has won another small victory. For one lifetime—which, however, is less than the blink of an eye in eternity—it has made realization and development more difficult or prevented them. It is only a “stage victory” that will change nothing about the outcome of the conflict, but for the person concerned it can mean a smaller or greater detour, so that reaching the goal his soul so deeply desires is delayed a little.
The fact that life continues when the earthly eyes close could tempt one person or another to move past the subject too lightly and too quickly: “Nothing can really happen to me; after all, I am not truly dead. Many opportunities, many lives, are still waiting for me. So I can always start working on myself later.” This is an attitude that indeed testifies to a belief in continued life, but it is a superficial view that has not yet looked deeply or grasped the connections, including the effects on one’s own person.
At the end of your earthly journey you return your earthly body, which you no longer need, to the earth so that it may become dust again. But you are still there! Everything you were in your inner feelings, thinking, speaking and acting, everything you stored in your soul during the course of your life—you yourself shaped your soul and no one else—is still there. It was and remains energy that cannot be destroyed. That is you, only without the material covering, and now with a subtle-material body. You have then assumed another form of life, live in another world, experience a new reality—but you remain you. You have left behind the material garment of flesh and bone necessary for this incarnation; everything else—your being, your character—you have taken with you.
A new section of your eternal life has begun.
*
The new life waiting for you beyond the veils is not really so new to you, at least not to your soul. For Me there is in any case only you, which means: for Me you are and remain the one beloved being that came forth from My love, regardless of where you are at present, regardless of what form of life you carry at the moment, and regardless of what phase of your way back you are now passing through. You are incomparable, you are individual, you are freedom and love, and you are on your way home.
From an earthly point of view, you live now here, now there. You change sides. Seen from there, you leave for a while and then return; though not necessarily to the world that had meanwhile become familiar to you and which you voluntarily left for the duration of an earthly life. Where you are drawn when you again cross the threshold into subtle-material realms on the way back depends not merely largely but exclusively on you yourself.
In this you recognize My justice, which lets you experience nothing that you yourself have not placed into your soul; which, figuratively speaking, lets you move only into a house that you yourself built beforehand. It is your world that you have created for yourself; it is your new home on which you yourself have worked; they are your friends with whom you associated during your lifetime who await you there; they are the spirits you called and served who lay claim to you; but it is also your love that you encounter—the love you sowed.
If you believe My words and now recognize that it is important, where possible, to begin in good time to build the “new house,” then take—if you wish—a time of stillness to consider whether you have already begun preparing your new home. Or how far you have already come. In doing so you will encounter a phenomenon, perhaps in yourself as well:
Very few people set about concentrating on their new building; instead they do everything to keep their old house in good or excellent condition—that is, to make their present existence as comfortable and satisfying as possible—so that little or no time remains to think about the future life beyond. They do not take into account that at some point they will nevertheless have to leave their present house, into which they continually pour so much effort and expense, no matter how diligently and laboriously it has been built and expanded.
They know that this point in time will come, but either out of fear they suppress thinking about it; or because they lack satisfying answers they do not begin to deal with these questions at all; or they know about these things but cannot bring themselves to initiate the necessary steps of change; or they are so entangled in their daily lives, their work and the pursuit of consumption and distraction that no time remains for the decisive questions: “Where do I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going?”
With each of My revelations I remind My children that they are spiritual beings and that their present earthly stay is only temporary, one stage among several, only one rung on the ladder that leads to the heavens. And I now remind you again of the law that like attracts like. The conclusion follows by itself, but you can deepen it: At the next station of your eternal life you will find a house that you yourself have built and encounter circumstances that you yourself created at the present station of your eternal life!
For many of My children these will be living conditions in realms of light that cannot be compared with the heaviness of earthly life. Provided their soul-condition is not very shadowed, they will meet friends and helpers whom I place at their side to teach and guide them. There will be a reunion with their loved ones, and need, suffering and pain will for the time being—or forever—belong to the past.
Nevertheless, for all the lightness of their new life they will have to recognize that a more or less long stretch of road still lies before them, which they must travel before they can finally immerse themselves in My love-light. But they also experience the selfless guidance of their companions, who are with them to teach them what they did not learn, did not want to learn or could not learn in earthly life—for whatever reasons. My love and mercy do not withdraw merely because My child still has learning tasks before it.
But I also want to spare My children painful and tormenting experiences that ultimately do serve the good of the soul, but could have been avoided if one had begun building the new home during earthly life. This is by no means about having to renounce a happy and fulfilled life here and now in order not to have to go later in “sackcloth and ashes.” Not only are the two perfectly compatible; one conditions the other. In other words: whoever already builds here with Me for there, I help so that here too he has everything he needs. Here, as everywhere in creation, it applies: whoever serves the law, the law serves him.
Anyone who wishes can carry this line of thought farther. If the conditions for your life beyond arise from your present life, then the question almost forces itself upon you: “Is the foundation for my next life not also being laid at the same time, provided a further incarnation is appropriate?” In the beyond too, your new environment, it is only about learning, serving and thereby developing. Depending on how far your consciousness has already opened up, which learning tasks still have to be mastered, and which of the opportunities offered to you you can and wish to accept, your soul-development in the subtle-material worlds proceeds slowly or quickly. It may be that you decide on a new incarnation. Ideally your guardian angel plans your new earthly journey with you.
Then you “go into the flesh.” To everyone you are a new citizen of earth; what no one knows, including you, is that your soul already has a past, that it still carries “shadows” within it, but at the same time also the desire and will to learn in this life too in order to mature—for which you receive abundant opportunity. For the wheel of rebirth is not meant to turn endlessly. But as an “old” soul you bring quite a few things with you in your luggage. What will they be? Among other things, what could not be learned and dissolved there, or would have taken half an eternity; what in the previous life you did not want or were unable to work through successfully, and which you now receive from so-called fate as a new learning task.
Is not this thought alone worth beginning, already on this side, the important work on your home in the beyond?
*
When I spoke earlier of the importance of beginning the building of the new home in good time where possible, this does not mean that during earthly life there is any point at which a change of thinking and a turning back are no longer possible. The point is simply to recognize that long waiting or postponing makes the work—the inner work—more difficult. For changes in thinking and acting must be brought about. In carrying them out, that is, in your effort, I am indeed present, and I am the one who gives you the necessary power; I am the one who illuminates your spirit so that you recognize the steps ahead and make the necessary decisions. But I always depend on your yes. This is conditioned by your free will.
And it is easier to speak this yes if you have not yet been so strongly shaped by ideas, opinions and views, by teachings and convictions that over many years you have made your own or have had imposed upon you.
It cannot be avoided that in the course of your life you will be confronted with many doctrines and bodies of thought. Among them are ways of thinking and doctrines that bind you and thus make you unfree, especially when they are dogmatic and are not conveyed with selfless intent. They flow through the brain into your soul and often determine your faith and the behavior resulting from it.
In the worst case, when this has happened over many years and the recipient of such manipulation was open to it—consciously or unconsciously—it can amount to a kind of brainwashing, so that objective judgment of a matter, a situation or a teaching is no longer possible. Basically all people are manipulated to a greater or lesser degree, for a certain way of thinking and behaving has been taught to all of them, or they have adopted it themselves. This is, among other things, the risk of an incarnation: the danger of becoming bound into convictions that lie outside My commandment of love.
There is only one way to free oneself from this so far that the remaining traces no longer have a negative influence: to walk the path of love lived out, or to endeavor to do so with all one’s heart.
I brought this path to My human children as Jesus of Nazareth. My teaching was and is for all eternity: Love God, your Father, and your neighbor as yourself!
It is an instruction for life that could not be simpler. Everyone of good will can put it into practice. Everything added as decorative accessory around this central commandment and even declared by some church princes to be absolutely necessary for salvation is false teaching, distracts from the core of My message of love, springs from human minds and from the misleading ideas born of them.
If, as is common in your usage, you translate “religio” as “reconnection,” this fittingly describes the connection between Me and My creatures, therefore also between Me and you. Love is what connects us. Whoever endeavors to express love through his life and in his life thereby forges the bond between Creator and creature ever more closely. So if you need a guiding principle for your life, remember My word: love—and nothing else. In this way you fulfill My will; in this way you practice the only religion there is. Everything else, because added and altered by human hands in self-interest, is not religion but at best ideology.
*
Countless times I have enlightened you about the many tasks for realization that your everyday life offers you and that can be recognized with My help and mastered through your inner work. I therefore take only one aspect out of many here in order to let you look a little more deeply into My laws, but also to preserve you from an imprecise view of things and from possible conclusions that you might wrongly draw from it.
Whoever decides to walk the path of love at My hand is like an apprentice who wants to learn something but naturally does not yet master the craft. This is completely normal and is supported by Me in every respect. How could I look disparagingly on an action that is still imperfect simply because the one who is doing his best does not yet meet the later requirements of a journeyman or master?! Again, My sons and daughters, the logic of your heart is called for.
At this stage of your path to Me you are protected, you are carried by My love; much as a teacher does who does not take his eyes off his pupil during the hours in which the pupil is learning to swim. The goal, however, even if practicing is not always easy, is to learn to swim. The student freely said yes to this. He has decided, and a teacher who takes his student seriously will do everything to help him acquire this ability.
At the same time this means that the teacher will not indefinitely make his hand or arm available as help. After all, the point is for the student to learn something. The teacher can already do it. At some point he will withdraw the help, not to harm the student, but to bring him to the joyful realization of the abilities he has meanwhile acquired, or to help him toward the sobering clarity of what is still lacking. This is the learning principle that applies to good teachers. And it is My learning principle, the principle of the best teacher you could ever wish for!
As long as you are on the way to Me, you are enfolded in My protection to a far greater degree than you can imagine. But I step back a little when it is a matter of My child recognizing and learning something. That is love, My sons and daughters, even if one or another of you does not yet understand it. For My concern is that your soul learn something in the spirit of love, because in the end it is your purified soul that returns home and not the transient body.
I protect My own. And when in a situation requiring help you call upon Me, I never close My ears. Come to Me always and everywhere; flee beneath the protection of My mantle of love. But—and now comes the great “but”—do not take this promise as a reason to neglect your own development. Figuratively speaking, do not stop learning to swim merely because the teacher has promised to help you. He will do so where your own strength is not yet sufficient. But he will hold back where your own strength could have been developed, but this process was not truly undertaken or was continually postponed.
The consequence is that you are then confronted with what was intended as a learning task for this incarnation. If you have begun taking these steps at My hand, you will be astonished and pleased at what you already succeed in doing. It strengthens you for the next task to be mastered, the next step. In this way your soul-potential grows.
If you have not yet begun, if you were negligent, or if you have not looked correctly and deeply enough into your everyday life, its tasks and your reactions, then it can indeed be that the protection for which you ask does not become effective to the degree you imagine or desire. When this happens, but at the same time you are convinced that I make no mistake, then, if you are honest with yourselves, only one conclusion remains: At this or that point, work is still waiting for me.
I invite you to ask for My protection at any time! But I also ask you to consider that My commandment is not: Protect yourself from your enemies, but: Love your enemies; even if this does not succeed immediately, even if it is not always easy and sometimes must first be worked for with effort. I am at your side in this inner work.
If you set about putting this commandment into practice to the best of your ability, you are enfolded in the best protection there is. Against your love—it is My love that has developed within you—nothing negative has a chance. Then the light of your soul, developing under My guidance, protects you.
What nevertheless happens is provided for in the law. You will understand it when and because you have developed trust in My guidance; because you know that I am the great switch-setter who alone has the overview. Because I am the only one who loves you infinitely.
If you decide from today onward to build on your new house or to continue the building work already begun with greater intensity, then come to Me. Give Me your yes. Let us together dissolve your remaining fears, uncertainties, reservations and inertia.
The love of your heavenly Father, the greatest giver and servant of creation, awaits you.
Amen
