Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, My word of revelation today is as serious as your time; and yet it is carried exclusively by My love, even if one person or another among you does not immediately recognize this in its significance. But sooner or later the truth of My words will dawn within everyone; and when he finally allows the insights into his inner being and sets out to put what he has heard or read into practice, I will stand helpfully at his side.
You are glad and happy that in your regions there has been no war like the one that decades ago devastated whole cities and countries and cost millions of people their lives. This is undoubtedly attributable, among other things, to reasonable thinking, the terrible experiences that were made, and the desire for peaceful coexistence. And yet your peace stands, as you would say, on very shaky ground, even though the greater part of humanity does not want to admit it. Their behavior can be compared with the proverbial “dance on the volcano.” They let themselves be distracted and enjoy their diversions; in doing so they try, with only moderate success, to suppress what is already appearing on the horizon.
Truly, I tell you with all due seriousness: You are in the midst of war! By this I do not mean the countless skirmishes and conflicts being fought throughout the world, which—because you are not directly affected by them—touch you only at the margins. You are in the midst of a war that has lasted as long as humanity has existed. It is a war far more dangerous and waged more treacherously than anything you can imagine; and this because you do not perceive it! It is an invisible conflict that in your time is being increasingly fueled by the dark forces surrounding you.
The situation of almost all human beings is aptly described by the words: ignorant, unbelieving, helpless, and blind; and this also applies to many of those who are of good will but who, because of a lack of proper instruction and truthful enlightenment, lack the “spiritual equipment of the soul.”
The imperceptible realm from which influence enters your material existence is the true root cause of what takes place unlawfully and evilly in your world. Here lies the source of all evil that appears in your personal life and also in the increasingly difficult coexistence of peoples: it is the powers of darkness that try in every sphere to increase their influence. To what extent they have already succeeded is shown by a look at world events, provided that look is not shaped by fear and therefore taken only halfheartedly.
That the activity of darkness can proceed largely undisturbed—and from its perspective quite successfully—is due first and foremost to the fact that the existence of real negative forces is unknown. And not only that: their existence is widely denied, and therefore their direct influence upon human beings is dismissed as a product of imagination. People believe in angels, even though you do not know where they are and how they work; very few of you believe in destructive, ruinous forces—whether personified or as negative fields of energy. And yet they are there: immediate, ruthless, intense, swift in their activity, constantly at work, never abandoning their intention.
You defend yourselves against surveillance by your state authorities, and yet you do not know that you have long since been observed—by an adversary you cannot see and about whom you know only by hearsay.
Your ignorance of his methods is the great capital with which he works, for he naturally knows that one cannot arm and defend oneself against an opponent one does not know. Your portrayal of him and his followers in your films and computer games suits these forces very well, because on the one hand they are thereby not taken seriously, while on the other hand, nevertheless—or precisely for that reason—they can exercise their energetic influence upon people. And the kind of defense by which you believe you can defeat them—namely setting violence against violence or applying dubious esoteric techniques—does not frighten them, because such measures have no influence whatsoever on their activity. Love is the only means that can and will “defeat” them, so that, like everyone else, they too can begin the way home to the Father’s house; but you must not make the mistake of applying your concept of time as the standard.

My beloved children, do not regard My words as a frightening warning that one would therefore prefer not to hear. Whether you believe My words or not, whether you close your eyes and ears or not—this changes nothing about the danger that lurks everywhere and surrounds all people. It changes nothing about the intentions of My and your adversary to bring you down here and there, or to cause you to stagnate in your development of soul wherever he finds the opportunity. And he finds such opportunities in many forms wherever you simply live from day to day without looking honestly at yourselves and changing something.
My word can and will produce not anxiety but, on the contrary, relief and liberation when I tell you that there is indeed a protection—My protection—that causes the efforts of the opposing side to come to nothing. And not only that: it is a protection that allows you to become strong and stronger, under which you grow into your inner freedom and thus ultimately help make your world ever more filled with light. “Take Me,” as I once expressed it, “as the pilot aboard the ship of your life.”
The goal is set by My will, even if it will take a while longer before it is reached. It is: bringing home all creatures, including those who have fought against Me and against you! You too contribute to this fulfillment when you seriously “set out on the way.” You will then recognize that your seducers are themselves seduced; that they are and remain your brothers and sisters, no matter what dark path they have presently chosen; and that they were able to carry out their work only because you too still have shadows on your soul. These are the weaknesses that have not yet been transformed into strengths and therefore have repeatedly become points of entry. This has made and continues to make it possible for the opposing forces to influence you, insofar as you do not close and keep closed the doors and gates of your inner defenses.
Your lack of enlightenment, together with the suppression or false portrayal of the law of cause and effect and the lack of realization that the human being does not live only once, have made things easy for your opponent. Thus most of you have become, to a greater or lesser degree, playthings of negative forces. You often float like a nutshell on the foaming waves of your destiny, attribute the heights and depths of your life to chance circumstances, or in your lack of understanding, your sadness, or your anger accuse Me, provided that somewhere in a corner of your heart you still—somehow—believe in Me. Many of you are meanwhile noticing the great pile of broken pieces before which humanity stands. And now?
“Why, why?” resounds millions of times from desperate and insecure hearts that have no explanation for suffering, distress, apparent injustice, the decline of moral values, and the increase of selfish and barbaric behavior.
“Why,” I ask you, “do you find no answer to your questions?” Did I not say as Jesus of Nazareth that a person reaps what he sows? Do you not know of the law of causality, known even to your unbelieving scientists, which says that a cause always brings an effect in its wake, which then in turn creates new causes? With like causes producing like effects. Do you not know that guilt must be repented of and made good, for otherwise it remains? Do you not know that no energy is lost? That balance is restored only when perpetrator and victim, or debtor and creditor, have once again extended a hand to one another in reconciliation? It makes no difference whether the time at which the guilt was incurred lies ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand years or more in the past.
If all of this is new to you, then darkness has “done a thorough job” by preventing this knowledge from reaching you, or by keeping you so occupied and involved in your daily affairs that no time has remained for you to reflect on the truly important questions of life. If you do know it, then quite different questions arise …
Then it will also become clear to you that what you observe and recognize today in yourselves or others is always only the last link of an often long—sometimes very long—chain. The causes of why a situation appears as it does today were created in the past. At this last link you are attacked. The burdens of earlier links in your chain of existence, if they have been dissolved with My help, no longer represent a danger. Which at the same time means that what you take with you into the beyond and perhaps also into a new incarnation is what still remains at your transition into subtle worlds in the form of undissolved burdens, untransformed “links.” But what you give Me here and today for transformation will no longer burden you in the future. From that I have freed you.

The fact that your responsible politicians are forced to take ever new paths in order to guarantee the safety of the population—which has long since no longer been possible everywhere—should be sufficient indication for you to recognize the wrong development. In the long run you cannot introduce more and more controls, because this resembles a bottomless barrel. For the supply of destructive forces that threaten your outer security—and with it also your inner security—will not cease. On the contrary, it will be continued with vehemence and will increase further, because the source of which I spoke at the beginning is extremely active; for it is intent upon destruction, confusion, enslavement and, not least, obtaining energy, which it urgently needs in order to secure and expand its sphere of power. It could have been caused to dry up through a life in the spirit of love for God and neighbor, as I taught and lived it as Jesus of Nazareth. But that did not happen.
Having to keep something under control also means that there is something there which, without this control, would be incalculable in its conduct and could cause harm. This is so in great things and small, in politics as in your personal life. What you must keep “under control” merely shows you that there are still immature, unpredictable, and unattractive sides of your character present. It may often sound good when you speak of being able to control this or that quite well, but it also contains the indication: there is still something here that needs transformation.
Applied to what is happening in your world: Nothing works anymore without control! If every form of control were to disappear from one day to the next, it would immediately become obvious how torn and dangerous things look beneath the surface. But the truth would also come to light that the forces of evil and destruction have long since penetrated every area of your life. And that at present it is merely the use of means not grounded in My law that prevents—to use an image—your “self-brewed soup from boiling over.” In this way the devil is fought with Beelzebub until chaos can no longer be stopped.
Despite everything, from a higher perspective this development also contains something positive and cleansing: everywhere what has previously been well camouflaged will break forth; so well concealed that My children allowed themselves to be deceived, not least because other things were important to them and they were absorbed in their everyday concerns. What is still fermenting beneath the surface will be washed upward: within every individual, in families, in small and large communities, in peoples, worldviews, and ideologies. Darkness will finally betray itself and its intentions, insofar as this has not already happened.
Events have begun to take their course!
But with this it also becomes clear to those of My sons and daughters who recognize the signs of the times: it is becoming ever more urgent, ever more necessary, to give life a new direction, insofar as this was not already sought and initiated earlier. And that is why your time of upheaval at the same time contains an opportunity for all who seek comfort and help and are ready to change something in their lives. Everything you need in order to take this step you find in Me!

The manipulative influence upon those who are receptive to it is not an abstract process. And because this is so, I emphasize this point again and again. The opposing side proceeds with a sophistication and in such a multilayered and varied way that, unless you are very, very vigilant, in most cases you do not notice it, or notice it only very late. It is never too late to set a no against a whispering influence; but often long-practiced patterns of behavior have literally “dug themselves in” and thus become part of your nature, your character.
These do not always have to be seductions of a terrible kind. It is often enough for darkness if it can move you toward a certain kind of conduct that makes you unreceptive to insight, sluggish, or fearful. It is then difficult for you—especially when the corresponding thinking and behavior have been practiced for a long time—to get out of that track again; and this because you have difficulty recognizing, or no longer recognize at all, the associated influences that slow your development, and because your angle of vision has thereby narrowed, with the result that your consciousness has become restricted instead of expanding.
Thus you stagnate; you scarcely move anymore. Your gaze is no longer joyfully directed toward a goal worth striving for, toward a path your soul would so gladly walk. The opposing forces have thereby achieved their goal, at least a partial goal: your progress has for the time being been stopped.
The effects of the damage to nature, especially that of the last decades, which has been caused exclusively by human beings, likewise fall into the category of deliberate seduction. Unless catastrophes are involved, they affect the individual only indirectly; but over the long term they ensure that the human being deprives himself of his own living space, thereby comes into distress, and often enough loses his inner support. Increased controls or new laws remain ineffective because of the extent the damage has already assumed and will continue to assume.
Is it so difficult to recognize behind the human greed for exploitation forces that want to expand their sphere of rule? In doing so they accept a partial destruction of your planet because they are not fixated on matter but have their sights on human beings and their souls, whom they thereby bind to themselves—like slaves.
Although the immediate danger comes from beings who remain in the deep and deepest astral realms—for there lies the source of what is satanic—this is not the only path they take. It is, however, the one used most often because it makes direct influence upon one or more human beings possible.
Where this is not possible for them, or only with difficulty, they seek out people whom, because of their weakness of soul and character faults, they can cause to exert a correspondingly negative influence on others. This happens by these people—their vassals—sowing strife, stirring up discord, promoting envy and jealousy, reinforcing what is negative, preventing reconciliation, and much more. In this way they repeatedly set the wheel of cause and effect in motion and keep it constantly turning. Not infrequently they thereby cause the one they cannot reach directly eventually to repay with the same or a similar coin.
Another method, little known and in the rarest cases seen through, is to equip people who have turned toward the opposing side—not outwardly but inwardly—with special powers. Whoever possesses a certain knowledge, you would say “the corresponding know-how,” is then quite capable of influencing others in a way invisible to you, making them dependent, or harming them in body and soul. Since such things are generally just as unknown or regarded as unrealistic as the existence of evil, a warning about such a danger usually remains fruitless. Yet those who lend themselves to such actions will sooner or later betray themselves as well.
I never betray anyone! Nevertheless, you do not have to walk blindly and credulously into the many traps that have been set. Whoever, beyond the knowledge he has accumulated, honestly strives for a life of following Me, his senses become sharper and the sensors of his soul become active.
But truly, I will call all to account who have oppressed and seduced My weak but well-intentioned children and thereby harmed them. Yet I will not be their judge; they will sit in judgment over themselves. And they will be frightened, shudder, and tremble before their own deeds. But My mercy applies to them as well! For they too are My creatures, brought into life by Me out of love. Them too I will reintegrate into the infinitely great host of My children of light. Your task, if you wish, can be to help them through your prayer and your forgiveness.

I would not be the faithfully caring Father of My children if I left it at hints and warnings. Nor have I ever left you alone with your questions; My answers have only too quickly and too often been disregarded. It is true that I seek to enlighten you and draw your attention to danger points on your way home, but at the same time I also offer you solutions so that you do not look into the future with worried eyes and fall into a kind of “paralysis of the soul.” That would be very much in the interest of the adversary, who constantly spends much time and energy trying to keep you from looking forward, from looking toward what is positive, toward the way out, and toward My protection, which I want to give you.
But first let us look at why it is possible for negative forces at all to influence human beings in their own sense. Darkness too has free will. The spiritual law of attraction makes it possible for it to approach and intervene wherever it encounters a foundation of soul that is not firm; wherever it discovers human qualities that do not correspond to the commandment of love.
The condition of your soul, shaped by your wishing and willing, by what you do and fail to do, and by your habits and ideas, can be recognized by every being in the beyond. Depending on the abilities it has developed, it reads in it like a book you constantly carry open with you and before you. It should not frighten you, but make you vigilant and cautious, when I tell you that as a rule the opposing side knows you better than you know yourselves. This perhaps makes clear how important it is to explore and come to know yourselves.
“The self-knowledge of one’s own fallibility,” I said elsewhere, “is an important, though often painful process; that is why darkness does everything it can to prevent it.” I offer to guide you through this process and then, together with you, transform what you voluntarily give Me because you have recognized: this does not fit a child of God!
That is inner work.
What kinds of qualities can, through effort and observance of My commandment of love, be laid aside and transformed into what is positive—indeed, must be transformed before you can re-enter the glory of the heavens? Do not immediately and exclusively think of great sins that must be worked on, although these too belong here. Far more widespread are peculiarities and traits that are recognized as disturbing and in need of change only when examined more closely. If you are ready to look at this still largely unknown or unheeded side of your nature—including the “that’s-just-how-I-am” behavior—then I am the One who helps you. Then I am the One who gives you courage and protects you by measuring out your insights in such a way that you can work with them.
The adversary finds a weakened foundation where dissatisfaction and disorder are present, where space is given to negative inner feelings and thoughts and knowledge is accumulated without there being an intention, or at least a visible effort, actually to apply that knowledge—and not merely pro forma. Lack of humility, which can hide wonderfully so as not to be recognized as such, and false ambition are points of entry just as much as fanaticism, pride, feelings of inferiority and unworthiness; or displaying a self-confidence grounded in the ego rather than in the realization of being a powerful, radiant, free, and fearless child of God. Nor should we forget widespread dependence on persons and habits, which often has its root in comfort, calculation, and lack of courage for independence.
Even grief that goes beyond the “normal measure” and therefore has its cause predominantly in regret over loss is fed from the invisible realm, just as are constant hurry, know-it-all behavior, unforgivingness, and the refusal to look at oneself without reservations, and much, much more. Even when you cannot bring yourselves to follow one path consistently, but search and search and search; when you cannot decide how you now want to take hold of your life, forces lie in wait that take your indecision as an opportunity for their influence.
In the worst case, all this can lead to your no longer being yourselves and no longer being able to lead your lives through your own decisions.
My beloved sons and daughters, from these brief explanations alone you will have gained the impression that the subject is far too complex to be treated comprehensively. That was not My intention either.
I created free children who must grow into their spiritual responsibility, who are to explore the dimensions of their spiritual possibilities and learn to recognize them, and then decide and act accordingly. That is My desire and My will, and therefore I tell you: Take your life into your own hands; feel responsible for what you do and fail to do; do not leave the “ship of your life” to others; do not give the helm out of your hand—with one single exception: If you bring Me aboard—and I promise you: I come when you call Me—then leave the work to Me! Naturally I will ask you to contribute your part so that your ship moves in the new direction. But I will be the pilot. For those who have forgotten or do not yet know: I work without error!
My love accompanies you. And to those who are still a little fainthearted I say: “However close the forces of darkness may come to you, they will never be as close as I am. For I am the power, I am the love within you, within you, you, and you.”
Amen
