Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, it is so important that you become people who understand, people who act in personal responsibility through recognition of the connections, whose inner eyes are opened and who therefore can no longer be manipulated. For you are free children to whom I have given a great heart and, as its companion, a keen mind. My desire and will are that you develop both ever further and then use them as well.
My word of revelation is therefore intended, on the one hand, to remind you again and again who you are, why you entered the earth, where your goal lies, and how you can reach it most quickly and with a minimum of hardship—hence also the repetitions that are often necessary; and, on the other hand, through ever more extensive and deeper enlightenment, to help you see through how the opposing side works and to what extent it influences and controls people. Above all, however, My word serves to give you the necessary equipment with which you can free yourselves from the fetters that one person carries more heavily and another less so.
Again and again I have spoken of the fact that everything in My creation is evolution, that nothing arose or arises from one moment to the next “out of nothing.” Everything requires its process of development; this applies to the tiniest living being as well as to the mighty galaxy. And in this way, over a “period of time” that cannot be measured, the most beautiful, infinite realms of the heavens arose. Even though it is incomprehensible to you and also to many who have already entered the bright spheres: Creation has no end, and it has no “temporal” or “spatial” boundaries, neither in the microcosm nor the macrocosm, thus neither in the smallest nor the greatest.
In its glory and perfection it forms a mosaic beyond description in words: your eternal home.
Because of the Fall, many stones are now missing from this mosaic. That they will be put back is beyond question, for through My act of redemption as Jesus of Nazareth the destruction of the picture was stopped, and many of the little stones that once fell out have meanwhile already taken their places again.
You can transfer this image to material creation, and here especially to your earth. It too presents itself as a mosaic that has long since lost the beauty once its own. A harmonious whole, a varied splendor of colors, continual evolution through the interlocking of all processes as I intended, and therefore growth according to My laws, were and are not in the interest of the dark forces. The earth and the astral realms connected with it are their—temporary—sphere of dominion; here they rage to the extent that this is made possible through the people obedient to them. But it is not only their followers whom they use. They strengthen—or at least try to strengthen—in all people the negative patterns of behavior that you collectively call “the ego.”
From every conduct directed against the commandment of love they draw energy; and they use this to enlarge their earthly influence of power, to maintain or expand their realms in the worlds beyond, and at the same time to break one little mosaic stone after another out of your world. And this has happened for as long as human beings can remember, more strongly in the last centuries and with all their might during the last decades.
Look at your world and recognize how it presents itself today. No one who has meanwhile taken off his rose-colored glasses and strives for an honest view can avoid recognizing the devastating, progressive damage to the mosaic. No area has been left untouched in order to bring about a change—usually introduced gradually—with the aim of causing your system to collapse. Everywhere, that is without leaving out a single sector, darkness has begun its work and, slice by slice, propagated and introduced a new morality and ethics, “modern” thinking, and false freedom. Following the spirit of the age has become easier than upholding old values.
And with every change toward thinking and conduct that no longer corresponded to the principles of loving coexistence on the foundation of My laws, another little mosaic stone was broken out of the once harmonious picture. Now the first people are beginning to notice that the image has many dark places, which those responsible try to paint over.
Every one of you can be a “prophet” if by this you understand drawing the right conclusions from looking at the past and inferring from them what the future will bring. No clairvoyant or other gift is needed for this. In your Scripture you find the words that whoever sows wind will reap storm. Where, in politics, the economy, and the religions, are the leaders who possess enough wisdom to recognize the truth of this law and who have the will and summon the strength, through a change of thinking and direction, at least to soften the worst effects of the storm?
A large part of humanity all too often accepts an effect as something “willed by God,” and often enough it is also attributed to chance, arbitrariness, or injustice on My part. In every case, however, for them these are simply facts one has to live with, without reflecting on who, through what conduct, set the causes for them. In your personal life—including your earlier lives—you yourselves were the causes; in the coexistence—or rather confrontation—of peoples, it is the leaders to whom you gave the power for unlawful action.
Therefore use your reason, My sons and daughters, and consider whether provisional painting-over and even the most cleverly designed diversionary maneuvers can prevent the effects of what has been done. If you come to the view that this cannot be the solution—then what is?
The law of sowing and reaping knows the principle of causation, which means that damage caused must be repaired by the one responsible for causing it. In theory—and in the long term naturally also in practice—this means: Every mosaic stone broken out must be put back; otherwise the picture remains imperfect. Every disorder must be removed again, every disharmony transformed, every ugliness replaced by beauty, and every dishonesty by honesty. And this in all areas: in nature, in the coexistence of peoples and states, in politics, religions, and so forth. Only then are the causes that were set removed from the world.
So much for the theory. Can it be put into practice in your world? And by those who have come to insight about their wrong conduct and now begin to make everything good again? I deliberately leave the answer to this question to you so that you recognize what has happened and no longer close your eyes to the effects that will flow from it.
But the honest answer should not frighten you; it should only sharpen your view of reality. And it should help you turn inward, remember My power within you, make use of it, and thus not leave your destiny to the uncertainties of a life determined by cause and effect, but instead take it into your own hands as the maker of your own happiness.

I want to direct your attention to another, further aspect that I have already brought close to you once before; one that is important for building confidence free of doubt, deep trust, and that is indispensable for the inner calm most of you desire.
Grounded in the knowledge that I make no mistakes and that everything I do and allow rests upon My love, everything—even when it appears incomprehensible to you—must have meaning and must ultimately lead to everything being brought back into unity, to all “lost sons and daughters” returning home. It is one thing merely to believe this because I tell it to you; it is another to recognize and internalize how the return home takes place, how the individual links in the plan of bringing all back fit together seamlessly. They must fit together because every step taken by both the individual and humanity as a whole forms the foundation for the next step. And even when in your eyes the next step appears to lead still farther into the abyss, it is nevertheless necessary to foster recognition of one’s own wrong conduct—whereby the downward movement is stopped and transformed into an upward movement.
I do not lose what I created in love, and I have the will and omnipotence to bring everyone and everything back into perfection. To understand this, imagine a spiral whose beginning and end are anchored in the heavens and which in this way forms a great circle. Everything that has left the heavens is—with its very first step outward, without knowing it and perhaps without wanting it—already on the way home again, for the great or small circle along which the soul travels outside the heavens ends again where it began: in the light!
This is something the fallen angels did not know or did not take into account; it applies in equal measure to ignorant humanity. Because no being can exist outside My creation—there is not a single point outside it; everything is in Me—it always remains within creation. It is always within a circular path that with absolute certainty brings it back to Me! When this will be is another question and is conditioned by the creature’s free will. But that it will be so is established in My law.
If it were otherwise, there would be a power stronger than Mine, one capable of overturning My will simply by opposing it. But My will shall bring everything, without exception, back into unity.
A thought for your theologians, who ascribe omnipotence to Me yet at the same time consider it possible for this omnipotence to be defeated by a small, defiant human “No, God, I do not want to”—and for Me thereby to lose My child forever to darkness … Through this body of thought, which they still prescribe as binding belief, they have plunged and continue to plunge countless people into a dilemma of the soul.
You too, My beloved child, will therefore return to Me! Your heavenly Father tells you this.
Because everything is evolution, bringing all home does not take place from one day to the next either. For it presupposes recognition of guilt and the decision to make amends. In the phase of rebellion against Me and rejection of My love and guidance, it will happen that entire groups as well as individuals are confronted with the effects of causes previously set—not as punishment by Me, but as the consequence of earlier actions, as educational help toward awakening. This then expresses itself in suffering, worries, distress, fears, catastrophes, and much more, and it can lead to an intensification of the downward movement in the spiral. At some point, however, recognition and turning back will occur, and the next step already goes in the direction of “light and heaven,” even if this is not immediately recognized as ascent.
If insight has not yet been gained and turning back not yet initiated, then the question does not arise whether the movement in the spiral is already upward again or still downward. Bear this in mind when you speculate about the future. But do not seek answers that contain a date, not even an approximate one. For one thing, you will not receive a serious answer; for another, the time is not what matters. What matters first and foremost is what inner development you have undergone, whether you have merely accumulated knowledge or have also put this knowledge into practice and are therefore “up to date.”
Therefore ask instead how I can foster your inner growth, how the radiance of your soul can be raised still further, and what you still need to recognize and put into practice in order to take the next step or steps on your way to Me; at the same time My protection will thereby be strengthened.
I gladly give you answers to these questions. I gave them to you—as the commandment of love for God and neighbor—as a fundamental law through Jesus of Nazareth, and for centuries, and increasingly during recent decades, I have given them in detail through many of My faithful male and female disciples.

If you acknowledge the correctness of My words, then you also understand why every step—even when it seems senseless, incomprehensible, and often unjust—must be: because it serves as the basis for the next step!
Somewhere in this loop is every one of you. Everyone takes the steps corresponding to his consciousness. It cannot be otherwise because no one can act against his consciousness. If he apparently does so because others persuade or command him to do something, this only says something about his present, actual consciousness, in which personal responsibility, freedom, and independence have not yet been sufficiently developed.
Every step a human being or soul takes is used by Me to prepare—building upon it—the next step. Whether it is small or large does not matter. In every case it will be the next step, not the one after that, for I overburden no one! I offer, I set the switches, I provide the appropriate help; but I always build upon what My child can already do, what he is willing and able to do, and what he undertook for this incarnation. I know the degree of maturity of every soul, its possibilities and abilities. For Me it makes no difference how a child presents himself. That is why My love is unconditional, toward you too, My child. Nor can I be deceived and therefore cannot be disappointed—in contrast to you.
Now imagine a situation in which you are finally beginning to move from your downward movement into a more stable upward movement long desired, after previously there had been repeated ups and downs, as on a roller coaster. Many small and large events in the past, which also includes your previous lives, may have contributed to the change. And I was the One who—in the background and unnoticed by you—provided the impulses and brought about the opportunities. Something is now stirring within you; it need not be anything spectacular. It may be the first thoughts of wanting to do something differently at one point or another than before. Perhaps you do not notice it yourselves at all, because no conscious decision underlay it; rather, the new conduct has, so to speak, “slipped in through the back door.”
If I now tell you that in such a phase you are in the process of separating yourselves from old habits and leaving well-worn tracks, that through even the smallest changes you have begun to put My commandment of love into practice in your lives—would that not be a reason for joy?
Truly, heaven rejoices and increases its support, hoping that your efforts will not be hindered or undone again by forces—first and foremost by fellow human beings—who do not yet recognize what the seemingly insignificant steps mean for you and for your inner work of building; who too quickly judge disparagingly because, in a false assessment of their own spiritual level, they apply their own standards and do not recognize the importance of even the smallest effort on your part. For they know nothing of the development of your soul, of the help you need, and they do not understand that this, your new step, serves to prepare the next.
Now change one small thing in the image I have given you:
The person I spoke of represents not you but your neighbor, who acts according to his consciousness—he too cannot do otherwise—and on and within whose soul I “work” in order to help him. And truly, I tell you, every human being and every soul, without exception, needs My help; and the law of sowing and reaping in the broadest sense also represents a form of help. Your assistance and understanding are often needed as well; yet how quickly the overwhelming majority of you apply your own measuring rod to the way and conduct of your neighbor!
Whoever has decided to walk his path at My hand will gradually cease condemning everything that happens around him and in the world. He will stop immediately classifying everything and everyone as good or evil; for not only does he not know the background and violate My law by condemning, it is also not his right. It is no one’s right. This does not mean having to close one’s eyes and ears. But the “art” to be learned consists in seeing, hearing—and nevertheless loving.
And even when things in the world or with your neighbor obviously continue downward, this is no reason to behave in a condemning, reproachful, or accusatory way. Be vigilant and try to see an event that catches your eye, or a person whose conduct displeases you, from the perspective I have just described.
To ask, “Why does he or she not act differently?” or “Why is he or she still like that?” automatically calls forth the counter-question: “What business is that of yours?” And if in such moments you were completely still, you might receive a second question: “And why is your consciousness not further developed yet?” For measured against what you were and will be again, there is still much to do …
In the next phase of your soul-growth you will act differently. You will no longer expect anything; you will see and bless and try to be an example. And if you allow yourselves to be guided by Me, the question will arise within you as well: “How can I help?” Then you begin to see the greater whole. Then you recognize yourselves as one of countless beings—points of light—in an immeasurably vast network, all equally loved, all connected with one another, and whose true happiness will be complete only when unity is restored.

I do not impart knowledge to you merely for knowledge’s sake. If you are wise, you take what has been revealed to you today and incorporate it into your previous insights, worldviews, ideas, and reflections. Open your hearts and eyes and perceive the seriousness in My words, but also the love vibrating within them. Never is it My purpose to arouse fears or worries. If such or similar feelings nevertheless rise within you, then be ready to look there as well.
What will you discover? That it will help you hold My hand—figuratively speaking—even more firmly than in the past. This means: to remind yourselves again and again of the love that I am within you. Above all, however, to set about working together with this power of love even more strongly than before.
Much in the way of false teaching has flowed through the opposing forces during the last two thousand years into the world and therefore into human thinking. They have thereby brought infinite suffering upon those who blindly followed their religious ideas and rules. One of their greatest “successes”—from their perspective—was keeping people ignorant of the fact that I am the power within the human being, so that people sought and still seek a God in the infinite expanses of heaven, where they suppose Me to be a distant, incomprehensible, abstract being to whom one may indeed pray, but whom otherwise one cannot integrate directly and at any time into one’s own life. What do you think your world would look like today if the many, many people of good will who merely wait for guidance that is wise and loving had begun knowingly to include Me, as the strongest power, in their everyday lives?
Raising oneself above one’s neighbor is so commonplace and widespread that it is scarcely noticed anymore. And yet it is a fatal wrong attitude that brings incalculable and serious consequences. For it separates, it judges, it strokes the ego, it places one’s own thinking at the center, and thereby causes common ground to be destroyed and the mosaic to receive ugly spots.
Every one of you can contribute, within himself and his surroundings, to at least his own little mosaic, for which he is responsible, gradually shining again in its former splendor; to the fallen-out stones being put back. I have shown you one of many paths: make use of My power of love, recognize the connections, and then stop all disparaging thoughts and actions.
Such new conduct makes you free, which can be felt inwardly and recognized outwardly. You thereby set off a positive chain reaction that radiates outward, touching and seizing other people and souls. In this way you fulfill an important point of My commandment of love, namely the aspect concerning your neighbor. And, My beloved, in this way you loosen many of the fetters that still bind you and keep you treading water.
Who would not want the loosening of his fetters, which is like liberation from an invisible prison, if he has entrusted himself to Me and My guidance?
Let the new year ahead become a year of new beginnings. Take the energy that now flows increasingly and more strongly during the days of Christmas in order to make and initiate decisions; for precisely this time is especially suited to strengthening and bringing forth what is good. And regard My words for what they are: another key, handed to you out of love to open the gate of your prison so that you may become the maker of your own happiness.
Amen
