Divine Revelation
My sons and daughters, the fundamental principle on which My creation is built is love, because I Myself am all-embracing love! I emphasize this again and again because some find it difficult always to recognize in My words of revelation the love they imagine as divine fatherly, motherly, or brotherly love. This is especially so when it is necessary to speak to you with the seriousness that the situation requires.
It is not to everyone’s liking to be warned now and then about the dangers that lurk in great number along your path of incarnation, often very well hidden, waiting to make life difficult for you. But precisely then, and for that very reason, there is an increased need to make you more aware through explanation and guidance, because the intention still exists to harm you in the short or long term – even across several incarnations. The efforts that are bearing their harmful fruit are reaching a preliminary peak in your time.
My love has been yours from the first moment of your existence and will remain so for all time, without restriction and without interruption, regardless of what you do, where you are at present, or whether you like Me or not. My longing, My will, and My possibilities will bring you back to Me, and it makes no difference whether your journey home is short or long. You determine its duration yourself. But the destination is unshakably fixed: it is your eternal, true home with Me. It is the “state” of unimaginable, boundless bliss; it is your inheritance that awaits you, and which you enter into when you have found your way home again.
Everything that has come your way since you left the heavens and, as a soul, have been traveling outside your home serves one purpose alone: to make you reflect and to help you arrive at realization and a conscious decision. In this way the conditions are created for you to attain the necessary maturity of soul, either in other, more subtle realms or on earth. Since your life is endless, one earthly life is no more than the blink of an eye in eternity, even if it seems otherwise to you; not least because you were taught otherwise and may have accepted that belief without examining it.
You spend an incomparably longer time in worlds beyond, in a non-material state. On the basis of considerations and decisions that I have already discussed on several occasions, a soul incarnates. This means that it seeks a human body that serves it for a certain period as a “vehicle” through which it can gain experience on earth. As a rule, incarnations are prepared together with your guardian angel, who guides you during your earthly life in accordance with your own positive intentions.
The soul therefore leaves its home beyond because it wants to learn something that is easier for it to learn on earth. In a sense, it goes to school. But there are also many other, mostly selfish reasons, which have already been examined repeatedly. Their aim is almost never the soul’s development, but rather the experiencing and acting out of desires, passions, and drives. The soul – or the human being in whom it lives – will find these possibilities too. Even if the human being does not know this, much less want it, they too always serve as schooling for the soul, though often under more difficult conditions.
Since no soul incarnates “fresh as a rose,” this means that all bring with them burdens of greater or lesser extent, in a few cases even burdens voluntarily assumed (1). These do not consist only of faults or weaknesses that now have to be overcome, but – something scarcely known or often not considered – also of views, beliefs, and worldviews. They are part of the opinions and convictions acquired in earlier lives and still lie dormant, unrecognized by everyone, in the depths of the human soul. They too must sooner or later be overcome within the framework of this “schooling” if they do not correspond to My commandment of love: “love – and nothing else.”
Anyone surprised by this, or who finds it difficult to believe, should remember that a soul takes with it into the world beyond everything it carries within itself at the time of the body’s death. “As the tree falls, so it lies” is a fact known among those who understand. The possibilities for change are not ideal for a soul in the subtle worlds, where it lives among its own kind. In order to develop more quickly, it therefore normally decides on an incarnation. Into its new life it brings what quite obviously needs to be laid aside or transformed in its behavior, as well as its basic attitudes and parts of its character from earlier lives. This later expresses itself, among other things, in what it does, in its interests, wishes, intentions, and goals.
That is a brief summary of the stages in a soul’s development, about which I have already given you much explanation. What has been said is intended to serve as the basis for the considerations that follow, in which your logic of the heart is called for.
*
One of the most successful moves from the point of view of the forces of darkness, alongside the false presentation of the law of sowing and reaping, was the firm establishment of the false idea of hell and the devil. The Fall, or the fall of the angels, is the pivotal point for understanding the events on your earth that are coming to an ever more dramatic head.
I therefore return to this point again and again because it matters to Me that you mature into sons and daughters who think independently. For this reason I base My words of revelation today on the missing knowledge concerning the consequences of the falling away of a portion of the angels, an event mentioned in your Scriptures in only a few places. It was the event, an occurrence of immense magnitude, that first led to the formation of extra-heavenly, subtle realms and finally – after periods of time that cannot be named – to the emergence of matter. Your dwelling place, earth, would not exist without the Fall, and neither, of course, would the life that has developed in the earthly realm in its many different forms, including human life. You yourselves would not be where you are as human beings, because you would never have left the heavens.
That is one aspect; the other is the false teaching of a realm said to have arisen outside My creation, called “hell,” which is supposed to be the eternal place of banishment for the fallen beings and all their followers and enslaved ones. Most of your scholars of Scripture and theologians do not deny the possibility of some kind of influence by the forces of darkness leading human beings into sinful behavior; but the constant, immediate presence of the opposing forces is not known.
Or it is denied, just as the fact is denied that these forces need human beings and make use of them in order to act successfully on your earth. They can only ever achieve something indirectly. This means that they act through people whom they induce to put into practice the ideas and “promptings” directed against My law.
Because there is no willingness to question things, the decline that has meanwhile affected every area is, if acknowledged at all, attributed merely to the ruthlessness and selfishness of people intent on their own advantage. This applies just as much to the destruction of your living environment as to the distortion of My teaching of love; it applies to everything directed against My commandment of love.
The true “men and women behind the scenes,” the real string-pullers who direct their earthly vassals from the invisible realm, cannot be recognized as the originators. That is their strength – for now.
Human beings are therefore unaware that the opposing forces, which have never given up their struggle against Me, deliberately seek insecurity, fear, chaos, and destruction to an ever greater degree. In doing so they do not merely accept illness, suffering, hardship, and death among human beings as collateral consequences; from the beginning it has been among their aims to harm My human children physically and in soul in this way and bind them to themselves, so as then to live on their negative energy – even after the souls have passed into the world beyond and enter the astral realms where satanic forces hold sway.
From many of My revelations you know that the negative beings possess powers against which human willing and action are no match (2). The fact that you nevertheless do not feel threatened or seduced has to do with the sophistication of the “salami tactics” your adversary employs. Yet amid all the beauty you encounter on earth, do not forget that by incarnating you entered the domain of the forces of darkness.
And not only that: figuratively speaking, you are right in the middle of a “lion’s cage,” and your seducer does everything possible to keep you from sensing this. Often it is enough for him merely to prevent you from making progress in the sense of My commandment of love. Then he has already achieved his goal, unlike you, who had intended to take a small or large step in development during your incarnation.
A picture may serve you as a comparison:
You have booked an hour with an adviser, trainer, or teacher because you want to learn or experience something. The person sitting opposite you is so fascinating, and the conversations you begin immediately after greeting one another are so interesting, that the time flies by and you notice too late that you never get to the actual reason for your visit. But by then the hour is already over.
Because the great majority of people go through life blind – and even those who believe in Me are not immune to this “illness” – they have become a plaything that darkness can push back and forth at will, deceive, seduce, and manipulate. Ignorance of satanic intentions and methods plays directly into its hands.
*
The result of striving to live love in everyday life is not only that burdens on the soul are released, that inner freedom arises, and that character changes. Consciousness too becomes different; it “expands,” and the person begins to question many things and to look and listen more closely. This too is something the forces of darkness want to prevent. Yet it is an important part of the developmental process of your soul, which wants to “grow up.”
I gave you help upon help as Jesus of Nazareth, in the centuries that followed through prophets, and with increased intensity in recent decades through those faithful to Me. You will have noticed that although I go into detail when it comes to understanding the necessary steps toward self-knowledge and then undertaking the solution, I have never interfered in your decision by giving you a direct answer. There are two reasons for this: first, because I respect your free will; and second, because it is part of your learning tasks to work out the right answers for yourselves so that you can go through your lives independently and with personal responsibility.
Many of My commandments or explanations should therefore be seen as a kind of “heading,” whose underlying content opens up to you as you apply the standards contained in My law of love. For example, I commanded you, “Love your enemies,” but I did not tell you specifically who your enemies are, much less point a finger at them. I betray no one!
It is therefore up to you, on the basis of My many indications, to recognize – without judging – who is well disposed toward you and who is not; who wants to help you and who wants to harm you. This is not always easy, for the deceptions are often superbly staged, and the masks worn by human seducers still fit perfectly – for now.
From My words you can see that sooner or later you must always decide for or against something. When one day you look back and consider the path you have taken in order to find your way home again, you will see that you constantly had to make decisions. Had you avoided doing so, there would have been no homecoming. Were there wrong decisions? No, because eventually you learned from them and then took another path, one you would not immediately have taken without your “wrong” considerations. There were, however, decisions that prolonged your way home and brought you worry and suffering. They were the consequences of your own will, which, because you often did not understand the connections, you blamed on Me. Why, then, should I be angry or even wrathful over a pain that you inflicted not on Me but on yourself?
Try for once to look at today’s world situation from a higher perspective, from the perspective of the angel you once were and will be again. Do you think you would be unable to recognize and decide what is right and what is wrong? You do not need omniscience for that. Would you shrug your shoulders and remain neutral, which would mean: I have not yet decided whether what I see is good or bad in the sense of love?
Here the logic of the heart can be a valuable helper. It ensures that your understanding becomes clearer and clearer.
The sooner you succeed in seeing through the game being played on your earth and forming an opinion, the greater the chance that you will not be drawn into the chaos, the many inconsistencies and lies. At the same time, however, this often means having to accept inconvenience and disadvantages, or relinquish privileges that can be enjoyed by those who do not concern themselves with the inconsistencies they encounter.
But this, My beloved sons and daughters, has never been otherwise. Think only of the persecutions that for 2,000 years have taken place everywhere against those who decided to follow in My footsteps. They have been and are humiliated and attacked by human beings, but the string-pullers behind them are the opposing forces, which have succeeded in causing people with a corresponding condition of soul to place their power and possibilities at the service of the opposing side.
And even if it is still difficult for you to see it this way: those who have been seduced are also your brothers and sisters, with whom you will one day be with Me again. For now, however, they do not know that they are subject to the law of sowing and reaping in which they have become entangled. They do not know it, or they believe in it no more than they believe in Me and thus in an authority that gave them life, sustains them, and waits for them. Yet for them too, as you know from the parable of the prodigal son, the day of realization, remorse, and turning back will come.
Until that happens, however, they are – without realizing it – merely executing servants of a dark power that is no longer interested in them once they have set the desired changes in motion and contributed to the decline.
*
With your incarnation you entered the training planet earth. I therefore take the opportunity to give you a small task and in doing so remind you of a “technique” that can help you see through the methods of the opposing side.
This is certainly not always easy, because the machinery of control, for which you have coined the word “propaganda,” has been perfected more and more over many decades. There is scarcely a worldly leader who has not made, or does not make, use of this powerful tool for shaping opinion. False and true news and information are deliberately thrown into the same pot. Then, because transparency is lacking, it becomes easy to label everything a conspiracy and thus push those who sense or have recognized the truth among many untruths into the corner reserved for fantasists. And the forces of darkness feel themselves the winner, neither for the first nor the last time.
Anyone who has not acquired or preserved a deeper way of looking and listening here, and who does not work with the logic of the heart, can very quickly become a victim of these campaigns of concealment and confusion.
“But let your speech be: Yes, yes; no, no. Whatever is more than these is of evil …” (3).
If you believe My words that there is a very real, destructive force, that this force has unimaginable means and methods at its disposal, that it is not “somewhere in hell” but in the midst of your everyday life and therefore right among human beings, and that its aim is to harm you and, if possible, destroy you, then ask yourselves – you are under My protection as you do so! – what its method might look like in order to achieve this goal.
How would you approach such a task? The time of seducing or manipulating individual people or even groups has indeed brought success, but now the “really big cleanup” is on the agenda. If you want to achieve something on a large scale, you must operate worldwide. What conditions have to be in place? Would it help you to manipulate people who have no influence, no power, and no financial means? People who therefore cannot spread among the population the ideas implanted in them? Does it make sense to include in the plan the nurse who lovingly cares for her patients? Or the mother who, under difficult circumstances, selflessly raises her children? Or the forestry worker whose love is devoted to nature and its preservation? Or the farm laborer who can barely feed his family?
I will pause briefly to give you an opportunity to reflect on My questions. Of course you are free not to do so. That would change nothing in My love for you. But perhaps you will use this moment to practice what I present to you as the logic of the heart.
- – – a short time of silence – – –
If you have arrived at the answer that it could not work in this way, but that a promising approach would have to be on an entirely different scale, then you are coming very close to the truth. I am not giving too much away when I say: if it is not the “little man,” then it must be people who, because of their position and influence, are able to put into practice what is suggested to them – often without their being aware of it.
Or do you relegate such considerations to the realm of fantasy? Then I remind you of those who at all times have instigated wars and were the outward originators of hardship, suffering, and death on a scale of millions. What drove them was, and still is, the same force that caused the Fall and has not given up its struggle. At all times it has sent its “representatives” onto the playing field of earth; and even when they were not always its immediate “emissaries,” it repeatedly found men and women with a corresponding disposition of soul and character whom it could use for its purposes.
What do you think their souls were offered so that the human being – soul and human being form a unity! – would behave according to their wishes? Wealth? Beauty? Pleasures of every kind? It was power that they were promised and given for a few years or decades. And resisting this temptation is not easy, especially when one has otherwise attained much, or already everything, that is possible on earth.
Power has something fascinatingly seductive about it for many people. It is exercised on every level, in small things and large, and can even be found in the smallest cell: marriage, partnership, and family. It becomes extremely dangerous for the majority of humanity when it is practiced on a large scale, which always ends in abuse, no matter how selfless its exercise may be portrayed as being.
Exercising power over others never corresponds to My law of selfless love, because this leaves every person absolute freedom. Working with power in order to achieve one’s own goals therefore always represents the opposite of what I taught as Jesus. It is the counterpart of serving humility and always leaves damage both in the souls of those who wield power and in those who are oppressed and manipulated.
Anyone who takes My name upon his lips should also remember what I said, among other things, about the meek, the merciful, and the peacemakers … (4).
*
My next question to you, followed once again by a short pause: If the dark side positions its players, and heaven, which has the overview, knows of this intention and its execution – how will heaven behave, how will I behave?
- – – – –
Do you think Me capable of simply looking away and remaining inactive when and because I know what is being prepared and intended? If not, then the conclusion can only be: heaven too has sent its messengers, and not only in the past, in earlier centuries! Now, in your difficult time, countless of My sons and daughters have incarnated in order to strengthen the side of light. They come both from the pure heavens and from the countless extra-heavenly realms in which My divine light already shines. If you wish, sense inwardly whether you too may be among those who have come forward to stand up to darkness, deceit, and lies.
But many souls from the astral realms have also decided to use the opportunities of this incarnation for their further development. They observed, examined, and then decided. Through their openness and their efforts, they now enlarge the great host of those who form the counterforce to darkness. All who have incarnated with these intentions know that the task is to overcome what is contrary through love, not through cunning, deceit, or violence. They too still have their faults and weaknesses, but they have perceived the call of love within themselves. And for that reason they have decided to take their place at My side.
Because the time ahead will not be easy for you and your descendants, inner work is so important. Remind yourselves again and again that in all your striving you are never alone. Come to Me, take refuge in My arms when you sense that you are being tempted to fall out of your inner peace. And never forget that despite all the obvious distress, in the end it is still an unequal struggle, because only love can win; for there is no greater power and no stronger force. Even if it will take eons until then.
What will happen to the defeated ones who finally realize that they acted wrongly? They will be built up again through My love and through the love of their brothers and sisters, the wounds of their souls will be healed, and then they too will return to the bosom of the great family of God.
My beloved sons and daughters, some of you will have difficulty with My revelation; not least because you would have to revise the views and beliefs mentioned at the beginning if you wished to acknowledge the truth in My words. Everyone is free to prefer following his own ideas. But you can maintain your views only if you exclude from your considerations the Fall and its consequences as I have described them to you.
If, however, you recognize the correctness of what has been said, connections that were previously hidden from you will open up. Much will then be explained, and you will also view many things differently in the future. Above all, your vigilance will then be sharpened because you learn to look behind the masks. What you recognize should not cause you worry or unrest, but should allow a sense of safety to arise within you, because you now know how to defend yourselves against being used as an ignorant and fearful “plaything.”
Each of you carries My power within. Therefore do not stare helplessly like “a rabbit at a snake.” You are powerful children of My love, full of strength, who – even if you may not yet be aware of it – carry within you the desire to express what is good more strongly in the coming time and thereby to be a light of comfort to many.
Amen
