Divine Revelation

My beloved sons and daughters, your well-being and misfortune stand or fall with your recognition of spiritual laws; and not only with recognizing them but—more importantly—with including them in your life, your everyday life, your behavior, and your dealings with your neighbor.

Many people who believe they believe in Me actually have only a very limited conception of Me and therefore of My love. It goes without saying that no consciousness—not even that of the “greatest” angel, and certainly no human consciousness—can penetrate My depths. Nevertheless, it must be possible for you to attribute to Me, without the slightest reservation, reason, logic, and freedom from error; which does not at the same time mean that a human being is able immediately to classify as good and right everything that happens to him personally and in the world.

But to accept a belief in Me as selfless and unconditional love and as the unsurpassable power in My creation, while nevertheless being of the opinion that something could happen outside My will, cannot be called “faith.” To think this way nevertheless amounts to imagining that something happens outside My love! Following this thought through to its conclusion would mean that the fate of My creatures is indifferent to Me; that I do not have everything under control, and that another power had succeeded in causing Me to abandon My eternal principles and act against My own laws …

Is that conceivable? Would My creation then still exist …?

But because it still exists—and will for and throughout all eternities—it must be unequivocally clear to all those for whom I am not their God merely on paper that I never suspend My laws. If there were ever such a necessity, they and I as their Author would not be perfect.

Is that conceivable? Would My creation then still exist …?

Now use the logic of the heart: If and because My laws always and eternally apply, they also apply when and where you bind your own thinking through your faint faith or unbelief, through your ignorance or unwillingness. If it should still be difficult for you to follow these reflections, then from that alone you can recognize that your faith has not yet reached the depth your soul desires; and that at such points the temptation lurks to stop thinking further, or thinking something through to the end, “just to be safe.” For such thinking might lead you to have to part with old patterns of belief.

In exchange, however, you would arrive at the increasingly rock-solid conviction that My infinite love is quite different, far more comprehensive and diverse, than you have believed and experienced until now. And that it is absolutely free of contradiction within itself, and that your uncertainty and hesitation are caused not least by your ignorance.

You cannot overestimate the gain and the consequences that result from this for you. For they would—no, they will, if you become serious about it—free you from your fears and worries and help you attain a trust in Me and My guidance that you did not know before.

Once you not only sense My care and justice, without which My fatherly-motherly love is inconceivable, but experience them in yourselves, it is no great step to entrust your life to Me to a greater degree than before. Then, through turning toward Me, you are ready for surrender to love. Then there is also no longer any question whether you can pray from and with the heart: “Your will be done in me.”

You will not only be able to do so; it will become a need within you. For you will feel, and subsequently experience, that there is nothing safer than entrusting yourself to My will—and thereby finding your way to the “heart of creation.”

*

In your difficult time, in which the world is beginning to change, it is more necessary than ever to find an inner support and make it a place within you that gives you the necessary calm and composure. This requires, on the one hand, well-founded trust, but on the other hand also the unshakable certainty that surrender to what for many is still an “abstract, largely unknown divine power” truly makes sense. And not only that: that it represents rescue, the only solution that enables you to survive without subsequent suffering, without grief, self-reproach, fears, sadness, and much more.

The word “subsequent” already indicates what I am getting at:

It is not enough to regard the few decades of your present earthly life as everything—perhaps as the most important thing of all—and to see how you can “get by” reasonably well. It is indeed the most important thing at the moment, because your present thinking and actions determine your future thinking and actions; and not only with regard to life in the beyond, which will immediately follow this life, but also with regard to the portion of life still ahead of you in this incarnation.

And yet it is about much more!

In order to grasp this, to gain the necessary insights and above all to make the required decisions that follow from them, you must learn to broaden your gaze and your consciousness. Most of My human children go through life, figuratively speaking, with heads bowed, staring at the ground and looking only at the few yards directly in front of their feet.

That, My beloved, is unworthy of you. You are children of heaven who surpass in strength, power, and beauty everything you can imagine. I cannot remind you often enough of the spiritual greatness that lies within you and therefore of the goal toward which you have been moving since you left your true home with Me. The reasons why this happened do not matter.

The lessons, the challenges, that meet you here are in principle the same for all people: The ego with its countless facets must be reduced, and love for Me, for your neighbor, and for yourselves must—because it still lies buried beneath the refuse of human weaknesses—be uncovered again. The tasks differ only because of the burdens from the past that you bring with you and because of what you may have undertaken for this incarnation.

How intensely they can enter your life and what effects this has for you depend on your ability and willingness to recognize the tasks as a learning process; and on your readiness to acknowledge them as such and strive, with My help, to solve them. As long as you are not ready for this—whether from ignorance or because you do not accept My spiritual laws—you remain a plaything of other forces working against Me and against you.

That is why, as I said at the beginning, your well-being and misfortune depend on whether you still go blindly through life or are already on the way to becoming able to see, step by step. And of course also on whether you are willing at all to approach these tasks gradually, which I call “inner work.”

The opposing forces constantly try to prevent you from learning, while walking at My hand, to look behind things and thereby gain an understanding that everything is connected and interwoven, and that one thing continuously acts upon another. Thus causes are constantly set that sooner or later become effects. These in turn then trigger inner feelings and emotions in the human being that often are not in love and prompt him to wrong reactions, to wrong behavior. He often knows what would be right, but because of insufficient enlightenment and lack of practice he is unable to put this knowledge into action—into his own action.

The result is that the human being moves farther and farther away from Me. For he does not really know Me, often at most by name. And then justice is no longer attributed to Me either, which in turn leads to a whole series of further false conclusions and reactions that cause him increasingly to fall into a weak faith or unbelief.

One trigger was and is, among other things, the false doctrine of a single earthly life and the resulting misinterpretation of the law of sowing and reaping, which according to church teaching always works only into the future while leaving the past out of account. Thus the question of when the seed for today’s harvest was sown remains unanswered. It is set aside with a shrug and the reminder that no human being can penetrate the mysteries of God.

What a fatal error! What painful consequences this move by darkness has brought upon My human children, a move in whose origin and enforcement the worldly and ecclesiastical powers of that time were equally involved!

My justice makes no distinctions, even though superficial observation often makes it appear otherwise to you. Giving preferential support to one and neglecting another can never be compatible with My love. All creatures are equally embraced by it.

Incidentally, this also applied to the human being Jesus of Nazareth, in whom I incarnated and who then served as My dwelling for thirty-three years. He too—and especially he—had to endure the severest inner struggles, for the powers of darkness assailed him to a special degree. What an “inner celebration” it would have been for them if they had succeeded in bringing him down …!

It is important for you to keep reminding yourselves that what you see with your eyes, hear with your ears, and perceive in many ways through your other senses is only a tiny section of a much greater event—a section that, including all the powerful and “great” figures of this world, will soon be past, but that through your present behavior shapes the future: your own and, if more and more people come to this realization and implement it positively in their lives, also the future of entire groups and peoples.

Reduced to the smallest but decisive common denominator, the required, right behavior is: love—and nothing else! And in the sense in which I taught and lived it as Jesus.

Such a love, which has long been familiar to your soul, includes without any ifs or buts a trust in which there is no room for fears and worries. By this I mean your everyday fears and worries, your useless thinking and talking expressed in speculating about what might come and which therefore is pure waste of energy. Darkness gratefully accepts these gifts …

It is a “strong statement” when I tell you that wherever a person repeatedly gives room to negative thoughts about the future, where these thoughts may even rule him, love for Me is still small. Or put positively: there is still great potential for growth.

This will provoke contradiction, and that is good. For it is meant to encourage you to think about My word. The point is not to belittle the love for Me that has already developed. I do not condemn—I love! No matter how a son or daughter behaves toward Me. But in an honest examination it can help you perhaps to want to correct something in your self-assessment. Whether, and if so to what extent, you then do so is left entirely to your free will, without any restriction.

But it is certainly an interesting instrument of self-knowledge …

*

Every person sooner or later reaches a point in his life or lives where he asks himself: “What is all this about?” The same, incidentally, applies to every soul. For with the “death” of its human being and its entry into subtle worlds, which amounts to a “birth in the beyond,” the soul does not lose its intellect. On the contrary, it can be wide awake, full of curiosity and questions, but it can just as well be severely restricted in its perception and consciousness.

Where and how it arrives over there, how it feels, what it experiences, and much more depend on its condition at the time it laid aside its earthly body, which it no longer needs. But “its condition” also means that it itself was the one that shaped its consciousness through its behavior during earthly life into what it now is. It therefore cannot and will not be able to hold anyone else responsible for what it now finds in its new living environment—if that is something unpleasant or bad.

Your proverb “As the tree falls, so it lies” describes figuratively how things continue after death: apart from a different, no longer material environment, for the time being much as they were before. This means that the inner condition of the human being is now reflected in the soul’s outward living environment and is experienced very concretely; with a more or less strong tendency forward or “upward” toward the light, provided this desire had already developed in the human being as longing or was already present.

I have placed longing for its true home in every soul as a faint memory. It guarantees that each of My children will find his way back into My arms. For no one can be lost, since everyone moves along a circular path whose starting point is also its destination.

There is therefore no eternal separation from Me, as many religious communities still hold before your eyes as a warning or even a threat if you do not behave in conformity with various church doctrines. Even if these teachings of damnation are now proclaimed publicly less and less often, they still have their place in many of the law books of your churches—and therefore their unspoken validity in the eyes of those who can convey them to people who blindly believe their church leaders.

It is not without reason that I teach you the logic of the heart …

*

You all know the words from your Scripture, “Whoever seeks will find.” My divine law of attraction underlies them. And at the same time they are My promise that everyone who sets out in search of truth will also find the truth; and with this truth also Me, who am love; for love without truth is not love.

Many among you have already found the truth within themselves. In many cases they know how I guided them because of their conscious or unconscious desire. The stations of their path were fundamentally different, the cause of which lies in the differing condition of people’s souls, shaped by their different pasts. For Me there are no paths along which I cannot guide a child. In this respect My promise also guarantees you that you will find what you need as your next step or steps, no matter what your past looks like.

In those of My sons and daughters who feel addressed by My word but have not yet had so many experiences with Me, I have indeed already kindled the flame of longing; but one or another still needs some explanations for better understanding. I will therefore explain how My law works. Another of your proverbs should not be overlooked here, which says that “the proof of the pudding is in the eating.”

Everything is vibration, everything is energy. This also applies to inner feelings, thoughts, and words, and for Me it makes no difference how they are expressed: aloud, quietly, consciously, unconsciously, once or repeatedly, and so on. Much more decisive is the earnestness behind them and the motivation. If petitions or prayers are borne by the need to develop inwardly in the spirit of love—and not by the pressing desire to avoid something or to have or experience something—then they contain a very high potential of positive energy of love. From this I, and with Me every spirit being around you with the corresponding abilities, recognize the honesty in what you express.

You can put it somewhat casually like this: Every selfless petition is answered by heaven as quickly as possible. And every longing to come closer to Me contains a selfless aspect! How, then, could I fail to grant such a petition? It is My greatest desire that My children set out on the way back to Me!

Your guardian angels and spiritual helpers also immediately recognize your intention to change something for the better. As quickly as possible, whatever is required is set in motion to start such a process. Since under certain circumstances other people also have to be involved and somewhat more extensive preparations must be made, it can sometimes appear as though heaven were sleeping or silent or did not want to grant the request.

My beloved, be assured that this is never so! Heaven makes no mistakes; only, it has the broader view and knows which steps must be initiated so that perhaps many switches can be set in such a way that they interlock and success is assured. Always assuming that the person whose good intention caused heaven to set everything in motion remains faithful to his good resolution.

And here I must add a small drop of bitterness to all that is positive and encouraging:

The opposing side too will become aware of your spiritual awakening, and it will not remain inactive. This means that it will place stones in the path you have just begun to walk. You must know this so that you are not surprised or disappointed if not everything develops as you thought or wished. In addition, I will not fulfill everything in the way you may imagine. For I look first and foremost to the well-being of your soul.

Once again: I have the overview, and My greatest desire is that you, as a spirit being who once left the heavens, return to Me and thus to your eternal bliss. Everything else, insofar as it concerns you, I subordinate to this intention. You are free to thwart this intention of Mine by not accepting what life, your fate, heaven—or however you wish to call it—presents to you as the important next stage of development. You have the right to do so. Quite a few things are “actually and originally” not intended by Me for you in the form in which you experience them, but are fruits of a seed you yourself sowed in earlier times and that must now be harvested. Yet this may serve to make you reflect.

Come to Me if you are not sure which path you should take. Ask Me, petition Me, and you will receive the answer if your heart is with Me and you are and remain vigilant. “Your will be done in me” is the best insurance in such a case too, so that you do not unwittingly become caught in the cleverly laid snares of evil.

When you begin your search for Me, you will encounter many recommendations, suggestions, and directions. Which you choose—whether you choose anything at all—depends on many factors. Fundamentally, you can never take the “wrong” path, because at first you will always feel addressed by what corresponds to your inner vibration. That is also good; for if you followed advice imposed on you as the right advice even though your heart tells you something else, you would act against your inner being and maneuver yourself into a dead end.

Seen in this light, there are no wrong paths. For if you had recognized them as wrong in advance, you would not have taken them. Afterward you have learned something, and if you preserve this experience in your heart, you have taken a very important step in the maturing of your soul.

If you seek Me with an honest heart, I will show you your path, which will lead you through stations that are right for you. So do not orient yourselves toward various doctrines of salvation. If you need them, look for information that truly helps you move forward. But take care that your heart is exclusively with Me and that you are not guided by the desire for interesting knowledge. Putting this thought into practice in your life is one of the best insurance policies you can take out.

And one more request that comes from My fatherly heart, which wants to draw your attention to a great temptation:

Take care that you do not stop your search for truth too soon—your search for Me—because you think you have now learned and done enough. Even the treasury of knowledge of My “greatest” prophets, which you can acquire by reading or even studying their works, never replaces your own inner development. This can be initiated and carried out only through your inner work. It is and remains the central focus of your journey home; on this earth it never comes to an end. And if by it one understands a growth arising from ever-new insights and their implementation, then there is no end at all. For your evolution, and not only yours but that of all creation, continues throughout eternity.

Here on earth your future often appears unstable and full of questions. It will always be that way and remain so until you place everything completely in My hands. Only then will you gradually—or much more quickly, since it depends on your decision and your subsequent actions—become free of your fears and worries. At the same time your love for Me, your neighbor, and yourself will grow. I prepare for you the steps that must be taken for this. At My hand you will be able to take them under protection.

And in doing so you will have the astonishing experience that it may be very beautiful to praise and glorify Me, but that loving Me makes one incomparably happier. You will experience a new dimension of inner joy whose foundation is mutual exchange. For love is the greatest power in the universe, not praise. Make your life an act of praise by striving to make My love the foundation of your existence.

Coming closer to Me in this way means gradually becoming love again yourself.

With My word of revelation today I have traced a broad arc, not least because it is important that you recognize the greater whole; that you see the connection among all events, of which you too are a part. Nothing ever stands alone and isolated, as though it had simply happened without any relation to yesterday and any effect on tomorrow.

The present arises from the past, and the future from the present. Your present behavior shapes what comes toward you. This applies both to the small fate of the individual and to the great fate of humanity.

Even when the “wheel of balance”—the great wheel of karma—can no longer be stopped because a fundamental cleansing is needed, this does not at the same time mean that I am unable to guide and protect individually those who ask Me and entrust themselves to Me: not merely with words and the underlying wish to be spared everything, but with the need of their heart not to lose faith in Me and My love in your difficult time.

If I am the solution for you, then I can and will “take you under My wings” like a hen her chicks. Trusting this will become easier for you the more you internalize My words and “try Me out” in the reality of your everyday life.

I offer you the only solution that is the true anchor of rescue in your difficult time. With regard to your homemade pandemic, which is only one of several hardships with which you are already confronted and that still await you, it is certainly not unimportant that you take care of a functioning, stable immune system.

But do not forget your soul’s immune system. Many of you know nothing about it. Therefore I tell you: It is more decisive for your future life than your physical one! Especially since strength of soul, which develops solely through your effort and My help, also shows its positive effects in your body. The reverse is not the case.

Amen
