Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, a serious word from your heavenly Father awaits you, one that will gladden those who are ready to recognize and make use of the many opportunities for learning and maturing that everyday life offers them and will offer them increasingly in the near future. Their hearts are open and receptive because the meaning of their incarnation is becoming ever clearer to them, and I can lead them ever closer to the tasks they undertook in harmony with My divine law and borne by My love. They have been waiting to take steps of inner growth, and they already sense or feel that the time to come will give them abundant opportunity to come closer to their goal—namely, to develop love within themselves more and more.
They also rejoice that for them the time of ignorance and constant questioning without receiving the right answers is drawing to an end. For many, the time of inner bondage, uncertainty, and doubt already belongs to the past because they have recognized the falsification of My simple teaching of love, which I brought to humanity as Jesus of Nazareth.
Others will set My word aside and, without much thought, continue to occupy themselves with what everyday life places before them and the spirit of the age dictates. Likewise, My words will not please those who do not want to accept them because the truth expressed in them confronts them with the distortion of My teaching—a distortion, alteration, and obscuring that began soon after early Christianity had formed and has not been corrected since, despite better knowledge. They will regard My words as harsh, unjust, and inappropriate and dismiss them as fantasies.
But My whole love belongs to them too. As the Good Shepherd I will patiently go after them as well, and I will bring them home as soon as they are ready.

In this time of yours, many souls press toward incarnation for different reasons: some because they sense that it will become ever more difficult to “enter the flesh” on an earth that, from their perspective, no longer offers ideal conditions; others—coming from deep and deepest astral regions—because from low motives they want to take part in promoting chaos, violence, and disorder; and finally a high proportion of purified souls and pure spirit beings coming from the heavens, who place themselves on the side of the light in order to strengthen what is positive in the struggle darkness wages with all the means at its disposal, while setting a good example. And it is precisely their work that contributes greatly to the fact that things have not yet become worse than they would be without their activity and without My mercy.
Through loving help to one’s neighbor where it is urgently needed and alleviates much suffering, through the delaying of catastrophic circumstances that My gracious hand has softened in many a situation, and through an everyday life that still gives many financially secure people the illusion of an intact world, those who look only at the surface all too quickly gain the impression that things are not so bad after all.
But that is deceptive. Do not conclude from the fact that most of you are doing well, and that despite all distress you still see and experience positive things throughout the world, that perhaps a turning back has occurred, that the karma built up over centuries and millennia is dissolving, and that in the end everything will soon turn to the good after all. You would be subject to a serious deception, perhaps lulling yourselves into security for a while longer. But truly, I tell you: it is a false security into which all those take refuge who lack the courage to look reality in the face; and not infrequently this is because they do not know Me, have not built an intimate relationship with Me, and without their illusory world, superficiality, and distractions would fall into an inner emptiness full of fears.
Whoever knows My word of revelation, which for many decades I have increasingly allowed to flow into the world, will have noticed that I repeat some things and often let you look at them from a different perspective. This is unavoidable because not everything read and heard immediately enters your understanding so deeply and durably that it becomes firmly anchored there and can serve as a foundation for new and different behavior. So this time too I return to something that has repeatedly been a theme in My revelations, so that you may recognize connections and draw from them the necessary conclusions and, if you wish, consequences as well; while your free will to merely read or listen, to change something, or even to reject My word remains untouched.
Every event, whether in the pure heavens, the extra-heavenly subtle realms, or the material worlds, contains innumerable facets. Nothing arises “just like that,” nothing happens “just like that.” Everything has, as you would say, its history. In relation to matter, where space and time operate, you can also say: Everything has a past and a future lying before it.
I have repeatedly pointed to this fact—which out of ignorance or for other obvious reasons, to which I will return, is readily overlooked, disregarded, not thought through, or denied—when I said that everything is evolution. Everything, without exception. This means that one thing builds upon another, that something arises step by step, that a form—whether an event, a destiny, a constellation, whatever it may be—takes shape carrying within itself everything that contributed to its coming about, both negative and positive. The negative, by which I mean everything not moving within the law of My love, strengthens what is already contrary to love; the positive transforms and dissolves it.
The principle that everything builds upon everything else applies throughout creation. In matter it is additionally extended by the law of cause and effect, which does not exist in the heavens because life in divine consciousness produces no negative causes.
Whatever you experience, whatever confronts you—and your present time already makes this clear, while the coming years and decades will show it beyond all doubt—is the harvest of a seed sown mainly in past centuries. For many years those willing to look could see the first shoots sprouting.
By now the seed is increasingly coming up, and a harvest is becoming visible that frightens many people. They fear it, face it helplessly, and have no explanation for what is suddenly happening, how this avalanche arose, or who set it in motion. Usually still unconsciously, they fear being carried away by the whirlpool; they feel the unstable ground on which they stand. Many a person believes he can seek and find his salvation in outward security. He is mistaken. The majority, however, do not believe the signs of the times, do not want to believe them, and therefore repress what should be looked at and corrected. They attempt—an attempt that will fail—to prevent an awakening from their spiritual sleep through distractions of every kind.
How would humanity today behave if it knew—and, because it knew, had internalized—that every event resembles a chain often consisting of countless individual links, all neatly joined and connected? That its own life, its own well-being or suffering, is subject to this principle as well? And that it is by no means helplessly exposed to a threatening fate building up before it, but possesses an inner instrument—namely My power of love within the human being—capable of averting much? And that, had this instrument been used in time, things would not have had to come this far?
The connections I have called back to your memory with My words are not so new that anyone could claim not to have known them before. They are even in your scripture, and your theologians teach them when they proclaim: What a person sows, that he will reap. Because your church teaching does not provide for repeated earthly lives, however, this saying is interpreted exclusively to mean that after death a person will reap what he sowed during his lifetime. That is not false, but it represents only half the truth. This alone has produced the mistaken impression that present existence with its heights and depths is not affected by this law, but only the future existence in some kind of beyond. How much more accurate the meaning of this saying would be if you made a small rearrangement: A person reaps what he has sown! And into his new life, his new incarnation, he brings the harvest of the seed from his previous life. Applied to all people: Humanity reaps what it has sown!

To call the inner and outer misery in which you find yourselves, and which threatens to crush you, merely a “problem” would be a vast understatement. In several of My revelations during recent months I have said that the final battle has begun and difficult times lie ahead. I said this with the necessary clarity and will continue to do so, even if this directness is unpleasant to some who prefer to see Me exclusively as love and mercy, forgetting that seriousness too is a divine quality. Directness is often not particularly to their liking, nor is it to their liking when, where necessary, I put My finger on the wound in order to help bring about recognition and insight, to save what wishes to be saved.
To find a solution in a deadlocked situation—whatever difficulty or adversity is involved—it is indispensable to know the cause. If it is not immediately obvious, profound reflection and honest searching may be required to reach the root of the evil. The logic of the heart I teach you can be a great help in this.
Where, then, are the causes that explain why the connections between the state of your world and the behavior of people during roughly the last two thousand years—especially those who call themselves Christians and thus present themselves as My followers—are not recognized? Who bears responsibility for the fact that the law of sowing and reaping is known only as a phrase and therefore is not recognized and understood in its full scope?
When I now address theologians, I make clear—as I have so often—in all love that I do not mean those who, as sincerely striving pastors, do their work selflessly and thereby fulfill to the best of their ability the task they chose before their incarnation. My words are not directed at them, even though they too represent a teaching that does not correspond to My teaching as Jesus of Nazareth. They often do so with doubts and a troubled conscience because they themselves recognize its inconsistencies and contradictions. They too were taught falsely by their teachers and superiors, who in turn passed on without reflection what they themselves had been taught, and this over many, many generations. Only a few tried—and actually carried it out—to distance themselves from the untruth they had recognized, because My love burned within them and My justice worked within them. Often enough they paid for their courage with their lives.
My word, however, applies to those who act against better knowledge: princes of the churches and intellectual heads, representatives of the letter and administrators of a dusty theology. You yourselves have the law of cause and effect in your books, you yourselves teach it to those who attend your services and hear your sermons. But your consciousness is so restricted that you cannot recognize that what you teach also applies to yourselves. The opposing forces were able to reach you through your pride, vanity, desire for power, fear, and much more; and you allowed it.
When people ask you why all this suffering exists in the world and in personal life as well, you have no answer. You shrug your shoulders and refer to the “great mystery of God,” into which no one can penetrate. For you that answers the questions; yet for the seeker these are decisive questions whose correct answer in many cases determines the soul’s future life in the beyond.
Who, I ask you, sowed the seed of ignorance? Who bears responsibility for the harvest already looming ominously on the horizon? You say: We instructed people in accordance with the teaching of Jesus. But I tell you: Although you should and could have known better, you instructed them falsely; and not only that, you also failed to go before them as examples of humility, sincerity, and the desire for further development of the soul. You were and are not the servants of those you took under your wings, who for lack of insight of their own trust you in the hope that you will lead them into the “heaven” of which you yourselves have not the slightest knowledge.
How many of them, because of your false teachings—which include the dogmatic view of eternal damnation and of only one earthly life—and because of your behavior, have lost faith in Me, the loving Father? Because they did not learn to understand Me! Because you did not teach them so! Upon whom does this guilt fall back? You do not even need to use the logic of the heart; using your mind is enough to find the right answer. Your answer, if it is “I too never heard anything other than what I passed on,” is false. You do indeed know the eternal truth, or would know it if you had taken an interest in it.
For many centuries I have raised My voice to instruct My children, to whom you too belong. Again and again I sent messengers of God among the wolves in order to bring My light there as well. Which proclaimers of My truths did you take seriously? Which proclaimers did you not persecute if you were able to get hold of them?
If you do not want to think or speak about the unatoned transgressions of the past, then let us speak about what remains highly relevant today: the falsification of My teaching, which is a principal cause of your restless, loveless, and violent time; and which you hold to with every means at your disposal because, in your view—though you will not admit it—it secures your influence, power, and survival.
I address you who today, as theologians in your Christian churches, have the say: Why did you not believe My words, which over the course of many, many years I also addressed to you? Why do you not believe the words I address to you today? I offer you the highest wisdom from the heavens, and you remain with your falsified biblical word, which no longer contains an important part of My fundamental truths. You reject My word because it can no longer be found in your scripture, which you shaped according to your own judgment; because it is easier for you to pass on what has been handed down than seriously to engage with eternal truths and thereby face the voice within yourselves.
My teaching of love, which knows only eternal life and no death and contains forgiveness for everyone and everything that is recognized and repented of, does not fit your concept. And you know very well why not!
Of course you may smile at My questions and set them aside with a shrug. I will never press you for an answer; but truly, I tell you: your soul has long known the answers! Your soul will make you restless—if not now, then later; if not later, then sometime. It is merely a question of time. It can, however, be a very long time for your soul if the human being still displays stubborn unwillingness to see at the moment when his soul leaves him. Do not dismiss the soul as something abstract merely because you know no better! Your soul is you yourselves in subtle form, with all your feelings, thoughts, unfinished matters, worries, fears, and doubts—but naturally also with all the good and light-filled things with which you have shaped your inner being over the course of your life.
I do not threaten, I do not punish, I do not frighten—only the unenlightened and unbelieving person becomes afraid—I exert no pressure. None of that fits the freedom that I am and that lies within you too. But because I want to spare those who refuse insight and insist on their opinion the suffering that will inevitably come upon them when their soul—they themselves—enters the realms of the beyond after the last breath, I tell you:
The astral realms, including deep and lightless spheres, are populated by souls who, as teachers of My Christian message, could not or would not recognize that by passing on false beliefs they acted against My commandment of love. Yet despite their faults and weaknesses, despite their greater and lesser guilt, they are and remain My beloved children. My light of love burns within them too; otherwise they would have no life in them. I wait longingly for the first realizations about their wrong behavior to break open within them. When repentance and the request for forgiveness are then added to their recognition, I will find possibilities to lead them too onto the path into the light. This applies to every one of My children who comes to Me repentant and asking.

Whoever needs proof that My words are correct should look at the state of the world. Is it the path of love I taught and lived before you that has led to such chaos, injustice, and disputes and wars that can no longer be surveyed? Did the wonderful seed sown by early Christianity in the first two centuries produce today’s harvest? Can suffering, distress, persecution, hunger, and death be the effects of a principle of love for God and neighbor put into practice? The answers arise by themselves. What does the logic of the heart say?
A Christianity that had practiced My teaching of love through the many centuries could show a different result. The world would be a flourishing garden created by people who love one another and nature with all its creatures, and it would be an attraction for all who felt the wish within themselves to experience and live this peace and this selfless togetherness as well. In this way a Garden of Eden would have arisen, a reflection of your heavenly home.
Darkness prevented this by influencing those whom it could reach and seduce through the weakness of their souls.
Is it difficult for you to recognize that the Christian religion, as preached and lived for almost two thousand years, has failed? And yet the princes of the churches remain faithful to their course despite all confusion, disorder, lack of direction and success, despite an increase in lovelessness and discord. They, and with them a large part of their followers, do not recognize that the view they propagate and practice of a path meant to lead to God and peace has failed across the board. Still the same old and unsuccessful methods are used in an attempt to save the sinking ship. The failure that has long been apparent is either presented as inexplicable or attributed to a God who apparently does not keep His word, or to the failure of believers to put the commandment of love into practice: “The devil tempted and seduced people,” they say.
Only “the people,” I ask you? Did he not dare approach you? Because you were so strong that he saw no chance of success? In his place would you refrain from aiming at the king and content yourselves instead with eliminating ordinary soldiers? Use your mind, if you wish, and investigate when and in what way the demon not only aimed at the king but also struck him.
Do theologians really consider the path that has obviously proved false to be more correct than the one I taught and teach? Or is it merely their inability to separate themselves from old patterns of thought in order to take the path I show them? The thought that humanity as a whole, and the individual as well, might reap what was sown in the past is rejected as false teaching. When could anything have been sown, after all, if according to church teaching a person’s soul is created by Me individually and anew at birth, “fresh” and unburdened?
It was only a small, apparently insignificant alteration of a divine law, scarcely or not at all recognizable to the ignorant, that over time has shown and continues to show devastating consequences. Hardly anyone knows that he has a past; hardly anyone applies the law of sowing and reaping to himself; hardly anyone recognizes the necessity of changing his nature toward the positive in order to contribute to an overall change that ultimately leads to an overall improvement.
One of many small but significant cogwheels was removed from the “mechanism” of My laws. Not truly and not actually, because that is impossible; but suppressing it was enough for it to be absent from the minds of the overwhelming majority of people. The consequences can no longer be overlooked: the human being stands there questioning, perplexed, and helpless; the peace for which people prayed and still pray so often, the repeatedly invoked equality and freedom for all, the desired paradise on earth—all this has moved into the far, far distance. In its place storm clouds have gathered and begun to discharge.
*
It is important that you pray; it is important that you cultivate positive thoughts; it is important that you do not worry and take care that fears do not plague you. But—and this will disillusion one or another—all this will not stop and reverse the wheel that has been set in motion. The burden resting on humanity’s shoulders and borne by the earth is too great.
The time ahead of you—while the when, where, and how remain hidden for good reasons—was foretold by many seers and prophets. It brings you nothing to close your eyes to the harvest taking shape, nor does it help to “stare like a rabbit at the snake,” remaining spellbound and paralyzed in one place, which means no longer moving inwardly because nothing seems to promise success anyway.
My beloved sons and daughters, that would be the most mistaken thing you could do. There is indeed a path to a solution, though for some it may not be exactly what they hope or wish for. It does not say: If only you believe in Me, you will get through without scratches and bruises. It is not necessarily about preserving life and limb or possessions. In many cases that will not be possible, any more than it is possible to be the sole survivor of an airplane crash from a great height. Whoever counts on that will be disappointed.
Much will be turned upside down; what was above will tumble downward, and what lay hidden in the depths will be washed upward. Whoever under these circumstances devotes everything to limiting outward damage or avoiding it altogether is betting on the wrong horse. My love naturally also concerns the outward health and welfare of My children, but since you dwell in matter only for a relatively short time, the outward is not unimportant but of secondary significance. For Me your soul comes first; its condition, its light and its shadows, determine whether your way home to your eternal home, back into My arms, will be short and easy or long and difficult.
This does not mean that I pay no attention to the outward or do not ensure that, even in difficult times, things go well for you in accordance with the circumstances. I have unlimited possibilities to intervene and set the course. For this I need your trust, your decision, and your endeavor.
Your decision will depend not insignificantly on whether you believe My words, whether you recognize the connections, and whether you feel within yourselves the desire to walk the path of love with Me—a path that knows no prohibitions, no restriction, no frightening and no uncertainty; that requires no more than: love—and nothing else! If you long for a future without fear, if the welfare of your soul is more important to you than perishable material goods, if you place inner security above a more than questionable outward security, and if in your hearts you already feel the flame of longing and love for Me that is to be enlarged, then give Me your yes. In your thoughts place your hand in Mine. That is the inner instrument of which I spoke at the beginning.
I promise you: It will become an adventure! One that, despite all adversities, lets your human self go joyfully through the day and helps your soul free itself!
No one can or will prevent you from growing into independent thinking and acting, using your mind and practicing the logic of the heart. You cannot expect the church authorities to correct their false teachings. But you yourselves can certainly distance yourselves from them. You need a little courage—which I strengthen in you when I see that you are on the way to Me—and in your rethinking you need the certainty that the law of cause is not there to punish. It serves recognition; if that recognition leads to change, it has fulfilled its purpose.
My law will never hang over your heads like a sword of Damocles, for it is not there as an ever-present danger to move My children to obedience. I am love, mercy, and forgiveness. I transform the burdens of your past, if you give them to Me and endeavor to act differently in the future, into what is light-filled and light.
And when with the logic of your heart you begin to examine, and where necessary replace, the views and opinions you have acquired and been brought up with concerning Me, My law, and My love, do not forget one important, decisive step: Correct also the image of a God who cannot be understood and who is supposed to dwell in some distant heavens.
Truly, I tell you, My child: I live within you! I am closer to you than everything you have and are. I am the life within you, I am the love within you. Close your eyes, become still, find your way inward—and you are with Me! Within you I wait to become the guide through the time ahead of you. Your yes is the key that will open the lock and push wide the door to freedom.
This is what your God tells you, the One who created you ages ago and who for all eternity will be your Father who loves you.
Amen
