Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, with this revelation I will deepen something fundamental concerning a subject about which I have often spoken to you, but which contains infinitely many more aspects. On your journey home to Me, your eternal Source of life, you will gradually unfold these aspects within yourselves to a far greater extent than I can convey them to you now, and you will once again make them entirely your own.
I am speaking of My love, to which—as I have often told you—there is nothing comparable, because it endures forever, is selfless and unconditional to a degree you cannot comprehend, and is the foundation of My omnipotence.
I have endowed every creature with My love. In My human children it still lies largely unrecognized and undeveloped. But it is present in everyone.
Nothing and no one can impair or diminish My love in its uniqueness, which at the same time means that there is nothing more sublime, more glorious, greater, or stronger. My love is unconquerable, and upon this rests My word that I will allow nothing that is Mine to be lost. And everything is Mine! Therefore I will lead everything back into unity so that indestructible harmony may reign forever in everything and with everything.
Love is the power of heaven; therefore it will emerge victorious from the struggle that darkness wages against the light. I want to explain to you why this is so, and I desire that My children not merely take this instruction in through their ears but let it fall deeply into their hearts, so that from there it can work and determine their future actions.
You all know the parable of the “prodigal son,” who in this image stands for all My children who left the Father’s house and, after their experience in a foreign land and the recognition of their actions, returned home. All My human children and all souls in the realms that—from your point of view—lie beyond are in the same situation as the prodigal son. The great arc extends from leaving home to returning home. Between these two poles lie periods of different lengths that in the worst case can last eons, and in the best case only a few decades or centuries by your reckoning of time.
Imagine that on a cold and foggy November morning you leave your home and go out into the day without knowing exactly what awaits you. After many hours you return in the evening or at night, perhaps tired or exhausted, but with the certainty that the hardship of the day has now come to an end. You are home again. Much happened during the hours you were away: good things and less good things. Moments joined into minutes, and these in turn into hours—until finally a colorful array of many-layered events constitutes the result of your day’s excursion.
It is no different for a spirit being that—for the most varied reasons—has left or leaves the pure heavens. At first it experiences realms outside heaven that still convey an impression of heavenly freedom and harmony, later the denser spheres down to the astral planes, and finally it enters matter and incarnates as a soul in a human body. The spirit being thereby finds itself within the domain of darkness, for matter formed as the lowest point of the Fall as a consequence of the rebellion of the angels.
Throughout all the “stages of its journey” I have never left My child, for I am within it—within everyone—as the life that sustains it, even when the veil of forgetting has settled over the past and My child no longer perceives Me within. But I am and remain there! Why? Because I am forever within all that is—for everything is from Me—and because in this way I have the possibility of acting upon My child directly or indirectly, while respecting its free will.
*
The veil of forgetting, which by the way is not quite as impenetrable as you generally suppose, has the effect that My child may indeed have an inner sense of what his true home is and of Me as his Source of life, but as a rule ignorance predominates, which is used by the forces of darkness for their purposes. From early childhood My human children are fed all kinds of religious views and ideologies that determine their later thinking, speaking, and acting. Even if some of your religions speak of Me as a God of love, I am at the same time either portrayed as punishing, or My teaching is proclaimed in such a distorted way that the aspect of infinite love—which is stronger than everything else—recedes into the background or is no longer understood.
Thus My ignorant sons and daughters are exposed to many dangers of which they know nothing. This is intended by the opposing side. It knows very well that one is at the mercy of an opponent one does not know or misjudges. And so many people resemble wanderers who walk and walk and walk, at stretches through fog and marshland, without having any knowledge at all that their wandering might have a destination. But those who wander without a goal are and remain easy prey for those who, in their own way, are very much “seeing”; for these look into the souls of people who do not even suspect that they are being observed.
Who are those of whom I speak when I use terms such as “forces of darkness,” “darkness,” or “adversaries”? First of all, they are My children, whom I love just as much as those who remained faithful to Me. And then they are your brothers and sisters, whom you too love in the depths of your hearts, even if you are not, or not yet, conscious of it. In the depths of your being you cannot do otherwise than love them—for the depths of your being are love, love from My love!
But they are also the ones who still wage their struggle against everything that is light or strives toward the light. They wage this struggle because they too need energy in order to live. They receive no divine energy for their actions; therefore they obtain their energy where it is given to them: from human beings whom they seduce into thinking and acting contrary to love. They have built up a mighty realm structured hierarchically, served by countless demons and vassals. Beyond that, an immeasurable number of souls serve them, souls whom they in turn have made dependent, but who often are not even conscious of their dependence, indeed do not even know under what influence they stand.
If you ask where these realms of darkness are supposed to be, of which you have never heard, the answer may frighten you: they are everywhere, even immediately around you! Because the human senses are limited, the human being sees only what his eye shows him; his gaze always falls only upon material things. The non-material, the subtle, is hidden from his eyes. He therefore does not see what is happening around him. He does not see the beings of light who want to guide him and move him toward right thinking and action; and he does not see those who are merely waiting to discover a weak point of soul and energy within him and act upon it accordingly.
Everything in creation rests upon the principle of attraction or repulsion. No negative foreign energy can act upon a human being if something similar or the same is not present within him—in his soul. Shadow cannot fall into light, but light can illuminate the shadow. The attempts to strengthen the shadows still present within you in order thereby to weaken you energetically take place without interruption. Free yourselves from the idea that dark forces would take a breather or grant you hours or days of “rest.” They are always present. The extent to which they can influence you depends on you.
Take the image of a romantic campfire around which you have gathered with friends in a good mood. Your fire illuminates only a small circle around your group, a manageable circle avoided by wild animals and also by people who do not mean you well. But after only a few yards the light loses its brightness; there the darkness begins, becoming denser and denser. You feel safe because you are in the light. But what happens if the fire burns down and finally goes out?
All of you spread around yourselves a spiritual light of greater or lesser strength. It nourishes you, it illuminates your soul and mind, it shines more and more brightly the more earnestly you strive to live love. But that does not mean that darkness sleeps. Through your faults and weaknesses—whether you are conscious of them or not—it gains unnoticed access. In doing so it makes use of multilayered subtleties that you cannot imagine even with all your powers of imagination. Above all it makes use of your wishes, ideas, and habits that do not accord with the law of love; it strokes your ego, strengthens your aversions toward your neighbor, your aggressions, your self-will, your feelings of revenge, and infinitely much more. And if you are not careful, you are right in the middle of this “game”; you are, so to speak, the principal actors, comparable also to puppets guided by invisible strings. And you do not notice it—not at first.
Most people are in this situation. No one is exempt from attacks and temptations, anywhere or at any time. No human being can think anything without at the same time entering into communication with corresponding fields of energy or beings; no one can act without leaving a trace in the invisible realm and perhaps setting the course for subsequent deeds. Everything is continuously integrated into an infinitely large, invisible network of energy that in turn has its levels and branches. Everything lives, everything communicates with everything else, and according to the law of attraction, both in the positive and in the negative, those forces to which the human being gives space through his life—and in the negative case often gives power over him—grow stronger.
This enlightenment is intended solely to open your eyes to the situation in which every human being finds himself at every moment of his life. It is meant to sharpen your awareness so that you deal responsibly with your thoughts, words, and deeds, perhaps already looking “in advance” at your feelings and willing. Under no circumstances is it intended to frighten you—on the contrary: with this knowledge and the tool of inner work that I have been giving you for years, you have an instrument in hand that—if you wish—makes you almost invulnerable; at the very least, it strengthens you to a degree that makes it considerably easier for you to deal rightly with the circumstances of your daily life.
The principle of attraction does not concern only the possibility of being influenced by negative forces, but equally everything luminous, good, and loving that wants to enter your life. The reference to the machinations of darkness is intended merely to turn you from the ignorant into those who know. With this knowledge, now direct your attention all the more toward your path, which leads back to My Fatherly heart. It is marked by the trust a child places in his father, the trust that a promise of the Father—My promise—holds in every case and under all circumstances.
*
One of My promises is: I will bring you home! When that will be depends on you, for you have free will. But that I will draw you and all others back to My Fatherly heart is beyond doubt. I do not lose what is Mine—for there is no possibility for anyone to set anything comparable against My power of love. And with this I come to one of My laws, which—like all the others—is embedded in My love: the law of cause and effect. Because it is taught falsely, it is also understood falsely, with the consequence that a large part of My human children either consider Me unjust or do not believe in Me.
If you look at your history, if you consider the events of your day in society, economics, religion, and politics, you will find that the true causes of an event are asked about in so few cases that it would not be wrong to formulate it this way: the causes are never investigated. Behind this lies the satanic principle of under no circumstances seeking the trigger, the deep reason—then there is no danger of finding it—but instead hastily presenting immature solutions so that the mistake or damage can quickly be forgotten. Yet this procedure is found not only on the large scale; on the small scale too, in personal life, it has always been customary to close one’s eyes to what set an event in motion. If this were done honestly, it would amount to an examination of the soul with the aim of proceeding through self-knowledge to a decision and finally to a change. But because this is sometimes connected with painful insights and also with work—namely, putting an old behavior aside with My help and learning and practicing a new one—the path of insight is not taken very often.
This leads to causes—not having been recognized—not being removed, but all too often merely being covered over by setting new causes. Thus one cause is added to the next; the effects still lie unnoticed in the background. Outwardly this may then appear to be a practical solution, but in the invisible, spiritual realm it looks different: another bad seed is added to the first.
My law is incorruptible, which does not mean that it is unmerciful. My mercy, however, does not arise from arbitrariness; it does require insight and good will on the part of the one who caused the situation. But as long as no turning back has taken place either in thought or action, more and more accumulates on the negative side until finally “the measure is full.” Then comes the “pouring out”—and the human being stands stunned before what befalls him. If he still believes in Me, he begins to accuse Me. He does not understand why this is happening precisely to him. He does not know that it is My law of love that has brought about the pouring out.
It is My immeasurably great love that ensures that My child comes to reflection. It is My will to be able to take My child back into My arms—while respecting his free will. Here lies the great misunderstanding; this is where so many of My children fail: I never interfere with their free will; therefore the only possibility left to Me is to stimulate self-knowledge within My children so that of their own free will they set a new course in their lives.
In this process I am the great healer and helper. No one has to bring about a change entirely alone, that is, by his own strength. My hand—figuratively speaking—is and remains outstretched, and I call to everyone who is in distress: “Come, recognize what has happened. And then take the hand I extend to you.”
But the decision to accept My help I cannot and will not take from anyone, even though I accompany it positively. It must, often certainly through tears and with great effort to overcome oneself, be made by My child himself. Otherwise free will would be worth nothing.
*
That love is not recognized and acknowledged as the strongest power—and if it is, then merely in theory—is due, among other things, to the fact that not only is the law of cause and effect taught falsely, but the teaching of bodily rebirth, reincarnation, was suppressed and is therefore rejected by most people in Christian countries, but also by many other religions. Without this knowledge, however, the connections cannot be recognized, with the already mentioned consequence of widespread unbelief.
Your present life represents only one spoke in the wheel of your rebirths. It is only a small section of the arc you describe, which brings you back to Me after your departure from the Father’s house. Whoever does not know this regards his present life as the only one available to him and thus as the entire arc.
I want to give you an image: Take any hour of your day and cut it out of the 24-hour wheel, while at the same time declaring the remaining 23 hours nonexistent. Look at your cut-out hour: Do the various events of this one hour, now standing alone without reference to the preceding hours, make any sense? Would not one incomprehension, head-shaking, rebellion, amazement, and so forth follow another? Would you not speak of injustice if during this hour you had to pay an invoice for goods you believe you never received? Would you not urgently demand an explanation if you found yourselves in the hospital without knowing about the accident that had happened beforehand? The series of examples could be continued indefinitely.
Awaken, My sons and daughters, and recognize the great context in which you are embedded. Recognize that all My thought and striving are directed toward reuniting My creation. You too, and you, and you belong to this! Everyone and everything is part of this eternal, wonderful, heavenly concert in which each one has his place, in which each one is needed—even those who tried to destroy the harmony.
Everyone will be brought home by Me. My deepest desire is that the journey home begin because longing and love awaken and grow within My child. Then it will be a journey home scarcely clouded by the sometimes painful harvest of a seed previously sown. Infinitely great are My possibilities, out of My love and mercy, to support a child’s journey home. Much—indeed, most—of what weighs upon My child in burdens I lift away if only he speaks a “yes” that comes from his deepest interior. Certainly it remains up to each person to measure his surrender to Me as he considers right. Or not to make it at all. But the greater and more intimate the surrender—by which I mean the effort to live love—the shorter the journey home, the more effective the becoming whole, the more intensive the liberation from so much that burdens My child.
I give you another image: See yourselves as one of countless glorious spheres that move—similar to a wonderfully beautiful jellyfish—in an ocean of love. Each sphere is an individual creature, translucent, endowed with indescribable colors and a radiance of eternity. Each sphere is not merely illuminated by the life and light of the ocean but permeated by it, and this constitutes its incomparable beauty. Yet each sphere also has the possibility, within the ocean flowing around it, of moving into areas that promise and offer it all kinds of things corresponding to its current inclinations, even if they do not accord with the law of love. These need not always be passions; not wanting to decide, not wanting to forgive, neglecting order, living superficially, seeking one’s own advantage, and much more also belong here. The sphere may find there temporary satisfaction or relaxation—from its point of view—but it can no longer be permeated by the love-light of the ocean to the same degree as before. Depending on the intensity of its self-will, its appearance loses its radiance, its translucence fades, and its former glory diminishes.
All of you, My beloved, are swimming somewhere in this ocean of creation, and to a greater or lesser degree each one has lost his former radiance. That changes nothing about My love for My “spheres”; only My law cannot—for the time being—become fully effective to the degree I desire, and to the degree every creature also desires because it carries this perfection within itself and its soul remembers it.
In every case, however, there is then a discrepancy, a difference in energy level between the sphere’s self-created world and the field of love surrounding it. This brings disharmonies and tensions with it. My love now nudges My sphere: “There is something making you unhappy, ill, joyless, and much more. Do you want to look at it?” Because love is the strongest power, in the long run the sphere has no choice but to look at itself and its inner life. If it adapts itself to the laws of love of the ocean, the tensions and irregularities gradually dissolve—or even quite spontaneously, depending on the honesty of its surrender and the severity of its burdens. Love has gained its victory through the insight of the one who caused the situation and through the change supported by Me. If the sphere pays no attention to the indications and continues its previous behavior, perhaps even more strongly, further and greater irregularities arise. The effects are not long in coming … Yet even then the matter ultimately ends well: at the end of the path love will in every case be the victor and finally be able to embrace its child again. The prodigal son has returned home.
If there is great love for the Creator of the ocean and for His laws, then despite various acts of self-will the tensions will either remain within limits or dissolve entirely. But it may very well be that despite all the love there is still something, or even quite a few things, that require closer examination. Love for Me is one thing; a second is bringing behavior that does not accord with the law back into order in order to attain resonance with the universal harmony again—which with My help is not so difficult to accomplish and often requires only a little courage.
Anchor this very firmly in your consciousness whenever moments of fear or worry seek to rob you of certainty: love is unconquerable! And when a look at the events of your time makes you doubt this word, remember that I have infinitely many possibilities for acting upon My children. Your perishable time belongs to Me; in My hands lie the destinies that are so often and so quickly blown away by the wind. Nothing can endure permanently that is not founded in the eternal harmony of heaven. Where every event had its beginning, there everything will also end again.
Then heaven will have brought His children home again.
Whoever, by free decision, strives to follow My law of love—which, in contrast to the law of human self-will, is a sweet burden—and to live with Me and thus rest in Me, his formerly crooked paths I make straight. But I will also not lose sight of the one who does not want this, who perhaps even rejects or fights Me. He is entitled to the same love. It too will bring him back, and at the latest then he will recognize that everything was good, even what at first, in an ignorant view, looked like punishment or injustice. In the end it served his return home.
I bless My creation; I bless each one of My creatures. My blessing is My energy of love, which forever is also your life. Amen.
