Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, for many thousands of years—according to your reckoning of time—high and highest spirit beings from the pure heavens have repeatedly incarnated in order, commissioned by Me and yet entirely voluntarily, to enlighten ignorant humanity about the fact that I, the one God, exist; and that the true home of human beings is with Me, and that every one of them is already on the way home, whether he knows it or not.
It was, is, and remains My goal to bring back to Me, who am love, everyone who has left his eternal home. For this purpose, through many of My faithful ones, I gave you enlightenment upon enlightenment, which over time has “increased” in the depth of its perspective. For it matters to Me to make you once again beings who not only recognize the spiritual potential within them—because I point them toward this eternal truth—but who are also ready to work with it.
For this it is necessary that you become more and more self-thinking and independent creatures who are able, from an inner impulse, to recognize the meaning and purpose of their earthly existence and the way to My heart as their original and at the same time future home.
I will begin with a small example:
I am the one and all. I am the origin. Everything that is has come forth from Me. I alone brought My creation into life or allowed further realms to form outside the pure heavens. Outside Me there is no Source of life.
What does that mean for you? That there can also be only one fundamental law that stands above everything! And because it comes from Me, it is valid for all eternity. All other regulations, guidelines, commandments, and prohibitions require your attention; especially when they do not have selfless love as their foundation, they are not from Me. Then they arose under the influence of the forces of darkness, which thereby took under their wing human beings whose striving and aspirations were and still are restricted.
If you acknowledge these words of Mine, this alone gives rise to different thinking and action than in the past. If you use this standard, you learn to distinguish.
Because My teaching was altered, and today you still live with flawed and contradictory knowledge that is many centuries old and corresponds to medieval thinking, it was and remains easy for the opposing side to present you with an image of Me that makes Me appear as the punishing God. Or it calls My existence into question altogether by sowing doubt upon doubt, because hardly anyone still believes that behind all the chaos increasingly becoming apparent there is supposed to be an order existing in Me.
Thus it is impossible for the great majority to recognize My love in everything that happens to them and to conclude from this that everything must therefore also be good and right. For it comes from the heart of creation, which wants nothing other than to restore unity.
And yet I tell you: Everything—which means without exception—is grounded in My love! And it serves exclusively to move you toward insight and afterward, if this is necessary and you decide to do so, toward a turning back and a change in your conduct.
*
I tell you nothing new when I remind you that you are free children of My creation. This reads so quickly and so easily; yet behind it lies something much, much greater, whose possibilities exceed everything you can imagine with your limited human intellect.
Out of the desire to share and ceaselessly give away My infinite love, I brought creatures into life whom I endowed with a power and splendor unknown to you as citizens of earth. Even the mightiest of your mighty is no more than a breath of wind that has passed and a scarcely perceptible shadow beside them. These beings—and by this I mean you too, for you belong among them—were and are indeed not equal to God, but they carried and carry within them a fullness, an energy, and a radiance—My energy and My radiance—that cannot even approximately be described.
I have deliberately emphasized this once again in order slowly but surely to move your thinking in a new, different direction, toward an ever more firmly rooted conviction that you are more than “that little bit of flesh and blood” looking back at you from a mirror.
You are sons and daughters of heaven, even though at present you live as human beings on earth. You are immortal beings whose home was with Me and will be with Me again—which in truth you never really left, for your heavenly home is still within you.
I am your home; I am your primal ground; I am your life—and I live within every single one. Therefore there can be no real separation between us, for that would mean you would no longer exist, because it would be possible to extinguish My love-life-energy within you.
No one is capable of that because there is no greater power than My power.
But, My beloved, it is very possible for Me to be made foreign to you, for the—figuratively speaking—“distance” between Me and you to grow so that you hardly perceive My light within you anymore. And that is precisely what the opposing forces have been striving for from time immemorial, and in your time more intensely than ever before.
For those among you whose open hearts receive My words, it is therefore important to know how they can protect themselves even better. It is My deepest desire to draw all My children closer to Me and in this way to be their protection and shield, but not all will want this.
To be even better armed than in the past against subtle temptations, it can be helpful to become more sensitive to everything that flows toward you. In order literally to “lull you to sleep,” you are showered with news and with unimportant and superficial reports and information that, in addition, contain many untruths and falsifications. If you give this too much attention, you no longer enter your inner being. And then one of the many goals of the forces of darkness would have been achieved.
For at the same time it is made difficult for you to question yourselves repeatedly, to listen within and ask whether this or that decision was right or wrong, whether it was even a day on which you were in contact with Me more than once.
In recent years and decades the emphasis of My revelations, which came into your world through many of My faithful ones, shifted more and more toward allowing you to recognize that My love lives within you, and thus that you too are love. But beyond this knowledge it is urgently necessary that you understand that, through your willingness, My love within you also has to be gradually uncovered again and thus become visible.
The tools for this, the helps, instructions, and detailed information have meanwhile become so extensive and thorough that everyone who wishes will be able to find them, because then I can reach him within.
Yet very little is known to My human children about the fact that dark forces exist—which I often call the opposing side or the forces of darkness—and that they are far more real than what, for example, you see with your eyes or perceive at all with your senses. But, and I emphasize this expressly: whatever evil they plan and carry out, they are and remain your brothers and sisters, who like you will “one day” once again take their place with Me.
But that time has not yet come; these negative beings still strive with all their might and power to keep human beings from the development of their souls or even estrange them from Me. And therefore I want increasingly to direct your attention to the fact that attempts are made without interruption to disturb or prevent your efforts to come closer to Me. Because this very often succeeds, due in part to your inattention and ignorance, so many of your efforts “come to nothing.”
You have good will, you make an effort—and then, despite the best intentions, the “old program” plays itself out. And in the invisible background those who wish you no good rub their hands, for not only have they prevented you from realizing a good intention or from observing My law of love at all; they may also have received energy from you.
For ultimately it is always about energy! Since they do not receive from Me the energy for their unlawful activity, they try to obtain their energy from human beings; and they succeed all too often, increasingly so in recent times.
When I tell you that you have not even the faintest idea of the subtlety with which your opponents proceed, another small example may open your eyes:
The origin of separation from Me lies—as the great majority of you know—in the so-called Fall. Despite all My admonitions and instructive words, Sadhana, who later called herself Lucifer, succeeded in convincing some of her heavenly brothers and sisters that they would rather live at her side than at Mine—which in a few words is a completely inadequate but nevertheless reasonably understandable explanation.
What power, strength, capability, and “spiritual weight” must have stood behind this for her to be able to draw angelic beings—who carried and still carry My light within them—to her side! The free will of every creature, which also lies within you as My gift, made it possible for her to put her egoistic intention into practice.
As a result, the worlds outside heaven arose, and at their lowest point the material universe. Sadhana-Lucifer is now only “a shadow” of her former self, and yet her power and her possibilities and those of her followers are still far greater than you can imagine with all your fantasy. The dark forces have possibilities you cannot even think of because they do not occur within your ways of seeing things.

Free will!
I have often suggested that in order to recognize deeper connections it can be helpful from time to time—at My hand and thus under My protection—to consider the question: What would you have done if evil intentions determined your thinking and actions?
In this way you discover many things that remain hidden from you when viewed superficially.
After the forces working against Me had to leave heaven, and the so-called “wall of light” had formed around their former home, subtle worlds arose outside My eternal kingdom; worlds that indeed still possessed, and still possess, a high radiance, but were no longer heaven. Those among the fallen who gained insight recognized their error, regretted it, and did not “fall” farther. Those without insight continued their struggle against Me … and fell and fell and fell. At the lowest point of the Fall, matter arose as the most coarsely condensed form.
Every being needs energy in order to exist. And so from the beginning it was the endeavor of the apostates to obtain the desired energy from those whom they could influence and thereby move to conduct that does not correspond to My commandment of love.
“Who would do such a thing?” may arise in you as a question. “Who voluntarily gives away life-force, and to those who fight against love at that?” Whoever thinks this way greatly underestimates his opponent and, because of his ignorance and lack of enlightenment, very easily becomes a victim, a supplier of energy, without knowing it.
And to a lesser or greater degree, all human beings become such suppliers of energy in the course of their earthly life, something that cannot be entirely avoided; for with an incarnation, the soul, then living in a small human body, has entered the domain of the forces of darkness. “Thank God,” in the truest sense of the words, there is a counterforce against which even the worst seducers have nothing to set …
Whoever wanted to know this before his incarnation was enlightened by his heavenly companions, including his guardian angel. He may also have been advised to wait a little longer with his incarnation because the circumstances he would meet would bring much work and difficulty.
Whoever is wise listens to his heavenly assistance, for it has the overview. But whoever, for the most varied reasons, feels literally driven will pay no attention to all the pointers and recommendations: he incarnates nevertheless—and under certain circumstances it will be a life that is not entirely easy, in which he runs the risk of “coming out worse than he went in.”
The pivotal point of why it is often so difficult, and why lifelong attentiveness is advisable, is free will. I endowed everyone—and thus you too—with it because I did not want slaves and recipients of orders at My side, but free children of My love. I accepted that a certain risk was connected with it, for freedom of will was meant and intended to be tested and in the end served and still serves the maturation and perfection of My children.
The “weak point” of free will is that it can of course also be used to act against My law of love. My opponent and yours also knows that no one does this of his own accord and with a “clear mind.” Remind yourselves again and again of his subtlety and of My question how you would proceed.
No seducer will reveal his intentions from the outset, especially not if he has sufficient intelligence and possibilities for concealment. So he will begin “carefully”; he will divide his plan—especially when he intends something larger—into small steps, the first of which appear completely harmless, so that you cannot recognize them as the beginning of a larger planned seduction.
He will connect pleasant things with it for you, flatter your ego, awaken hidden wishes within you, use—misuse—your free will for decisions that later, in the light of My commandment of love, prove wrong. In this way—often including earlier behavioral programs still slumbering unnoticed within you—he will move you to conduct you may recognize as wrong only later. Then it is certainly not too late for correction—it is never too late—but you may already have a difficult stretch of the path behind you and perhaps also still before you.
Another weak point of your free will: whenever you want something without observing higher laws, your consciousness becomes clouded to a lesser or sometimes greater extent, even when you do not recognize your own role because apparently everything arose and came together by itself and you were not the actors.
The result is that you no longer possess your previous clarity and your ability to decide is restricted, naturally always in relation to what you are doing. Much is intercepted by Me beforehand. Then My mercy comes into play, for I alone know what you still have to learn.
But if it is meant to serve you in gaining insight and move you a little forward in your development, it may also be that I allow the consequences of wrong conduct. Yet this never serves as punishment, but is intended in the end to move you to place your will again within Mine in the healing recognition that I alone—love—have the overview of your life, that I do everything for you and allow everything to come to you that is good and right for the well-being of your soul and your development.
For I want to hold every one of you in My arms again as soon as possible.

This principle of seduction lay behind the Fall, and because from the perspective of the forces of darkness it proved successful, it was retained. And so today it still causes My little sheep to stumble and come to a standstill in their development, and not infrequently a backward step occurs as well.
The details naturally differ from case to case, and it is not as though you were continuously exposed to attacks and temptations of this “magnitude.” Much takes place on a lower level. But in the long run it is no less dangerous for that reason, because it often happens without immediately leaving traces and yet under certain circumstances can develop into a negative pattern of behavior.
That you live on earth in the realm of the dark forces does not at the same time mean there is no possibility of developing here. On the contrary! Your planet in particular offers you opportunity after opportunity to develop the strength of your soul, not least because here you come together with many other people who are mirrors for you and can help you toward self-knowledge. Without self-knowledge, as you know, there are no real successes in change.
But even more important is that you decide—not merely that you know about it!—to work, with My power that since Golgotha lies within every human being and every soul, on putting your knowledge into practice.
Countless times I have told you that I love you, and unconditionally. My love therefore does not depend on any achievement on your part; nor on belonging to a religious or church community.
I live within you, and thus My power of love is the sustaining factor in your life. But the degree to which it can become active within you and your life does not depend on Me. See yourself as the opener of a magnificent gate, who has it in his hand to open the wings of the gate wide so that My power can flow into you fully.
Because you have free will, you also have it in your hand to open the gate still wider, should this be necessary, so that still more blessing and light can flow into you. It is a question of recognition and ultimately of decision.
If after My words today you have understood how important it is to withstand the dangers lurking everywhere, and if in the future you want to be more watchful and come to Me more often than in the past, then even your unspoken desire for intimate fellowship is enough. I see into your heart; I see your strengths and weaknesses, your efforts; I see you as victor and sometimes also as loser. I know everything about you, for I live within you!
Take up the struggle!! You now know what it looks like around you, what it looks like throughout the world. Let us together set My light against everything that wants to destroy and bring discord!
With all the pain and all the distress coming upon humanity, let us do it in love! Let us do it in the knowledge that we indeed take a position the spirit of the age cannot shake, but one in which nevertheless all those remain our brothers and sisters who have not yet recognized Me as eternal love!
Amen
Rise Up, You Lie in the Dust of the Earth
Awaken, human being, recognize your bonds,
awaken and understand who you are!
See through who holds you, with what disgrace
he marks your soul so that you forget.
Rise up, you lie in the dust of the earth
and scarcely notice it. Therefore My Father-word.
You are, like all, from the one flock,
and I let no one remain away forever.
Do not suffocate My holy urging within you,
allow your heart to stir.
And listen, even hesitantly, to the songs
of the great love that carries you beyond time.
Lift your gaze to heaven’s vastness,
even if still unrecognized within you.
Decide. I want to open My arms
that receive you when you come home, child.
