Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, for a large part of human beings and souls the way back to the eternal home is a long and arduous one; but this is only because they do not truly know it, walk it with eyes more or less closed, and do not know of My selfless help. Most do not even know that they are already on the way home.
But truly, I tell you: All human beings and souls are on the way home! All of them because I will lose no child, no matter how far it has moved away from Me. And it is the way home because since Golgotha—that is, through My redemption—there is only one direction in which a soul can develop: “upward,” into the light, back to Me! Golgotha was the turning point; and the road that until then led ever deeper into darkness became a loop and will thus end again at its point of origin.
With these few words the so-called Fall is described, and what I initiated through My incarnation two thousand years ago and carried out against all resistance: the bringing home of My children!
When I said that your way home often lasts a long time and is arduous, this does not mean that it is a necessity, an unavoidable hardship. Nor does it mean that the burdens of your life could not be carried more easily, as all those experience who live with Me. But living with Me is something different from having studied Me, read much about Me, merely believing that I exist, or belonging to a religious community.
Especially among those whose hearts are not yet with Me there are many who do not truly know the way home, whose eyes are still closed; partly because the truth has been withheld from them, but also because for various reasons they prefer to go through life half blind and ignorant. This seems easier in every respect than facing the challenges of a spiritual reality and with them the realization of their true being, their tasks, and their path. They deceive themselves.

In My last revelation I spoke of the fact that you are in an invisible war. This was not the first time I told you this, and it will not be the last time I address this focal point. I will do so again and again, for understanding the connections brings you great benefit. At the same time, however, it also contains one of the keys that can help you free yourselves from your bondage—provided you want to, for you have free will; and provided you accept as fact that the forces of two sides are constantly striving for you. And this is not meant figuratively. In the end, the side to which you give the most nourishment through your thoughts and ideas, through what you do and fail to do, will gain the victory over you.
But it is not enough merely to know about the negative forces and their activity. What is decisive for you is to recognize how they act into your life, how they determine your behavior, how they impair your judgment—including, or especially, regarding yourselves and your faults and weaknesses. And above all it is important that you do not merely concern yourselves theoretically with the tools I bring close to you for solving your problems and difficulties, but actually use them.
This, My beloved sons and daughters, is where things often fail. Not because you do not want change and relief, but because for lack of honest self-knowledge you do not see the way to the solution. And when you do see it, you often do not use, or use incorrectly, the “tool” I have been placing in your hands for many centuries—from My teachings as Jesus of Nazareth, through the calls of many of My prophets, all the way to today’s enlightenment through countless of My faithful ones. Or—and this too is not uncommon—you do indeed want to reach the goal but shy away from the hardships of the path, which makes demands upon you and challenges and calls upon you to leave your present place.
In this way you cannot successfully walk the path your soul would so gladly take, because it means you scarcely or only slightly “move.” Often you are not even aware of this. And when you are, you not infrequently stand there questioning and disappointed and lose courage or desire to continue walking the apparently so difficult and unsuccessful path with the necessary mindfulness. Yet this would be much easier than enduring the adversities of your daily life indefinitely. Provided you do it rightly—that is, with Me.
Even though one person or another is sometimes bothered that I repeatedly place inner work at the center of My word, I will nevertheless continue to do so, because it is the only way to free you from the bonds to your habits and false patterns of behavior that you have often carried around with you for several incarnations. Information and knowledge are available in sufficient measure in the world. You need no more than what has come to you during the last decades and centuries in order to make a decision.
The adversary knows this too, and repeatedly stirs up your hunger for knowledge anew, sometimes only to keep you occupied in your intellect, but often also with apparently highly interesting news whose false “truths” you fail to recognize. Many search desperately for answers and in this way end up on wrong paths or in dead ends.
What is acquired in the head will never bring you even one step toward home unless it serves as the foundation for the action that follows! But once you do act, you will very soon discover that “all theory is gray,” as one of your sayings puts it. Then the results of your actions, the experiences you have made with Me, will become the new and only lasting foundation of your further development.
Doing is movement, doing is change, doing is progress, doing means unfolding what is new and leaving what is old. From a spiritual perspective, doing is what My and your adversary fears and fights most. People who accumulate knowledge represent no danger to him; those, however, who live their insights with My help and at My hand certainly do.
The commandment of love for God and neighbor that I gave people as Jesus contains everything you need. It does, however, require your action, for loving is practical work and is not limited to a feeling. This commandment stands like a main heading over everything. Everything beyond it that has been and is given from the heavens to human beings serves only for a deeper understanding of the all-embracing commandment of love and to help put it into practice better.
It represents a helping hand because I know how difficult things are for My children under the attacks of darkness, how easily they are distracted, and how sophisticated are the attempts of demonic forces to make an absolutely clear—that is, unambiguous—word nevertheless appear as though it had to be interpreted; naturally with a false interpretation and therefore a false result.
Among other things, the term “love” is a fitting example of a way of thinking that contains a false undertone. I remind you only of the many mistakes made in raising your children because you believe that taking work, inconveniences, and confrontations with themselves and life away from them is love. Does not learning to become an adult and assume responsibility often fall by the wayside in the process? Are not vital processes of maturation often prevented in this way? Do you actually understand that as love?
The consciousness of people in earlier times was not yet sufficient to recognize the many connections that today make it possible for you to form a more comprehensive picture of the events of creation. With few exceptions, they were not yet able to recognize the human being’s role in it and place it correctly. This also applied to My apostles and disciples; but they had a great, loving heart.
In the end, however, everything I give My children always comes down to enabling them to walk the way back to My heart with less effort and more joy, and to putting them in a position to learn and mature through their actions. Whoever does not have this as his goal resembles a student who can indeed recite the letters of the alphabet in the right order but makes no progress in writing and reading.

The effects of dark influence upon human beings differ, both in the period of time involved and in the nature of the consequences. Your ignorance of the precision with which the law of sowing and reaping operates beyond time and space makes it easy for darkness to cause you to ignore this truth or make you believe that a violation of the commandment of love, with all its many facets, has no consequences or only minor ones.
Truly, My sons and daughters, I tell you: My law of cause and effect works without error! It applies to every human being; it applied to Me too as Jesus of Nazareth. How else could I have been your example if I too had not had to struggle and fight?! I had to live love in order to teach it credibly. Which, incidentally, applies to everyone who wants to bring My love close to his fellow human beings.
After your theologians—influenced by the opposing forces—had already in the first centuries removed the so important cogwheel of sowing and reaping from the great mechanism of My law, the way was clear to drive now-ignorant people helplessly before them. Only very strong souls were able during the time of ignorance to preserve faith in My love and justice, even though they understood much of it poorly. Today no one need go through the world questioning any longer: whoever truly seeks will find all the answers he needs in order to let the image of a just and benevolent Father arise in his heart.
The lack of knowledge of a connection between what is done and what then happens as a consequence has led many to see the effects but be unable or unwilling to assign a cause to them. In your personal sphere this means recognizing a cause that has to do with you and your behavior. And even when a sense of it arises or knowledge is actually present, these impulses are not infrequently overlooked and unheard; usually out of fear that a closer examination would force you to recognize quite a bit about yourselves and corresponding wrong behavior. Or you take refuge in “chance.” Then the road to the idea of an unjust God is no longer far, and unbelief merely waits for an opportunity to take possession of human thought.
The seed—namely breaking out a single cogwheel—sprouted and brought as its harvest a lack of understanding of the great cosmic clockwork, together with the rejection of any kind of higher power. With this, knowledge of repeated embodiment of the human being was also lost. And instead of sound human reason and the use of the logic of the heart, many people were, and still are, content with the false answer of your leaders that they were not permitted to ask further questions at this point. One could not penetrate My mysteries anyway.
No creature is greater than its Creator. Therefore it is certainly correct that no being will ever be able to immerse itself in the depths of My being. But that does not mean I do not reveal Myself to My children far enough for them to recognize Me as love and justice and at the same time acknowledge that there is no contradiction or secretiveness in Me. On the contrary: on your way to Me, as you increase in radiance and consciousness, in capacity for love and wisdom, you will be introduced to the truths of My laws and My creation to a degree that is still absolutely incomprehensible to you now.
One reason, then, why you do not notice—or do not immediately notice—the connection between a cause and its effect lies in the interval of time between the two, although this interval need not always exist. Depending on necessity, the law may also come into effect very quickly.
If a consequence does not occur immediately, this can be an indication for you perhaps to reflect on what happened and—if you wish—to correct a mistake you made or clear up a misunderstanding before a small or large karma forms and burdens your soul. Both require insight and courage.
If self-knowledge is absent and you simply pass over what happened, then something occurs that the negative forces are only too glad to support: imperceptibly, because it happens step by step in the smallest doses, a repeatedly practiced way of acting becomes second nature. What was triggered by a correspondence, what was done out of anger or disappointment, bitterness or frustration, inertia or unwillingness, misunderstood love or whatever else, becomes “normality.” It finally becomes part of your nature, a habit, a character trait. It becomes a program, so to speak a rail on which once-acquired behavior runs automatically and is scarcely still under your control. This finally leads to its “belonging to you” in your own eyes and in the eyes of others. I am just like this!
In reality, My beloved, you are only like this at the moment. Still like this. In reality you are completely different. You were born as an individual for all eternity and therefore differ from everyone I have created—which applies to everyone. You are spirit, you are love, you are unlimited freedom, radiant light, and eternal life.
One of the greatest mistakes you can therefore make is to think and say: “I’m just like this!” Such a mistake blocks your inner development. With it you have signed a paper for this life that seals your own stagnation! And not a few in the invisible background will rub their hands and say: “Even if we cannot seduce this person into serious transgressions, we have at least achieved that his development of soul does not advance to the degree his soul desires.”
Certainly, the goal of darkness is to cause people to burden themselves with as much guilt as possible. With the majority of people, however, it does not succeed in this. That is why it is also quite content to prevent development of the soul. For then many souls, after their transition into the beyond, remain in subtle zones in which an attraction to matter still exists. They are therefore not yet lost to the opposing forces but continue to belong to the great host of the ignorant who can be influenced and guided. In a renewed incarnation, because of their past they do not possess the best starting conditions. For in the worlds beyond it is far more difficult to face challenges and acquire what should have been recognized and learned on earth. That, after all, was at least normally the reason for an incarnation.
For this reason your adversaries spend much time and effort delaying or preventing growth of the soul. And that is why it is so dangerous to adopt the opinion: “I’m just like this.”
Because this is so, because it is not only a matter of repeatedly admonishing you and showing you the consequences of obvious wrong behavior or a violation of My commandments, I have therefore placed before your eyes in such detail the dangers of failing to notice and retaining habits. I want you to direct your attention to this because here often lies the cause of failure even though you approached the tasks with good will. I want to make you sensitive to this sphere, which for many of My children represents an unknown and unrecognized brake on their way to Me.
What the seducers do not know is this: I have every possibility of moving a child to turn around—even if the turn happens quickly and spontaneously or step by step—when it shies away from the way to Me or rejects it, and with it Me. My law indeed leaves everyone his free will, but nevertheless it causes even the greatest sinner and denier one day to want again to take the place in his eternal home intended for him. And this by his own wish! This is grounded in My infinite love, from which the law of sowing and reaping also springs, even though many people do not yet see and understand it in this way. Sooner or later it causes everyone to confront himself, his circumstances, and the mistakes of his past. It thus helps him leave the prison he created for himself and reach the freedom for which he longs in the depths of his heart.
Allowing the effects of self-created causes to occur—that is, permitting the consequences—represents one aspect of My eternal love when, for lack of insight, another way is not willingly taken. It is just as much love as the unceasing helping hands and assistance experienced without exception by all who ask for them. I do not distribute My help arbitrarily, because that would be unjust. But I look at your motives. By this I mean your honesty, your good will, and your trust, just as much as your confidence and your willingness to want to do something differently from before. I therefore look into your heart, and according to what is found there—which also includes remorse—My incorruptible law works.
The honest effort to live the commandment of love for God and neighbor, and likewise My teachings you call the Sermon on the Mount, represents for all human beings and souls a possibility—the only possibility!—of freeing themselves from the law of cause and effect in which everyone is still bound to a different degree. It is the path I taught as Jesus of Nazareth: the path of love, understanding, and forgiveness, which spares you much. Without this path—that is, if you refuse insight and decision—your steps are often laborious and painful. For then the net in which you have entangled yourselves claims from you what it previously seemed to “give” you so generously and without asking anything in return.
I came into the world to loosen the fetters humanity had laid upon itself. I came because I saw the pain and the woe; but also because I recognized My children’s inability to rise by their own strength from deep darkness into the light. That is why I brought you the simple teaching of My love, because only love lived out can bring liberation.
I reopened the heavens. But the decision to enter through the door that has been open since then and return to the Father’s house is subject to your free will.

The fact that you are in the midst of an invisible war moving toward its climax is unknown to many, including those who honestly strive in their daily lives but repeatedly have to discover that despite the best intentions they constantly fall back into old faults. They do not understand what makes it so difficult for them to put their resolutions into practice permanently. Not infrequently this leads them to lose joy on their path. Then resignation often follows, an inward giving up: “If it does not lead to the desired success anyway, what are all my efforts for?” A falling back into old faults and habits is then not excluded.
The reason for such behavior is to be sought, on the one hand, in insufficient knowledge of spiritual laws and, on the other, in a false understanding of what My help—which I refuse no child—looks like.
A desired change is built on sand when it is carried merely by the wish that this or that circumstance might please change. Very few have given thought to why the word of your Scripture is so rarely fulfilled: “For whoever asks receives, and whoever seeks finds; and to whoever knocks, it will be opened.” Yet it is the truth without ifs or buts!
Is it not in many cases so that the goal is desired, but the path is not willingly walked? Or that the result is wanted or requested, but little is done, for example, to distance oneself from what, as one’s own contribution, has up to now prevented success? That one wants the outward circumstances improved but does not want to give up the benefit one has drawn and still draws from corresponding behavior?
If you look honestly at yourselves or sometimes listen to what people who mean well toward you tell you, you will discover that over time many things have become established that are incompatible with My commandment of love. Perhaps you will have to look twice or more before you notice something, for often it is the “little things” that have become taken for granted. But it is worth it. A little help:
An excess of activity belongs here just as much as inertia that creeps in unnoticed; closing one’s eyes just as much as know-it-all behavior and meddling; manipulation—in the smallest doses so that the other person will not notice it—just as much as indifference; relinquishing responsibility just as much as taking responsibility away from another; inconsistency just as much as hardness or severity; conformist behavior—“I want to be loved”—just as much as constant opposition; asceticism just as much as thoughtlessly giving in as soon as a temptation appears; being unable to say no just as much as closing oneself to the legitimate needs of others, and, and, and …
*
Even the best diagnosis is worthless without the right therapy. That is why in My enlightenment I never leave it at merely pointing out the intentions of darkness and its methods. I always offer you the solution, the way out, how you can free yourselves from the bonds. For if you give credence to My words, it will have become clear to you that these are fetters that have been laid upon you to make your way home more difficult.
You know My promise to come many, many steps toward you when you take only one step toward Me. Have you ever thought about what this word means? It is expressed figuratively, but it is by no means abstract. My support is as real as everything that takes place around you but is not perceived by you.
Most of you know that everything is energy; that even matter is nothing other than condensed energy. For everything you do you need energy: for your actions, your words, your thoughts, your ideas, your decisions—simply for everything. I am the primal source of all energy, the only perpetual-motion source in creation. Every creature can make use of this energy; it can also misuse it, but then the energy changes its character and takes on another vibration.
When you set something in motion outwardly, you were active inwardly beforehand. All your inner feelings and thoughts—and of course also your deeds—are energy and continually enter into contact with energies of like vibration. This is due to the law of attraction. For those from the subtle realms who are constantly around you, you are like an open book. This applies to your guardian angels and spiritual helpers just as much as to those who want to seduce you. Already in the initial stage of a consideration, correspondingly light or dark energies flow toward you, striving with the intention either to move you toward what is good or to reinforce your still-existing weaknesses and negative inclinations.
If you yield to the dark whisperings, you receive from that side energies for carrying out your intentions—even when these express themselves only in thought—so to speak impure, transformed-down energies. They may indeed satisfy your needs for the moment, but they take possession of part of you, including your thoughts. Your guardian angels by no means leave you alone in these moments; they too are at your side and send you energies to make you strong enough to resist the temptations. But because they respect your free will, they will have to withdraw a little when they see that you have allowed yourselves to be caught by the energies of the opposing side, which pays no respect whatsoever to your free will. With lies, deceit, and false promises it tries to get around this obstacle.
The creation of opportunities to sin against the commandment of love is initiated by darkness without any advance contribution on your part. Nor does the provision and supplying of the “energy of seduction” demand anything of you yet at this stage. The bill will be presented to you sometime later. You will have to pay it—unless you recognize beforehand that an easy and beautiful way was promised to you but you were led onto a very difficult and stony one. And unless you decide to leave it.
If your insight comes from an open and honest heart and leads to a decision against your previous behavior, the energy relationships reverse:
My share of the energy of love increases more and more; the influence of the opposing side becomes weaker. What I then do for you by comforting, building you up, and accompanying you corresponds, in meaning, to the hundred or thousand steps I come toward you when I see your outstretched hands asking for help. A single step toward Me is enough to trigger a whole series of activities of heaven in which your angels, helpers, and companions are involved.
Then My divine energy stands opposite the seducer’s energy of temptation. Then I confront him and say: “This is My child, upon whom I have laid My hand because it asked Me to. Your power ends here.”
*
I have now deepened one of My laws a little and explained to you what the invisible war is about in which you stand and in which you are a plaything of contrary forces. You now know the way in which they approach you in order to weaken you. But you also know the antidote, the measures of defense, which work all the more successfully the greater your effort to want to become free of the many bonds you have entered into, in most cases without knowing it. Whether, as I said at the beginning, you regard your path as long and arduous, or whether you now walk it in trust in My word and out of love for Me with relief and joy, depends on you.
If you make yourselves aware again and again that I dwell within you—and am therefore closer to you than your arms and legs—it will not be difficult for you to decide on a course toward home. Much will thereby change fundamentally and lastingly, because longing will then become the engine that brings you into My arms. But profound changes require insights, including insights about yourselves. This includes the realization that you, O human being, are nothing and can accomplish nothing out of yourselves alone.
Think wisely about My words. My love, the energy of the heavens, flows to you unceasingly and seeks—while respecting your free will—to move you to direct your steps into the light.
Amen
