Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, truly understanding something, anchoring it so deeply in the heart that it can serve as a foundation for conduct in everyday life, is something different from acquiring knowledge that is merely stored in the brain cells; knowledge that can indeed be called up at any time but has little or no influence on what you do and fail to do, on the shaping of your character, or on a purposeful life in the spirit of My commandments.
But I, your heavenly Father, am concerned that you set out toward your eternal home by recognizing connections and, from these realizations, making the corresponding decisions. Yet in order to grasp connections, formation of the heart and good will are required to a far greater degree than a polished intellect, which only too often and too quickly leads you into the dead ends of your ego. The logic of the heart I teach you is the instrument that helps you think, decide, and live independently and in personal responsibility.
For My human children, one of the greatest obstacles to believing in Me and walking their path through life at My hand is when, looking at their personal lives or at what is happening in your world, they discover that scarcely anywhere can the helping hand of a loving God be recognized. From this they conclude either that there can be no God, or that He is not love, or that He does not have His creation “under control.” This impression is intensified in your time, in which chaos, unrest, and discord are increasing rapidly.
But truly, I tell you, no assumption, no conclusion could be more false! Whoever thinks in this way, whoever carries doubt and unbelief in his mind and heart and rejects everything spiritual and divine, is missing in his reflections one—the decisive—piece of the mosaic which, when placed in the right position and considered without prejudice, makes the picture appear completely different. Such a person does not include in his consideration of events—which despite all appearances to the contrary resemble a clockwork mechanism operating absolutely smoothly—the central cogwheel called “cause and effect.”
In many cases he cannot include it at all because the forces of darkness removed this cogwheel from My teaching of love. It is indeed still contained in your Scripture as “Whatever a person sows, that he will reap,” but the true meaning is not taught; people therefore do not know it, and this ignorance turns them into spiritually blind people who wander about without understanding and keep bumping into things. Whoever calls for light and asks for enlightenment is offered, with the answer “a human being cannot penetrate these mysteries of God,” a small flickering candle that does not illuminate the spiritual darkness and whose flame goes out at the first light breath of wind.
The logic of the heart begins from the fact that I am love without ifs or buts! Upon this eternally unshakable foundation a way of thinking, a consciousness, can be built that answers every question—provided that, as the word itself says, you remain on the path of “logic,” even when answers result that have not previously been considered in this way.
I am the highest intelligence of infinite creation—which you can indeed hear and read but cannot grasp. I am! It may therefore be assumed that I do not act arbitrarily one way here and another way there, speak one way now and the opposite at other times. My creation is built upon fundamental principles, upon eternally valid laws that allow the clockwork of My creation to operate forever without the slightest defect and without error. How could it be otherwise, when even every small community—not to mention great cities and states—needs order in order to regulate coexistence.
My law is grounded in My love; My law is love. Everything that lives—in the material, in the subtle, and in the highest vibration of the heavens—is embedded in this law. Everything. Everything was called into life out of love; everything carries My eternal love within it. You too. Should I, who am omnipotence and have every possibility, not be capable of preserving what I have created or bringing back to Me what has moved away from Me?
The law of sowing and reaping is interpreted by your church leaders to mean that after the death of the body the soul experiences what the human being placed into it, his soul, during the course of his life. Then he experiences purgatory, hell, or heaven and sometime a judgment—which I am supposed to preside over—that decides the further destiny of the soul. Thus arose the false teaching of a single life; the truth about the possibility of renewed incarnations was and is suppressed by it. In this interpretation there is no room for reflecting on when a person sowed what he is harvesting in this life as something unpleasant. Thus every answer to the corresponding questions is missing as well, so that in their ignorance I appear to many as an unjust authority not worth believing in; much less worth living with—with Me.
The logic of the heart, if you follow it, must tell you that it cannot be this way!
I lose none of My children; I punish none of My children; I frighten none of My children. I do not threaten, I do not force, I do not forbid. I put no child under pressure; I do not keep it “small and submissive” merely so that out of falsely understood obedience it will follow My laws.
I have another principle of education. My law enables everyone to do or refrain from doing whatever he wishes, whether in heaven, in the astral realms, or in matter. For everyone has absolutely free will. But My law also enables Me sooner or later to move every human being and every soul to set out again on the way home, and to do so by his own free decision—ultimately out of love for his true home: out of love for Me.
I want to work out with you how I accomplish this so that this truth, as I said at the beginning, falls into your hearts. Only in this way will it become an unshakable foundation of your trust in Me.

If you agree with what has just been said, then let us take the next step in thought: time and space arose through the Fall. I and My spiritual creation live in eternity. This at the same time means that everything that has been created and still will be—for “creating” is a process that knows no end—carries eternal life within itself and therefore can never dissolve. Thus you too carry immortality within yourselves.
This does not mean that the outer covering—the human body a spirit being assumes for the duration of an incarnation—is likewise immortal. The outer is subject, like everything material, to decay; the spirit being incarnated within it is not. After the dissolution of its body and its various soul coverings it will again become what it was and will forever be, namely radiant, powerful, and glorious light and consciousness, spirit from My Spirit: My child, whom I love infinitely!
At incarnation this heavenly being loses the knowledge and memory of its origin and its true greatness and power. But because My light burns within every creature—My light is your life; without My light you would not exist—there is also an eternal, indestructible connection between Me and you, no matter how far a child moves away from Me. My flame of the energy of love within the human being does diminish, however, when despite better inner feeling and knowledge the person remains unwilling to see and gives priority in his life to his own law. But My light cannot go out, for that would mean I would lose My child. And I do not lose what I love.
I do indeed see you also as the human child you presently are, but My chief attention is directed toward the beautiful spiritual being that is within you—that you are!—and that has put on a material garment, usually only for the duration of a few decades. Since it is not the human being who will return to heaven but his spirit, the point is to give every form of help and create the best conditions so that the return of the spirit being becomes possible.
The human soul is the subtle connecting link between the material body and the spirit. Just as the body envelops the soul, the soul envelops the immortal, unburdenable, and perfect spirit. This is approximately comparable to a cherry: skin = body, flesh = soul, pit = spirit. For the duration of the incarnation the spirit is bound to body and soul.
Every change toward what is good, positive, and loving has effects on the structure of the soul, its vibration, its subtle condition. Conversely, this applies in the same way to everything selfish, negative, and lacking in love.
After the soul separates from the body—a process you in your ignorance call “death”—it merely “changes sides.” It passes through the gate invisible to your eyes between the material and subtle world, which will become its future living space. But it is not some person or thing that now finds a new home: it is you! You have merely laid aside your material covering and now, as a spirit being of subtle nature, enter another world. Which world this will be is regulated by My law of attraction. Your new home corresponds to your old inner home—that is, to the condition of your soul. It corresponds to what you felt inwardly, thought, spoke, and did or failed to do during your lifetime. You are in your world. Error excluded.
Whoever has striven to live love finds a dwelling place already very filled with light, one that gives a sense of the beauty and freedom of the heavens. But there are also other worlds that are rather cold and dark. Between them lie numerous gradations; everyone finds his way to where his inner being draws him.
The situation of most people resembles that of the prodigal son in the example I gave you as Jesus of Nazareth. They too will at some point decide that they want to return home. How soon such a decision is made and how quickly the way home is then begun is subject to the human being’s freedom of will.
My desire is to be able as soon as possible to take all My children into My arms again. But this is possible only when a corresponding development of soul has been initiated, which results in a soul, after separation from its body, reaching higher realms. From there it can then develop further without once again having to take the path through another earthly life or perhaps several. The sooner, then, a process of soul-development is initiated and undertaken, the sooner the journey home begins. The sooner your longing, still slumbering within you or already awakened, to be with Me again is fulfilled.
After these explanations it will not be difficult for you to insert the next “mosaic piece of logic” into the overall picture that is slowly taking shape.

I see your eternal life and act accordingly. As a rule you see only one life, often even only one moment, especially when it contains for you an event you did not expect or that causes you to fall out of your harmony. But even when you know about reincarnation and your immortality, it is not always easy for you to place correctly what destiny presents to you; and to place it correctly in time, before it settles in your thoughts as apparent arbitrariness on My part or as something completely inappropriate—not to say unjust—makes you insecure or causes you to doubt.
My beloved sons and daughters, such situations arise when and because in most cases you do not see or know the connections—even though sometimes you could already recognize them if you were honest with yourselves. And they make things difficult for you when this has not yet become your deepest conviction: God makes no mistake!
My word today is intended to help you anchor this inner attitude so firmly within yourselves that you can withstand the storms of life that will repeatedly rage around you. But not merely because I tell you so; rather because you have recognized the truth within it. Truth lived out makes you strong and free.
I spoke of My law enabling Me to move every human being and every soul to set out again on the way home while preserving free will. How would you proceed if, as father or mother, such a task were given to you? How would you educate your children—assuming the appropriate age and maturity—to insight and right conduct without ever forbidding, threatening, or punishing anything?
You know the answer, even if you sometimes find it difficult to display the necessary consistency in applying this method of education. I exercise this consistency, but it is a help to human beings and souls only because it goes hand in hand with My unconditional and selfless love. The answer is: the one who caused something must experience “in his own body” what effects his actions have on others, on his surroundings, and also on himself. Only in this way is it assured that he will finally of his own free will display different behavior. When? That remains left to his free will.
Even though this example, like many others, cannot be transferred completely to what My love provides for My children, it nevertheless explains the principle of operation: What you sow, you will reap! Allowing the harvest—provided insight is refused and a change of behavior rejected—to take place in the knowledge that ultimately everything will turn toward the good is love. For it moves the one whose present actions still take place outside My law to come to insight and bring about a change of character that makes him more mature, more understanding, more tolerant, more forbearing, more agreeable, and much more. In short: to initiate a change that brings him a small or large step closer to the love I taught and lived before you as Jesus. He has become a “better” person; his soul breathes more freely, and the path that still lies before human being and soul shows clearly easier and brighter stretches.
Do not forget in this: I look at your eternal life. I do not place the emphasis, as you do, on this one present life. I see the whole and the greater picture. Everything that serves your development of soul—while I do not lose sight of the well-being and healing of the human being—is supported by Me. And not only that: Because I am the great One who sets the points, at the proper time I initiate what is important for the development of the soul, even when it runs counter to the human being’s present ideas, wishes, and goals. For it is not the human being who returns to Me, but his spiritual being.
You say so easily and often that the earth is a school of life. You are right, but are you also ready to follow this thought to its conclusion and concern yourselves with what results from it? If your incarnation is prepared with your guardian spirit and you follow his recommendations, you go to earth with the desire to learn in the new life what you still lack or do not yet do so well. This also includes meeting people with whom something connects you positively, but also negatively.
Especially in families and close circles of friends people often come together who are to learn with and from one another. This explains the often differing consciousness, for in most cases something is learned only by recognizing oneself and one’s behavior in and through the other person, by “rubbing against” him. You see: everything is directed toward initiating a process of soul-development that the human being is to carry out on earth so that his soul in the beyond can master the stretch of the path still before it with less effort and be welcomed again in the heavens as soon as possible.
These earthly learning processes are not always easy to accept and master, for it depends on the size of the learning task—which in turn depends on the soul-debt brought along—on the human being’s insight and his willingness to regard life as a school at all. Learning tasks can also include making good what was caused in previous lives, or working off or enduring what cannot be transformed and redeemed in another way. A major theme for many of you is releasing bonds of every kind. More or less all of you have bound yourselves or allowed yourselves to be bound. Aggression and hatred bind you to other people just as much as lack of independence or refusal to assume responsibility. But “love” too can be a bond when it creates dependence or is possessive.
In all these conscious or unconscious efforts to learn, even when they are often not recognized as such, I am the One who in many ways gives the necessary strength and stands helpfully at your side. To what extent this is possible for Me depends on the human being’s willingness to draw from what he has recognized the right conclusions for future, different behavior. My law not only brings the learning task to the human being; it is equally intent on helping him master it. For only a task that has been solved brings you closer to My heart, while My mercy becomes effective where and when I see the good will, even if because of various circumstances the person can no longer put it into practice to the desired degree.
Not every soul is ready to prepare its incarnation with its guardian spirit. Many souls unwilling to see tend again toward earth because, on account of their vibration, they are still strongly attracted from there and because these souls still want to live their former negative qualities. Such incarnations are not in My will, yet I accept the decisions. But My law confronts these souls—and truly, I tell you, their number is beyond counting—during their incarnation with the effects of causes they previously set. This does not happen out of retaliation or punishment, as is often attributed to Me, but solely for the purpose of leading the souls to self-knowledge.

Many of you know that no energy is lost. It can be transformed but not destroyed. Nor does it dissolve into nothingness by itself. With this you hold in your hands a building block that many lack for understanding. Now add that everything is energy, and it will not be difficult for you to take another step in thought:
If everything is indelible energy, and if in addition the law of attraction operates precisely, then between the one who caused something and what his way of acting produced there exists an invisible but nevertheless extremely real relationship that is not dissolved even by so-called death. “Originator and product” form an energetic community, and the product acts upon its “creator” until it is transformed through My love and mercy and loses its influence. This requires the free decision of the one who caused it, which must be preceded by self-knowledge, remorse, and striving to make amends. Otherwise I would be forcing him, which I never do; at most, through his circumstances in life and his destiny I move him to reflect on his situation and a turning back.
It has happened to all of you that when you hear of villainy and atrocities, you have thought something similar or the same should happen to the perpetrator or perpetrators. Hardly any of you can absolve yourselves of this reaction—humanly understandable though it may be, yet still not within the law. What happens next? Is everything forgotten, everything erased merely because time and forgetting have passed over it? Finally, after years, decades, centuries, or even millennia of life in the beyond, the perpetrator or perpetrators incarnate again. What residual guilt is still present and to be borne depends on insight into having burdened oneself with guilt. If such insight does not exist, the law of attraction will ensure that the harvest becomes wholly or partly visible and perceptible for the one who caused it in the new life.
If no change of character takes place in the new earthly life either, the wheel will continue turning, and it will do so until—at some point—insight and turning back occur. If My love did not offer such a soul the possibility of incarnation, it would be bound, without a sense of time and without the possibility of changing its condition, to its place in the beyond, its past, its images, its feelings of guilt, and possibly its pains.
But in this way My love intervenes by giving the soul the opportunity to work its way step by step upward out of the valley of tears it created for itself. In doing so My divine love gives it the decisive strength and is the help without which liberation could not succeed.
*
I bring what has been said down to a simple denominator: A period of distance from God is corrected by Me through a period of insight that follows at some point. If you make this truth your own, it will transform your view of My apparent injustice into deep understanding. In this way you work out for yourselves a foundation that allows your trust to grow and makes you inwardly strong.
The Fall, which you also call the fall of the angels, is of such enormous dimensions that many aeons will still pass before everything that once left the heavens in self-will has returned to the heavens. It has many consequences invisible to you, which you nevertheless repeatedly notice in a few aspects of your life. Yet this is no reason for resignation, nor for burdening yourselves with heavy thoughts because of it.
Love is the strongest power; it will be victorious and bring everything home. Remember this when you look into the world, when you look at a scenario that frightens you or causes you to doubt. Everything that once left the eternal home and is not yet home again is nevertheless on the way back. Through your effort you can help make your planet brighter from day to day, even if outwardly it does not—yet—appear so. Through your life you can and should bear witness that My divine principle of education is pure love, if and because you yourselves have experienced this—not only through unexpected blows of fate but through mastering them with My help. And that within it there is no place for injustice and arbitrariness, not even when adversity or something unwelcome happens to a human being.
With knowledge of reincarnation all doubts dissolve and all questions answer themselves. But from the removal of the so important cogwheel of cause and effect you also recognize how exceedingly skillfully darkness proceeds, in many cases without anything being noticed. Be vigilant.
I bless you, My great and strong sons and daughters. I am and remain with you in every situation of your life. I am especially near you with My strength and My assistance when you ask Me for it—of your own free will, because love for Me is growing within you, and not out of fear that otherwise, “as sinners,” you would be unworthy of My love.
Amen
