Divine Revelation

My beloved sons and daughters, how often you have heard and read that God is love! How often I Myself have told you: “I am all-embracing love”! And yet in the great majority of cases this knowledge has not led to drawing the necessary — the right! — conclusions from this realization. You are too occupied with getting through your daily routine and arranging your life so that, as far as possible, you manage without too many difficulties. Yet rightly understanding My love, and the trust and conduct that follow from it, would be the key to directing many things — basically everything — into paths that make you step by step happier and freer from worry.

I therefore want to place a few simple truths before you and consider with you the conclusions that follow from them. And if you are open-hearted, you will discover that it is not so difficult to penetrate a little into the “mysteries of God.” All that is needed is good will, and there must be the desire to come nearer to Me.

The subject of “love” embraces many aspects, and yet it is not complicated. Take as your basis that I am love; and that without ifs or buts, in a measure, fullness, and depth that no creature can ever comprehend. Everything I have created and continue to create carries in principle the same love within it, though not in the dimension in which it exists in Me; for even though everything created has come forth from Me and is sustained by Me, it nevertheless is and remains a creature of the One from whom and out of whom it comes — from and out of Me. It is not equal to God, but it carries many divine qualities within itself; and with a strength whose full extent you will recognize and grasp with amazement and almost disbelief only when you are with Me again.

The so-called Fall, or fall of the angels, brought about by Sadhana — who later called herself Lucifer (1) — and her followers, is the actual key to understanding all that happened and is happening. Sadhana wanted to be like God; she was not satisfied with the role of “merely a creature” and staged the “rebellion.”

In brief: In doing so she violated the commandment of love. Because she lacked insight and did not abandon what she was doing despite repeated admonitions, the spiritual law of repulsion came into effect. She and her followers had to leave the realm of pure love, the heavens. Thereupon realms arose outside the heavens — around which I placed a wall of light that those who had fallen could not penetrate — realms that were subtle in nature but did not and do not possess the high vibration of the heavens. These were the worlds in which the fallen beings would henceforth live.

Because a large part of those who turned away did not abandon their rebellion, they “fell” deeper and deeper. The realms that formed in this way became poorer and poorer in energy and lower in vibration until, at the deepest point of the Fall, condensation reached such a degree that matter formed. Your scientists have long since discovered that matter basically does not exist as such, but that everything is energy.

Knowledge of this event forms the basis for everything that happened afterward: the origin of the earth, the development of life on earth, including human beings, the downward development of human souls, My attempts through prophets to move human beings to turn back, and finally the incarnation of the aspect of My love in the human being Jesus. Through him I brought love into the world by having him teach it and live it. At his death on the cross the so-called “Christ spark” flowed as additional energy into every soul and every human being. Each of you carries it within and, if you wish, can “work” with it. Whoever does so works with love, with My love, the strongest power in the universe.

You read and speak of My having created the human being. Let us think about this together:

Had there been no Fall, there would have been no realms outside heaven, therefore no matter and no life upon nonexistent matter. Everything would still be in unity. There would be “only” the heavens with everything that lives within them!

If, therefore, it was not My will that the angel Sadhana turn against Me, it also cannot have been My will and intention to create realms outside the heavens, nor the earth, nor beings living upon it.

I permitted this, which is something quite different.

Because I never lose anything I once created (2), those who had fallen were given the possibility of gradually working their way “upward” again. For from the depth in which they found themselves, a return was no longer possible for them. They had moved too far away and were utterly poor in energy.

With the formation of the earth, a possibility opened to them — I opened it to them — to begin their return, if those among them who had gained insight wished to do so. But for this, conditions first had to be created on earth so that, through the various stages of evolution, a being could finally arise — a human being, though one who still had very little in common with what you today understand by “being human” — into whom those who had fallen could incarnate as souls, that is, as spiritual beings. Your Scripture found the designation “Adam and Eve” for this, which led many to the false assumption that I had created Adam and Eve as human beings and had also created a material world.

Once again: I permitted and supported this out of grace and mercy in order to bring back also My children who had turned away, to whom all My love still belonged and still belongs, and so that one day I could embrace them again as well. When the “mission of bringing back” has been completed because everyone is again with Me and united with Me, there will no longer be an earth or realms outside heaven. They will then have gradually dissolved again, and unity in the eternally pure and bright heavens will have been restored.

The efforts of darkness resulted in even willing souls having great and very great difficulties maturing spiritually through a corresponding earthly life. Therefore through My prophets of the Old Covenant I finally gave human beings commandments intended to enable them to develop. This concerned above all order, which was not being lived as a foundation. But even this did not bring the desired success; instead it only spurred the forces of darkness all the more to expand their rule on earth, so that the danger of decline and dissolution existed.

At this point I intervened again and, in word and deed, brought human beings the element of love they lacked through Jesus of Nazareth. For if wrongdoing arises through a violation of love, there can be only one remedy for removing that wrongdoing from the world again: active love.

In other words: Only love lived out can heal again what was caused by disregarding the commandment of love. This applies always and fundamentally and is a law of My creation standing above everything. In this way the wounds created by the Fall are also healed. In this way everything heals.

Love — and nothing else! It may be that — according to your present consciousness — you still need certain things beyond this that help you on your way to Me. Allow it. Do not be fanatical and force nothing. Let things mature within you. But the nearer you come to Me, the sooner you will be able to recognize and accept this truth as right.

Human beings in Jesus’ time had scarcely any conception of a God, which also applies to humanity today. God is everything, God is origin, God is source, God is the central power of all — all correct, but how are you to build an inner relationship with a God if you merely see or describe Him as “origin” or “source”? “Origin or Source, I love You” somehow does not sound genuine.

Therefore through Jesus I brought Myself closer to human beings as Father and thereby as something they could imagine. With a father one can communicate, one can come to him and pour out one’s heart, one can love him. But one must not make the mistake of limiting him to the person of a father. I am everything; I am Mother to you too and much more. I am your life! I am the One who lives within you and sustains you by giving you, without interruption from the moment of your creation as a spiritual being and for all eternity, My life-love-energy. In this respect, as your “Father” I am personally there for you and, in impersonal form, also the Creator and Sustainer of everything that is and always will be in the invisible and visible realms.

That was the reason I spoke of the Father in Jesus: to create for you a counterpart you could understand and live with! And whom you could meet as love and in love.

Therefore Jesus could say: “You shall love God, your Father, and your neighbor as yourself.” In doing so he also spoke of the way, the only way, to walk the journey home successfully. Everything else consists of aids. If you wish, examine in a quiet hour whether you really — still — need them …

In the short form of this commandment of love, which Jesus explained in detail on many occasions during his three years of teaching through numerous examples, something is not expressed that leads some of you to an assumption which, on closer inspection, proves not entirely accurate. It concerns the words: “… as yourself.”

“But I do love myself,” many of you will say. And on an examination that does not go very deep, that will surely be true. But let us think about it:

I, your Father, love you without reservation. Let this word fall into you: “without reservation.” That means: No matter what you think, do, or fail to do, even if it is directed against love, nothing changes My love for you. I still love the angels from the Fall without any restriction, therefore without reservation. This is something very difficult for the great majority of you to imagine because what is human still plays into everything you see and — often without wanting to — judge.

But you should know that My love is not only boundless; it also does not depend on how a child behaves. If you wish, anchor this fundamental truth very deeply in your heart: Whatever I, who am presently living here as a human being, may do, I am loved with all my inadequacies! This certainty can be a very great help to you on your path. It does not mean that conduct not corresponding to My commandment of love is all right or, depending on what it involves, remains without consequences. You live within the law of cause and effect. But it changes nothing about My love for you.

For you human beings it is a high demand to grow more and more into My love. But on your journey home this task will be placed before you again and again, until with My help, or the help of Christ and of your heavenly companions, you begin to accept and practice it. To love without reservation is therefore a task facing every human being, toward one’s neighbor and toward oneself as well.

And now, under this aspect, try once again to give yourselves an honest answer to the question: “… as yourself.” Do you already love yourself as you are? With all the weaknesses and faults you still have? Can you already accept yourself as you presently are — still are! — without thinking little of yourself or regarding yourself as inferior or even unworthy?

If you are not yet succeeding as you perhaps wish, then come inwardly to Me and ask Me for help. It is an important prerequisite for both the health of your soul and your physical health that you learn to love yourselves from the heart. Rightly understood, this kind of self-love has nothing whatsoever to do with selfishness. It is even a prerequisite for being able to love your neighbor. For how can you dislike a quality in yourself yet tolerate it in your neighbor …?

If you initiate this process within yourself because you have recognized the correctness of My words, then you will become free and freer. Look forward to it. For it does not mean that you approve your weaknesses and faults and thereby “fix them in place,” perhaps according to the motto: That’s just how I am! When you look at yourself, always add the little magic word “still”: I am still like this. Which means that you have set about changing something here. And then look forward to the fact that sooner or later, with My help, you will succeed in this change. Even this joyful anticipation contributes as positive energy to seeing yourself from now on in a different light:

I am loved. I am able to love myself too and in this way learn still better to love my neighbor — or at least, on the way there, first to let him be as he is without evaluating or condemning him and his conduct. On this basis love can then also grow.

Perhaps for some the words of Jesus will now become understandable: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” What I taught through Jesus was and is the truth, and it is the only way to find one’s way back to the Father’s house. But here too darkness has had a hand in things and in many interpretations twisted the meaning of this saying, so that fanaticism, dogmas, and the defamation, persecution, and destruction of those who think differently were the consequences.

“No one comes to the Father except through Me” means: “No one comes to the Father who does not live love,” which ultimately will show itself in its original and pure form as love without reservation.

The division of creation and the origin of the realms outside heaven were brought about by disregard for the universally valid commandment of love. They will be undone again by love lived out, and unity will be restored, regardless of whether those who caused the division recognize and acknowledge this. The law of cause and effect applies to them too and will bring them to insight — time plays no role with Me.

For you whom I can reach with My words, what is decisive is that you recognize, and put this realization into practice in your lives according to your possibilities, that love is the all-decisive power of change. This applies also to each individual in his personal life. Apart from the fact that love lived out changes him himself, his effort — and that of all who live similarly and mean it seriously — helps positively influence the process of transformation.

In this, learning to love yourselves unconditionally will be a great help. Do not waste a thought either, as unfortunately happens far too often with many, on whether you may be fallen beings, whether you therefore took part in the fall of the angels and are now incarnated in order to work off burdens or perhaps make restitution.

For one thing, I repeat Myself: I love everyone equally! From that point of view it therefore makes no difference whether you are from “above” or from “below.” So put such thoughts aside altogether.

For another: Consider what is beginning to unfold in these so-called end times. Darkness has taken the field with a great host of its followers in order to make chaos complete and initiate a provisional destruction. Now put yourselves, as well as you already can, into the inner feeling of your brothers and sisters who are already in the light or on the bright path toward it. They know very well what is approaching. They see much more, much deeper, and much farther. If you already carry selfless love within you, would you simply watch your brothers and sisters on earth be influenced, harassed, and enslaved by the dark forces? Could you think you would rather remain in the light because it is more beautiful and safer there?

Unthinkable! If you thought that way, you would not be in the light …

I tell you that especially in your time a vast number of spirit beings from the heavens and from zones near heaven are incarnated in order to stand by their brothers and sisters on earth. As you would put it, they “stood in line” to obtain their place for an incarnation. And countless others are still waiting for their incarnation. Because they have learned to love selflessly, they accept the risks always connected with an incarnation. If you wish, feel within yourselves and you will recognize the truth in My words: despite all the increasing malice, much good is shining through more and more, though it is not always recognizable at first glance. But My disciples do not proclaim their intentions and their task from the rooftops. They work more in quietness, and yet they are there.

Do you know where you come from? You do not need to know. Simply work as well as you can. Then love is at your side.

My beloved sons and daughters, I have revealed something fundamental to you. It is meant to strengthen you, to give you courage. Internalize the fact that love lives within you, so that you need only close your eyes to be with it — with Me. Your free will, which I never touch, decides whether and in what form you include this love in your daily life through action. With Me, I emphasize yet again, it will be easier for everyone than if he tries without Me. But this changes nothing about My love for each one.

Amen
