Divine Revelation
Heaven has truly opened, and I am in your midst. And once again I have brought with Me many souls who long for the word of heaven, as well as many of your friends from the purely spiritual worlds.
Whenever and wherever My own gather in My Spirit, a pillar of light arises that attracts many souls. Some are curious souls who simply want to see what is happening there—in that moment, in that place—but many of those who first come only out of curiosity have their eyes opened, and they understand. Then their guardian angels can guide them onward.
So it is today as well, and therefore you are not the only ones listening to My word.
In these days you are celebrating Easter, and wherever people who call themselves Christians gather, My suffering and My resurrection are remembered. Yet suffering is often given greater weight, too great a weight, which then obscures the view of what actually happened—something the word “resurrection” describes only inadequately.
The word “redemption” likewise remains abstract as long as it has no practical consequences in your life. For resurrection and redemption also mean that a change was brought about through Me, and that it must be—and, whether they know it or not, is—the goal of all human children likewise to bring about a change in and within themselves, as I explained to you in detail at one of your recent meetings.
Many shrink from the work connected with this; indeed, they do not even know it. They do not know of the necessity of this inner work, which brings change with it, and therefore they look too often at My suffering. But you who know about it should direct your gaze forward.
I will give you a small example:
Look, the Fall will one day in the distant future be completed, and even My last child will pass through the Rose Gate and enter the heavens again. Truly, I tell you, there will be rejoicing, there will be a celebration such as the heavens have never known! The time of suffering brought by the Fall will remain only a faint memory; but all your—our—shared powers are directed toward a future life in love and freedom.
And so it should be with you as well. Never lose sight of the goal, the return to My Father’s heart. The danger of doing so becomes all the greater the more your gaze is directed toward past suffering.
In Me there is only life, and whether you dwell in matter, in the subtle realms, or in the consciousness of the heavens—it is always only life. Even the words you use when a soul leaves matter again bear witness to the heaviness of your thinking and thus to the ignorance of many of My children: you speak of “death,” you speak of someone having “died,” and you often shape the outward circumstances, for example through black clothing, in keeping with the melancholy of your feelings. Once again I tell you: there is only life. And if instead of saying someone died you used the wording “this brother or this sister has gone back again”—or correspondingly at a birth, “one of our brothers or sisters has come to us for a time”—your statement would take on an entirely different tone. It would not reinforce your fears of so-called death, but would bear witness that those who speak this way know of eternal life in Me.
In My last revelation at this place, I explained to you that you are never alone, even if you believe you are simply because your senses do not perceive the invisible worlds; and that you are constantly surrounded by beings and corresponding fields of energy, not only by good spirits and energies but just as much by those who want to disturb your efforts and, if possible, bring you down.
I want to deepen My statements a little further so that in these aspects too you can look behind the scenes and, in doing so, come to know yourselves better; for you must know yourselves in order to initiate the changes in and upon yourselves that are necessary if you are to take further steps toward Me.
When a person is harassed by evil spirits or has been possessed by them, this is—at least in many cases—obvious, and you then speak of demons or dark beings who influence such a person’s actions. In doing so, you forget that the immediate presence of such negative spirits is not at all necessary in order to seduce people. The energy they send out is enough. And for this too I will give you an example:
You do not have to live right next to a nuclear power plant in order to receive the electricity produced there. You can receive this energy even when hundreds or thousands of kilometers lie between you and the place where the electricity is generated. Likewise, you do not have to be harassed or possessed by a demon in order to be exposed to negative energies. Negative energies, like positive and luminous ones, are constantly around you, as I told you last time; and—according to the law that like attracts like—they try to influence those whose vibration corresponds to theirs.
You all know the term “vibration.” Today I want to use another one to make the whole process even clearer to you. Many decades ago, one of your scientists coined the saying that the microbe is nothing, but “the milieu is everything.” This means that a bacterium is drawn to the milieu that corresponds to it. If the milieu changes, the bacterium cannot maintain itself there or cannot become active in the first place. If the breeding ground is unsuitable, it finds no opportunity to develop.
All of you have a soul-spiritual milieu. By “spiritual” here I do not mean your indestructible spirituality, your divine inheritance, My source of life within you, but rather your intellect, your thinking—a way of thinking that directly and constantly influences the condition of your soul. That is why in this case I use the expression “your soul-spiritual milieu.”
What is this milieu that characterizes each of you individually? It is the present ground of your soul, your present nature, your present basis. It is what you have developed, or what you have allowed to develop into what it is at this moment. Certainly this milieu can change for a short time, either positively or negatively. But these are not changes that reach the substance of your milieu. Nor are you protected merely because and whenever you say a prayer, just as you are not immediately endangered merely because something negative enters your thoughts or words. More is required for that—that is, for a fundamental and lasting change.
Taking My name upon your lips does not at the same time mean knowing Me, loving Me, and living with Me. Examples from the recent and distant past show you that the milieu is decisive for which forces act upon a person, not what that person presents outwardly. Put differently: it is not the packaging that counts, but the content.
The negative forces that are constantly seeking to disturb all people who strive toward God, and especially My messengers of light, and to hinder them in their development, see more deeply. They see the milieu within a person and, according to the law of attraction, can become active wherever they encounter forces of a similar kind. They are not deceived by attractive packaging—that is, by beautiful words—but see the condition of the soul. They know: the milieu is everything, and therefore they also know in which people, and at what point, they can attack successfully.
You now understand why I speak again and again of self-knowledge and of changing one’s nature.
If you want to gain clarity about yourselves, do not look at your packaging; look deeper. You may now ask yourselves or Me: “How do I recognize my milieu?” And I tell you: “Look at what you attract. Look at what acts upon you in your life, what you occupy yourself with, what makes it difficult for you to carry out your good intentions.”
If you have already gone a good distance on your path with Me, then, to give one example, you have laid aside your fears and worries; your haste and impatience have become markedly less or have disappeared. Therefore energies can no longer act upon you—in the figurative sense: the bacterium no longer has access—that are still capable of triggering fear and worry, haste and impatience in other people.
Do you now understand why it is so important to recognize yourself in your depths? And then, with this insight, to make a decision: “Do I want to change my milieu? Do I want to take this to my Lord and God, to my beloved brother, Jesus Christ, and accept the sacrifice He took upon Himself through His incarnation, using the power He brought to bring about the necessary changes?”
I tell you, My beloved, if you come to Me again and again, sincerely, full of longing and full of love, then your milieu changes, the vibration of your soul becomes different, your radiance becomes different, and the forces that could still act upon you weeks and months ago can no longer do so. They will have to wander about and seek new victims, people who, because of the milieu they themselves have created, are ready to succumb to the whisperings of the opposing side. But you have become strong, and everything that has burdened you until now, everything that has occupied your thoughts—fears about the future and much more—all of this will fall away from you, and you will move into the freedom that is your inheritance. At the latest then you will understand what My resurrection and My redemption truly mean for My human children.
No area of your life is exempt from this fact that the milieu is everything. I will use another example because you have already spoken about this subject as well. You know that it is My desire to speak with My children directly and on familiar terms. And I rejoice when a child gains the insight within that this is possible and when the desire awakens within that child to enter into this communication with Me.
And now, My beloved, comes a “but”: here too it is true that the milieu is everything! The desire to speak with Me and to hear Me within is legitimate, but take care that this desire does not drive you or even arise out of curiosity. Speak rather of a willingness to communicate with Me when the right time has come for you, and prepare yourselves for it.
You know the biblical saying: “Seek first the kingdom of God, and everything else will be added to you.” This also applies to dialogue with Me. Make sure that the necessary conditions exist within you. Do so with the awareness that if your desire to hear Me within becomes too prominent or rests on a wrong motivation, then the milieu is prepared for forces that do not come from My pure Spirit.
I want to give you an image for this as well, so that you can place what I have just told you in its proper context. If a father who owns a factory tells his ten-year-old son that he wants him one day to take over the management, and the son joyfully says “yes,” this at the same time means that through appropriate study and subsequent practical experience the son must first create within himself the prerequisites for being able to assume this high office and high responsibility in full awareness. No ten-year-old will sit down at a boardroom table and seriously believe he can take part in the deliberations. He must have the necessary maturity. If you transfer this image to dialogue with Me, that maturity need not express itself in academic study or years of preparation, but it certainly must express itself in deeply trusting and fully conscious inner feeling and thought, and in corresponding effort and action.
No example is completely exact, but you know what I mean: the prerequisites that must be present are your deep love for Me and your longing to learn to love Me and your neighbor selflessly. For this, however, My beloved children, you must know yourselves and your milieu, and in examining your intention to seek communication with Me you must be deeply honest with yourselves. You—and this applies equally to those who guide you—must learn to see, must, if possible, look behind even your obvious motives, and should discover there only a pure, sincere longing for Me. It may still be quite childlike, as befits a loving child in relation to its father: above all humble, but also trusting, wanting nothing of itself, surrendered, willing to learn, expecting nothing—simply childlike.
These serious words of Mine are spoken out of My love, to point out to you the dangers that exist if you misunderstand My desire to speak with you. It remains My great longing; but let it be your great longing to open up My kingdom within you, and then trust that everything will be given to you at the right time. Brothers and sisters who have already been walking the path with Me seriously for some time can help you in this. But they too know that with this task they have assumed a great responsibility.
I open My arms wide and enfold you and all the souls present in the mantle of My love. Live in the awareness that I—love—let all strength flow to you, that I wait for you, that I am the light that shines toward you. Amen.
Divine Revelation
For this is why love took birth into the flesh 2,000 years ago: to show its suffering children who walk this earth how they can find again and walk the way back to their eternal home—from which they came. I—love—through My life taught human beings the way of love, the only way there is to return to the Father’s house.
My suffering as Jesus ended on Golgotha, that hill where the enemies of love, who did not know what they were doing, crucified My body. Yet, My beloved brothers and sisters, what does “Golgotha” mean for you? Is it not meant to be a symbol for everyone likewise to take up his cross and walk the path of purification from all that is human? So that you may rise as the pure spiritual being that is alive in each of you—in you, children of this earth, and in you, children from the spheres of the worlds beyond.
I, your brother, the love of the Father, left My body; I passed through the realms of darkness, and terror went through the forces of darkness, for they had to recognize: Love has won! Their struggle will be in vain!
And truly, it is in vain, for the victory of eternal light, the victory of all-embracing, immeasurable divine love, is established and unalterable. Nevertheless the forces of darkness still believe they must fight for every individual soul. Even if their struggle for soul and human being is at times crowned with apparent success, this can never last; for—as I spoke through My wisdom—the hour will come when redemption will be complete and all spirits will be back in their home in blessed fellowship, praising and glorifying God, the Father of all children. Everything that was will then be only a memory and at the same time the guarantee that what was able to happen will never happen again, because My children have tested their greatest treasure, their free will.
In this time of transformation your earth trembles, My brothers and sisters, for it is changing; and not only this earth, but all the celestial bodies surrounding it are subject to this change, because an epoch is coming to an end and a new one is beginning. Yet you feel the effects not only outwardly, not only through the trembling of the earth, not only through fire and water, not only through storms; My beloved, you also feel them within yourselves. Even if you often cannot name what is happening within you, it nevertheless belongs to the process of transformation moving across this earth and all the life it bears, bringing all that has fallen closer to My heart.
And so once again I want to remind you of your task—you who are here, you who read My message, and also many of you in the realms of souls: remember the commission that lies in your heart, to help Me, love, through your just thinking, speaking, and acting to raise all life again and guide it back onto the path to Me.
Yet this, My beloved, you can accomplish only if you remember My footsteps, step into them and—as I have called you to do—follow Me, your Lord and Redeemer, your Master, your physician and healer, your Savior.
I have returned to the Father’s kingdom, and a dwelling has been prepared for each of you. So follow Me, do good, do the works I did, love without reservation, do not judge, and in this way let the Spirit of the Father come alive within you as a testimony for many who are still opening their hearts, longing for God, their Father, and hungering for the bread of life and the drink of truth and justice.
For truly, I tell you, there is only one key to the eternal dwellings; and that key, My brothers and sisters, is love alone!
So be blessed and be aware: there is no moment in your life in which you are not surrounded by the love that I am, which comforts and strengthens you, supports you, protects you, and gives you strength in times of danger and distress. I am the Spirit of love. Follow the tracks I have left behind, and all will come to a good end.
I embrace you, My beloved, I press you to My heart, you here and you there as well; yet in truth there is neither here nor there, for everything is one in Me, the eternal Spirit who is also the life in each of you. Amen.
