Divine Revelation

My beloved sons and daughters, the manipulation of truth together with targeted misinformation has over the centuries created a situation marked by an unsurpassable lack of understanding on the part of the vast majority of humanity. Superficiality determines the lives of My children because of their blindness and ignorance. The principle of “bread and circuses,” practiced by those in power already in antiquity, has lost none of its effectiveness and still proves highly effective. It keeps My human children from recognizing their true nature, reflecting on the meaning of their earthly life, and giving their existence a spiritual direction; above all, however, ignorance prevents the machinations of the negative forces from being stopped through effective conduct of one’s own.

My love has never left My children alone; I have never been silent, even though this continues to be proclaimed. And because My love and care will never be silent, My word flows to My creatures for all eternity. For I am not a mute God, but the life within you, and you, and you—in everything that is.

I have explained in many revelations how the opposing side proceeded in order to bring about the present state of rigidity and inability to recognize. Today I add another detail to the great, colorful, shimmering mosaic of My wisdom of creation so that still more connections become clear to you and you can draw from them the right conclusions for your lives.

Quite apart from the fact that the term soul is not correctly defined and is mistakenly equated with the psyche, there is widespread lack of clarity about how the interaction of soul and body takes place. Hardly anyone knows that soul and body form an inseparable unity during earthly life, that the spiritual and material parts therefore form a whole, and that throughout a lifetime both stand in reciprocal relationship with one another. One cannot exist on earth without the other; one continually influences the other. In this way these two parts continually nourish or burden each other for as long as an incarnation lasts. This can have serious consequences, both positive and negative. The effects build up and strengthen soul and body when your effort, thinking, and actions orient themselves toward the commandment of love for God and neighbor. In the opposite case, spiritual and soul-stagnation can occur, and in the worst case regression.

Soul and body are therefore two sides of one and the same coin. Through his free will and the resulting decisions, the human being continually stamps this coin until the end of his earthly life, while the human being—consciously or unconsciously—continually experiences the helpful efforts and impulses of good forces or is exposed to massive influence from less good forces.

The “stamping of the coin” expresses itself both outwardly and inwardly; above all it decisively determines the condition of the soul and its further path in the realms beyond, which is to be understood very concretely and by no means as abstractly as is often assumed. What continues to exist after so-called death is the one side of the coin—the soul-side—which beforehand was shaped by the other side of the coin—the bodily side—into what it now is.

What continues to live in a world far more real than what you experience on earth is indeed “only” your soul, and yet it is you yourselves—who in your new home no longer need a material body.

Your body therefore serves you only as a means to an end, enabling you to put into practice or learn on earth what, for various reasons, you undertook or chose; what was recommended to you and, ideally, planned together with you with the participation of your spiritual helpers; or what someone, or something, urged you toward—from lower motives.

Finally you arrive on earth—as a soul more or less filled with light or burdened—and at birth, and finally thereafter, enter the body that you previously helped to “build” through your nearness to your future mother. You have entered the land of forgetting. You bring one side of the coin with you, even though you and your family as a rule know nothing about it. The other side, visible and tangible as the child’s body and therefore regarded as the only important one, in most cases even as the only one that exists, begins to develop outwardly and eventually assumes its all-dominating place.

The greater the ignorance about this process, the more readily negative forces succeed in disturbing or preventing the soul’s development. And ignorance throughout the world is frighteningly great! It is the result of deliberately planned and carried-out misleading guidance by evil, which does everything it can to maintain its sphere of power and, if possible, expand it.

An open and honest look into and at what is happening in your world must make clear to everyone the extent of disorder, insecurity, and egoism that has arisen through lack of knowledge of spiritual backgrounds and, as a consequence, through failure to observe spiritual laws.

Just as little is it known that the human being possesses tools that give him the possibility of successfully defying the whisperings, temptations, and attacks of darkness by—what is far more important than protection requested for a particular situation—building up and developing, with My help, his inner power, My power of love within him. This then serves him as a bulwark against satanic hostility.

For I dwell within the human being, I am the life within him, and whoever turns toward Me and strives to fulfill My law of love grows into a free, peaceful, and joyful life that lets all the efforts of the opposing side come to nothing.

The assumption that only with birth does the incarnated soul become subject to the influences of good and evil is false. Even beforehand, still in the subtle realms from which souls come, the struggle of both sides for every individual soul begins, with the intention either of giving it good or bad starting conditions, or also of dissuading it from the plan of an incarnation; which can be well meant, but can equally be an attempt to impair its development. Already here the opposing side too plans its moves, sometimes far in advance; only with the difference that it lies and deceives in order to seduce, while I and, with Me, those who guide and protect you respect your free will.

The time of pregnancy too is used by both sides, each with a different aim: to protect the developing human being as well as possible, or to weaken or harm him already in the womb. In most cases it is not lack of parental love that is the reason many newborns already have to bear physical and psychological burdens, but the lack of knowledge that here a soul with “a past of its own” is striving into a new life, a soul that during pregnancy and early childhood is completely helpless, also and especially in relation to the powerful medical establishment and its vassals.

The attempts to disturb the growing human being not only in his soul-development but also in his bodily development, and often to inflict lasting harm upon him, are successful because darkness knows very well the close connection between body and soul.

Unlike the great majority of people, it knows the “twin sides” of the coin! It knows that steady soul-growth as a rule proceeds more easily when a person is healthy, feels content, and lives without fear with a sense of security. In order to disturb or prevent such development, it proceeds on two tracks in its efforts: It makes people ill, in the short or long term, or—which in view of the final result comes to the same thing—it creates a superficial contentment by false means in order to prevent questioning about the meaning of life and a departure toward “new spiritual shores.” Often only too late does the human being notice that his happiness was merely pseudo-happiness, his supposed security only false security, and his apparent health not true wholeness.

Because one side of the coin depends on the other, it is indispensable for you to give the body the necessary attention as well, for during the incarnation it is after all the soul’s only “vehicle.” Heeding this is important, but it must not become the chief purpose of your life. A sensible cooperation from which both sides benefit is the middle way to be sought, not a way of thinking bordering on fanaticism that assumes everything can be mastered with the spirit because spirit rules matter.

I remind you that with your incarnation you entered the sphere of dominion of darkness and live in matter, and are therefore subject to the laws prevailing there …

Whoever, in a mistaken assessment of his spiritual and soul-development, believes he can already fully apply to himself the principle “Spirit stands above matter” will have to recognize that in this case “spirit” means the power that develops within the human being through a life according to the laws of selfless love until it finally reaches the potential to suspend the laws of matter. This does not change the fact that faith grounded in deep humility and love and resting upon an unshakable foundation of trust can move mountains, and that this includes deep love for Me, the Creator of all life, which expresses itself in your everyday life and your positive yes.

As long as you have not yet come so far that “the mountains move”—and I say this with a smile—I ask you, with the right inner attitude, to accept the many forms of support I have provided for you in My love. These include both the many gifts and precious treasures of nature and the people who can help you in difficult health situations. My mercy has allowed these gifts to come to you; for I am not a God who, like a bookkeeper, balances accounts and becomes active only after you have first cleared up everything. On the contrary, I desire that you use what I continually give you in the right spirit—for the good of your body and with a view to increasing the strength of your soul.

I know very well the outward and inward threats to which My children are continually exposed; and that too is why I do not remain silent.

In your ignorance you direct your attention first and foremost toward what comes upon you from outside as difficulties and afflictions, what could cause losses and harm you. But this is not all that can become dangerous to you. Far greater harm can arise inwardly because it can weaken you for a much longer time—that is, beyond your present life—than outward circumstances can. That is why as Jesus I also said, in essence, that it is not those who can harm the body whom you should fear, but those who can harm the soul.

The reciprocal effect between soul and body becomes clear from what has been said. What harms the soul sooner or later also harms the body. And if you neglect your body, sooner or later this will leave traces in your soul.

Have you ever noticed or reflected that the methods of misinformation and keeping people dependent are similar in many respects in the fields of your bodily and soul-health? It is not an exaggeration to speak of a “handicapping of the soul” in many people, especially if you use as a standard the maturity and consciousness that could have been attained if My one and eternally valid commandment of love for God and neighbor had been put into practice: love—and nothing else!

The forces working against Me and you successfully rely on the factor of “time.” Much of what they seek and put into practice is carefully prepared and designed for the long term. When after years or decades the first impairments are noticed, it is often too late for a correction of outward and inward conduct. Thus it is not surprising that many people reject warnings of danger to their bodily or soul-health on the grounds that they are still doing well, that they suffer no or scarcely any inward or outward deficiency and therefore see no reason to have to change anything fundamentally. The truth is: Often they can no longer do so because years of wrong conduct have left traces on soul and body. And often they can no longer recognize the truth in these words either.

What is materially visible has shaped what is spiritually invisible, and this in turn has acted upon what is materially visible; likewise in the reverse order.

I would not be a faithfully caring Father if I left it only at warnings and admonitions. Therefore I also place in your hands the tool by which you can interrupt this cycle—to which the term “vicious circle” applies in full. The positive effect will show itself in your life if you do not leave it at merely knowing about the tool, but actually use it.

The sharpest weapon darkness uses is fear, which can be generated in the most varied ways. For many centuries threats and violence were the means of first choice; today they have lost efficiency. Fearful people are easy to manipulate, free people scarcely or not at all. You can frighten a human being only by getting him to believe what he is told. And this succeeds all the more easily the less enlightenment exists and the less truth is known. That is why I teach you the logic of the heart, so that you are enabled to look behind the scenes wherever something is concealed or falsely represented and taught.

But I do not give you these helps so that, out of emotions you cannot yet master, you condemn those responsible! That is not your concern! I give them to you so that, by free decision, you may release yourselves from the fetters that until now have kept you in insecurity and unfreedom; fetters that under certain circumstances—consciously or unconsciously—have often caused you to look submissively, timidly, and without courage toward “those above,” while giving up your own responsibility. The logic of the heart helps you recognize untruth and take different paths from before—paths that allow soul and body to become healthy.

My word love—and nothing else! can now, with knowledge of the connections, also be applied without difficulty to the body. For whoever loves his body will take care that he gives it—so far as this is still possible—healthy food and avoids as much as possible everything that harms his health; and what you call stress is one of the main causes of your bodily complaints. Stress is artificially generated by outward circumstances and by a lifestyle whose dictates many submit to because it seems important to them to “belong”; because they try to satisfy the supposed needs of their body and psyche that are held before them.

Do you recognize in this small example the reciprocal effect the two sides exert upon one another? For stress does not remain limited to the body, but develops into a burden upon the soul that produces dissatisfaction, driven restlessness, exaggerated ambition, and much more, which in return over time expresses itself as illness. This in turn makes it more difficult for the human being to recognize and satisfy his spiritual needs.

What does it look like in the soul of a stressed person who allows no, or not enough, space in his life for what the spirit within the human being wants? The spirit, primal source of life and core of the soul, has one single desire, one single strong need: to reunite as soon as possible with My Spirit of love. For this it is necessary that the soul enclosing it become brighter; that the “coverings” of the soul gradually dissolve, so that more and more the radiant, divine being can emerge that each of you carries within, that each of you is.

This task is entrusted to the human being, who through a life according to divine laws is to allow his soul to become healthy by making Me the director of his incarnation. He does this when his love for Me and for his neighbor expresses itself not only in words but in deeds; and when he allows himself to be guided by Me and not by his fate, which can happen most effectively by his giving Me his yes. Me, love, who incarnated in Jesus of Nazareth.

Often, however, through his lack of interest he denies his soul further development, usually unknowingly and unwillingly. Or he harms it and thereby places it in a lower energetic condition, which not infrequently expresses itself outwardly as well and can lead to the originally intended span of life becoming shorter.

Finally the human being closes his eyes; this earthly incarnation is over. The sum of energy his soul carries within now determines his ascent into other spheres, his condition, and his new dwelling place.

When I say “his soul,” that means: this is now he—the former human being—himself. He can make no one else responsible for the condition of his soul! Whoever is dissatisfied with it, whoever is unhappy and completely helpless or quarrels with what happens to him, must keep before his eyes that during his life there were enough warnings and impulses to do or leave undone one thing or another.

But even over there no one is alone; he often only feels lonely. A request for assistance and enlightenment, a first inner stirring of self-knowledge, or tears coming from the heart call spiritual helpers into action, who selflessly take over the loving care of the neighbor who has called for help.

The new place of residence, where the soul will as a rule remain longer than on earth, is just as temporary in nature as its earthly home was. For the true home of My child is with Me, in the circle of his heavenly brothers and sisters, in the freedom, boundlessness, and indescribable beauty of the heavens.

When you are home again, My son, My daughter, then you are once more immersed in the love that is your true nature and from which you came!

How long your journey lasts, how often it still leads you over the earth before you can enter bright, high-vibrating spheres of the beyond and finally heaven, you determine yourselves. The law of attraction and repulsion operates on earth just as it does in the subtle realms outside the earth and in the highest vibration of eternity.

One further small example is intended to make clear to you that the same principles apply in the spiritual as in the material realm. The insight you can draw from it can be a great help in your effort to lay aside old habits and patterns of conduct and replace them with new ones. It can put you on a “hot” trail if until now you have tried with only modest success to put an end to a fault—provided you have recognized it as such:

If you discover flooding in your basement, the very first thing you will do is close the window through which water has obviously entered. For you know it is pointless to leave the window open—and thereby allow more water to enter—while at the same time pumping the flooded basement dry or emptying it with buckets. You will therefore “plug the hole.”

Does this sensible and even necessary measure apply only in the case that your basement has filled with water? Do you not believe that the same method can also be applied to an impairment or disturbance that through your own ignorance, inattention, or indifference was allowed or caused in your soul and your body? The answer to this question is obvious, especially when you accept the simple logic of this image.

What follows from this for the one who wants to free himself from patronizing and harassment, from pressure and cleverly presented temptation; for the one who wants to look behind things and become aware of his own responsibility and strength? Always, My beloved sons and daughters, it is a matter of cutting off the “supply,” even when you have not yet recognized the actual root of wrong conduct but nevertheless regard it as needing change because it does not agree—even in details—with My commandment of love.

Grasp the extraordinary significance of this truth, even if the example seems banal to you. It says: Put a stop to what until now, despite the best intentions, has repeatedly prevented change, healing, happiness, peace, harmony, and much more. Thus reject all this in your thoughts, words, and actions, come into My arms, and in inner feeling, thought, or words say: “Father, please help me. I no longer want to feed this, for You are my goal.”

Developing repentance, asking forgiveness, and forgiving are among the measures that must be taken to close open windows when healing is to take place on the bodily and soul levels.

If you acknowledge this as right, as My truth, then perhaps in it you will also find the explanation for why many requests and prayers—spoken for yourselves or for others—do not produce the result you hoped for. For it is not compatible with My law “to leave the basement window open and at the same time ask and hope that the water damage remains limited or is repaired.”

This does not mean that My mercy cannot become effective or that I do not intervene helpfully when I recognize a child’s good intention and good will. On the contrary: I and your spiritual friends are especially glad to help where a request is made to find the still unknown energy leak or the point of entry not yet discovered; for there a turning point is taking shape. And all the more do I help when I recognize the effort to cut off the “supply” through different conduct in the future.

For I desire that you who are presently traveling as human beings allow the energy of love to reach your souls that they too desire; that they need in order later to bring you—remember: You are a unity!—to the place where you can live in the light, experience love, and give love.

My blessing rests upon everything you ask for in order to reach this goal. For I love you beyond measure.

Amen
