Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, whoever does not notice that things are slowly but surely getting worse in every area and are “going downhill” either does not want to face these signs and what they are saying, or is so busy and perhaps also distracted by other things that no time remains for what will truly be important in the time ahead.
I want to help you keep your eyes open or open them still wider, rather than close them, which is what you are meant to be tempted—and are being tempted—to do. This will not be entirely easy, and it also requires courage, but above all trust in My guidance, which is and remains absolutely free of error. And it is tailored to your very personal circumstances and to what you have undertaken to do, or to the task that still lies ahead of you.
What matters to Me is that you increasingly arrive at independent thinking. For only then can you make decisions that are not dictated by fear and perhaps also based on the many false pieces of information that reach you every day.
Human consciousness has reached an extremely low level. The teachings I brought and lived as Jesus of Nazareth have in part been falsified and today survive only in a stunted form as faith in the letter. It was different in the first decades and centuries of your era. There was a spirit of awakening that was a thorn in the side of the negative forces.
I had not only set a sign; I had also created a foundation that should and could have served to initiate a change of direction. In the spiritual realm this did happen; redemption had been accomplished and the heavens were open again. In the visible, outer world it did not succeed, because darkness did everything possible—it too had and has freedom—to falsify after a certain time the new way of love that I brought, and finally to portray it as unrealistic and suppress it.
What remained and today is advertised and taught as the “way of salvation to heaven” is only a faint reflection of what I brought. What remains is a meager and curtailed teaching that has indeed been inflated, but lacks inner power. Often people have also been induced, directly or indirectly, no longer to believe in Me; which was and is not all that difficult because the fruits of a life of love naturally cannot be present if My original teaching is not practiced.
In the first decades after My “death,” the knowledge I brought spread very rapidly and, despite attempts at suppression and persecution, became a new guiding principle for life for many. Love was not merely taught; it was also lived.
Naturally, the opposing side did not like this at all. Its original assumption that by “eliminating” Me it could cause Jesus of Nazareth to be forgotten proved false. And so, despite all its efforts, it was soon no longer able to prevent My teaching of love from spreading.
Therefore it set about gradually changing and thereby falsifying what I had taught. In the long run this seemed to it the safer way. For the goal—even if, for lack of other possibilities, a long-term one—was to keep people from turning their lives, through deeds in everyday life, into an existence filled with love for God and neighbor.
So, completely unnoticed by people, they began to leave something out here and add something there. Not step by step, but tiny step by tiny step. In doing so they made use of scholars, church teachers, and priests, but also brought kings and emperors into play whenever and wherever necessary.
People, unless they lived in deep love for Me and in deep faith in Me and with Me, had little or no chance of escaping these manipulations, if only because the changes and falsifications stretched across centuries and believers depended on accepting as correct in the sense of My teaching whatever their superiors set before them.

The long-planned influence proceeded in several stages. One of them was to portray as unrealistic a subtle, spiritual world that exists immediately around you. This led many of you to believe in principle in good and evil spirits—in angels and devils—but to place them somewhere in an “ominous beyond” about which no one really knows where it is supposed to be.
Your science has long since discovered that realms of the most varied vibrations or densities exist side by side; it is therefore by no means the case that matter is here and, somewhere far away in the unknown, subtle worlds are located there.
Why is this knowledge denied? And why are the questions arising from it not pursued? Indeed, why do even highly intelligent people who achieve significant things in your science and economy not ask such and similar questions at all? Would you proceed so blindly and naively in your often very demanding activities? Simply believe something or fail to question more closely what others prescribe, only because they have allegedly managed to wrap themselves in the “mantle of spiritual knowledge”? And who, on top of that, strengthen in you the conviction that you cannot find the answers anyway?
Opinion-shaping practiced by your authorities over many centuries has led people to have a completely false picture of spiritual worlds. Or they have none at all. In any case, very few of My sons and daughters are aware that although they live in a material world, it is surrounded by subtle realms from which unceasing attempts are made to influence them.
This happens both in a good sense through your guardian angels and spiritual friends, and negatively through low-vibrating forces. The latter, however, are by no means abstract; they live very really as non-material beings who—like all those who have “died”—have laid aside their bodies. They act from their present home, which they attracted in accordance with their disposition. There is not much else left to them but to obtain in this way the energy they so urgently need—of which they often have to give a portion to those under whose supervision they live.
As a rule they are under the “command” of their brothers and sisters who stand higher in the hierarchy. The methods used in the attempt to obtain life-force from you are in part so subtle that you can scarcely form any idea of them, or none at all. In any event they are superior to you and can leave you depleted of energy and even make you ill if you “live from one day to the next,” if you do not know your weak points, and if you accept the offers they bring to you in many different ways. This often happens without your noticing it.

I have shown you one way of influencing you: portraying a spiritual world that exists immediately around you as unrealistic. But this was only one possibility for undermining the knowledge and faith of those who lived according to My commandments. There were and are many others.
One of them, probably the one with the greatest force and the most profound and lasting effect, was the false teaching that a human being lives only once, that his soul is therefore created by Me in a single act of will, then goes into matter, and after its passing in the beyond sooner or later is judged by Me.
In order to anchor such a false teaching firmly in people’s minds as an infallible doctrine, a longer period of preparation was required. It extended over several centuries. At the same time, the position of ecclesiastical representatives had to be strengthened to such a degree that hardly anyone would dare to express another view. Imprisonment and death threatened him.
In decisive phases, secular rulers and princes of the Church went hand in hand. 1) They had the same interests. And once the teaching of the uniqueness of human life had entered the world: who later would still want to reconstruct—who would even have been able to—how it had come about?
After all, it was obviously God’s will, expressed through His earthly representatives! Otherwise He would not have allowed it!
That this was not My will would later no longer be so easy to determine and prove. Except through a corresponding search requiring great effort. Or through people through whom I reveal Myself and in this way proclaim the truth. But at that time, at the height of the alteration of My teaching, that was only rarely the case.
Why did the truth of reincarnation have to be portrayed as a lie? Among other reasons, so that people would not think of looking for reasons why things in their lives were not going as well as they wished. A single life predestined by God raised and still raises many questions, but by pointing out that no one can explain the will of God, and that only His representatives on earth held the key that could open the door to heaven for the individual—or not—a structure of power could be built against which hardly anyone dared to resist.
Naturally the changes also had their weak points. Those responsible knew that very well. But the fear of ending up at the stake for questioning them was great; it was too great, so that many could not bring themselves to think independently. Or at least did not say their thoughts aloud.
There would certainly have been many questions, questions that remain unanswered even today but are scarcely or never asked. Why not? Because the negative force that was laid upon humanity in the most massive way continues to have its effect. A small example:
It is taught, “Whatever a person sows, that he will reap.” How true! But this does not apply only to the future. Who has ever asked himself:
If I believe this word and do not merely repeat it thoughtlessly, when did I sow what I am reaping today, or have already reaped in the past years and decades—and what about children?
Why, My sons and daughters—and I address you in all love—have so few of you arrived at this question? And if they did, did they have the courage to engage with the answers? If not, was or is the fear of being regarded as a dissenter too great? Even if only before oneself? If so, do you notice the explosive nature of the prohibitions on thought that are still present today—in many cases no longer openly, but beneath the surface?
Or is it the lack of willingness to think a matter through to the end? That too is a road the opposing side offers in dazzling colors and in many highly interesting ways through a thousand forms of diversion. Who still has time and desire to deal with questions of religion?
Do you notice how an attempt was made to slow your spiritual growth by keeping you without knowledge? Has much changed?

My beloved, to some among you My revelation today will appear too serious, perhaps even a little more than that. Truly, I tell you: My word is as serious as your time requires. But it is not without love; it is never without love!
Everything that comes from Me is love! And this love is available to everyone. This love has given everyone free will. Yet free will, like every coin, has two sides.
A violation, especially when it is a serious violation, brings a consequence in its wake. It serves to promote insight. It is never, in any form, retaliation or a lesson imposed by Me.
Therefore, if anything in My words should trouble you, try to recognize My effort to let you look behind appearances. My concern is always to let My creatures feel that My love is at work in everything. That is why I came into the world in Jesus of Nazareth: to bring you this missing element and at the same time give you an example of what love is capable of.
This too is something that, over the course of the many centuries, was altered by the “editor’s pen,” so that today only a few are aware:
I live within you! I live within everyone! No creature is without My power of love!
So I do not dwell in some distant heavens that no one can explain more precisely. You carry My spark of love and life within you. Do not pass too quickly over this statement of Mine, over this fact. Become aware of what it means that the greatest power in creation is within you. At least try, for at the beginning it can scarcely be more than an attempt. This fundamental fact is too significant for you already to understand it properly and in its full scope.
But what you can and will understand if you trust My words is this:
That I have every possibility to help you back on your way to Me. And that no great exertions are needed, no advance achievements, no memberships. What I need, My child, is a YES spoken aloud or softly. It sets something in motion that cannot be described in detail because it is too extensive and beyond your imagination.
Only one thing is certain: heaven rejoices when a child gives this YES. Forces are released that you do not know as a human being. For My desire and the desire of all your heavenly brothers and sisters is that you set out on the way home. Or that you walk it more intensely than before if you have already begun your journey home.
I emphasize this “more intensely,” as I did at the beginning of My revelation, because you are approaching unsettled times. It would be wrong to conceal that from you. Many of you already sense that quite a few things will change drastically. Do not merely nod your heads when you read this here.
Remember situations in your past that were not so rosy, but that through My help ultimately did not develop as negatively as you first thought or feared. And remind yourselves again and again that it is so simple to live with Me: first, because I live within everyone, and second, because I need no more than your YES and your sincere effort.
And if you can and wish to do so already, also the small, unassuming sentence that nevertheless has such a great effect: “Father in Jesus Christ, I love You!”
Perhaps the question arises in your heart: “My God, You need no more than that?” No, My child, I need no more. “No membership in a church?” No; make your heart your church. If it were otherwise, I would not be just. For the prerequisite for a child’s return home must be the same throughout all creation. Everyone must be able to fulfill it, otherwise there would be favored and disadvantaged ones. And that cannot be with Me.
And what is the prerequisite called? Love—and nothing else.
If you believe it is right to join or belong to a church community, then do so. Then it is good and right for you in your situation. But do not make the mistake of regarding something like that as a condition for coming closer to Me and finally becoming completely close to Me. I need your love; it is the key.
I have planted this love in every one of you. It is also within those who at present are still against Me and perhaps against you as well. But they too are My beloved creatures and should also become your brothers and sisters, if they are not yet so for you—which inwardly they always have been and always will be.
Perhaps there is a learning process there for you. Take it on. I am with you in this work that I call inner work.
My blessing accompanies you. Reflect on My words in a quiet hour.
Amen
1) This can be reconstructed today without difficulty from various history books.
The following poem fits today’s revelation:
Not One Did I Let Go Forth Blind
Not one did I let go forth blind;
deep in his being I planted what sustains
and strengthens him in all his striving,
what is indestructible, forever Mine:
A light of the soul that can never go out!
Even if through many lives you forget Me,
if, blinded, you one day mock and say
that you did not miss My love,
even if you fight Me, scorn Me, and hate Me,
dismiss Me as the error of all time—
when the tinsel-gold of your life grows pale,
there still lies an eternity before you.
And even if you go astray for eons:
My light within you reminds you of Me!
The tears you weep when you recognize the truth
are pearls of heaven, My gift to you.
