Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, My word of revelation today, which I place under the guiding thought of “personal responsibility,” I connect with a question to each individual: “Do you believe that you yourselves are the makers of your own happiness?” as one of your sayings puts it. Or do you—more or less—hold other people, fate, circumstances, chance, or Me responsible for what happened or is happening in your life? If this is—still—the case, then I make you a suggestion:
Sit very close to Me, and let us reflect together. Allow My love and wisdom to stir within you, and be ready to accept knowledge that can make you free and sooner or later lead you to the personally responsible thinking and acting your soul has long desired.
*
About two thousand years ago, after careful preparation, I entered matter: the aspect of My love incarnated in the human being whom the world knows as Jesus of Nazareth. Never before had a human being possessed a greater consciousness. Certainly “high” spirit beings had repeatedly gone to earth to admonish humanity and call it to turn back, but in Jesus I Myself came.
My will was to save My human and soul-children and make the way home to their heavenly home possible again. This happened through My sacrifice on Golgotha; for My will is law just as My omnipotence is. For centuries I have explained this event through many of My faithful ones in numerous revelations.
The opposing forces could not prevent redemption, so they took another path: They falsified My simple teaching of love beyond recognition, so that of what I taught and lived before you there remained only fragments full of illogic, contradictions, and things difficult to understand, which to this day are proclaimed by your scribes and theologians as My truth. In this way they achieved that people blindly followed an empty faith that scarcely brought them nearer to Me but instead moved them into a “waiting line of the soul.”
The prospects of getting out of it, gaining insight, and understanding connections were extremely small. Nevertheless, those who lived love succeeded. Most, however, were hearers who only believed; the very few were doers who in everyday life actually put into practice what they believed. To this day little or nothing has changed in this situation of wandering about without truly knowing the goal.
For about two centuries after My earthly life, the movement spread with zeal and full of joy, shaped by a different understanding from today’s—that is, by a true understanding of God as love and forgiveness, and by an attractive Christianity—until darkness succeeded in bringing this spread to an end through the inflow of false ideas and the use of fire and sword. It resorted to the tried and tested means of oppression and fear and thus spread its own teaching. This did not happen overnight; it took time.
Its goal, which it eventually achieved and has continued to pursue to this day with refined methods, was the distortion of My statements. Today people like to throw the cloak of silence and forgetting over “fire and sword,” creating the impression that everything is back in proper order merely because the dark period of your church history belongs to the past.
My sons and daughters, worse than all oppression, all subjugation, and all coercive measures was the falsification of the teaching of love, with the resulting concealment of truth that has existed ever since and—often against better knowledge—is still passed off as My word.
Through this I became a distant God and, in the eyes of many, an unjust one; through this I became an authority that cares little or not at all about the concerns and needs of His children; through this I became a God whom people no longer understand, in whom they can scarcely still believe with the heart, and whom they then no longer recognize as unconditional love—even though this is still proclaimed in words.
That is the present state; and at the same time it is the reason your world and the lives of many insecure, unhappy, fearful people who think superficially look as they do.
To My critics who experience My words as harsh and unjust, I say: Read deeply into My words! Out of love I speak of the falsified teaching, of rigid hierarchies, of administrators who do not allow truth. I do not speak of the sincerely striving people within the various organizations, and certainly not of your brothers and sisters who selflessly serve their neighbor, “… for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!”
For unlike you I possess the ability that you still have to acquire: I see the imperfection of people and what they do—and love them nevertheless!
*
Your Scripture contains only fragments of My teaching, often enough wrongly translated and altered. I taught My own far more than what you find today in your traditions. I also had to adapt My words to the consciousness of My listeners and followers, so I often spoke in images. I could not go into the details I revealed to you during recent decades and centuries; although even the messages of your time represent only a vanishingly small part of My inexhaustible wisdom.
And so I often conveyed only the “framework” and showed the direction. In this way of teaching lies a small secret that those who follow Me have uncovered, and that all of good will can uncover:
Whoever puts My teaching of love into practice in his life has further aspects of My wisdom opened to him. Put differently: Whoever follows the signpost and walks the path only then experiences, on his journey, the wonders and sees the beauties that remain closed to the one who merely talks about the directions.
If you walk, then you see. If you see, then you proclaim it.
If you do not walk, then you do not see; you merely know about it. Caution! The trap of accumulating knowledge lies in wait …
With the one who walks the path, I therefore “work” within him. Step by step he enters deeper realizations; in and upon him takes place what you call an expansion of consciousness. But this is then not the result of accumulating esoteric knowledge or of certain techniques, but the consequence of an increased inflow of love-life-energy that arises through his thinking and actions and through the decisions he makes in personal responsibility. And it comes from the source of eternal life, from Me.
Above all, he increasingly sees through the web of half-truths and untruths that have been served to you for centuries and especially today, made possible and intensified by your technological progress. But with recognition of the structure of lies there also grows an understanding of how My universal laws have governed My whole creation from eternity.
Because it is so important that you grasp connections and acknowledge and understand the interaction of the facets of this immense network called “creation,” I teach you “the logic of the heart.”*) With it—if you wish to think and act in personal responsibility—you are largely protected against what is offered to you as divine truths but does not lead you into inner freedom and instead often enough into spiritual dead ends or bondage through the opposing forces.
On the path that initiates your inner development, you will recognize that widespread ignorance rests upon six main points:
ignorance of My timelessly valid divine laws,
of the life of the soul in the beyond after so-called death,
of the repeated embodiment of a soul in a human body,
of the continual influence of forces from the astral realms,
of the fact that I live within the human being, and
of the fact that it is always and only about love and never about rites, traditions, and forms—figuratively speaking, always about the content and never about the worthless packaging.
Through alteration and suppression of the truth, people were prevented from recognizing Me as truly selfless and unconditional love, which condemns none of its children and loses none to darkness; and belief and knowledge were suppressed that My infinite mercy forgives everything, no matter how great the guilt.
At the same time it became possible without great difficulty to reconcile the apparently prevailing injustice with the great love of Mine that is taught at the same time. And the statement that I am omnipotent gives rise to great doubts in some when they look at the world and their own lives; for others it is scarcely worth thinking about.
Within this field of tension between having to believe, being unable to understand, and recognizing one’s own fallibility, burdensome feelings of guilt that make people unfree have built up in many. An active, trusting, loving life together with Me thereby becomes impossible. And the attraction, the appeal, of the unadulterated and inspiring early Christianity has long since become history.
I allowed this because every creature has free will, in which I do not intervene even when it vehemently violates My commandment of love. This applies to darkness as well. “But then the human being is helplessly exposed to the forces of evil,” I hear you say. “How can he ever emerge victorious from the constant confrontations?”
No, My sons and daughters, he is not helpless. He is helpless only when he does not know the rules. And in many cases he does not know them because what is presented to him as My commandments and laws are not My rules but the rules of the adversary. They are the omissions, distortions, falsifications, and alterations of which I spoke at the beginning. In and through Jesus I proclaimed My all-embracing love and mercy, the superfluity of all externalities, humility of heart as the prerequisite for entering heaven, the necessity of forgiving everyone—even one’s enemies—the eternal life of your soul, which I will bring back to Me, to its true home, and the fact that you are joined with Me in that very moment when you seek your inner being in order to be with Me. For there I live—in you!
Whoever teaches something else does not speak from My authority and truth.
*
Do you now understand why I described the massive intervention in My simple teaching as the greatest evil? Through manipulation, an idea of Me formed in the minds of My children—partly deeply impressed into their souls across incarnations—that determines people’s everyday lives and therefore life as a whole on your earth. This earth could be a flourishing planet on which individuals and peoples live peacefully beside and with one another and meet in mutual respect and love.
Things turned out differently. And yet, precisely in your time many of your brothers and sisters from the heavens and the bright realms surrounding them have incarnated in order to help, in your difficult time, to initiate a spiritual awakening. Even if at first glance it does not appear so, an unmistakably large number of people are of good will, not least because I repeatedly touch them within. They sense that something—quite apart from outward upheavals and events—is not right, no longer right. They try to look behind things, they try to understand, they are ready to learn and help. Consciously and often unconsciously, they long for a lost happiness.
They seek the truth.
Will someone who has discovered the truth continue to follow untruth? Will someone who recognizes as a prison what he previously took for freedom reject the key that opens the door for him?
Whoever remains on the surface will indeed succeed in “bringing everything under one roof.” But, My sons and daughters, I did not remind you of your personal responsibility without reason. Every one of you carries within a great spiritual potential, much greater than he senses or thinks. It is My gift to you—to every one of My creatures—which I placed within you. You are from Me, and therefore you carry within you part of My strength and power.
Your soul longs to mature, to learn, to become strong, to grow into its inner freedom, and therefore also into the freedom the human being desires so deeply. But for this your will is required because decisions must be made, something no one can take from you. For this too belongs to the learning process for which you incarnated. Your yes is necessary, your willingness to rethink your life, to look at many things and, where necessary, to change something. First inwardly, in your thoughts, in your heart, and always together with Me, in order then to discover that new thinking grounded in trust and love also affects your conduct outwardly and in your surroundings.
For this it is indispensable that you become familiar with parts of My laws that I have already brought close to you often through My word of revelation—for decades and centuries. Even if other views prevail: I do not selfishly hide secrets in order to keep them for Myself; but neither do I overburden any of My creatures with knowledge for which its consciousness is insufficient.
As long as within you there prevails the feeling that you are blown back and forth like leaves in the wind by an inexplicable fate, or even that I am the One who determines or shapes your life and everyone’s life while distributing My gifts of love unequally, you cannot build a relationship full of trust with Me. And for as long as this remains so, you will not be able to accept that you yourselves are the makers of your happiness.
One of the most important little cogwheels in My great clockwork of creation, which the opposing side removed when reinterpreting My teaching, is the law of sowing and reaping, of cause and effect. It is still in your Scripture, but it is interpreted so that the statement relates to the future—primarily to your “heavenly future.” Who has reflected on when he may have sown what he is harvesting in this life? Here the logic of the heart is required. And here those are called upon who are willing to think in personal responsibility and draw the necessary conclusions.
If the human being is responsible for his future harvest, who then is responsible for today’s harvest? For the seed that produced the present harvest? According to your teaching there was no earlier time at which the seed could have been sown, for the soul of every human being is—again according to your teaching—newly created by Me at conception, so to speak out of nothing.
The logic of your heart is called for again: Does every sexual union resulting in conception therefore force Me to create a new soul, whether I intended to or not …?
Whoever believes he must debate these points with Me because he has read or studied corresponding knowledge is welcome to engage with Me inwardly. I will give him the answer.
*
With the view that I create every soul “new and fresh” and am therefore the originator of the new life, doubts about My love and justice cannot fail to arise when—not least over the course of later years—everything does not take shape as the human being imagines or wishes. I give you an image for this:
If you have taken on the task of planning and building a house, and after completion it turns out that the building is defective at many corners and edges, who will be held responsible? Naturally, you.
If, then, you do not consider that the soul had a prior existence, and if you deny that the soul said yes to what the new incarnation brings with it, you must either make Me responsible as the “builder,” or choose a second possibility: God is indeed the Creator, who perhaps is somehow responsible, but the human being cannot penetrate this “mystery”; here he may ask no further questions. What remains are doubt and uncertainty.
I have explained this point so fully in order to make something clear to you through this example: A small alteration, namely removing the little cogwheel called “cause and effect,” produced an immeasurably great effect with devastating consequences, which not infrequently express themselves in loss of faith in My justice and therefore sooner or later in loss of faith altogether. In every case it very often contributed to faith remaining on the surface, with the human being shrugging his shoulders and contenting himself with what he does not understand anyway.
The truth, My beloved, is that My system of gears has worked without error from eternity and will do so throughout eternity. Everyone is integrated into it, without exception. This applied to My incarnation as well, which, although carefully prepared and carried out, nevertheless unfolded within My laws. It also applied to the human being Jesus of Nazareth, who was exposed to similar and greater temptations than you and likewise had to work for his inner strength.
Never will there be a necessity to make even the smallest correction to My laws, because that would mean I had created something imperfect. If that were the case, creation would long since no longer exist.
The truth therefore also includes the fact that the soul once created by Me, after a more or less long journey through the realms outside heaven—including matter—returns to Me. On its way home, which begins as soon as it has left the heavens, it will as a rule enter the earth several times in order to spend years of learning there in a human body and gather experiences with the aim of opening up love within itself again.
Because there is no death in the sense in which you understand it, the soul continues to exist after leaving its body and enters the realms corresponding to its condition, its vibration, or its degree of maturity. According to decisions it makes itself, it remains there for a time or incarnates again when it recognizes the opportunity to learn more quickly on earth than is possible where it is among its own kind.
Then a new incarnation begins; you call its beginning birth and its end death, although from the spiritual perspective it is exactly the reverse. Neither is in itself of great importance compared with the years on earth lying between the events of coming and going; for both merely serve to create a period of time for the further development of the soul.
Using the earthly time meaningfully and developing love was the core of My teaching, which at that time I placed under the commandment of love for God and neighbor and which today I explain in detail so that you receive help for your everyday life and understand the connections.
My justice created the law of attraction and repulsion. This means that the condition of your soul, your inner being, your nature, your consciousness—or whatever you wish to call it—ensures that precisely what soul and human being need for the next learning steps enters your life. And there is still quite a lot to learn, My sons and daughters; but in every effort I am at your side.
Whether the human being understands this, acknowledges it or not, changes nothing about the law’s working. The precision of My law ensures that, in exactly the right dosage and at the right time, he is presented with what still needs to be developed in a learning process. Everyone has free will to reject the “offer of fate,” for at first it is no more than an offer. Yet fate, as the executive organ of the law of cause and effect, cannot be dismissed. With every disregard on your part it indeed withdraws for a short time, but it comes toward you again, and from the offer there eventually arises—in the figurative sense—a demand. Yet it never represents punishment, but always only one of My measures to move your human self, through different conduct, to have a positive effect upon your soul. For the soul is important to Me; it—and not the human body—will ultimately set out on the way back to Me, to its eternal home. And on this way it will grow strong and blossom.
The human being who does not know this, or does not want to know it because he dislikes the offer or later the demand, will then stand full of disbelief and incomprehension before a situation he cannot reconcile with a God of love. And even those who have studied Me will shrug their shoulders and point to the great mystery of a God who indeed loves human beings but does not “show His hand,” and who leaves them alone in their unhappiness with their worries, their suffering, and all their questions …
Human being, use your reason.
Do you now understand, My child, why in every case you yourself are the maker of your happiness—or your unhappiness? So-called fate, which acts on behalf of the law of attraction, will not present to you what is intended for your neighbor. No package will be delivered to you that is meant for the person next door. But this also means that whatever comes toward you always has something to do with you.
I had asked you to sit down with Me so that together we could reflect on something. Let My words continue to resonate within you. Remember My love, which placed longing in your heart. Then you cannot lose your way in your understanding of Me. On the contrary, you will grow into deep trust, especially when you internalize what I once said: namely, that the trust that becomes firm within you is the sum of the experiences you have made with Me.
And then, with a deep sigh of relief, you will recognize that it is something wonderful to be the maker of your own happiness—when you enter the smithy of your heavenly Father and ask Him to make the necessary tools available.
He is only waiting for you to do so.
Amen
