Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, those among you who have known My revealed word—not only what I give through this instrument—for a longer period of time will have noticed that, as a rule, it consists of admonitions and reminders, pointers, requests, help, and instruction on how you can advance on the way to Me; but again and again also of My appeal not to let up in your efforts.
All this is necessary because the human being tends all too quickly to fall back into former patterns of behavior, something encouraged by the simple fact that daily life gives him enough to think about and do, and often enough to struggle with as well.
You read very little about the fact that forces are constantly at work which have massively influenced you—the whole of humanity—from the beginning of human incarnation and which try to hinder and paralyze you in your spiritual and soul development, because it is not in their interest for the human being to strive for higher things. Yet that is precisely the purpose of an incarnation.
It is of great importance for you to know how the negative forces work and what consequences their activity has—those forces that were and are the cause of the Fall and of the formation of the worlds outside heaven, including matter and your earth. But above all, it is even more important that you know that an “opposing side” exists at all. Not somehow and somewhere, but quite concretely here and now, everywhere in the world, invisibly present around you and continually striving to influence your lives.
If you believe My words, this may frighten you at first. Such alarm can be beneficial if it leads you to do some things differently in the future than you have in the past; above all, to be more watchful—also and especially toward yourselves—and to pay a little more attention to your inner feelings and thoughts, for that is where the point of entry lies.
But there is still no reason to be afraid. The very fact that you know that My adversary and yours and his countless followers exist and are active is already a first form of help for you. For now he can no longer act as freely as he may perhaps have done before, because he has been exposed. Above all—and this should and will give you courage—he can accomplish nothing, or not so easily, where he encounters a sincere effort to put My commandment of love into practice in daily life. There he has to come up with something; and his possibilities and methods are not only infinitely varied and numerous, but also of a subtlety that exceeds your imagination.
Your problem is that, even with the best of intentions, you cannot remain consciously and most closely connected with Me throughout the entire day. Much comes your way that you have to deal with. And when the first traces of annoyance, fear, unrest, worry, and much else appear, it can quite easily happen that the seducers see an opportunity in this to influence you in some way without your noticing it.
What was and remains most important of all to the negative forces, however, is that people know nothing about them—indeed, that their existence is denied or portrayed as a figment of the imagination. They also do not want to have to fear that their “game from the background” might be uncovered as the cause of the endless suffering that has already been brought upon humanity and that is still to come. They have successfully managed to make themselves appear abstract and unreal, so that in the minds of most people—if they exist there at all—they are a kind of phantom image, a fairy tale told to children.
Unfortunately, reality is different, and many a person who has lived “cheerfully and carefree” from one day to the next and has cared nothing for My commandment of love or for his neighbor will experience this reality when his eyes close on earth and open in the beyond.
Many have played their part in ensuring that evil is indeed perceived—it can no longer be overlooked, as a glance at the state of your world shows—but that the principal actors behind it are not seen, or that such considerations are not even accepted in the first place. For most people it lies beyond their imagination that the negative does not exist only abstractly or as energy, but that personified beings are pulling the strings. After all, one neither hears nor sees them.
They, on the other hand, know you very well, far better than you know yourselves. Most people cannot understand that either. Yet it is obvious, because acquiring self-knowledge, above all self-knowledge that reaches into the depths, is not on the agenda of the great majority. This makes it easy for the seducers to approach you unnoticed (1).
Not least the churches have contributed to obscuring the “image of the devil.” According to their statements, he has his home somewhere in hell, where he rules over the unfortunate souls who may even be eternally damned; but a continually present reality among human beings through him and the many he has been able to persuade to “cooperate” …? Or those who have to obey him because he has power over them …?
That beings stand behind or beside you, invisible to you, trying through thoughts or also through actions to induce you to act in their interests, is unimaginable to almost everyone. But truly, I tell you: You are never alone!
Who can come near you is determined solely by you yourselves. Your invisible vibration or radiation attracts either your brothers and sisters and helpers from the light—your guardian angel is with you in any case, although under certain circumstances at a certain “distance”; that depends on you—or spirits who pursue their own interests that are not in accordance with the law of love. They either want your energy in order to “perk up” their joyless existence a little, or they approach you on orders to lead you away from your path. Their “reward” consists of a small energetic improvement of their existence on their dark planes.
The double danger is that, first, you know little or nothing about the attacks and, second, they are carried out so skillfully that it is nearly impossible for you to recognize every attempt. It is not as though, for example, a temptation were placed before you so directly that you would notice it immediately. No, it proceeds step by step, often even little step by little step. The disadvantage for you is that you hardly notice the deviations from your course because they are very small. But they add up, for one deviation builds upon another. If you notice it at all, this often happens only when the first discrepancies or inconsistencies appear, when something makes you uneasy, when you meet resistance, perhaps also when you become ill, and much else besides.
Then it is certainly not too late for a change or a turning back—it is never too late for that!—but it may involve more work than would have been necessary if you had been attentive and, through your conduct, spoken or unspoken, had set a “stop.”
This can be prevented if you know about these things and remain watchful, so that you can recognize the first signals beforehand and—if you wish—come to Me at once.

Thus it has been possible for the adversary to do whatever he likes on your earth, openly and without restraint. A “Stop, not like that” is set against him only where people remember My commandment of love and live it as well as they already can, and where they repeatedly question themselves and measure their thoughts and actions against what they are striving to live in the spirit of love.
Once the devilish activity of the opposing side had become largely unknown, it set about gradually leading people away from My original message, which I brought as Jesus of Nazareth and which spoke exclusively of My love. It falsified this message by making use of “followers” who, because of the condition of their souls and their weaknesses, were suitable for proclaiming the truths launched by it as My truths. And it placed in the hands of these people the means to enforce acceptance of the false teachings they themselves had established, if necessary through violence, torture, and condemnation.
And so, over the course of the centuries, My simple instruction to live love was presented in an ever more complicated way and reduced to observance of regulations, ceremonies, membership, and belief in Me alone. Living that faith in everyday life as well, with all the difficulties this entails, became secondary.
At the same time, over the last decades, it created an enormous structure of distractions and entertainment and of pleasures that are highly interesting and diverting for you; and your technological progress, which it itself helped to stimulate, has suited it very well and still does. Its efforts in this field have not yet come to an end. It still has much planned—but its plans will be thwarted.
Everything it staged and will continue to stage serves one purpose alone: to distract you, to keep you from coming to rest, and in this way to lead you farther and farther away from Me, who live within you. For who manages to say “no” to all the many offerings, or to choose only what, after examination, is suitable for him? Set against this are your many obligations, your fear of not meeting the demands placed upon you and, of course, the not entirely unjustified “concern” that you will gradually become more and more alone because you do not join the great mass and its direction.
It is not easy to free yourselves from this grip; I hardly need to emphasize that with Me it is possible. But this grip exists. It is invisible and is connected with your way of life and with the fact that all of you are more or less integrated into a system that makes you believe you have to belong to it in order to be reasonably happy and content.
Do you recognize the satanic principle? It is that close to you, even to those who believed and still believe that “the devil is soooo far away.”
In this way, most people are given the feeling that it is enough simply to go along with the current. How far removed this is from My commandment to “love God, your heavenly Father, and your neighbor as yourself”!
That is a small assessment of your present situation, one that does not even go particularly deep.

It is not only the Bible readers among you who know the words, “Whatever a person sows, that he will reap.” They are among the many words that are read and heard but to which you do not give the necessary attention because you do not see the depth of the statement. It is a kind of key that, when understood and applied, allows you to grasp many a “mystery of God.”
Here too the opposing side has had a hand in things—with serious, harmful consequences for you—by assigning to these words a meaning that is only half correct:
They are interpreted exclusively in relation to the future.
With such an interpretation, however, they say only that in the beyond a human being will reap the fruits he sowed during his lifetime on this side.
Now I ask you: When did the human being sow what confronts him now, in this life, on this day, in this moment, in his present situation? When did a child to whom little that is pleasant happens lay the seed for it? When did groups or whole peoples who are persecuted and attacked sow a correspondingly harmful seed? The answer usually consists of a shrug and the observation that one cannot penetrate the mysteries of God. Or else “chance” has to serve as the explanation, invoked whenever you have reached the end of your human understanding and at the same time refuse enlightenment from My Spirit.
According to your church teaching, I create a new soul for every newborn child. Quite apart from the fact that this would allow the human being to force Me to create a new soul—whether I intended to do so or not—simply because two people unite physically, I would also have to be highly unjust, because I would assign souls different starting conditions in different life situations.
My beloved, I am justice!
If you remain within logic and interpret the law of sowing and reaping correctly, there can be only one answer to the question of when the sowing occurred for the harvest that is being gathered today: at an earlier point in time, that is, in a previous life or in previous lives. This applies both to the individual and to humanity. With this, the question of whether a person lives only once or whether reincarnation exists has been answered.
No energy in all creation is ever lost. It can be changed, but it cannot “simply” disappear. Since through My redemptive sacrifice all will return home again, even though at present they still live on different planes, all destructive energy too will one day be transformed back into the high energy of heaven. But that time has not yet come; there is still an amount of negative energy so great that human thinking cannot grasp it.
There are two ways to neutralize harmful energy: through love, which presupposes self-knowledge, remorse, making amends, and different conduct in the future; or through the law of cause and effect taking hold, that is, beginning its work. This happens when the accumulation of harmful and destructive energies has become so great and their influence in every field so permanently strong that—with all My patience—there is no prospect of moving the one responsible, or those responsible, toward insight and a turning back.
Then the issue becomes preventing the destruction of what has been created. For that was Sadhana’s second goal, the goal of the angel who caused the Fall: to destroy what I had created after the first goal, bringing a creation of her own into being, had failed.
A glance at your media—provided they are telling you the truth—should allow those among you who have preserved or developed a sense for what is coming to sense or know that unsettled times lie ahead. Even those who have no great spiritual background or do not know the law of karma should be able to recognize this. For there is no area on your planet in which the negative has not gained a foothold. Fires are burning everywhere, and to a degree incomparable with anything else, because nothing like this has ever existed on your earth before.
Your worldwide economic interconnection alone has made you highly dependent, and a small spark is enough to make the whole thing blaze up brightly. And your climate? Your battered earth, this once beautiful planet intended to help you in your spiritual and soul development by making incarnation possible? Your health care? Your schools? Your financial system? Your willingness to put My simple teaching of love into practice? The competence, including the spiritual competence, of your leaders? And, and, and …
Everywhere My adversary and yours has managed to get more than one foot in the door. Lust for power, delusions of grandeur, and pure egoism make it easy for him to stir up wars and fan violence into flame. As a counterpoint, in your regions he offers his distractions and a standard of living satisfactory to most people, thereby causing infinitely many people to fall into a deep sleep of the soul. In other regions he proceeds differently: there he works with hunger, poverty, and oppression and thus prevents people from reflecting at all on their spiritual origin and setting out in search of the meaning and purpose of their existence.
To put it in your language, so that perhaps those who still have some difficulty with the whole subject can understand it: the barrel is full and is beginning to overflow. Whoever believes Me and looks at the world with open eyes can already recognize the beginnings of the overflow.
Many of your seers and prophets have for decades and centuries foretold the time that now lies ahead of you. What is coming will surprise above all those who have never been interested in it because, amid their busyness and distractions, they found no time to stop for once and think a little. And yet in the meantime many have realized that things cannot continue like this. Once more: slowly but surely the wheel is turning toward chaos, and it is running faster and faster.
But I will not allow the home of My earthly children to be permanently destroyed. I will shape a “new earth,” and on it those will find their home who build up, who are positive, who do not merely profess Me with their lips but live with Me and strive to see in their neighbor their brother and sister, whom they are called to love.
Naturally, the question now burns in many hearts as to when this will take place. At the same time, however, you also know that I do not answer such questions. But this much: it will not happen from one day to the next, in one stroke or overnight. Yet the pauses between the “impacts” will become shorter and shorter, and you will read and hear ever more rapidly of new catastrophes and disasters and ominous developments.
Therefore engage inwardly with what I have revealed to you. Do not put anything off in the belief that there is still plenty of time. If you have recognized the truth in My words, then there is no reason not to make at once decisions intended to initiate a change within you with My help. But not out of fear; rather because you have recognized that you are children of My love who have the desire to become love again as well.

My sons and daughters, I deliberately chose clear and forceful language so that My word does not simply fade away somewhere but leaves a strong and clear echo within you. Even if one person or another may not see it this way: it is My love for you that causes Me to open your eyes and make you sensitive to what is happening around you.
At the same time I tell you—and I cannot repeat this often enough—that even though the times ahead will not be easy, I am nevertheless able to guide you safely through them, provided you reach out your hand to Me and do not let go of My hand even when, figuratively speaking, things become quite stormy.
It will not always go well and smoothly for everyone, nor will every problem immediately vanish into thin air, but there will nevertheless be a great difference between turning toward Me and staying close to Me, and trying, in reliance on your own abilities and possibilities and with worldly means, to act in self-will.
Whoever wanted to know could learn before his incarnation approximately what awaited him during his journey on earth. It was not all sunshine and roses, for he understood that he would enter the domain of the forces of darkness. But many, very many, nevertheless decided to incarnate because they wanted to help bring light into your world and thus build a counterforce to the dark and destructive power.
Truly, I tell you, that counterforce has been built, and it is strengthened from day to day by further brothers and sisters from realms of light in the soul world who stand by Me and by those who strive sincerely.
That is why it is important that you not hang your heads, but go joyfully through your day and express your love through your trust in Me. Do not allow difficulties and annoyances, not even in thought, to cloud our relationship. Certainly the opposing side will repeatedly try to do this and at times will succeed, but when you notice it, come immediately into My arms.
The adversary naturally does everything he can to make the path at My hand more difficult for you. He has the freedom to do so, the freedom to measure himself against children of God. But you have the same freedom, namely to reject him. And if you are watchful, he will not succeed in seriously disturbing our fellowship.
This way of living with Me—that is, not merely believing in Me—is like an insurance policy. Through it I tell you that you stand under My protection and that it is entirely unnecessary to burden yourselves with any fears. And your daily closeness to Me brings something else with it: you become stronger and stronger, brighter and brighter, and for your fellow human beings you develop into a center of calm to which they can come when they are restless and weighed down by worries.
In this way you become a proclaimer of My love—through your life! And at the same time you fulfill what you resolved “above”: to be there for your neighbor when he needs you.
I need you for this task. And so My serious words are not intended to pull you down, but on the contrary to encourage you to become visibly the light that you have been within since eternity.
Amen
(1) Sometimes it can be helpful and good
Sometimes it can be helpful and good,
to put yourself in the devil’s place.
For surely there can be little doubt
that he carries out his work with diligence.
What do you mean? Your name is not Faust at all?
Ah, I think the name is not so important to him.
If only you underestimate him—preferably thoroughly—
that is enough for him. And that you trust him.
He uses his advantage when he senses
that there is someone who has never looked at himself,
who does not know himself at all. Then he has already taken note
and—before the person scarcely notices—seduced him.
