Divine Revelation
My beloved sons and daughters, anyone who thinks even a little and does not go through the day with eyes and ears closed must notice that some things in your world have changed drastically. Yet people move past this all too quickly, if only because everything is attributed to so-called “chance,” and hardly anyone takes the trouble to apply the principle of sowing and reaping to everything that happens in creation.
What looks like a great jumble, like chaos and disintegration in every area, and gives the impression that the good forces under My guidance have lost control, is in reality a logical sequence of situations and events whose origins lie infinitely long ago—in aeons past. The rebellion of a portion of the angels led to the fall of the angels, also called the Fall, and this ultimately led to the formation of matter. To make possible the return of those who had fallen away, I Myself came into the world in Jesus of Nazareth and, with My “It is accomplished” on Golgotha, reopened the heavens that until then had been closed. In many revelations I have explained to you the details of this unique process.
Although the darkness is aware that it cannot emerge victorious from this confrontation, it continued by every means its efforts to influence and bind human beings. In doing so, it entangled people more and more deeply in the law of cause and effect, so skillfully and according to such a sophisticated plan that hardly anyone noticed that the side of the scales holding what was sinful and evil was filling more and more and sinking ever lower.
Hardly anyone has seen through the carefully planned chess moves and maneuvers of the darkness, one building upon another, because behind them lies precision work against which an unbelieving and ignorant humanity has nothing to set.
But heaven plans as well—and not only that. On the basis of My divine laws, which are selfless and unconditional love, it also puts its plans into effect with the help of an immeasurable number of spirit beings. And since there is no greater power and force than love, and My laws work without error, the outcome of this great confrontation is already decided.
What makes it difficult or even impossible for you to look behind the scenes and grasp, at least in broad outlines, the connections within global events is your limited view of the here and now. This also applies to the meaning and purpose of your earthly life; and in addition, your lack of knowledge about what takes place at birth and at what you mistakenly call death prevents understanding.
And because you wander about like blind people in the darkest night, My opponent and yours has such an easy time controlling you and leading you ever more deeply into the tangle of uncertainty and doubt, at the end of which—if anything remains at all—there is only a superficial faith, not infrequently followed in the end by a rejection of everything divine and spiritual. In this way he succeeds in hindering your spiritual development, which means that when souls enter the worlds beyond, they remain in regions that still belong to the domain of Satan and his demons.
From the beginning, therefore, it was the aim of the powers of darkness to suppress insight into the meaning of earthly life and the path connected with it that leads back into the light. One way this was done was by turning the “signpost” of My teaching by only a few degrees, something I am not revealing to you for the first time; for it is much easier and more effective to present someone with a twisted signpost pointing in the wrong direction than to claim: There is no God!
The twisting of the signpost of My teaching took place gradually, in carefully coordinated steps, and it was all the more effective because it was not carried out by just anyone, but by those who called themselves—and still call themselves today—“God’s representatives on earth.” Under the threat of eternal punishments in hell, it could be fixed in the minds of church Christians. In the process, an image of Me was drawn, and is still maintained, that has not even the remotest connection with what I truly am:
Omnipresent and everlasting love, which brought forth a creation that is eternal development and that has and uses every possibility to bring back into unity what was temporarily separated through the Fall.
*
My creation is infinite evolution. Space and time are dimensions, your “realities,” that exist only in matter. As soon as you leave matter again, when and because your subtle soul separates from your solid-material body, you enter spheres in which most of you do not believe. You then live outside time and space. Measured by the “duration” you spend there, your existence in matter is no more than the blink of an eye in eternity. And yet it is so infinitely important!
Try to recognize the following as an unshakable truth and inscribe it within yourselves:
Nothing that I have ever created and continue ceaselessly to create ever falls prey to annihilation. But that also means that no energy that has arisen through a violation of My commandment of love simply dissolves by itself. And that in turn means: Everything, regardless of when it was “brought into the world,” still exists and, according to a rhythm known and determined only by Me, waits to flow out as an effect—unless a turning back has first taken place through insight, remorse, and making amends.
There is no standstill in My creation. Everything is movement, everything is life from and in Me! I taught nothing different as Jesus of Nazareth, though not in the details I reveal in the present time, because the consciousness of the people then was not yet mature enough for explanations that went further and deeper.
Only with the inner knowledge that I neither destroy nor annihilate anything, and that I do not punish, can an image take firm root in the hearts of My human children that proclaims My unconditional love. But because this did not fit into the plan of the darkness, over the course of the centuries a different image of Me had to be drawn and maintained to this day:
An image that does not withstand closer examination because it is completely illogical in itself, but that served to cement, to some extent, the power apparatus of the church rulers. This succeeded under the threat of eternal punishments in hell among the countless people who had made themselves dependent on My “successor organization” and its offshoots and still are today—often across many incarnations, across many centuries and millennia.
The all-decisive step in falsifying My teaching was taken when the law of cause and effect was stripped of the central role it occupies within the process of bringing My children home. This fundamental principle is still found in your Scripture today, but it leads an insignificant shadow existence and is interpreted exclusively in relation to the future: “What you sow today, you will reap tomorrow”—with a view to conduct that conforms to church law, because serious violations of church teachings, whose foundations are supposed to be My truths, are said to result in never-ending torments of hell. The corresponding dogmas remain valid1) even today, although for understandable reasons they are no longer placed in the foreground.
No one ever came to the idea of asking when a human being had sown what he is reaping today, and no one does anymore …
The devilish pseudo-logic works like this: If there is no cause for an event that lies in the past—which inevitably must lead to the view that either everything happens by chance or I act arbitrarily—then the same applies to the process of becoming human, including the soul, without which a human being is not a human being.
The soul, the invisible, subtle, spiritual being, is therefore not denied; on the contrary, it is extremely important for keeping believers in line, because life after death depends on its condition. The threat of punishment or torments of hell therefore makes sense only if there is still “something” there that can feel the consequences of sinfulness. After all, the material structure, the human being, no longer exists. It has fulfilled its task of serving as a “vehicle” for an incarnation of the soul. Without this vehicle the soul would have no possibility of existing on and in matter and therefore could not mature, through the experiences it makes or is meant to make in an incarnation, to the hoped-for or desired degree.
Further development in the beyond without one or more additional incarnations is possible only if, after leaving its earthly body, the soul enters correspondingly bright and light regions of the subtle world that lie beyond the reach of the darkness. Yet even then, for reasons I will address later, many souls once again choose a path that leads through matter.
*
How, then, does a human being come to have a soul—his soul? According to church teaching, whenever a human being is conceived, the soul is created by God out of nothing.2) That means: Two people, through a physical union that leads to a pregnancy, force Me to create a soul—whether I had intended or wanted to do so or not!
Your logic of the heart is called for!
In early Christianity, one of your church teachers held the view that a human being’s soul has a past; that at birth it enters the new, small earthly body, shaping it on the one hand by what it brings with it and, on the other hand, being shaped throughout a lifetime by the person’s conduct. At death the soul leaves the body again, enters worlds beyond and, if this is its will and desire, can, under conditions established in My law, enter matter again at a birth.3)
Because such thinking and knowledge did not serve the interests of the opposing forces—for it would have enabled people to recognize many things and would have given their lives a clear direction—the teachings of this spiritual teacher were condemned, and belief in them was placed under the curse of eternal damnation.4)
The fact that today most members of a Christian church do not believe in physical rebirth may show you how effectively the opposing side works. Therefore My question to those who have difficulty accepting reincarnation:
Do you believe in a single incarnation of the soul because the teachings of your religion prescribe it that way? Or have you arrived at this view through your own reflection because it seems more logical and just to you than the possibility I have provided of repeated earthly lives, which is founded in My grace and love? Have you examined the consistency of your church teachings, or have you simply adopted them, like so many other things? And what if something else had been presented to you as an article of faith?
If one or another of you feels affected when answering My questions honestly, this can be seen as a sign of how sophisticated indoctrination can be.
What on the surface looks as though it were “only” about the question, “Reincarnation—yes or no?” in reality has a completely different and much greater dimension, a far more wide-reaching significance that is scarcely suspected, let alone understood. Here too you can see how skillfully and effectively the opposing forces plan far in advance and then carry out their plans.
The situation into which humanity has brought itself could arise only because a) the law of sowing and reaping was and is not taken into account in everything that is lived, and because b) it is not known that, and in what way, both the dark side of evil and the bright side of heaven repeatedly send their faithful to earth in order to direct human conduct and, connected with it, the fate of their planet according to their respective aims.
Heaven does this by respecting human free will and working through enlightenment, admonition, spiritual help, and example. The darkness proceeds differently: It incites the human ego with its lower instincts and many facets, with the desire to exercise power playing an important role, both in great world politics and in the small domains of marriage, family, and communities.
If you acknowledge that so-called chance does not exist, then you must also take the next step that follows from this and accept that every event is a sequence of individual events and situations that together make up the whole. One influences another; one builds upon another. Nothing ever stands entirely on its own. As far as the fate of humanity is concerned, the beginning was made by the rebellion against Me, which led to the fall of the angels and ultimately to the formation of matter. The provisional end will be the restoration of unity, but there can and will be no real end, because in Me everything is continually developing further.
Because everything has its past, it is so important that you learn to think beyond space and time. Otherwise your view of the things you perceive around you will always remain fragmentary. You will then be unable to grasp them in depth, which inevitably leads you to a hasty and mistaken opinion or judgment. Thus there is a danger that you will become a plaything in the hands of your opponent.
This applies to everything that takes place before your eyes, and very specifically now to the increasingly acute situation in your world. But it applies equally to the way you view your neighbor and his conduct, which as a rule you interpret thoughtlessly and incorrectly because you see only a small section of an eternal existence, without the many stages that have made your neighbor, with all his weaknesses and strengths, what he is today.
What applies to every human being also applies to you yourselves.
I did not create you as you are now. Rather, you represent the sum of your efforts or omissions up to now with regard to My commandment of love, which as a rule extend over several or many incarnations. My wish is that, through your decisions and actions and with My help, you make this incarnation your last or one of your last, and then continue your way to Me in the beyond without entering planet Earth again. The efforts of My opponent and yours are directed toward exactly the opposite.

The suppression of the knowledge of My instrument for bringing home called “sowing and reaping,” and of physical rebirth, was one of evil’s strategic moves that had an extremely devastating effect on human spiritual development and on the growth of the soul. It contributed decisively to humanity’s side of the scales becoming ever more filled with all that was sinful until it finally struck the ground. Now—everything within the framework of My eternal laws—processes are being set in motion that on the one hand will assume dimensions never before seen, yet on the other hand will scarcely be connected by anyone with wrong conduct, wrong because it is loveless, that has been practiced for as long as humanity can remember; its consequences from the past now reach into the present and the future and will decisively shape the time that lies ahead of you.
The prevailing ignorance, together with laziness in thinking and an unwillingness to give up what has become familiar, will prevent most people from gaining insight into connections that are spiritual in nature. The deniers or the ignorant are like a student who at the end of the school year stands dumbfounded holding a poor report card because, for lack of instruction, he had no idea that through failing to study he himself had sown the seed for the negative grade.
What, My sons and daughters, was the intention of the darkness when it planned these steps far in advance and gradually initiated them through its influence on people who, because of the condition of their souls, were open to its whisperings? It had to prevent souls, through practicing My teaching of love, from developing so far that after their “death” they would find a new home in higher-vibrating spheres. Little by little, that would have weakened its apparatus of power and ultimately led to its dissolution or transformation.
Preventing knowledge of the law of cause and effect in its full scope from becoming common knowledge meant that people were—and are—left facing “a thousand question marks.” In answer to their questions they receive a shrug or the terse explanation that no one can penetrate the mysteries of God. The door was thereby opened wide to speculation of every kind, to anger and despair, to turning away from Me and refusing obedience to an unjust God.
And not only that: If a higher power is unable to ensure a just balancing and hold the offender accountable for his deeds, then the human being must play judge himself so that justice may be served. God, after all, quite obviously stands by and does nothing.
And so people became entangled again and again, and ever more deeply, in a tangle of blow and counterblow5), of revenge and retaliation, and—often in the sincere belief that they were doing the right thing—piled one further violation of My commandment of love upon another. And so on and so forth …6)
Anyone who has not learned, or has not yet learned, to think beyond space and time will view every event as something that stands by itself without anything preceding it, that is, without any connection to causes of any kind.
My beloved, no energy is ever lost! Nothing sets itself right again on its own! The Fall is the best example of this truth: It took place infinitely long ago, a turning back has not yet occurred, and therefore things have not yet been restored to order. This principle applies throughout My creation. It applies to every conflict, every catastrophe, every misfortune, every serious discord—simply to everything.
From My explanations you can recognize how narrow and short-sighted it is to believe that you can correctly judge what is apparent. This applies both to great and small events in the world and to your neighbor. Most of your discussions about who is right or wrong in a particular situation, or who may or should react in one way or another, lack any spiritual foundation. This does not mean that you may not recognize and name an injustice as such. It is meant, however, to protect you from hastily believing that you know the truth merely because you have one segment before you, one tiny segment among many.
And because My love also includes justice, it follows—even though this will provoke opposition in more than a few—that there can be no injustice! There is only ignorance and lack of understanding. There are only eyes and ears that are still held shut; there are unanswered questions because your consciousness is not yet able to penetrate many things; there are answers withheld from you in your own interest. But there is no injustice in Me.
*
Events on your earth are moving toward a provisional climax. The opposing forces do not merely stand by and allow this; they have done everything to promote such a process. This includes repeatedly sending souls into matter who, because of their character and their past, are especially well suited to represent the interests of evil. Here they create unrest and apparent injustice in order to bring many people to abandon their faith in Me and in what is good, and, because of their ignorance, to move them toward wrong conduct.
But I have said that heaven, too, has sent its faithful to earth and is sending them in greater numbers in your present time. As a rule, souls that are already at home in bright regions of the subtle world have no need for another earthly life. They can continue to develop in their own spheres with the goal of eventually entering the perfection of the heavens. And yet it often happens—and at present very often—that many souls, out of love for their brothers and sisters on earth, choose an incarnation in order to make their contribution to the victory of the light.
This naturally applies just as much to spiritual beings whose home is in the pure heavens. Figuratively speaking, they have taken their place at Christ’s side in order to help in the time to come. This has been happening for a long time, not only in your time. Once incarnated, they themselves no longer know of their decision or of the home they voluntarily left, because the memory of their past is covered over. Yet besides their love for Me and for you, they carry within them a light that I repeatedly rekindle and strengthen.
The number of those who love Me and you and for this reason have gone into the flesh is large—so large that you would stare in disbelief if your inner eyes could already see.
Naturally they are a thorn in the side of the darkness, and they are therefore attacked especially often and skillfully, with the aim of making life difficult for them and, if possible, bringing them down. But on the other side all the powers of heaven are available to them as well.
Do you already sense it, or perhaps even know it, My beloved son, My beloved daughter—what the motives for your incarnation were?
In closing, I once again lay My request upon your hearts: Develop the willingness to learn to think beyond space and time. New horizons will then open within you, helping you in the future to see some things, perhaps many things, in a different light. This will deepen your understanding and protect you from drawing false conclusions too hastily or making wrong decisions.
Amen
1) Dogma is dogma. It can no longer be withdrawn or changed, because it is proclaimed as “the will revealed by God.”
2) Karl Rahner († March 30, 1984), one of the leading dogmatic theologians, wrote on this: “It is fundamentally emphasized that the soul is created immediately by God out of nothing, that it therefore does not belong to the divine substance, and that it never leads a pre-bodily life …”
3) Origen, one of the great teachers of the Church (185–253): “Every soul comes into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its previous life. Its place in this world is determined by its former merits or failures.”
4) The teachings of Origen were condemned at the Synod of Constantinople in the year 543: “Whoever says or maintains that human souls had a previous existence, that is, that they had previously been spirits and powers, but became weary of the divine vision, turned toward evil, therefore grew cold in the love of God, thus received the name ‘souls,’ and were banished into bodies as punishment for this, let him be excluded.”
5) Jesus to Peter: “Put your sword back into its sheath. For whoever takes the sword will perish by the sword.” In our present-day understanding: “… he keeps the wheel of sowing and reaping in motion by sowing new seed that will become his own harvest.” It could hardly be clearer.
6) The Soul Keeps Debit and Credit
You insist upon your right,
that the other one is bad,
so you think, and give no rest.
“I showed him what was what,
he bowed before me,”
you recount with great display.
Yes, if you only strike,
and because you do not know
that the soul keeps debit and credit,
it seems bold to you,
and every cause will serve
you for a quarrel in which to revel.
You still do not see
that it may also be
you are merely paying old debts.
You sow new seed,
and so the wheel keeps turning—
one word only, and you could stop it.
