Infinite Love

Divine Revelation

Infinite love fills and sustains My creation. Infinite love is the Source of all life—and infinite love is I, who am who I am! Everything that is has come forth from My love and carries the same love within itself. It is a love that you do not know as human beings, which in some quiet moments you may perhaps begin faintly to sense; a love that lies beyond your ideas and beyond your limits.

But even if you cannot—not yet—truly feel yourselves to be children of this great, infinite love because you walk this earth as human beings, I nevertheless tell you: “You, and you, and you—each one of you carries it within as a divine inheritance.”

Whoever can grasp it, let him grasp it!

When you look into the world, you do not see much of this great love which, if you believe My words, is nevertheless at work throughout the whole creation. You see distress, misery, shortcomings, aggression, and fear, including in your own personal sphere. And so some among you ask themselves: How does this discrepancy arise if love is at work in everything? Why is it so rarely found, and why do I not always find it within myself either?

I will briefly go back to the Fall, which was the trigger for the emergence of the realms outside heaven and eventually also of the material universe. On earth, which was created as a planet of schooling to make possible the return of My fallen children, the first souls eventually incarnated.

By now a great distance lies between the pure, selfless love that operates in heaven and matter and human beings with their behavior. This distance must be bridged and finally removed entirely from the world; and according to your sense of justice it would surely be only fair if those who created this distance also removed it again, thereby enabling themselves to return home, back to the place they once left. But My soul-children and human children no longer possessed the power and ability to do so. Even though in some the desire to return to the Father’s house as the prodigal son or prodigal daughter was very strong, figuratively speaking the distance between infinite love and the human ego had become so great that it was no longer possible for the human being to bridge what separated him from Me.

In this difficult time, when My children no longer knew what to do, or in part no longer even knew what they were doing, I decided to go to them. I took the necessary step toward My children in order to bring them the help and power they urgently needed. For My love could not accept losing even a single child. And so I initiated the return by becoming human.

You celebrate this day as My birth, as Christmas; yet very few know its meaning. Thirty-three years later I completed My mission of redemption on Golgotha; you celebrate that day as Easter. With this the return had been set in motion. Heaven had opened again, and everyone who had the desire to return home was now able to do so.

Infinite love had begun to bring its children home again.

In countless revelations I have spoken to you about the meaning of your earthly life, about the many possibilities your daily life offers you, about the support you receive from the Spirit. Therefore I will not deepen this subject today, for everyone who reads and hears My word with an open heart is conscious that the earth is a school that gives incarnated souls—that is, human beings—the possibility to learn, purify themselves, and thereby rise into higher spiritual realms. Only this much: every soul determines its incarnation, its circumstances, and its time itself; no soul is pressured or even forced. In the ideal case, if it listens to the counsel of its spiritual guide, it knows exactly what awaits it.

You also know that after so-called bodily death the soul goes into the realms that correspond to its own condition, that is, to the consciousness the human being developed over the course of his life. For the human being himself has shaped his soul through everything good and less good that he placed within it. You also know the saying: As the tree falls, so it lies. But you know relatively little about the possibilities for further development of the soul, which at its transition does not yet carry within itself the high vibration of heaven that is the prerequisite for entering heaven. No soul can mature to absolute perfection in one earthly life; even if its light can become a bright and brightest ray, on the other side it will still not be able immediately to enter its heavenly home through the rose gate.

What possibilities, then, exist for souls to draw nearer to their goal, their eternal home? As a rule, arriving souls still have a number of things to learn, and this can happen in many different ways. Your guardian angels and spiritual teachers are always there to move you toward insight, to show you the steps that advance you, and then to walk the next part of your path together with you. It is a development that takes place stage by stage. Like the rungs of a ladder, the soul that is ready to change and allow itself to be guided climbs the ladder until in the end it has reached the top of the ladder, which ends in heaven.

In principle every soul must undergo this development. But the starting situation of every soul is very different, as is its strength, both of which depend on the condition of its soul. Many a soul that during earthly life never concerned itself with spiritual things lives in complete ignorance of its situation and, depending on the severity of its burden, also in darkness and cold.

But I, infinite love, carry all of them in My heart to the same degree. It therefore makes no difference to Me whether a soul denied or fought Me, whether it still does so in the beyond, or whether it longs for Me and joyfully hurries toward My outstretched arms—every soul receives the same love, while My help is suited to the soul’s level of consciousness.

In My wisdom I have an immeasurable number of possibilities for guiding My children in the beyond. I want to give you only a few examples:

It may be that I let images of a soul’s past life arise within it so that it is confronted with what it itself stored in its soul-coverings; or that I foster within it the insight: Here and there I did not act out of love for my neighbor; or that I awaken remorse within it and the desire to be allowed to make amends. What kind of Father would I be if I watched many a child of Mine live in distress and hardship or even merely vegetate, without giving it the opportunity to find its way out again from its joyless and painful existence?

Other soul-children whose consciousness is already open are instructed by their angels; and they joyfully follow these instructions because with every task they master they become freer and freer. They experience how their surroundings change, their clothing, their appearance, their home, how they meet old and new friends, and much more. In every case, however, they feel the unconditional love that, wherever they go and whatever they do, gives them an example. And so within them grows the motivation not to let up on their path to their eternal home.

Still others voluntarily take on the task of serving—perhaps because they have a deficit in this area—and make life easier for the poor and poorest in the lower astral realms. Or they travel as companions, as helpers of the guardian angels, in order in this way to learn selfless service to their neighbor.

And then, My beloved sons and daughters, among the many possibilities I have still another: I make use of the magnetism that exists between Me and My creatures. I am infinite love, and you carry this love within you—and by this path I reach you. Thus it can happen that I allow a soul a vision of its eternal home, its heavenly goal, when I see that longing is beginning to stir within My child. What is this vision about?

Like a ray of light, I open a path that begins in My heart and ends in the heart of My child. And I let My child look into My heart and experience the love that waits for My child, and with this love also the beauty, the light, eternity, freedom, infinite harmony, indescribable happiness, and much more. Do you believe that a child could remain indifferent to or resist these “overflowing” inner feelings and refuse not to follow this courtship of love? I tell you: every soul that experiences such a thing will be touched to the very foundations of its being and will have only one desire, one goal: to be again with and within this love!

At the same time, however, it will recognize its own situation and see the path that lies before it, and that path will seem infinitely long. If the desire is there, paths and solutions can be found to shorten the duration of the journey. The guardian angels approach this soul and show it the possibilities it has. They will make clear to it that it has the choice to remain in the realms beyond, continuing to grow and mature, or, through another earthly life, to learn what it still lacks in the capacity to love, or perhaps also to lay aside burdens it still carries within itself that still require purification and transformation.

The soul therefore has the possibility of incarnating again. If the incarnation is well prepared, and if the soul’s longing and love for Me, its Father, are great enough, then its new incarnation will also be a success; a success in the sense that during the brevity of earthly time it can cover a far greater stretch of the path back to Me than would be possible for it in the beyond—its present home—despite all instruction and help. For the great advantage of another earthly life consists in coming together with a multitude of very different people and their characters and qualities, indeed in being confronted with them, so as finally to recognize oneself in them and bring about changes. In the subtle realms, where a soul is together with other souls of similar or the same consciousness, learning and working with them, this concentrated form of confrontation—meant in the positive sense—does not exist.

There are other reasons for an incarnation, but they are not to be My subject today. Today I wanted to draw attention to the possibilities that infinite love holds ready for its children, to the prospects that arise for every soul, for example the chance of another incarnation in order to find the way home again all the sooner.

There are many different ideas about reincarnation in this world. Some reject it, others allow it only as an exception, while still others regard it as a rule, like a wheel that turns without interruption. My beloved sons and daughters, you have a heart and you have an intellect. Use both in the right measure and consider:

If a soul has free will—and I tell you: all creatures have free will—how can anyone predict whether and when, and how many, few, or no further incarnations will take place? Does this not depend solely on the soul’s decision? It may be that a soul prefers to continue its further path to Me in the beyond. It has the right to do so. But it may also be that in free decision it chooses the path through the earth, and that it does so once again and then again because this corresponds to its inner feeling and the condition of its soul. Therefore: an incarnation is neither a must nor an automatic process nor a punishment. It is My helping hand to My child in order to shorten its path back to Me. Whether it will “most probably” or only “possibly” shorten it—that in turn lies in My child’s willingness to recognize and learn corresponding things in its life.

Today I have conveyed knowledge to you because for one person or another it is good and important. In doing so I have drawn a great arc and shown you connections that can make it easier for you now to find answers to your questions yourselves. But at the same time I tell you: this knowledge is not decisive for your path to Me! What is decisive is that you understand the meaning of your life, that in every encounter, every hour, and every circumstance you recognize the opportunity your incarnation offers you, and that you seize this opportunity in free decision. To make this possible for you, to accompany you on your path into the heavens that have been opened again, for this I, universal love, became human.

One of your brothers, whom you call a mystic, coined the saying that if Jesus is not born within you, it would be of no use to you even if He were born a thousand times in Bethlehem. I remind you of this. When I am reborn within you through the desire to become love, then Christmas has come within you.

Then begins the path of love, which is not marked by outward things but is walked within—at My hand, until we are united again. Infinite love waits for every single child.

And so I bless My entire creation, I bless you in this circle, and I bless you, you souls. Unimaginable powers of light flow into the hearts that open to Me. Come, come! Let Christmas come within you! I, infinite love, am waiting for you.

Amen.
