Now the spirit-germ stands at the outer boundary of the Ethereal World. The earth, however, is that gross material point at which all that rests in Creation comes together.

OloyeVIII:Why? |
If human opinions or human views, including those connected to the subject of earthly justice, are to be bound to be in stark contrast to Divine Justice. Much has changed since then. But inevitably the time will also come when one will look with similar If we look deeper though, we find that the apparently great progress made between then and now lies be recalled as a warning when handing down sentences today, particularly since those who practiced such of judgment, which will refuse to lean blindly on the opinions of others but will only accept, think, speak sensationalism, or by showing prejudice and slandering, which will lead them into regions of suffering burnings at the stake, the tortures and murders which have to be charged to the accounts of the religious spoken of, then one must not expect them to be the same as Divine Justice, or even to come near to it. On having been asleep for so long. Blessed is he who reaches this height and weighs every judgment he is confronted with, and then acts to do so. Man must never forget that he personally must take full and complete responsibility for everything from right, because this can rarely be perceived clearly by outward appearances, as it really lies deep whole existence of many a man without the one wielding it being held responsible here on earth, is still them out, because in so doing they abused the Name of the Perfect God, committing all these crimes in evils at the time did so enthusiastically, under the pretext of acting in good faith and of having every right book learning. It is saddening that for this reason so many sentences passed down by earthly courts are while others, who have hitherto never taken the time to reflect, would be embittered beyond words at communities; and their reciprocal actions for such crimes must be doubly terrible upon those who carried from appearances only, ignoring all real life. him. Indeed no one has the right to rebuke his neighbor because up till now everyone has wrongly judged horror upon today’s administration of justice, just as with our present state of enlightenment we now look as of the so-called witch burnings and other juridical crimes. Nor need we touch upon the numerous certain kind of progress. merely in the outward forms. The immense power held by some individuals, which cuts so deeply into the the same in many respects. Nor have men and the motives which dictate their actions changed very much. If mankind suddenly becameseeing in these matters the result would be one great cry of despair. for in one way or another each individual would be bound to feel the same burden of guilt oppressing and act according to its own intuitions! in accordance with his own intuitions. By so doing he will not become so deeply implicated as thousands upon the times mentioned above in which so much injustice was done. That is the way of the world, and a this connection the popular expression “as far apart as heaven and earth” is appropriate in the literal His Name as if they were supposed to be agreeable to Him, and thereby stamping Him in the eyes of men If the first ray of Light could penetrate them without them being prepared for it many would despair, Therefore it is appropriate now to urge man to reflect calmly and to develop his own impartial power he perceives, thinks and does, even if he has accepted it from others without question! the contrary, it must unfortunately be said that in most cases they are as far apart as heaven and earth. In sense. This difference can often be explained as being due to the human intellect, which is limited to space and time and because of this limitation it is unable to recognize the actual wrong and distinguish it within each human being, and cannot be sufficiently interpreted by the rigid paragraphs of the law or by as answerable for them. These abuses and cruelties should not be so quickly forgotten, but should always be the same. Horror would come over all peoples. No one would then raise his hand in reproach against his neighbor, We need not talk about the time of the Middle Ages, of the sad times of excruciating tortures, as well ofotherswhooftenburdenthemselveswithheavykarmathroughmerethoughtlessnessand And where the inner life is still the same the reciprocal actions contained in the Divine Judgment will also and torment they need never have experienced.

Such was the case with the senseless and blazing hatred against Jesus of Nazareth the real reason for perhaps gamble away everything, even their whole existence. Then, however, it is too late. The guilt with which they have burdened themselves must be expiated false opinions of others, and who did not even listen to His words, much less troubled themselves to He who feels the urge to distinguish between Divine Justice and earthly views in the process of Soon his own intuitive capacity will unfold more strongly and actively, until he finally casts off all through their false views. Their number is large and indeed many, with unsuspecting arrogance, are even entirely different from the conceptions they formed through their convictions. Excuses never carry any weight in these matters. Everyone can know if he so wishes! reciprocal actions should make the effort of taking any example from earth-life and examining it with the reciprocal currents, that is to say, how many, in good faith, have transgressed against the Divine Laws The way to recognition is long and arduous for a man who has wasted the good opportunity of being into personal contact with Him, merely worked themselves up into a completely blind and ignorant frenzy And mankind has by no means progressed inwardly since then, but expecially in this they have The only thing that advanced because of their outward successes is mankind’s conceit which, borne withblasphemy and brought to the cross!

Man’s conception of life has so far been erroneous. All that he has called life is nothing but impelled from a different perspective. Here again the expression “Primordial Light” is just as false as the expression “Primordial Power”, for himself is a product of this motion. As it was the highest he could comprehend he simply called it radiation. Thus it issues from God and proceeds into fabulous distances, the extent of which a human Thus he who would speak of the discovery of Primordial Power, or even of the exploitation of own idea. Such a man thereby proves that he has no idea of the processes in Creation, or of Creation it could not be called “Life”. Such Life, however, is in God alone! And since besides God nothing is truly can be no other movement in it than the absolute, taut forward motion, which is an intrinsic quality of the itself, for which however, he cannot be blamed, for he shares his ignorance withall his fellow-men, Creation is formed, maintained and again disintegrated by movement alone, we cannot speak either of Hence all that exists outside of God has its origin only in the radiation of God!

Creation at all. He mistakes something else for it and erroneously calls it “power” in accordance with his necessary for Creation. Therefore in the whole of Creation it is only the after-effect of this more or less strong motion, which whether they are learned or uneducated. Radiation, however, is not the Light Itself! men. his own existence and evolution, which survey harmonizes in every way. description is novel, rather it changes nothing of my previous explanations,but everything remains exactly In so doing I provide a solid foundation, a large vessel, into which man can place all that has been Primordial Power, or simply the “Power”, so often referred to! And again, in this Power there is Light! For this reason I have spoken from the very beginning in my Message of a “power” streaming as I have stated, and it is real. What I am now saying only appears to be new because this time I explain it motion, which must be regarded as merely the natural effect of real life. It is neither power nor life, however, but only a natural and inevitable effect of these, for power only forms, matures, maintains and dissolves everything. The human intellect has investigated this motion as exists in life itself, is one with it and inseparable from it. Since power and life are inseparable, and since Otherwise they would not have grasped my explanations at all. Now, however, I can go further in LivingLight,theLivingPower,cannotavoidradiations.Andtheseradiationscontainallthatis being the highest, finding his limits therein. Man cannot proceed further in his investigation because he “power” or “living power” or he simply called it “life”. spirit is unable to imagine. however, is a natural effect of the Light.

Thus He and He alone is the Life, real Life, is something completely autonomous, something completely independent.

The very fact that there is another Commandment which states: “Do not let thyself lust after thy neighbor’s wife!” shows how little the meaning of this Sixth Commandment corresponds to the respective earthly laws. “Thou shalt not commit adultery” can also read: “Thou shalt not break the peace of a marriage!” By peace one naturally understands also harmony. That at the same time stipulates what a marriage should really be like; for where there is nothing to break or to disturb, the Commandment, which is not governed by earthly interpretations and regulations, but by the Divine Will, does not apply either. Hence a marriage only exists where harmony and peace reign as a matter of course. Where one always seeks to live only for the other and to make him happy. One-sidedness and the deadening boredom so often leading into temptation are then completely and forever precluded from the outset, as well as the dangerous craving for distraction or the illusion of being misunderstood! Murder weapons against any happiness! These particular evils simply cannot arise in a proper marriage where one really lives for the other, because the idea of being misunderstood, and also the craving for distraction, is merely the consequence of a pronounced selfishness which seeks to live only for oneself, but not for the other! Where there is true love of soul, however, the mutual cheerful abandoning of self is something completely natural, and reciprocally, it is impossible for one party to be disadvantaged. Provided that the level of education does not show too great a gap! That is a condition required by the Law of the Attraction of Homogeneous Species in the great Universe, which must be complied with if happiness is to be complete. But where peace and harmony are not to be found, the marriage does not deserve to be called marriage; for then it is not one, but merely an earthly partnership which as such obtains no value before God, and therefore cannot bring blessing in that sense which is to be expected in a true marriage. Hence the sixth Commandment, as a strict prerequisite, relates to real marriage according to the Will of God! No other kind is protected. But woe unto him who dares to disturb a true marriage in any way! For the triumph which he imagines he has gained here on earth awaits him in quite a different form in the ethereal world! Horrified, he would like to flee from it, when he has to cross into the realm where it awaits him. It is adultery in the most far-reaching sense where even the attempt is made to separate two souls who truly love one another, as is often done by parents when some earthly circumstance or other is not in accordance with their wish! And woe also to the woman, woe to the man, be they young or old, who out of envy or flirtatiousness consciously brings discord or even a rift between such a couple! Pure love between two human beings shall be sanctified before everyone; it shall inspire everyone with reverence and respect, but not with desire! For it stands under the protection of God's Will! If a feeling of such unclean desire seeks to arise in a human being, then he should turn away and look with a clear gaze only among those people who have not yet attached themselves to another soul. If he seeks earnestly and with patience, he will definitely find a person who is compatible with him in the way willed by God, with whom he will then also be happy without first burdening himself with guilt, which can never bring or warrant happiness! The great mistake of these people is often simply that they go out of their way to yield to the pressure of a feeling which at the outset is always weak, and then to retain it forcibly within, nurturing it with artificial fantasy until, gaining strength, it fills them, torments them, and even drives them to sin! Thousands of human spirits would not have to be lost if only they would always pay heed to the beginning, which, if it is not created by intellectual calculation, merely arises from a flirtatiousness unworthy of a human being, which in turn has its origin in the pernicious practices of earthly family life and particularly in social practices! It is just these which are often nothing short of marriage markets, no more decent than the undisguised slave-trade of the Orient! Therein lies a breeding-place for the seeds of adultery. You parents, be on your guard lest you become guilty of adultery in regard to your children, by being too intellectually calculating! Countless parents are already so entangled! It takes much for them to free themselves again from it! You children, be careful that you do not become breakers of the peace between your parents, or else you too will be guilty of adultery! Ponder this well. Otherwise you make yourselves enemies of your God, and there is no such enemy who would not eventually have to become subject to destruction under unspeakable agonies, without God lifting a finger! You must never destroy the peace and the harmony between two human beings. Hammer this into yourself, so that it may always stand as a warning before the eyes of your soul. — |
Yes, beat your chest, oh man, and proclaim loudly that you are no murderer! For, surely, to kill is to murder, and according to your conviction you have never transgressed this Commandment of the Lord. Proudly you can step before Him, and without fear and anxiety look forward, filled with hope, to the opening of this particular page in the Book of your Life. But have you ever considered, in this regard, that there is for you also a deadening, and that to deaden means the same as to kill? There is no difference between them. You alone made this difference up, in your form of expression, in your language; for the Commandment does not say one-sidedly: Thou shalt kill no gross material earth- life! But in a broad, comprehensive way, it says succinctly: Thou shalt not kill! For example, a father had a son. Petty ambition drove the father to insist that his son should go to college, at all costs. But this son possessed gifts that urged him to do something else, for which college would be of no use to him at all. So it was quite natural that the son felt no inclination toward such forced studies, nor was he able joyfully to summon up the energy. The son was obedient. At the expense of his health he exerted himself to comply with his father's will. However, since it was against the son's nature, against the gifts he bore within him, it was quite natural that his body also suffered under it. I will not pursue the case here any further; it is repeated in earthly life so often that the cases would run into the hundreds of thousands, and even more. But it is an irrefutable fact that through his ambition or obduracy the father here sought to deaden something in this son which was given to the son to be developed on earth! In many cases he is successful in actually deadening it, since its development in later life is hardly possible anymore, because the healthy main strength for it has been broken in its best time, wantonly wasted on things alien to the boy's nature. The father thereby committed a severe trespass against the Commandment: Thou shalt not kill! This is quite apart from the fact that by his action he deprived mankind of something which might have been of great benefit to them through the boy! However, he must consider that although the boy is or can be spiritually related to him or to the mother, nevertheless before the Creator he remains a personality of his own, whose duty it is to develop for his own benefit the gifts he received on coming to earth. Perhaps the Grace of God had thereby granted the boy redemption of a heavy karma, in that he was meant to invent something, which in some way would bring great benefit to mankind! The guilt of this prevention weighs all the more heavily upon the father or the mother, who set their petty earthly views above the great threads of fate, and thereby abused their parental power. It is no different when parents are capable of allowing the petty earthly calculations of their intellect to prevail in connection with their children's marriages. How often is a most noble intuitive perception of their child therewith ruthlessly stifled, through which action the child may indeed be given freedom from earthly cares, but at the expense of his soul's happiness, which remains more incisive for the child's existence than all money and earthly possessions. Naturally the parents should not indulge every dream or wish of a child. That would not be fulfilling their parental duty. But serious examination is demanded, which must never be one-sided in the earthly sense! However, it is just this examination in a selfless way which is seldom or never employed by parents. Such cases exist in a thousand forms. It is not necessary for me to say any more about it. Reflect on it yourselves, so that you do not transgress this most weighty Word of God in the Commandment! In so doing unimagined paths will open up to you! However, it is also possible for the child to stifle the justified hopes of its parents! If it does not develop its inherent gifts as is necessary in order to achieve great things, once the parents have accommodated the child by letting it choose the path it asked for. This, too, leads to the killing of noble intuitive perceptions in his parents, and the child has transgressed the Commandment in a ruthless way! This also applies when a man in some way deceives true friendship or the confidence someone gives to him. He therewith kills and injures in the other person something which bears real life! It is transgression of God's Word: Thou shalt not kill! It brings him bad karma for which he must atone. You see that all the Commandments are but the best friends for mankind, in order to protect them faithfully from evil and from suffering! Therefore love them and respect them as a treasure, the guarding of which brings you only joy! — |
God gave this Commandment to mankind at one time through Moses. But it has caused unspeakable anguish of soul. How many a child, how many an adult, has struggled desperately not to offend most grossly against just this Commandment. How can a child honor the father who degrades himself to the level of a drunkard; or a mother who grievously embitters the hours of the father and the entire household through her moodiness, through her unrestrained temperament, lack of self-discipline and so much else, making a peaceful atmosphere quite impossible! Can a child honor its parents when it hears them roundly abusing and deceiving each other, or even coming to blows? Many a marital incident has often made the Commandment a torment for the children, rendering it impossible of fulfillment. After all it would indeed be nothing but hypocrisy if a child were to assert that it still honored a mother when she behaves in a much more friendly way towards strangers than towards her own husband, the child's father. When it observes her tendency to superficiality, when it sees her lower herself in the most ridiculous vanity to being the weak-minded slave of every fashion fad, which so often can no longer be reconciled with the concept of earnest noble motherhood, and which deprives motherly dignity of all beauty and sublimity,... what is left for a child to base voluntary reverence for its mother on? What indeed lies in the one word: “Mother!” Yet, what does it demand. A child that is not yet contaminated must unconsciously sense within that a person of mature, serious spirit will never be able to choose to expose her physical body merely for the sake of fashion. How then can the mother remain sacred to the child! Natural reverence spontaneously deteriorates into the empty form of a dutiful habit, or depending upon the upbringing, into commonly accepted conventional politeness, and thus into hypocrisy, which lacks all upward buoyancy of the soul. Just that buoyancy which holds warm life which is indispensable to a child! And which accompanies him like a secure shield as he grows up and sets out in life, guarding him against temptations of all kinds, and remaining a strong inward refuge for him, whenever doubts of any kind assail him. Right up to old age! The word “mother” or “father” should at all times call forth a warm, fervent intuitive perception out of which the image arises before the soul in full purity, dignified, warning or assenting, as a guiding star throughout his entire earthly existence! What a treasure is now taken from every child when it cannot honor its father or its mother with its whole soul! Yet the cause of these torments of the soul is again only men's false interpretation of the Commandment. The hitherto-prevailing view was wrong; it limited the meaning, making it one-sided, while nothing sent by God can ever be one-sided. More wrong yet, however, was the distortion of this Commandment, in that it was to be improved according to human discretion, made more explicit by an addition: “Thou shalt honor thy father and thy mother!” In this way it became personal. This was bound to lead to errors; for the Commandment in its right form is only: “Thou shalt honor father and mother!” Hence it does not refer to particular, specific persons, whose nature cannot be determined and foreseen at the start. Nothing so illogical ever occurs in the Divine Laws. On no account does God demand that something be honored which does not absolutely deserve to be honored! On the contrary, this Commandment embraces the concept of fatherhood and motherhood instead of the individual personality. Therefore it does not primarily address the children but the parents themselves, demanding of them to honor fatherhood and motherhood! The Commandment imposes absolute duties upon parents, always to be fully conscious of their high task, and therewith also to bear in mind the responsibility it involves. In the beyond and in the Light one lives not with words but in concepts. For this reason putting these concepts into words can easily lead to a restriction occurring, as becomes obvious in this case. Woe unto those, however, who have not respected this Commandment, who have not taken the trouble to recognize it aright. It is no excuse that hitherto it has so often merely been misinterpreted and wrongly perceived. The consequences of not keeping the Commandment are felt even at procreation and with the entry of the soul. Things would be very different on this earth if the incisive Commandment had been understood and fulfilled by man. Quite different souls could then have incarnated, who would have been incapable of permitting the corruption of morals and ethics to such a degree as exists today! Just look at the murdering, at the wild dances, look at the orgies into which everything is building up today. The crowning, as it were, of the triumph of sultry currents of the Darkness. And look at the uncomprehending indifference with which the decline is accepted, and even encouraged as being right or as always having existed. Where is the man who takes the trouble to recognize the Will of God aright, who, swinging himself upwards, seeks to grasp the comprehensive greatness, instead of ever again stubbornly compressing this great Will into the wretched limitation of the earthly brain, which he has made into the temple of the intellect. He himself thereby forces his gaze to the ground, like a slave who walks in chains, instead of lifting it upwards, expanding it with radiant joy to meet the ray of recognition. Do you not see the pitiful position you place yourselves in with every conception of all that comes to you out of the Light! Be it Commandments, the Promises, the Message of Christ, or indeed the whole of Creation! Nothing will you see, nothing will you recognize! Indeed, you do not even seek really to understand a single thing! You do not take it as it is; rather you seek desperately to reshape everything ever again into the inferior opinions to which you have succumbed for thousands of years. Free yourselves from these traditions at last. You do have the power to do so at your disposal. At any moment. And without your having to make sacrifices. But they must be thrown off with one push, with one act of will! without eyeing it longingly, and trying to retain any of it. As soon as you try to find a transition you will never become free of what has been, but the old will ever again tenaciously drag you back. It can be easy for you only if you sever all the old with one slash, and thus step before the new without any old burden. Only then will the gate open to you; otherwise it will remain firmly shut. All that is required is one, really serious, volition. It is the happening of a single moment. Just as the awakening from sleep. If you do not rise from your bed at once you become tired again, and joy in the new day's work flags, if it is not lost altogether. Thou shalt honor father and mother! Make this now a sacred Commandment for yourselves. Bring honor to fatherhood and motherhood! Who today still knows what great dignity lies in them. And what power to ennoble mankind! Human beings who unite here on earth should become clear about this; then every marriage will be a true marriage, anchored in the spiritual! And all fathers and mothers will be honorable according to the Divine Laws! For children, however, this Commandment will become sacred and alive through their parents. They will simply be unable to do anything other than honor father and mother from out of their souls, regardless of the individual nature of these children. Indeed the very quality of their parents will compel them to do so. Woe then unto those children who do not absolutely fulfill the Commandment. A heavy karma would fall upon them; for which they would then provide ample cause. But in the reciprocal action obedience will soon become a matter of course, a joy and a need! Therefore go forth and heed the Commandments of God more earnestly than hitherto! That means, observe and fulfill them! So that you will become happy! — |
orisa37:The SABATH as written there is meant for sober reflection, deep introspection and proper planning of the week ahead |
Who takes the trouble to experience a Commandment with his intuitive perception. Any serious-minded person should be horrified at the frivolous way in which children and adults alike treat the Commandments of their God. The Commandments are learned and superficially discussed at school. One is glad if he has taken in the words and is able to give some information, should he be asked about them. When he leaves school, to enter working life, these words are soon forgotten, and with them their meaning. This is more than enough proof of the fact that he was not really interested at all in what his Lord and God demands of him. Yet, He does not even demand anything, but gives in love to all men what they need urgently! For the Light perceived how far human beings were going astray. So, like a teacher, God faithfully showed them the way that leads to Eternal Life in the Luminous Realm of the Spirit, thus to their happiness. Whereas disobedience must lead to misfortune and ruin for mankind! Just for that reason it is not really correct to speak of Commandments. Rather they are very well-meant advice, pointing out the right way through the World of Matter, which the human spirits themselves wished to get to know. Yet, even such a beautiful thought has no effect on man. He has become far too obsessed with his own thought processes, and will see or hear nothing other than the views he himself has constructed, on the basis of his small earthly knowledge. He does not perceive how the World of Matter is constantly carrying him further, ever further, to the boundary where for the last time he is faced with Either – Or as the decision which now remains decisive for his entire existence, and according to which he must follow his path so chosen to the end, without being able to turn back from it again. Even if, in the end, recognition should come to him. It will then be too late, and the recognition will only serve to increase his torments. To help man to gain recognition in time, in spite of his having strayed onto wrong paths, God gave him in the Third Commandment; the advice to keep the Sabbath Day holy! With the fulfillment of this Commandment there would indeed have gradually arisen for every human being, in the course of time, the longing to strive towards the Light, and with this longing the way would finally also have been revealed that would bring him upwards to the fulfillment of his wishes which, growing ever stronger would have condensed into prayer. Today, at the time of the Cosmic Turning Point man’s condition would have been different! He would be spiritualized, mature for that Kingdom which must now come. Therefore, you listen and act so that fulfillment of the Commandment will prepare your way. Thou shalt keep the Sabbath Day holy! You! The words state quite clearly that you are to sanctify the Sabbath Day that you are to make it holy for yourself! The Sabbath Day is the hour of rest, thus when you rest from the work imposed upon you by your path on earth. But you do not sanctify the hour of rest, the day of rest, if you merely wish to care for your body. Nor will you do so by seeking diversion in games, drinking or dancing. The hour of rest should lead you to quiet reflection in your thinking and intuitive perceiving, to review your earth-life up to the present, especially always the past working days of the last week, and to draw practical applications from them for your future. Six days can always be reviewed; a longer period is easily forgotten. It is then inevitable that your intuitive perception will slowly rise to a higher level, and you will become a seeker for the Truth. Once you are a true seeker, a way will be shown to you. And just as here on earth you tread a new, hitherto unfamiliar path only carefully, so must you also proceed cautiously step by step on the new spiritual paths which open before you, in order always to keep firm ground under your feet. You must not jump ahead, for then there is a greater danger of falling. Through this kind of thinking and intuitive perception, during the rest hours of your earth-life, you will never lose anything, but only gain. No one sanctifies an hour of rest by going to church, unless at the same time, during the time of rest, he is prepared to reflect on what he has heard there, in order to absorb it rightly within himself and live accordingly. The priest cannot make your day holy for you if you do not do so of yourself. Consider carefully ever again whether the real sense of the Word of God is completely in accord with your activity. In this way the Sabbath Day will then be sanctified by you; for through peaceful inner communion it has acquired that content for the purpose of which it was instituted. Every Sabbath Day will thus become a milestone on your path, which will retroactively give the days of your gross material activity that value which they must have for the maturing of your soul. Then they will not have been lived in vain, and you will advance continually. To sanctify means not to waste. The moment you neglect this you lose the time which was granted to you for maturing, and, after the Cosmic Turning-Point, the rays of which are now slowly encompassing you, there is only a short time given to make up for what has been neglected, provided that in so doing you use all the energy you have left. Therefore keep the Sabbath Day holy! Be it in your home, or better still in Nature, which helps you to become alert in thinking and in perceiving intuitively! Fulfill thereby the Commandment of the Lord. It is for your benefit! |

SECOND COMMANDMENT! Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain! It is the Name that awakens and brings into focus the concept in man! Whoever dishonors a name and dares to debase it thereby debases the concept! Bear this in mind at all times! This clear Commandment of the Lord, however, is the least observed of all the Ten Commandments, thus the most transgressed. This non-observance takes a thousand different forms. Even though man thinks that many of these transgressions are quite harmless, just superficial expressions, nevertheless it remains a transgression of this explicitly given Commandment! Just these thousand-fold forms of allegedly just harmless non-observance degrade the Holy Name of God, and with it the concept of God which is always closely associated with the Name, robbing It of Its Holiness before men, and indeed even before children, defiling Its sanctity by making It commonplace, by dragging It down into general phraseology! Men do not shrink from venturing into the ridiculous with this. Not one of the many expressions will I cite; for the Name is far too high and sublime for that! But anybody need only observe this for even one day, and he will probably be aghast at the enormous accumulation of transgressions of the Second Commandment by human beings of both sexes, among old and young, right down to children who are hardly able to form a proper sentence yet. For the youngsters twitter as they hear the old ones sing! For this reason, it is often just this debasing of God which is one of the first things that young people learn through the only apparently so harmless transgressions against God's Laws! The effect, however, is the worst of all the transgressions! It has spread abroad in an absolutely devastating way among all mankind, not only with Christians, but also among Muslims, among Jews and Buddhists; the same can be heard ad nauseam everywhere! What value, then, can the Name “God” still hold for man! It is debased, is respected not even as much as the smallest coin! Much worse than a worn out garment. And this man of the earth, otherwise so would-be-clever, regards it as harmless, and sins in this more than a hundred times a day! Where is there any reflection! Where the least stirring of the intuitive perception! You, too, have become completely deadened to it, and listen calmly when the most sacred of all concepts is thus trampled into the dirt of everyday life! But do not be deceived! The debt ledger in the beyond is therewith mercilessly charged for everyone who has sinned in this respect! And just this is not so easy to expiate because it is attended by such far reaching ill consequences, which must avenge themselves unto the third and fourth generation, unless one day there is some person in this chain of descendants who recognizes this evil practice and calls a halt to it. Therefore try to combat the harmful habit in the circle of your acquaintances. But above all first sever your own threads of karma with all the energy you still possess, so that your debt ledger will not become greater than it already is in this respect. Do not believe that atonement will be easy because hitherto you intended no evil at all with this! The harm is none the less exactly the same! And the sin against the Commandment remains absolutely unchanged! You knew the Commandment perfectly well. If you did not really strive to become clear about its significance, then that is your fault! Nothing can therefore be written off for you on that account! Listen and act, so that you become capable of redeeming much while still on earth. Otherwise the morass which awaits you when you enter the beyond, and which places itself obstructively in the path of ascent, will be terrifying. Yet not only the individual human being, but also the authorities have shown their opposition to this Commandment and also to the Word of God for centuries, in that they forcibly demanded of human beings the taking of oaths, compelling them to commit the transgression with the threat of severe earthly punishment if they did not comply with the demand. But the punishment in the beyond is far more severe, and it falls upon all those who exacted the oath, not upon those who had to take it under pressure. Christ as well reiterated explicitly when He said: “Let your communication be yea or nay; for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil!” And indeed the authorities had the power to give the decisive weight to the words Yes or No by punishing a deception before court in the same way as perjury! In this way they were able to raise the value of the words before court to that level which they needed to pass judgment. It was not necessary to lead people by force to the transgression of God's Commandment for that reason! Now they shall receive their sentence in the beyond. More severe, and stricter than they had ever assumed as they mocked reciprocal action. There is no escaping this! But the churches and their representatives carried it even further; with invocations to God, they subjected their fellow-men to the most terrible tortures, and finally again with invocations to God they burned them if they had not already succumbed to their torments beforehand. The Roman Emperor Nero, well known to all and notorious for his cruelty, was not so bad, not so damnable in his tortures of the Christians as was the catholic church with its enormous record of sins in regard to the Laws of God! First, he did not murder and torture nearly so much, and second, not with such sanctimonious invocations to God which in this manner must be numbered among the greatest blasphemies which it is possible for a person to perpetrate! It avails them nothing if these same churches today condemn what in those days had unfortunately been perpetrated through them for all too long; for they did not voluntarily abandon it! And even today there is not much difference in the mutual hostility, only in a more restrained, more modern form! In this, too, only the form has changed in the course of time, not the living core! And this core alone, which one so likes to conceal, counts before the Judgment of God, never the outward form! And this present, only apparently harmless form was born out of the same unspeakable spiritual arrogance of the representatives of all the churches, as hitherto. And where this damnable arrogance is not present, there is to be found an empty conceit based on the earthly power of the churches. Often enough these vices result in the most unseemly hostilities, interwoven in addition with earthly calculations towards extending influence, if not even towards a yearning for great political importance. And all this with the Name of “God” on their lips, so that I want to call out again as did the Son of God: “By your deeds you have marked my Father's houses as dens of murderers, by considering them to be in your honor! You call yourselves servants of God's Word, but you have become servants of your own arrogance!” Every Catholic thinks himself far better before God than a Protestant, without there being any cause for it, but every Protestant thinks himself more enlightened, more advanced, and thus nearer to his God than the Catholic! And these are all those who claim to be followers of Christ, to form themselves according to His Word. Both parties are fools, who rely on something that does not count in the least before the Will of God! Just all these sin far more against the Second Commandment of God than adherents of other religions; for they abuse the Name of God not only with words but through the deed, with their whole manner of living, even in their so-called worship service. To every thinking and closely observing person they give only a horrible example of meaningless forms and empty thought. Just in the boundless conceit of wishing to make themselves and those around them believe that they already possess a place in Heaven ahead of those of other faiths, they desecrate the concept of God most deeply! It is not the outward form of church rites, baptism and so much else that matters! The inner man alone has to stand before the Judgment! Remember this, you haughty ones, to whom it has already been announced that on the Day of Judgment, puffed-up, they will proudly set forth with banners and gorgeous raiment to receive their reward joyously. Yet they will never reach the Realm of the Spirit at the foot of God's Throne, because they will receive the reward they deserve before they get there. An icy blast will sweep them away like worthless chaff; for they lack pure humility within themselves, and true love for their neighbor! By their nature they are the worst abusers of the Name of “God”, the most flagrant transgressors of the Second Commandment! They all served Lucifer, not God! And thus they scorn all the Commandments of God! From the first to the last! But mainly the Second, the transgression of which in this manner represents the blackest defilement of the concept of God in the Name! Beware of continuing to pass over this Commandment lightly! From now on, watch yourselves and your surroundings keenly! Reflect that if you faithfully keep nine of the Commandments and disregard one of them, you will still be lost in the end! When a Commandment is given by God, that is already proof that it must not be taken lightly, that it is absolutely imperative that it be fulfilled! Otherwise it would never have been given to you. Do not dare to pray if you are unable to vibrate with your whole soul in the words, and beware lest you reveal yourselves as thoughtless prattlers before your God; for thereby you would be guilty before Him of misuse of the Name of God. Before you ask Him for something, consider carefully whether it is needed urgently! Do not become entangled in formal prayers to be rattled off at certain times, as has become the bad habit in all religious practices. This is not only misuse of God's Name but blasphemy! In joy or need, an ardent intuitive perceiving without words remains far more valuable than a thousand spoken prayers, even if this intuitive perceiving lasts only a fraction of a second. For such intuitive perceiving is then always genuine, and not hypocritical! And therefore it is never a misuse of the concept of God either. It is a sacred moment when the human spirit wishes to cast itself in supplication or gratitude before the Steps of God's Throne! This must never become habitual chatter! Not by the servants of a church either! That man who is capable of using the Name of God on every possible and impossible occasion in daily life has never had the faintest idea of the concept of God! He is an animal, not a human being! For as a human spirit he must possess the ability to perceive inwardly a divining of God, even though it be but once in his earth-life! But this once alone would suffice to deprive him of any desire to transgress the Second Commandment thoughtlessly! He will then eternally bear within himself the need to utter the Name “God” only on his knees and in the highest purity of his whole inner being! Whoever does not have this is far removed from even being worthy of God's Word, much less of entering God's Kingdom! Of enjoying His blissful proximity! For this reason it is also forbidden to make a picture of God the Father according to man's concepts! Every attempt at this is bound to lead to nothing but a pitiful belittling, since neither the human spirit nor the human hand is enabled to see even the most minute part of the reality in visions, and to retain it in the earthly way in a picture! The greatest work of art in this matter could signify only deep degradation. A Single Eye, in Its unutterable radiance, suggests everything. – Thus exalted is the Greatness, inconceivable to you, which you embrace in the Word “God” and which with careless audacity you often dare to use as the most ordinary of empty and thoughtless expressions! You will have to render account of this conduct of yours! |

The first Commandment I am the lord thy God! Thou shalt have no other gods but me! He who is able to read these words aright will doubtless already see in them the sentence for many who do not observe this most exalted of all the Commandments. “Thou shalt have no other gods!” Many a man reads far too little into these words. He has made it too easy for himself! In the first place he probably thinks of idolaters only as those people who kneel before a row of wooden figures, each one of which represents a particular god; perhaps he also thinks of demon- worshippers and others similarly gone astray, at best calling them to mind with pity, but he does not include himself among them. Just take a look at yourselves calmly for once, and examine yourselves as to whether perchance you belong to them after all! One person has a child who really means more to him than anything, for whom he would be able to make any sacrifice, forgetting all else. Another sets earthly pleasure far above everything, and with the best volition would in the end be absolutely incapable of renouncing this pleasure for anything, if he were faced with such a challenge as afforded him a voluntary decision. Yet a third again loves money, a fourth power, a fifth a woman, another earthly recognition, and again in all these things they all ultimately love only... themselves! That is idolatry in the truest sense. The First Commandment warns against it! Forbids it! And woe to him who does not obey it to the letter! This infringement avenges itself immediately, for such a person must always remain earthbound when he passes over into the Ethereal Realm. In reality however he has only bound himself to the earth through the attachment to something which is upon the earth! He is thus held back from further ascent, loses the time given to him for it, and runs the risk of not emerging from the Ethereal Realm in time to rise therefrom to the Luminous Realm of the free spirits. He will then be swept along into the inevitable disintegration of all material substance, which serves to purify it for its resurrection and its new formation. But for the human soul this is ethereal and spiritual death of all the personal consciousness it had developed, and therewith also the destruction of its form and its name for all eternity! Obedience to this Commandment is meant to give protection from this terrible fate! It is one of the most exalted Commandments, because it remains the one most necessary to man! Unfortunately, he is all too apt to yield to some attachment which finally enslaves him! But whatever he allows to become an attachment he therewith makes into a golden calf, setting it in the highest place, making it a false god or idol beside his God, and very often even above Him! Unfortunately there are only too many “attachments” which man has created for himself, and which, with the utmost thoughtlessness, he readily adopts! An attachment is the predilection for something earthly, as I have already pointed out. Naturally there are still many more of them. But he who acquires an attachment is “attached” as the word correctly indicates. He is thereby attached to the gross material when he enters the beyond for his further development, and cannot easily detach himself again from it; he is thus retarded, held back! This can indeed also be called a curse that remains a perpetual burden to him. The process is the same, no matter how it is expressed in words. If in his life on earth, however, he puts God above all else, not only in his perception or merely in words, but in his intuition, thus truly and genuinely, in reverential love that binds him as to an attachment, then through the same effect this binding will at once cause him to strive upwards when he enters the beyond; for he takes with him the reverence and love for God; it supports him and bears him finally towards God’s vicinity, into Paradise, the Primordial Creation, the abode of the pure spirits who have become free from all burdens, and whose binding leads only to God’s Luminous Truth! Therefore pay strict attention to the keeping of this Commandment. You will be protected thereby from many unfavorable blows of fate, for the release of which there may not be enough time remaining! |
High rose the waves of injustice at the time of the Pharaohs. Immorality and crime triumphed and the enslavement of Israel had reached its peak. It was then that Abdruschin stepped onto this earth! The Light had thus taken the first step towards the salvation of those human souls that yearned to strive towards the Light! The great distress of the Jews had so purified them, and the agony of their oppression had rendered their souls so sensitive, that among the people of the time they were the only ones receptive to the vibrations coming from Luminous Heights down to the depth. Only the most extreme suffering had, after a long period of time, shaken and loosed the souls of the enslaved Jews to the point that they were finally able to sense the finer vibrations in the cosmos, awakening in them the tentative desire to come closer to God. This desire eventually rose into ardent supplication. This yearning cry to the Light for help did not go without a reciprocal effect. So long as these people kept their thoughts and intuitions directed earthward, of course, nothing different could flow back to them in the returning reciprocal action. However, when they finally directed their sight upward toward the Light with earnest, truly humble volition, it was possible, in reciprocity, for the Light current to flow more intensely into their souls. The desperate cry of the people had thus been heard. The Savior came! He came in fulfillment of the Divine Will from which He originated. It therefore remains an immutable law that wherever He sets His foot, hostility must arise in places where anything is in opposition to the just Will of God, while pure peace and happiness will arise where Justice in its real sense forms a part of life. Because Abdruschin, then as now, carries within Him the living Will of God from out of which originate the laws of Creation and because He is God’s Will incarnate, He is able to initiate all of the final effects of the spiritual laws in Creation merely by His being. For each individual as well as for whole nations the form of the release of the final effects will always be in accordance with what the end of the self-chosen path holds, i.e., exactly according to the kind of direction they themselves had set voluntarily. If the direction tends toward Darkness, then horror will be the inevitable consequence, while if it tends toward the Light, happiness and peace will follow. Even if the path to these ends still stretches so far ahead of the human spirits that they imagine they have time, much time for a final and ultimate decision... when Abdruschin walks among them as part of the living Will of God, then the end of all paths will draw near rapidly, spontaneously, and without any transition, as a natural law, and therein lies the Final Judgment! The end approaches rapidly toward release through Abdruschin’s radiating magnetic power, so that man’s soul cannot follow its path as it has done until now, but must immediately receive the fruits of what it sowed, and at the same time the works of all souls will be subjected to the Judgment. Their works flourish as long as they are in accordance with God’s Will, but they collapse if they are not in full harmony with It. This includes all activities, starting with family and marriage and extending to career and occupation, be it in trade, industry, commerce, economics or affairs of state. Everything is equally subject to the quick activation of the spiritual laws in accordance with Divine Justice! Man cannot stop or delay, hide or cover up anything; powerlessly he has to submit to the demands of true Justice even though it may not manifest in accordance with his earthly views! God’s Will incarnate is like a live contact igniting the spark which triggers a release wherever His earthly presence touches the individual man as well as the entire people. His presence forces the reckoning and everywhere everything must rush to a decision, the final one which is still possible for everything in existence. Thus He becomes the Judgment without He Himself having to sit in judgment. Because of His origin He is like an automatic key for the conclusion of each and every happening; the Sword which merely needs to stand in the world for everyone and everything to separate themselves upon it! — Since the injustices done by the Egyptians cried out to the Light through the suffering of the Jewish people, Abdrushin, following the laments, went out ahead of the Son of God in order to bring Judgment upon the Egyptians, to set the Jewish people free; and this was done so that they, purified by the ordeal, would someday fulfill their calling as the most mature people of the time to receive the Son of God when the time for this had come! — Thus the emissary sent for the Divine Judgment came to Earth in the person of a Prince of the mightiest of Egypt’s neighboring states. As an Arabian prince He bore the name Abdruschin. This is equivalent to: Son of the Holy Spirit. He frequently visited the Pharaoh’s palace and this fact alone brought about the release of the spiritual laws for the entire people. This was the only way for Moses then to announce all of the punishments, which were quickly fulfilled! The fulfillment came through Abdruschin who, as a part of the living Will of God, had to bring equalizing justice on earth in the automatic release of spiritual laws, the impact of which also manifested gross-materially. Thus the people of Egypt in their iniquity and immoral ways were severely smitten and judged by the Will of God; the Jewish people thus became free for their ascent and for the fulfillment of their calling, which was to prepare within their circle the soil for the reception of the Son of God. It was the beginning of a cycle which contained momentous happenings and which must close with the return of Abdruschin to this Earth! The possibility for ascent to unimagined heights was therewith put into the hands of humankind. — At that previous time Abdruschin had subjugated, among others, a highly evolved people of Indian origin. Among them there was a seer who through the presence of Abdruschin was able to receive high revelations. The seer’s mission should have been to announce these revelations since they would have helped men to an easier and quicker ascent. Instead, however, he retreated completely within himself, lived isolated from his fellow men, and processed his extraordinary knowledge only for himself, just as many also do today. Even today, people who are knowing or who have become knowing, in most cases withdraw within themselves or, wherever feasible, even shut themselves off from all people, for fear that they will not be understood or even be ridiculed. Often, they do so in order to enjoy this knowledge for themselves, and to revel in it. Such behavior, however, is wrong. Whoever receives higher knowledge is to pass it on in order to help others; for he too received it as a gift. He could not acquire it. Namely the reception of revelations imposes obligations. Typically, however, it is only the seers of minor things, which are of no value to anyone, who broadcast everything to the whole world, and thereby cause damage to those who have actually become knowing ones, because these are then lumped together, and given no value. For these reasons, among others, many of the knowing ones, who would otherwise speak, remain silent. Thus the seer at that time failed in his real mission. He was present when Abdruschin’s mortal earthly cloak was put into the grave. Then, however, he was powerfully overcome, and on the highest inspiration he engraved on a large stone in the tomb all of the happenings, starting with Abdruschin’s origin in the Divine, His tasks during His journey through the worlds up until His re-unification with the Divine and His final mission. The record engraved into the stone also includes the current era with all happenings. Abdruschin‘s tombstone, hidden still to this day from curious human eyes, bears the same symbol as the one on the tombstone covering the mortal remains of the Son of God. The revelation of this fact remains reserved to an hour of earthly fulfillment. But the time for this is not far off. — — — — The beginning of the circle began to vibrate. The events began to unroll. The crowning event was the Son of God‘s coming to Earth for the intended salvation of mankind and all of Creation. Yet, humanity did not recognize this salvation. With the beginning of earthly well-being, spiritual indolence surfaced again, deadening any acuteness of their intuitive senses and as a following result human conceit grew rampant and like suffocating briers, enveloped the human soul ever more tightly, cutting it off from all vibrations from the Luminous Heights. Thus the Message from the Light brought by the Son of God found little resonance in the human souls which had once again become so restricted and narrow. The Great Bringer of Light was murdered as being inconvenient to them. — At that time the Indian Seer from the time of Abdruschin’s life on Earth received the opportunity to atone for his onetime failure. Grace permitted him to be born on Earth once more, as Kaspar, one of the three Kings from the Orient, who recognized the Star and searched for the child. This provided him with the opportunity to redeem the karma he had burdened himself with because of his silence during the time of Abdruschin; for Abdruschin’s mission is closely connected with the mission of the Son of God. But here too he failed once more together with the other two kings. The purpose of their mission was not only to travel to Bethlehem and to bring gifts to the child one time and then to vanish. They had been chosen and appointed to recognize the Son of God and then always to stand by His side, in order to facilitate all purely earthly matter! During His entire sojourn on earth. They were to provide Him earthly support with their power and their wealth. For this purpose alone they had been born into their particular circumstances, predestined for this before birth and then gifted with clairvoyance so that they could easily fulfill that which they had asked for. But they failed in this, including the erstwhile seer who failed for the second time. — The pure radiance was lost from the high Message of the Son of God from out of the Truth, which was not properly understood even at that time and which became more and more distorted and often wrongly interpreted by subsequent spiritual leaders. Darkness spread over all mankind, across all lands. — This open cycle however, vibrated unhindered and ever growing, bringing the world ever closer to the hour when the inevitable closing of the cycle must occur in the return of the Divine Will incarnate. The end will now be connected with the beginning. In this lies release and the final reckoning of all happenings! It brings on the Great Cosmic Turning Point! The great Cosmic Turning Point! Urgently needed in order to prevent the world from being driven towards complete destruction as the result of man’s wicked self-delusion. And Abdruschin once again came to this Earth to close the cycle, to release all spiritual laws which are badly knotted because of man’s evil volition and thereby to fulfill what has been prophesied for thousands of years, as warning and admonition: “The Judgment!” Patiently He waited, carefully observing the wrongful activity of humanity, experiencing much of it on his own person, then again awakening hostility where something was not in accordance with the Divine Will and bringing peace where there was the right orientation toward the Will of God. He waited until the call from God to begin had reached him. Since the Darkness in the meantime had forced its way into everything that was formed through man’s activity there was for Him mostly sorrow and hopeless struggle as long as He remained bound and was not allowed to unfold His power. The radiations within Him were densely shrouded so that they would not bring the strong releases which are part of the World Judgment too early. Only at the hour of the Cosmic Turning Point did these shrouds gradually fall off him. Until this happened, however, He was able to proclaim once more the Word of Truth, undistorted, as had already been brought by the Son of God, so that those who truly and in earnest seek for the Light have the opportunity to gain salvation in the Judgment, for those human souls who truly and earnestly seek the Truth, who yearn for spiritual ascent rather than only for earthly ascent under the pretense of spiritual seeking, will find their anchor of salvation in this Word! For anyone other than these, it is not given. They will remain blind and deaf to It according to the law of absolute reciprocity, for they do not deserve salvation. They will be blind and deaf also in the beyond after their earthly death even though they must live. In order to point to the beginning of this cycle of happenings which must close at this Cosmic Turning Point, He now brought to humanity the Divine Word of Truth again under the name of Abdruschin which He bore then! It is meant for those who through timely recognition will survive the Judgment. A pointer to facilitate a future overview! Men will gain understanding of this after the purification, when the confusing and false souls will have been eliminated, while the ascent can begin for all others in renewed flourishing. — And suddenly the hour of fulfillment of the prophecy for the great Cosmic Turning Point had arrived! Abruptly, it seemed, just as it did in Egypt before. Only those who were directly involved knew about it while humanity was sound asleep. This was in preparation for great things, and, after the long period of learning on earth, Abdruschin entered into the mission which placed Him before humanity as the Son of Man who was prophesied, so that humanity must judge itself upon Him! For, as explained previously, He is the Judgment, but He does not sit in judgment. — Even though up to the cosmic turning point severely restrained on earth by dense cloaks, Abdruschin already worked spiritually during His learning phase, releasing spiritual laws, albeit faintly, yet absolutely, always and only where He had personal contact in individuals as well as in their works; in this way punishing or rewarding imporsonally everything that confronted Him, merely by His being! The effect of this living Natural Law could not be entirely prevented. What was unsound and false could not reap anything sound or right through Him; hypocrisy or sanctimonious self-delusion, in which so many quite often live, could naturally not expect any benefit, but always and only expect harm in the inexorable release of the laws of reciprocity. Quite naturally, then, conceited people in their severe lack of self-recognition did not see therein the just results of their own inner life but considered only the outward happenings as originating from Abdruschin; they attacked Him, berated Him and cast suspicion on Him, all of which often brought oppression to the first half of His earthly path. Then, however, He brought the Judgment to Creation! As King Imanuel in the universe, as Parsifal for the Primordially Created ones and in the spiritual realm, and finally, as the Son of Man for the world of gross matter on this planet Earth. Three in one, working simultaneously, a Divine mystery. It is a process which is incomprehensible to developed human spirits, in which the primordially created ones, however, already have a part; for they, too, are able to work here on Earth while, at the same time fulfilling their service in the Grail Castle on high. With the Cosmic Turning Point the restrictive shrouds fell away from Abdruschin. This resulted in an unimaginable increase in power which Abdruschin henceforth can and must consciously send out into those directions which are predetermined by God’s Will for the purpose of destroying all that is unsound, and of thereby freeing that which is sound from the harmful pressure which held it down and prevented it’s free ascent toward the Light. Thus the much longed-for Kingdom of God on Earth, once promised to the righteous as the Kingdom of the Millennium, will finally arise. It will be forcefully imposed with the supernatural and superhuman power with which the Emissary of God was endowed for the fulfillment of the Promise! And once again the Indian seer, later to be King Kaspar from the Orient, was granted the opportunity to redeem his two-time failure. As his last opportunity he was permitted to co-operate in the final happening, albeit this time not on earth, rather spiritually. Now every prophecy was being fulfilled, inexorably, irrevocably, as it is in God’s purpose! Not one of them remains unfulfilled; for already the cycle is slowly beginning to close! And now His Divine part connects with the part Abdruschin-Parsifal even in His earthly body itself so that in this gross-material plane there now arises Imanuel who was once promised to all humanity through the prophet Isaiah! The fact that men tried to represent the promise of Imanuel, Son of Man, as being one and the same as the promise of Jesus, Son of God, merely shows the inadequacy of human comprehension, notwithstanding the most explicit, unambiguous biblical records. If due to inadequate orientation it was an understandable mistake to want to assume the concept for the designations Son of God and Son of Man to be one and the same and because the faithful were too timid to conceive of the idea of two persons, at least the distinct reference to two completely different names in these prophesies should have led to the conclusion that they definitely refer to two different persons. Therefore, blessed are all those who will be able, at the last hour, to gain this recognition within themselves! Amen! |
