If a child is baptized by a clergyman who regards it as merely a duty of his office, it is absolutely
meaningless, doing neither good nor harm. On the other hand, when an adult person is baptized, the
strength and purity of his inner preparedness to receive contributes to whether or not he really receives
something spiritual or not.
In the case of a child, only the belief of the one who administers the baptism can be considered to
serve as a means to the end. According to the strength and purity of the belief, the child receives a certain
spiritual strengthening through this act, as well as a protective wall against evil currents.
Not every human being ordained by earthly church authorities can perform the act of baptism
effectively. For this purpose a human being is needed who is connected with the Light. Only such a
person is able to transmit Light. This ability, however, is not attainable through earthly studies, nor
through church consecration or ordination. It has nothing whatever to do with earthly customs, but is
purely a gift of the Almighty Himself.
One so endowed thereby becomes a Called One! There are not many of those; for the prerequisite for
this gift is a suitable soil within the person himself. If this prerequisite does not exist the Light cannot
establish a connection. The Light cannot penetrate soil which is dense or striving away from the Light,
because like everything else, this process is also strictly subject to the all-pervading Primordial Laws.
Such a Called One, however, can really transmit spirit and power through the act of baptism, which
thereby receives that value which it expresses symbolically. In spite of this, it is always preferable to
baptize only those who are fully conscious of the effect of this act and who have the ardent desire for it.
Therefore, if it is to become of real value, baptism requires a certain age of maturity and the voluntary
wish of the person to be baptized, as well as a Called One to perform the act of baptizing.
John the Baptist, who still today is regarded and accepted as a truly Called one by all Christian
churches, found his greatest adversaries mostly among the Scribes and Pharisees, who at that time
imagined themselves to be the most highly called to judge over this matter. The nation of Israel of that
time was Called. There is no doubt about that. In its midst the Son of God was to accomplish His Mission
on earth. In this fulfillment, however, the calling of the entire nation became extinguished. A new Israel
will arise for a new fulfillment. However at the time of John the Baptist the Israel of that time was still the
called nation. Accordingly at that time the priests of that nation should also have been the most highly
Called Ones to perform the act of baptism. Nevertheless, John the Baptist had to come in order, as the
only Called One, to baptize the Son of God in His earthly vessel at the beginning of His actual Mission on
earth. This happening also proves that earthly appointments to office have nothing to do with Divine
callings. Performance of acts in the name of God however, i.e. as mandated by Him, and as it should be in
the case of baptisms, can only be effectively fulfilled by divinely Called ones. John the Baptist, the Called
One, who was not acknowledged at that time by the high priest of the Called people, described his
adversaries as a “generation of vipers.” He denied them the right to come to him.
Nor did these same high priests of the then Called people even recognize the Son of God Himself;
they persecuted Him ceaselessly and worked toward His earthly destruction, because He was superior to
them and therefore inconvenient. If Christ were again to come among men at the present time in a new
form, He would undoubtedly meet with the same repudiation and animosity as He experienced then. A
similar fate would befall one sent by Him. All the more so, because mankind today imagine themselves to
be more “advanced.”
Not only in this one case of John the Baptist, but in many similar cases, clear proof emerges that
consecrations and ordinations by earthly churches, which are always only part of “church organizations,”
can never bring a greater qualification to perform spiritual acts unless the person himself has already been
called for it.
Considered in the correct way, therefore, baptism administered by church representatives is nothing
more than a preliminary act of admission into the community of a religious organization. It is not
acceptance by God, but admission into the respective earthly church community. The confirmation which
follows later can only be regarded as a repeated acknowledgement and expanded admission to the
customs of these communities. The minister acts as the “accredited servant of the church”, i.e. in a purely earthly sense, because the church and God are not one and the same thing.

Shelumiel:
This is the longest form of rubbish I have read this year.

wow so pleased to hear that, would you like to read longer piece of rubbish?

The explanation for this lies in the word itself. A miracle is an event that causes men to marvel. It is
something they deem to be impossible. But they only deem it to be so, for the fact that it does happen
already proves that it is possible.
Miracles such as many of the believers in God imagine them to be do not exist! These believers
consider a miracle as something that happens outside the Laws of Nature, even something contrary to all
the laws of nature. It is just in this that they perceive the hand of God! They think a miracle is something
possible only for their God, Who thereby shows His special Grace and for which He uses His
Omnipotence.
These poor creatures erroneously imagine that omnipotence implies the capability to act arbitrarily,
and that miracles are such arbitrary acts. They do not realize how they belittle God with this; for this type
of miracle would be anything but Divine.
First of all, in Divine Activity lies absolute perfection, without fault or gap. And perfection demands
the strictest logic and absolute consistency in every respect. Consequently, a miracle can only happen
with flawless consistency of events. The only difference is that, in the case of a miracle, the process of
development, which according to earthly conceptions would require a longer time, proceeds in the usual
manner, but with such tremendous rapidity, either through the special power granted to a person or in
some other way, that because of all the extraordinarily rapid development it can be called miraculous by
people, in short, a miracle.
Occasionally it may be something reaching beyond the present state of development that finds its
fulfillment through concentrated power. But it will never, under any circumstances, occur outside of,
much less contrary to, the existing Laws of Nature. In such a case, which is intrinsically impossible
anyway, it would lose all its Divine essence and become an arbitrary act. Exactly the opposite of what so
many of the faithful believers imagine it to be. Anything that lacks strict consistency is not Divine. Every
miracle is an absolutely natural process, but one that occurs with exceptional speed and concentrated
power; it is completely impossible for anything unnatural ever to happen. That is completely out of the
question.
When diseases are healed, which up till now were regarded as incurable, this does not mean that the
Natural Laws have been changed, but it merely exposes the great deficiencies in human knowledge. All
the more should it be recognized as a mercy of the Creator when here and there He endows individual
human beings with special powers which they can use for the benefit of suffering humanity. However, it
will always be only those who have kept themselves away from the arrogance of science, because
earthbound knowledge quite naturally suffocates the ability to receive higher gifts.
Earthbound knowledge wants to forcefully gain something; it is incapable of receiving in a pure,
childlike manner. The powers coming from a sphere beyond time and space, however, can only be
received in simplicity; they can never be forcefully gained! This circumstance alone shows which is more
valuable, stronger and, therefore, more correct!

Uncomprehending, lonely, a soul stands in the chamber of death. Uncomprehending because, while on
earth, the human being on the death-bed refused to believe in the continuation of life after the shedding of
the physical body, and he had therefore never seriously considered the matter and ridiculed all who spoke
of it. Confused, he looks around. He sees himself lying on his death-bed, sees people he knows standing
about weeping, hears the words they speak, and feels their grief as they lament his passing. He would like
to laugh and call out that he is still alive! He calls out! And he is surprised to observe that they do not hear
him! He calls again and again, louder and ever louder. The people do not hear him, but go on lamenting.
Fear begins to arise within him. He himself hears his own voice quite clearly, and is also distinctly aware
of his own body. Again he calls out in anguish. Nobody pays attention to him. Weeping, they gaze upon
the lifeless body, which he recognizes as his own, yet suddenly regards as something strange that is no
longer part of him; for he now stands beside it in a body free from all the pain he had suffered up till then.
Now he lovingly calls the name of his wife who is kneeling beside the death-bed. But her weeping
does not cease and there is no word or movement to show that she has heard him. In desperation he walks
up to her and shakes her shoulder vigorously. She does not notice it. He does not know that he is only
touching and shaking his wife’s ethereal body, not her physical one and that the woman, who like him
never gave a thought to the existence of anything beyond the physical body, therefore cannot feel him
touching her ethereal body.
An unspeakable feeling of dread makes him shudder. Weak from feeling abandoned, he is forced to
the ground, his consciousness wanes.
The sound of a voice he used to know gradually awakens him again. He sees the body he used on
earth surrounded by flowers. He wants to get away, but finds it impossible to sever himself from this
cold, lifeless body. He distinctly feels that he is still connected to it. Again he hears the voice which
awoke him from his slumber. It is his friend speaking to another person. They both have brought a wreath
and are talking together while laying it down. No one else is in the room. His friend! He wishes to attract
his attention, and also that of the other man, who, along with his friend, had often been welcome guests in
his home! He must tell them that strange as it may seem, he is still alive, that he can still hear what they
are saying. He calls out! But his friend calmly turns to his companion and goes on talking. But what he
says gives him a shock. Is that his friend! Is that the way he talks about him now. Petrified, he listens to
the words of these people with whom he had so often caroused and laughed, and who only flattered him
while sitting at his table enjoying the hospitality of his home.
They left and others came. How clearly he could now see through people! Many whom he had highly
valued now filled him with disgust and anger, and several who he had never paid attention to, he would
like to shake hands with gratefully. But they neither heard nor felt him, although he yelled and raved at
them to prove he was still alive! —
In a great procession the body was carried to the grave. He sat astride on his coffin. Embittered and
desperate, he could only laugh and laugh! But his laughter quickly gave way to deepest despondency, and
a feeling of great loneliness assailed him. He became tired and fell asleep. — — — —
When he awoke, darkness surrounded him. How long he had been asleep he could not tell. But he felt
that he could no longer be connected to his physical body, for he was free. Free in a strangely oppressive
darkness.
He called out. There was no sound. He could not hear his own voice. He sank back groaning. In so
doing struck his head hard against a sharp stone. After a long time, when he awoke again, there was still
the same darkness, the same ominous silence. He wanted to jump up, but his limbs were heavy and
refused to work. With all the strength born of fearful desperation he struggled to his feet, staggering and
groping his way to and fro. He often fell down, injured himself, and bumped against corners and edges
right and, but it left him no peace to wait; for a strong urge drove him to grope on-wards unceasingly and
to seek. To seek! But what? His thinking was confused, tired and without hope. He was seeking
something that he could not comprehend. He was seeking!
It drove him onward, ever onward! Until he sank down again, only to rise once more and resume his
wanderings. Years passed in this way, decades, until finally tears welled up and sobs shook his breast and... a thought arose in him, a petition, as the outcry of a tired soul yearning for an end to this dark
hopelessness! This outcry of utter despair and hopeless suffering, however, gave birth to the first thought
of longing to escape from this condition. He tried to understand what had brought him to this terrible
plight, and what had so cruelly forced him to wander in darkness. He groped about: Stark rocks! Was this
the earth, or perhaps the other world after all in which he had never been able to believe? The other
world! Then he must be physically dead and yet be alive, if he could call this condition being alive. He
found thinking tremendously difficult. And so he groped on-wards in his seeking. Again years passed.
Away, away from this darkness! The wish grew into a powerful urge, which gave way to longing.
Longing, however, is the purer intuition born out of the coarse urge, and out of this longing very timidly a
prayer arose. Finally this prayer out of his longing burst forth from him like a spring, and a feeling of
quiet, soothing peace, humility and submission, entered his soul. When he arose to continue his
wanderings, intense experiencing coursed through his body; for now, twilight surrounded him and
suddenly he could see! Far away in the distance he recognized a light, like a torch that greeted him.
Jubilantly he stretched his arms towards it, and filled with deep happiness he again sank down, his heart
overflowing with gratitude, he gave thanks to Him Who had granted him this light! With renewed
strength he then strode towards that light, which came no nearer to him, but which, after what he had
experienced, he still hoped to reach, even if it should take centuries. What had just happened to him might
happen once again, and finally lead him out of this stony desert into a warmer and lighter region, if he
humbly prayed for it.
“My God, help me in this!” broke forth from his hope-filled breast. And, what joy, he could again
hear his own voice! Even though quite weak at first, still, he could hear it! His happiness at this gave him
new strength, and full of hope, he again went forward. — —
Such is the story of the initial experiences of a soul in the Ethereal World. This soul could not be
called bad. On earth, the man had even been considered very good. He had been an industrial magnate,
always busy and meticulously concerned with complying with the earthly laws. —
Let me add an explanation to this case: The man who in his life on earth refuses to acknowledge that
there is also life after death, and that sooner or later he will be forced to render account for all that he has
done and all that he has left undone, in a way which is not in accord with the world view today, is blind
and deaf when he one day has to pass over into the Ethereal World. Only during the days and weeks while
he still remains connected with his discarded physical body will he at times be able to observe what goes
on around him.
However, once he is free from his disintegrating physical body this possibility is lost to him. He no
longer sees or hears anything. That, however, is not punishment, but quite natural, because he did not
want to see or hear anything of the Ethereal World. His own will, which can quickly form ethereal matter
accordingly, prevents his ethereal body from seeing as well as hearing. For as long as it takes for a change
to occur in his soul. Whether this takes years or decades, perhaps even centuries, is up to each individual.
He retains complete possession of his free will. Help will only come to him when he himself longs for it.
Not before. It will never be forced upon him.
The light which this soul greeted with such great joy when it started to see again was always there.
However previously the soul was unable to see it. It is also clearer and stronger than it appears at first
sight to the hitherto blind soul. How the soul sees this light, whether strong or weak, depends entirely on
the condition of the soul itself. It does not come closer of its own accord, but it is there! The soul can
enjoy it at any time, if it humbly and earnestly wishes to do so.
However, what I am explaining here applies only to this particular kind of human soul. Not to other
kinds. By no means is the light in the region of darkness and its planes. There, he who advances inwardly
is not suddenly able to see the light, but he must first be led out of the environment which holds him.
The condition of the soul depicted here may surely be called torturous, namely because it is filled
with a great fear and void of all hope; but it did not wish it otherwise. It now receives only what it forced
upon itself. It had refused to believe in a conscious life after physical death. The soul cannot extinguish
for itself the continuation of life as such, because this is not up to the soul to decide, but it does build for
itself a barren ethereal plane, paralyzing the senses of the ethereal body, so that it can neither see nor hear
ethereally until... the soul itself finally reconsiders.
These are the souls which can be found by the millions on earth today, who, apart from the fact that they refuse to know anything about God and eternity, can still be called decent. The fate of the evil-
minded is naturally much worse, but we shall not speak about them here, only about the so-called decent
people. —
When it is said that God will stretch forth His Hand to help, this is done in the Word which He sends
out to mankind, showing them how they can redeem themselves from the guilt in which they have
become entangled. From the very beginning His Grace lies in all the great possibilities placed freely at the
disposal of human spirits in Creation. This is so overwhelmingly much that the man of today cannot even
conceive it because he never concerned himself with it seriously enough; for wherever he did, it was only
as a pastime or for the purpose of vain self-aggrandizement!
However, as soon as the human spirits recognize the real value in the Word of God, its deep gravity,
they will be able to accomplish great things in all of Creation! Until now they have always preferred only
their own knowledge, which is the reason why everything has remained patchwork of the lowest kind
compared to the content of the Word of God, which today they again want to push aside without
recognizing It; for there is no man who understands the true value of the Grail Message. No one on this
earth. Even if he thinks he knows the meaning of it, even after already spiritually sensing the advantages
which he was able to attain from partial recognition... he does not know the true value, has not grasped
even one percent of it! This I say, I who bring this Message. You do not know what it is that you hold in
your hands!
The Message is the way, the gateway and also the key that leads you to Life. To the life that cannot be
compared to all the treasure of the earth, all the treasure of the entire universe and which cannot be
bought! Draw from the Message which is offered to you now. Take from its treasure, the most precious
you will ever meet. Seize It as It is, but do not question and quibble about It. To question and quibble
about It will be of no value. It is not this Message which you are to make understandable to yourselves;
instead it is your task to simply create a place for It in the center of your soul. There you are to question,
to quibble in order to find things that do not adorn this room once the Message enters into you! You are to
discover what is still disturbing in this room that must become a temple inside of you. Create this temple
within you without manipulating my Message in the process and all who will do so shall be helped! — —

Death is one thing in which all men believe, without exception! Everyone is convinced that it will come.
It is one of the few facts about which there is no dispute or ignorance. Although everybody from
childhood onward reckons with the fact that they must die eventually, the majority always tries to ward
off the thought. Many people indeed are even vehement if the subject is broached in their presence.
Others again carefully avoid cemeteries and funerals, and if by chance they meet a funeral procession in
the street, they seek to quickly obliterate any impression as soon as possible. At such moments they are
always oppressed by a secret fear that death may one day suddenly surprise them. An indefinable fear
prevents them from seriously grappling with this irrefutable fact.
There is hardly any other event which is so inevitable and yet so constantly pushed aside in their
thoughts as is death. And with the exception of birth, there is hardly so important an event in this earthly
life. It is a striking fact that man wishes to concern himself so little with the beginning and the end of his
earthly existence, whereas he seeks to ascribe a deep significance to all other events, even to quite trivial
matters. He examines and ponders all intermediate happenings much more than that which would
enlighten him on everything: the beginning and the end of his life on earth. Death and birth are so closely
linked because one is the result of the other.
Yet how little serious thought is already given to the act of procreation! Only in very rare cases is
there anything to be found worthy of a human being. It is in this very matter that man prefers to place
himself on a level with the animal, yet without being able to maintain its innocence. This results in his
positioning himself below the animal. Because the animal acts according to the level it occupies in
Creation. Man, however, cannot or will not keep to the level that befits him. He descends to a lower one,
and then wonders why in many respects all of humanity gradually goes downhill. To begin with, wedding
customs are so designed as to view marriage merely as an earthly affair. In many cases it even goes so far
that more serious-minded people would like to turn away in disgust from the unequivocal details hinting
at nothing more than earthly intercourse. Wedding festivities in lower as well as in higher circles have in
many cases degenerated into regular match-making feasts, which parents conscious of their great
responsibility, should strictly forbid their children to attend. However, young men and women who do not
feel disgust arise within them at the customs and insinuations during such a festivity, and who still do not
stay away out of a sense of responsibility for their own actions, are already to be counted as belonging to
the same base level and need not be considered. It is as though here too, in toxic delusion, people try to
deceive themselves about things they do not wish to think about.
If, then, life on earth is built upon such frivolous foundations, as has already become habit and
practice, one can understand that man also tries to deceive himself about death by striving desperately not
to think of it. This pushing aside of all serious thoughts is closely connected with his own low attitude
toward procreation. The vague fear which accompanies man like a shadow during his whole life on earth
largely originates in the fact that he is fully aware of all that is wrong in his frivolous and degrading
actions. And if man cannot find peace in any other way, then, as a last resort, he frantically and artificially
clings to the delusion that death is either the end of all things, thereby consciously fully acknowledging
his inferiority and cowardice at possibly being called to account, or to the hope that after all he is not
much worse than others.
But all the illusions do not alter the fact in the slightest degree that earthly death is approaching them.
It is coming nearer day by day, hour by hour! It often appears pathetic when the majority of those who so
rigidly tried to deny any responsibility in connection with a life after death, begin in their last hours, to
fearfully ask the great questions, thus proving they have suddenly begun to doubt their own convictions.
But their questioning is of little use then; for again, it is only cowardice which, shortly before the great
step out of this earth-life, suddenly lets them see the possibility of a continuation of life and of being
called to account therein. But fear, dread and cowardice no more allow for a lessening or redemption of
the unconditional reciprocal action arising from every deed than does stubbornness. Real recognition, i.e.,
a true understanding, cannot be attained in this way. During their final hours, and prompted by fear, dying
people are often cruelly tricked by their intellectual shrewdness, so often tried and proven during their life
on earth; now, as a customary precaution, it would prompt the person to become intellectually pious as
soon as the detachment of the ethereal body, which lives on, from the gross material body has advanced
to such a degree that the intuitive life in this state of detachment equals the strength of the intellect to which it had heretofore been forcibly subordinated.
They gain nothing from this! They will reap what they sowed through their thoughts and deeds
during their life on earth. Nothing has been improved or changed in the slightest degree! They will be
irresistibly drawn into the gears of the strictly operating Laws of Reciprocal Action, so as to experience in
the Ethereal World all the errors they perpetrated in thought and deed as a result of wrong convictions.
Such people have every reason to dread the hour when they must leave their physical bodies, which for a
time offered protection against many ethereal processes. This protection was given to them as a shield and
a cover for a while so that behind it, undisturbed, they could have changed for the better or even
completely redeemed many things which would otherwise have affected them severely.
It is doubly, even ten times as sad, for those who spend this time of grace of an earth-life in frivolous
self-deception, as if intoxicated. Thus for many there is every reason for alarm and apprehension.
The case is quite different for those who have not wasted their existence on earth but who, although
at a late hour yet still in time and not prompted by fear and anxiety, have set out on the road to spiritual
ascent. They will take their serious seeking over with them in the Ethereal World as a staff and support.
Without fear and anxiety they can venture from the Gross Material World into the Ethereal World which
is inevitable for everyone, because all that is transient, such as the physical body, must sooner or later
perish. They can welcome the hour of this release, for it means definite progress for them, no matter what
they have to experience in the ethereal life. What is good will then bring them happiness and the
difficulties will be made surprisingly easy for them, for their good volition will help them in this far more
powerfully than they could ever have imagined.
The process of dying is in itself nothing but birth into the Ethereal World, similar to the process of
birth into the Gross Material World. After the separation the ethereal body remains attached to the
physical body for a time as if with an umbilical cord. This attachment is less firm the higher the one thus
born into the Ethereal World has already developed his soul towards the Ethereal World as transition into
the Kingdom of his God during his life on earth. The more a man’s volition has chained him to this earth,
i.e., to gross matter, thus refusing any knowledge of a continuation of life in the Ethereal World, the more
solid will be the structure of this cord which binds him to his physical body and thus also to his ethereal
body, which he needs as a garment for his spirit in the Ethereal World. However, the denser his ethereal
body is the heavier it is according to the prevailing laws, and the darker it must appear. Such great
resemblance and close relation to matter makes it very hard for the ethereal body to detach itself from the
physical body, so that it happens that he must still undergo and feel the last physical pains as well as the
whole process of decay. Neither does he remain insensitive to cremation. After the final severance of this
connecting cord, he sinks to that level in the Ethereal World where its surroundings are of corresponding
density and weight. There, in this environment of equal weight, he will find only those of similar
tendencies. It is understandable that conditions there are worse than when on earth in the physical body,
because in the Ethereal World all intuitive feelings are experienced and realized fully and without
restraint.
It is different with those people who during their life on earth have already begun to strive for all that
is noble. Because they bear within themselves a living conviction about the step into the Ethereal World,
the severance is much easier. The ethereal body as well as its connecting cord are not dense, and this
difference in their mutual otherness from the gross-material body permits a very quick separation, such
that the ethereal body, already for some time, stands next to the gross material body throughout the entire
so-called death-struggle or the last muscle twitches of the gross-material body, if one can even call the
normal dying process of such a person a ‘death struggle.’ The loose and less dense condition of the
connecting cord prevents the ethereal being standing beside the body from feeling any pain because this
loose cord in its less dense condition cannot transmit pain from the physical body to the ethereal body.
Owing to its finer nature such a cord severs the connection more quickly, setting the ethereal body
completely free in a much shorter space of time to soar to the region consisting of this finer and lighter
substance. There it too can only find kindred souls and gain peace and happiness through the higher
quality of the intuitive life. Such a lighter and less dense ethereal body naturally appears brighter and
more luminous, until finally it becomes so rarefied that the inner Pure-spiritual core begins to break
through radiantly before it enters the sphere of Pure-Spiritual-Substantiality, completely luminous and
radiant.
Those, however, who are present at a deathbed, should take warning not to break out into loud lamentations. When the grief at parting is too strongly expressed, the person in the process of detaching
himself, or who is perhaps already standing beside his body in ethereal form, may be touched, i.e. hear or
feel it. If pity then awakens in him, together with the wish to say a few words of consolation, this desire
binds him more strongly to his physical body again through the need to make himself understood by the
grief-stricken mourners. He can only make himself understood to those on earth by the use of his brain.
This effort, however, makes for a closer connection with the physical body, necessitates it, as a result of
which not only does an ethereal body still in the process of detaching itself re-unite itself more closely to
the physical body again but, if it is already standing detached beside the physical body, it will even be
drawn back into the gross-material body once more. The final result is that he will once again feel all the
pains from which he had already been delivered. The process of renewed detachment is much more
difficult, and may even last for some days. This brings about the so-called prolonged death struggle,
which becomes really painful and difficult for the one wanting to depart. The blame lies with those who,
through their selfish grief, have called him back from his natural course of development. Through this
interruption of the normal course, be it only in the weak attempt at concentrating on making itself
understood, a new and forcible connection has taken place. To dissolve this unnatural connection again is
not so easy for one who is completely inexperienced in this matter. He cannot receive help in this matter,
because he desired the reconnection himself. Such a connection can easily be effected as long as the
physical body is not yet completely cold and the connecting cord exists, which often breaks only after
many weeks. It is unnecessary suffering for the dying man; it is rudeness and inconsiderateness on the
part of the bystanders. Therefore, absolute quiet should reign in the room of the dying person, a dignity
and seriousness appropriate to the importance of the hour! People who cannot control themselves should
be forcibly removed, even if they be the nearest relatives.

Redoil:
at least you make sense well

thanks alot my brother

A question which very often arises is whether a man should part with his earthly possessions or disregard
them altogether if he is striving for spiritual gain. It would be foolish to lay down such a principle! When
it is said that a man should not cling to earthly possessions as he strives towards the Kingdom of Heaven,
this does not mean that he should give or throw them away and live in poverty. Man may and should
enjoy with pleasure what God provides for him through His Creation. “Do not cling” to earthly
possessions only means that man should not allow himself to go so far as to make their accumulation the
main purpose of his life on earth, thus “clinging” mainly to this one idea. Such an attitude is naturally
bound to distract him from higher aims, for which he would have no time left. Indeed, with his whole
being he would only cling to this one aim of acquiring earthly possessions. Be it for the sake of the
possessions themselves, or for the sake of the pleasure they afford him, or for whatever other reasons, the
result would always be fundamentally the same. Such a man clings and thereby binds himself to what is
purely material, thus losing the ability to look upwards and ascend.
The erroneous conception that material possessions are incompatible with spiritually striving
upwards is responsible for the absurd view held by the majority of people that any spiritual endeavor must
never have anything in common with earthly possessions if it is to be taken seriously. The harm mankind
have done themselves through this view has strangely enough never occurred to them.
As a result they devalue the spiritual, i.e. the highest gifts that they can receive, and because of this
peculiar attitude all spiritual endeavors in the past had to depend on offerings and charity, just as beggars
did, so the same attitude as was shown towards beggars also crept in, unnoticed, towards spiritual
endeavors. These never could command the respect that, in reality, they are entitled to above all else. For
the same reason these endeavors were always doomed to perish from the very beginning, because they
could never stand firmly on their own feet, but always remained dependent upon the good will of men. In
order to protect and to guard toward humanity that which is the very most sacred thing to him, namely the
spiritual, one who is earnestly striving must not disdain earthly possessions! These must serve him
mainly as a shield in the Gross material world, in order to ward off like with like. It would create an
unhealthy condition if, in the age of materialists, those striving spiritually upwards should disdain the
strongest weapon of their unscrupulous opponents! This would show a recklessness which could avenge
itself grievously.
Therefore, all you true believers do not disdain worldly possessions, which also could only be
produced through the Will of God, Whom you seek to honor! Do not however let the comfort of such
earthly possessions lull you to sleep, but make sound use of them.
The same applies to the special gift of such powers as serve to heal various illnesses, or to similar
beneficial abilities. In a most naive or, better said, most impudent manner people assume that such
abilities should be made available to them free of charge, because they were given as a special gift from
spiritual spheres to be used on earth. This even goes so far as some people expecting to be met with
special expressions of joy when, in their great distress, they “condescend” to avail themselves of such
help. People such as this must be barred from all assistance, even if this were the only way left to help
them!
Those so gifted, however, should first learn to put a greater value on this gift of God themselves, so
that they do not continually cast pearls before swine. To provide true help they need far more physical
and ethereal power, as well as more time, than a lawyer needs for his best pleading, or a doctor for
visiting many patients, or an artist for creating a picture. It would never occur to anybody to expect the
lawyer, the doctor or the artist to do their work for free, although their intellectual ability, as every other
talent, is but “a gift of God,” nothing else. Now, at last, cast off these beggar’s rags and don the garment
that befits you.

What is exhibited by the majority of the so-called faithful is not faith. Real faith can only arise when a
man has made the contents of the Divine Messages completely his own, and thereby turned them into
spontaneous, living conviction.
Divine Messages are received through the Word of God and also through His Creation. Everything
bears witness to Him and to His Will. As soon as a man is able consciously to experience the entire
process of genesis and existence, all his intuitions, his thoughts and his deeds will unite in joyful
affirmation of God. Then, however, he will become silent, and will not speak about it much. He will have
become a personality who through this silent devotion to God, which can also be called trust in God,
stands firmly and securely in the entire Creation. He will not lose himself in fantasies or fits of ecstasy,
nor will he live an exclusively spiritual life here on earth, but attend to his earthly duties courageously and
with common sense, also skillfully using his keen intellect as a sharp weapon, necessary for his defense
when attacked, without of course being unjust in doing so. By no means should he silently tolerate being
treated with injustice, otherwise he would encourage and strengthen evil.
Now there are many who only imagine themselves to have faith! In spite of inwardly acknowledging
the existence of God and His activity, they fear the smile of the doubters. It is embarrassing and
uncomfortable to them, and in the course of conversation they silently let it pass with an inscrutable
expression on their faces, and in their embarrassment they constantly make concessions to the doubters
through their attitude. This is not faith, but merely inward conceding! In reality they are denying their
God, to Whom they pray in silence and from Whom they consequently expect every blessing.
This false consideration for the doubters cannot be excused by saying that to the “faithful” the subject
is “too sacred and too serious” to allow it to be exposed to possible ridicule. Nor can one call it modesty,
but merely base cowardice! Speak up at last and show your true colors! Fearless toward every man with
the pride befitting every child of God! Only then will the doubters be finally forced to bridle their sneers,
which only betray their uncertainty. At the present time, however, their mockery is only fostered and
encouraged by the timid behavior of many of the “faithful.”
These people deceive themselves, because they have ascribed an entirely different meaning to the
word “faith” from what this word demands. Faith must be a living thing, that is to say, it must become
even more than conviction, it must become deed! It has become deed as soon as it permeates everything,
all intuitions, thoughts, and actions. From within the man, in everything that pertains to him, his faith
must become visible and noticeable unobtrusively, i.e. it must become natural. It must not only be hung
out as a delusion nor as a signboard, but all that becomes manifest outwardly should merely be a result of
the natural radiation of the inner spiritual core. In plain words, true faith must be a power which, radiating
from the spirit of man, permeates his flesh and blood and so becomes completely natural, nothing
artificial or forced, nothing studied, only life!
Observe many of the faithful: They declare their absolute belief in life after death and apparently
orient their thinking accordingly. Yet if they ever have an opportunity to receive proof of this life in the
beyond which extends above a simple casual observation, they are shocked or deeply shaken! Thereby
they show that basically they were not so convinced after all of this life in the beyond, for otherwise such
an occasional proof would seem quite natural to them. Consequently they should neither be frightened nor
specially shaken by it. In addition there are countless instances which clearly reveal how little faith the
so-called faithful have. Faith is not alive in them.

Astrology is called the royal art, and not without reason. Not that it is the most exalted of arts or that it is
reserved only for earthly monarchs; but whoever proved really capable of practicing it could take royal
rank in the spiritual sense, since with it he would become controller of many events and non-events.
However, there is not a single human being on earth to whom these abilities have been entrusted.
Hence all work in this field must remain only pitiful attempts, unreliable if the practitioner’s intent is
serious, and sinful if conceit and morbid imagination play a part in it instead of deep earnestness.
On the whole the calculation of aspects of the stars alone can be of little value; for in addition to the
stellar radiations, there belongs, as the actual force of the effects, the living ethereal substance in all its
activity, such as the world of thought forms, karma, vibrations of the Darkness and of the Light in the
world of matter, and much else. Now, what human being can boast of being able clearly and sharply to
survey all of this from the deepest depths to the highest heights of the World of Matter!
The radiations of the stars only form the paths and channels through which all the living ethereal
substance can penetrate in a more concentrated form to the human soul in order to become effective there.
Figuratively speaking, one can say: the stars give the signal for the times when the returning reciprocal
actions can, through the guidance of their radiations, flow to the human being in a more complete and
concentrated form. Unfavorable or hostile stellar radiations become united with evil reciprocal effects
floating in the Ethereal World for the person in question, while favorable ones only unite with beneficial
ethereal vibrations according to homogeneity, therefore such calculations are not in themselves entirely
worthless, on the absolute condition however, that in the case of a person’s unfavorable star radiation
there must also be unfavorable reciprocal action due a person, or in case of favorable radiations favorable
reciprocal action needs to be present. Otherwise there can be no manifestation. On the other hand,
however, stellar radiations are not shadowy, alone by themselves, and ineffective if not linked with other
powers, but they do have certain automatic effects to some degree as a check. If in the Ethereal World
only bad reciprocal actions are due and working upon a person, then their activity will, on the days and
during the hours when the stellar radiations are favorable, be blocked, pushed back or at least strongly
restrained, according to the type of radiation. Vice versa, of course, when good reactions are at work,
unfavorable radiations will turn off that which is favorable so long as such radiations are active.
Even when the channels of the stellar radiations are empty, due to the lack of homogeneous reactions,
they still serve as a temporary barrier to other reactions that may be operating, so that they are never
altogether without influence. It is just that good radiations do not always bring benefit nor do evil
radiations always bring harm, unless there are corresponding reciprocal actions in store for a particular
person.
In response to this astrologers cannot claim: “There, you see, we are right after all.” They are only
right conditionally and in a very limited sense. This does not justify their frequent presumptuous
assertions and commercial promotions. Empty channels of stellar radiations can indeed bring
interruptions but nothing else, neither good nor evil. On the other hand, it must be admitted that the
temporary interruption of bad reactions is to some extent beneficial. For the one who is sorely harassed by
adversity it creates breathing space, which will enable him to gain strength for further endurance.
In spite of everything the calculations of the astrologers could be welcomed if the perpetual boasting
and advertising of so many were disregarded. However, there are still other important factors involved
which make the calculations very unreliable, so that in general they actually do more harm than good.
For not only the few stars which are available today for astrologers’ calculations play a role. There
are countless other stars, not even known to astrologers, which play a great role in decreasing,
strengthening, crossing or displacing the effects, so that the final picture of the calculations can often be
exactly the opposite of what today’s best astrologers are capable of stating.
Finally there is still another crucial point, the greatest and most difficult of all: that is the soul of each
individual! Only he who, in addition to all the other requirements, can assess each one of these souls, with
all its abilities, characteristics and karmic entanglements, as well as the totality of its striving, in short,
one who can truly assess genuine maturity or immaturity in the spiritual sense, only he might venture to
make calculations! If, owing to the condition of his soul, a human being is surrounded by many dark influences, nothing luminous or good can reach him, however favorable the stellar radiations may be. If,
on the other hand, the condition of a person’s soul permits only purity and light to surround him, then the
most unfavorable stellar radiations will not be able to oppress him to the extent of seriously harming him,
for in the end the circumstances must always turn out for the better. The Omnipotence and Wisdom of
God are not as one-sided as the disciples of astrology imagine them to be in their calculations. God does
not make the fate of human beings, that is, their weal and woe, dependent only upon stellar radiations.
Although they do have a powerful influence, not only for the individual, but in all world happenings, they
are only tools. However, the activity of these tools is not only bound up with many other influences, but
remains dependent upon them in all its possible manifestations. Even though some astrologers imagine
that they work from inner perspectives, through intuition or inspiration, this cannot deepen their insight
sufficiently to warrant greater confidence in the correctness of their calculations.
Their inspirations cannot come from a higher level because a veil remains drawn from there due to
the unfathomable gulf existing between the all-seeing Spirit and humanity. The calculations remain one-
sided patchwork, inadequate, and with many gaps, in short: imperfect, thus false. They create disquiet
among men. Disquiet is the soul’s most dangerous enemy, for it breaks down the soul’s natural defenses
and often lets in evil which would otherwise have found no entrance. Many people feel uneasy when they
tell themselves that they are at the moment under the influence of adverse radiations; often, however, they
become over-confident and unwise when convinced that they are subject to good radiations. In view of
the inadequacy of all these calculations they are only burdening themselves with unnecessary worries
instead of always exhibiting a free, joyous spirit, which sets up a more powerful defense than the most
adverse radiations could break down. If they are so bent upon it, astrologers should simply continue their
work and try to perfect themselves in it, but only in private and for themselves, which is what those who
are really to be taken seriously are already doing! For the time being they should spare other people such
imperfections, since they have only harmful and destructive effects and result in undermining self-
confidence and in a harmful binding of free spirits, which must be avoided at all cost.

This expression, so often used, is one of the principal sedatives of all those who call themselves believing
Christians. But it is a poison which intoxicates. Like many poisons which are only used to deaden
physical pain arising from disease, thus creating apparent relief, so a similar condition is brought about
spiritually with the words: “Cast all your guilt upon Him; for He has redeemed us and through His
wounds we are healed!”
Since this is accepted by the faithful as one of the basic tenets of the doctrines of the Christian
churches, its effect upon them is so much the more devastating. Their whole inner attitude is built upon it.
Through this, however, they fall prey to the deadly embrace of blind faith, in which they are only able to
view everything else as in a dense mist, until finally the whole picture is blurred, and a gray veil descends
over the Truth, so that they are only able to find support in the artificial structure of distorted theories, all
of which must collapse on the day of recognition.
“Cast all your guilt upon Him...!” Foolish delusion! Like a fire, the shining Truth will sweep into the
hosts of false teachers and indolent believers, and consume all that is untrue! Yet even today the masses
bask comfortably in the belief that everything the Savior suffered and did was done for them. With their
indolent thinking they call presumptuous and sacrilegious all those who imagine that they themselves
must also contribute something in order to be able to enter Heaven. In this respect many show an
astonishing humility and modesty, qualities which in other areas are completely lacking in them. In their
opinion it would be blasphemy to harbor the thought, however faint and timid, that the Savior’s descent to
earth, and the suffering and death He therewith took upon Himself, were not sufficient to wipe away the
sins of all those human beings who no longer doubt that He lived on earth at that time.
“Cast all your guilt upon Him...” they think with fervent devotion, without knowing what they are
really doing. They sleep, but the time will come when they will have a terrible awakening! Their faith,
apparently so humble, is nothing but self-complacency and boundless arrogance in imagining that a Son
of God would come down to serve them, and prepare a path on which they can mindlessly saunter straight
into Heaven. Actually, everyone should be able to readily recognize the hollowness of this. It can only
arise out of an indescribable laziness and frivolity, unless it was used out of shrewdness as bait to gain
earthly advantages!
Mankind have lost themselves in a maze of a thousand paths, and deceive themselves in their foolish
faith. What a debasement of God this implies. What is man to have the effrontery to expect God to send
His Inborn Son, a part of His Own Unsubstantiate Essence, so that men can cast their load of sin upon
Him, only in order to avoid the trouble of washing their own dirty linen and clearing away the dark layer
they had heaped upon themselves. Woe to those who will one day have to account for such thoughts! It is
the most insolent defilement of the Sublime Godhead! The Mission of Christ was not of such a low order,
but sublime and demanding in pointing to the Father.
I have already referred to the Son of God’s great work of redemption. *(Lecture No. 14: The Redeemer)
The seeds sown by His great Work of Love have sprouted in this world and in the beyond, bringing forth
all kinds of fruit. In the meantime many who were only called by men have frequently claimed to be
called by God, seizing these pure teachings with unholy hands, dragging them down to their own level,
thereby dimming their clarity. Mankind, who trusted them without first seriously examining the Word
which they taught, fell with them. The lofty kernel of Divine Truth was surrounded with earthly narrow-
mindedness, such that the form remained, but all luminosity was destroyed through the obsession with
earthly power and advantage. Only dim twilight reigns where the brightest radiance of spiritual life could
be. Pleading humanity was robbed of the precious jewel which Christ Jesus brought to all who long for it.
Distorted by a veil of selfish desires, seekers are shown a false path, which not only makes them lose
precious time, but very often even drives them into the arms of the darkness.
False doctrines grew up rapidly. They choked simplicity and truth, covering them with an iridescent
garment, the brilliant colors of which, however, like poisonous plants, hold dangers benumbing all who
approach, whereby the vigilance of the faithful with regard to themselves is paralyzed and finally dies.
With this every possibility for ascent to the true Light dies! Once more the mighty Call of Truth will
reverberate through every land. Then the final reckoning will come for each one through the fate he
himself has woven. Men will finally receive what they have so persistently advocated in the past. They will have to live through all the errors which they sought to advance in their desires or presumptuous
thoughts, or which they tried to follow. For many the result will be howling and gnashing of teeth from
fear, anger and from despair.
Those who are badly stricken by evil and those who are rejected in the Judgment will suddenly
perceive it as unjust and cruel as soon as they are thrust into that reality which, during their earth-life, was
the only one they wanted to recognize as being true, and which they also continually bestowed upon their
fellow-men. Then they expect help from God whom they had faced with such boundless presumption!
They will beseech Him and call Him, they will expect Him in His Divinity to easily forgive even the
worst sins of the “ignorant,” small human beings. In their way of thinking, He will suddenly be far too
“great” to be able to hold such things against them. He Whom they had so debased!
But He will not listen to them, nor will He help them anymore, because they did not want to listen
before to His Word which He sent them! And herein lies that Justice which can never be separated from
His great Love.
It was the duty of men to examine for themselves the Word which He had given to them. Even if they
refused to accept His messengers as such. Like thunder, a voice will therefore reverberate towards them:
“You have refused! Therefore you will now be destroyed and erased from the Book of Life!”

Perhaps we would do better to say: human beings who wish to be ideal! But here we must first of all very
carefully exclude all those who already consider themselves or would like to be considered as such, but
who cannot even be classed with those who wish to be ideal. They form the large class of sentimental
dreamers of both sexes, to which must also be added persons gifted with imagination, who never could
learn to control their gift and make good use of it. We must also exclude those who are always
dissatisfied with existing conditions, and who attribute their dissatisfaction to the fact that they tend to be
more idealistic than all others and therefore do not fit in with their time. Then there is the great number of
the so-called “misunderstood” of both sexes, of which girls and women form the greater majority. People
of this type imagine that they are misunderstood. In plain English they live continually under the illusion
that they possess valuable treasures which the other person with whom they happen to be associated at the
time is unable to recognize. In reality, however, there is no treasure at all hidden in these souls, merely an
inexhaustible source of endless wishes that can never be satisfied.
One can safely and simply call all these so-called misunderstood people “useless” people, because
they prove how useless they are for proper life in the present time, being addicted only to what is unreal,
and to some extent even frivolous. They always incline to what is unsuitable for a healthy life on earth.
Unfortunately the path of these eternally misunderstood girls and women very frequently leads to a life
commonly described as “frivolous” and immoral, because they only too gladly, too readily and too often
let themselves be “consoled” which is well known and unscrupulously exploited by a certain type of man.
The fact is that these misunderstood people are and will always remain unreliable in every respect. They
think themselves idealistic, but they are completely worthless, so that a serious person who harbors no
bad intentions had better avoid them. Trying to help them would be of no avail. Almost invariably it will
be “comforters” with evil intentions who approach them, in which cases the reciprocal action quickly falls
back upon them, for upon the breast or in the arms of a so-called comforter the misunderstood girl or
woman will again feel “misunderstood” after a few days or weeks, and will once more long to be
understood, for in fact she does not really know what she wants. Finally, added to all these useless
groups, is the group of harmless dreamers! Apparently as harmless as children. But such a dreamer is only
harmless in his effect upon himself and his own person, but is not so harmless in regard to his own
environment and all the people he meets. On many people mere conversation with such a person
immediately acts like a slow, corroding poison, destructive and consuming, because by developing his
ideas he is able to tear his listeners out of their normal and therefore healthy life, and lead them into the
realm of what is unsuitable and unreal for their time on earth. However, be it noted: I do not say such a
dreamer is impure or even bad. On the contrary he may have the best intentions, but it will always be
something that is unreal for the earth, unfeasible in practice, and therefore his influence is not furthering,
but hindering and destructive to life on earth.
But even among the remaining people who are “striving for ideals” we must make a further
distinction and, observing keenly, we will then still find two types: those who are only “striving to
emulate ideals” and those whose striving is really ideal. Those longing for the ideal are mostly weaklings
who are always longing for something which can never be attained, at least not on earth, and who,
therefore, can never be really happy or even joyful. They are close to the group of the “misunderstood”
and in time they fall prey to a morbid sensitivity which leads to nothing good. Having thus keenly sifted
them, we must now, figuratively speaking, look for the remaining few with a lantern in broad daylight;
they are this scarce. Even these few cannot be called “ideal human beings,” but as I have already said they
are people who “strive towards the ideal.” Striving towards the ideal, as a personal quality, which is
active on earth. These then are the people who can be regarded as having full value, who have a great,
often mighty goal in view, but who never allow themselves to live in the clouds. They keep both feet
firmly planted on the ground, so as not to lose themselves in what is unreal for life here on earth. With
sound outlook and skilled hand they strive step by step towards their far-reaching goal without harming
anybody undeservedly. Whatever benefit is brought about by such people will seldom be confined to
single individuals. There is no question of their taking unfair advantage of anyone, as that would not
justify their title of “ideal striving.” And every human being should and could strive towards the ideal, no
matter what his occupation here on earth. In doing so he can ennoble every kind of work and give it a
grand goal, only he must never forget to keep everything within the framework of life on earth. If he goes
beyond that it becomes unreal and therewith unsound for this earth. The result is that progress which is the basic condition and mark of all that strives towards the ideal can never be achieved. It is man’s duty
on earth to set himself the highest attainable goal, and to strive for this goal with all the powers at his
disposal. As a human being! This excludes from the beginning that, like an animal, he should merely
trouble himself about food and drink as, unfortunately, many men do; or let himself be whipped by the
intellect into striving only for worldly greatness or fame without keeping in view as the main purpose the
general welfare and advancement of mankind. All such people have less value on earth than the animals,
because an animal is always completely and unaffectedly what it is meant to be, even if it only serves to
keep other creatures on the alert so that no debilitating slackness sets in, which might lead to decline and
disintegration, for movement remains a vital condition of life in Creation. Vigilance! The vigilant person
who really strives for ideals can be recognized by his efforts to uplift existing things on earth, not in the
intellectual sense of increasing power and position, but towards ennobling them! All his ideas will
possess the possibility of being realized on earth, and will bring gain to the individual as well as to
mankind in general. But those who only wish to be ideal wallow in ideas that cannot possibly be put into
practice in a sound earth-life. On the contrary these ideas merely divert them and draw them into a dream
world, with the harmful result that they neglect to make use of the present time for the maturing of the
spirit, which everyone is to cultivate and develop through the experiences of the present.
Strictly speaking those people who hold idealist-communist thoughts are dangerous to mankind,
because the realization of their ideas would only bring about unhealthy conditions, although they
themselves only want what is good. They are like builders who carefully construct a house in their
building yard which is to be put up elsewhere. It looks trim and beautiful... in the building yard. But when
erected on the actual site it stands unsteady and askew so that nobody can live in it, for the ground there is
uneven and it is impossible to level it in spite of the greatest efforts and exertions. The builders had
forgotten to take this into account. They neglected to properly evaluate the exact conditions prevailing at
the site of erection! One truly striving for the ideal would not do this!
When put into practice ideal-communistic ideas cannot grow up from such a foundation, nor can they
be anchored in or connected with it, because this foundation, human beings, are not suited to it! It is too
uneven, and will always remain so, because a uniform maturity of all men on earth cannot be achieved.
There will always be a great variation in the respective level of maturity of human beings, because
spiritually, individuals are and will remain completely independent personalities who can only develop in
different ways, since the free will to decide for themselves shall never be taken from these spirit-persons!
For the outside the hitherto free will has been taken from mankind in the great cosmic turning point
through the incarnation on earth of the Will of God who, quite naturally, now has to rule over the will of
man, because He stands above it and is stronger than it! Each individual can only inwardly decide one
more time regarding his spiritual path that will lead him to the Light of preservation or to the darkness of
decomposition! Now try to recognize the people who truly strive for the ideal here on earth, and support
their work, because their up-building activity will only bring benefit. —

With few exceptions, mankind labor under a boundless delusion which is fatal for them!
God has no need to run after them and beg them to believe in His existence. Nor are His servants sent
out to forever admonish people never to turn away from Him. This would be absurd. To think and expect
such things is a dishonoring and debasing of the sublime Godhead. This erroneous conception causes
great harm. It is fostered by the behavior of many truly earnest pastors who, out of a real love for God and
men, try again and again to convert people who are oriented only toward earthly things, to convince them
and win them over to the church. All this only tends to immeasurably increase man’s conceit in regard to
his importance, of which he has more than enough already and in the end to really place many under the
delusion that they must be begged to strive for what is good. This is also the cause of the strange attitude
of the majority of all “believers” whose example is more often a deterrent than an inspiration. Thousands
upon thousands feel a certain inner satisfaction, exaltation, in the consciousness that they believe in God,
that they utter their prayers with the requisite earnestness, and that they do not intentionally harm their
neighbors.
In this inner “exaltation” they feel a certain reward for goodness, gratitude from God for their
obedience, and they sense a connection with God, of Whom they even think at times with a certain thrill
which produces, or leaves behind, a state of bliss, in which they revel.
But these legions of believers are on the wrong course. Living happily in a self-created delusion, they
are unaware that it numbers them with those Pharisees who, with the genuine but mistaken feeling of
gratitude, make their small sacrifices: “Lord, I thank Thee that I am not as other men are.” This is not
expressed in words, nor really in thought, but the inner “uplifting feeling” is nothing but this unconscious
prayer of thanks, which Christ too has already shown to be false.
In these cases, the inner “exaltation” is nothing more than self-satisfaction produced by prayer or
deliberate good thoughts. Those who call themselves humble are mostly very far from really being
humble! It often requires great effort to speak with such believers. In such a frame of mind they will
never attain to the bliss which they are confident of possessing already! They must take care not to be lost
altogether in their spiritual arrogance, which they consider to be humility. It will be easier for many who
now are still absolute non-believers to enter the Kingdom of God than for all the legions with their
arrogant humility, who do not really stand before God in simple supplication, but are indirectly
demanding that He reward them for their prayers and pious words. Their petitions are demands, their
nature is hypocritical. They will be swept away like empty chaff before His Countenance. They will reap
their reward, certainly, but it will be different from what they imagine. They have already satisfied
themselves enough on earth in the consciousness of their own value.
The feeling of well-being will rapidly disappear on passing into the Ethereal World, where the inner
intuitive perception, which is scarcely sensed here, will come to the fore, while the feeling hitherto mainly
produced only by thoughts will be scattered to the winds.
This inner, silent, so-called humble expectation of something better is really nothing but a demand,
even though expressed differently in ever such beautiful words. But every demand is a presumption. Only
God demands! Christ too did not bring His message to mankind pleading with them but warning and
demanding. Though He gave explanations about the Truth He did not woo his hearers by holding rewards
before their eyes in order to entice them to become better. Calmly and sternly He commanded serious
seekers: Go thou and do likewise!
God stands before humanity demanding, not enticing and pleading, not lamenting and grieving. He
will calmly abandon to the Darkness all the wicked, even all the wavering ones, so that those who are
striving upwards shall no longer be exposed to their attacks and that the others be enabled to thoroughly
experience everything they consider to be right, and thus come to the recognition of their error!

Summary pls

it's basically about an insight on how clairvoyance and clairaudience do work

When a person makes use of a table, or a glass, or indeed of any gross material object, he thus enters
upon the battle-ground which is familiar to the Darkness. The soil which all Darkness calls its own. From
the start he thereby yields to the Darkness a power against which he cannot put up adequate protection.
Let us for a moment consider a spiritist pastime, or simply a party game with a table, and follow the
spiritual, or rather the ethereal happenings.
When one or more persons approach a table for the purpose of contacting through it someone in the
beyond, so as to either have them make knocking noises, or, more commonly, move the table, so as to
enable them to form words from these signs, then, through the connection with material substance, it is
first and foremost also the Darkness which is attracted and will take over the manifestations. They often
use high-sounding language with great skill, and seek to answer the thoughts of men, which they can read
quite easily, in the manner these desire; but if serious questions arise they invariably lead them astray and,
if it is done often, try to gradually bring them under their ever-increasing influence, and so to slowly but
surely drag them down. Yet they very skillfully leave those that they mislead in the belief that they are
ascending.
But, if perhaps at the very start, or at some other opportunity, a relative or friend who has passed over
communicates through the table, which happens very frequently, the deception is accomplished even
more easily. People will recognize that it must really be a specific friend who manifests, and then will
believe that it is always he when utterances are transmitted through the table and the name of the friend is
given as the author.
But this is not the case! Not only does the ever watchful Darkness make cunning use of the name to
make deceptions appear as authentic as possible, and gain the confidence of the questioners; but it even
goes so far that a dark entity will interfere in the middle of a sentence begun by the real friend, and
purposely give it a false ending. This leads to the scarcely known fact that two have taken part in one
smoothly and flowingly spoken sentence. First it is the real, and perhaps quite luminous, therefore purer
friend, and then a dark entity of evil volition, without the questioner noticing anything of it.
The results of this are easy to imagine. The trusting person is deceived and his faith shaken. The
opponent uses the incident to support his ridicule and doubts, and occasionally to make violent attacks on
the whole subject. But in fact both are wrong, which can only be attributed to the ignorance still
prevailing in the whole matter.
What occurs, however, takes place in all naturalness: If a more luminous and real friend is at the table
wishing to comply with the wish of the questioner and to manifest himself, and a dark spirit crowds to the
table, then the more luminous one must retreat, since the darker one can develop greater strength through
the material substance of the table acting as intermediary, because at the present time all that is material is
the actual domain of the Darkness.
The mistake is made by the person who chooses material objects, and thus from the outset provides
unequal ground. What is dense, heavy, and therefore dark, by virtue of its density, does stand nearer to
gross matter than what is luminous, pure and lighter, and it develops greater strength through the closer
connection.
On the other hand something more luminous but still able to manifest through a material object, also
still possesses a certain degree of density corresponding with the object; otherwise a link with physical
matter for the purpose of any kind of communication would no longer be possible at all. This in itself
requires a closer approach to matter, which in turn involves the possibility of contamination as soon as the
connection with the Darkness is made through a material object. To avoid this danger the more luminous
one has no option but to withdraw quickly from the material, i.e. from the table or some other aid, as soon
as a dark entity reaches for it, in order to cut off the intermediary link, which would form a bridge over
the natural gulf which separates and thereby protects.
In such cases it is unavoidable for those in the beyond to relinquish the person experimenting through
the table to the mercy of base influences. Indeed, his own action proves that he did not will it differently;
for ignorance of the Laws cannot protect him here either.
For many these processes will clarify much that has hitherto been inexplicable, numerous puzzling
contradictions will be solved, and it is to be hoped that in future many people will leave such dangerous
toys alone! Dangers connected with all other experiments which are much bigger and more powerful can now be
described in the same detailed manner. But for the time being it should suffice to mention these most
common and widespread instances.
Only one other danger must yet be mentioned. Through this kind of questioning and desperately
seeking for replies and advice, people make themselves very dependent and lose their self-reliance. This
is the opposite of life’s purpose on earth.
In every respect it is the wrong course! It only brings harm, no benefit. It is a groveling on the ground
where there is danger of constantly encountering loathsome vermin, of wasting one’s strength, and of
finally collapsing, exhausted, by the wayside... all for nothing!
With this “desire to investigate” however, much damage is also done to those in the beyond!
Many dark entities are thereby offered an opportunity, indeed a direct temptation to commit evil and
to burden themselves with fresh guilt, which they could not so easily do otherwise. Others are held back
in their upward striving through the constant attachments formed by such wishes and thoughts. In clearly
observing the nature of these investigations it often appears so childishly obstinate, so completely
saturated with a most ruthless egotism, and withal so clumsy, that one must shake one’s head and ask
oneself how anyone could possibly want to open up to the general public a region of which he himself
does not even know the first thing.
It is also wrong for all these investigations to take place before the general public. To do so opens the
way for fantastic dreamers and charlatans, making it difficult for mankind to gain confidence.
This has never happened in any other field. And every research whose complete success is now
acknowledged was subject to numerous failures during the preceding period of research. But the public
were not allowed to take part in them to the same extent! They become fatigued by them, and in due
course lose all interest. The result is that when the Truth is finally discovered the major impetus for a
revolutionary and sweeping enthusiasm was bound to be lost beforehand. Mankind can no longer rouse
itself to an exultant joy, so convincing that it carries everything along with it.
Setbacks from the pursuance of wrong courses become sharp weapons in the hands of many enemies,
who in the course of time are able to instill such distrust in the minds of hundreds of thousands of people
that, when the Truth emerges, these unfortunates will no longer desire to examine it seriously for sheer
fear of a new delusion! They close their ears, which they would otherwise have opened, and so they miss
the last span of time that could still grant them the opportunity to ascend to the Light. Thereby the
Darkness will have won a further victory! Thanks to the researchers who extended their hands for it and
who gladly and proudly set themselves up as leaders of modern psychic sciences! Thanks for reading. Have a blissful week ahead

them. Such experiments, however, completely rule out any such thing from the outset and forever! While
an investigator, through artificial assistance, may ultimately be able to push some sensitive or
mediumistic human being out of his earthly gross material body into the Ethereal World nearest to him,
but not a hair’s breadth above the region to which he belongs in any case by virtue of his inner
development. On the contrary, through artificial assistance he cannot even bring him that far, but always
only to the environment nearest to all that is earthly.
However, this environment nearest to the earthly can only contain all that of the beyond which is still
closely earthbound, that which remains chained to the earth by its inferiority, its vice and passion.
Naturally, now and then something more advanced will also temporarily dwell in this environment.
But this is not always to be expected. Nothing exalted can be there, purely by virtue of the Natural Laws.
Sooner would the world be turned upside down, or... the soil for anchoring the Light would have to be
present in a human being!
It is hardly to be assumed, however, that this should be found either in an experimental subject or in
such a groping investigator. Thus the danger and uselessness of all experiments remain.
Moreover it is certain that without the presence of a highly advanced human being, purifying
anything of a coarser nature, something of a really higher nature cannot approach a medium, much less
speak through him. Materializations *(turning gross-material) from higher circles are altogether out of the
question, to say nothing of such popular pastimes as knocking, movements of objects, and so on. The gap
is far too wide to be easily bridged.
Even with a medium, all these things can only be carried out by such souls in the beyond as are still
very closely connected with matter. Were it possible otherwise, that is to say, if an exalted being could so
easily make contact with humanity, then there would have been no need whatever for Christ to become
man, but He could have accomplished His Mission without this sacrifice. *(Lecture No. 14: The
Redeemer) The souls of men today, however, are certainly no more highly developed than at the time of
Jesus on earth, so that it cannot be assumed to be easier to establish connection with the Light now than it
was in those days.
Now, psychic scientists declare, of course, that their primary aim is to establish the fact of the
existence of life in the beyond, and especially the fact that life continues after physical death; and that in
view of the doubt prevailing today very strong and forceful arguments are needed, hence earthly tangible
proof, to breach the defenses of the adversaries.
But this reasoning does not justify the repeated endangering of human souls in such a wanton way!
Besides, there is really no compelling need to set about convincing malevolent opponents at all costs!
Surely it is well known, and already made clear in Christ’s statements, that they would not be prepared to
believe even if an angel came directly from Heaven to proclaim the Truth to them. As soon as the angel
had gone they would simply insist that it was a case of mass hallucination and no angel at all, or trump up
some other excuse. And if any thing or any body were brought, which or who remains in an earthly state,
i.e. neither vanishing nor becoming invisible, there would again be other excuses, just because it would
then be too earthly for those who do not wish to believe in a beyond. They would not hesitate to declare
such proof a swindle, the person a dreamer, a fanatic, or a swindler. Whether it be too earthly or too
unearthly, or both together, they will always have something to find fault with or to have doubts about.
And if they know of absolutely no other way, they will fling mud, proceed to vigorous attacks, and will
not shrink from violence.
Therefore, no sacrifices should be made in order to convince these doubters! Still less, however, for
many of the so-called adherents! With a strange kind of arrogance, these think that, due to their generally
rather vague and fantastic belief in life in the beyond, they can make certain demands on it in order to
“see” or “experience” something. They expect from their guides other-worldly signs as a reward for their
good behavior. The expectations they harbor, which they consider to be their natural due, are often as
utterly ridiculous as the knowing, benevolently forgiving smile with which they mask their real
ignorance. It is poison to stage performances for these masses; for since they imagine they know so much,
the experiments are little more to them than well-earned hours of entertainment, in which those in the
beyond are expected to act as music-hall performers.
Now, leaving aside the big experiments, let us consider small ones, such as table-turning. These are by no means as harmless as people imagine, but because of the extreme ease with which these practices
can spread they are a very grave danger!
Everyone should be warned against this! Enlightened persons must turn away in horror when they see
how casually these things are treated. How many adherents seek to display their “knowledge” in various
circles by suggesting experiments in table-turning, or by introducing into families, with smiles or
mysterious whispers, the almost playful practice with letters and a glass, or some other aid, which, when a
hand is laid on it lightly, glides or is drawn toward various letters, thus forming words. With uncanny
rapidity all this has developed into party games carried out amid laughter, derision and at times a
pleasantly scary sensation.
Every day older and younger ladies, in families or alone, are seated at little tables before a piece of
cardboard on which letters have been drawn, which, if possible, must even be of a very special design, so
as to provide the hocus-pocus stimulating the imagination, which actually is quite unnecessary; for the
object would also be accomplished without it, if the person concerned has even a slight tendency towards
these things. And there are countless numbers of them!
Modern psychic scientists and leaders of occult societies are glad of this, because real words and
sentences are formed which the performer has neither consciously nor unconsciously thought of. He must
become convinced through this and increase the number of adherents of the “occult.”
Publications of occult societies point to this, speakers support it, and appliances are made and sold to
facilitate all this nonsense, and thus almost the entire occult world acts as a well-functioning henchmen of
the Darkness, in the honest conviction of being priests of the Light!
These occurrences alone prove the utter ignorance that lies in occult endeavors of this kind! They
show that of all these people no one really sees! It must not be regarded as proof to the contrary if now
and then some good medium has developed from such beginnings, or rather, to be more correct, if a good
medium in the early stages was temporarily attracted to them, this must not be regarded as proof to the
contrary.
The few people predestined for this have in their own natural development a totally different
protection, carefully watching over every step, which others do not enjoy. However, this protection is
only effective in natural self-development, without any artificial aids! For protection lies, as a matter of
course, only in anything that is natural.
As soon as there is the slightest help, whether through exercises by the person himself or from
another source in the form of magnetic sleep or hypnotism, it becomes unnatural, and is thus no longer
completely in harmony with the Natural Laws which alone can grant protection. When ignorance, as it
exists everywhere today is added to this, then it becomes disastrous. Volition alone will never replace
ability when it comes to action. But no one should exceed his abilities.
It is of course possible that among the hundreds of thousands who engage in this dangerous pastime
there may be here and there one who really escapes unpunished and enjoys good protection. There are
also many who will only be harmed in such a way as is not yet apparent on earth; and not until they pass
on must they suddenly realize the follies they have actually indulged in. But there are also many who
already bear physical evidence of harm, although they will never recognize the real cause during their life
on earth.
For this reason the ethereal and spiritual process occurring during these pastimes must be explained.
It is as simple as everything in Creation, and by no means complicated, yet more difficult than many
imagine.
In the present state of the earth the Darkness has, through the volition of mankind, gained the upper
hand over everything material. Thus in all material things it stands to all intents and purposes on its own
familiar ground, and can therefore manifest to the fullest extent in the material. Hence it is in its element
there, fighting on soil with which it is well acquainted. It therefore, for the time being, dominates over the
Light in all that is material, i.e. gross material.
The consequence is that in all things material the power of the Darkness becomes greater than that of
the Light. In such pastimes however, as table-turning, etc., the Light, i.e. what is exalted, has absolutely
no part. At best we can speak of evil, thus darkness, or of something better, i.e. more luminous.......

Modern psychic science! What gathers beneath this banner! What an odd collection of proponents and
opponents! A playground for earnest seeking, little knowledge, great plans, vanity and stupidity; in many
cases for empty boasting, and still more for the most unscrupulous commercialism. Out of this confusion
there frequently blossom envy and boundless hatred, which finally results in the basest kind of malicious
vindictiveness.
In such a state of affairs it is naturally not surprising if many people shun all these mad activities,
fearing to poison themselves by coming into contact with them. They are not altogether wrong; for
countless adherents of psychic science show anything but enticing, still less attractive behavior; on the
contrary, everything about them warns others to exercise the greatest caution.
It is strange that the whole field of so-called psychic science, which is often confused by the
malicious or ignorant with ghost science, is today still considered a sort of open territory where everyone
may go about doing his own brand of mischief, unhindered, even unrestrained and with impunity.
It is considered to be so. But experiences have already very often taught that it is not so!
Countless pioneers in this field who were foolhardy enough to venture a few steps forward in their
investigations, equipped with only an imagined knowledge, have become helpless victims of their
carelessness. The only sad thing about this is that all these victims fell without bringing even the slightest
benefit to humanity!
Now each of these cases should really have proved that the way followed is not the right one, because
it brings only harm and even destruction, but no blessing. Yet with a strange persistence these false ways
are retained, and fresh victims are continually sacrificed; a great clamor is raised over every small speck
of dust that is discovered and newly recognized, although self-evident in the mighty Creation, and
innumerable treatises are written which must repel many serious seekers, because the merely uncertain
groping therein is clearly evident.
All investigations until now should really be called dangerous pastimes, based on good intentions.
The field of psychic science, which is considered open territory, can never be entered upon with
impunity as long as one does not first know how to take into account the spiritual Laws to their full
extent. Every conscious or unconscious opposition to these Laws, that is “non-observance” of them,
which is equivalent to transgression, must through their inevitable reciprocal action strike the bold,
frivolous or careless person who does not or cannot observe them strictly.
Trying to explore the non-earthly with earthly means and possibilities is no different from placing an
undeveloped child, as yet unfamiliar with earthly dangers, alone in a jungle, where only a man adequately
equipped for it and at the height of his strength, exercising greatest precaution, can have any prospect of
getting through unharmed.
It is no different for modern psychic scientists and their present methods, even if they believe their
intentions to be absolutely serious, and if they really take great risks for the sole purpose of gaining
knowledge to help men advance across a boundary, before which they have long been waiting and
knocking.
Even today these researchers stand before this boundary like children, helpless and groping, unaware
of the dangers that may rush towards them at any moment, or pour forth through them on to others if their
groping efforts breach the natural defenses, or open a door that for many had better remain closed.
All this is nothing but recklessness, not boldness, as long as those desiring to forge ahead are not
absolutely certain that they will be able to completely and instantly master all possible dangers which
may arise, not only for themselves but also for others.
Those “investigators” who engage in experiments act most irresponsibly of all. Attention has already
been repeatedly called to the crime of hypnotism. *(Lecture No. 35: The crime of hypnotism) Investigators
experimenting in yet other ways in most cases, knowing nothing themselves – for otherwise they would
surely not do it – make the regrettable mistake of putting other persons who are very sensitive or have
mediumistic abilities, into either a magnetic or even hypnotic sleep, in order to bring them nearer to the physically invisible influences of the “other world” in the hope of thereby hearing and observing various
things which would not be possible if the experimental subject were in a fully day-conscious condition.
In at least ninety-five out of a hundred cases they thus expose such persons to great dangers, which
they are not yet ready to cope with; for every kind of artificial help towards deeper penetration is a
binding of the soul, which forces it into a state of sensitiveness that goes beyond what its natural
development would permit.
The result is that the soul of a victim of such experiments suddenly stands in a region where he is
robbed of his natural protection by the artificial training, or for which he does not have his natural
protection, which can only be formed through personal, sound inner development.
One must picture such a pitiable person as standing naked, tied to a stake and pushed far out into
dangerous territory as bait, in order to attract and be affected by the as yet unknown life and activity there,
so that he can report on it; or so that various manifestations will also become visible to others, through his
co-operation by producing certain earthly substances from his body.
Such an experimented upon person is able at times, through the connection his projected soul must
maintain with his earthly body, to report all that happens as through a telephone, and transmit it to the
observer.
However, should the outpost thus artificially pushed forward be attacked in some way, he cannot
defend himself because he lacks his natural protection; he is helplessly exposed, because with the aid of
others he has been artificially pushed into territory where, according to the state of his own development,
he does not belong yet or not at all. The so-called researcher, however, whose thirst for knowledge
pushed him into it, can do just as little to help him, since he himself is an inexperienced stranger in the
place whence the danger comes, and therefore is unable to provide any kind of protection.
This is how researchers unwittingly become criminals, who cannot be prosecuted for this by earthly
justice. However, this does not prevent the spiritual Laws from exercising their reciprocal action with full
force, and chaining the investigator to his victim.
Many a person used for experiments has suffered ethereal attacks which in due course, often quickly,
or immediately, have a gross-material-physical effect as well, so that physical illness or death follows, but
without eliminating the harm done to the soul.
The observers who call themselves investigators, however, and who push their victims into unknown
regions, in most cases stand during such hazardous experiments under good earthly cover through the
protection of their body and day-consciousness.
They seldom share simultaneously in the dangers confronting the test persons in a way that such
dangers immediately pass on to them. But then, at their physical death, i.e. the transition into the Ethereal
World, because they are chained to their victims they must inevitably go wherever these may have been
pulled, so that only together with them they may slowly begin to ascend once more.
The artificial projection of a soul into another region must not always be taken to mean that the soul
leaves the body and floats away to another region. In most cases it just remains in the body. But the
magnetic or hypnotic sleep makes the soul unnaturally sensitive, so that it responds to much finer currents
and influences than would be possible in its natural state. It is self-evident that in this unnatural condition
the full strength is not available, which the soul would otherwise possess if it had attained this point
through its own inner development, and would therefore stand firmly and securely on this new and more
refined soil, bringing an equal strength to bear on all influences. Because of this lack of sound full vigor,
the artificiality produces an inequality which is bound to entail disturbances. As a result all intuitive
perceptions become absolutely blurred, giving rise to distortions of reality.
The cause of the false reports and countless errors is again always given only by the investigators
themselves, through their harmful assistance. That is also why in the many “investigated” matters from
the occult field already available so much does not accord with strict logic. They contain countless errors,
which until now could not yet be recognized as such.
Absolutely nothing that could be of the slightest use or blessing to mankind is gained by these
obviously wrong methods.
In reality, only that which helps men upwards, or at least points a path thereto, can be of any use to....... to be continued next Sunday

ublight:
i remember those days one cross bearer was teaching me on some of your doctrines. I felt he was saying the truth untill the day i stumbled upon the original translation of matt 6. I then realized that the grail message had built a false doctrine by misquoting Jesus.

The bible can never mean something else aprt from what the writer meant.

Today I am glad I met the grail message cos it made me become a Bible scholar, and i found the truth in Christ. Becos of that i always engage every grail adherent cos i want to help them come out of error. Sadly, a lot of them back away when i present profound doctrine against their believes.

May God help you guys.

can you elaborate more sir?

Above all, if they could but once critically observe themselves with a view to the position of power
bestowed upon them, so as to recognize how senselessly they squander this power in petty and transitory
things, how they raise trifles to a contemptible position of importance, and how they feel themselves great
in things in which they must appear very small in comparison with their real purpose as human beings in
Creation. Man of today is like one to whom a kingdom is given, but who prefers to idle away his time
with the most simple of children's toys!
It is only natural, and not to be expected otherwise, that the mighty powers which have been given to
man must crush him if he is not able to guide them.
It is high time to finally wake up! Man should make full use of the time and the grace accorded to
him with each earth-life. He has no idea yet of how urgent this is already. At the moment when he once
more frees his un-free will, everything that now so often seems to be against him will then serve him.
Even the radiations of the stars, feared by so many, are only there to serve him and to help him. No matter
what their nature.
And everyone is able to accomplish this regardless of how heavily karma weighs upon him. Even
when the radiations of the stars appear to be predominantly unfavorable. The effect of all this is
unfavorable only when the will is not free. But even then it only appears that way, for in reality it is only
for his benefit when he is at a loss to help himself. It forces him to defend himself, to awaken and to be on
the alert.
Fear of the radiations of the stars is quite out of place, however, because the reactions they call forth
are always and only linked up with the threads of karma attached to the person concerned. The radiations
of the stars are merely channels into which is drawn all the karma hanging about a person at that time, in
so far as the karma is homogeneous to the existing radiations. If the radiations of the stars are
unfavorable, then only a person’s impending unfavorable karma will fit itself into these channels, exactly
as it corresponds to the nature of the radiations, and nothing else. It is the same with favorable radiations.
Channeled in such a more concentrated way karma can have a much more perceptible effect on an
individual. However, where there is no bad karma outstanding, even unfavorable radiations of the stars
cannot have bad effects. One cannot be separated from the other. Here again the great Love of the Creator
is recognized. The stars control or direct the effects of karma. Therefore bad karma cannot manifest
without interruptions or without allowing for breathing space in between, because the stars send out their
radiations alternately, for evil karma cannot take effect at times of favorable radiations! It must then cease
and wait until unfavorable radiations again set in; therefore it cannot easily oppress a man completely. If,
apart from the evil karma, a man has no good karma which could manifest when the radiations of the stars
are favorable, then at least the favorable radiations would give him some respite from his suffering during
the time they are active.
So, here too, one wheel of the events gears into the other. In strict consistency one follows the other
along, simultaneously controlling it, so that there can be no irregularities. And so it continues, as in a
gigantic mechanism. On every side the teeth of the wheels gear sharply and exactly into each other,
moving everything onward, driving it forward in its development.
In the midst of all this stands man, with the immeasurable power entrusted to him to direct this
mighty mechanism through his volition. But always only for himself! It can lead him upward or
downward. The direction he sets alone is decisive for the outcome.
But the machinery of Creation does not consist of rigid substance, but is entirely composed of living
forms and beings that through cooperation create a much greater impression. The whole wonderful
weaving, however, has the sole purpose of helping man, of serving him, so long as he does not obstruct it
by childishly squandering and misusing the power given to him. It is time man adapted himself in a
different way in order to become what he should be! In reality obedience means nothing more than to
understand. To serve is to help. And to help means to rule. Within a short period every man can make his
will free, as it should be. In so doing, everything will change for him, because he himself has first
changed inwardly.
But for thousands, for hundreds of thousands, indeed for millions, it will be too late because they do
not wish it otherwise. It is only natural that the misdirected power must destroy the machine which it
would otherwise have served in the performance of its highly beneficial work. And when everything breaks down all those who hesitated will suddenly remember prayer, but they
will be unable to find the right way to pray, which alone can bring them help. When they recognize their
failure they will, in desperation, quickly turn to cursing and will claim accusingly that there can be no
God if He permits such things to happen. They will neither believe in inexorable justice, nor in the fact
that they were given the power to change everything in time. And that they were told of this often enough.
With childish obstinacy they demand for themselves a loving God as they want Him to be, a God
Who forgives everything. It is the only way in which they are willing to recognize His greatness! How,
according to their idea, should this God deal with those who have always sought Him seriously, but were,
precisely on account of their seeking, stepped on, scorned and persecuted by those who now expect
forgiveness?
Fools who in their continual deliberate blindness and deafness rush headlong into their destruction,
who diligently create their own doom. Let them be abandoned to the darkness, towards which they
stubbornly strive in their know-it-all attitude. Only through their own experiences can they still come to
their senses. Therefore the Darkness will be their best school. But there will come a day and an hour when
this way will also be too late, because there will not be time enough left, after they have finally come to a
recognition through their experiences, to tear themselves from darkness and ascend. For this reason it is
high time to seriously concern yourself with the Truth.

tempest, to sweep him upward to the Light, to God, Who Himself is Love. As soon as pure love stirs
within a man, no matter what the impulse, he obtains the most direct connection with God, the Primordial
Source of all Love, and thus he receives the strongest help. But should a man possess all things and have
no love, he would be but sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal, without warmth, without life... nothing!
However, if he does find true love for any one of his fellow men, a love which strives only to bring
light and joy to the beloved one, not to drag him down through improper desires, but a love that protects
and uplifts him, then he serves the other without being aware of the act of serving. Through this he be-
comes more of an unselfish giver, and this serving sets him free!
Here, many will say to themselves: That is exactly what I do or, at least, what I am striving to do!
Using all the means in my power I try to make life on earth easy for my wife or family, offering them
pleasures while I exert myself to obtain sufficient resources to enable them to lead a comfortable and
agreeable life, free from all care. Thousands will thump their chest, feel uplifted and imagine that they are
undeniably good and noble. But they err! That is not living love! Living love is not so one-sidedly
material, but simultaneously urges much more strongly towards that which is high, noble and ideal.
Certainly no one can forget earthly necessities with impunity, i.e., without detriment. He should not
disregard them, but at the same time, they must not become the principal aim of his thoughts and actions.
Hovering above all this, great and strong, is the desire, so mysterious to many, to actually be that which
they are considered to be in the eyes of those who love them! With this desire they are on the right path,
which will only lead upwards.
Genuine pure love needs no further explanation. Everyone feels exactly what its nature is. Man often
tries to deceive himself about it on seeing his mistakes and realizing how far away he really is from
loving truly and purely. But he must then pull himself together, he may not hesitate or stop and finally
give up, for without genuine love there can no longer be any free will for him!
How many opportunities thus offered to men to pull themselves together and swing upwards are left
unused. The lamenting and seeking of the majority are therefore not genuine! They simply do not want to
be bothered if it means that they themselves must contribute something, be it but a slight re-arrangement
of their habits and views. To a great extent it is falsehood and self-deception! God should come to them
and lift them upwards to Him without their having to give up their precious comfort and self-worship. At
best, they might then condescend to go along, but not without expecting special thanks from God for so
doing.
Let these drones walk their paths to destruction! They are not worthy of anyone’s efforts on their
behalf. Over and over again they will pass by opportunities presented to them while lamenting and
praying. If ever such a person does grasp an opportunity, he would surely rob it of its most noble
adornment of purity and unselfishness in order to drag this precious treasure into the mire of passion.
Those who seek and those who know should finally make up their minds to avoid such people! They
should not think that they are doing God-pleasing work when they persist in offering His Word and His
Holy Will so cheaply by attempted lecturing, so that it almost appears as if the Creator were forced, with
the help of His faithful, to go begging in order to extend the circle of adherents. It is defilement to offer
His Word to such as would grasp it with unclean hands. The saying should not be forgotten which forbids
“casting pearls before swine.”
And that is what it amounts to in such cases. It is an unnecessary waste of time, time that may no
longer be wasted to such a degree without ultimately causing harmful reactions. Help should be given
only to those who seek.
The increasing restlessness felt by many people, and the searching and seeking for the whereabouts
of the free will, are perfectly justified, and a sign that it is high time to set about it. This feeling is
strengthened by an unconscious premonition that there may come a time when it is too late. That is what
keeps seeking constantly active at the present time. But for the greater part it is in vain. The majority of
people of the present day can no longer make use of their free will because they have entangled
themselves too gravely!
They have sold and bartered it away... for nothing!
However they cannot hold God responsible for this, although they continually try to do so through all
kinds of interpretations by which they erase from their minds all thought of the personal responsibility awaiting them, but they must indict themselves. Even if this self-indictment was imbued with the greatest
bitterness and the deepest pain, it could not be severe enough to counterbalance, even in a small measure,
the value of the lost gift which has been senselessly suppressed or squandered.
Yet, in spite of this, man can still find the way to regain what he lost as soon as he seriously exerts
himself. Always provided, of course, that the wish to do so comes from deep within. As long as this wish
is really alive in him and never weakens. He must carry the greatest longing for it. And should he need to
spend his whole life on its pursuit, he could only benefit, for it is an urgent necessity for mankind to
regain their free will! Instead of regain we could also say dig out or wash free. It is basically the exact
same thing.
As long as man only thinks and ponders on the subject, however, he will attain nothing. Here, the
greatest efforts and perseverance must fail him, because thinking and pondering will never take him
beyond the limits of time and space, which is where the solution lies. And since at present, thinking and
pondering are considered as the main path to all research, there is no prospect of any progress, apart from
mere earthly matters. Unless indeed, men would fundamentally change in this respect.
Make use of your time on earth! Remember the great turning-point which always entails full
responsibility!
For this reason a child is spiritually still under age, because the union between the spiritual and the
material has not yet been established through the generative power. Not until the moment when this
power sets in will its intuitive perceptions be sufficiently strong to incisively penetrate the entire World of
Matter, reforming and transforming it, thereby automatically taking on full and complete responsibility.
Previous to this the reciprocal action is not so strong either, because the intuitive faculty is much weaker.
Therefore in the first incarnation *(Entering of man into an earthly existence) the entrance of man into life on
earth, karma cannot be so powerful, but at the most it could influence the circumstances into which a
child is born, so that these can help the spirit in its earth-life to redeem its karma by recognizing the
qualities it possesses. The attraction of homogeneous species would play an important role in this. But all
these influences would be rather weak. The actual powerful and incisive karma only sets in when the
generative power unites with the spiritual power in man, whereby he not only becomes of full value in the
World of Matter, but can far surpass the material in every respect if he adapts himself accordingly.
Until then darkness and evil are unable to approach the human being directly. A child is protected
against this by the gap which exists between itself and the material world. It stands as if separate. The
bridge is missing.
Many readers will now more readily understand why children enjoy much greater protection from
evil; which is even proverbial. However, on the same path which forms the bridge for the entering
generative power, and over which a human being in his full power can stride forth to do battle, naturally
everything else can also approach him, unless he is on his guard. But in no case can this happen until he
possesses the necessary means of defense. Imbalance, which could serve as an excuse, does not exist, not
even for one moment.
This enormously increases the responsibility of parents! Woe unto those parents who through
misplaced ridicule or a wrong education, if not even by bad example, which also includes all sorts of
overly ambitious desires, rob their children of the opportunity to rid themselves of their karma and to
ascend. As it is, the temptations of life on earth lure men hither and thither. And since their actual position
of power is not explained to them, adolescent youth use it too little or not at all, or they squander it in the
most irresponsible manner, or even put it to improper or evil use.
Thus their karma, inevitable because of their ignorance, grows ever greater, projects its radiatiations
through some propensity or other to influence decisions in advance, thereby limiting actual free will so
that it is no longer free. That is why the majority of people today can no longer make use of their free
will. They have bound, chained and enslaved themselves through their own fault. How childish and
unworthy men show themselves to be when they try to reject the thought of an absolute responsibility,
preferring to accuse the Creator of injustice! How ridiculous it sounds to pretend that they never really
possessed free will, but are guided, pushed, polished and molded without being able to do anything about
it.
If they could but realize for a moment what a pitiable role they actually play with such behavior.

Any Religious Narrative Without Bible Citation Is Trash!

50percent of the message makes reference to the Bible. it's just a mix of Bible and science to make everything appear logical

soul which serve as strong admonitions are dragged down to a level people can better understand, thus to
something “more real” and matter-of-fact, which, with their one-sided intellectual mind, they consider to
be better suited to man and to be the only normal state of affairs.
In spite of this there are many out-and-out materialists who during this period of their lives have
perceived these same serious warnings, and who now and then enjoy speaking of the golden days of their
first love with a slight tinge of sentimentality, even melancholy, thus unconsciously expressing a certain
sadness at having lost something they cannot define more closely. And indeed, they are all correct in this
respect! The most precious thing has been taken away from them, or they themselves carelessly threw it
away when, in the dull routine of every-day work, or under the ridicule of their so-called “friends” or by
reading bad books or through bad examples, they timidly buried the treasure, the radiance of which still
shines forth from time to time later on in life and, for a moment, makes their unsatisfied heart beat faster,
with an inexplicable, mysterious feeling of sadness and longing.
Even if these sentiments are always quickly pushed away and laughed at in harsh self-contempt, they
still bear witness to the existence of this treasure and fortunately there are but few who can claim that they
never had such sentiments. Such men would indeed only deserve pity, for they have never really lived.
But even such depraved ones, or let us rather call them pitiable ones, intuitively sense a longing when
they have an opportunity to meet a person who makes use of this impetus with the right attitude, through
which he has become pure and has attained a high level of inner maturity already on earth. However, in
most cases, the first effect of such a longing in these people is the involuntary recognition of their own
baseness and negligence which then turns into hatred and may escalate into blind rage. It often happens
that a man whose soul has attained to an exceptionally high degree of maturity attracts the hatred of the
masses without himself having given them any outwardly visible cause. The masses then know nothing
better than to cry: “Crucify him, Crucify him!” For this reason there is such a long series of martyrs in the
history of mankind.
The real cause is the violent grief at seeing something precious in others which they themselves have
lost. Such grief they can only see as hatred. When people who have more inner warmth, and who have
only been kept down or dragged in the mud by the bad example of others, meet a person of high inner
maturity, the longing for something they have not attained themselves will often manifest as an
unbounded love and veneration. Wherever such a man goes there will always only be either for or against
him, but indifference towards him is impossible.
The mysteriously radiating charm of an unspoiled maiden or youth is nothing but the pure upsurge of
the awakening generative power which, united with spiritual power, strives for what is highest and
noblest, and is intuitively perceived by their environment through the strong vibrations emanating from it!
With careful forethought, the Creator provided that this awakening should come only at an age when man
can be fully conscious of his volition and actions. This is the time when, in conjunction with the full
power now resting in him, he can and should easily shake off all that lies in the past. It will even fall away
of itself, if man only keeps his volition for the good, which he is being unceasingly urged to do during
this time. Then, as the intuitive perceptions quite rightly intimate, he could rise without any effort to that
level to which he as a human being belongs! Behold the dreaminess of unspoiled youth! It is but the
perception of this upliftment, the wish to pull free from all baseness, the ardent longing for the ideal.
Their uneasy restlessness, however, is the signal not to waste time, but to energetically cast off karma and
start on their spiritual ascent.
That is why the earth has such great significance, why it is the great turning point for mankind!
How glorious it is to stand in this concentrated power, to work in it and with it! As long as the
direction man chooses remains a good one. But there is nothing more wretched than to one-sidedly
dissipate these powers in blind sensual orgies, thereby paralyzing one's spirit and depriving it of a great
part of the impetus it so urgently needs to advance upwards.
And yet, in most cases man fails to profit from this precious period of transition, and allows himself
to be led by “knowing ones” in his environment onto false paths which hold him down, and unfortunately
too often lead him downwards. Consequently he is unable to throw off the tarnishing vibrations clinging
to him; which on the contrary only attract reinforcement, and he will entangle his free more and more
until he can no longer recognize it. This is what happens with the first incarnation on earth. In later incarnations which become
necessary, man brings a much heavier karma with him. Nevertheless the possibility of shaking it off is
given each time again and no karma could be stronger than a human spirit reaching its full strength as
soon as it receives, through the generative power, complete connection with the World of Matter, to
which karma indeed belongs.
But even if man fails to make use of these periods to cast off his karma and thereby regain his free
will, and even if he has further entangled himself, or perhaps even sunk deeply, a powerful ally is offered
to help him combat his karma and to ascend. It is the greatest conqueror in existence that is able to
overcome anything. The wisdom of the Creator has ordained that the times mentioned above are not the
only ones in the World of Matter in which mankind may find the possibility of quick help, in which he is
able to discover himself and his true worth, for which he even receives an exceptionally strong impetus,
so as to draw his attention to it.
This magical power which is at everyone’s disposal throughout his whole life on earth, in constant
readiness to help, which also originates from the same union of generative power with the spiritual power,
and which can liberate from all karma, is love! It is not the demanding love of the material world, but the
high pure love which knows and desires nothing but the welfare of the beloved one and which never
thinks of itself. This love also belongs to material Creation, and it demands no renunciation, no
asceticism, but only wishes what is best for the other, fears for him, suffers with him, but also shares in
his joy.
The basis of this love is similar to the idealistic intuitive longing of unspoiled youth when its
generative power sets in it also spurs on the responsible, i.e. the mature human being, to the full powers of
all his abilities, even to heroism, so that energies for work and fight are stretched to their fullest extent. In
this, age presents no limit! As soon as a human being opens his heart to pure love, be it a man’s love for a
woman or vice versa, or the love for a friend, for parents or children, it is all the same, if only it is pure it
will bring as its first gift the opportunity to cast off all karma, which will then only be redeemed
“symbolically” *(Lecture No. 37: Symbolism in the fate of man), so that the free and conscious will, which can
only strive upwards, may blossom forth. As a natural consequence ascent will then begin, that is,
redemption from the unworthy fetters that hold him down.
The first intuitive feeling which stirs the heart at the awakening of pure love is thinking oneself
unworthy of the beloved one. This can be described in other words as the dawning of modesty and
humility, thus the acquisition of two great virtues. With this comes the desire to protect the other so that
no possible harm could come to him from any direction, and so that his way should lead over flowery,
sunny paths. This desire “bear the other on one’s hands” is no empty saying, but marks the rising intuitive
perception quite rightly. Inherent in this is the surrendering of one’s personality, a strong desire to serve,
which alone could suffice to cast off all karma in a short time, provided the volition endures and does not
give way to mere sensual instincts. Finally, with pure love comes the ardent desire to do something really
great and noble for the beloved one, not to offend or hurt him even by a glance, a thought or a word,
much less by an unworthy action. The most delicate respect comes alive.
The important thing is to hold fast to these pure intuitive sentiments and to place them above all else.
Then no one will ever desire or do anything bad. They will simply be incapable of it,rather they will enjoy
the best protection, the greatest power, and the most benign helper and counselor.
That is why Christ refers again and again to the omnipotence of love! Love alone can overcome and
accomplish all things. Always provided, however, that it is not the earthly demanding love, which harbors
jealousy and kindred evils.
With this the Creator in His Wisdom has thrown a lifebuoy into Creation, with which every
individual comes into contact more than once during his life on earth, so that he may grasp it and swing
himself upwards!
This help is there for all. No distinctions are made, either in age or sex, between rich or poor, high or
low. Therefore, love is the greatest of God’s gifts. He who grasps it can be certain of salvation from every
tribulation, regardless of how deep he may have fallen! He frees himself and thus quickly and easily
regains an undimmed free will, which leads him upwards.
And even if he had fallen to such a depth as to make him despair, love is able, with the force of a tempest.
