Spiritsm! Mediumship! A hot battle rages over them, for and against. It is not my task to say anything
about its opponents and their eager denials. That would be a waste of time, for every logical thinker needs
only to read of the way the so-called research and investigations are carried out to realize the complete
ignorance and definite incapacity of these “investigators.” Why? If I want to investigate the earth, I must
adapt myself to its nature. If, on the contrary, I wish to explore the sea, I have no choice but to adapt
myself to the nature of water and to use the appropriate aids. To tackle water with spade and shovel or
with drilling machines would not get me far in my investigations. Or should I perhaps deny the existence
of water because my spade passes right through it, contrary to what happens when I place it in the more
familiar solid earth? Or because I cannot walk upon water as I do upon solid earth? Opponents will
declare: But that is different, for I can both see and feel that water exists, and nobody can deny it!
How long ago was it that man energetically denied the existence of myriads of colorful organisms in
a drop of water, whose existence is now known to every child? And why was their existence denied?
Only because man could not see them! It was not until an instrument adapted to their nature had been
invented that man could recognize, see and observe this new world.
The same applies to the non-material World, the so-called beyond! First become seeing! Then you
may permit yourself to judge! It is up to you, not up to the “other world.” Apart from your physical body
you also have the substance of the other world within you, while those in the beyond no longer possess
your gross material substance. You demand and expect that those in the beyond, who no longer have
gross matter at their disposal, should approach you (give signs, etc.). You wait for them to prove their
existence to you, who have at your disposal the substance of the beyond as well as your physical
substance, while you yourself sit waiting with the gestures of a judge.
You build the bridge which you can build, at long last work with the same substance that you too
have at your command, and learn to become seeing thereby! Or keep silent if you cannot manage this, and
continue to nourish what is of gross matter, and which weighs upon ethereal substance more and more
heavily. The day will come when the ethereal must separate itself from the gross-material, and then it will
lie exhausted, because it is no longer accustomed to flight; for all this is subject to the physical laws, just
as the physical body is. Only movement brings strength! You do not need mediums in order to perceive
ethereal substance. Just observe the life of the ethereal part within you. Give it what it needs to grow
strong through your will. Or would you also dispute the existence of your will because you can neither
see nor touch it?
How often do you feel the effects of your will within yourselves. You sense them, but you can
neither see nor touch them. Be it exaltation, joy or sorrow, anger or envy. If the will is to be effective it
must possess the power to create a pressure, for without pressure there can be no effect, no sensing. And
where there is pressure something solid of the same substance must be active, otherwise no pressure could
result.
Thus there must be solid forms of a substance that you can neither see nor touch with your physical
body. And such is the substance of the beyond, which you can only perceive by means of the
homogeneous substance also inherent in you.
The battle for and against life after physical death is strange, often even verging on the ludicrous. He
who is able to reflect and observe calmly, without prejudice and self-desires, will soon find that
everything, positively everything, speaks for the probability of an existing world of a different substance
which the average person of today is unable to see. There are so many occurrences which keep reminding
us of this fact and which cannot simply be pushed aside heedlessly as non-existing. On the other hand, the
only thing in favor of an absolute cessation of life after physical death is the desire of many persons who
would thereby like to evade every spiritual responsibility in which neither cleverness nor cunning, but
only genuine intuition is weighed. —
But to turn to the adherents of spiritism, spiritualism, etc., or whatever name they choose to give it, in
the end they all suffer from the same thing, great errors!
The adherents are often more dangerous and harmful to the truth than the adversaries!There are only a few among the millions who want to be told the truth. Most of them are entangled in
a huge web of small errors, which hinders them from finding the path to the plain truth. Where does the
blame lie? With the beyond perhaps? No! Or with the mediums? No, not there either! Only with the
individual himself! He is not severe and stern enough with himself, does not want to throw over his
preconceived opinions, and shrinks from destroying the self-constructed picture of the beyond which has
long filled him with pious shivers and a certain feeling of well-being, though in fact this only exists in his
imagination. And woe to him who would dare to touch upon this! Every adherent has a stone ready to
throw at him! He clings firmly to his opinions and is quite prepared to call those in the beyond lying or
teasing spirits, or to charge the mediums with deficiency, rather than to calmly examine himself and
reflect whether his conception may have been wrong.
Where, then, should I begin to root out the many weeds? It would be work without end. Therefore let
what I say here be only for those who are really seriously seeking, for only such shall find.
Here is an example: A man visits a medium, whether one of note or not is of no importance! There
are others with him. A “séance” begins. The medium “fails”. Nothing happens. What are the
consequences? Some say: The medium is no good. Others declare: All spiritism amounts to nothing.
Investigators boastfully assert: “The frequently tested mediumistic qualities of the medium were all a
swindle, for as soon as we come the medium does not dare to do anything. And the ‘spirits’ are silent!”
Believers and those who are convinced, however, go away depressed. The reputation of the medium,
however, suffers and, if there are repeated “failures” it is ruined. If the medium has a sort of manager and
money is charged, the manager will nervously urge the medium to make greater efforts when people pay
money for it, etc. In short: there will be doubt, derision and discontent and, in a new attempt, the medium
will make desperate efforts to get into a trance and, in a sort of nervous self-delusion, perhaps
unconsciously say something he imagines he has heard, or simply resort to direct deception which, in fact,
is not very difficult for a speaking medium. The verdict: It is all a swindle and a denial of spiritism
altogether because some mediums, due to the circumstances mentioned above, may have resorted to
deception to avoid increasing animosity. Here are a few questions:
1. Is there any class of society where no swindlers are to be found? Does one in other cases
immediately condemn the ability of honest workers on account of a few swindlers?
2. Why just in these matters and actually nowhere else?
Everyone can easily answer these questions for himself.
But who is principally to blame for such unworthy conditions? Not the medium, but most certainly
the people themselves! Through their extremely one-sided views, and particularly through their utter
ignorance, they force the medium to choose between suffering unjust attacks and practicing deception.
Mankind does not easily leave a middle course open to a medium.
I am speaking here only of a medium who can be taken seriously, not of the numerous would-be
mediums who try to push their insignificant abilities into the foreground. It is also far from my thoughts
to advocate in any way for the great number of followers of mediums because the spiritists who throng
round mediums have real value only in very rare cases, with the exception of serious investigators who
approach this unexplored region in order to learn and not to ignorantly pass judgment. To the greater
number of the so-called believers these visits or “séances” bring no progress, but rather standstill or
retrogression. They become so dependent that they cannot make any decisions on their own, but always
want to get the advice of “those in the beyond”. Often about the most ridiculous things, and mostly for
earthly trivialities.
A serious investigator or an honest seeker will always be indignant at the incredible narrow-
mindedness of those who for years have been constant visitors to mediums, with whom they feel quite “at
home.” With an air of exceeding cleverness and superiority they talk the greatest nonsense and sit with
hypocritical devotion enjoying the pleasant thrill that contact with invisible forces brings to their
imagination. Many mediums bask in the flattering talk of such regular visitors who, in reality, are only
expressing their selfish wish to “experience” as much as possible themselves. The “experiencing” in their
case, however, is only the same as hearing or seeing, in other words, being entertained. Nothing ever
becomes “real experience” within them.
What should a serious person take into consideration in such matters?1. The fact that a medium can contribute nothing whatever to ensure “success” apart from inwardly
opening himself, i.e., to surrender himself, and otherwise to waiting, a medium is a tool that is used, an
instrument which of itself cannot give forth any sound until it is played. Therefore there can be no
question of failure. He who talks in this way only shows narrow-mindedness, and he should keep his
hands off. Nor should he express any opinion because he cannot judge in the matter; just as he who finds
learning arduous should avoid the university. A medium, then, is simply a bridge or a means to an end.
2. The fact that it is the visitors who play a great role in this! Not by their outward or even social
standing, but by their inner life! The inner life is a world of itself as even the greatest scoffers realize.
Naturally, it cannot be “nothing” with all its intuitions, its generative and nurturing thoughts, but there
must logically be ethereal bodies or things which through pressure or influence awaken intuitive feelings,
which could not arise otherwise. Neither could pictures be seen in spirit where there is nothing. Just such
a conception would mean the greatest gap in the laws of the exact sciences. Thus, something must be
there, and something is there, for the generative thought immediately creates in the Ethereal World
corresponding forms, the density and vitality of which depend on the intuitive power of the generative
thoughts concerned. Therefore what is called the “inner life” of a man produces a corresponding
ethereally homogeneous environment around him.
And it is this environment which must affect a medium, who is more strongly attuned to the Ethereal
World, either in a pleasant or disagreeable, or even painful, way. Thus it may happen that genuine
messages from the Ethereal World are not transmitted quite so purely if the medium is hindered,
oppressed or confused by the presence of people who have an ethereally or spiritually impure inner life.
But it goes further still. This impurity constitutes a barrier to purer ethereal matter, even if this is guided
by a personal spirit, a will that is free also in the ethereal world, so that no message can be transmitted
save one of an equally impure ethereal nature.
Of course, in the case of visitors who have a pure inner life, contact with a correspondingly pure
ethereal environment is possible. Everything different, however, forms an unbridgeable gap! That is why
such differences exist in the so-called séances, why there is frequent complete failure or confusion. This
all rests on immutable, purely physical laws which operate in the beyond in exactly the same way as they
do in this world.
This puts the disparaging reports of “investigators” in a different light. And he who is able to observe
the ethereal happenings must smile at many an investigator who, in his report, pronounces judgment on
himself, exposes his own inner life and only reproves the state of his own soul.
Here is a second example: A man visits a medium. It happens that a departed relative speaks to him
through the medium. He asks his advice perhaps on quite an important earthly matter. The departed one
gives him a few directions which the visitor looks upon as gospel truth, as a revelation from the beyond,
which he obeys minutely, with the result... that he is taken in and often suffers heavy damage.
What is the result? The visitor will first of all have doubts about the medium, in his disappointment
and perhaps annoyance at his loss he may work against the medium, in some cases he will even feel
obliged to proceed publicly against him in order to save others from similar loss and deception. (In
connection with this I should now explain life in the beyond, how by doing this such a person opens
himself to similar ethereal currents through the attraction of what is spiritually homogeneous, and how, as
a tool of such counter-currents, he may then develop into a fanatic in the proud consciousness of standing
up for the truth, thereby rendering a great service to mankind, while in reality, however, he makes himself
a slave to impurity and burdens himself with karma which it will take a lifetime and more to redeem, and
from which new threads will continue to emerge, weaving a net in which he will entangle himself, until
finally he no longer knows which way to turn and, in his antagonism, rages on more fiercely.)
Or, if the disappointed visitor does not regard the medium as a swindler, he will at least have grave
doubts about the entire beyond, or may take the usual easy road as thousands do, and say to himself:
“What concern of mine is the other world. Let others rack their brains about it. I have better things to do.”
The “better things” however, are things that serve the physical body by making money and thus
withdrawing still further from ethereal things. Where, then, does the actual blame lie? Again only with
man himself! He had formed a false picture when he accepted what was said as gospel truth. That was his
fault alone, nobody else was to blame. He assumed that a departed spirit, by virtue of its ethereal nature,
became at the same time partly omniscient, or at least possessed greater knowledge. Many hundreds of thousands make this mistake. The only additional knowledge that a departed being possesses following
his transformation is that he has not really ceased to exist after so-called death.
But that is all, so long as he makes no use of the opportunity to advance in the Ethereal World, which
also depends on his own free decision. Therefore, when he is questioned about worldly matters, he will
give his opinion with the good intention of fulfilling the wish of the questioner, convinced that he is
giving the best advice, while he himself is not conscious of the fact that he is in no position to judge
material matters and conditions as clearly as a man still living there in flesh and blood, because he lacks
the gross material substance which is absolutely necessary to form a proper judgment. His view of the
matter, therefore, must be quite a different one. Still he gives what he can and, with the best intention, the
best he knows. Thus neither he nor the medium can be blamed. Nor is he a lying spirit, as in fact we
should only distinguish between knowing and unknowing spirits, for as soon as a spirit sinks, i.e.,
becomes more impure and dense, his perspective simultaneously and automatically narrows. He gives and
expresses only what he feels: he lives only with his intuition, not with his calculating intellect, which he
no longer possesses, since this was bound to his earthly brain and thereby limited to space and time. As
soon as that fell away at death, there was no more thinking and reflecting for him, but solely intuitive
perception, direct and continual experiencing!
The fault lies with those who still seek advice in earthly matters bound to space and time from those
who no longer have this restriction and can therefore not understand it.
Although those in the beyond are in a position to discern what is the right or the wrong course in any
matter, it is up to man to weigh and consider with his earthly tools, i.e., with his intellect, and experience
how best to follow the right course. He must bring it into accord with earthly possibilities! That is his
work.
Even when a spirit who has fallen deeply gets the opportunity of influencing and speaking, nobody
can say that he lies or tries to mislead, for he only transmits what he lives and tries to convince others of it
as well. He cannot give anything else.
Thus there are innumerable errors in the conceptions of spiritists.
“Spiritism” has come into great disrepute, not of itself, but through the majority of its adherents, who
after only a few and often very meager results, enthusiastically imagine that the veil has been drawn aside
for them, at which time they eagerly try to regale others with a picture of ethereal life which they made up
themselves, which was created by an unbridled imagination, and which, above all, completely meets their
own desires. Such pictures, however, seldom conform to the Truth!

What is life? To meditate daily and develop hidden capabilities, also known as the so called occult.
Without spiritual practices, the soul dies eventually.
For meditation nourishes the soul as food nourishes the body. Light serves as food to the soul.

Whoever discourages you from acquiring spiritual gifts hates you and should be considered an enemy.

Gbamsolutely!!!

This question must be answered with a definite “no”. Occult training, which generally includes exercises
for the attainment of clairvoyance, clairaudience, etc., is a hindrance to free development and to real
spiritual ascent. As long as the training is fairly successful it results in what in former times was described
as magicians.
It is a process of one-sided groping forward from below upwards, whereby the so-called earth-bound
limits can never be crossed. All the phenomena likely to be achieved in such conditions will always be of
a lower and most inferior order, which cannot actually uplift a man inwardly, but may well lead him
astray.
Through these efforts man is only able to penetrate into his immediate, more ethereal environment,
where the entities are often more ignorant than man on earth himself. All that he accomplishes in this way
is that he opens himself to unknown dangers, from which simply not opening himself would have
protected him.
One who has become clairvoyant or clairaudient through training will often see or hear things on this
low plane which have the appearance of being lofty and pure, yet are far from it. In addition there is his
own imagination which, even more stimulated by his training, also creates an environment that the
student then actually sees and hears, with confusion as a result. A man thus artificially trained stands
insecurely on his feet, cannot discriminate nor, with the best will, can he draw a sharp line between truth
and deception or between the thousand-fold ways in which the formative power works in ethereal life.
Finally there are the base and, for him, decidedly harmful influences to which he opened himself
voluntarily and with much effort and which he cannot oppose with a higher power, and thus he soon
becomes a rudderless wreck on an unknown sea, which may become a danger to everything that comes
into contact with it.
It is exactly the same as with a person who cannot swim. He is quite capable of sailing in perfect
safety over the unfamiliar element in a boat. This can be compared to earthly life. However, if during the
voyage he removes one of the planks, then he tears a hole in his boat through which the water will enter,
depriving him of his protection and pulling him down. This man, unable to swim, will become a victim of
the unfamiliar element.
Such is the process in occult training. Man only removes a plank from his protecting boat, but does
not learn to swim!
There are also swimmers, however, who call themselves experts. Such swimmers already possess a
certain talent, which with some training they continually develop further in order to make it more
effective. In such cases more or less natural talent will be combined with artificial training. However,
even the best swimmer is confined within rather narrow limits. Should he venture too far his strength will
give out, and he will finally be just as lost as a non-swimmer unless... help comes to them both.
In the Ethereal World such help can only come from the Luminous Heights, from the pure spiritual
realm. And this help in turn can only approach if the one in danger has reached a certain degree of purity
in his soul’s development which will provide a firm hold. Such purity cannot be obtained through
experimental occult exercises, but only through raising the level of true inner integrity by constantly
looking upwards to the purity of the Light.
If a man has followed this path it will in time bring him a certain measure of purity and will naturally
be reflected in his thoughts, words and deeds, so that by degrees, he will obtain a connection with purer
heights from which, through reciprocal actions, he will also receive increased strength. In this way,
throughout all the intermediary steps, he then has a connection which will hold him and to which he can
cling. It will not be long before he is given, without any effort on his part, everything that the swimmer
tried to achieve in vain. But it is given with the care and caution inherent in the inexorable Laws of
Reciprocal Action, so that he gets only as much of it as his own strength can counterbalance, whereby all
danger is removed from the outset. Finally the separating barrier, which may be compared to the planks of
a boat, becomes thinner and thinner, and finally falls away altogether. That then is the moment when, in
the same way as a fish is at home in water, he himself will feel quite at home in the Ethereal World right
up to the Luminous Heights. That alone is the right way. All premature results achieved by artificial exercises are wrong. Only to the fish in water is water truly without danger, because that is “its element”,
for which it has been properly equipped in a way which even a trained swimmer can never attain.
When a man undertakes this training, it is preceded by a voluntary decision, to the consequences of
which he is then subjected. Therefore he cannot expect that help must be given him. He had the freedom
to decide beforehand.
However, a man who induces others to take up such training, who consequently are exposed to all
sorts of dangers, must take a great part of the consequences of the guilt of each individual upon his own
shoulders. He will become ethereally chained to them all. After laying aside his physical body he must
irrevocably descend to those who have departed before him, to those who have succumbed to the dangers,
right down to him who sank lowest of all. He himself is unable to ascend until he has helped every single
one to rise again, until their wrong path has been obliterated and everything neglected through such
training has been made up. Such is the balance brought about by reciprocal action and, at the same time it
is the way of mercy by which he can right the wrong and ascend.
If such a man has influenced others not only through speech but also through the written word, he
will be affected even more severely, because the writings go on doing harm even after his earthly death.
He must then wait in the Ethereal World till the last person he has led astray through the written word and
whom he is obliged to help onto the right path has crossed over. Centuries may elapse in this process.
However, this does not mean that the field of the Ethereal World should remain untouched and
unexplored during life on earth!
At the appropriate hour it will be given to those who are inwardly matured to feel at home where
others would still be in danger. They will be permitted to see the Truth and pass it on. However, at the
same time, they will also be able to clearly survey the dangers which threaten those who, by means of
occult training, wish to penetrate one-sidedly into the lower spheres of unknown regions. They will never
advocate occult training.

Continuation from last lecture
Reshapes him and in this process cuts the threads of fate that would otherwise still have impacted him. Through
their severance or falling away the threads spring back like stretched elastic to homogeneous ethereal
centers, henceforth they are only pulled unilaterally by the power of attraction. Thereby all further
influence on the reformed human being is impossible, because the connecting link is missing.
Thus, if a person will freely and willingly take upon himself some duty towards another out of love,
or out of a compassion akin to love, there are thousands of ways of achieving redemption in this manner.
In His parables Jesus has given the best examples. In the Sermon on the Mount and in all His other
sayings He also clearly pointed out the good results of such practices. In so doing He always spoke of
“thy neighbor”, thus pointing out the best way towards redemption of karma and towards the simplest and
most true-to-life form of ascent. “Love thy neighbor as thyself” He admonished, thus giving the key to the
gate leading to all ascent. It need not always involve a case of illness. The necessary care and education of
children offer in the most natural way so many opportunities that they embrace in themselves all
possibilities for the redemption of karma. For this reason children are a blessing, no matter how they are
born and developed!
What applies to parents applies equally to siblings and to all who have frequent contact with children.
They also have opportunities to benefit through the new earth dweller, in that they bestir themselves, be it
only by casting aside bad habits, by practicing patience and by providing diligent help in different ways.
The child itself, however, benefits no less. Each person, through birth, is given the possibility to
advance a great step upwards! If this does not happen it is the fault of the individual himself. He did not
want it. Therefore every birth should be regarded as a gracious and impartially distributed gift of God.
Even those who, being childless, take in someone else’s child will be no less blessed, indeed the blessing
will be all the greater on this account, provided it is done for the child's sake and not for personal
satisfaction.
Now, in an ordinary incarnation the power of attraction of what is spiritually homogeneous plays a
leading role together with and in the reciprocal action. Qualities regarded as inherited are not really
inherited, but are merely an effect of this power of attraction. Nothing spiritual is inherited from mother
or father, for the child is as distinct and complete a being as is each of the parents, it only has similar
qualities through which it felt attracted to them.
However, it is not only this power of attraction of homogeneity that is decisive in an incarnation, but
other existing threads of fate, to which the soul to be incarnated is bound, also play a part and perhaps the
threads are in some way connected with a member of the family into which the soul is led. All this plays a
role, attracts and finally causes the soul to incarnate.
The case is different where a soul volunteers to undertake a mission, either to help some particular
persons on earth or to engage in some benevolent work for all mankind. In this case the soul, of its own
free will, accepts in advance all that will affect it on earth, so that in this case too there is no question of
injustice. The soul must receive its reward as the result of reciprocal action if all is done in self-sacrificing
love which does not ask for any reward. Into families with hereditary diseases souls will be incarnated
which, through reciprocal action, need these diseases for redemption, for purification, or for
advancement.
The guiding and supporting threads do not allow for a wrong i.e. an unjust incarnation to take place.
They preclude the possibility of any error. It would be like trying to swim against a current which follows
its orderly course with iron and inexorable power, eliminating all resistance from the start, so that even an
attempt to swim against it is altogether out of the question. However, if its characteristics are precisely
respected, it will bring nothing but blessing.
Everything is taken into account also in cases of voluntary incarnations where diseases are taken on
voluntarily to attain a specific purpose. If perhaps the father or mother burdened themselves with a
disease through some guilt, be it only by ignoring the laws of Nature which require absolute respect for
the health of the body entrusted to their care, then the pain at seeing the same illness manifest in the child
would already contain atonement and would lead to purification, if the pain is genuinely felt.
There would be little point in giving specific examples, since every single birth would present a new
picture differing from the others because of the many intermingled threads of fate, and even every
homogeneity must offer thousands of variations on account of the fine gradations of the manifold reciprocal actions.
Let us give just one simple example: A mother loves her son so dearly that she resorts to all manner
of means to prevent him from marrying and leaving her. She continually chains him to herself. Such love
is wrong, purely egotistical and selfish, even if the mother, in her opinion, does everything to make her
son’s life on earth as pleasant as possible. With her selfish love she has wrongly interfered in the life of
her son. Genuine love never thinks of itself, but always of the advantage of the beloved one, and acts
accordingly, even if it involves self-sacrifice. The mother’s hour to be called away arrives. The son is left
on his own. Now, however, it is too late for him to arouse that joyful enthusiasm for the fulfillment of his
wishes, which only youth has at its command. But, in spite of everything he has made some gain, for he
redeems something through this imposed renunciation. Be it something of a homogeneous kind from a
former life, whereby he avoids inner loneliness which he would have experienced in a marriage, or it
might be something else. He can only benefit through such things. The mother, however, has taken her
selfish love with her. Therefore the power of attraction of spiritual homogeneity draws her irresistibly to
people of similar qualities, for in their vicinity she is able, through the intuitive life of such people, to
experience a small part of her own passion when they practice their selfish love towards others. Therefore
she remains earthbound. Should procreation take place with persons in whose vicinity she continually
finds herself, she will incarnate there through the link of her spiritual enchainment. But then the tables
will be turned. As a child she will now have to suffer from the same characteristic in her father or mother
as she once caused her child to suffer from. In spite of her longing to leave the parental home, and the
opportunities to do so, she cannot free herself. Her guilt will thus be atoned for, and she will be freed
from it by recognizing through personal experience that such qualities are wrong.
Through his connection with the physical body, i.e. through his incarnation, a bandage is placed
before the eyes of every human being, which prevents him from surveying his past existence. Like
everything that happens in Creation, this is also for the benefit of the person concerned. This too contains
the wisdom and love of the Creator. If everyone could precisely recall his previous existence he would
merely stand aside and remain a calm onlooker in his new life on earth, in the consciousness that by so
doing he was making progress or redeeming something, which also contains only progress. However,
instead of helping him to advance, this would expose him to the great danger of sliding downwards. Life
on earth must be really experienced if it is to have any purpose. Only that which has been inwardly lived
through in all its heights and depths i.e., that which has been experienced intuitively, becomes truly one’s
own. If a man always clearly knew from the very outset the exact course that would benefit him, there
would be no weighing and decision making for him. He could therefore acquire neither the strength nor
the independence that are absolutely necessary for him. As it is, he takes every situation of his earth-life
with greater realism. Every genuine experience leaves a firm imprint upon his intuition, upon his
immortal part which, newly fashioned by these impressions, man at his transition takes with him as his
own, as a part of himself. But only that which he has really experienced, for all else is extinguished at
physical death. That which has been experienced remains, however, as the clear extract of his earthly
existence, as his gain! Not all that has been learned has been experienced. But only that which has been
learned through experience becomes one’s own. All the remaining bulk of what has been learned, to
which many a man sacrifices his whole life, remains behind as chaff. Therefore each moment of life can
never be taken seriously enough, so that vital warmth will pulse through thoughts, words and deeds and
will prevent them from deteriorating into meaningless habits.
Through the bandage placed before its eyes at the time of its incarnation the newly-born child seems
to be completely ignorant, and is therefore often erroneously regarded as being innocent. Yet it often
brings an enormous karma which offers opportunities to release former wrong paths by living them and
fully experiencing them. In predestination, karma is merely the necessary consequence of past events.
With a mission it is voluntary acceptance of the karma for the purpose of gaining earthly understanding
and the maturity for the fulfillment of the mission, in so far as it is not part of the mission itself.
Therefore man should no longer grumble about inequity where births are concerned, but look up
gratefully to the Creator, Who only grants new mercies with every single birth!

hope you enjoyed the lecture?

When men declare that great injustice lies in the unequal circumstances into which children are born, they
do not know what they are saying!
One person tenaciously insists: “How, if justice exists, can it happen that a child is born burdened
with a hereditary disease! The innocent child must be bearing the sins of its parents jointly with them.”
Another declares: “One child is born in rich circumstances, the other in misery and bitter poverty.
Under these circumstances no belief in Justice can arise.”
Or again: “Assuming that the parents deserve punishment, it is not right that this should happen
through the illness and death of a child. The child would be suffering innocently.”
These and similar assertions circulate among men by the thousand. Even serious seekers sometimes
rack their brains over it.
The simple statement that “the inscrutable ways of God are all for the best” does not provide a
satisfactory answer to the question of “why”. To find such an answer satisfactory requires either obtuse
acquiescence or the immediate suppression of any questioning thought as being wrong.
That is not what is intended! Through questioning one finds the right way. Apathy or forced
suppression are reminiscent only of slavery. God, however, does not want slaves! He does not want
apathetic acquiescence, but a free, conscious looking upwards. His wonderful and wise arrangements do
not require to be enveloped in mystic darkness, instead they gain in their sublime, inviolable greatness
and perfection when they lie before us open and clear! Immutable and incorruptible, with even calm and
certainty, they unceasingly carry on their eternal activity. They take no heed either of man’s grumbling or
of his acknowledgement, nor do they consider his ignorance, but they return to each individual the
ripened fruits of the seeds he has sown down to the finest nuances.
“The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine” is a common saying that so aptly
describes this weaving of the inexorable reciprocal action in the whole Creation, the immutable laws of
which bear and carry out Divine Justice. It trickles, flows, streams and pours over all mankind regardless
of whether they wish it or not, whether they submit to it or rebel against it, they must accept it as just
punishment and forgiveness or as a reward when they are uplifted.
If a grumbler or a doubter were to catch even a glimpse of the ethereal surging and weaving activity,
borne and permeated by a firm Spirit, penetrating and encompassing the entire Creation in which it rests,
and which itself is part of this Creation, alive as the eternally driving Divine loom, he would instantly fall
silent and be stunned by the realization of the presumptuousness of his words. The calm sublimity and
infallibility he perceives forces him into the dust begging for forgiveness. How small he imagined his
God to be! And what sublime greatness he finds in His works. He will then realize that his highest earthly
conceptions could be no more than an attempt to belittle God and depreciate the perfection of His great
work, in his futile efforts to compress it into the narrow confines brought about by the over-cultivation of
the intellect, which can never rise above time and space. Man must never forget that he stands in the work
of God, that he himself is part of this work, and thus unconditionally subject to its laws.
The work, however, not only embraces things visible to the physical eye but also the ethereal World,
in which the greatest part of man's actual existence and activity takes place. His respective lives on earth
are only small sections of it, nevertheless they are always great turning points.
Birth on earth only forms the beginning of a special phase in a man’s entire existence, but not the
beginning of man himself.
When man as such begins his journey in Creation, he stands free, unbound by any threads of fate
which proceed into the ethereal world and on their way are continually strengthened through the power of
attraction of similar species with which they cross and interweave with, and react upon their originator,
with whom they had remained connected, thus bringing about fate, or karma. When certain threads return
at the same time their effects intermingle, with the result that the originally sharp and distinct colors of the
threads take on other shades and produce new image combinations. *(Lecture No. 6: Fate) Each thread serves
as a channel for the reactions until the originator no longer provides an anchorage for similar species in
his inner being, i.e., when he himself no longer maintains this channel in good condition. Then these threads can no longer retain a foothold, cannot attach themselves to him, and must wither and fall away,
regardless of whether they are good or evil.
Thus every thread of fate is ethereally formed through the act of will in the decision to take an action,
which travels forth, yet remains anchored in the originator, thus forming a definite path to homogeneous
species, bringing them reinforcement while at the same time receiving from them added strength which
flows back to the starting point. In this process lies the help which has been promised to those who strive
towards the good, or it contains the condition that “evil must continue to give birth to evil”. *(Lecture No.
30: Man and his free will)
The retroactive effects of these existing threads, to which he adds new ones daily, constitute the fate
every man has created for himself and to which he is subject. Any arbitrariness, and therefore any
injustice, is thus precluded. A man’s karma which appears to be one-sided predestination is, in reality, the
inevitable result of his past, in so far as it has not yet been redeemed through reciprocal action.
The actual beginning of man’s existence is always good and so also is the end for many; with the
exception of those who have become lost of their own accord, when through their decisions they first
extended their hands to evil, which then completely dragged them down into perdition. The vicissitudes in
man’s existence occur only in the interim, in the period of inner growth and maturing.
Thus man always shapes his future life himself. He provides the threads and thereby decides the color
and design of the garment which is woven for him in the loom of God through the Law of Reciprocal
Action.
The causes working to determine the conditions as well as the period in time into which a soul is born
into the physical world often lie far back, so that these conditions and the time may continually influence
the earthly pilgrimage of this particular soul and achieve what it needs for releasing, polishing, casting
off, and for further development.
This, though, does not happen in a one-sided manner for the child alone, rather the threads are woven
automatically so that the reciprocal action is also felt in the earthly surroundings. The parents give the
child just what it needs for its further development, just as vice versa the child gives to its parents, be it
good or evil, for further development and advancement it is of course necessary in this connection to
become free from an evil by personally experiencing it, whereby it will be recognized for what it is and
will be cast off. It is the reciprocal action which always brings about the opportunity for this. Without the
operation of this law man could never become really free from his past. Thus the Laws of Reciprocal
Action hold as a great gift of mercy the road to freedom or ascent. Therefore there can be no question of
any punishment. Punishment is a wrong expression, for in these laws lies the greatest love, the hand of the
Creator stretched out for forgiveness and liberation.
The coming of man to earth comprises procreation, incarnation and birth. Incarnation is the actual
entrance of the human being into earthly existence. *(Lecture No. 7: The creation of man)
A thousand-fold are the threads that co-operate to determine an incarnation. But in these happenings,
as always in Creation, the most scrupulous and absolute justice prevails and contributes to the
advancement of all concerned.
Therefore the birth of a child is far more sacred, far more important and valuable than is generally
assumed. For its entrance into the physical world holds a new and special act of grace of the Creator, not
only for the child but at the same time for its parents, even for its brothers and sisters if it has any, and for
others who come in contact with it, in that they thereby all get a further opportunity to progress in some
way. The parents may be offered an opportunity for spiritual advancement through the necessary nursing
care during an illness, through heavy worries or grief, be it as a remedy, as the simple means to some end,
the actual discharge of an old debt, or perhaps even the pre-redemption of some impending karma. It very
often happens that with the onset of a good volition, a man’s own serious illness, which according to the
law of reciprocal action was to have afflicted him as karma, will be mercifully pre-redeemed as a
consequence of his good volition, and through his voluntary decision to devote himself to the nursing of
his child or that of another. A real redemption can, of course, only ensue in the intuitive perception, in the
full experience. Genuinely loving nursing care often brings an even deeper experience than that of one’s
own illness. The experience of anxiety and pain is more intense during the illness of a child or of one who
is truly considered a beloved fellow man. Equally intense is the joy at his recovery. The deep intensity of
this experience alone firmly imprints its traces onto the intuitive sense, onto man’s spirit, it thus reshapes ....to be continued

Mr GrailMessage

People will be more inclined to read if you used spaces for your paragraphs.

It is straining to the eyes.

Then also, you can make your message short and divided into many posts on the thread.

I would love to read, but the strain on my eyes is uncomfortable.

thanks alot. I will put that into practice

any observation?

The Savior on the Cross! Crucifixes are erected by the thousands as a symbol that Christ suffered and
died for the sake of humanity. From all sides they call out to the faithful: “Remember!” In the lonely
meadow, in the bustling city streets, in quiet chambers, in churches, on graves and at wedding
celebrations, everywhere they serve to comfort, strengthen and admonish. Remember! It was because of
your sins that the Son of God came to earth, to bring you salvation that He suffered and died on the Cross.
Deeply moved the faithful approaches them, in deep veneration and filled with gratitude. With a
feeling of gladness he leaves the place, conscious that he also has been released from his sins by the
sacrificial death.
You who are earnestly seeking, however, go and stand before the sacred, solemn symbol and strive to
understand your Redeemer! Cast aside the soft cloak of convenience that keeps you so pleasantly warm
and creates a comfortable feeling of well-being and safety, allowing you to doze on till your last hour on
earth, when you will be vigorously aroused from your half-slumber, and freed from your earthly
inhibitions, you will suddenly find yourself facing the naked truth. The dream to which you clung so
persistently, and in which you surrendered yourself to inertia, will then quickly come to an end.
Therefore awake, your time on earth is precious! Because of our sins the Savior came, that is
unassailably and literally true. It is also true that He died because of the guilt of humanity.
But this does not mean that your sins are taken from you! The Savior’s work of redemption was to
take up the battle with the Darkness in order to bring Light to mankind, to open the way to forgiveness of
all sins. But each one must tread this path alone in accordance with the irrevocable laws of the Creator.
Neither did Christ come to overthrow the laws but to fulfill them. Do not misunderstand Him Who should
be your best friend! Do not ascribe to the true words an erroneous meaning!
When it is quite rightly said: all of this happened for the sake of man’s sins, then this means that the
coming of Jesus became necessary only because mankind could no longer find their way out of their self-
created darkness nor release themselves from its clutches on their own. Christ had to pave the way anew
and show it to mankind. Had they not entangled themselves so deeply in sin, that is, had they not taken
the wrong road, then the coming of Jesus would not have been necessary, He would have been spared His
life of struggle and pain. Therefore it is quite right to say that it was only because of mankind’s sins that
He had to come, if men, in their pursuit of the wrong road, were not to sink into the abyss, into darkness.
This does not mean, however, that the personal guilt of every individual is therewith forgiven
instantly, as soon as he really believes in and lives according to the words of Jesus. But if he does live
according to the words of Jesus his sins will be forgiven. However only gradually at a time when the
process of redemption through reciprocal action begins in the counter activity of good volition in
accordance to the Words of Jesus. Not otherwise. It is different with those who do not live according to
the words of Jesus; for them forgiveness is completely impossible.
This does not imply, however, that only members of the Christian Church can attain to the
forgiveness of sins.
Jesus proclaimed the Truth. His words must therefore also comprise all the Truths in other religions.
He did not want to found a church, but to show mankind the right path, which can just as well lead
through the Truths of other religions. For this reason His words often accorded with the religions already
existing. Jesus did not take these Truths from them but, as He brought the Truth, this Truth must
necessarily already contain all that was true in the other religions.
Also, he who does not know the actual words of Jesus and seriously strives for the Truth and
ennoblement often lives completely in harmony with the sense of these words and will therefore surely
attain to pure faith and the forgiveness of his sins. Beware, therefore, of one-sided opinions. They are a
devaluation of the work of the Redeemer, debasement of the Divine Spirit.
He who strives earnestly after truth and purity will not be lacking in love. Though sometimes beset
with serious doubts and struggles, he will be led upwards spiritually step by step and, regardless of what
religion he may belong to, he will either here or later in the Ethereal World meet the Christ-Spirit, which
ultimately will lead him on towards the Father. Thus the Word will be fulfilled: “No man cometh unto the Father but by me.”
“Ultimately”, however, does not begin with the last hours on earth, but at a certain stage in the
development of spiritual man, for whom the passing from the Gross Material World to the Ethereal World
is but a transition.
And now to the events of the great work of Redemption itself: Mankind strayed in spiritual darkness.
They had brought this about themselves, by subjecting themselves more and more to the intellect alone,
which they had so laboriously cultivated. In so doing they narrowed their perceptive abilities ever more,
until, like their brain, they became unconditionally bound to space and time and could no longer
recognize the way to what is infinite and eternal. Thus they became completely earthbound, limited to
space and time. All connection with the Light, with Purity, with the spiritual, was cut off thereby. The
volition of man was only capable of directing itself to earthly things, with the exception of a few who, as
prophets, did not have the power to penetrate and make a free path to the Light.
This situation opened all the gates to evil. Spiritual darkness welled up and flooded the earth,
bringing disaster. This could lead to only one end: spiritual death. The most terrible fate to befall
mankind.
The blame for all this misery lay upon mankind itself! They brought it upon themselves by
voluntarily choosing this course. They had wanted it to be so and cultivated it, in their utter blindness they
were even proud of their achievement without recognizing the terrible consequences arising from their
limited understanding, which they so painstakingly forced upon themselves. From out of this humanity,
no path to the Light could be created. The self-imposed limitation was already too great.
If there was still to be any possibility of salvation, help had to come from the Light. Otherwise the
downfall of man into darkness was unstoppable.
Darkness itself, through its impurity, has a greater density, which brings about a spiritual heaviness.
Because of this heaviness Darkness cannot of itself rise above a certain weight-level, unless from
elsewhere some attracting power comes to its aid. Light, however, possesses a lightness corresponding to
its purity, which makes it impossible for the Light to descend to this level of Darkness.
Thus there is an unbridgeable gulf between the two parts, in the middle of which stands man and his
earth!
Depending on the nature of his volition and wishes, man now has the choice of approaching the Light
or the Darkness, of opening the gates and smoothing the way for either the Light or the Darkness to flood
the earth. In this process men themselves are the mediators through whose power of volition either Light
or Darkness can gain a firm foothold from which to operate more or less powerfully. The more the Light
or the Darkness thereby gains in power on earth, the more either one is able to shower on mankind that
which it has to give, either good or evil, well-being or disaster, happiness or unhappiness, the peace of
Paradise or the torment of hell.
The pure volition of man had become too weak to be able to offer an anchorage for the Light in the
heavy, stifling Darkness, which had already gained the upper hand on earth. This anchorage was needed
for the Light to hold on to and unite with in such a way that in undimmed purity and consequent
undiminished power it could cleave the Darkness and thus deliver mankind, who would then be able to
draw strength from the thus tapped wellspring and find their way upward to the Luminous Heights.
It was impossible for the Light Itself to descend so far into the mire unless a firm anchorage was
offered to It. Consequently a mediator had to come. Only a messenger from the Luminous Heights could,
by becoming human, break through the dark wall which men's volition had built and, in the midst of all
the evil, create for the Divine Light that gross material foothold which would stand firm amid the heavy
darkness. From this anchorage the pure rays of the Light would then be able to cleave through and
disperse the dark layers so that humanity would not completely sink and suffocate in the Darkness.
Thus Jesus came for the sake of mankind and their sins!
This newly-created connection with the Light could not, because of the purity and strength of the
Messenger from the Light, be cut off by the Darkness. Thus a new road to the spiritual heights was
opened up for mankind. From Jesus, who, through becoming man, had become the earthly foothold of the
Light, rays penetrated the Darkness through the Living Word which brought the Truth. He could transmit this Truth in unadulterated form since His connection to the Light was pure through its strength, and
could not be tarnished by the Darkness.
People were now aroused from their spiritual lethargy through the miracles that happened at the same
time. By following these up, they came upon the Word. Hearing the Truth that Jesus brought, however,
and reflecting upon It, there gradually arose in hundreds of thousands the wish to follow this Truth and
know more about It. By so doing they slowly strove towards the Light. Their desire loosened the grip of
the surrounding Darkness, and ray after ray of Light penetrated victoriously as people thought about these
words and found them to be true. It became brighter and brighter around them and the Darkness, being no
longer able to retain a firm hold on such people, glanced off them and eventually fell back and lost more
and more ground. In this way the Word of Truth worked in the Darkness like a germinating mustard seed,
as yeast does in bread.
And this was the work of redemption of the Son of God, Jesus, the Bringer of Light and Truth.
The Darkness, imagining that it was already master of all humanity, rebelled against this in a wild
struggle to make the work of the redeemer impossible. It was unable to get close to Jesus Himself, for it
glanced off His pure intuition. Thus it naturally made use of its willing tools which it had at its disposal
for the battle.
These tools were the people who quite rightly called themselves “materialists” who yielded to the
intellect and who, like the intellect, were fast bound to space and time. Consequently they could no longer
grasp higher spiritual concepts, which lie far beyond space and time, and it thus became impossible for
them to follow the teaching of the Truth. In their own conviction they all stood on too “realistic” a
ground, just as so many do today. Realistic ground, however, is a very limited ground. And these very
people represented the majority of those in power, i.e. they held positions of authority and power in
church and government.
Thus the Darkness, in furious counter-attack, whipped up these people to commit the brutal assaults
against Jesus through the earthly power that lay in their hands.
By this the Darkness hoped to make Jesus waver, and thus in the last moment to destroy the work of
redemption. That it was at all possible for it to exert this power on earth was solely the fault of humanity
which, through their self-chosen wrong attitude, had limited their perceptive ability and thus given the
Darkness the upper hand.
This fault alone was the sin of mankind which entailed all other evil.
And because of this sin of humanity Jesus had to suffer! The Darkness continued to fan the flame to
the utmost: Jesus would have to suffer death on the Cross if He stood firm in His assertion that He was
the Bringer of Truth and Light. It was the final decision. To flee or to completely withdraw from it all
could save Him from death on the Cross. But that would have meant victory of the Darkness at the last
moment, because all the work of Jesus would have fizzled out once again, and the Darkness would once
again have victoriously engulfed everything. Jesus would not have fulfilled His Mission and the work of
redemption started by Him would have remained unfinished.
The inner struggle in Gethsemane was severe but brief. Jesus did not shun physical death, but
remained steadfast and calmly faced death for the sake of the Truth He brought. With His blood on the
Cross He put the seal upon all He had said and lived.
With this deed He vanquished the Darkness completely after it had played its last trump. Jesus won
the victory. Out of love for the Father, for the Truth, out of love for mankind, whose way to freedom and
the Light thus remained open, because this victory fortified their faith in the Truth of His words.
If He had withdrawn and fled and so given up His work, doubts would inevitably have arisen.
Thus Jesus died for the sake of humanity’s sins! If mankind had not sinned, nor turned away from
God by limiting themselves through the intellect, then Jesus could have spared Himself His coming as
well as His path of suffering and His death on the cross. Therefore it is quite right to say: On account of
our sins Jesus came, suffered and died on the Cross!
But this does not mean that you do not have to redeem your own sins!
Only now it is easy for you, because by bringing the Truth Jesus has shown you the way in His Words. Neither can Jesus’ death on the cross simply wash away your sins. Before such a thing could
happen all the laws of the Universe would first have to be overthrown. But that will not happen. Jesus
Himself often enough referred to “all that is written”, that is, to the Old. The new Gospel of Love does not
intend to overthrow or annul the old one of Justice, but to complement it. It wants to be united with it.
Therefore do not forget the Justice of the mighty Creator of all things, which cannot be moved by
even so much as a hair’s breadth, and which stands inviolable from the very beginning of the world until
its end! It could never permit any person to take upon himself the sin of another in order to redeem it.
So Jesus could come, suffer and die, for the sake of or because of the guilt of others, and He could
step forth as the warrior of the Truth, but He Himself remained pure and untouched by this guilt, which is
why He was unable to take the guilt upon Himself personally.
This does not lessen the work of the Redeemer, instead it is a sacrifice which could not be greater.
Jesus came down from the Luminous Heights into the mire for you, He fought for you, suffered and died
for you, in order to bring you Light and to show you the right way upward, so that you will not become
lost in the Darkness and perish!
That is how your Redeemer stands before you. That was His tremendous work of Love.
The Justice of God continued to exist, severe and strict, in the Laws of the Universe; for what a man
sows that shall he reap, as Jesus Himself said in His Message. Divine Justice does not permit one farthing
to be remitted!
Think of this when you stand before this sacred, solemn symbol. Give fervent thanks that with His
Word the Redeemer re-opened the way to the forgiveness of your sins, and leave these sites with the
earnest intention to walk the way shown to you so that you may receive forgiveness. To walk the path
however, does not mean merely to learn the Word and believe in It, but to live the Word! To believe in It,
to regard It as right, yet not to act in accordance with It in everything, would not benefit you at all. On the
contrary, you would be worse off than those who know nothing of the Word.
Therefore awake, your time on earth is precious!

any question?

Good Morning beautiful people. Hope you had a blissful worship? Here is another short and wonderful piece of information from the Grail message. May abundant blessings be upon you amen.

The religion of Love has been misunderstood because the concept of love has in many ways been
distorted and misrepresented, for the greatest part of true love is severity! What is now called love is
anything but love. If all so-called loves are relentlessly examined right to the bottom, there remains
nothing more than selfishness, vanity, weakness, convenience, illusion or instinct.
Genuine love will not consider what is pleasing and agreeable to the other, what brings him joy, but
will only consider what will benefit him! Regardless of whether it affords him pleasure or not. That is
genuine love and service.
If, therefore, it is written: “Love your enemies!” Then this means: “Do that which will benefit them!
Discipline them if they cannot otherwise come to recognition!” That is serving them. But justice must
prevail, for love cannot be separated from justice, they are one! Misplaced indulgence would mean
fostering the faults of the enemies and thus letting them slide further on the downward path. Would that
be love? On the contrary, by acting thus one would burden oneself thus with guilt!
The Religion of Love was made into a religion of slackness only through the unexpressed wishes of
man, just as the personality of the Bringer of Truth, Christ Jesus, has been degraded to one of weakness
and indulgence, characteristics which He never possessed. It was just because of His all-embracing Love
that He was so harsh and severe among the men of intellect. That He was often overcome with sadness is
natural when one considers His high mission and the human material He had to deal with. This sadness
had nothing whatever to do with softness.
After eliminating all distortions and dogmatic restrictions, *(Concerning the teachings of the church) the
Religion of Love will be a doctrine of the strictest consistency, in which no weakness or illogical
indulgence is to be found.

The so-called “inner voice,” the spiritual part of man, to which he can listen, is the intuitive perception!
It is not without reason that people say: “The first impression is always right.” As all such
expressions and proverbs harbor profound truths, so also here. By the word impression is meant intuitive
perception. For example, what a man intuitively senses at a first meeting with a stranger is either a kind of
warning to be careful, which may even go as far as absolute repugnance, or something pleasant up to
complete affinity, in some cases it may also be indifference. If now, in the course of conversation or
further intercourse, this impression shifts or is entirely effaced through the judgment of the intellect, so
that the thought arises that the original intuition was wrong, it almost invariably turns out at the end of
such an acquaintance that the very first intuition was the right one. And this often occurs to the bitter pain
of those who allowed their intellect to mislead them through the deceptive nature of the other person.
The intuition, which is not bound to space and time but connected with its homogeneous kind, with
the spiritual, the eternal, immediately recognized the true nature of the other person and did not allow
itself to be deceived by the cleverness of the intellect.
It is absolutely impossible for the intuition to err.
Whenever man is led astray there are two reasons for his errors: either the intellect or the feeling!
How often one hears it said: “In this or that matter I allowed myself to be guided by my feelings and
got into trouble. One should only rely on one’s intellect!” Such persons have mistaken their feelings for
their inner voice. They praise their intellect and have no idea that it is just the intellect which plays such
an important part in their feelings.
Therefore be on your guard! Feeling is not intuition! Feeling emanates from the physical body. It
generates instincts, which guided by the intellect, produce feeling. This is very different from intuition.
The combined working of feeling and intellect, however, gives birth to imagination.
Thus on the spiritual side we have only the intuitive perception which is far above space and time
*(Lecture No. 86: The inner voice). On the earthly side we have primarily the physical body, which is bound to
space and time. From this body emanate instincts which, in co-operation with the intellect, arouse feeling.
The intellect, being a product of the brain bound to space and time and consisting of the finest and
highest element in matter, is able with the co-operation of feeling to produce imagination. Imagination,
therefore, is the result of the working together of feeling and intellect. It is ethereal, but without spiritual
power. For this reason imagination has only a retroactive effect. It can only influence the feelings of its
creator, but never of itself send out a wave of power to others. Thus imagination only works backwards
upon the feeling of its originator, can only inflame his enthusiasm, but never influence his surroundings.
This clearly stamps it as belonging to an inferior order. It is different with the intuitive perception. This
bears within itself a spiritual power, creative and animating, and sending forth radiations which fire and
convince others.
Thus we have on the one side the intuitive perception, and on the other side the body, instincts,
intellect, feeling and imagination.
The intuitive perception is Pure-spiritual and stands above space and time. Feeling belongs to fine
gross matter, depending on instincts and intellect, and is therefore of a lower order.
Although feeling consists of fine gross matter, it can never coalesce with, and thus cannot dim
spiritual intuition. The intuition will always remain pure and clear because it is spiritual. And it will
always be clearly sensed or “heard” by men if... it really is the intuition speaking! But the greatest number
of people have closed themselves off from this intuition by placing their feelings like a dense veil or wall
in front of it, thus they mistake feeling for their inner voice, which is why they experience many
disappointments, leaving them to rely even more on their intellect, never suspecting that they were
deceived through this very co-operation of the intellect. As a result of this error they are quick to reject
everything spiritual, with which their experiences had absolutely nothing to do however, and attach
themselves more and more to things inferior.
The fundamental evil here, as in many other matters, lies in man’s voluntary subjection to his intellect, which is bound to space and time!
The man who completely subjects himself to his intellect also subjects himself completely to the
limitations of the intellect which, as a product of the gross material brain, is fast bound to space and time.
In this way man chains himself exclusively to gross matter.
All that a man does issues from himself and his own free will. Thus he is not being fettered, but he
fetters himself! He permits himself to be dominated by the intellect (this could never happen unless he
desired it himself), which by its very nature binds him to space and time and prevents him from
recognizing or understanding anything which lies beyond. A covering firmly bound to space and time is
placed over the intuition which knows no limitation of space and time, thus drawing a line, and man no
longer can hear anything whatever, his pure “inner voice” having been stifled, or he can only “hear” his
feeling, which is closely connected to the intellect, instead of his intuition.
It would create a false idea to say: feeling suppresses the pure intuitive perception, for nothing is
more powerful than the intuition, it is man’s highest power and can never be suppressed or diminished by
anything. It is more correct to say: man makes himself incapable of recognizing his intuition.
If man fails it is always through his own fault, never because of the strength or weakness of his
specific gifts; for the very fundamental gift, the actual power, the strongest part of man, which is the
bearer of all life and immortal, is given to all alike! In this respect no man has an advantage over another.
All differences are due only to the way in which it is used!
Neither can this fundamental gift, the immortal spark, ever be dimmed or tarnished! It remains pure,
even amid the greatest filth. You need only tear the veil which you have wrapped around you through the
voluntary limitation to which you have subjected your perceptive ability. Then, without any transition
whatever, it will flare up again as pure and clear as it was at the beginning, unfolding itself fresh and
strong to unite with the Light, the spiritual! Rejoice that this treasure lies within you inviolably! It is of no
importance whether you are esteemed by your neighbors or not! Every bit of dirt that has gathered like a
dam around this spirit-spark can be cast aside through honest goodwill. If you have achieved this and
again uncovered the treasure, you are worth just as much as he who never buried it!
But woe unto him who through indolence continually and strictly closes himself off from good
volition! In the hour of Judgment this treasure will be taken from him, and he will then cease to be.
Therefore awake, you who keep yourselves closed off, you who have covered your intuition with the
blanket of your intellect, with its limited ability to understand! Take heed and listen to the calls that reach
you! Whether in the form of a terrible grief, a great emotional upheaval, severe suffering, or a supreme
pure joy capable of bursting through the dark layer of base feeling, do not let any such call pass you by in
vain. They are aids which show you the way! It is better if you do not wait for them, but set out with the
earnest volition for all that is good and for spiritual ascent. In so doing the separating layer will soon
become thinner and lighter again, till finally it disintegrates altogether, and the still pure and untarnished
spark bursts forth into a blazing flame. But this first step must and can only be taken by the individual
himself otherwise he cannot be helped.
In all this you must distinguish clearly between wishing and volition. Nothing is achieved by mere
wishing, it does not suffice to bring about progress. It must be volition which impels and even contains
the deed. The deed already begins with serious volition.
Even if many a man must travel on various byways, because in the past he had entirely enslaved
himself to the intellect, he should not let himself be deterred. He too will win! For him it is a matter of
clarifying his intellect and of gradually peeling off and resolving all hindrances through experiencing
every single byway.
Therefore, onw

any observation?

Why do human beings so timidly evade this word, which should be more familiar to them than anything
else? What prevents them from reflecting deeply on it, from truly realizing and understanding it aright?
Is it veneration? No. Is this strange “lack of courage” even something great, something commendable
or deep? Never; for consider: you pray to God and in that prayer you cannot even form a proper
conception of Him to whom you pray; on the contrary, you are confused, because neither school nor
church ever gave you any clear explanation that could satisfy your inner longing for the Truth. The actual
Trinity still remained fundamentally a puzzle to you which you tried to solve as best you could.
Can a prayer in these circumstances ever become so heartfelt, so confiding, as it should be? It is
impossible. However, when you know your God and He becomes more familiar to you, will your prayer
then not be accompanied by deeper intuitive feelings, and be much more direct, more heartfelt?
Yet you should and must come closer to your God! You must not merely remain standing afar. How
foolish it is to say that it might be wrong to concern oneself so thoroughly with God. Indolence and
inertia even assert that it would be sacrilege! But I say to you: God wills it. All Creation testifies that it is
a necessary condition that you should draw near to God. Therefore he who evades this is not showing
humility but, on the contrary, boundless presumption! It is equivalent to demanding that God should
approach man, so that he can understand Him, instead of man trying to approach God in order to
recognize Him. Wherever you look, wherever you listen, there is hypocrisy and indolence, all under the
cloak of a false humility!
You, however, who no longer wish to sleep, who are fervently seeking and striving for the Truth,
listen to the message and seek to comprehend what is right:
What is your God? You know He said: “I am the Lord, your God, thou shalt have no other gods
beside me!”
There is but one God, but one Power. What then is the Trinity? The Triune God? God the Father,
God the Son, and the Holy Spirit?
When mankind shut themselves out of Paradise by no longer heeding the guidance of the intuitive
perception, which is Pure-spiritual and therefore near to God, but willfully chose to cultivate the intellect,
subjecting themselves to it and thus becoming slaves of the tool given them to use, they naturally fell
further and further away from God. The rift occurred when humanity gave preference to worldly matters,
which are unconditionally bound to space and time, which is alien to the nature of God, and therefore
makes it impossible to comprehend Him. The gulf became wider with each generation, and men chained
themselves more and more exclusively to the earth. They became the earth- and intellect bound men who
call themselves materialists, even do so with pride because they have not the faintest idea of how they are
chained. Through being firmly bound to space and time it was natural that their horizon simultaneously
became narrowed. How could the way back to God be found in such conditions? Never!
It was impossible, unless help came from God. Therefore, if help was to be offered, a bridge had to
be re-established from Him. And He was merciful. God in His Purity could no longer reveal Himself to
the debased intellect bound human beings, because due to their intellectual orientation they were no
longer capable of sensing, seeing or hearing His Messengers ands the few still able to do so were
ridiculed because the materialists, with their limited horizon bound to space and time, rejected as
impossible all thought of anything existing beyond that, rejecting it as inconceivable to them. Therefore
the power of the prophets to penetrate no longer sufficed, for even the fundamental ideas of all religious
endeavors had finally become crassly materialistic. Thus it was necessary that a Mediator between the
Godhead and erring humanity should come, One endowed with greater power than all the others had
possessed, so that He would be able to penetrate. Shall one say: for the sake of the few who, in the midst
of utter materialism, still longed for God? This would be right, but the adversaries would prefer to call it
presumption on the part of the believers, instead of realizing the tremendous Love of God as well as the
strict Justice in it, offering redemption equally through reward and punishment.
The mediator however who possessed the power to penetrate through the chaos had to be Divine
Himself, since baseness had already spread so far that even the prophets did not succeed as messengers.For this reason God in His Love, through an Act of His Will, severed a Part of Himself and incarnated It
*(lowered It into the gross material) in flesh and blood, in a physical body of male gender: Jesus of Nazareth,
Who thus became the Incarnate Word, the Incarnate Love of God, the Son of God!
Through this act the severed, but nevertheless spiritually closely-linked part became personal. Even
after laying aside the physical body and re-uniting closely with God the Father, He still remained personal
through His incarnation as a man.
God the Father and God the Son are two, yet in reality only one! And the “Holy Spirit?” Christ
Himself said that sins against God the Father and against God the Son could be forgiven, but never those
committed against the “Holy Spirit!”
Does the “Holy Spirit” then stand higher or is It more than God the Father and God the Son? This
question has occupied and worried many a soul and confused many a child.
The “Holy Spirit” is Spirit of the Father Which, severed from Him, works separately in all Creation,
and Who like the Son, remains closely connected with the Father and one with Him. The inexorable Laws
of Creation which spread through the whole Universe like a network of nerves and bring about the
unconditional reciprocal action forming man’s fate or karma... are of the “Holy Spirit”! *(Lecture No. 52:
The development of Creation) Or, more explicitly: are His activity.
That is why the Savior said that no one may sin against the Holy Spirit unpunished, because through
the inexorable and immovable reciprocal action the retribution falls back on the originator, on the starting
point, whether it be good or evil. And as the Son of God is of the Father, so also is the Holy Spirit. Both
are Parts of Him, belonging completely to Him, and inseparable from Him, as otherwise a part of Him
would be missing. They are like the arms of a body which can act independently, but still belong to the
body if this is to be complete, and they can only carry out independent actions as a part of the whole, i.e.
are absolutely one with it.
Such is God the Father, in His Omnipotence and Wisdom, at His right hand, as Part of Himself, is
God the Son, Love; and on His left is God the Holy Spirit, Justice. They have both issued from God the
Father and belong to Him as a unity. This is the Trinity of the One God.
Before Creation God was One! During the process of creating He severed a Part of His Will to work
independently in Creation, and thus became two-fold. When later it became necessary to provide a
mediator for erring mankind, because the Purity of God did not permit a direct connection to self-
enchained humanity without an incarnation, out of His Love He severed a Part of Himself as temporary
incarnation on earth, in order to make Himself once more understood, and with the birth of Christ, He
became a Trinity!
The concept of God the Father and God the Son were already clear to many, but the “Holy Spirit”
remained a confused concept. The Holy Spirit is Executive Justice, Whose eternal, irrevocable and
incorruptible laws pulsate throughout the Universe, and up till now these laws have only been guessed at
and variously described as: Fate!... Karma! Divine Will!

any question?

For thousands of years already a great error has persisted: The assumption that Jesus of Nazareth is the
Son of God and at the same time the oft-mentioned Son of Man is wrong! In order to bridge the gulf
between God and humanity, which humanity itself had torn open by cultivating the space- and time-
bound intellect, a part of the Divinity had incarnated *(Entered into earthly existence) in Jesus of Nazareth.
Thus Jesus was Son of God; as a part of Him He fulfilled His mission among humanity, which he could
only accomplish in a physical body of flesh and blood. Even during the incarnation He remained the Son
of God.
If he was the Son of God, however, he could not also be the Son of Man, for they are two and
essentially different. And He was and still is the Son of God! Who then is the Son of Man? *(Lecture No.
60: The Son of Man)
The disciples did notice that Jesus spoke in the third person whenever He spoke of the Son of Man,
and they questioned Him about this. The Gospels were written based upon the writers’ own assumption
that Jesus, the Son of God, and the Son of Man were one and the same person. From the outset, all of
their reports were based upon this error, and thereby, unknowingly and unintentionally, misconceptions
were spread.
Whenever Jesus spoke of the Son of Man He spoke prophetically of His coming. He Himself
announced it because the coming of the Son of Man is intimately related to the ministry of the Son of
God. He said: “But when the Son of Man shall come...” etc.
Like everywhere in Creation, this is a cyclical process. The Godhead descended to humanity through
Jesus, in order to bring the Truth and sow the seed. The seed sprouted, and the fruit ripens toward the
harvest. At the present time within this cycle, humanity, matured through the Truth brought by the Son of
God, shall foam upwards to the Godhead in the Son of Man, and through Him reestablish the close
connection to God.
This is not to be thought of purely symbolically, as so many assume, but the Word will be fulfilled
literally through a person, just as it was with Jesus. Between the two Persons, Jesus the Son of God and
the Son of Man, lies the immense karma of humanity.
Jesus went to Jerusalem for the Easter Festival where people of many nations were represented. The
people sent out messengers to Gethsemane in order to fetch Jesus. It was the time when through their
messengers, humanity, filled with hate and brutality, sought the emissary of God. Now observe the
moment when He stepped from the garden and they were standing before Him with weapons and torches
with thoughts of destruction.
When the Son of God spoke the words: “I am He!” and thereby delivered Himself up to mankind, the
immense karma with which mankind burdened itself set in. From that moment on it weighed upon
humanity, and in accordance with the inexorable Laws of the Universe forced it lower and lower to the
ground, until the final resolution draws near. We are now close to it!
It will close in an elliptical cycle. The resolution comes through the Son of Man!
When mankind will have become disheartened, desperate, demoralized and small, so very small
through the severity of events, then the hour will have arrived when they will yearn for and seek the
Envoy of God! And when they find Him, they will, as before, send out messengers. They however will
not bear thoughts of hatred and destruction. But this time, through these messengers, humanity, broken
down, humble and pleading but filled with trust approaches Him who has been chosen by the highest
Ruler of all the worlds to free them from their bondage and to bring them help and deliverance from
spiritual and earthly distress.
These messengers will also bring questions. And just as the Son of God once spoke: “I am He!” at
Gethsemane, whereby the karma of humanity began, so this time God’s Envoy will again answer with the
same words: “I am He!” whereby this terrible human karma will be resolved. The same words which once
burdened a hate-filled humanity with great guilt will remove the guilt from a humanity which now
approaches again with the same question, full of fear yet trusting and pleading.
This karmic cycle is of gigantic proportion, and yet it is led with such certainty and precision that the prophecies are fulfilled in it. From the hour on when this word is spoken to humanity for the second time
by an Emissary of God, the ascent begins. Only then will the Kingdom of Peace commence according to
the Will of the Most High, but not before!
On the one side you see the messengers of a hate-filled humanity approaching the Son of God,
fettering and mistreating Him and seeming to triumph over Him. Then follows the self-induced and
continual decline in the inevitable reciprocal action. At the same time, however, there is also the
strengthening and maturing of the seed that was sown by Jesus. Now the Son of Man, the Envoy of God
heralded by Jesus himself, approaches. He will carry on and complete the mission of the Son of God in
His service, and will gather the harvest while separating the wheat from the chaff in accordance with
Divine Justice.
Jesus, the Son of God, came among humanity out of love in order to restore the connection which
humanity had destroyed. The Son of Man is the Man who is in God, and who closes the connection in the
cycle so that pure harmony can flow through all of Creation once again.

any observation?

Hereditary sin was a consequence of the original Fall of Man.
The sin or wrong-doing lay in the over-cultivation of the intellect, associated with which was the
voluntary chaining of man to space and time, and the then resulting additional effects from purely
intellectual activity, such as love of gain, imposing upon others, oppression, etc., which again brought
many other, in fact all, evils in their train.
This process naturally had an ever-increasing influence on the forming of the physical body of those
people who developed themselves in a purely intellectual way. Through being continually exerted, the
frontal brain which produces the intellect became disproportionately enlarged. It was therefore quite
natural that this change in structure expressed itself in the procreation of the physical body, and that at
birth children entered the world with an increasingly developed and stronger frontal brain.
This contained, and still today contains, a predisposition or tendency towards an intellectual power
dominating all else, which harbors the danger that the bearer of such a brain, on awakening it fully, not
only chains himself to space and time, but also to everything that is earthly and gross material. He then
becomes incapable of grasping anything that is ethereal or Pure-spiritual, and in addition entangles
himself in all sorts of evil, which is inevitable where the intellect dominates.
It is the coming into the world with this voluntarily over-cultivated frontal brain, containing the
danger of a mere intellectual domination with its inevitable evil manifestations, which is the hereditary
sin!
It is the physical inheritance of this part, called on account of its excessive artificial cultivation the
cerebrum, which exposes man from birth to the danger of too easily entangling himself in evil.
This, however, does not free him from responsibility. He retains it, for he inherits only the danger not
the sin itself. He is in no wise compelled to allow his intellect to rule unconditionally and thus submit
himself to it. On the contrary, he can wield the great power of his intellect like a sharp sword to clear his
path in the daily bustle of life, as directed by his intuitive perception, which is also called the Inner Voice.
But if through education and training a child’s intellect is brought to the point where it completely
dominates, then the child is absolved of part of the guilt, or better, of part of the reactions brought about
by the Law of Reciprocal Action, because that part will then fall upon the educator or teacher who caused
it. From this moment onward he is tied to the child till the latter is freed from this mistake and its
consequences, even if this takes hundreds or thousands of years.
What a child so educated does after it has had a serious opportunity to consider and retrace its steps,
would then react upon it alone. Such opportunities arise through the spoken or written word, through
emotional shocks in life or similar happenings, which forcibly bring about a moment of deep intuitive
feeling. Such opportunities are bound to come. —
It would be useless to say more on this subject or to multiply examples, which would only be a
repetition and lead to the same conclusion. He who reflects upon the matter will soon find a veil lifted
from before his eyes. He will then have solved many questions within himself.

When they start their preaching and warnings just tell them if you ain't talking money shut up,you f*ol.

Any man thats not helping you make money is not your friend no matter his secular or religious position.

Some owners of private universities in Nigeria have imprisoned their unfortunate students from unfortunate parents in their schools as a way of making them Godly or moral.Kindly ask these G.o's and Rev.fathers how will this make me rich? How will this make me a success?If it making you rich is bullshit.



Any critic is a hater and must be deleted from your life for good. Any body that's not supporting you is your enemy, Any body that's not feeling is your enemy, is a son of a bitch.
Ask the legendary raper Jay Z and he will tell you more:"He that does not feel me is not real to me, so big boy doesn't exist, so poof, vamoose son of a bitch".The secrets of these greate's is their ability to identify and delete their haters from their lives permanently, its a skill most of us lack.
