Resurrection Morn! These words cast a magic spell that strangely moves every soul. The spirit intuitively perceives sunlit meadows full of flowers, gurgling brooks, the sound of distant bells, peace everywhere! A happy, free sigh of relief in Nature!

And resurrection morn it shall be for those human souls found worthy to experience the Kingdom of God here on earth. The others will remain behind in the Darkness that today still surrounds the earth, and along with the Darkness they will be hurled forth onto the course leading to inescapable disintegration, to spiritual death!

Already the rosy dawn glows in the ethereal sky as a sign that the day now approaches!

Awake, you souls who are waiting for redemption, waiting in the right way! There is but a short time now to the hour that must find you fully prepared. Do not let yourselves be found asleep at the last moment!

Dreadful is the Darkness that envelops the earth ethereally. It would be impossible now for any human soul to break through it.

Unless from the rising to the setting in the Universe a dazzling flash of Divine Truth forcibly pierces the sultry night of the spiritual, the human spirit, falling asleep as it is, will be lost in this Subsequent Creation.

For all the wisdom brought by Called Ones, which was meant to prepare the way that would make it possible for earthmen to ascend spiritually towards the Luminous Heights, has always been exploited by the followers of these Called Ones, mainly for earthly purposes! It did not remain as it was, free and natural, intended for the benefit of all men; but trained human cleverness polished it over and over again until there was nothing left of the original form in all its simplicity.

Thus the self-complacent reformers had achieved something futile and disastrous, in which millions of human souls have become entangled.

It all became a business out of which the craving for power gradually developed. Under the guidance of the intellect, which as Lucifer’s fruit proved itself to be excellent, there arose only caricatures of what true wisdom was intended to call forth. And the Darkness made shrewd use of this, so that the unsuspecting victims had to fall blindly into its arms, while their indolent spirits were deluded into thinking that they were striving towards the Light.

Nor was it otherwise later on with the Luminous Truth which the Son of God brought to earth, in order thereby at last to clear the path for the necessary ascent of men to the Kingdom of God, and finally to sever them from the toils of the Darkness, which arose from the distortions of the hitherto existing wisdom.

In the knowledge that He gave them Christ demanded spiritual activity by every single one,and therewith worship of the Most High through the deed!

Man should know everything that is contained in Creation, so as to recognise the fundamental laws working therein which bear the Will of God; for only through this knowledge can man so adapt himself as God demands. Then, living accordingly, he can gladden and further everything around him, which in turn will bring him ascent and that maturity which, as a human being, he can and should find in accordance with God’s Will, if he wishes to “pass”. To “pass” before God means not having to fall into disintegration.

All the Laws of God are adjusted to the sole purpose of promoting upbuilding and progress! Through Christ the whole of humanity was given the opportunity to become free in spirit at last.

But churches arose which went to much trouble to dissect the Word of the Lord behind monastery walls, even to conceal part of It, and only to issue that which they had expounded according to their own interpretations, in such a way as suited their own designs and purposes.

Thus once more the greater part of the gift sent by God to the individual human being was withheld from him in order to prevent men from becoming too spiritually active, too free. And so contrary to what Christ had wanted!

The churches sought adherents, riches and power. To this end no one was allowed to realise that he could find his way quite by himself into the Kingdom of his God without assistance from the church! The thought must not occur to him that God does not need a church between Himself and His creatures, whom indeed He had created without a church.

And this succeeded! Slowly but surely the church thrust itself and its demands dividingly between men’s longing for the Light and their God! To increase the number of its adherents, the church offered ease and comfort as an enticement to the indolent human spirit! It even went so far that for one purpose or another people could have prayers said in the churches for money. For payment the church relieved the individual of taking the trouble of doing it himself, and therewith also debased the prayer, the only means by which the human spirit should approach his God. But nobody noticed the senseless and degrading nature of such outrageous practices. It was comfortable, and thereby the number of “believers” grew.

As the church grew larger it became more ruthless, in the end even to some extent discarding its mask. Acting against all the Laws of God, it undermined everything that refused to acknowledge it. It agitated and slandered, even murdered if it could not otherwise attain its goal. At first this was done secretly but later on, as its earthly power increased, quite openly. It did not shrink from using the Name of God as a shield.

Here no man can speak of an error. Such a deed bears all too plainly the stamp of the basest Darkness! It is in the sharpest contrast to what Christ Jesus taught! Hostile blows were thus directed against every word that He had uttered. There is nothing on the entire earth that has dared to oppose Christ and His Word more than the church has done from the very beginning!

Nothing could be more dangerous! Through the very pretence of wanting to serve God, the effect for mankind was dreadful! Lucifer could not have had a better helper in his hostile work against God. Here his subtle prompting of the earthly intellect had achieved its greatest triumph! It had produced a misleading falsification of all that should actually have come into existence as willed by God! The pretence at genuineness was successful. What was most valuable and should have led to God, he had turned in the opposite direction through those who represented themselves as, and very often considered themselves to be, God’s servants; he let it become an obstacle that was bound to hinder mankind from advancing joyfully towards the longed-for Light! A move unequalled in its audacity!

And thus the Darkness enveloped the earth, and became the deepest night of the soul!

Now, however, the evil is being checked! All mankind will be rudely aroused from their delusion! A few to redemption, many to destruction! The final settlement for Golgotha is at hand! But in a sense different from what men have hitherto imagined!

Just as mushrooms spring up from the earth during a sultry summer night so, as has been foretold, will false prophets arise from the masses so that through themselves they may fulfil the Word and be judged; for the earth is to be cleansed of them!

And you, little flock, let it rage, let it storm! Before a Spring morning violent gales mustblow! Let millions of people be torn away; it is good and in accordance with the inflexible Will of the Most High! Each will receive what he deserves! Hypocrisy, corruption and the pseudo-knowledge of man must come to an end.

Soon the momentous words: “It is finished!” will once again ring out loudly and jubilantly throughout the worlds!

Then resurrection morn will dawn, and a resplendent sun usher in a new day for you! The Lord and God will grant a new era to those of His creatures who humbly submit to His Will!

Then will each soul breathe a great free sigh of relief, which as a thanksgiving, as a prayer, will ascend to the Throne of the Highest, as a vow to serve HIM as HE wills! May God grant it!

The path to the Light and to the Truth has long been described as thorny and stony, toilsome and hard.

Man simply accepts this as a fact. Nobody wonders why this is so, what may be the actual reason for it. And he who does occupy himself with it for once is almost certain to form a wrong picture.

Only a path that is little used and left uncared-for is stony, toilsome and difficult, and beset with thorns!

That is why it appears difficult to the few who, after many errors, choose to tread it. Here too the natural process must always be taken into consideration, and not those fantastic fabrications and inventions which a human brain likes to dwell on when thinking of such things.

From the very beginning the path to the Light was also only luminous and beautiful. It is no different today either for that human being who strides along it with a free spirit, unhindered by the wrong opinions with which many only too gladly allow their spiritual paths to be planted and overgrown!

It depends entirely on man! A human being who still allows his spirit to look freely to the Light, and who has never neglected to weigh with his intuitive perception what he is taught or told by his fellow-man, has thus tended the way to the Light and kept it clear for himself! As he goes on his way he will find neither thorns nor stones, but luminous, soft carpets of flowers that only enchant his eyes and lend wings to his feet!

Each one has to tend the path for himself, has to care for it and occupy himself with it. Whoever neglects to do this will consequently find it stony and beset with thorns, hard to walk on and also very often completely buried, so that finally he can no longer discover it, even when he looks for it!

Man must weigh what he hears and reads in his intuitive perception! This is essential for him if he wishes to keep his path clear and beautiful. If he does so when he begins to read or listen to something, he will immediately perceive whether it oppresses, perhaps confuses him, or warms him, as though it has a familiar sound.

He must ever bear in mind that true greatness and naturalness are always anchored in simplicity! Where this is lacking, and where all kinds of designations have to be used, something is wrong. Such paths will never be clear, nor can they be sunny.

So, for instance, when he reads or hears anything that is mystical or occult, any inwardly clear person will at once strongly perceive what is obscure; and this applies also to the dogmas of the churches. Vagueness or high-sounding words are intended to conceal the ignorance that is all too evident everywhere. Moreover people are very ready to flatter human souls and to sing a sweet song to their main weaknesses, above all to their conceit, so that they will glide easily and willingly over all the rotten places, and heedlessly disregard the great gaps and impossibilities which again and again rise up before them as a warning.

But he who listens to the quiet warning of his undimmed spirit keeps free his path to the Light and to the Truth.

On the other hand, whoever lets himself be enticed by the vague and sultry, because it gives unlimited scope to his fantastic thoughts, allows the clear path within him to become overgrown with creepers that hinder his free progress, making it more difficult, and often even preventing it altogether!

The temptation to give unlimited scope to one’s own fantastic visions is very great. The number of those who indulge with pleasure in this field seems to be endless, because everyone can voice his opinion, and may feel himself important in the gloomy uncertainties of a world of confused thoughts!

To wrench themselves free for the Truth will not be nearly so hard for the church believers as for adherents of occult sects and groups. They only need to make a little earnest effort and for once weigh matters quietly within, to recognise immediately the gaps woven into them by intellectual pseudo-knowledge, which darken and confuse the true path!

No great exertion is needed for the earnest human spirit to distinguish quickly between truth and error in all the churches. Therefore for the truly discerning the tie through the churches is not so great as it may seem! A simple, sincere volition already suffices to burst these ties at once in the quick awakening of personal conviction.

The church only keeps its hold over spiritually indolent human spirits. But they are no great loss, because they thereby prove themselves to be lazy servants of their Lord.

With calm observation, every one will very soon realise that the church today represents nothing more than an organisation striving for worldly power and self-preservation, as the attitude and actions of its servants demonstrate anew every hour, through the agitations and hostilities directed against those who are not prepared to serve them to this end! It is not difficult to recognise all this, nor to discover all the hollowness and impossibilities that are interwoven with their actions, assertions and doctrines. No keen spirit is needed for this.

Therefore a church cannot cause such great harm to thinking people as is often assumed. It is incapable of binding those who are alive in spirit!

On the other hand, occult sects and groups of all kinds cause unequalled and almost irreparable harm to the human spirit! And this despite the fact that they only try to present their own pseudo-knowledge, which is anything but true knowledge! They flatter the intellectuals as well as all seekers. And they are successful in this, for even among the seekers there are many who, though they seek the Light, still drag with them all the vanities of their souls, to which of course they soon fall victim.

As it is just occultism as well as mysticism which offer these vanities unlimited opportunities for development, they are also drawn there according to the Law of Attraction of Homogeneous Species! Occultists have often noticed the outermost and least effect of this law, and seek to make use of it. Giving themselves an air of importance, they call their feeble activities in this natural happening “magic”! It sounds well, and at the same time provides an air of mystery!

But they do not yet know the Law as such in its greatness, in its simplicity, and yet in reality in its compelling significance, as it glowingly permeates the worlds! They do not realise that with all their pseudo-knowledge they are being pushed about like wretched, helpless puppets in the grip of this Law of Creation!

The activities of these people bind their fellow-travellers and adherents to lower planes, which they would not even need to consider if they calmly proceeded along their path in all simplicity and dignity, as befits the human spirit. As it is, they are held back and for the most part are even lost through it for that reason; for it requires an immense effort by the human spirit to free itself from the spirit-binding trivialities of all occultists. Such practices divert spiritual energies from the straight paths that lead upwards! Only a few are able to muster sufficient strength to extricate themselves, since strong spirits will in any case not remain among the occultists, unless it be to indulge their vanity.

If in the numerous branches of occultism some knowledge is for once actually found, it concerns only the lowest environment of fine gross matter or perhaps gross fine matter, and never anything else. These are the nearest transitional planes, which have been given high-sounding names for greater effect, in keeping with the conceit of all the gropers.

In reality it is of practically no value. Or is it! Certainly not for the ascent, but rather for the binding of every human spirit, which in its Original state could have passed proudly and freely over this without lingering there. As it is, however, they attach such importance to these futilities that they become creepers, which, through the practices of the occultists, Lucifer’s henchmen now use as snares for hundreds of thousands! And there they remain, caught like flies in spiders’ webs.

Just look at their books! What a sickening amount of self-praise have these wiseacres, great and small, amassed in them!

Ridiculously trivial and obvious events are built up and magnified with a tenacity and persistence that could be applied to better things. Events which great-grandmothers interpreted much more clearly than those descendants, who so blatantly seek to draw attention to themselves and their exalted knowledge. The more absurd the stories, and the more incomprehensible the mode of expression in its affected style, the more beautiful they are thought to be. Sensation is often their main object, as with so many of the journalists now appearing in hordes, to whom nothing is any longer sacred, least of all the Truth.

It is incredible how much is let loose in this respect on humanity! And many are only too pleased to seize on it. After all, it is “interesting”, and may sometimes even make the flesh creep! The reader or listener can follow up the train of thought, revelling in slight shudders, or even playing a role in it; for he feels himself surrounded by the most uncanny things that have never worried him before. Now he suddenly finds that through this he is somebody, around whom many a thing takes place on his account!

Just all that a human being does not quite understand, but which he can embellish with a fantastic imagination; the “possibilities” are tempting. Much of their past experience they then interpret according to their own ideas, and some of this, which has never even been considered until now, suddenly becomes of great importance.

The life that has been so empty acquires a meaning! According to his opinion the man has gained much, he has awakened, and calls himself spiritually knowing!

These strange human beings! It no longer occurs to them that in reality it could be different. They simply wallow in a world of their own thoughts, which is so comfortable for them, because it has arisen from their own conceptions.

But this world is not lasting! It is bound to collapse in the hours of the Judgment! And then all these souls will stand without support, shivering in unspeakable despair, and will be drawn along in the vortex that must suddenly develop like a typhoon through the pressure of the Light.

Thus they all receive only what they created for themselves! Immeasurable is the damage they cause through their vanity. They have distorted and twisted the sacred concepts that actually help mankind in their ascent. All that remains are the most filthy substitute pictures, bearing the stamp of coarsest human conceit. This alone holds the threat of a terrible Judgment!

Frightful confusion has been brought about. Superficial observations of quite remote ramifications of what actually happens in Creation have been established as knowledge, intended to serve as an enlightenment on causes and processes, without those who talk in this way having any true knowledge of the Laws of this Creation. They have not even the faintest idea of them, and merely draw upon their whipped-up imagination!

Thus they distort the Wisdom of God that rests in Creation, they defile sacred laws which they do not understand, indeed do not even know, and prevent thousands from taking the simple and clear path, which is precisely laid down for and also beneficial to every human spirit, and protects them from dangers! They themselves, however, first call forth innumerable dangers that never existed before, but which have only been formed through their careless practices!

But the day is approaching when their hollow pseudo-knowledge has to face the Light, when they must confess and collapse! They are the worst enemies of all those on earth who strive towards the Light; they do not possess a single quality which could serve as an excuse at the time of weighing! Without realising it they are the most zealous among those who catch souls for the Darkness! Unknowingly, because vanity has dimmed their own vision! Nor will they ever muster the strength to save themselves; for they are much too entangled in the nets of earthly pseudo-knowledge and errors, in which they have buried themselves!

In their boundless presumption they not only belittle God’s great Love, but some even attempt to develop themselves into god-men!

Soon all mankind will have to recognise what boundless stupidity is contained in this very thought. This alone shows that these human beings cannot have the remotest idea of the true Laws of God in Creation, nor of this Creation itself!

They even build a throne for the human spirit itself, which should only serve the Light in Creation! They try to exalt it to the focal point, indeed even the starting point.

If today someone suffering from distress of body or soul turns to his God in fervent prayer, and receives a hearing that permits him to regain his health, these people who “think they know better” offer one-sided explanations which tend to belittle God. They speak of auto-suggestion having brought about this healing, of a power inherent in the human body, in the human spirit, enabling it to create everything, whatsoever it wishes in the right way!

They are quick to make a great song about men’s ability, and the sacredness of belief and conviction in the Power of God is defiled! Defiled! That is the right word. For many even wish thereupon to assert that the Son of God Himself formerly worked by suggestion, and dabbled in auto-suggestion.

So far does the human conceit of some occultists venture! They have come to deny God, and they exalt the human spirit!

Because they do not see that in the end their teachings can result in nothing less, not all of them will admit this! Taking all this to its logical conclusion, the denial of God’s inviolable Might is undoubtedly the last fruit borne by these teachings!

With Luciferian cleverness they distort the facts into a picture which has a very convincing effect on the intellect, but to those who know it shows the sharp line of demarcation at which the understanding of such occultists cannot proceed further. It merely shows a volition of the intellect, but no trace of a pure spiritual knowledge! It is the crudest self-deception, that makes occultists regard themselves as disciples of pure spiritual sciences! There is almost a subtle irony in this!

With all they do and say, they merely prove ever anew that they have the most pronounced intellectual volition, with a very special emphasis on all its weaknesses, and that they have remained far removed from spiritual knowledge, in the face of which they are completely helpless. They have no idea of the true nature of all the lawful activity in Creation, still less do they understand the wondrous Creation itself.

Even with the miraculous healings and miracles of Christ, this lawfulness in Creation was never invalidated. It could not have been, since the Laws of God in Creation are already perfect from the very beginning, and thus can be neither changed nor set aside.

Divine Power speeds up all Operations of the Laws, and can thus work these miracles. The process itself is always in harmony with the Laws of Creation; for nothing that happens in Creation can take a different course, not even the simplest movement. But the high Power of Divine Origin is able to accelerate the effect and in some cases to release it instantly! In this lies and arises what to the human spirit is a miracle!

Even God will never act arbitrarily, because He bears all the Laws within Him in the purest form, and is also the Law Himself. Every Divine Act will therefore always correspond with the Law. Consequently every Act of Will of God always takes effect only in complete harmony with the nature of these Laws!

Let us take the case of a sick person who in prayer begs fervently for healing. During this prayer he is wide open spiritually to the fulfilment of his plea; he is humble in the purest sense. Because of this the prayer rises upwards, and on the radiation of this humble plea the granting of it can in turn come down to him. This granting is a volition out of the Light! The volition lies in the Light itself, ever unchanged, always ready to extend help wherever it finds the right soil for it. The humble request is the right soil, where the pure Power of the Light can work. This is certainly also a merit of the human spirit, because it opened itself to the possibility for help; just as it is also a consequence of a certain activity or volition by this human spirit, but it is never also the cause of the recovery itself. It is not at the same time the Power which could and did help him!

The human being can only open himself for this, but can never also heal himself through auto-suggestion! At this point the occultist, in his short-sightedness, confuses this opening of oneself towards help with the help itself! Through this he has burdened himself with a tremendous guilt, for which he will have to atone heavily, because unspeakable disaster to mankind has been caused through it!

As the help in the Light always lies ready for those who open themselves to it in the right way, and as it even surrounds them always for the small things, because for this purpose part of it rests in the correspondingly weakened radiations in this Creation itself, therefore the so-clever human beings, in their arrogance, finally concluded from their observations that it is the human spirit who is able to provide this help for himself.

Indeed he can procure it, but only by opening himself spiritually in the right way to admit it! Nothing more! He does not produce the help as such, the power, the radiation for it! This lies in the Light alone, in God, Who sends it to you!

Man, however, merely observes the effect, and from this draws his conclusions, which have hitherto proved in many instances to be fallacies, arising from his inherent conceit. He could achieve quite different things with the right attitude, that is, with the right and great opening of his spirit! However, he has obstructed this for himself through the teachings of some occultists who would like to exalt themselves to be god-men! Because the Primordial Laws of Creation are things alien to them.

With a thousandfold ramifications and branchings, yet ever following the urge of the fundamental Law, the radiations of the strengthening and thus also healing Light are woven into Subsequent Creation, waiting for the creature to use them! They are not in the human spirit, much less in the human body itself, but outside it. The human spirit must seek the connection and open itself for the receiving in the right way, which is best achieved by deep and earnest prayer.

As the help in the Light always lies ready for the human spirit if it wishes to open itself to it, many a person will find a little help through opening himself by some method which he has taught himself. Wherever such help has been given, there have been moments of such intuitive perception in a human spirit as truly correspond with the Laws in Creation, so that the link with the help could be established. The person need not have been aware in the earthly sense of this intuitive perception, for it is a purely spiritual happening which very often goes unnoticed by the earthly intellect. The impulse of a moment is enough for this. And therewith the help from the Light was set in motion, because the Laws that exist for this purpose will never be overthrown. They are fulfilled even though a person is unconscious of it.

The occultist, however, perceives nothing of this; he firmly believes that he has really achieved it by his suggestion alone, or by auto-suggestion! Here he deludes himself, for help will never come to him when an even stronger power is needed than that which lies ever ready within Creation.

For then a special Act of Will of the Light must first set in from above to strengthen the current of power! And this can only come about as the consequence of a truly fervent prayer, of a request that arises from conviction of the Omnipotence and Love of God!

Sometimes genuine intercession may also bring the effect of help! When a person falls seriously ill he is inwardly weak, apathetic and completely neutral. Thus there is no resistance in him, even if at other times he was not so devout. This neutral state of his spirit allows the Power of the Light, which can be channelled by genuine intercession, to enter! And so it happens that a person may sometimes also receive help through intercession.

If on regaining his health, however, resistance to a genuine belief should again arise within him, his guilt will increase accordingly. It would then, of course, have been better if he had died after all, because at his subsequent passing he is bound to fall deeper than he would have done earlier! For these reasons not every intercession is either justified or right. Fortunately for man, in the best interests of the sick person, even the genuine intercession is often not heeded!

Through misconstruing the effect of these simple Laws of Creation, aspiring occultists have formed an incomplete picture, and have thus led thousands into a maze from which they will find it hard to escape.

The glory of the words “pure faith” and “pure conviction” has thus been poisoned, and just the inferior products of the intellect in the realm of suggestion and auto-suggestion have been held out to men as a sordid imitation.

The path towards perfection of the human spirit is closed to occultists through themselves!

The hour is near, however, when a halt will be called to these evil practices, when at last the higher knowledge of the Power of the Light will again move in for the uplifting and salvation of many human spirits!

The constantly maligned System of social distinction and class consciousness has its origin in the simple intuitive perception of the effect of one of the Laws in Creation: the Law of the Attraction of Homogeneous Species!

One of mankind’s gravest errors has been to pay far too little or almost no attention at all to the operation of this Law. This omission paved the way for numerous mistakes, which are bound to lead to great confusion and finally to total collapse!

This Law was intuitively sensed by all men, but whatever stands higher than purely gross material knowledge, and has no direct bearing on the possibility of earthly acquisition, they regard far too superficially and casually. Thus the most important factor for the basis of a harmoniously ascending earth-life has never been recognised, much less interwoven with the World of Gross Matter, that is, with everyday life on earth through its correct application! And interwoven with life on this earth it must be; because as long as there remains but one of the Primordial Laws of Creation not understood by men, and thereby gravely distorted or even excluded from gross material life, harmony cannot arise.

All the ancient peoples had already established the divisions between the various social or cultural classes, because subconsciously they realised the necessity, far better even than today.

Just look around you! Wherever only a few people come together this Law takes effect swiftly and surely, and in such a form as always indicates the free volition of these human spirits; because the volition of the spirit is capable of impressing itself on all forms, whether the act of this volition be of a fully conscious or a subconscious nature. Thus the form will always visibly bear the maturity or immaturity of the spirit.

Let us suppose that five people, or even only three, come together in certain circumstances, either to do some work or for pleasure. The Law of the Attraction of Homogeneous Species will very soon form two groups among them, if only in the exchange of views. The continual repetition of this over millions of years is bound to lead one to believe that there must be a reason that lies deeper than customary behaviour would indicate.

But even from this obvious happening, men have drawn only quite superficial and, in proportion to its seriousness, really trivial conclusions; too limited, since they were formed by the intellect, which can always comprehend only the final coarse manifestations of the actual effects, but can never trace them into what lies outside matter, because the intellect itself has its origin only in the Gross Material World. And it is just in what is outside matter that the origin of all power lies, and of all the vibrations that unceasingly pulsate through the species of Creation.

Whatever has been fashioned by the intellect here on earth on the basis of this observation lacks real life, mobility! It has become wrong and unhealthy, through the rigidity of the gross material system that has come into being with every institution, and pressed all that is living into a dead form.

Man is then like a plant uprooted from its native soil, which can no longer thrive in the new ground offered, because the soil is no longer suited to its species. It is bound to wither, whereas in proper soil it would have come to full bloom and could have borne rich fruit solely for the benefit of its surroundings in Creation, for the purest joy for itself, and for the perpetual transformation of power.

This great error always holds the germ of collapse.

With the expression “class consciousness” nobody need point to any one particular people; for all peoples have possessed it! It must develop wherever there are human beings, but it will always develop wrongly so long as the Laws in Creation remain unrecognised, as they have hitherto been.

And this wrong was bound to produce envy and hatred, an urge to destroy the existing order. The subconscious urge has grown in accordance with the Laws to an ominous wave, which as the blossom at the closing of the cycle of the happening has brought ruin, because there was simply no other possibility.

This reveals as fruit what has been false in the hitherto existing structure of man’s social life on earth, reveals all the places where the Primordial Laws of Creation have been disregarded or deliberately distorted. These consequences had to come about, because the Light which is now breaking in is also driving everything that is wrong to its culmination, so that it will then collapse of its own accord in over-ripeness, and yield the soil for a new upbuilding in accordance with the Will of God, Which from the very beginning was anchored in the Laws of this Creation, and can be neither distorted nor suppressed without ill effects.

This is the harvest of all the seed that has been sown through the volition of mankind since the beginning of their activity. The harvest of all that is right as well as of all that is wrong, whether the wrong once arose out of malevolence, or only out of ignorance of the Divine Laws in Creation! It will come to blossom through the increased Power of the Light and must openly show its fruits, which now during this Final Judgment, in the streaming-back of the reciprocal action, have to be accepted as reward and punishment by their authors and adherents, as well as by their hangers-on!

The unhappy dissensions and divisions among the various parties are not the result of a wrong political system, but merely the perpetuation of a wrong class system, which in its rigidity and distortion could never lead to harmony among the mankind of this earth!

Take also Creation’s Primordial Law of necessary Movement, and you will recognise that the self-satisfied and placid middle classes were bound to suffer the greatest harm of all! – It was simply the releasing of the necessary Primordial Law of Movement!

Self-satisfaction goes hand in hand with conceit and indolence in the spirit: Both hinder spiritual movement in the same way as prestige and power, which all too quickly bring arrogance in their wake, as could often be found in the upperclasses. All these obstruct and retard spiritual movement, at the same time one-sidedly promoting the activity of the intellect.

Intellectual activity, however, is not also at the same time spiritual movement! There is a great difference between them.

But the envy and hate of the lower classes go much deeper. In its intensity it strikes the intuitive perception and with it the spirit, thereby increasing spiritual movement even in those who belong to the physically idle!

Since feverish activity offends against the Primordial Law of Creation as much as sluggish movement, disharmony was eventually bound to set in like whipped-up billows, exactly corresponding to the driving and self-acting operation of the Primordial Law! It simply could not have come about otherwise!

I am purposely speaking here of the upper, middle, and lower social classes, for this was the fundamental division. And that is where the mistake lay. These classes, which are really necessary, should not operate below or above one another, but side by side. Each class must operate as a complete whole, as an indispensable species which is intended to mature to full blossom and bear fruit in Creation, in order to bring about great, indeed the greatest achievements, upon the soil suited to its particular kind, which soil alone will enable it and equip it with the necessary powers to do so!

Just look at the individual races on earth, you men! You can learn much from this. By itself each race can ennoble itself, mature and grow great and strong. But if two races mix, only the deficiencies, weaknesses and faults of both are reproduced, resulting with but few exceptions in a boundless aggravation of all the faults, and rarely in anything good!

Take this as a hint from Creation, and adjust yourselves in your gross material everyday life on earth accordingly. Here on earth you wear a gross material garment, your physical body, which you must take into account; for therein lies the propagation of the race here on earth! Always remember this! You can never evade these laws unpunished.

But all of you are jointly dependent on the earth. Each one has a right to work and to develop himself here; in fact not only a right but also a sacred duty! Yet not one below the other, but side by side. Just consider musical notes. Each note is an entity, it remains so and cannot be blended. Only when it is played in the proper setting beside other notes of a different value does it produce harmony, which has a pleasing sound. Transpose the notes and try to rearrange them, and the result will be disharmony, whose effects may well produce even physical discomfort and finally become unbearable.

Learn from this and grasp it! But do not once more begin everything at the wrong end!

All your past efforts have been against the harmony of the Divine Laws in Creation, and therefore you could not expect anything other than those fruits which you are now receiving and those which are still ripening for you! Cast them into the fire and begin to sow afresh. Only from the ground up can renewal take place.

Act accordingly, for you cannot distort any of the Primordial Laws of Creation without having to reap great harm in return. Learn to know the Laws and then build up accordingly, and peace, joy and happiness will be yours!

Furthermore, when you consider that in the last analysis everything, absolutely everything, has been developed solely on the basis of money, earthly power and earthly values, the present distress is not surprising, the collapse being conditioned by the Laws of Creation!

And as it was here, so is it with all else that does not rest upon the Divine Laws, which are so easily discernible in the Primordial Laws of Creation.

Everything must now be driven to the final release. Whipped up by the Light that is penetrating the Darkness of this earth, the perpetual building up of armaments with the thought of war, for example, was bound to lead to mass war. It was provoked solely by men’s thoughts, men’s volition, men’s caution and men’s fear. Through these, man put the forms into Creation. Powerfully driven by the increased Light, these forms had to grow, to blossom and bear fruit, that is, become deed, as with all the forms still existing in Creation, whatever their nature.

They must grow, and in so doing they will be raised by the Light and strengthened for further existence, if they are in tune with the Laws of this Light-Power, or if they can neither harmonise with the Light-Power, nor on that account make contact with it, they will be strengthened only to shatter themselves at the height of their growth against the Power of the Light, and thus pronounce judgment upon themselves. All that is wrong will consequently come to an end of its own accord through becoming visibly activated, even that which would still like to hide. Under the pressure of the Light nothing can continue to hold back, it must emerge, must come to light and must show its fruits through the deed! So that it may be exactly recognised for what it really is. And everything through itself!

It is no longer of any use to struggle against this, nor is intellectual sagacity, which in the darkness and twilight of this great confusion could so often stand the test in the past, of any avail. There must now be Light everywhere, in accordance with the self-acting and now greatly strengthened basic Laws of this Creation! Man with his volition is no longer of any account in the mighty mechanism which, permeated anew by God’s Power, quickens its effects in order to bring about purification and to renew itself therein, as it surges onwards!

Do not speak of the mass-suggestion of certain leaders, for it does not exist in that sense. What happens is quite different. The efforts of a leader can only bring about uniformity of thought. The driving power for the flaring-up of the deed is supplied solely by the perpetually self-acting effects of the Primordial Laws of Creation! Unfortunately however, owing to their fixed opinions men view everything from the wrong side, as if the power could issue from the individual or from man as such. But it is just the opposite! All power comes only from above!

Thus the most unsavoury party squabbles were bound to break out, and they will be intensified until the collapse of the parties themselves, because owing to their ignorance of the Primordial Laws of Creation they also stand on the wrong ground, and can therefore never be brought into harmony.

As the flowering of all the weeds in party affairs, newspapers now flourish which through their unscrupulous agitation poison even that part of humanity who wish to pursue their path inoffensively. Without restraint these papers try to outdo each other, because the pressing power of the Light now compels them to show their utter hollowness and the false aspirations they contain! And they do reveal them! They imprint upon themselves that stamp which they deserve, and which they will be unable to change or to erase when the hour of enlightenment comes for men through their own experiences and their own recognition!

There will be no retreat where they have gone too far, and have themselves thereby made a return impossible. And so here too downfall and self-destruction will come through their own guilt. When in accordance with the Holy Laws of this Creation all parties have lived themselves out through aggravation become deed, then the next result will be that the majority of newspapers will also cease to exist, because they will have nothing more to offer to their readers when, together with envy, hatred and hostility, their foundations have split asunder; for only on that swamp could they flourish as they have done. On good soil they can no longer exist.

Everything must become new! The churches themselves will not be spared in regard to what has hitherto been wrong with them. Here too everything now pursues its course in accordance with the Laws of Creation, and can no longer be checked by anything: whatever is not in absolute harmony with the Laws of God, which are firmly anchored not in books but in Creation, must reveal itself. Strictly in accordance with the nature of the seed the fruit will now ripen, to be harvested at the closing of the cycle of the events connected with all that has been interwoven in Creation by men’s actions and volition. This is equivalent to the oft-promised Judgment, before the beginning of a new time that will be more pleasing to God!

Bitter is the taste of the fruits which man’s activities have cultivated in Creation, and which mankind must now eat, even if they have to poison themselves and perish! Too long have they struggled against any recognition, because this did not accord with their hitherto prevailing views.

However, everything must first become new before there can be ascent, as has already been long proclaimed in promises, as the Son of God Himself already explained at that time. This means that everything has been wrong.

In his indolent thinking, however, every human being still continues to pass over this fact, even those who often speak of this proclamation. They know of it, but they do not regard it with that seriousness which would be necessary for their own salvation!

Unfortunately everything is always so taken up and interpreted as to correspond with the selfish or also comfort-loving wishes of each individual. And what does not suit him, or what he does not readily understand, he usually rejects or ignores, because that gives him the least trouble at the time.

Only where there is living conviction does the Word become deed and give men really firm support! All that is genuine and all that is false must soon expose itself so that it lies clearly before everyone, and all that is false, in the awakening through experiencing, will quickly collapse and never be able to rise again. Only through experiencing will man learn to differentiate! As long as he lacks the conviction gained through experiencing man will continue with a blind, inactive faith, which is of no benefit to his spirit, but paralyses and lulls it to sleep.

Go then, you men, and experience, for you are no longer able to come voluntarily to the recognition of Divine Truth through the movement of your spirit; because you keep the entrances thereto constantly blocked for yourselves.

Even your much-quoted saying “All men are equal before God” will very soon vanish, with its hitherto wrong interpretation, if you persist in comforting yourselves with it according to your idea of the words!

The saying as such is quite correct, but hitherto it has been wrongly interpreted! Here again the Divine Laws in Creation do not permit such an indolent interpretation.

It is quite correct that before God men are equal, regardless of what already lies behind them. But to stand before God, that is, to reach the steps to His Throne, is possible for a few men only. In his superficial habit earthman does not consider this weighty circumstance. Instead he tries to persuade himself that absolute equality in spirit prevails before God. He makes no attempt to consider the specific reference to “before God”. He simply ignores it, and clings to the word “equality” in the sentence.

Quite apart from the fact that in this being equal before God there also lies an allusion to the futility of earthly honours before all the Laws of God, which make no distinction when a human spirit passes over from his gross material earthly cloak into the Ethereal World, as to whether he was a beggar or a king, a priest or a pope on earth – before God he is a human spirit and nothing more, who must answer personally for his every thought, for his words and for his deeds – an even higher meaning lies in these words.

Before God means to be before the steps of the Throne of God, that is in the Spiritual Realm, the Paradise, which lies below the steps of the Throne. This is the most significant factor in this sentence, but man continues to disregard it. It is the most difficult, because a human spirit in Creation only reaches this place before God when he has atoned for everything which has burdened him in this Creation in the way of guilt and wrong things. Everything, even the last speck of dust! Not until then can he “stand before God”!

Nevertheless he will never behold God; for this he cannot do! Moreover the gulf from that place which is called “at the foot of His Throne” is still tremendous. It can never be bridged by a human spirit. For this reason man must be content with what he has. This is already immeasurably much, and indeed he hardly makes real use of the smallest part of it!

But the human spirits here on earth, as well as all those in Creation, are not equal before God! Such a concept is a fatal error! Man must first be so advanced in his maturity and purity that he is able to pass or stand before God; then he may say that he can be considered equal with those who simultaneously stand before God. What then lies behind him is of no consequence, because he cannot stand before God until everything that has previously been wrong with him has been effaced and redeemed, whether it concerned his opinions or his deeds. As soon as he stands before the steps of the Throne it is redeemed and severed; for he does not arrive there until it is. Neither by cunning nor by force; for the Laws in Creation will not permit it.

But once he stands there he is utterly and absolutely equal, as though there had never been anything wrong in him, no matter how great were his faults in the past! The same is also to hold good here on earth according to the Will of God, but men pay no attention to this in the laws they made for themselves – they do not follow the Will of God in these matters. Instead they always expect even more from God than they themselves are willing to give to their fellow-men! Christ has already expressed this clearly enough in His parable of the unfaithful servant. —

The empty words of the past are now becoming manifest in the Power of the Light! And thus the expulsion of all that has been diseased in the past, and the restoration to health, will come about of itself. Also whatever is wrong will be called to life and must reveal its fruit to all mankind! So that they may thereby come to recognition! The wrath of Almighty God will allow the evil to tear itself to pieces! Yet it was only through disregarding the Divine Laws that such excrescences and evil fruit were able to ripen, which you must receive everywhere today in order to taste them, and in so doing either free yourself from them or perish through them!

Only when these evils have been eliminated will men then gradually realise how in reality they have suffered through this poison. Only then will they be set free, and breathe a sigh of relief in the fresh air that has been produced by purifying storms of the severest kind.

Today however, things have not yet come so far. Fear still reigns everywhere! It is true that mankind are reluctant to admit this, but nevertheless fear rules their actions; for already hatred reveals itself! But the actual origin of hatred is fear! Whatever is attacked out of hatred is invariably also feared. Such is the way of men on earth.

Real hatred arises only from fear. Never from anger, and not from indignation, which in turn brings forth holy wrath. Nor can hatred arise from contempt or disgust.

And since fear is beginning to reveal itself in hatred, the end is no longer far off; for this fear now arises in earthmen through the pressure of the Light, which they cannot escape with their trusted and habitual intellectual subtlety, that now fails them for the first time in thousands of years, because it is powerless against the Living and Omnipotent Will of God!

The happening I explain to you embraces all mankind. Therefore do not think in your human way that everything should now be over in days, weeks or months. It is a struggle that has already been going on for years, but whose end is also interwoven with the Primordial Laws of Creation as an absolute victory for the Light!

Men, awake in your experiencing, so that you need not be lost in it! For soon there shall arise a humanity that swings knowingly in the Primordial Laws of Creation, so that the disaster which results from wrong living remains averted, and only peace and joy can reign on this earth-plane. For your salvation, and to the honour of God!

Strive for conviction in everything you do! Otherwise you are lifeless puppets or mercenary hirelings! In the Kingdom of God on earth the dead and the indolent shall be eliminated, and shall no longer have any justification for existence; for a man who in some way or other does nothing but run with the crowd is worthless before the Divine Laws.

Look around you so that you may learn from everything. Daily and hourly you are given the opportunity to do so. Observe events in every country. The masses who in diverse factions have for years besmirched and attacked each other, even becoming violent to the point of murder, will sometimes overnight parade through the streets together, singing and waving torches of joy, just as though they had been loyal friends for many years. Overnight! And simply because their leaders decide to join hands for some purpose or other. Where do you find personal and really firm conviction in such matters, where any conviction at all! There is none! It is the marching along without any intuitive perception of many thousands who are thus worthless for what is great. No kingdom that swings in the Divine Laws can ever arise on such soil; nor can it ever become healthy by such means.

If parties oppose each other, and this struggle is based on conviction, it is utterly impossible for them to join forces without changing their convictions and ways. That, however, does not come about in just a few hours. Should this nevertheless prove possible, there could certainly have been no conviction; but only one uniform aim could have such a decisive effect: the aim for power! That alone tramples unscrupulously upon everything, stopping at nothing to fulfil its aim if there is no other way. But from the outset such forced unions also harbour distrust, which always watches suspiciously over the other, and then has but little time for the main thing: the welfare of the people who look to them full of hope.

Such people, lacking in true conviction, can also be very easily diverted from the course given to them by the union. They have not that reliability which rests in personal conviction! A flood of meaningless words is enough to intoxicate them. But in such intoxication there lies no healthy deed.

With such people there can be no upbuilding that is able to withstand the storms! It is no different from the time of Jesus, when the masses called out “Hosanna!”, and only a few hours later “Crucify!”

But wherever conviction forms the basis of an action, of a deed, this cannot happen; for conviction comes from knowledge, and knowledge gives endurance and stability, also imperturbability and victorious courage, because true knowledge arises from experiencing.

And bearers of the Grail Cross do possess knowledge.

Out of this a wave of power shall arise and pour forth over all mankind on earth. This wave must sweep before it with irresistible force all the dross that still prevents the awakening of men to a recognition. Therefore become strong, so that, together with the great purification now taking place through the pressure of the Light, you will be able to pass on strength to mankind for a new resurrection! For heavy storms must assail the souls, so that they will become different through pain and distress, so that they will arise purified or perish!

But learn and mature personally in the process, so that you may gain conviction! And the nature of the conviction will determine who can be saved, and who must remain forever excluded from the coming Kingdom of God; for conviction is at the same time the fruit of your volition!

Only the power of conviction makes man alive in Creation, that is to say, of full value! It enables him to form works which must be taken seriously, and which do not easily perish.

It was for this reason that I called out to men in the foreword to my Message that belief must now become conviction!

It is now high time for all to achieve this. And since conviction out of knowledge comes in turn only through experiencing, man is now forcibly and sharply pressed into the outward experiencing of everything that he has hitherto created in the way of forms, so that he may clearly recognise, in pain and in joy, what he has formed aright and what has been wrong in the thoughts and intuitive perceptions of his life.

In the time of greatest tribulation, Cross-bearers in all countries will be regarded by men on earth as the guiding example they should follow. You cannot alter any of this, for it is so ordained. But woe unto you if they then find faults in you! Woe unto you for your sake and for mankind’s! Therefore do not waste the time for the necessary maturing. Men themselves would bitterly avenge their disappointment upon you. Be alert and strong!

The new Kingdom shall now come into being here on earth! The Kingdom of God, as it was prophesied to men by the Light! However, it will not come about with a gentle breeze, as a reward for the present-day humanity!

How greatly mistaken are the conceited believers, who have long been trembling with bliss at the thought of the Kingdom of God on earth, in the proud self-assurance that they will be permitted to enjoy it as the chosen children of God; because in their opinion they believe in their Saviour, Who has died for them and thereby taken on Himself the burden of their sins. Much as a good child very often becomes used to being rewarded with sweets, so they also think of the coming of this Kingdom of God here on earth. At this thought sweet dreams float vaguely before them, a serene feeling of being sheltered in the faithful protection of God, Who showers them with His Love out of joy that they believe in Him! Who rewards them with It because they have openly confessed their belief in Him, and have never been ashamed of Him before men. What unspeakable presumption lies in this attitude!

Just scrutinise things carefully and keenly, you men, and you will find that the majority of all Christians are just like this and no different! This is by no means exaggerated, sad as it may sound.

But the Wrath of God will strike these self-complacent ones with great severity! They are a slimy swamp, to be shunned with loathing! Just all those who now in their arrogance plume themselves on being the chosen and true children of God!

The Kingdom of God, however, makes great demands on mankind, and brings work in the richest abundance! It is the very opposite of what the church believer imagines! And the hardest work that awaits man is on himself! In this respect, he has much to make good if he is to stand the test at all. I want to remove the bandage from your eyes, so that you may now recognise these earthmen in all their malice; because you are to co-operate in this Gross Material World and help to promote the victory of the Light, which will annihilate the self-satisfied and yet so evil-minded parasites. For now they can only be called parasites, and no longer human beings!

But who among you stands firm; who is alert and ready for the fight against the whole of mankind and against the Darkness that surrounds them!

You are well-meaning and willing, but you still cling far too tenaciously and rigidly to every-day trivialities, thereby laying such obstacles in your paths that you become hardly able to achieve the smallest fraction of what in reality you should and must achieve. Everyone of you still lags far behind, because owing to all these petty trifles he cannot swing harmoniously in that which is great!

Become more flexible and free in your everyday work, and always and steadfastly keep in view and hold in your intuitive perception only what is great! Do not be too rigid in your perseverance, for this would hamper you. You must not make yourselves human parts of a machine, but you must become alive, great and free! Wherever your faults tend to form an obstacle, there you must immediately seek new ways that come easier to you, through which nevertheless you will finally reach that place to which you must attain!

Then you will see that the harmony is not so easily disturbed! Drop all that is rigid in your relations with your fellow-men, and become instead living and flexible! Give in for a time where something does not seem to work, but in doing so never let the reins slip from your hands! With a little skill you will finally bring whatever resists you to the place where it should stand. A good rider will never have to ill-treat his horse in order to master it, if he knows how to handle animals. He must simply first learn to understand animals if he wishes to control them! Rigidity on his part would bring only stubbornness in its train, or that kind of obedience which is liable to break down at any moment. He sits on a powder barrel, instead of his horse carrying him with love and care!

In reality that will which leads to the goal is unflinching, even if it has to alter its path, but not the will which allows its goal to be destroyed through its own rigidity. Perseverance alone leads to the goals, and not rigidity. Rigidity is always wrong, because it is unnatural, and also not in harmony with the Primordial Laws of Creation, which demand mobility. Any rigid clinging to something is incompetence, which does not recognise other alternatives, and therefore also hinders the forward striving of one’s fellow-men!
