Who was Bertha Dudde?

Bertha Dudde wurde am 1. April 1891 als zweitälteste Tochter eines Kunstmalers in Liegnitz, Schlesien, geboren.

Bertha Dudde was born on 1. April 1891, as the second oldest daughter of a painter, in Liegnitz, Silesia. She became a dressmaker and began to receive pronouncements from God through the ‘Inner Word’ on 15. June 1937.

“In a clear dream I was moved to write down my thoughts after devout prayer. Understandably this often gave way to doubt and inner conflicts until I was convinced that I was, myself, by no means the initiator of these exquisitely gracious words; but instead it was the spirit within me, in other words, the love of the Heavenly Father was obviously responsible for them and introduced me to the truth”.

“I was given knowledge of the spiritual world which far exceeded my elementary school education. I received and receive this knowledge as a dictation in a state of complete consciousness; I write down everything I am told in shorthand, in order to then transfer it word for word to clean copy. The procedure does not take place in a state of compulsion, for example in a state of trance or ecstasy, but in an absolutely level-headed frame of mind. However, I have to want it to happen and then I can receive these dictations voluntarily; they are neither bound by time nor place.”

“Now I only have one wish, which is to be able to make these gifts of grace accessible to many more people and in accordance with the will of God Himself to be allowed to do much more work in His vineyard.”

(Quotations from an autobiography from 1959).

Bertha Dudde died on 18. September 1965 in Leverkusen, Germany.

Autobiography of Bertha Dudde

At the request of many friends Bertha Dudde wrote the following biography in 1953:

I have been writing messages received through the inner Word since June 15, 1937. In answer to the many requests of my friends I will give you a picture of my earthly life, a short explanation of what I received spiritually, and my own feelings about all this.

I was born April 1, 1891, the second oldest daughter of an artist of Liegnitz in Silesia, today's Poland. I had a normally peaceful childhood, with six sisters in our parent’s home. I learned the cares of life at an early age. The desire to make money to help my parents made me learn the trade of a seamstress. As the financial needs of my parents continued, so did the burden, and in this way I made myself useful.

My parents belonged to different denominations. Father was a Protestant - Mother a Catholic. We children were brought up in the Catholic faith but never experienced pressure or force to follow the practices of the church so that each child in later years was able to pursue their own chosen course.

I myself was religious but could not accept the doctrine of the Catholic system although I respected the church. I could not represent something on the outside that my inner conscience had not accepted. So I did not continue to attend church, heard little preaching and had no knowledge of the Bible. I did not read any religious books or scientific literature and did not join any other group or religious sect.

Anyone knowing the Catholic teaching knows what a conscious struggle one finds himself in when he wants to release himself from it. I was not spared from this either. But the question as to what is the Truth and where it is to be found, remained.

Often when I prayed the Lord's Prayer I would beseech the Lord to allow me to find His kingdom. This prayer was answered in June 15, 1937, as I prayed quietly and waited for the inner voice. In this attitude I persisted often, for a wonderful peace came over me and thoughts which came to my heart, not my head, gave me comfort and strength.

Still I did not know that these thoughts were given to me until, in a strange dream I experienced something which later proved to be the Truth and caused me to write down these thoughts.

So on a certain day as I listened inwardly a stream of words came to me, which I wrote down. This was the first message I wrote which started like this: "In the beginning was the Word, 'a Te-Deum' to the Creator of Heaven and Earth."

Then came doubt, …. did you write this by yourself? In short, I have wrestled, prayed and gone through many struggles, but again and again the words came to me like a stream, a wisdom, which made me tremble. Then God Himself took away my doubts. He answered me and I acknowledged Him as our Father, in His Word. My faith grew, doubt diminished, and I received and wrote daily.

The contents of the writings were beyond my understanding. Phrases, which I had never heard of or read about, strange and scientific expressions and references continually came to me. Then came unheard of expressions of the Heavenly Father's Love giving refuge and providing enlightenment to all the questions of life.

The Words came to me in the following manner: After sincere prayer and a short period of composure I listened inwardly. Thoughts then followed coming to my mind, clearly, distinctly, and the words flowed smoothly always three or four, one after another, like writing a radio announcement or a weather report, slowly so that I could easily keep pace, writing line after line.

Now I write the words in shorthand as a dictation without having any constructive or intellectual part in it. I am in no way in a 'trance', nor do I even form the sentences, but it comes to me one word at a time, neither do I understand the context while I am writing the words down.

After days, sometimes weeks, I transcribe the shorthand writings into longhand without changing or correcting a syllable. Each dictation takes about half an hour. I must stress that this could not happen forcibly or in a state of ecstasy. It all takes place simply and consciously, without any excitement or influence of my own will. I can interrupt myself at any time and finish the sentence after hours or days without reading the previous writing the dictated words continue again.

My will is under no compulsion, all that I desire is to serve God and do what His will wants me to do.

I can truthfully say that I was led into this Truth, and these concepts were, in every respect, foreign to me. It was only after years that I found confirmation of what I received when I came to know the writings of Jacob Lorber. No one can imagine my joy when I discovered the literature of Jacob Lorber; ‘The Great Gospel of John’ and ‘The Youth of Christ’. Then I understood that other people were also given the Word of the Lord, that God had spoken to His children at all times and that God will continue to do this in His endless love and mercy.

I found in Lorber's writings the same as was given to me. I often could not understand the Word that came to me, but in His love the Heavenly Father gave me the explanation. How wonderful are the innumerable manifestations in which the Father displays His exceedingly great goodness.

It became clear to me that my limited education due to lack of money, and my lack of time to read good books or visit performances, became my advantage. I was now able to concentrate on my work from early morning to late at night, and each day I received that precious spiritual Word without knowing for whom I received it.

It is because of my ignorance of the Bible and the Catholic doctrine that I accepted the Word from above without resistance. In my experience, an earnest Catholic or Protestant whose knowledge is rooted in dogmatic theories is too much bound to dogma to accept and embrace divine revelations without resistance.

Still, there are scientists at several faculties who earnestly discuss these divine teachings with increasing interest. Their interest not only concerns the irrefutable explanation of the origin of matter and the possibility of its dissolution, but also the principle of the wrong teachings of different religions, systems and confessions. In the messages I received, these errors are recorded and everyone is urged to give instructions concerning these doctrinal errors whenever there is an opportunity. But everyone is free to take the Lord's Word to heart or not. But whoever understands the spirit in the Father's Word and does not act accordingly increases the distance between himself and the Father even more. When he does not follow the warning Words of love he puts himself inevitably under the law. He will also, in the same measure, lack in grace by disregarding God's commandment of love.

In God's grace people are led anew to the Gospel, which emphatically points out the purpose of man's being. For the merciful love of God seeks to save all who still can be saved before the turning point comes. And it will come. The end-time which seers and prophets have proclaimed is now here. According to the revelations given to me, the Lord does not differentiate between His children. ‘Come ye all to Me’ sounds His call and blessed is he who hears His call and follows Him. God loves His children. He wants to make them all happy, even when they do not want to know Him.

Firmament ....

B.D. 0205 from November 28th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Oh, my child, behold the firmament .... in the splendour of its sparkling stars .... not one of them is independent of the Creator's will, not one can take a path other than that which the Lord has determined. All believers heed God's call each time they behold this wonder in the universe. If therefore the Lord harbours a great number of beings on every one of these stars you can form an impression of the infinity of the universe .... of the endless number of spiritual beings subject to His will .... and of His constant reign and activity regarding these beings, all of which are part of the eternal light. Oh, you won't believe how inconceivable it is for you human children .... you, who cannot even form a remote concept for, if you could, the magnitude, the scale of the regions in the beyond, would overwhelm you .... Yet even the smallest event is arranged by the Father Himself, the tiniest being is cared for according to His will, and countless highly developed spiritual beings are supporting Him in order to accomplish everything that the plan of divine Creation comprises .... Words cannot describe this to you; faced by this momentous realisation you can only humbly bow down before the Lord's greatness and omnipotence .... in your present state on earth you are incapable of anything else. If the Lord bestows upon you the grace of having just the smallest insight into His reign, into His kingdom and His activity, you are inconceivably blessed already, for a child that takes no interest in such spiritual experiences will find it incomparably harder to accept God's obvious activity as long as it does not recognise God's will in even the smallest occurrence ....

God reveals Himself through creation ....

B.D. 3512 from August 13th 1945, taken from Book No. 45

Divine creative will gave rise to works, that are visible to the human eye, to reveal Himself to them in the works of creation. It is His aim, to lead the people to recognize His own, then to win his love and turn his will to Himself. As God’s greatness and glory, His love, omnipotence and wisdom is recognized, also the man strives to the highest essence. However without this knowledge, his mind turns to the things, that appear to him covetously for life on earth. A man contains a love within himself, which may be wrong, so it is directed at whom, what is transitory. He will always strive to something, and the object of his endeavour shall be divine .... something spiritual, that is perfect, then his love is right .... God Himself is the most perfect spirit, to get to Him requires deepest love .... Therefore He must also be recognized, and so He reveals Himself to people, when He gives rise to creations in front of their eyes, which attest His love, omnipotence and wisdom .... And man must learn to love God, who considers His creation attentively. He must feel God’s love and His wisdom, that has assigned determination to each work of His creation, and he must sink in deep respect for His greatness and unsurpassability. The knowing of the eternal Deity results inevitably in love to Him, and man strives consciously for God, he tries to contact Him, he offers himself to his creator as His creature, in order to stay connected with Him, because he loves Him. The love to God is the driving force of eager striving, without love man belongs to the world, because it has his wrong love. In order to be able to love God, He must be recognized however, and God Himself helps people, to learn to recognize Him .... He shows Himself to them in His greatness and power .... In His creations He is palpably near by the people, because everything, that has arisen from His will, is in its original substance spiritual strength, so whose outflow, of what He is Himself .... the strength center, an inexhaustible spring of strength of love .... God Himself is the eternal love, He is strength and thus present in each of His works of creation, what will be understandable for the man, so he has recognized God, so he has found his way into the essence of love by own work in love. If he has reached this stage of knowledge, to comprehend the essence and the strength of love, then he seeks God no longer in the distance, but He is near him in every work of creation, and his love for Him is growing steadily and let him constantly mature in the knowledge. And every man can come to recognize the eternal Divinity in serious contemplation of His works and serious will, to invade into a closed area for him otherwise .... God’s action and workings in the universe .... God appeases man’s thirst for knowledge, who is seeking to fathom Him in desire for truth and the pursuit of knowledge. Because He wants to be recognized, He wants to reveal Himself to men, that they may come into contact with Him; He wants to be loved by His creatures, and therefore He gives Himself to recognize as a being full of love, that is the highest perfection and can claim the love of His creatures with full right. But He does not want to force people to love, and that’s why everyone is free to let speak the divine creation to himself or to pass by it indifferently. God is always nearby the people in His works, but only those feel Him, who seek to recognize Him and therefore pay full attention to all the things, of which they are surrounded. These will feel Him and break out to Him in love, they will seek to fathom Him, they will let wander their thoughts to infinity and raise questions, that will be answered by spiritual side, and they will come to the knowledge, that the sequence is a pursuit to perfection, to be able to come near the highest and most perfect being, because man feels it, that this is the end-aim of his earthly life, that he unites with God, from His strength he once originated ....

Creation ....

B.D. 1586 from August 28th 1940, taken from Book No. 25

The universe is no more explicable in its existence, as the people the nature of the eternal Deity can be made intelligible, as long as they themselves have not yet entered the realm of light. Because what you see in creation, is probably outward matter, basically it is spiritual, that’s to say strength from God, that has condensed to form. But the condensing of strength to form is a process, that has no parallel in earthly life, and therefore remaines inexplicable for the people, because strength is something spiritual, however form is something earthly. That spiritual can be transformed into earthly visible, is beyond human comprehension and therefore is not to make people comprehensible. God’s love is strength .... His will is strength .... and this will for love took shape .... Also every work of creation is form, arose from divine will. Further it is the divine thought, which got form .... What God thinks and wants, that will happen, and therefore He puts all His thoughts as work in the universe .... His creation is outgoing from His strength, that has taken the form according to His will. It does not pass one second, when the divine creative will is not active, it does not pass a second, where no new creations are put into space, because His strength of love is constantly active. And everything created by God is continuously supplied with strength of His love. Consequently even God’s creation is immortal, although it changes the external shape and seemingly passes away. Nothing can be lost in space or dissolve into nothing, because everything is divine strength, therefore immortal. All creation is purchased through this same force and can never be destroyed. So the man apparently accomplishes a work of destruction, his free will turns against the will of God .... God draws back His will from the outer form of His work of creation, and this form ceases to exist apparently, however it is only invisible by the eye of people, until God lets His will of love to be form again. At that the motive for destruction by human desire is deciding, to what extent such is injustice in the eyes of God .... What God has created however out of the earth, is untouchable for a contrary disposed power to God. It’s only that subjected to a temporary change .... partly by divine will, partly by human will .... which is in contact with the earth. But even there are these works of creation, which the man can not comprehend and the origin of them lets him ponder. Only the earth alone contains beings, in which are inherent the drive for destruction, while all creations outside of the earth are not exposed to the will of destruction of immature beings .... But the apparent work of destruction has the consequence, that divine strength is not always recognized as the original substance of creation. The consequence of this is, that the omnipotence of God is doubted; the consequence of this is, that one tries to explain the origin of this creation works as purely earthly, that one tries to deny the creating force of an essential divinity and they want to replace it with the people credible appearing elementary force, that is independent of a being and is required in itself. Any planned construction of the entire work of creation would be questioned however, if a being is denied, who is unsurpassable and is the paragon of omnipotence, love and wisdom ....

The origin of the stars

Various apostasy from God .... Different distances ....

B.D. 4703 from August 2nd 1949, taken from Book No. 54

You were given the grace to live as a human on this earth and thus to be able to achieve the highest degree of perfection, if you use the grace in a right way. It is not arbitrary, that you are authorized for this course of development by the creations on this earth, but recognized from My wisdom and joined by My love you walk on this earth, although countless possibilities to mature exist in the universe for the spiritual, that once was insubordinate to Me and shall return to Me. But the course of development is a benefit on this earth, that can lead beings to the brightest light and most powerful strength. But it is also a very hard school, to complete it the spiritual has volunteered, that already has a certain level of maturity once, so it has revived other stars before, but this also can develop up from the deepest depth in the bounded will and may gain the greater advantage, as it passes this test of earthly life. It can be a true child of God, who possess all the rights and all the power of the Father, so it can take the Father’s legacy .... in the most intimate union with God and supreme bliss. Who knows about the eternal salvation-plan of God and about the original ground of My doings and work, he is to ask often himself, what I am determinated, to bless just this earth with My personal presence, to attract the meat and walk among My creatures as a teacher and model .... He is wondering, what I am determinated, to bless this work of creation, the earth, and to come to aid the inhabitants in their ascent to salvation .... It is the spiritual, that was perfectly created by Me, that was apostated from Me by free will, but the break with Me was not equal to all beings, it was argued differently and is happened in various ways, so that the resulting distance from Me was just different in size, that former light beings plunged in the deepest depth and the outer darkness surrounded them, while others retained a glimmer of recognition, even indignant, climbing up to the light again. And so were the conditions, that allowed a return to Me, different, and there were necessary various possibilities to mature, which My works of creation offer in manifold versatility. Deeply fallen spiritual requires a process of maturity, that requires all the hardships, but also promised certain success, however always taking account to the free will, so never compulsorily leads a return to Me. The spiritual, which must go back the path through the creations of the earth, therefore has been in greatest distance from Me, but in the stage of a human almost near to Me, but now it must go the final step only in free will and has to pass a short, but severe test of will, then to enter into the original relationship to Me and to achieve his original quality, to be an eternal blissful being. The course of development is probably easier on other creations, but does not lead to the ultimate aim, to a complete union with Me, to the right childship to God, what for you humans probably is also difficult to understand, because these spirits were not sunk so deeply and still should not to reach the highest height .... But a glimmer of knowledge was left them, so their guilt was so far greater, than that they were able to find back easier but remained in a distance from Me, until they too could reduce by My love and mercy the distance to Me on those creations under less severe conditions, but also with less high aim .... Also they can be blessed creatures, but the grade of bliss is so different, but will never reach the grade of a child of God, of a spiritual being, who will use his will in a right way in spite of most difficult conditions and is therefore holded and pulled up by My love, to be blessed eternally in union with Me ....

Amen

Different kinds of creations correspond to the beings' fall ....

B.D. 8405 from February 7th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

You inhabitants of earth are destined to become children of God, and therefore you have to overcome the lowest depths in order to be able to reach the highest heights. You will only understand this when you know that the beings' apostasy was quite different in as much as their resistance to Me was not equally strong either .... so that, as a result of your maker's will, you were also quite differently natured yourselves, which only relates to your degree of resistance, when you were supposed to make your free decision for Me or for My adversary. You all were permeated by the light of realisation, and yet you turned away from Me and joined My adversary, because you were able to see him in all his beauty, whereas I was invisible to you. Nevertheless you knew that you had originated from Me. Hence your resistance was more or less strong with the result that you were also assigned to different creations where you were likewise meant to take the path of return to Me, only the conditions differed from those which the inhabitants of earth had to comply with.

Earth is the work of creation which essentially makes the greatest demands on the fallen being in order to ascend again, whereas other stars offer their inhabitants easier possibilities, nevertheless, the ultimate goal .... the childship to God .... can only be attained on earth, even though the beings on other stars are granted unimaginable beatitudes after they have concluded their higher development and their will has subsequently been directed correctly ....

But in order to attain the childship to God the path across earth has to be travelled, and this can also be covered by a soul, if it so wishes, which has entered the spiritual kingdom from other heavenly bodies and which has reached the specific degree of maturity so that it can be granted a life on earth for the purpose of a mission. Then they (such souls) are already enlightened, yet they are not 'non-fallen' beings but beings from other stars .... whose distance to Me has not been so great, so that they relinquished their resistance to Me sooner and endeavoured to reach Me again. And as soon as they are enlightened again they also realise the significance of the creation work Earth, and many souls also desire to attain the degree of childship to God and thus accept the extremely difficult conditions because their love for Me and for humanity impels them to do redeeming work.

And thus souls, which do not achieve the degree of maturity during their earthly life, will similarly be able to continue their development in the beyond, and corresponding to their degree of maturity they will be assigned to schoolhouses where they can steadily ascend .... For creations everywhere are prepared for souls of all degrees of maturity, and since all creations are arranged differently and offer different living conditions they can already signify a state of joy for the souls having been transferred to them, for they are far more beautifully shaped than earth, since the creations therein delight the souls and inspire them to greater spiritual endeavours, for they so obviously testify of My love and might and wisdom, that it also intensifies these beings' love for Me. For when the apostasy of the beings took place an incredibly long time ago, which you would already consider an eternity, all beings indeed turned away from Me, but a countless number also separated from My adversary again soon after their apostasy, they did not follow him into the deepest abyss but left the large host ....

And My will did the same unto them as it did unto those who had fallen furthest away: From the strength which had been emanated by Me as a being It formed different kinds of heavenly bodies than earth, and the process through these works of creation was far easier and continued faster for the fallen spirits, so that the beings returned to Me sooner, since Jesus' act of Salvation was accomplished for these beings as well and it was possible to redeem their original sin, depending on each individual being's attitude towards its God and Creator, Whom they also recognised in Jesus. For they, too, received the knowledge of the act of Salvation through messengers of light who worked amongst them, whom I assigned as teachers to all beings so that they will find and take the path to Me.

Consequently, there are untold possibilities for the still imperfect soul departing from earth to mature spiritually, and My love and wisdom truly recognises the most beneficial opportunity to achieve maturity for every single soul. And thus all creations in the universe are populated by spiritual beings in the most diverse degrees of maturity, and they offer unparalleled kinds of bliss and splendours to those who have already achieved a higher degree of light, yet they will always .... even for less mature beings .... exhibit better and easier living conditions than earth. For this truly is the most wretched work of creation, which requires a lot of effort and makes great demands on the fallen being .... up to the human being .... but which can lead to the most glorious fate: the childship to God, which makes up for all hardship a thousand fold and turns the being into the most blessed child which will be able to create and work with Me throughout the whole of eternity.

To what extent the creations in the universe are of a spiritual or still material consistency will only be recognised by you humans when you have attained a particular degree of maturity or light, but this much is certain, they all serve the once fallen spiritual beings as an abode and thus are also shaped in accordance with their state of maturity. Hence you should consider all heavenly bodies as schoolhouses which I established Myself in order to one day bestow upon My living creations the bliss again, which they once had voluntarily forfeited and which they will also have to voluntarily acquire again ....

Amen

Matter is compressed spiritual strength ....

B.D. 8961 from April 10th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

All My creations are the fallen spirits, original beings, who once refused their activity and were transformed therefore to all those creations, which you see, and even those, that are hidden from your eyes, but serve the fallen spiritual partly as an external cover, or even more are bound themselves in the creations of all kinds. You must know, that I let arise the creation, because of the fallen spirits, but that also spiritual creations arise and are purchased, that My will alone created for the world, which moves in the light, but that these creations are incomprehensible for you, because they belong to the glories, that I have prepared for them, who love Me .... So everything visible to you .... even the most distant stars, which are visible by you as sparks of light .... the world, which has created My boundless love for the fallen spirits, but in their own way so versatile, that it can also absorb the spiritual in all stages of maturity, but are not recognized by you. But what you can not see .... that are spiritual creations, which My constant creative drive turned out, which only can be seen by you, when you have obtained a level of maturity, that allows you the spiritual insight. The number of fallen beings is incomprehensible for you and requires an infinite number of school buildings. You can not view allone the creations of the earth as such, even when there is spoken of “earthly“ matter .... but all these creations are more or less solid substance, which have removed from Me further or closer depending on the grade of their apostasy, or also spirit beings, who have already reduced the distance from Me and have not yet reached the highest abundance of light. But all those beings once followed My opponent, when he apostatized from Me, but he could not stop them, when they separated from him and did not plummet to the extreme depth. I used their substances to those creations, that could have far easier living conditions, consequently did not require those poor and miserable creations, like the earth has to have, because the hardest substances should come to mature on her, (this maturation) however only may be terminated on this earth to reach a childship to God. My versatility is not limited and ( so=the Eds.) you may behold always new creations during your maturation, when this life on earth did not obtain you the success, that you can go in the kingdom of light completely spiritualized, where you expect beautiful spiritual creations, which will bless you unmeasured. But that I also can create matter, that is non-fallen spritual being, that does not need to be doubted, because to Me nothing is impossible and all matter is compressed (spiritual) strength, which has thus been compressed to form .... But such a process takes place only then, when I self pursue a certain intention with this, how that has happened, when I created an outer shell on a pure spirit of light, in which I wanted to embody Myself and this can not be eternal in a once fallen soul .... For even a non-fallen spirit, that crosses the earth for the purpose of achieving a childship to God, must pass through the depth and therefore will need an earthly body, but which reaches far faster ripening, in which the resistance against Me is easier to break and also achieves his aim with certainty in one earthly life .... But I know about the state of each individual soul, and it is My desire, to wrest the souls from My opponent in the possible shortest time and thus to turn away one soul after another from the original spirit Lucifer .... so that in the end only the lost son remains, who will devote to Me, who I take in, because he has returned to his Father’s house ....

Amen

The nature of the stars

Are the creations of a spiritual or material kind .... Diversity of stars ....

B.D. 8838 from August 8th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

You are requesting clarification about the creations in the universe, and I want to provide it for you as far as you are able to understand it. The creations are partly of a spiritual and partly of a material kind, but these cannot be regarded as earthly-material, for My creative will is incredibly versatile and you should never assume that other stars have the same composition as earth. However, you have to consider that it is not just earth which is sheltering solidified spiritual substances, but that the innumerable stars visible to your eyes were called into being by Me to help the ascent of all human souls which have not yet reached the degree of maturity needed in order to continue their development in the creations of the beyond.

The whole of creation is My emanated strength, and the earth is the most miserable creation because it consists of coarse matter. Thus anyone covering the process through its creations would be able to completely spiritualise what as 'soul' gives life to the human being. Yet the attained degrees of maturity in which the soul departs from earth after the death of its body are very different .... And thus it will be received by other creations which, as far as it is concerned, certainly also exist in the 'beyond' but which by no means can be called purely spiritual creations, since their substances are likewise solidified spiritual essence .... strength, which once emerged from Me as a being and failed to become active in accordance with My will. However, this matter is far lighter and more compliant, so that the souls staying there are impelled into eager activity and mutual helpfulness, thus they continue to progress ever more. Thus it can be said that this matter is easily dissolvable and yet it also shelters spiritual substance which had once become unfaithful to Me but which does not suffer to the extent as is the case on earth .... which gladly is of service in facilitating the souls' further development, which (this matter) therefore will disintegrate again as soon as it has fulfilled its task.

The creations on these stars are inhabited by beings .... which can also be called human beings .... who likewise have the task of supporting these souls' further development, consequently material creations have to exist as well, yet they should not be imagined such like those on earth. The beings (souls) are now in a world which offers them incredible things and yet it is a tangible world, because everything is permeated by My spiritual strength and it will remain a tangible world until the complete spiritualization of all beings has taken place, which then will no longer require a material world.

But since this shall continue for an eternity and the stars in the firmament are thus visible to you humans, you are instructed to the effect that all these worlds are My will which has taken on shape, that I have emanated strength which more or less was deeply fallen spiritual essence, that this strength manifested itself, thus it is and remains visible for the respective inhabitants of these stars, who merely possess different degrees of realisation and are thus also able to admit inhabitants from earth in order to help them further their development. Then you humans will exist 'beyond' earth and yet in My kingdom, and depending on your maturity you will change your abode in order to enter ever more spiritualised creations.

Yet whatever your eyes behold as heavenly bodies in the firmament are creations which were brought into being by My will; and these creations are the original spirits which had once deserted Me, they were given a task by Me that they now fulfil, hence they more or less acknowledge Me again, consequently, they didn't descend quite so low but nevertheless require material creations in order to fulfil their task therein .... Yet it cannot be said that it is earthly matter, since this spiritual essence had fallen into the deepest abyss which the human being on earth has to overcome over an infinitely long period of time, rather, those material creations were given to people for their happiness and to delight in them .... For a visible star must also exhibit visible creations which should illustrate to the already more mature spirits their Creator's magnitude and power and also offer the spiritual substances still in need of maturing the opportunity to be of service. This problem is not easy to explain to you because you only understand what exists on your earth, and even here your knowledge is limited, but how other stars have an effect on your thoughts will remain hidden to you as long as you are incapable of seeing spiritually. Then, however, this realm will be open to you and you won't be able to stop marvelling at the creations on the individual stars. Yet all My works have their reason and demonstrate My love and wisdom and might ....

And whatever seems inexplicable to you will become known to you the more your soul's maturity advances, then there will be no more questions which could not be answered for you .... And this wealth of knowledge will make you very happy, even if it is at the moment still concealed from you ....

Heavenly bodies .... Spiritual and earthly substance ....

B.D. 2142a from November 6th 1941, taken from Book No. 31

Only that man gets closer to the problem of the creation of the world, whose thoughts are turned to God, because he thinks about the origin of the universe, about the infinity and the Creator of all things. He will not draw fast conclusions, he will presume and ask questions in mind, and mentally the response will be sent to him, as he pays attention to his thoughts. The slightest willingness to be thaught by knowing strengths, God rewards in the way, that He commissions them to guide man’s thoughts in the right path, and also his thinking will correspond to the truth, and he will take wisdoms from himself. He is taught by the Spirit of God, and therefore man is in truth .... The world is the product of the divine will to love. It is the thought of God, which has become a form. All tangible and earthly visible belongs to the earth, the realm of matter .... But out of this the spiritual world is not visible to the human eye, but also comes from the divine creative strength. Because the universe has innumerable creations, whose elementary bodies are spiritual substance, that can not be perceived by the human eye, because this can only see earthly matter. Could the human watch these spiritual creations, he would get a great knowledge, but his free will would be in danger, because what he would see, would be decisive for his whole life on earth. But the knowledge for that reason must remain hidden for him, so that he can walk his earthly life completely unaffected. God’s will, wisdom and love purchased creations continously, that appear to man only as very distant heavenly bodies, so he supposes them in the same nature as the earth. However these heavenly bodies are of such diverse design and for the habitants of the earth completely inaccessible. Nevertheless the human mind can rove into these creations and he takes down to earth, what he sees and hears. And this is an extraordinary grace of God, for man as such will never be able to get into that realm, and therefore the knowledge would lack him completely. But his spirit teaches him in the following manner:

Heavenly bodies .... Spiritual and earthly substance ....

B.D. 2142b from November 7th 1941, taken from Book No. 31

There is nothing in the universe, that does not have its origin in God. Consequently everything must proclaim the divine wisdom, that’s to say, it must correspond to a plan, designed by God in His wisdom. So nothing is useless in space, though it may appear to man. Now the heavenly bodies correspond their purpose exactly like the earth, although they are designed differently. Everything in the universe gives the still unfree spiritual possibility, to develop to the height. That is the only purpose of any work of creation. But now there is by no means to accept, that therefore all works of creation exist from the same substance, so that only the earthly substance, the matter, can be the admission station of the undeveloped spiritual, because this assumption would imply, that everything in the universe is from the same earthly substance. It would also require, that all the stars were inhabited by the same beings, by people, but this always means a persistence in the same state, that’s to say in the undeveloped state lifelessness, meaning inaction. It would also mean constant darkness, and so should be all the stars lightless creations. But the higher developed beings would feel this creation as unbearable complusion, for they would find no receiving willing beings for their output of light, so the pursuit of God would never find fulfilment, if the being would not be released from his earthbound condition and would come into free regions, where an action without cover of complusion is possible. So also creations must exist, which mean no complusion for the being. But every earthly substance is a complusion for the spiritual therein, consequently (this must be eliminated), and there must be creations, that can only be explained purely spiritual, because they are only purely spiritual substance. They exist, but not visible to the human eye, but perceptible only with the spiritual eye. Therefore they are to be regarded as spiritual creations, which means, they can be beheld only after the earthly life, that they contain the spiritual beings, who have travelled the earthly life and should develop higher. But the state of ripeness of the beings is different, consequently the creations must be different, which now serve the beings to stay ....

Heavenly bodies .... Spiritual and earthly substance ....

B.D. 2143 from November 7th 1941, taken from Book No. 31

For the higher development of the spirit the serving activity is the decisive factor, namely a certain activity is required by the being according to the domicile, and this again corresponds to the nature of the heavenly body, that has those beings as inhabitants. Earthly visible and tangible substance conditions also an activity, that achieves visible and tangible substance again, and therefore the soul, the spiritual, must be in a wrapper, that is tangible and visible. But activity can exist also only in a purely intellectual working, that means not be bound to any form or earthly creation and yet likewise be a serving in love, so the being comes to perfection. Consequently the maturing of these beings does not have to be made dependent by earthly creations, that means material creations. Rather the upward-development can be able to go ahead faster and easier in spiritual regions. However the activity in a spiritual environment is hard to describe to people. It is not to make them understand, because the human can not imagine life without physical exterior shape, but with God nothing is impossible, and therefore He created things, that appear unacceptable to the human mind, which should be explained as non-existing by human terms, but they are not possible to imagine out of the universe and therefore are also not to be denied. And these are the heavenly bodies, that are visible by the people as stars in the sky. These stars are endless lengths away from each other, they are always a world of them own. God’s omnipotence, wisdom and love attestes each creation, but man does not comprehend the nature of the stars, as long as he is on earth, it is nothing imaginable for him, what is not made of earthly substance. But the spiritual in man is also a completely independent substance from the earthly matter, and this leaves behind all material tangible or visible on the earth, as soon as it comes in the spiritual realm through the gate of eternity. And so the stay of the soul after physical death is not a creation of earthly substance, but the countless stars are meant to it, that are visible for the human eye as luminous celestial body, but in reality they can not be seen by the human eye, because they are no earthly creations, but they were still created by God for the higher development of the imperfect spiritual ....

Stars .... Natural law .... Research to no avail ....

B.D. 0254 from January 10th 1938, taken from Book No. 5/6

Dear child .... it is a fundamentally wise law that, according to the Lord’s will, the heavenly bodies in the universe always orbit the sun at the same distance and in eternally repetitive regularity. Every creation in the universe depends on the solar system .... Not a single star can exist without the luminosity of the sun, for the purpose of each heavenly body consists of being the abode for countless more living beings .... and yet the composition of each one differs. If you want to ascertain this you must take hitherto unknown laws into account .... The Earth is a completely independent star .... that is, from other heavenly bodies, with its own specifically designed natural laws, and therefore you can only explain the stars you see in the firmament according to these natural laws .... yet you do not come close to the truth in this way .... the laws of earth apply to all inhabitants of earth .... nevertheless, they deviate from the laws of other stars .... consequently, it will never be possible for you to establish principles and rules about them, for you are not in control of the laws of the universe. It is roughly the same as if you tried to explain to the creatures in the animal kingdom that every individual person thinks differently .... just as every spirit shapes its own life and that these lives can be totally different .... and the animal would be unable to understand the spiritual sphere in which the human being exists, although man lives on the same earth as the animal .... so all stars differ from one another, despite the fact that they all move within the universe and are subject to the same will .... Hence the final answer will remain unknown to you, it is therefore entirely pointless to establish scientific research about areas and questions mankind will never be able to solve, for even if you have found an answer .... who wants to prove that this answer is right? .... Your calculations and conclusions will only ever be in accordance with the applicable laws for earth, yet the universe hides such great secrets that researching them during your earthly existence will be a futile effort .... Who gives you the guarantee that the Lord’s creation has taken place in the same way on all stars .... who on earth will say things, the proof of which he is powerless to ascertain? .... Just as planets are worlds apart from each other, so is every star’s purpose different for its assigned beings, and the laws these heavenly bodies are subject to were given by the Creator of the Universe according to His wise judgment, yet they are utterly incomprehensible for the inhabitants of Earth and not inexplicable for the human intellect .... All beings shall recognise the Lord’s greatness by His work of Creation, and if the human being only once considers the fact that he merely knows a very tiny part of Creation and that he cannot even thoroughly explore this part .... the Earth .... in its whole composition, then a slight sense of the infinity of the universe has to come to him .... of the inconceivable magnitude of the Creator .... and he must begin to realise that everything has been created according to a wisely devised divine plan and that the human being, as a part of this work of creation, was placed into it in order to likewise fulfil a task which has to be the purpose of his life on earth. And the result of a person’s contemplation about trying to investigate the Earth and its surrounding heavenly bodies should be the wish to serve the Lord of the world. For vast is the universe and tiny is the human being.

Stars .... Dwelling place for souls .... Sun-light ....

B.D. 0258 from January 14th 1938, taken from Book No. 5/6

Behold, today we proclaim to you in the Saviour's name that which will introduce you to infinity .... There are times when you are drawn to observe the splendours of the stars, do you ever consider the glories that might hide behind them? .... And no matter how many million stars you see in the firmament, it is nevertheless only a part of infinity .... it is merely a fraction of Creation and does not even begin to give you an idea as to how many more of such stars in the universe are still invisible to you .... This myriad of celestial bodies is only governed by one Spirit .... one Light .... and one Deity .... Over thousands of years it has been the Creators will to offer completely free beings the opportunity for advancement on these stars .... and to gradually prepare them for the state in eternity where they shall be illuminated by an abundance of light which far exceeds all the light of the stars in the universe. Yet even the abundance of light on each of these stars differs in intensity .... the sizes of the suns, which give light and warmth to these stars, are, in turn, so different that no-one on earth would be able to imagine them, because these areas are inaccessible to human research and would only lead to wrong conclusions. Nevertheless, everything in space is so well arranged that from eternity to eternity nothing of this wise order of worlds can be revoked .... that no star would ever be able to leave its designated orbit and take a different path .... And thus listen: The Lord created space for the perfection of all His beings and for the duration of the earthly course of life, for instance, the human being has a number of years at his disposal during which he can attain a degree of perfection which will place him into bright surroundings. The soul shall continue to develop to ever higher realms and be offered ever more opportunity .... And the purpose of every star .... is to offer the countless beings a space that suits their spiritual state where the spiritual beings' activity shall be continued. It is incredibly difficult to explain this to a person, for he can only grasp this with his human intellect and is incapable of imagining the multitude of stars which are subject to God's will and which time and again offer countless beings the opportunity to mature fully again ....

Vacuum ....

B.D. 0832 from March 28th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

Thus, outside the earth is a vacuum, the determination of it is, to capture the spiritual beings, so that they demand back for the shape, they want to escape, and therefore have to be in the immediate vicinity of earth. This space is a separation from all, that still remains in the matter and of the matter itself .... and the spiritual realm out-of-matter and will already therefore externally isolate the earth completely in the space of all creation, that is indeed the same way as the earth is alive, but is moving in completely different laws of compulsion, as they are understandable for the inhabitants of the earth. Therefore it is impossible in any way to overcome this vacuum of human hand and to make it passable through inventions of any kind, because whose task is taken spiritually, to roll back all from the earth outgoing to earth again .... but taken earthly this space would not save the necessary fluid for human life, which is indispensable for the body of people. An attempt to conquer the limit drawn by God’s will will inevitably also mean the earthly end of the attempter, because everything can remain living, beings and matter, as long as it is in the area of such a life and matter sheltering earth, but outside this the conditional elements of life are missing, out again wise thoughtful welfare by the creator for everything spiritual, that seeks to escape his destiny and would prolong his way of purification just endlessly. The air-void dominant spiritual world is in a certain state of maturity, in which it resides with the function for such defence of all earthly things. The farther the beings develop themselves, the more responsible richer is its task, but this is always based on the welfare of the take care of beings and therefore is achieved with zeal and love. But never the man as such will succeed, to get a usable area, which completely contradicts the nature of the earth and therefore also does not offer the slightest possibility of life, and all research of this area will stay unsucccessful, respectively will result in the physical end of the researchers ....

Celestial bodies .... Various luminosity .... Purpose of those ....

B.D. 1919 from May 16th 1941, taken from Book No. 28

What provisions many infinitely stars have, is unknown to man, and a statement of that is only to give in faith and also to accept in faith only as truth, for a proof can not be provided, as long as the man belongs to the earth. The stars have the same missions as the earth .... to give the spiritual beings further development opportunities, but they are so different and completely differing in nature from the earth, but all serve the same purpose, to put immature beings in a higher ripeness. And this task is always decisive for the quality and design of each heavenly body. Each star is thus revived for the first time, from such beings still needing visible works of creation, because they still lack the maturity of soul. The way of activity of those beings on a star beyond earth is not to make people understand. However it differs totally from the earth task of beings, because this task requires matter, while the other heavenly bodies are creations, where neither earthly laws of nature apply, nor by there living inhabitants are required works, which are equal on earth. Only man imagines something similar, as long as he can put nothing else for it. That is the only way clarification can come to man, indeed it is divine will, that also clarification will be given to mankind .... Where your eye can see, you find divine creations, but you do not see the spiritual, that is saved therein. This spiritual gets through infinitely many stations, before it is associated the One, from Whom it is originated. (05/16/1941) It may be enough to go through the visible creation work of God, to re-enter the spiritual state of perfection, in which it once was, then it does not need any more school of spirit. It may be united in the kingdom of light with equal spiritual mature beings and thereby develop ever higher. But countless souls do not use earthly existence, as they could, then they leave the earth in defective maturation and are unable, to enter into the kingdom of light. Those must now be given a further development opportunity, because God’s creation is infinitely great, and the educational institutions of the mind are truly enough. Each site corresponds to the state of maturity of souls, who stay in her now. They differ from each other only in the different light intensity, that’s to say, they are more or less bright, because the luminosity of each heavenly body is dependent on the maturity of the inhabiting beings, because their maturity level is decisive for the light beam, that they receive. There are stars, that are lightless, because completely ignorant beings inhabit them, who are also not willing to receive the light, that’s to say, they close themselves to the teachings offered to them. But knowledge is light .... These lightless stars are most densely animated, because countless souls divorce from the earth, who have taken no spiritual knowledge in themselves, and therefore these can be assigned only to those celestial bodies, where still is darkest night. However they usually feel the darkness as torment, and then there is given the possibility, that they desire and look .... And then the higher development may also be used in those souls, and they can be put into some more enlightening areas, that’s to say, on celestial bodies, which have a low degree of luminosity. But the same law obtains for all the stars .... that the beings are active in love .... because it earns light, that’s to say, now light in form of knowledge is streaming to the light beings engaged in love. There are stars, that have an incredible luminosity. Thus there are the souls, that have brought through their God-pleasing way of life on earth and their service in love in a high blessed maturity or they were endeavoured to make up for their failed task on earth on other stars and are now light carrier, also receive constantly light and can distribute. These spiritual beings need no stay in visible creations. They are now empowered by their high degree of maturity, to create and design, and do that now for their own felicity. Consequently, those celestial bodies are fulfilled with exceedingly charming creations. These are no earthly creations, so consisting of matter and therefore solid form, but they only correspond to the stay of the beings in spiritual regions, as well as the lightless stars involve no material creations, but are also perceptible to the beings, because everything there is available, what the beings desire in their dark state. Before their spiritual eyes even earthly creations purchase, because their will, their desire let be the creations visible, but not exist in material reality. And that means a pain for the being, to stand in desire for something never be palpable or perceptible, but only have an imagination ahead oneself. It is thus made clear to him the transitoriness of earthly things, so that they learn to overcome the desire for it by themselves, for having overcome without this, the being can never enter into luminous spheres. But in the state of perfection the creation and design of things is something else .... These are spiritual creations, that have no connection with earthly desirable things. The different stars are therefore home for in different maturity standing souls, who are separated from the earth. And there are millions and millions of stars from such different luminosity, that truly every soul finds the corresponding home on degree of maturity, to be able to develop further, that therefore only the will of the being is decisive, whether it travels the passage to the altitude in a shorter or longer time. God does not abandon a being and gives him again and again development opportunities also outside of the earth, so in the hereafter. However the unused earth life is never completely to compensate .... because only on earth the being can reach by right will a state of perfection, that gives him the highest heritage of the heavenly Father .... the childship to God .... There are infinitely many degrees of felicity, which the beings can achieve by path of the higher development in the stars. Never however they will be able to enjoy the felicity, which is prepared for a child of God. For this purpose God gave man life on earth, that he, as long as he has free will and thus strength and grace are unmeasured available, can achieve the highest for himself .... the childship to God .... For what this word means, you all can not believe .... And yet you must walk through life on earth without the knowledge of the meaning of that, so you are striving in complete free will on earth to union with God, to get one day the most blessed creatures in eternity ....

Diversity of the stars

Eruptions .... Diversity of stars ....

B.D. 1823 from February 21st 1941, taken from Book No. 27

The natural law applicable to the universe .... is the indestructibility of everything in existence. Nothing can cease to exist instead, it can only ever change according to God’s will. And this change, in turn, happens in the way that something becomes invisible in order to appear in a visible state elsewhere again. This law is inherent in even the tiniest work of creation, so that the apparent disintegration merely signifies a transformation of that which existed previously. Consequently, even large works of creation, such as stars, can take on different shapes; nevertheless, this process occurs over an extremely long time span, over thousands of years according to earthly time, so that they can never be observed by people, as far as it concerns the fundamental change of a work of creation. Then the eruptions of individual works of creation are mainly the cause for shaping new creations from similar creations of smaller dimensions. These new creations exhibit the same characteristics and composition as the work of creation they emerged from. Thus, in the vicinity of a sun stars always exist whose same substances and natural laws demonstrate their affiliation with this very sun. From a worldly point of view, the sun therefore cannot be anything else but an infinitely enlarged formation of the same composition as its surrounding planets, since these are works of creations which emerged from it. As a result, all these stars should also be populated with the same beings. But this is where enormous differences become obvious. Not one work of creation harbours the same living organisms as another, and therefore the external structure of each star differs as well, and always in relation to its living inhabitants. And this, in turn, also excludes the same material composition .... Hence, only the core of each star is the basic substance, the external cover, however, corresponds to the living beings assigned to it. Everything that exists within the vicinity of a sun has emerged from this sun, that is, it was spewed out by it, but from the moment of its independence it assumed the properties which correspond to the living beings to which this work of creation shall serve as an abode. The infinitely varying degrees of maturity of the still imperfect spiritual beings also necessitate infinitely many creations of different structures, and herein lies the reason for the diversity of the stars.

Separate worlds .... Various heavenly bodies ....

B.D. 6977 from November 27th 1957, taken from Book No. 74

Countless heavenly bodies circle in the universe, that you people are not be able to see, that all have emerged from God’s strength of love, that’s to say they were once-radiated divine strength of love in their substance, but originally it had another destination. For this radiated strength of love were beings, who should be active by the will of God, but which have not fulfilled their original destination and used their own force in a will opposed to God. So these beings miseducated themselves to creatures in a completely adverse type to God, and they couldn’t stay in their deformity, because it contradicted the divine order. Therefore God reorganized these creatures, He dissolved them into countless tiny sparks of force, and from that He let arise new creatures of various kinds. That, what once was created as self-conscious beings, were now initially rigid structures, which God gave many different forms and the most various purpose determination. He brought (gathered) Himself so to speak once emanated strength from Him in specially created forms for that .... He created countless worlds by virtue of His will, that are basically all the same: transformed spiritual beings, but which should get back their original form, but therefore first must serve each other in God’s will .... Insofar all these worlds are connected with each other, that they have the same creative spirit as the Father, that they all are created by the same power and also they all have as a last aim the association with this creative spirit again. One will reigns all these worlds, and one strength preserves them. But nevertheless the different worlds are separated from each other, and none of the worlds comes into close contact with one another, because the basic substances of each single world are collected in accordance with it, and these basic substances have come more or less insubordinate to God and therefore they also need the most various individual creations, to organize themselves again and enter into the original state. Therefore each heavenly body is a work of creation for itself, all stars are different from each other in basic substance, creation and destination. Because the will to create of the eternal creative spirit is unlimited, because even His love ans His wisdom is limitless. And His last aim is, to get back all once radiated strength from Him as accomplished children, who can create and act with Him in the same will for their pleasure and their salvation. The earth is such a work of creation, that God let arise for the purpose, that miseducated beings can turn again to their original being through their own will after endless long time. But only the earth offers the possibility, to achieve the highest perfection, while the other worlds partly contain already highly developed beings, partly are teaching institutions for such self-aware beings, who did not reach the aim in life on earth, but still need and also can be able to get to a certain level of maturity, once being able to fulfill its original purpose. However, for the achievement of the highest aim only the earth is the responsible work of creation, but therefore a passage on this earth is also far more difficult than going through other worlds .... But in the end all creations in the universe serve only one purpose for the return of the spiritual, who once had fallen away from God. And therefore each creation will also remain strictly separated from the others, because the self-aware spiritual has to cover its course of development in complete freedom of will in each world .... but immediately this freedom of will would be at risk, if compelling evidence would arise by compounds of self-aware beings for the salvation plan of God and the free striving for perfection would be prevented from itself thereby. Although spiritual connections exist and can be initiated, but these do not exert any compulsory faith on the self-aware beings of this earth, they can be believed and not believed, and they only will exert a beneficient influence, if a certain state of maturity of those beings has already reached .... if people on earth have already recognized their purpose of existence and want to achieve their last aim .... Then they are already near completion, and they do not need evidence .... they believe also without such and strive for their reunification with God in free will ....

B.D. 8987 from May 31th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The area, which is unfathomable for your mind, you can still enter, as My spirit can work in you .... Then there are no limits for you, for My mind is My portion, and I Myself know all, nothing is unknown to Me, and so I can also convey the same through My spirit, I can open up you into all areas .... But it depends on your maturity level, how far you can take insight into the secrets of creation, and depending on your level of maturity I can teach you, although even the smallest knowledge corresponds fully to the truth. But it’s up to you, to increase the maturity level, to be able to penetrate deeper what only love always realizes. For love bands closely together with Me, and then you shall also be filled by My spirit, you shall be able to see the whole creation lightly and clearly and capture all contexts. You will also know about the kind of creations, their purpose and their respective destination. You will also know about the diversity of the stars, which are so versatile, because they also carry all different mature souls and .... since I had countless ideas and them could carry out .... I therefore also formed every star after each other thoughts (laws), but which should all be for the return of the once fallen (spirituals). I’m not a being, Who is limited, Who gives up or uses up in His strength .... I constantly create and always new ideas emerge from Me and take shape .... I have so many mansions, where the development of those beings on the way back to Me is going on, My creations are countless and ever more creations arise out of My love, because I prepare new joys again and again for all of My beings, as more and more all of them climb to height, when they are on this way once. And so the people on earth are .... once when they have reached to a small glimmer of insight in the afterlife .... now also ascend and a throwback to the depth is excluded. Countless celestial bodies are to accommodate for these souls again, always appropriated to their level of maturity, that is always more increasing and thus also forces a change of their residence again and again .... You humans can see countless celestial bodies from earth, though those are for you to look .... but are innumerable. And there are still countless celestial bodies in the whole of creation, that are invisible for you, so that they also far exceed your estimate capacity as a human being .... So you only can watch the whole creation in the brightest light, because then you also know no longer limiting. But then your bliss doesn’t know limits, for you know the determination of any star and also to the state of maturity of its inhabitants, and you will always seek to increase it, to put them all in the same condition, in which you yourselves now dwell: in intimate union with Me Myself and constant streaming by love .... But a condition of your ascension is, that you possess a glimmer of knowledge .... And that means, that the truth has already penetrated you, because before that you move in the dark or walk in light twilight .... that you can not seperate from heresies. And the number of them is large .... This condition is probably is tried to be changed by light beings, but as long as they are rejected, there is no hope, and a throwback to the depth is still to be feared. But as well as there is just some love in them, they will not be closed from the intentions of the beings of light, which point them again and again to Jesus Christ, then they will also get off of their error and accept the truth, and the way up for them is safely. For these people the knowledge could have been developed already on earth, if they had attended to the voice of the spirit in themselves, because having already the knowledge on earth, opens the people the door to the kingdom of light, and they will certainly find back their way into Father’s house, in order to unite with Me forever ....

In what wealth the eternal deity radiates His strength of love into infinity, can not be gauged by a man, as long as he is still on earth, because he only knows the him visible creations, which make up only a tiny part of the whole creation. But God sustains all creation by donation of His strength of love. Therefore countless works of creation are carriers of His strength, countless celestial bodies carry in them embodied beings, whose life is safed by inflows of His strength. And all these beings He gives Himself to recognize as creator and sustainer, as they stand in a certain level of maturity, that gives them strength of knowledge. Mostly they are beings of high intelligence, not to be compared with the people of this earth, who are probably at a lower stage of development, however can achieve the highest possible aim, the childship to God, which is not possible to gain on other creations. However in the knowledge they are more advanced than the people of this earth. They are led by spirit beings from the realm of light and set in high knowledge, they also have the ability, to use such information, and are mentally very active, because in them the concept of level symmetry is highly developed and they feel every unevenness as lack of maturity and see deficiency of value of the creatures. And they try to compensate this by transferring knowledge, given to them in a way, that it is recognized and accepted by them as of divine origin; so the beings are connected to God, Whom they recognize as supreme spirit of eternity, love and try to adapt to His will. Their way of life is also according the will of God so far, as he is not led in unkindness, but always brotherly love connect the beings among one another, who see their highest duty in it, to hand out those, who do not own, what blesses those. So they are also in a way in the light .... (04/20/1947) and nevertheless they are beings, who have to mature yet, who have to walk the path to perfection yet, because what they have, is not acquired by their own will-power, but given to them as a precursor to this free test of will, so they take another course of development than the people on this earth, whose soul substances had to develop up from the depths of their past apostasy from God. There are also original spiritual beings, who were not disloyal to God, but so far have not tested their will yet, than that they are presented all the charms of the enemy by God and they are expected to make this resistance. Only then a being has taken the path to the highest perfection, if it has passed this test on earth. Countless creations exist, countless maturity levels can be achieved by life on these creations, countless possibilities are opened up the spiritual beings, and all are schools of spirit, but different in their effectiveness and their conditions. And God’s creative will has no limits, and His thoughts lead continuously to action, to form, and His strength of love animates continuously these forms, which are only consolidated thoughts by His will. All beings of light creations are lucky, and yet the state of luck is different and limited, but suffering is only companion of the soul on earth and to a greater extent in beyond realms, where the souls dwell, who have not passed their test of earthly life, who failed in free will; while the beings of light stars God never seriously resisted and therefore suffering is kept from them, until they also take the path on the earth for passing the test of will, to achieve the highest degree of perfection. God’s love, light and power fulfill the whole infinity, and incomprehensible to humans are the versatilities of creations, the life of the residents and the development opportunities, that are offered to the spiritual, to be inexpressibly blessed .... The whole universe is filled with the power of God, the visible and the invisible world is product of His love will, it is created for maturing of the still imperfect spiritual and for the upward development of which, what got lost in the depth and has to return to God. But the earth has a special provision .... it offers the only possibility of its embodied spirit, to achieve the childship to God, the highest degree of perfection; and therefore also pure angelic spirits must go this way, to be children of God, which requires to pass a test of will, which can only be placed on earth. But than most blessed beings abide nearby God, which are perfect and can create and design in free will, which is also God’s will, using the power by God .... as it was primordial determination ....

Connections between worlds of stars and the earth ....

B.D. 6465 from February 1st 1956, taken from Book No. 69

In the global space stars circle in large number, and each of these stars is a creation work, that has its purpose: to serve the standing spiritual in the upward development for residence, to promote its development in various kind .... But always all of these creation works are originated for the spiritual, because the number of the fallen original spirits is immensely, and immense periods of time are required until the return to their original being is reached .... And everywhere is life .... but everywhere also a stage of hardening so each celestial body keeps bounded and even more free spiritual in his area .... But the life attested essence is also formed so differently on the various heavenly bodies and also operates with a quite different activity. And only on the spiritual path these different creation works and creatures can be reported, because the connection between those worlds and the earth can never be made and thus any knowledge about it would be impossible, if it is not spiritual transmitted to humans. There are worlds of stars of enormous proportions, compared with the earth, which could be well called the smallest and poorest star, if not its purpose and special determination would give the compensation for it. What for you is visible in the firmament, is only a tiny part of God’s existing creation in the universe .... there are stars, which could be named as „located near the earth“, because they can still be seen by the eyes of the people, even if only in an infinite reduction, for that you do not know a scale. But these stars are also inhabited by such beings, who have been in some contact with the earth, which is resulted in a cosmic conditional radiation, which mutually takes place at times by all heavenly bodies, that are in the area of one of their assigned sun. What you people account to cosmic-conditioned, is not spiritual without effect too .... for you people there are quasi unknown assistances of beings, who want to give, what they have, and would like to take, what they lack .... what is only yet to understand spiritually .... The run of any heavenly bodies takes place in divine order, which only God’s will can transform itself, if this serves a special purpose. But just this lawful order also prevents, that stars ever touch, that direct connections can be made between such and that from the beings of a heavenly body the sphere could be broken, which is limited for each star. There are probably spiritual connections from world to world, which only serve for purpose of spiritual maturity. And in the last time such spiritual connections will be produced very often, but the people on earth do not know, of which worlds of stars they are addressed, if a being of these worlds expresses. Therefore they do not know it, because it is quite irrelevant, where the messages come from, because a direct approach with the beings of such worlds is never possible. But they influence uninterrupted the inhabitants of the earth, because they recognize their spiritual need and are also informed, what this „star earth“ threatens .... And therefore they take an active interest in their development, because they know about the great chance of the people on earth, can become children of God, and want to mobilize all their influence, that people achieve this aim. The inhabitants of other heavenly bodies are more or less luminous, but they are not declined the dark state of mind of the people on earth, as luminous stars are their residence .... But also their development is not completed, neither they still have achieved the original state .... but their course of development is different than for the people on this earth, and also their activity is another. Their spiritual missions can also be extended to the inhabitants of the earth and take place in an other way, as you people is imaginable .... You can stand under their influence, but otherwise you shall never come in contact with them than mentally, because this is also a law of divine order, that is irrefutable ....

Contact with inhabitants of other worlds .... ‘In My Father’s house ....’

B.D. 7601 from May 17th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Countless heavenly bodies circle the universe, and they all have the task of helping immature souls reach maturity ....

So now you can understand the Words: ‘In My Father’s house are many mansions ....’ And every star receives the souls whose state of maturity is suitable to its conditions; in other words, the potential for maturity differs on every star and the souls are placed accordingly. But the living conditions, too, are always different, because the stars’ nature and consistency vary. A detailed description cannot be given to people on earth because much would be incomprehensible to them and requires spiritual knowledge in order to be understood. But for all souls, whatever their degree of maturity, suitable stars exist for maturing, where souls of good will are able to ascend. For even there the spiritual beings’ free will is taken into account, even there spiritual constraint is not applied, although the respective living conditions constrain the beings to the extent that they have to accept them or they could not survive in their world. And everywhere the beings will receive a light which reveals the purpose of their existence .... Whether they accept and utilise the light is up to them but it is decisive for their ascent. And all these works of God’s creation are ‘mansions in the Father’s house ....’

Hence all spiritual essence will one day achieve the degree of maturity which will enable it to exchange physical creations with purely spiritual ones .... which you humans are unable to perceive with your physical eyes. Because everything that is visible to you are creations which shelter beings which are still immature, since perfected beings are active in the kingdom of light and no longer require ‘visible’ creations for their abode. But the distance between all these works of creation is vast and they are not within reach of each other either .... The inhabitants of all these worlds are tied to their planet, to the star on which they live .... They are only able to change their abode after reaching a certain degree of maturity, and not arbitrarily but in line with God’s fundamental law .... to which all His creations must submit, including the beings who are allocated to them. It is therefore foolish to assume that the inhabitants of these worlds could arbitrarily depart from them and approach other worlds without fearing their own destruction. Because the living conditions are different on all stars and these cannot be excluded arbitrarily. However, during the last days even such plans are being worked on.

(17.05.1960) God’s opponent takes advantage of people’s gullibility by feigning that they can have contact with inhabitants of other worlds and that these, for apparently good reasons, also want to make contact with the inhabitants of earth. He intends to undermine the belief in an end of the old earth and thereby prevent people from preparing themselves for this end .... But people should be informed that earth is a planet on its own which has no connection with other worlds, and that any connection with other worlds can only be spiritually established .... Hence the human being is, in fact, able to make contact with inhabitants of advanced worlds, with the kingdom of light, by way of good and appealing thoughts for help at times of spiritual hardship .... which will then be given to him spiritually .... but that it is not advisable for him to call on beings on other stars whose spiritual degree of maturity and their ability to offer spiritual help is unknown to him. Physical help is definitely out of the question, as God’s adversary would like people to believe that these beings could exert their influence on the inhabitants of earth before a final destruction. Only God can provide the right kind of help when the time arrives which is feared by you humans, and if you believe it He will grant this help to everyone who asks for it.

And He truly has enough angels who exclusively comply with and implement His will, and they will also take care of people when the hour comes .... But God’s adversary has found fertile ground in people’s gullibility onto which he can sow many bad seeds. People would rather accept his misguided instructions than pure truth, which shows the value of his seeds. Because error is always accepted over truth, the human being will always seek to gain advantage from error and reject the truth, which does not promise him any profits. The end is near, and it will come without fail .... Every teaching is wrong which questions an end or provides people with a way out that does not correspond with God’s will .... For God Himself will lead everyone out of danger who entrusts himself to Him, who takes refuge with Him, who belongs to His Own who need not fear an end ....

Amen

Influence of the opponent by the credulity of the people

Doctrine of re-incarnation .... Misguided teaching .... Celestial bodies ....

B.D. 4590 from March 17th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

Do not be mislead by supposed contradictions, rather, see the reason in the fact that your ability of comprehension does not always suffice in order to understand something properly, and that there need not be a contradiction, but you only suppose it to be. It should be sufficient for you to know that I will never teach you wrongly and that I will always give you the information such that it will benefit your soul ....

The doctrine of karma does not encourage you to increase your spiritual endeavour. It is far more likely to encourage you to conduct your life half-heartedly in the spiritual sense. For this reason alone it is of little benefit for the soul, and it does not meet My full approval that you humans count on a return to earth and as a result become negligent in your effort. Although I support the soul's higher development in every way, and wherever I recognise a reliable opportunity to advance your soul's maturity I Am willing to give My consent, but it always has to be on the basis of My lawful eternal order and never for the sake of a deliberately created opportunity .... Hence it must be understandable to you that I will not inform you of a repeated process of development on this earth, which presupposes your total failure during your earthly life, but that I would like to protect you from this failure, and therefore caution, warn and instruct you in order to prevent a failure.

It would be a wrong instruction if I were to offer you the prospect of another path to reach your goal while the right path is still ahead of you, thus you should, and could, walk this path with correct use of your will. I only inform you of the infinite number of previous embodiments because I want you to become aware of your great responsibility for the short path of earthly life. This knowledge is only intended to increase your effort, but you should not draw the wrong conclusion and neglect your endeavour in the hope of repeating your incarnation on this earth if you do not reach your goal. My spirit will definitely enlighten you, and if you ask Me faithfully I will let you know through My servants to what extent your thoughts are correct.

If you knew of the endless many opportunities to achieve maturity on the innumerable celestial bodies in the universe, you would never come to the conclusion that a soul will be returned again to earth. However, the immature soul has to go through many more embodiments indeed where it is able to prove itself and thereby make further progress. Thus the doctrine of re-incarnation is in fact based on truth but it does not mean that the soul will be born again in the flesh on this earth. It merely indicates the many opportunities of higher development on other creations, where the soul, either in physical or in spiritual form, is again presented with a task, the fulfilment of which will assure its ascent. It is an exception if a soul returns to this earth again to fulfil a spiritual mission, it cannot be generalised. Souls having passed away in a state of immaturity will also deem themselves living on earth. The areas they occupy make them believe that they were transported to extremely dreary, barren stretches of land, but they are actually on another planet which is suited to their souls' maturity and which is inhabited by the most primitive creations, resulting in a meagre, depressive stay for the souls .... This is an opportunity for purification of very materialistic minded people, who have to overcome their desire in order to be placed on another work of creation for the purpose of further ascent, depending on their will.

You still love this earth too much and therefore associate the word 're-incarnation' only with this earth as the dwelling place for a re-incarnated soul. But you should consider My love's incredibly extensive work of creation, which only came about for the countless spiritual beings who have to take the path to perfection, and who will take this path in some form or other .... in physical creations, as long as the soul is not yet spiritualised and receptive for light, and in spiritual creations, where the spiritual soul can constantly ascend too, where it purifies itself ever more and makes itself receptive for the emanation of Myself.

Imagine eternity, behold the starry sky whose countless stars are the creations of My will of love, destined to accept souls in need of development .... and you will realise that this earth is not the only carrier of beings who are supposed to ascend and that it is truly not necessary to return the failed souls to earth again, although it is the only place for achieving the childship to God, but it cannot be deliberately and repeatedly chosen as a place to mature.

And thus the doctrine of frequent re-incarnation on this earth will have to be declared as a misguided teaching, which needs to be opposed as being harmful for souls, because it weakens people's will and endangers the being's sincere change in view of the expectation to be able to make up for any neglect in a repeated life until ultimate perfection ....

Amen

Astrology .... Destiny in the stars ....

B.D. 4748 from September 27th 1949, taken from Book No. 54

Only what is relevant for the redemption of the spiritual substance, hence only what provides more or less detailed knowledge about My plan of Salvation and thereby also testifies to Me and My fundamental nature, should be regarded as given by My spirit. Knowledge outside this framework, which neither awakens in people the belief in My love, wisdom and omnipotence, nor promotes the individual’s maturity of soul .... furthermore, knowledge which contradicts Christ’s teaching such that it negates the human being’s free will, which thus would leave the person at the mercy of his destiny without his own will .... finally, knowledge which believes that it can reveal a future veiled to people by My wisdom .... is not the working of the spirit and therefore not in accordance with My will. Rather, it is My adversary’s means to divert people from true knowledge and to mislead them. People will never be able to ascertain or calculate how an individual person’s destiny unfolds itself, all such claims are wrong conclusions or conjectures. They could certainly be coincidentally accurate but then never on account of calculations or influences from specific stars; instead a person’s destiny always corresponds to My plan of eternity which is based on the human being’s free will.

In the great space of creation myriad stars are indeed visible to the people of this earth, but these stars do not exert an influence on people, (28.09.1949) which can be understood by anyone who considers that countless stars are moving within their designated orbit, that this regularity has been recognised by My wisdom since the beginning of eternity to be good and right, that all stars support living beings for the purpose of higher development and that their destiny is also determined, but it will never be affected by other stars. The inhabitants of earth can only physically sense atmospheric currents which appear in the proximity of certain stars but they have no bearing on the destiny of an individual person.

The conformity to law in the entire universe, the eternal order which can be seen in My creation, is certainly sufficient evidence of a guiding power .... But the same order also takes place in the process of development of the beings, for whom creation as a whole came into existence in the first place .... The fact that these creations have a certain influence on the development of spiritual beings is correct, but only in as much as that they provide the latter with the opportunity for perpetual transformation and therefore gradual ascent. However, in the stage of free will people are confronted by events the way I, in My wisdom, deemed them to be beneficial for the being. The fact that all life on Earth takes place with a certain regularity causes people to come to wrong conclusions .... they interpreted this regularity in line with their own ideas and concluded that they relate to the destiny of the human being. Yet these investigations do not correspond to the truth by any means and are not approved by Me either, for I will always accept the human being’s free will, even though I have determined his fate since eternity ....

Cosmic currents .... (astrology) ....

B.D. 5321 from February 21st 1952, taken from Book No. 59

The spirit in you must be active, if you want to have clarity in all things, if you think right and move into divine truth. The right understanding can not be given to you people, but you must satisfy the preconditions first, that ensure you fully understanding, and this condition is precisely that you awake the spirit within you, that he might teach you, guide your thinking in the right way and give you an understanding of higher wisdom, that you as man alone can not understand only with your intellectual thinking .... It is a completely useless starting, to want to enter into divine secrets of creation without help of the spirit, that, as share of God, knows everything and can you people also communicate the knowledge. Without activity of the spirit you will never get an insight into the divine plan of creation and salvation, or, as the knowledge therefore is supplied from the outside to you, you can not comprehend it. But what the spirit of God gives you about it, is the most full truth and will increase your knowledge, because it started from God, it is a direct supply of the truth, which has its origin in God .... The whole creation, earthly and spiritual, has become form by God’s will, founded in His love and aim-determined by His wisdom .... Therefore it is every creation in its origin and its usefulness considered full of wisdom and inserted to the whole creation, as God regarded it as curative for the upward developing spiritual of eternity. Each act of creation is the completion of another, and the whole spiritual and earthly creation is an incomprehensible spiritual complex, that awaits its dissolution.

Man is only able, to take the tiniest fraction in his sense, (02/21/1952) and so he must be content with explanations, that give him only a faint notion, that only outline its purpose and aim, what is the result of God’s creative hand. It is not the man’s intention, to want to fathom the deepest secrets, while he is still in earthly-material body on earth, because his mental horizon is limited, because he lacks any power of imagination, to be able to understand existing creations outside the earth. But countless stars are visible to his bodily eyes, they circle also as creations of God in the infinite universe and move in infinite distance of man in lawfully established tracks. These stars are probably obvious to him, but not to explore with his intellect. There are those worlds, where either a kind of education or the advancement of human souls is going on, because there are countless spheres, that serve those in countless different maturity standing souls to stay. Watch all the stars, that your eyes see, as training stations of the spiritual, than you will have already clearly explained meaning and purpose of the stars .... The whole creation, all stars in earthly material or spiritual nature, are driven by a will, and they all are under the law of of eternal order, whose author is the divine Creator Himself. Nothing can happen illegally in the entire universe, everything must take place legally, otherwise God Himself would expose the creation for dissolution, as He acted contrary to His law. This knowledge man must have, to be able to understand now, that there might be neither arbitrary world events nor arbitrary cosmic events, because any event is already calculated to the eternal basic law and so it appears, as God has recognized it expediently since eternity for spiritual development. In times exaggerated mental research man probably believes, to be able to detect a certain rule and to have discovered and now to be able to guarantee a knowledge for future events. You can probably recognize a certain legality and now subordinate to this law, but then the man himself inserts into the law, but not, that he thinks he can dominate the law, by wanting to calculate, what should be hidden from him naturally .... by bringing the fate, the life of a man in connection with the circling stars and their run by divine law ....

You people ask yourselves, whether it would be good, you could know ahead of your course of life, all the events and details .... and do not ask yourself at last, how then your free will would be to defend, ask yourselves, whether you could then talk probably of a life’s mission, of a spiritual upward trend in free will .... All this would be invalid, if you would be able to make calculations by the course of the stars, that should determine your earthly life .... There are divine laws, by which the life, the fate of the man is organized, but never more people can inspect in this law, never more there is the knowledge about it available, otherwise God would not hide the future for the people just as a law too, that is founded in His wisdom and love.

But undeniably correlations exist in the whole universe between some creations, and also each star radiates certain forces, which are caught by other heavenly bodies, that is not without influence. These are cosmic currents, naturally indicated by divine laws, and these currents have an effect on humans from time to time, more or less stimulating him, but also sometimes crippling, so a purely natural influence of the stars on people can not be denied, but that does not influence the spiritual development in any way, only can be physically felt. And these cosmic currents may also have a constructive or destructive effect, but natural disasters can not be calculated timewise with the fullest certainty, otherwise even those temporal definite predictions would cause the greatest confusion among the people and therefore mean an obstacle for spiritual development in free will. People can also sometimes be exposed to cosmic influences, but never more they are pushed to decisions, that are determinant for the spiritual development. But the desire to reveal hidden things can not be satisfied by suggestion (people) (Suggestion was crossed out and people was written about it) .... because what God keeps hidden, the people can not detect, unless God Himself shows it to them, to help them to the height .... so He Himself makes known future things, to protect the people from the danger of a fall in the depth ....

Unusual phenomena .... (UFO's)

B.D. 7206 from November 12th 1958, taken from Book No. 76

Anyone who mentally ventures beyond earthly spheres will also be influenced by forces of the beyond, for he is constantly surrounded by such forces. But this influence is of a spiritual nature, because contact between this world and the world of the beyond is established through the human being's will. However, you humans must differentiate between establishing contact with Me through prayer .... and contact with the spiritual world due to your will to gain knowledge from these spiritual powers, thus opening yourselves up to the influence of this spiritual world. No such established contact will remain unused, irrespective of whether I Myself or spiritual forces react to it, because the initiated connections from earth to the spiritual world are extremely important for the development of the human being's soul. For the effectively spiritually blind human being shall acquire spiritual vision, and his spiritual eyes can only be opened through an inflow of light which either flows to the human being from Me directly or through the spiritual beings of light. Hence, any link from earth to the spiritual world is welcomed by the beings of light, who are aware of peoples' state of darkness on earth and would very gladly like to give them light in accordance with My will .... However, they are governed by My will to give what is beneficial for people. And My will also stops them where too bright a light might damage a person by dazzling his eyes and rendering him incapable of perception.

My adversary, however, uses deceptive lights precisely because he wants to impair people's vision, because he wants people's eyes to become entirely incapable of recognising the soft light coming from Me, which has a beneficial effect and brightly and clearly shows the right path to Me. Therefore he endeavours to let as many deceptive lights shine as possible in order to confuse people .... He endeavours to lead people into a direction where they apparently can gain information, where the human being believes he can get hold of knowledge and yet receives completely misleading spiritual values .... My adversary has many such means which he uses to cause ever greater mental confusion in people. He often ignites such glaring, deceptive lights that people are engulfed by darkest night if they look into this light for a long time, since it does not provide them with permanent enlightenment but suddenly returns them into total darkness again. And countless dark forces are supporting him by participating and appearing as supposed beings of light .... by prompting people to establish the above mentioned links with the spiritual world by way of improper thought transferences which either flatter people or promise them advantages, so that they will follow these thoughts and thus enter a region which is governed by dark powers. Just the intention of wanting to acquire knowledge without turning to the right source can lure people into a dangerous region from which they can only save themselves again with great difficulty .... The will to step out of the ordinary, to experience the extraordinary and wanting to excel with exceptional knowledge leads people into this dangerous position where dark forces overpower them and thus dazzle their vision.

And in view of the end there is an increased risk, for the universe is full of poison-spitting spirits which are loyal vassals to My adversary in order to corrupt people. His influence is powerful because the human being does not resist him, but he could become master over him by just entrusting himself to Me in Jesus Christ, Who defeated him through My crucifixion. But instead of calling upon Me the human being calls upon other powers in the universe, and he will indeed be heard by these powers and helped .... frequently in a way which brings ever greater darkness instead of brightness. He moves increasingly further away from the truth, he allows himself to be captivated by delusions, by illusions brought into being by My adversary .... He offers immature spirits the opportunity to express themselves and accepts their information as pure truth .... He is most dreadfully deceived by My adversary and always believes himself to be enlightened .... But he will not accept the truth which consists of the fact that My Word cannot fade away, that it will come to pass and that My Word has announced an end ever since the beginning of this era .... And this end will come and no one will be able to stop it .... And anyone seeking protection will only find it with Me, yet a person will call for help in vain if he turns to powers which promise him protection but are unable to provide it .... For these powers only aim to corrupt you, to withhold the truth from you and not to let you find the light .... And if you listen to them you will then also go astray and remain in their power for an infinitely long time ....

Only God is Ruler of the universe ....

B.D. 8457 from April 3rd 1963, taken from Book No. 89

Another sign of the approaching end is that people will continue to make ever new attempts to penetrate the mysteries of creation but never in a spiritual way by which alone they can receive an explanation .... They intellectually try to ascertain what is still concealed from them, they undertake experiments to explore what exists beyond earth, they want to discover natural laws and only make use of them again for the sake of earthly profit .... They exclude Me Myself, the Creator and Provider, the Ruler of the universe, and believe that they can conduct unauthorised research of creations which exist outside of earth ....

They will carry on with their experiments despite the fact that they fail time and again because it will never be possible for people to occupy other planets without losing their lives .... But even then I will still respect their determination; I will not stop them so that they will recognise the futility of their projects themselves. And although they will believe that they can interfere with My creations they will lose sight of their own intellectual limitations ....

They could gain unlimited knowledge by spiritual means but only the souls would benefit from this, people, however, only look for earthly advantages and for this reason will not chose the path which could lead them to correct understanding .... But all their attempts will fail and only ever cause harm to people who will offer themselves as test objects .... Humanity's place is and remains the earth .... just as all other celestial bodies are self-contained. The beings who occupy every star, be it the earth or other celestial worlds, are subject to the natural laws I decreed to every star. They will be unable to cancel any of these natural laws or associate with beings from other planets, and any attempt will be paid for with their lives, because it is presumptuous to ignore My laws, common sense alone should tell them to refrain from such experiments. This is already a sign of the approaching end, it is a sign of total disbelief in a God and Creator, or they would not dare to destructively interfere with His creations in the belief that they will be able to create works which travel at speed through the universe .... They will be dead works without purpose and goal .... they will only prove how presumptuous people are on earth and how dark their spirit is despite their most astonishing calculations .... which will nevertheless be wrong as they will have to experience time and again.

People already intervene in all existing laws of nature, yet never for the benefit of their fellow human beings, they only cause physical and spiritual damage, for with their experiments they also change their natural living facilities, they poison the air, the water and thus the purely physical living conditions, but with their godless actions also cause immense damage to the souls which will never be able to mature on earth in such great distance from Me, their God and Creator .... This great distance, however, is demonstrated by them, for only satanic influence determines their thinking and doing, only Satan provides them with these thought, because he himself tries to exclude Me and exerts a thoroughly negative influence on people.

The attempt to reach stars beyond earth cannot and will not ever be blessed by Me, but until the end I will still show mercy to those whose souls have not yet completely fallen prey to My adversary .... otherwise every attempt would soon be doomed. But I fight for every soul, and as soon as they turn to Me in heartfelt prayer at times of earthly difficulty I will also help them and let them seemingly succeed, yet always with the aim that people should find their way back to Me and let go of their intentions when they have to recognise that they are dependent on a higher Power, Which can never be understood by their intellect but nevertheless will be grasped by the heart ....

You will still hear much more and perhaps even be surprised by the feats people are able to accomplish. But you should know that they receive their strength from My adversary who, like Me, tries to create works amongst My creations which he himself is unable to do and therefore uses the will of people, whom he can easily influence since they have little or no faith at all .... Yet they are his final attempts, for his time will have run out and he will instigate his fall into the abyss himself, for when he has caused utmost confusion amongst people I will put an end to his activity, and nothing will remain of the works which people accomplished under his influence .... Everything will disintegrate and I will once again restore order on earth, so that it can continue as a school of the spirit and fulfil its purpose in accordance with My will ....

That I promise you a dwelling in My Father's house but at the same time want you to know that a suitable abode is prepared to accommodate every one of My living creations .... that I want to tell you, that what you have not yet achieved on earth you can still strive to achieve in My kingdom, because I have countless possibilities to improve your development in the spiritual kingdom. I have not just the earth at My disposal, but all My creations are places to attain full maturity for the still imperfect soul until it has finally developed to the point that, in heavenly bliss, it will be able to take possession of the most magnificent spiritual creations, for wherever it stays is in 'My Father's house', in the sphere of My infinite love, and it will always stay where the Father has prepared a dwelling place which corresponds to its degree of love and its ability to reign and work in the realm to which it was assigned by Me.

In My Father's house are many mansions .... No being is homeless, the eternal home accepts all souls, yet this home has many different aspects .... it can exhibit the most magnificent flower gardens and wonderful palaces, but it can also include infinitely vast barren regions which take ages to wander through .... yet even in these barren regions paths branch off which lead to areas full of flowers, and it just depends on whether the ramblers pay attention to these paths, whether they attentively try to find a way out from this barren region and also take this way out .... Everyone will be accepted in My eternal home, and everyone has the right to take ownership of a dwelling. But what it consists of is entirely subject to their will.

And therefore I say: In My Father's house are many mansions .... For every human being, every being, prepares its own place of abode depending on the degree of its perfection. Yet no matter how poor his dwelling is .... through his will and his work it can really quickly be transformed, and the most delightful homesteads can arise if only the soul has the desire for it and diligently strives for fulfilment. In that case it will be supported by countless helpers who will create and work with the soul, and it can become a paradise-like dwelling place where previously was a barren and bleak region .... One day every soul will return to its true home, but as long as it is still imperfect it will feel homeless, although it will have already entered the kingdom from whence it once had come. However, I have many schoolhouses, and higher development will advance for sure, even if it often requires a long time .... One day the lost son will return home and reside in the mansion he once owned, he will stay in the Father's house where all children are gathered around the Father, he will be lovingly received by the Eternal Love, Which will give him a seat next to Himself ....

Yet infinite times will still pass by until all My children have found home again, until they can take up residence in My house; infinite times will still pass by, yet I will not abandon any one of My children .... The Father's love attracts them, and not one of My children will be able to resist this love forever ....

Amen
