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.

Creation is a revelation of God ....

B.D. 7113 from May 6th 1958, taken from Book No. 76

The miracles of divine creations leave you apathetic, you take everything for granted and are not aware that even the smallest work of creation testifies to God's love, wisdom and omnipotence, Whom you should therefore love with all fervour because He only let these creations of His come into being for you. Yet you pass by all these miraculous works, they mean nothing to you, they are dead objects for you which hardly touch your heart, indeed, they are often not even evidence of a God and creator to you but you think of them as having arisen from themselves, without the will and strength of a living God .... Your whole earthly life is a single miracle, for no-one on earth is able to create a human being with all functions and abilities of his own accord .... yet you do not pay attention to even this greatest miracle .... but you walk your pilgrimage on earth indifferently, unaware of the purpose for which you were created as you are .... And the whole of creation around you should cause thousands of questions to arise in you, the answers to which would only make you most blissfully happy .... But you have eyes to see and yet walk blindly. And thus God can only rarely address you humans through creation in order to induce you to turn to Him in your thoughts. Although He has placed His works of love before your eyes, they are not enough for you to contemplate them in your thoughts of Him, which would then enable Him to also speak to you in thought .... And therefore He seeks to reveal Himself to you in another way .... by intervening 'disturbingly' in your earthly life, by trying to shake you out of your indifference and calmness .... You are fatefully afflicted by adversities or failures which you, as a mere human being, are not able to cope with, which you are not able to change on your own authority. Again, God wants to show you that a higher power is at work, to Whom you should now take the path, to Whom you should mentally entrust yourselves .... because this very bond between you and Him is indispensable and God seeks to achieve it in some way. This bond would be very easy for every human being to establish precisely through creation, through the countless miraculous works which God has brought into being and which you can constantly behold and take pleasure in ..... Creation is a revelation of God which can only be surpassed by the direct transmission of His word; but the latter already presupposes an accomplished bond with Him, whereas the works of creation can cause every human being to establish this bond and also to recognize God's infinite love, wisdom and omnipotence, which obviously prove themselves to the human being if only he immerses himself in thought with his eyes open into those countless miracles of divine love. And there is no more satisfying thought than that everything man sees has been created for him .... partly in order to please him as a human being and to let him find God, partly in order to make human existence possible for the spiritual, which is still behind in its development .... that is below the human being who walks the earth. The 'foreboding' and later the 'knowledge' of this can be gained by the human being who once seriously occupies himself with such thoughts which have creation and its creator as their content. A revelation will reveal itself to him which will make him happy and can determine his whole course of earthly life, he will be seized by an incomprehensible awe and love for his creator, and He Himself will speak to him by giving his thoughts the right direction, by causing him again and again to unite with Him, and thus the possibility is also given that God will reveal Himself directly to the human being through the inner word .... For anyone who observes the miracles of creation in the right spirit will also have a heart that glows with love for the creator, for his environment. And love will then be a firm bond, love itself will reveal itself in the heart of a person who has kindled the flame of love within himself ....

Amen

The cause for the emergence of the material creation

Cause for the entire creation .... Lucifer's fall ....

B.D. 7399 from August 27th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

In the beginning you were free beings, full of light and strength, capable of creating and working in inconceivable bliss, and doing this in harmony with My will. In the beginning you were images of God, created in all perfection, which is precisely what characterised you as God-like beings and made you supremely happy. This state, however, did not come about on your own merit but as a result of creation since nothing imperfect was able to come forth from Me and every created being corresponded to the Fundamental Being Which had externalised it into space .... I was the Creator of all these beings and thus the living creations had to be absolutely perfectly shaped beings which corresponded to My fundamental nature. But I was not satisfied with this creation, I was not content with beings which had to be as I created them, but I wanted to be surrounded by beings which were like Myself but had shaped themselves into such beings of their own accord . . . This sounds incomprehensible to people who do not delve deeper into the cause of the entirety of Creation, who have not yet contemplated what forms the basis of the act of Creation .... And it is, in fact, only understandable to spiritually awakened people to whom all correlations can therefore be explained. A perfectly created being was incapable of acting in any other way but in a good way as long as it was only active within My will, that is, as long as it receives its thoughts from Me and processes them in accordance with My will. But such a being only is and will always remain a 'living creation' of Mine .... which, despite its perfection, did not satisfy Me.

However, I had equipped all beings with free will, because this is an essential part of a being's perfection. And this free will was therefore meant to help Me complete the work I had commenced, but which had to be continued by the beings themselves in order to turn the 'living creations' into 'children' who were to create and work with Me and beside Me in supreme beatitude. Their free will was not restricted in either direction .... And this free will had to subsequently prove itself, the being, which was able to desert Me, was supposed to stay with Me of its own volition and thereby prove its divinity .... The beings were quite capable of doing so, since they were brightly enlightened and undeniably recognised Me as their God and Creator .... But there also was another goal before their eyes .... a goal which they were able to see, in contrast to Me, Who was an invisible God to them and Whom they also wanted to behold .... This visible angel-spirit was Lucifer, My first emanated work of creation, who radiated in supreme brilliance and in this beauty also remained visible for the beings. He, too, had to take the test of free will, he, too, had to prove his divinity by voluntarily subordinating his will to Mine, by keeping it within My eternal order, in harmony with his divine nature. But he directed his will wrongly .... He was able to do so by virtue of his freedom and I did not restrain him in any way when he turned his will away from Me and became My direct opposite .... I did not prevent him from influencing all the other beings in this direction as well and allowed them absolute freedom to decide .... for Me or for him .... For only this decision determined the fate of the beings which emerged from My love and whom My love wanted to turn into My children .... which, of course, is and will always remains the work of these beings themselves. Thus I allowed My created beings absolute freedom in regards to their decision and only a small fraction passed this test of will and remained with Me, whilst the majority followed Lucifer and thereby plunged into the abyss, that is, they lost light, strength and freedom and can only regain these after an infinitely long period of time, but then they will be able to stay with Me in supreme beatitude as 'children' into whom they shaped themselves of their own free will in accordance with My plan when I created them .... and therefore I will not rest until I have, sooner or later, achieved My goal ....

Amen

Light sparks ....

B.D. 5866 from February 1st 1954, taken from Book No. 64

Consider yourselves as sparks of light which detached themselves from Me, which nevertheless remained light, only diminished in their luminosity, but which can never go out completely but always receive new nourishment from Me so that even the smallest spark of light can flare up again and in spreading its fire can unite with just such sparks and thus also unite with Me Myself, as the source of light, again and shine in brightest luminosity. You are all sparks of light which originated from Me and were therefore sprayed and sent out so that they should embrace each other in order to increase their luminosity .... or also .... My unlimited fire of love, which is strength in itself, gave rise to beings which were likewise love and should now work in their strength of love, which signifies a constant increase of strength of love, an expansion of the flame of love which enabled inconceivable activity. Love therefore emanated into infinity, and love was to create and work and therefore also fill everything with light. But love could not be determined .... it was only effective as long as it moved in complete freedom in order to immediately decrease its effectiveness where it met resistance. And thus the diminishing of strength, the diminishing of light, can be explained in a world where love finds resistance, for although it is direct emanation from Me, although it is something divine of immense strength and light effect, this effect diminishes like that of a tiniest, fading spark where the same love does not flow towards it, where a counterforce opposes it .... a counterforce which, as an originally strong spark of light, also emanated from Me, endlessly distanced itself from Me, which did not want to remain in contact with the original strength and also rejected the ever-flowing influx of strength .... which therefore resisted and thus cancelled the effectiveness of the strength of love and the fire of love until the resistance subsides. If you regard yourselves as sparks of light then you will also learn to regard yourselves as something divine which was destined to be supremely effective and only reduced the abundance of strength and light through your own resistance, because resistance signifies turning away from Me, and it will be understandable to you that you can place yourselves in the state of abundance of light and strength at any time, if you strive towards your starting point again, if you constantly kindle the fire of love within yourselves, if thereby the flames of love within you converge with the fire of eternal love, if you relinquish all resistance, if you allow My light of love to ignite within yourselves and the tiny spark which you carry within yourselves as My share also ignites ..... if you allow eternal love to take effect on you without resistance so that you recognize yourselves as light which took its origin from Me as the primordial light ....

Amen

Diversity of apostasy from God ....

B.D. 8621 from September 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

My plan of return is based on deepest love and wisdom, and whether you are also not always able to recognize it .... But what is not comprehensible to you sometimes causes you to doubt My love and justice .... and then you ask questions which I can only answer again by giving you information about the difference of the apostasy from Me .... For the beings had certainly all become sinful through their conscious opposition, through the defence of My love power and their arrogance towards My love. And yet there were differences in the kind of rebellion, according to the degree of defence on the part of Lucifer, which he possessed at the creation of the beings .... and the more his strength diminished, which certainly flowed to him undiminished from Me but which he no longer accepted in his arrogance because he no longer believed he needed it in view of the large host of beings which had emerged from him. But exactly as his resistance against Me increased, so also his power decreased, and he still used his existing power for the emergence of new beings, but which had more and more his will in them, which was opposed to Me. So they were accordingly of that kind and still also had to be regarded as divine creatures because it was My power out of which they had emerged. And they, too, were able to recognize Me as God and creator, they, too, could have freely decided in favour of Me .... because I would not have allowed Lucifer to force a being to resist Me .... Every being was free and able to recognize Me and remain with Me .... Yet the beings all reacted differently to My love flowing towards them .... Some of those beings remained loyal to Me again, they acknowledged Me and remained in the sphere of My emanation of love. And again also of the first created beings many turned away from Me and followed him, who originally stood in highest light and whose will was also not weakened through influence of My opponent. And so also the attitude of all fallen beings towards Me as their God and creator was completely different. The rejection of My love power alone already made the being sinful, but the resistance against Me increased to deepest hatred .... Countless beings took on the same nature to which Lucifer himself had changed .... These spirits fell into endless depths and therefore need a far longer way until their final return .... Usually one period of development is not enough for these beings, they go through several periods of development .... Therefore there are also men on earth who already have many such periods of development behind them, who now can certainly also get rid of their last outer form through Jesus' work of redemption .... but as also again the possibility exists that they do not reach perfection on earth and have to cover the course again in the creations of earth. And as unjust as this may seem to you men .... you cannot assess the magnitude of your guilt, for you must always bear in mind that the light of realization was inherent in all beings, that they fully consciously threw themselves up against Me, but that they can also .... when they walk across earth as a human being .... think that they are subordinate to a higher power, and they can hand themselves over to this power, and then they will already have acknowledged Me again, and after their death they can be accepted into the kingdom of the beyond where they still have the opportunity to ascend .... When you men believe to discover injustice towards My creatures, then always consider that even the hardest lot still does not outweigh by far the great guilt of the former resistance against Me .... and know that also this sin of apostasy from Me has taken place in many degrees or gradations .... that you can never measure the greatness of this sin and that mostly one walk through earth creation is not enough .... Consider that you yourselves could already have covered this course (several times) {and had to go through creation again and again} until you reached that degree of development, that you now can complete yourselves when you are of the will to finally become free out of form. But again there is also the possibility that primitive men are inwardly of good mind and good will, that they in no way rebel against the power, Which has created them, that they believe in a power over them, no matter how they imagine this power, and that they cover their earth life in fulfilment of the tasks, which are given to them in their surroundings. Then they will be trained further in the kingdom on the other side and can also come again to the light; they will then also recognize the greatness of their former guilt; they will find to Jesus and now be busy in the kingdom on the other side and want to help again those who know them in the same situation. Just as they once resisted Me despite brightest realization they can, after an infinitely long process of development, also hand themselves over to Me without deeper realization, because a tiny spark of love is planted in every human heart which can be effective from within and the human being radiates love to his surroundings, irrespective of his faith .... And if he is still of a spirit completely opposed to Me he will, like many other, more highly developed people, have to start walking again {across the earth} (through creation), but one day even this original spirit will reach its aim and also realize that its former opposition to Me could not be atoned for in any other way and that at last one day the redemption through Jesus Christ also had to be accepted by it, be it on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond .... One day he will be free of his guilt and freely confess Me and be happy again, as he was in the beginning ...._>Amen

The consequences of apostasy from God

Love illumination without resistance ....

B.D. 7505 from January 22nd 1960, taken from Book No. 79

In the beginning there were only beings filled with light and strength .... Darkness and lack of strength were only the consequence of the sin of apostasy from Me, for thereby the beings had reversed their initial nature into the opposite .... they had deprived themselves of light and strength, they had stepped out of the realm of light and strength, for they distanced themselves from Me at will and made My effect of strength of love impossible, which is fundamentally bound to the fact that love only touches love but remains ineffective against all resistance. When the beings strove away from Me they resisted My illumination of love, and this conscious will of resistance darkened their spirit, they lost all realization as well as their strength which originated from Me and My illumination of love. Hence the being became deficient, it turned into the opposite of what it was created as .... and therefore could no longer remain close to Me, for its conscious turning away from Me caused it to step out of My love's circuit, it strayed away from Me, and its free will was taken into account so that it was no longer able to feel Me and My love, which, however, had previously been the case, for My strength of love blessed the being. And now it got into an unfortunate state which it could no longer change of its own accord because it was without strength. Nevertheless, the re-transformation has to be carried out one day, for nothing can remain eternally separated from Me that has emerged from Me. It was the beings emanated strength of love from Me which irrevocably once again pushes back to Me, and whether eternities pass over it. But before My strength of love can illuminate it again without being rejected, the being has to be forcibly guided back so far that it can be given a small light which then has to be nourished by itself in order to shine into a bright light of love which imparts so much knowledge to it that it learns to love Me again and lets it desire Me. The illumination of love is absolutely necessary but can only take place in a certain degree of maturity of the soul, and the being has to reach this degree of maturity through a long process of preliminary development, through which a slight approach to Me is achieved again, so that I can then once again have an effect on the being when it walks across earth in the state of free will, as a human being. The fallen being lacks light and strength, it first has to attain light and strength again in order to be able to completely rise from the abyss, in order to change again into its original being, which was love and therefore has to become love again. And this can only be achieved by My illumination of love which is accepted without resistance and can then also take effect. Therefore, as long as the human being .... the spiritual being in the last stage of development .... still lacks realization, this illumination of love cannot yet take place unhindered, otherwise the lightless state would be remedied .... And then the human being is also not in possession of strength which likewise requires My illumination of love. But it is also certain that one day all resistance will subside, that one day the human being will voluntarily enter the realm of My flow of strength of love, that he will long for light and strength and hand himself over to Me with love in order to then be able to be continuously illuminated for his own bliss. For now his nature also changes, it enters its original state again where it was immeasurably blissful in light and strength .... It is close to Me again and can create and work with Me, for it no longer resists the influx of My love, it opens itself in free will and the return to Me is accomplished, which is and will always remain the purpose and aim of existence on this earth until the work of the return of all spiritual substances is completed ....

Lost knowledge through the fall to the deep ....

B.D. 7812 from January 31th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Light is knowledge .... knowledge of truth .... light is divine wisdom, which can only emanate from God, Who is the light from eternity .... And this light once shone through you when you came forth from God as independent beings .... And you were able to recognize everything, no knowledge was closed to you, you brightly and clearly recognized all correlations, and you were blissfully happy because you stood in supreme wisdom and also recognized that you had come forth from a supremely perfect being, that this being was the creator and designer of you all, Who made you namelessly happy .... This awareness was an extremely blissful state which would never have been lost to you if you yourselves had not voluntarily given it up. For in spite of the brightest light, in spite of the brightest knowledge, you yourselves chose darkness .... You turned away from the source of light, from your creator and father, and you voluntarily turned to a being which itself fell into darkness and also spread this darkness over you .... you voluntarily gave away light and bliss. The state you now found yourselves in would never have changed again, for the darkness held you captive and at the same time you had also forfeited strength and freedom .... You were helplessly exposed to the power of the one who had placed you in this dark state, who was the cause of your fall into the abyss .... And now you humans ask yourselves why the creator of these beings allowed them to fall away from Him, why they gave up the light and sank into darkness .... you ask yourselves why He Himself did not prevent them from distancing themselves from Him, to Whom all power belonged and Whose nature is love and wisdom .... And this question can only ever be answered to you that God's love is so great that He wanted to make the beings even more happy and that His wisdom foresaw from eternity the aim of this fall into the abyss, which consisted of being able to work and create with beings like Him for once, but which He could never place out of His power in this degree of perfection .... because the latter required free will and this therefore had to decide (prove?) itself first. God truly did not force any of His created beings into this fall into the abyss. The beings that fell away were also by no means predetermined .... it would also have been possible for the first-created spirit .... Lucifer .... would have been free to remain with God, for the creator and father of eternity is truly great enough to provide supreme bliss for the beings which remained faithful to Him, and no being needed to take the fall into the abyss but their will was completely free and they chose God or His first-created light bearer .... But the unsurpassable wisdom of God had also included a fall into the abyss in His plan, which was for the creation of right 'children' of God .... a work which the beings have to accomplish themselves but which brings them exceeding great bliss. People will never be able to comprehend this fall into the abyss, for they will also never be able to fathom God's wise plans because they are not capable of doing so in their still imperfect state. For due to the fall into the abyss the being has lost 'realization', the light, the knowledge of all correlations, and you humans are still in this state of darkness, even though you can already become enlightened through the working of the spirit .... But in order to grasp everything you must have already entered the state of perfection again, and then you will only see the aim, which is exceedingly glorious .... Then you will also recognize God's infinite love and His unsurpassable wisdom, and you will know that He can only act well and wisely .... and that He wants to make His beings, which came forth from Him, abundantly happy .... And then you will no longer ask but faithfully wait for your perfection, where light and strength and freedom will create unlimited bliss for you, where you can work as His 'children' with and through Him, as was and is His aim from eternity ...._>Amen

Transforming power into creations ....

B.D. 8569 from July 25th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

All I-conscious beingness, which had fallen away from Me, had to be dissolved, for as beings they no longer fulfilled their purpose which I had assigned to them, instead they would have worked against Me if they had still been capable of doing so .... However, they rejected My strength of love which would have enabled them to continue their activity .... And so they hardened within themselves, which is why I dissolved them into countless little particles, thus reshaped the power once emitted as 'being' into creations of a different kind, which were now at the bottom of the reason that beingness in other deformations. When you now look at the works of creation around you, then know that they all hold the fallen spiritual, which did not want to serve Me according to My will and now serves in the state of compulsion, i.e. is caused to its activity by natural law. Because every earthly work of creation has its purpose and its destiny; it serves for the coming into being or the preservation of again other works of creation, as this My love and wisdom recognized as purposeful and suitable to bring the spiritual to maturity, which is hidden in them. The former I-conscious beingness in free will resisted the illumination of My love power, and therefore it also resisted all work in My will. It lost the I-consciousness because it was dissolved into its original substance, into the power, which is now again recognizable in all works of creation .... For all power, which flowed out of Me, as the original source of power, must become effective according to My will .... I will know how to prevent an activity against My will and therefore I placed the fallen being into a state where it thus became effective in My will insofar as that it had to serve and thereby its ascent development was also guaranteed, which is the purpose and aim of every work of creation: to bring the spiritual substances bound in it to maturity until all dissolved substances have gathered again and become the self-aware being again as which I once created it ..... in order to then live on earth as a human being again with the aim and purpose to completely integrate itself into My will and thus to find unification with Me .... In the stage as a human being the being is self-aware again, and it now also experiences My will, which it only needs to comply with in order to also reach the final aim .... the union with Me, for My will only demands a way of life in love .... My will is that the being transforms all self-love, which adheres to it as inherited evil of My adversary, into unselfish neighbourly love .... My will is only a transformation of its being, which is devoid of all love, to love for Me and for the neighbour .... The being must inevitably want to accept the love again which once rejected it, only then can it return to Me and be accepted as My child into My kingdom of light and glory .... Only then has the process of return, which every fallen being has to complete, been successful, and the being has returned to Me into its father's house .... When you know about the actual meaning and purpose of earthly life then you will also make an effort to fulfil My will, and you will also be aware of the responsibility of earthly life as a human being .... You will also desire to experience more, for the desire for light will be awakened in you as soon as you just don't resist My illumination of love, which can always take place when the human being turns to Me in thought, in prayer or in activity of love .... For he is to prove his will turned towards Me during earthly life in order to testify to his conscious return to Me .... This last decision of will on earth is demanded of man because he is now again the I-conscious being, which once directed his will wrongly, and he now must openly announce the change of his will to be able to be taken up again into his old child rights, to be able to be illuminated again by Me with My love, as it was in the beginning .... Because now the being will also utilize the love power again in My will .... It will be active in the spiritual kingdom creating and shaping, and it will never ever loosen the bond with Me because its love towards Me has become so powerful that it fills it completely .... You are only to receive knowledge again and again about what you were, what you are and what you are to become .... Because this alone establishes your purpose of earth life, and if you deal with such knowledge, then you also live your earth existence consciously. And this is what I aim at through My direct address from above, that you do not pass through your earthly life indifferently and completely disregard purpose and aim, and I will also never cease to impart knowledge about this to you humans so that you should also recognize Me Myself and you now also consciously approach Me and thereby pass your last test of earthly life .... so that you will finally return to Me and be happy again, as you were in the beginning ...._>Amen

The spiritual and the material creation

What is the creation ....

B.D. 5447 from July 24th 1952, taken from Book No. 60

What is the creation .... Ideas and thoughts emerged from Me, they took on form, and My will of love solidified these forms, as previously still purely a spiritual substance, they became condensed into something visible .... into matter, which is therefore spiritual power solidified in itself, whose point of origin is I Myself .... My ideas and thoughts, however, did not flow into infinity purposelessly but were founded in My love and wisdom; they were the means recognized by Me, as it were, to change a wrong state of the spiritual, once created by Me but who had fallen away from Me in free will.

No cause remains without effect .... My created visible and invisible worlds were the effect arising from the cause .... the apostasy of the spiritual from Me .... the effect that came forth. In My wisdom I recognized a path upon which the fallen-away could again return to Me .... This path rose before My spiritual eye as thoughts and ideas, and through My will of love I turned them into reality, for My love is power, and what I wanted at will came to pass. I now saw the ideas before Me in reality, they had taken on shape and I animated these forms with the spiritual, thus I shaped the spiritual itself into the creations, so to speak, which now became a visible reality as solidified substance ....

Hence the material creation is the spiritual power condensed into a form which solidified because it had turned into a certain inactivity, due to its refusal to accept the supply of power from Me which would have enabled it to be active, which was its purpose before the spiritual substance's apostasy. The spiritual substance resisted Me deliberately; it was at the belief that it could exist without My supply of power and thus became incapable of any activity, which therefore resulted in the solidification of the spiritual substance .... or also: My will bound or solidified the spiritual substance and, as it were, let it take the path which intended a change of will .... The course of upward development in creation began with the aim of the return of the fallen spiritual to Me ....

Everything that arose through My will and My power of love, be it the spiritual or the material creation, first emerged as a thought but was an immediate reality already because no time was needed once wisdom and love moved such thoughts within themself which corresponded to My perfection and therefore were no longer capable of any improvement. The condensed or bound state of spiritual power needed only be a temporary one because it meant a decline for the free-created spiritual, so to speak which, however, could restore the former freedom to the spiritual, having given itself into weakness voluntarily and has to attain the original state again in order to be blissfully happy. Moreover, My ever-outflowing power from Me is also ever-acting, which means that it can only have positive success because it is always constructive but never destructive .... It just must not find any resistance which then also excludes a negative effect but which, according to the law of eternity, cancels out the effect, as this resistance .... rejection of My power of love .... exists. Just as long will the spiritual substance also remain in its solidification, for it is My power of love alone that redeems the solidified spiritual substance, My power of love alone returns the life which was once within it and leads it back to the purpose it was able to fulfill in the beginning .... My power of love dissolves hard matter and spiritualizes it again, and the thoughts and ideas set apart from Me have proved to be successful and achieved that which is the meaning and purpose of every creation work .... they have returned the spiritual to Me again, which once voluntarily distanced itself from Me but could never separate itself from Me because it cannot exist without Me ....

Soul substances ....

B.D. 6464 from January 31th 1956, taken from Book No. 69

Whatever causes you to doubt shall also be clarified for you, because every uncertainty of your own is an obstacle to being able to represent the truth with conviction. Therefore, as long as you live on earth it is necessary to give you clarification through the word, whereas in the spiritual kingdom this clarification can reach you in a flash as soon as you are receptive to light .... Then you will only need to touch a thought and also stand in brightest realization, then spiritual will be radiated through by spiritual. Everything that was created is spiritual emanation of strength from Me .... For nothing could be without this strength of love which I shaped according to My will, to which I gave form, which I set apart from Me .... Thus it was a self-aware being which recognized itself and was also able to recognize that which had originated like it in Me, which was perfect like it. One being was perceptible to another being, every being radiated incomparable beauty and could be seen and felt by the other beings as something immensely pleasing, which was only a reflection of all beings which I had freely placed out of Me as independent. Once created, they could never ever pass away .... but they could change within themselves .... And this change happened through the fall of man, through the former apostasy of those beings from Me .... The radiant light dimmed, it constantly diminished, it lost luminosity the further it moved away from Me, but the being nevertheless remained, because power emanating from Me can never pass away .... Only this strength was no longer active, it had come to a standstill due to the fallen being's will. But a standstill means activity that has come to a standstill .... It means a persistence in the same stage, that is, a certain hardening of that which was originally created for life, for unrestricted activity. This stagnation process was the result of the inhibited effect of strength, and innumerable accumulations of such ineffective centres of strength now arose in infinity, but to which My will now gave a purpose .... This strength should not remain inactive because this was contrary to My eternal order, but since the beings themselves misused their abundance of strength, since in free will they rejected My flow of strength of love and thus completely hardened themselves through their own fault, I now reshaped this hardened spiritual substance .... I dissolved it into innumerable particles and gave each of these particles a purpose .... And thus creation came into being, whose original substance is thus 'power that once emanated from Me', whose effectiveness was taken away by the will of the beingness, which led to its complete hardening .... into something which became visible through My will, thus into matter, which is therefore basically spiritual substance .... the same which came forth from Me as emanation of strength. But these substances can also experience the process of re-transformation again, they can constantly refine and spiritualize themselves more and more so that they finally unite again to produce the same original spiritual being which once emerged from Me free and in abundance of light and strength .... the aim I want to achieve for all fallen spiritual beings. The fact that My strength of love remains inactive is something so contrary to the eternal order that I will constantly let creations arise in order to change this hardened state of the spiritual being; and thus the spiritual being in opposition will be deprived of its free will and determined to be active in the law of compulsion which, however, adapts itself to the resistance the spiritual being still offers Me .... Nevertheless, this resistance slowly diminishes and the strength increasingly betrays its effectiveness. But the activity carried out in the state of must has no lasting success apart from the maturing of the spiritual .... they are only illusory values which arise and only exist until their purpose is fulfilled: to cause the spiritual to become active so that the strength is utilized, which constantly emanates into infinity, because My strength will never stop giving itself away .... but only in a completely spiritualized state will it be felt as an unspeakably blissful ray of love, but then it will also impel an activity which cannot be compared or made comprehensible to any earthly activity ....

Matter and Spirit ....

B.D. 2494 from October 4th 1942, taken from Book No. 33

What is the world and its matter .... this question occupies many people and yet they are unable to solve it by virtue of intellectual thought. Everything visible is matter, i.e. substance that has solidified as a form. The substance, as it were, only became visible due to hardening since previous to that it was invisible, that is, spiritual substance. Spiritual substance is God’s emanated strength which, in accordance with His will, becomes what it is as soon as God has intended it to become a specific form. This form, in turn, is the unification of innumerable substances; hence it is a structure that can be dissolved to release every single substance again, if it is God’s will. Consequently, any form can be destroyed, matter is something that has no eternal existence because it is merely the cover for spiritual substances which are intended to evolve and as a result don’t stay in these covers forever. Although matter itself is also spiritual substance, i.e. in accordance with God’s will solidified spiritual strength, it develops by means of continuous dissolution, dispersion and re-shaping so that it can, after an infinitely long time, occupy such a form itself too. Thus everything visible is spiritual strength that is still at the beginning of development, whereas the more mature spirit is invisible to the human eye and uses a visible form to live in.

Hence, in every form lives something spiritual, a being which is unconscious of itself but which longs for the unification with similar beings to increase the fullness of strength with this union, since every being strives for perfection. As soon as matter dissolves, i.e. when a form disintegrates, the released spiritual being strives towards equal spiritual beings which merge to give life to a new form. This process forms the basis for the uninterrupted becoming and passing in nature, it is therefore the cause of constant life and death in nature .... The spiritual substances pass through the whole of creation, partly alone, partly merged in immense numbers. Corresponding to these are the size and kind of the forms that surround them. Everything that encloses these spiritual beings is matter. But matter itself consists of spiritual substances which are at the beginning of their development and thus can be visible to the human eye because only the already more mature spirit is invisible. Consequently, everything visible must be considered to be imperfect, i.e. spiritual substance which is very distant from God, which is starting its way of development. The spirit concealed within the visible form has already travelled this way and now strives towards God. Therefore a destruction, i.e. a passing away or dissolution of the form, or the transience of matter, corresponds to God’s will because it enables the spiritual substance to continue its development ....

The emergence of the material creation

Originate of matter .... What is matter? ....

B.D. 4489 from November 18th 1948, taken from Book No. 52

There is a law according to which all matter approaches dissolution as soon as its substances have become useless, i.e. have lost their binding power, so to speak. It then disintegrates into itself and can also only experience a new formation in its remaining components together with other matter. The process of the dissolution of matter always and constantly takes place in the universe, where earthly material creations exist, but as also matter constantly arises anew, thus substances are joined together again and again using dissolved matter. The human being can certainly examine matter itself for its components but he cannot determine the origin and the original components of what his eye sees .... He only sees the perpetual becoming and passing away and the emergence of new creations again, but he does not know what was originally if it is not made known to him through his spirit. For matter is a new creation, it is not eternal. It exists, it is visible to the human eye and yet it is fundamentally spiritual, that is, it is power that cannot be seen with the bodily eye. It is an emanation of God, which has become form through His will .... This act is incomprehensible and will remain so .... it is: power moving away from God, which strengthens itself until it hardens the further it moves away from God .... So this power is animated with will, only this will is bound if it strives away from God .... It is spiritual which carries the God-opposing will within itself, whereas the spiritual, God's emanation of strength, which remains in His will, also stays close to Him and results in creations of light, thus it stimulates God's creative will to form structures of the most glorious kind, which, however, are constantly capable of change, yet they are imperishable and delight beings which, being completely in accordance with God's will, receive His emanation of strength for equally creative activity. Hence, what completely corresponds to God's will is not material, what is materially visible carries the God-opposing will in itself to varying degrees and has therefore become spiritual form, strength emanating from God which does not remain as it originates from God when it distances itself from God.

However, power that distances itself from God diminishes in its effectiveness, matter appears without life, it is in a state of death, of powerlessness and thus the resulting inactivity .... without life, which means uninterrupted activity. If the spiritual were completely insentient then the state of powerlessness would not be felt by the spiritual, but because the spiritual has known the state of freedom before as a free spirit close to God .... or also as a human being in the last stage of development on this earth-creation .... and is fully aware of its existence, it feels the powerless state as agony, which can now certainly contribute to giving up resistance against God, which is recognizable through a minimal beginning activity which results in a soon change of hard matter ....

(19.11.1948) The more life a work of creation betrays, the smaller the distance from God has become and the more the spiritual takes on its original nature, it becomes strength and light again the closer it comes to God, until it is finally intimately merged with God again. Matter is therefore power that has gone out from God, which has condensed and finally hardened the further away it is from God. Matter in itself is transient because it can dissolve again into its original state, but strength is imperishable, it remains in existence because it is an emanation of God which can certainly change in form but never completely pass away. But the change of matter is likewise law, it cannot remain eternally as it appears because it always comes into contact with that strength from God, which is still effective as strength, and this effectiveness is expressed precisely as a change of matter. The degree to which the strength from God affects matter depends on the resistance of the spiritual which this matter harbours. But even the strongest resistance against God will be broken one day, which is why from time to time violent dissolutions take place in creation which destroy all matter and let it arise again in another form, because the strength from God is constantly active and also wants to cause the spiritual that has emerged from it to be supremely active, because activity alone is blissful, because it alone is life ....

Origin of matter .... electrons ....

B.D. 5722 from July 13th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

The fruits of the spirit are to be recognized, they cannot be confused with the fruits of the intellect, with the results obtained through intellectual research. What the spirit announces to you fills the gaps of intellectual knowledge, which without the working of the spirit remains fragments of doubtful truth. Therefore it is better to rely on the results of spiritual knowledge without hesitation than to brood and research by other means, because pure truth can only be received through the spirit. But the spirit expresses itself so quietly that the spiritual ear has to listen in order to hear its voice, and therefore the human being should shut himself off from the world so that no disturbing sound drowns out the spirit's fine voice. But then God reveals Himself through the spirit and dispenses profound wisdom.

What is apparent to you as creation has come forth from God's power; thus it is power condensed formed by His will .... Every work of creation must have a basic substance from which it originated .... If the human being wants to bring something into being by virtue of his creative ability, a basic substance must be present or he himself must produce this basic substance again from other existing substances. God, however, was and is the producer of the basic material by emanating a force Himself and then letting everything arise from this force which He wants. Power is something spiritual and becomes earthly tangible substance through His will .... God as the source of strength constantly generates strength and sends it out as something alive, because strength cannot be something dead but is a constantly life-generating and testifying element .... The force therefore has an effect, it animates everything dead, it disturbs the dead in its rest and impels it to become active likewise .... The power is the revitalizing agent which now causes that which was previously dead to stir and slowly awakens to life. Every expression of God's strength is a flow of love which is to be conveyed to that which has fallen away from Him, to the dead, in order to awaken it to life again. This fallen away is therefore to be called dead because it is no longer touched by God's power, because it itself, i.e. in free will, stepped out of God's flow of love and as a result became lifeless, thus hardened within itself and lost all ability to move, which signifies life.

This hardened spiritual, which has fallen away from God, can only awaken to life again and become active itself when it is illuminated by a force. The power of love radiating from God into infinity can be compared to an infinite sea of fire whose sparks circle around at breakneck speed and try to enclose the ossified spiritual being in order to give it life again .... But this is full of resistance against the radiation of love from God, and where the strength meets resistance it loses its effect, i.e. it certainly encloses the unruly entity but does not bring it to life against its will but keeps it imprisoned, yet with the intention of moving it to give up its resistance in time .... Thus, the strength of love is condensed by God's will into a form which now contains the spiritual substance that resists Him ....

And thus creation came into being .... which is visible to people as matter .... this is how the emergence of all matter can be explained, which is intended as a fetter for the beingness, with the aim of breaking the being's resistance for once, that it accepts God's radiation of love and thereby awakens to life again. But the condensation of strength out of God into form is only possible when it encounters resistance, thus the emergence of matter was the result of the spiritual's resistance against God's strength of love, otherwise this strength only ever expresses itself as immense light radiation in the spiritual kingdom where it is not opposed by resistance. The power of love is hindered in its effect by the resistance, and it allows itself to be hindered and enters a state of rest for a certain time because it is love and wants to redeem what is hardened .... Incessantly active strength becomes still and forms itself into something visible .... it encloses the hardened spiritual within itself but at the same time protects it against the influence of the one who is devoid of all love and wants to prevent the giving up of the resistance of the beingness .... And this is the first effect of the strength of love, that it isolates the beingness and withdraws it from the influence of the negative strength. Although the positive power now remains silent, the resistance of the being bound in it nevertheless imperceptibly decreases in order to accept the life-giving power after an infinitely long time and a weak life becomes recognizable even in seemingly dead matter, whereupon God's strength of love becomes more and more effective and this proves itself through more and more awakening life, which is synonymous with a beginning redemption of the bound, the beingness, which is to develop through the course through creation upwards .... (13.7.1953) The upward development in the creations proceeds in such a way that, as soon as the will for activity awakens in the hardened spiritual, the force holding it captive loosens, thus its pressure decreases, which means the beginning dissolution of matter, a slow release of the spiritual from the form enclosing it .... To a certain extent the resistance is broken, the spiritual accepts God's radiation of strength, even if only to a very limited extent, and the hardened spiritual slowly awakens to life .... it stirs until it finally bursts the outer shell .... or rather, until the enveloping strength of love releases it .... in order to bind it again into a new form, because the spiritual must remain bound until it has reached a certain degree of maturity where it can now freely dispose of itself again ....

Matter is therefore bound, hardened spiritual matter .... But the binding happens through God's power of love. If this strength withdraws, then matter disintegrates, it dissolves and the spiritual bound in it becomes free to move into a new material cover. The hardened spiritual substance would never be visible to the human eye, for it is spiritual substances which have become powerless and therefore inactive .... But God's love gathers such powerless substances and shapes them into matter, into something visible .... He created a world of the fallen spiritual, a world of the bound, He created a world which outwardly shows the degree of maturity of the bound spiritual, in which it can slowly develop upwards with the help of divine strength of love, which it can accept or also reject according to its own will, but which also always determines the hardness of matter which encloses it. What is bound is immature spiritual that still remains in resistance, what binds this spiritual is God's strength of love. And thus it can rightly be said that the material world is the realm of God's adversary because it offers this spiritual being, which is still in bondage to him, a place to stay .... And yet, it is God's creation which was only shaped by the unstoppable strength of love emanating from God in order to give life again to the dead, but which first has to be desired before the spiritual experiences a loosening or finally liberation from its bondage. Thus there are innumerable sparks of light whirring in the universe which, with their immense strength, drive apart the clumped together powerless inactive spiritual substance in order to then capture and enclose innumerable individual substances again .... And thus these sparks of light are known to you humans as electrons, as the original substance of matter, but you don't know about their origin and spiritual task if you don't obtain clarification by spiritual means. However, everything visible in God's creation proves to you the invisible, it proves to you a force which works unstoppably and whose activity you must also acknowledge, otherwise you will think wrongly and never reach the light ....

B.D. 4067a from June 23rd 1947, taken from Book No. 50

Forces which unfold in nature can be regarded as an effect of the eternal creative power, as a consequence which is understandable to every human being who is mentally concerned with it. God's flow of power is directed into infinity, and this power must somehow appear, otherwise it would not be recognisable as power. It must give rise to things or set them in motion, it must generate life. This development of power is therefore a revival of everything that has emerged from God's hand and is to reach again the state in which it originally was .... where it was active in creating and shaping. Thus, through the perpetual outpouring of God's power, works of creation must also perpetually come into being, just as a constant activity must also be recognisable in them. This activity is, so to speak, the life of the spiritual embodied in the works of creation, which, if it is recognisable to the naked eye, places the work of creation in the category of living beings. But there are also tiny and most minute living beings which the human eye cannot recognise and which, even if the eye were exceptionally sharpened, cannot be recognised because they move with such speed that they cannot be tracked. But they are of inconceivable power and form, so to speak, the core of the whole of creation, as far as this is apparent to man as matter. They form the basic material, the first form of the power emanating from God, they are condensed emanations of God, living entities in innumerable multiplicity, which are certainly visible as matter when united, but which have not yet entered into this union and which therefore move at the utmost speed because they seek each other and press towards each other. These are therefore spiritual substances of incomparable strength, which buzz around unbound and free and cannot take on any form until they have found each other and now condense more and more. (23.6.1947) Power emanating from God strictly speaking is not divisible, nevertheless its effects are individual creations, which again each for itself disintegrate into innumerable substantial particles, would they be dissected down to the (smallest) finest. And these tiny substances are in constant motion, so they cannot be anything bound that is powerlessly dependent on help. It will only become so when in an infinitely long time a spiritualisation of these substances takes place, i.e., when they are destined to be carriers of spiritual entities, which only occurs when after merging forms have formed, however small. Thus power from God then condenses into form, and this is the emergence of matter, which probably needs an inconceivably long time to emerge before it becomes visible to the human eye. Every form takes in spiritual things that are to develop upwards. Therefore, as soon as man can determine small and smallest particles through research, they are also already animate, otherwise they could not be substantially proven. And the spiritual that animates these electrons is the imperfect spiritual that begins the course of development on earth and is bound in form. There is no more stupendous discovery during earthly life than the realisation that the beginning of the enormous creation is to be found in the most infinite reduction, that every work of creation could therefore be dissected to the most infinite, provided that this plan would be carried out with God's help. But people with only intellectual thinking go so far as to enter an area which they will never completely master. And this riddle will not be solved as long as the earth is still existing ....

B.D. 4067b from June 24th 1947, taken from Book No. 50

And yet, the knowledge-hungry human being will be given information if he appeals to God, for God does not withhold knowledge from the human being on earth, even though it touches areas which are far away from spiritual knowledge.

(24.6.1947)

It must not be failed to appreciate that God, the creator of heaven and earth, bends to His creatures Himself in order to instruct them in truth, provided that it concerns spiritual knowledge. Worldly knowledge, however, is also supported by God as long as the human being is also connected to God in earthly activity, i.e. as long as he also subjects his earthly work to God's blessing and thus testifies to the sense of belonging to God. Then he can address his questions to God at any time and they will be answered. On the other hand, it is different when the human being wants to satisfy his thirst for knowledge in order to broaden his earthly knowledge, thus spiritual knowledge is out of the question. In that case God will leave it up to him how far he penetrates the truth, as long as he tries to fathom it purely intellectually. But then always limits are set for him, for God alone opens them for him because He does not want to be ignored in the investigation of things which God apparently keeps hidden from people. But He always solves spiritual questions, and He does so the more understandably the more mature the soul of the seeker of enlightenment is: .... The laws of nature relate to each other in the same way as the divine principle in the human being, love, relates to the eternal Deity, to the original power, i.e. God and love cannot be thought of without each other, and the human being who wants to reach God must also carry love within himself or he would never be able to make contact with God. It is the same with the laws of nature .... one is the complement of the other, and all laws establish the divine order. A violation of them creates disorder and at the same time means distance from God, Who Himself stands in the highest perfection and order. And so the construction of the whole of creation is also done in the greatest order and perfection; unsurpassable wisdom established this order, and deepest love was at its root. Consequently, the creatural, when it began its course of development, also had to reach its aim in this order and lawfulness, to become perfect. It had to allow itself to be pervaded down to the smallest substance by the flow of power of eternal love, otherwise it would remain incapable of a task which, however, is the purpose of the earthly path for the beingness. However, due to its former apostasy from God the creatural was no longer able to enter into contact with God Himself, nor with His power, which is only an emanation of God and thus something divine that cannot unite with imperfection. Therefore, something had to be created first which was suitable to receive the immature spiritual, which therefore contained so much divine that the creatural could be fed if it craved strength which it lacked. And thus God directed His emanation of power into the universe so that it touched the whole of infinity, yet in the tiniest measure, for this alone was enough to fill the whole of infinity with His power. Thus an inconceivable life arose, a movement in the universe, because the power of God in itself gives rise to eternal life, eternal activity. And this life increased through the uniting of the tiniest sparks of power, it seized the dead, powerless in the universe in order to draw it into the process of activity, if it wanted to let itself be seized. The living enclosed the dead, the living held captive the dead, but not in hatred but in love, for the power of God is love and never changes. As long as these tiny sparks of power are still whirring in the universe, as long as they are still free, i.e. in constant motion, we cannot yet speak of matter, although it is the beginning of matter and the sparks of power .... electrons .... are, so to speak, the original components of matter. They only become matter once they have consolidated, i.e. when a state of hardening occurs due to the immature essence, which now hinders the electrons' mobility, whereby the essence is now bound and God's emanation of power decreases in its effectiveness for a certain period of time in accordance with God's will, until the bound essence begins to slacken in its resistance. Then also the power stirs again, and a slight life becomes apparent even in hardest matter, when the time of banishment for the spiritual has expired. So the electrons in their state of mobility are certainly spiritual substance, but no substance of the soul of man, which develops after an infinitely long time, while the immature substance, the bound creatural, must be counted among them, because this beingness now begins its process of upward development, which ends with the stage as man. Electrons are purest power from God and therefore indestructible, they are, so to speak, the border crossing from the spiritual into the earthly kingdom, an emanation of God, which takes on form with the entry into the earthly kingdom, if one can speak of form in the incomprehensibly smallest scale. The pure divine unites with the imperfect out of love and mercy, otherwise the latter could never develop upwards because it is totally weakened and nevertheless resists God by not accepting His power .... And thus the power seizes the imperfect, binding it and making the consequences and agonies of the denial of divine power perceptible to it, so that it itself changes its will and desires God's power in order to reach His nearness again ....

Amen

Enveloping hardened substances with love power ....

B.D. 7070 from March 21st 1958, taken from Book No. 75

All life came forth from Me, but death only appeared when My living creations refused to receive the strength of love and life from Me .... As a result they became incapable of creating and working, of any activity which demonstrates life. What had hitherto been inert and active solidified and fell into a state of death, of being immobile and powerless, which now remains in its solidification until it can slowly be awakened to life again through everlasting illumination with love. Thus life can only exist in connection with the source of life, the creature can only live if it constantly receives the flow of love and life from Me, if it does not resist My illumination of love. But the creature which had frozen to death lost its self-awareness and was therefore no longer able to consciously request My flow of love. Thus something which had left Me in all perfection no longer had the possibility to fulfil its original purpose, it had created this life-incapable state for itself in free will. And this state would have been eternally incapable of change without My help, which that fallen spiritual being indeed did not deserve but which My greater than great love nevertheless bestows upon it, because My perfect being cannot eternally leave imperfection in its adversity and because every strength once emanated by Me also has to become active again one day .... My help now consisted and consists of capturing completely hardened spiritual substances and surrounding them with a light cover of love .... This love-power-envelope has no influence on those substances at first, yet it closes itself ever more tightly around them, and under its gentle pressure the hardened spiritual begins to become agitated, it seeks to burst the envelope surrounding it, and it resists a power it feels, and thus those substances initially drift apart, collections of hardened spiritual dissolve, as it were, and now these reduced accumulations can be enveloped again, and the process takes place again and again, again and again hardened spiritual substances are brought into the range of My flow of strength of love until it is possible to supply the spiritual substances with so much strength due to the decreasing resistance that they slowly start to become active again. It takes eternities until this will of activity moves the once frozen spiritual again, but then the upward development progresses more quickly, for ever more of My strength of love can now be supplied to it, so that life can now also be felt everywhere, that the spell of death is therefore broken, even though this upward development only became possible through My will and according to My will. But the spiritual is not forced to give up, to let up its resistance, but this is caused by the strength of My love, to which the spiritual now surrenders. The dead can only be awakened to life through love, but it must freely open itself out of itself to love. And therefore the ascent development certainly takes place according to law, i.e. the spiritual substance is in a certain state of compulsion .... it cannot use free will to act contrary to My law .... Nevertheless, it is never forced to relax its resistance .... which is why the spiritual substance also needs different lengths of time to pass from death to life .... It can remain in its torpor for endless times, it is not forced to give in to the illumination of love, just as it is not forced into any activity before it pushes itself into it. But the fact that all hardened spiritual substances have to become active one day is likewise a fundamental law, because they once were and will remain emanated strength from Me and as such will irrevocably push towards Me again one day, which therefore also means constant activity again. Yet I must grant help to the fallen spiritual being, for in its lack of strength, in its state without any life, no change would eternally occur. My love, however, belongs unchanged to this fallen being, and love makes everything possible, yet it also has to work in wisdom .... For the being shall receive life back eternally, it shall never be able to sink back into the state of death once it has attained life again in light and strength and freedom. And therefore My wisdom has devised a plan of salvation which My love is now carrying out and which also certainly guarantees eternal life in inexpressible bliss for all those who once came forth from Me ....

Amen

Matter is consolidated spiritual strength ....

B.D. 7802 from January 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Consider yourselves My students and accept My instructions: The spiritual as well as the earthly-material world are guided and held by My will. If My will did not hold them they would truly dissolve into nothing, for the thoughts I externalised as My creations were consolidated through My will so that they could continue as something 'created'. And this consolidated will manifested itself in the most varied creations or: Every work of creation was strength consolidated through My will which I emanated because it gave Me pleasure to express this strength in forms determined by My love and wisdom .... The act of creation was only an expression of My greater than great love, unsurpassed wisdom and infinite might .... The thoughts I externalised took on forms through My will, thus all works of creation were thoughts consolidated by My will .... And when it was My will these shaped thoughts became visible .... The first works of creation .... the beings I externalised .... were able to see each other and all the spiritual creations I brought forth to give them happiness. They found themselves in the midst of inconceivable splendours which, however, cannot be described to you in detail since they were spiritual creations which demonstrated My might and glory to the created beings and gave them great pleasure .... And once something had come into existence it could never perish again. However, it was possible for the beings to lose the ability of seeing these works. Nevertheless, they continued to exist, for they were spiritual creations which are and will remain forever ....

Yet earthly matter, too, is strength consolidated through My will, but this only lasts until My will withdraws and the matter dissolves, i.e., the spiritual strength becomes invisible again as before, and My will reshapes it yet again as it best serves its purpose, which can happen many times as conceived by My wisdom and determined by My love. As an earthly-material form is dissolved the spiritual strength can certainly escape from it but it cannot cease to exist, whereas the matter as such will vanish as soon as it is no longer held firm by My will. And My will shall, time and again, withdraw from it because the task it has to fulfil is limited. It must be transient because, time and again, it has to release the spiritual substances which are to mature within matter according to the eternal plan. However, occasionally the human being also takes part in the dissolution of material creations, who can act in accordance with God's will but also in opposition to it, yet this free expression of will is permitted by God although the human being will have to justify his motives which prompted him to dissolve material works of creation .... For even these humanly accomplished dissolutions of matter can be good, that is‚ 'willed by God' .... They may, however, have been based on evil motives which do not comply with My will and are considered an offence against divine order. You must know this, too, in order to understand that no matter could exist were it not held together by My will, but that I do not hinder man's free will if it opposes Mine by trying to destroy matter .... Then he can certainly intervene in My work of creation but only to a limited extent, and even this wrong will was a determining factor for My plan of Salvation, or: I knew of it from the start and therefore based My plan of Salvation on this will. Material creations are transient and sometimes, therefore, incite the human being himself to intervene destructively and, depending on his reasons, with good or bad results, for My wisdom recognises the blessing which a dissolution of matter can entail, whereas the human being's will can reverse the effect of his actions to his own detriment or that of the spiritual substances still bound in matter; consequently, the human being will also have to justify himself if he has sinned against the eternal law of order. For I Myself bind and release .... and this in accordance with eternal law, in love and wisdom, for all power is at My disposal to do whatever My will determines ....

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 ....

The agony of the being without self-awareness .... Rom. 8, 19:22 ....

B.D. 6988 from December 8th 1957, taken from Book No. 74

You were created for eternity .... Thus you cannot ever cease to exist even though you had a beginning. But you were able to change your nature and so you did and as a result temporarily deprived yourselves of self-awareness. You certainly continued to exist but you were no longer conscious of your existence. Nevertheless, it was not a state of happiness, it was no blissful passing away into a void but a state of torment because it signified restriction for the spiritual being that once was created as a free being, which also experienced this restriction as agony. But since you will continue to exist forever you should also be able to enjoy your existence, you should live in a blissful state, that is, you should be active for your own pleasure in strength and light. That is your goal, the goal of every being which once was created by Me is to live and be active in My will, to be blissfully happy in full light and strength like Me and able to create and shape for its own pleasure. Yet countless beings I emanated in light and freedom lost their self-awareness due to their own fault. They relinquished their freedom, light and strength and chose a dreadful fate for themselves .... But they were unable to destroy themselves and will never be able to do so either. Were this voluntarily chosen state without self-awareness devoid of all agony, no being would ever strive for a life in beatitude, for then it would, to a certain extent, have perished and only be recognised as a being by Myself. However, the agonies of a banished being are inconceivable, and you humans should not remain indifferent to the threat of a renewed banishment, for even if you lack self-awareness you will nevertheless be exposed to agonies which you will be able to comprehend one day in retrospect when you have entered into life. For it is the spiritual essence which suffers, not the human being whom you deem to have passed away. And the spiritual essence can certainly have hardened in itself but it is not obliterated, it is not insensitive and suffers extreme pain even in its tiniest substance, therefore the whole of Creation .... the spiritual substance bound in matter .... in contrast to the kingdom of light and its inhabitants .... is 'unredeemed' or 'unhappy', i.e. bound in pain, and in its pain it yearns for redemption.

The pain experienced by the spiritual substance is incomprehensible to you humans because that which was given to your soul as a covering .... your earthly body .... is only able to feel and endure pain up to a certain degree which, however, is no comparison to the agonies the soul has to endure in its unredeemed state and which are also felt by the still bound spiritual substances of the external shell. But since only the soul is a self-aware being it can therefore only in the state of a human being consciously aspire towards a change of its nature, a transformation into its fundamental nature. The realisation that it can never perish, that it will exist forever, will then also motivate it to seriously aspire towards a happy eternal life, to strive towards a 'life in beatitude' and to gain strength and light again in order to be active in accordance with the law of divine order. But as long as it lacks this realisation the human being's life on earth will be to no avail and the soul will remain bound and will also leave its body in a bound state .... And then the agonising state emerges again which it did not feel as much on earth. It is dead even though it exists .... It did not acquire the blissful life on earth, the state of banishment is also threatening it again if it does not succeed in coming to the realisation in the kingdom of the beyond that it has not and cannot cease to exist although it no longer lives on earth .... Only this realisation can prompt it in the kingdom of the beyond to strive towards 'life' after all, and then it will also receive help to do so. But it is dreadful for an already self-aware soul if it has to experience the fate of a new banishment again .... if its self-awareness is taken away and it has to take the path through the creations dissolved in countless tiny particles and to endure the agonies again, which every external shell represents for the spiritual being. For only by means of pain can the spiritual being become so purified that it will mature into a self-aware being again which shall live one day and will then never ever lose its life again ....

The transformation of matter

Matter as spirit carrier .... will to create .... dissolve .... compose ....

B.D. 0831 from March 27th 1939, taken from Book No. 17

Everything on earth serves the spiritual development of the human being. Nothing is visible to the human eye that was not created for this purpose .... All spirit from God animates matter, and again only so that it may one day become free from it and create and shape the same out of itself. Thus, for example, the form, which is in itself insubstantial, is only in connection with the spiritual what you are able to see it as and what is only then visible when the spirit has taken up residence in it. For all external form also consists of substance taken from the spiritual. Simply nothing can exist that is not spiritually enlivened, and a constant change of external form only has the purpose of uniting the different spiritual substance until a complete whole, the human soul, is formed. And this whole must then mature within itself and strive towards perfection. Thus earthly life is, so to speak, the station of formation of the spirit .... it is in the same proportion as the earthly activity of the human being is a constant reshaping of everything that is again accessible to the human being as matter .... since it continuously contributes to the human being's revival and thus constantly supplies the soul's external form, the human body, with vital substances, and all spiritual substances in the air are, as it were, absorbed by the body in order to then unite with the soul, so that the human soul is likewise increased. All form in itself is increased by the very supply from outside which conditions its life .... but so-called dead matter is increased by the human being's will to shape, which again puts together the most diverse spiritual carriers and thus creates a whole from them again. Thus, either a great spiritual power can become active through the joining together of matter or spiritual power can be released through the dissolving or crushing of matter, which then again seeks its abode in another external form, and through joining together likewise in increased power. Therefore every matter has some purpose in the earthly sense, for if it were left completely unused the spiritual substance in it would have no possibility to mature in this external form ....

Transforming matter .... activity - blessing .... redemption ....

B.D. 3993 from March 7th 1947, taken from Book No. 49

Divine love is not always recognizable but it is always at work to help people as well as all spiritual substances which still languish unredeemed in material form. Every change is a help, and that is why the human being should also participate in the transformation of that which surrounds him as matter if it does not fulfil a serving purpose. Your love for the unredeemed is also expressed in the fact that you help him in spiritual adversity, and you can do this as soon as you open up serving possibilities for him. Everything that surrounds you suffers agony if it cannot be active, for it has the will to do so and has always been incorporated into the form on the basis of its will, which has a serving activity as its purpose, thus the human being must contribute to the spiritual not being prevented from serving in order not to prolong its agony but to help it to become free from its form. But the human being's thoughts and aspirations are directed towards acquiring possessions, towards collecting riches, and consequently he will only use a small part of his material possessions for their actual purpose, while the other, far greater part of his possessions will remain inactive because they are not permitted to be of service. And thus it is understandable how necessary a dissolution of the form of that spiritual substance has become, which for a long time was already bound in matter without having been conveyed to its actual purpose; it is understandable that God Himself helps the spiritual substance where the human being's help fails, where his greed for earthly possessions drove him to collect material goods without taking the actual purpose of those goods into account. It is understandable that God has taken these goods from people and thereby gives the spiritual being, which is still in matter, increased opportunity to serve and redeem itself. And at the same time He exerts pressure on the human being to take part in the work of redemption by letting him get into situations of hardship which are meant to impel him to carry out material transformations in order to make unusable matter usable again. The human being is given innumerable possibilities to be creative and creatively active in times when all possessions have been destroyed, and he should exhaust these possibilities so that it will be a blessing for himself and for spiritual matter, so that lively activity will begin everywhere .... For this alone is redeeming and increases the spiritual's degree of maturity, whereas inactivity means a standstill of the spiritual's development and will never find God's approval. The gathering of earthly goods will only be beneficial if increased activity arises from it, if all spiritual substances bound in it are admitted to an activity which corresponds to their purpose .... if the material goods find the use which corresponds to their nature. And this has to be helped by people, for the spiritual substance in matter is mostly dependent on people's help insofar as they have to assign it its purpose or let new creations arise through their will and vitality where the spiritual substance was deprived of the opportunity to serve. And that is why the work of eager hands is a great blessing, that is why diminished material possessions will always encourage eager activity and this will be of greatest advantage for the spiritual substance as well as for the human being himself, for the process of redemption of all spiritual substances can only continue if it is enabled to be of service and can thereby overcome the external form again and again until, as a human being, it can carry out service and thereby finally redeem itself ....

Redemption of the hard matter ....

B.D. 6386 from October 26th 1955, taken from Book No. 68

The spiritual that is at the beginning of development languishes for an inconceivably long time in hardest encasement because it cannot move into a loosened outer form until its resistance decreases, which takes an inconceivably long time. But one day a change of its outer form must also come for this spiritual substance .... And if you humans now consider that there are works of creation which have appeared unchanged for eternities, which seem indestructible to you from time immemorial and also for eternity to come, then you have to ask yourselves when a change can come for the spiritual substance bound in it if it is to follow the path of development which leads to embodiment as a human being like you .... The liberation from the hard form also comes for this spiritual being according to God's will .... For God Himself has determined the duration of the existence of such creations in the knowledge of the diminishing of resistance and thus also the end .... the dissolving of such creation .... foreseen since eternity. And therefore, at intervals determined by God, complete destructions of creations take place which cannot be dissolved in any other way than through violent eruptions .... which, however, can also be caused by people themselves who, in free will, undertake unlawful actions which result in violent eruptions. This free will is also included in God's plan of salvation, and God even allows such unlawful actions to serve the spiritual substance banished in form in its effect if He does not Himself naturally bring about a dissolution of such creations .... But such processes always serve the liberation of that which languishes in the hard form in order to give it an easier outer form where it must continue the path of development upwards. No human being imagines the immeasurable torments of the spiritual which this long imprisonment meant, and no human being believes that in the new creation spiritual substances will be bound again for an infinitely long time, which failed in the free state and instead of reaching ascent sank back into deepest darkness .... You humans all look at the creations without deeper thoughts as to what they really are .... that they harbour spiritual substances which were once fallen original spirits .... full of freedom and light .... and that these are now bound in deepest darkness but shall one day attain freedom and light again .... and that this course of development also irrevocably necessitates the temporary destruction of creations, but that you humans reject as implausible such references to an end of this earth .... Only someone who knows about the meaning and purpose of creation thinks about it, and the announced end is probable to him, but he does not get through with his views to his fellow human beings who lack this knowledge. But every human being should think and ask so that he can receive an answer mentally. And anyone who rejects a coming dissolution or destruction of this earth as 'not proving a God of love' .... only claims God's love for himself because he does not know that everything in creation originated from Him is spiritual like the human being .... that it has only not yet reached the degree in its development where it can embody itself as a human being .... but that it has to reach the degree by constantly changing its external form and serving in every form .... And this possibility is always given to the spiritual by God .... And even if eternities pass, the day will come one day for this spiritual being when it can escape from the solid form and move into a somewhat lighter one again. And God's eternal plan of salvation always foresees the day when the spiritual substance will be liberated from hard matter, the day when one redemption period ends and a new one begins .... For the spiritual's development progresses unceasingly because God's love constantly looks after everything that once emerged from Him .... until it returns to Him again in order to be able to be and remain blissfully happy in all freedom forever ....

Influence of matter on humans ....

B.D. 4466 from October 21st 1948, taken from Book No. 52

Directed matter exerts great influence on the human being insofar as the spiritual bound in it urges him to unite with it, which therefore has the effect of the human being's desire for its possession. The spiritual bound in matter pushes itself into the human being's love .... it seeks to make itself indispensable to him, it strives to unite with the human being because it thereby feels stronger in its resistance against God. For it also senses the resistance the human being still has against God, or it pushes towards people who still resist God in their immaturity. And these people are also easily influenced. They themselves have the greatest desire for matter, and thus like-minded things come together which are only on different levels of development. But the human being is in danger of sinking from his already higher level of development if he chains himself to matter, which is why he cannot be warned enough to strive for matter and is constantly admonished to overcome it. The spiritual in matter can indeed also be willing to serve and help the human being in his ascent development, just as conversely the human being can help the spiritual bound in matter to ascend. But then it concerns objects of use which do not kindle the human being's greed for possession, thus do not awaken the wrong love in the human being for material possessions. As soon as matter serves the human being the resistance against God is already broken; but matter which does not fulfil a serving purpose will often awaken an increased desire in the human being to possess it, and it is this matter which is regarded as a danger for the human being's soul, for its influence on the soul is great and can have such an effect that the soul itself sinks to the stage where it is embodied in matter again. Then the bound spiritual has achieved what it wanted .... it has drawn the free spiritual down to itself and, as it were, strengthened its own power .... the human being has fallen prey to the influence of God's adversary, who has influenced his will to use it in the wrong direction, who constantly presents dead matter to him in order to persuade him to relapse, because thereby he increases his kingdom, his power and violence and it stimulates the God-hostile beings into constant resistance. What turns towards God is lost to him, and this he tries to thwart with all means. Matter itself, i.e. the spiritual bound in it, is still in bondage to him in its immaturity, although God's adversary cannot have a determining effect on the spiritual. But since the spiritual itself has not given up its resistance to God, it also pushes towards people who are in the same resistance, who are pointed to matter by God's adversary, to whom he puts matter before the eye as a lure of the world. The human being can evade this influence or resist it with his will, yet he often uses the freedom of his will wrongly and gives in to the urge of the enemy of his soul. For this reason the battle against matter is the actual battle the human being should wage in earthly life, for once he has overcome it his ascent is also assured, because then there will be nothing holding him back on earth and then his soul can soar into spiritual spheres, because then nothing will hinder its flight upwards and thus there will no longer be any danger, and at the same time the human being then helps the spiritual substance in matter to ascend, which he uses, and thereby helps it to be of service, whereby the spiritual substance in matter can release itself from every form until it has finally also reached the last stage and can serve as a human being in free will ....

God's will as eternal creator

Works of creation are solidified thoughts of God ....

B.D. 5479 from September 4th 1952, taken from Book No. 60

I am present in every smallest living being, in every little plant, in every grain of sand, and there is nothing that is not inspired by Me, there is nothing that is not permeated by My power that gives proof of Myself. For nothing could exist without Me, nothing could remain in existence, because My power alone ensures the existence of that which came forth from Me. My power and My will brought into existence that what arose as a thought within Me. My will consolidated all thoughts, and they became a form which endures until My will withdraws and the spiritual substance, the power from Me, is turned into a new form. The form can change but the power within nevermore, ever, it can just increase and become effective in ever more colossal forms. Everything is power from Me, yet the power can become effective in different degrees, and this depends on the purpose which My wisdom has recognized as expedient. For nothing is without meaning and purpose what I let come into being, and where a purpose is to be achieved My love and wisdom determines every process which serves the achievement of the purpose. I always make and create with this aim in mind, for all the phases from the beginning to the end appear before My eyes in a flash .... And My will and My might carry out what Love and Wisdom recognize as purposeful. Whatever exists in the universe, nothing is created arbitrarily; My plan is determined in profound wisdom and My creative will won’t diminish, ever. New creations will arise constantly because My immense power wants to be active and will only ever be active in such a way that an aim will be achieved in a positive sense. For the power emanating from Me is love .... something unspeakably blissful, constructive and stimulating which can never let things arise which have a negative effect, even though a negative success might seemingly be recognized but which, seen in the right light of realization, still is and remains positive. For there is nothing in which My power is not involved, though a negative will can use this power in a wrong way which I allow, but even then only with the certain aim of a one-time reversal of this free will permitted by Me. For everything came into being in order to change a negative will, every visible creation work has the intended destiny of contributing towards changing a negative will into a positive one. And for this purpose I also dissolve material forms when they have fulfilled their purpose and form new ones again according to My will, but all of which have to serve My will in a positive way .... to direct the spiritual with a wrongly directed will towards the final aim, which is a complete change of will.

(9/4/1952) But contrary to My will, creations can also be dissolved by the human being who, as being in the last stage of development in the possession of a free will, thus can now act either way, according to My will but against it also. The spiritual in the human being then does this under a bad influence, it subordinates itself to the will of the opposing power which, having a wrongly directed will itself, wants to work destructively whereas My power has a constructive effect. Such destroyed creations release the spiritual, bound within them, prematurely which thus needs new forms again in order to be able to continue its course of development. And now My will is at work again to create these forms for it directly or also indirectly by people who carry My will within themselves, being active in creating and shaping according to their ability. The ability to create and shape gives proof of the original power slumbering within them, it proves the origin from Me. Yet the original purpose of the creatures which once came forth from Me was a different one, and they must irrevocably fulfill this original purpose, even though it may take eternities until they have reached the aim .... Thus everything was called into life by Me; yet not everything enjoys life, it sought death instead but cannot perish eternally, it can only remain in a state of death, as it were, but which shall be changed into life .... Yet I am also present in the seemingly dead, in the most solid matter, that is, because it would not be visible to you if My power were not within it. It’s just that its effectiveness is so small that this matter does not allow any change to be recognized for a long time; yet since My power is never completely without an effect, it nevertheless brings about a change even if only after an infinite long time. In cases of a decrease of the resistance of the wrongly directed will, My will also intervenes with increased power, to the extent that 'God'-willed destructions by natural forces thus give the spiritual substance the freedom in a shorter time, which then continues its course of development into new transformations of a lighter kind. My will is always decisive, and a certain order always underlies the emergence and passing away of My creation works, and My adversary is deprived of all power over creation works... But I gave a free will to the human being .... the one of which can be turned towards My adversary just as well than towards Me. And therefore My adversary uses his influence over the human being by trying to determine him to destroy that upon which he has no power. And he wants to destroy it because the spiritual in it matures and is lost to him who once drew it into the abyss from which I want to bring it back up again so that it can fulfill its original purpose, so that it can be permeated with an abundance of strength and now is inconceivably blissful ....

Amen

Not yet formed fallen spirit ....

B.D. 7757 from November 27th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Countless spiritual substances still dwell in the infinitely far distance which are yet to begin their course of development .... It has descended into the abyss, it is completely hardened substance which My will has not yet grasped and reshaped, because this spiritual substance does not yet reveal the slightest change of will, because its will of defence against Me is so strong that it closes itself tightly together and does not allow itself to be driven apart by My power of love .... And thus it will remain in this hardened state for eternal times until it will partly allow itself to be seized by Me, until it will yield to My illumination of love to such an extent that the spiritual substances will loosen and release themselves from the hardening .... and can then be grasped and transformed into matter of various kinds. But this spiritual substance still needs eternities until it gives up its resistance against Me, for it will start its course of development as hardest matter and already need eternities to dissolve it .... This spiritual substance was the first to follow its lord into the abyss, and in the beginning it stood in brightest light, it stood in brightest realization and also knew the magnitude of its guilt when it turned away from Me .... And its resistance against Me did not diminish and it fell into deepest darkness and resisted even the slightest illumination on My part which would have caused the hardened spiritual substance to split up .... in order to be able to be embraced and enveloped after all .... in order to become matter according to My will. And thus the degree of resistance against Me, the degree of rebellion, was decisive for the length of time when redemption would come to the fallen person .... And if you humans consider that countless beings are still languishing in the deepest abyss but have lost the awareness of their 'I', then you will also be able to imagine that and why eternities still have to pass when My will of love allows creations to arise..., which again and again accept the spiritual being which once has to release itself from its rigidity in order also to be able to start the process of development, which again takes eternities until the being reaches perfection, until it has attained the state again in which it was in the beginning .... And if you think about it you will also understand that ever new periods of development have to follow the past ones, that there can still be no end for My creator's will .... For not one fallen being remains eternally distant from Me, I will not rest until the last fallen being has returned to My father's heart again .... And at the beginning of every redemption period a little life also comes into this hardened substance by it becoming excited when My illumination of love hits it .... Again and again beings detach themselves from each other and allow themselves to be captured. Yet I don't force it to surrender to Me but only keep it bound until its resistance decreases of its own accord .... which I recognize and then also keep corresponding creations ready to receive that spiritual substance. And this will also be an explanation for the many creations which show no changes to your eye .... for the hard rock world whose duration you can hardly calculate .... But one day the time of dissolution will also come for this hard matter, for I know when the upward development can progress further. And My love also applies to this still bound spiritual substance so that it will one day become free and also return to Me ...._>Amen

Spiritual help on the way back .... free will ....

B.D. 8891 from December 6th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Countless worlds have already arisen to receive the endless crowd of fallen original spirits, which as unredeemed need just as endless many creations to be able to cover their course of development in them. But all these worlds have also been arranged by spirits of light that those entities could shelter in their creations because in it lies the happiness of the light beings to constantly put out creations for the fallen spiritual, which each fulfils its purpose to bring the spiritual bound in it to maturity. And so the spiritual world is in permanent connection with the fallen spiritual, only that those beings feel an incomparable happiness thereby, while the fallen spiritual goes and must go an agonizing way to also once reach the aim to likewise participate creatively in what is still wretched. The world of light therefore uses the power, by which it is constantly flooded, to create always new creations, because still no end is foreseeable, there are still so many unbound substances, which wait to be caught by the love radiation of those beings .... which still buzz around unbound in the universe, which first have to be condensed to matter, to now be able to start the way of development. Because matter is spiritual power, which has condensed itself to form. Therefore the spiritual must let itself be captured and therefore give up the first resistance, which consisted of repelling all love power. The light beings surround this spiritual substance with their love power, without forcing it to give up its resistance, but love exerts a beneficent effect on that still resisting spiritual, so that it lets itself be captured, therefore the first resistance is broken. And then the spiritual goes through all creations in the mandatory state, what is certainly extremely agonizing, but not to be avoided, because this course once leads to the last perfection. And the spiritual being full of light will always help everyone who has sunk into the abyss to ascend from the abyss, even if this path requires endless times before he reaches the final aim .... the embodiment as man .... as a human being. But then the once fallen original spirit is again complete in all its particles, it lacks not the slightest spiritual substance, it is what it was before its fall to the deep .... however one thing is not yet present in him: He is still completely devoid of all love, without which there is no upward development. That is why God accomplished the greatest work of love when He created man and added to him a spark of His spirit of God, which now enables man to change again to his original being, to become again as it was in the beginning. That now also again the light beings do not slacken in their efforts to lead man to the highest possible maturity, that goes without saying, because that is exactly their happiness, to grant help to men in the last stage, to also help them to happiness, although free will can also prevent it and man again prolongs the time of distance from God endlessly .... But the love of those beings is so great that it is bound by law, that it can only then have an effect when free will of man allows it. But would you men know about your course of development or believe it when you are informed of it, then you would use all power to once be able to leave the cover as man, to again be able to be accepted into the kingdom of light and to become partakers of all glory. But proof cannot be given to you, but you will also not be able to say to have remained ignorant. And so it is up to your free will again, as it was once when you fell into the abyss. You also used your will wrongly there and had to atone for it through eternities, but you can also now expect no better fate when you again fail in your will. But you will experience help at any time, only you must be of good will yourselves that you also want to let yourselves be helped ...._>Amen

God's creative will .... Spiritual and earthly creations ....

B.D. 3943 from December 25th 1946, taken from Book No. 49

The Spirit which controls infinity is incessantly active, for His emanation of strength never diminishes, just as He never tires of using the strength for creating and shaping. And thus new creations constantly emerge, both in a spiritual and earthly sense .... He causes His thoughts to take on a shape for the redemption of the as yet bound spiritual substances, but He also lets spiritual works of wonder arise to delight the beings of light to which all splendours of heaven are revealed. His creative spirit and His creative will are supreme and never ending and always guided by His boundless love which wants to make everything which has emerged from His strength happy. And even if eternities should pass, there will be no end to new creations because His strength has to take effect in order to increase within itself. Therefore the spiritual being which animates earthly .... thus material .... creations is in constant contact with the centre of strength and, by receiving strength, is able to enter into the circuit of God's flow of love again from which it once distanced itself of its own free will.. Thus it increases its own strength just as it furthers the process of redemption of the spiritual beings which still exist outside of the circuit of God's flow of love. All material creations are a means to redeem the spirits; however, spiritual creations are the ultimate object, that is, indescribable pleasure of the redeemed spirits.

And God's creative will never diminishes because His love is never-ending. But He also causes creations to vanish, and that happens if they no longer fulfil their purpose .... if the inherent spiritual being lacks the impetus towards advance, if it opposes God's will and averts its own will from Him .... Then He will dissolve what He created, so that the spiritual substance can reach the goal in a different form. Yet this dissolution of His creations is only planned to happen periodically, just as His wisdom has recognised from the beginning to be necessary for the constrained spirits within the creations. In contrast, spiritual creations are everlasting, they merely change all the time and ever more glorious formations arise, which no human intellect can possibly imagine and no human heart ever dream of. Yet in every new period of time there will also be even more glorious creations which differ from the previous ones and testify to God's love, omnipotence and wisdom, Who reveals Himself in all creations. His strength is invincible and therefore He will never cease to be creatively active, yet the soul will only be able to recognise its extent when it has attained a specific state of maturity which enables it to behold spiritual and earthly creations. Only then will it be filled with reverence and love for its Creator Whose love created it too, in order to make it blissfully happy for all eternity ....

Amen
