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.

Budskaber, som bliver givet i en bestemt orden .... Undervisning ....

B.D. 1047 from 10. august 1939, taken from Book No. 19

Opfat, hvad der er Herrens vilje. Budskaberne fra oven bliver bragt i en bestemt regelmæssighed og rækkefølge, og er altså blevet formidlet i en bestemt orden. I vil dog først finde ud af denne rækkefølge, når I har opnået den fulde viden, thi menneskene har hele tiden modtaget disse visdomme, tilsyneladende uden sammenhæng med hinanden, og derfor er alle gaver fra oven afsluttede visdomme, dog ubetinget nødvendige (hver for sig) for at gøre det følgende forståeligt. Alt bidrager kun til at øge menneskenes tankevirksomhed og på den måde at udvikle en følelse for alt åndeligt, som omgiver jer. Derfor bør budskaberne (belæringerne) tilbydes således, at mennesket får indblik på alle områder og derefter kan tænke over det (læste). Alle budskaberne skal tilbydes den modtagende så forståeligt, således at alt hvad mennesket modtager på denne måde er begribeligt, både over for skabelsen, men også for det åndeliges virke hinsides (i den åndeliges dimension). Dette bliver muligt på en billedlig (visuel) måde. Dette sker på en omhyggelig forberedt indlæring, som følger hinanden således, at tankevirksomheden og begrebsforståelsen af budskaberne kan optages mentalt. Derfor kan det af og til se ud som om budskaberne er uden sammenhæng, snart bliver det ene, snart det andet emne (tema) valgt til udførligt betragtning, for det er de belærende åndsvæsener, der erkender nødvendigheden af dette til alle tider, og supplerer derfor først den manglende viden, hvis nødvendigheden foreligger.

Der må til stadighed tilbydes mennesket gentagelser, indtil mennesket er fuldstændigt åndeligt gennemtrængt, således, at betydningen og vigtigheden af den formidlede åndsviden er bliver helt klar. En enkelt belæring af det formidlede åndelige, ville ikke føre til sådan viden (indsigt), som er nødvendig for at virke belærende på samme måde .... Det skal igen være muligt af kunne besvare ethvert åndeligt spørgsmål med største klarhed og bestemthed, før den guddommelige lære skal kunne finde indgang (optagelse) hos menneskene, og dertil kræves den største og omfangsrigeste viden. Derfor får du B.D. og I så orte budskaber, som man tror man allerede har modtaget. Dette er nødvendigt, således, at der engang gennem dig B.D. klart og utvetydigt kan videregives en forklaring af guds ord til dem, som opfordrer dig til det. Kun den største opmerksomhed og villig optagelse bringer en bestemt modenhed på kort tid, derfor er ethvert budskab velovervejet og gives til dig efter herrens vilje.

Amen

Bøgernes Bog .... / Bibelen .... Guds ord ....

B.D. 5710 from 28. juni 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Skriften, som vidner om mig, ville være fuld tilstrækkelig for at forkynde min vilje til menneskene. Skriften ville også føre dem til lyset, til erkendelse, hvis min vilje blev adlydt, og de ville herigennem forstå meningen med livet og opnå frelsen/sagligheden ved overgangen herfra til Gud.

Dog denne skrift "fædrenes bog" / bibelen, har mistet sin værdi for mange mennesker. Det er ikke mere den bog, som formidlede mit ord til dem, fordi deres manglende tro også vedrører skriftens oprindelse. De kan ikke acceptere, at min ånd var lige så virksom i mine disciple som nu, og denne ånd fik dem til at skrive ned, hvad jeg selv gjorde og underviste, dengang jeg vandrede på jorden.

Derfor anerkender de ikke mit ord, som de burde anerkende det .... som min viljes udtryk, der forlanger opfyldelsen af budene, givet til menneskeheden: nemlig kærligheden til gud og næstekærligheden .... Hvis de blot ville anerkende disse to bud, som blev givet til menneskene af mig, og hvis de ville gøre sig umage for at leve efter disse to bud på jorden, så ville de sikkert også snart få forståelse for rigtigheden og sandheden i de andre belæringer, som mine disciple på min opfordring har nedskrevet for alle mennesker .... men de lever ikke i kærligheden, og derfor mangler de forståelse for, hvad skriften indeholder. Derfor tvivler de også på budskabernes oprindelse, de anerkender ikke mig som ordets tilblivelse, der vidner om mig. Alligevel skal de have indblik i mit ord og få at vide, hvad min vilje går ud på, og defor direkte gøres opmerksom på den, som udtrykker sig på mange forskellige måder.

De skal blive oplyst om, at det er mig muligt, til hver en tid at lede mit ord ned til jorden, at jeg altid er i stand til at belære menneskene gennem helligånden, ligesom jeg også har undervist mine disciple .... selv dengang jeg ikke mere var i blandt dem som menneske (i kødet) .... De skal oplyses om, at helligåndens udgydelse ikke var en enkelt hændelse dengang, som kun mine disciple på daværende tidspunkt oplevede, - at jeg altid igen vil udgyde min ånd i et åbent, rent hjerte - at jeg til en hver tid vil belære menneskene, ligesom i sin tid mine disciple blev undervist. Således leder jeg mit ord åbenbaret til menneskene, som igen kun skal vidne om min vilje: Nemlig at leve i kærlighed, som følge af opfyldelsen af min vilje: at lede menneskene i al sandhed, for at forklare sammenhængen mellem "det skabte" (skabelsen) og skaberen. Ligeledes for at vise bestemmelsen og målet af alt "skabt", som skal blive indlysende for menneskene, altså give menneskeheden en omfangsrig viden, som betyder det klareste lys for sjælen, og således vejen til det evige liv.

Ved at lede mit ord ned til menneskene, har jeg kun det mål, at menneskeheden skal omdanne sig til et liv i kærlighed. "Den hellige skrift" lærer også kun ud fra kærlighedens principper. Derfor må kærlighedens oprindelse også have sin udgang fra "mig selv", da jeg er den evige kærlighed. Men fordi kærligheden er blevet kold bland menneskene, er disse heller ikke mere i stand til at erkende det indre ord: ("fra gud") hvad der star skrevet. De er blevet blinde i ånden og mangler enhver dømmekraft. Derfor skal der nu komme levende, udvalgte repræsentanter af mit ord, der ganske vist ikke bringer menneskene noget nyt, men kan fremtræde med overbevisende kraft, og belyse det gammelkendte og påføre det ny beviskraft. Nemlig dette: at kærligheden er det første bud og hvis opfyldelse jeg forlanger, og at al videre viden, den højere erkendelse af sandheden, har kærligheden som udgangspunkt ....

Mit ord skal igen finde forstærket udbredelse, thi igen siger jeg til mine disciple, som jeg selv har valgt:"gå ud i verden, belær alle folkeslag", Menneskene skal høre om mit evangelium, de skal have at vide, at "den heillige skrift" ikke må tilintetgøres, da den indeholder sandheden, som jeg selv har forkyndt overfor mine disciple .... De skal vide, jeg altid og for evigt leder det samme ord ned til jorden, og at mit ord vil bestå selv om himmel og jord skulle forgå ....

Amen
