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.

B.D. 0495 from July 5th 1938, taken from Book No. 10

The whole of the solar system is also in accord with the great work of Creation. Were you to envision all the sun systems, your intellect would truly be unable to cope, for these dimensions would surpass the human being’s thinking ability. You deem the measurements of Earth alone considerably more extensive than you can rationally take in. Yet the Earth can be called tiny compared to the size of the smallest sun systems. But countless such sun systems exist in the infinite space which differ in their dimension, composition and kind from each other, yet in their final purpose they all serve the same objective .... of furthering the steady higher development of the beings which, having emerged from God, separated themselves from God and shall return to God again. Every solar body is an infinitely enlarged similar work of creation as Earth .... Only a few people can understand that the sun can be compared to a fire-spewing mountain .... However, this comparison will only be understandable if one considers the fact that the Creator very wisely also designed the interior of such a mountain so that it can be the abode of countless beings .... and that the activity of these beings consists of producing endless eruptions through which the whole composition of the mountain undergoes constant changes again .... so that a proportion of beings can shed their cover again and open up their path to other regions on and above the earth. Consequently, such eruptions happen with the Creator’s full approval, and the activity of anyone who loses his earthly life due to such occurrences is limited and they will move on to a different opportunity for development. The solar worlds are likewise creations which the Lord has placed into space for the purpose of constantly new arising heavenly bodies. Every sun is continually active. In its interior rage unimaginable forces whose elementary power continuously throws parts of their interior into space, these are seized again by spiritual beings and shaped into entirely independently active heavenly bodies which are equipped with everything that is required by the living creations which are intended to live there again. However, each of such heavenly bodies will always be in a certain connection with the sun from which it had emerged. Just as the mass thrown out by a fire- spewing mountain always falls back to the earth’s surface again due to gravity .... so will the released matter from the sun always remain within the vicinity of this sun due to this sun’s gravitational pull .... and will also be constantly nourished by this very sun with light and warmth, without which no heavenly body in the universe would be able to survive. Merely the purpose of each world will vary, insofar as constantly different living conditions will also result in constantly different achievements, and such an abode is precisely what is required by those spiritual beings which, in a certain sense, need to continue their development .... which are sent there by the Creator of Heaven and Earth in realisation of what they are lacking. The universe is endless .... countless spiritual beings exist .... and thus time and again the opportunity must be offered to all of them to attain their set goal .... Space is infinite .... infinite is the power of God .... and infinite is His love for His living creations .... For this reason everything has been created out of God’s love and power.

Amen

Light of the sun .... interaction ....

B.D. 4318 from May 30th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

The interaction of force and resistance must show itself in light phenomena of whatever kind, or also .... every generation of light is the result of the counteraction of two forces, from which it can be concluded that positive and negative forces are absolutely necessary in order to bring about the light of the sun which outshines everything. The light of the sun has such an important distant effect that people on earth can certainly see and feel it but can never determine its origin because they will never fathom the nature of the sun and will therefore always draw wrong conclusions. Light phenomena on earth always have causes connected with matter, and therefore the same or similar causes are also attributed to the light of the sun. The sun, however, is not a material world, even though it is visible to people and is counted as such in research. It is a purely spiritual heavenly body, a creation which certainly exists, thus it is called into existence by the will of God, but which has no material substances and can therefore only be seen with the spiritual eye, whereas the earthly eye can only see the exceedingly radiant brightness and be dazzled by it. The light of the sun is of such tremendous effect that it must be concluded that it has an origin which lies far beyond human knowledge. A process is taking place in the universe which is only comprehended by a few enlightened people; to a certain extent a gate is open where the activity of the spiritual becomes visible; it is the struggle of the beings of light against the darkness, the counteraction of forces which unfold the utmost energy in order to assert themselves, in order to gain victory over the opposing force. A spiritual creation with all its inhabitants openly confronts the darkness and from there continues to have an effect on it. It is like a perpetual unfolding of the highest tension of two poles, and the effect is a fire that is incomprehensible to human beings, a source of light of undreamt-of strength .... It is an emanation of the light emanating from the perfect spiritual beings into the universe, it is spiritual strength which is visibly guided as light wherever there is darkness in order to create the possibility for the still undeveloped spiritual to return into the proximity of the eternal light. It is an emanation which certainly has a similarity with earthly produced light, which is luminous in highest potency, whereas earthly light has a limited luminosity, as everything in the material world is limited. Forces that work against each other, if they fight fiercely, must then ignite when they are unyielding, that is, of insurmountable hardness, otherwise one force defeats or consumes the other. Now here are the most distant opposing forces at work .... highly perfect beings from the spiritual world permeated by God's strength and the forces of darkness, which still dwell unbound in the universe and seek to destroy everything that is to be addressed as divine creation. But nothing is within their reach. Their power is enormous, and so they proceed against those forces where they expect the hardest resistance, where they can let off steam and believe they can destroy what resists them. They abhor the light and want to extinguish it. The perfect beings, however, want to break through the darkness. This struggle of light against darkness is, however, at the same time the preservation of the entire earthly material creation. For forces come to development that multiply infinitely and push towards utilization .... and the utilization is only to awaken to life that which has been overcome in the struggle, to make it possible for that which has hitherto become inactive to become active through the supply of strength when it exposes itself to the working of the light. Thus the positive and negative forces constantly generate life, their struggle is visible through the light of the sun, but it is not an earthly explainable firepower which causes the extraordinary radiation, but the light of the sun is only visible in the earthly sphere when it touches the earthly material sphere as well as the spheres of those heavenly bodies which lie in the sphere of the sun and are fed with its luminosity. For these are the kingdom of the bound spiritual, which is allowed to take cognizance of the battle between light and darkness in order to draw benefit from this knowledge for the course of development. For this reason, however, no research can be undertaken beyond these spheres .... i.e., the cause of the sunlight can never be determined by research, because outside of the earthly sphere there is no further for the human intellect, because it exceeds the human being's power of thought, nothing can be proven but only what God reveals to people through spiritual enlightenment has to be accepted by faith. Research begins where it is actually already at an end. Everything earthly can be researched, beyond that the earthly intellect is not sufficient, and through earthly drawing of parallels it becomes entangled in error. For the spiritual world .... the world outside the earthly sphere .... is a completely different world with other laws and other effects, into which a person should never stoop in research if he does not want to fall prey to error ....

Amen

The spiritual sun

Spiritual sun .... heavenly gardeners .... word of God ....

B.D. 0960 from June 12th 1939, taken from Book No. 18

The sun of the spirit has risen, and its rays kindle in the heart the right love for God. And wisdom shines and illuminates the dawning morning .... And what slumbers there is awakened by the light shine. All life unfolds, and the will to activity becomes active. And what was dead revives .... and awakens to life in the sun's warming rays. And all this is brought about by the word of God, which, like the radiant sun, gives life and strength to the soul and can have a tremendous fruitful effect on the human heart. But this also requires a gardener who, in wise knowledge, exposes his plants to the rays of the sun in such a way that they can flourish and develop. And the lord works in the same way .... He protects the tender plants from the scorching embers .... He does not let starving child on earth take an immediate look into the spiritual kingdom, which could harm him. And yet He does not let it starve and does not deprive it of the beneficial effects of the sun’s rays .... He constantly gives the child on earth spiritual nourishment and thus ensures his prosperity and further development. A little plant that has to starve for light and warmth or rain and dew will wither and soon wither faintly .... Likewise, without nourishment from above, without the divine word, an earthly child cannot develop to its fullest bloom, it constantly needs the influx of spiritual strength, it needs the light of divine wisdom and the warmth of divine love and can only flourish if it receives this uninterruptedly. And the heavenly gardener tends His plants with heavenly love and patience. He lets the most wondrous creations arise in the universe and everything is subject to His will. And everything is enlivened by spiritual power. Thus God's garden is entrusted to His creative will and is carefully tended and cared for. And the lord lets His sun shine on every little plant, and every little plant strives for the light .... Only the human being, as a creature of God standing in free will, sometimes eludes the beneficial effect of the light, the spiritual sun. As the most precious plant in God's garden, it is given special love from its creator .... it is offered all the nourishment that is to promote its prosperity. But how often is the light of the spirit and the warmth of love not received .... The little plant eludes the beneficient effect of the spiritual sun of its own accord and starves and perishes completely, where it was offered this in all fullness and all strength. The sun with its light and warmth is indispensable for the flourishing of everything that lives on earth, and likewise the word of God as the spiritual sun is the first condition for life one day in eternity ....

Amen

Spiritual sun ....

B.D. 4078 from July 6th 1947, taken from Book No. 50

The spiritual sun has risen for people who have gained the knowledge of God through prayer and loving activity. It has become bright inside them, a radiant morning has replaced the dark spiritual night, and the day will last forever, it will no longer be followed by night, for whoever once has knowledge will keep it for eternity. Only when the sun of the spirit shines on a person does his heart find inner peace, for when it is day all the worries and fears of the night disappear, it is the feeling of security that determines the person, and this feeling gives calm and peace. Now and then a little cloud can still cover the rays of the spiritual sun, dismal moments in the human being's life can worry him, but the rays of the sun will always break through, they will shine ever brighter and more penetratingly, until finally the human being is completely radiated through and everything impure and wrong is consumed by their glow, until the rays no longer encounter any resistance and the human being is completely spiritualised .... Then man will live .... he will live for eternity. For the sun awakens everything to life, and nothing can be alive without its rays. Before anyone who walks along in the rays of the spiritual sun a life will open up which will make him blissfully happy, for he will have profound knowledge and be able to radiate this knowledge himself, thus become a bearer of light himself, as it were, a small sun which is fed by the great sun, which, spiritualised by its rays, can distribute spiritual knowledge, for the rays of the spiritual sun do not lose their strength, and the spiritual knowledge offered as light can be imparted to fellow human beings so that a bright morning can dawn on them again after a dark night. But only few walk in the spiritual sun, for the majority of people avoid the bright light and withdraw. And these are the people who steer clear of every spiritual debate, who do not desire the truth but are rather hardened or content if they know nothing about continued existence. Others, however, accept the knowledge and do not utilise it, that is, they only hear it with their ears but not with their heart, they do not feel the benefit of the sun's rays because they do not expose themselves to them, and therefore they are not alive either, for they lack the love which would also make the benefit of the spiritual sun's rays comprehensible to them. They do not see the sunrise, they remain in their state of twilight, for they do not desire the light and thus it will not rise for them either, because they escape the circuit of divine love. Still others are completely indifferent when the light from on high is offered to them. They feel comfortable in darkness and never seek to change their state, and therefore eternal night remains in them. But night is no one's friend .... Where spiritual night is, the soul falls into extreme hardship, the light of day must have an effect on it if it is to feel free and happy, it must be illuminated by the spiritual sun if it wants to live in eternity. And it can escape the night, it can always approach the radiant morning, for it only depends on the human being's will that he makes an effort to attain knowledge of God, that he practices love, that he unites with God through loving activity, even if unconsciously, that he then feels God, calls upon Him in prayer and commends himself to His love and grace. All this must precede if the human being wants to attain the right knowledge, if he wants to think right and know the truth, if he wants to become knowledgeable and be taught by God Himself through His spirit. But then he will be in the light, then the sun of the spirit will have risen for him, then there will be no more night, no darkness will be spread over him, he will find radiant brightness everywhere, he will walk the right path in the light of day which leads to the aim, he will release the soul from spiritual adversity, he will give it life and nothing will be able to frighten it anymore because it will always and everywhere be accompanied by the One Whom it has recognised in the light of the morning, Who Himself is the light from eternity ....

Amen

God's word - spiritual sun ....

B.D. 7478 from December 15th 1959, taken from Book No. 79

The spiritual sun shines in your hearts when you hear My word .... And it illuminates everything and dispels all darkness. The spiritual sun is the light from above which emanates from Me Myself and shall find reflection in your hearts so that it will work on and in you. The spiritual sun originates from the source of all light, from Me Myself, Who is the source of love, light and truth and Who constantly flows out to all beings in the entire universe, to all earthly and spiritual beings who open themselves to let My light of love flow into them. And where this sun now shines all darkness is eternally chased away, i.e., people who stand in the light of love of the spiritual sun also stand in realization, and all spiritual darkness has departed from them. And the human being feels good when he has escaped the darkness, even though he does not feel the great earthly grace as does his soul, which is happy that it has escaped the darkness and entered the circuit of My sun of love. But My sun shines for everyone, only those who flee its glow and voluntarily seek out the night will experience nothing of the benefit of the sun's rays, and therefore no ray will shine for them to show them the way out of the darkness. And thus My word from above sounds to all, but not all expose themselves to the benefit of the divine word, not all desire its rays and allow themselves to be illuminated by them. Many continue to walk in darkness, they avoid the divine light of love, they don't listen when a light is brought to them through My messengers, when the divine gospel is proclaimed to them; they turn away and continue to walk in spiritual darkness and therefore cannot be happy in their hearts either, for the darkness will always deprive them of all cheerfulness, the darkness will depress them even if they walk in the world in the glow of the dazzling lights which, however, don't spread brightness in their hearts. They could bask in the rays of My divine light of love, they could be immeasurably blissful, and their soul would also feel it when it is illuminated by rays of light which enlighten everything in it and make it appear transparent, which was previously still confusion and darkness. The soul only feels at ease in the rays of the divine sun of love, it feels My radiance as a blessing and would like to constantly stay in this sphere, yet the human being's will is decisive as to whether the soul comes into its own or not, for the human being's will alone determines that it stays in the light of the spiritual sun or steps out again into the shadow of darkness where dense darkness surrounds the soul. And therefore the human being cannot be forced to listen to My word from above and make it his own, because free will always has to decide whether the human being opens himself to the rays of the divine sun of love or whether he closes himself off and flees the light .... to his own disaster and ruin, for the soul can only feel at ease in the light, and every dark state is a state of torment for it. But the spiritual sun constantly sends its rays out into the darkness, and every being which desires light can enter its realm and it will feel bliss in abundance, for My sun of love radiates brightest light, and where there is light there is bliss ....

Amen

Spiritual sun .... Life force influx ....

B.D. 7646 from July 11th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The sun of the spirit sends forth its rays and all of you shall enter its circle of rays in order to be illuminated for your soul's salvation. The sun of the spirit is the light of love which emanates from Me and wants to strike all My works of creation in order to fill them with strength which ensures the life of everything created by Me. For the whole of creation is sustained by My strength of love, thus constantly illuminated by the sun of the spirit. Whether it is the beingness still bound in form, whether it is the soul of man .... Everything can only come to life through My illumination, thus it can be active, for it receives strength from Me through the illumination which it needs for activity and which therefore also testifies to life. Yet there is a difference in the strength of the illumination which, in the human stage, can be of such abundance that it can result in eternal life for the human being if he is willing. For the strength of the illumination which hits him also depends on his will alone, and therefore also the measure of strength which can fill the human being. For during earthly life he not only receives the vitality necessary for existence but the more he enters the area of radiation of the spiritual sun the more he is also filled by spiritual strength which his soul receives and processes, and this then only works for its eternal life .... Spiritual strength carries the perfection of the soul into the human being so that it can then be active in the spiritual kingdom and be blissfully happy. Activity always proves life .... Activity always requires strength .... and strength is constantly radiated by My love, touching all beingness, depending on its degree of maturity or development. The beingness which is still bound in form is constantly illuminated by My strength, otherwise it could not exist as a work of creation .... And thus every work of creation is also active, even if it is not apparent to the human eye, but it changes in its external form, which brings about every activity. And all these creations contribute to the mutual preservation .... therefore this supply of strength is the strength necessary for the existence of the works of creation. And thus the human being also receives this vitality, but the human being should make use of it by entering My flow of strength of love of his own free will .... by entering the area of radiation of the spiritual sun .... by also being spiritually active in addition to his earthly activity, i.e. by working with love .... thus certainly performs earthly works which, however, have a spiritual effect if they are done in love. Then he will be illuminated by the sun of the spirit, then he will draw spiritual strength, then My divine sun of love can shine upon him and it will touch his heart .... the soul will receive the rays and be driven to unusual activity .... it will ceaselessly practise love, and thus it will come to life through love, which it can never lose again .... And then it is constantly active, it has emerged from the state of death, which was its lot because it had voluntarily removed itself from My flow of love .... And it must come to life again, for only then can it be blissful again as it was in the beginning. Then it will be permeated by My flow of strength of love again, as it once was, then it will create and work in My will again, then it will have become perfect, then it will be My image again .... a divine being that works in and with Me and is blissfully happy ...._>Amen

Moon ....

B.D. 7955 from August 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Only I Myself can make truthful knowledge accessible to you, because only I know everything and all beings of light are also permeated by the knowledge which corresponds to the truth, because they receive this truth from Me .... since the illumination of My light of love into eternity imparts realisation upon all the beings I can address. This is why a being of light must have attained a specific degree of maturity, or it must accomplish a mission in order to reduce the spiritual adversity on earth .... But 'illumination of love' always signifies My transmission of truth, of knowledge relating to the spiritual sphere that cannot be gained by any other means than through direct illumination and that therefore requires receptive vessels to accept the eternal light of love. All perfect spirits are at all times ready and willing to be receptive and, as stations of strength and light, can therefore time and again serve to forward the light of love. People on earth, however, do not usually possess this degree of perfection. However, for the purpose of helping I can also choose a person as a receptacle for My love of light .... if certain preconditions exist which allow for it. I can also convey truthful knowledge to people on earth if My wisdom realises that it is necessary for people's salvation of soul to transmit light to them .... Then I will use a vessel which has prepared itself through love for the reception of My flow of love, this will guarantee the pure truth, because it is My will that people should gain possession of the truth. Then I will also instruct them in everything they need to know for the benefit of their soul. In that case the person would be able to ask any question, it will be truthfully answered for him. I always want to answer you if it benefits your soul. Consequently, you should ask Me spiritual questions, for knowledge about earthly things is worthless for the maturing of the soul. But I will also guide your thoughts correctly in every other aspect, because every error is detrimental for you, every error results in negative consequences, regardless of whether these consequences have a spiritual or earthly effect ....

The simplest answer to your previous debates about the Moon is this: .... The moon constantly accompanies the earth on its orbit, but it is not constantly within the range of the Sun's light because spiritually it is further away from the Sun than the Earth .... The Earth circles the Sun and, due to its own revolution, the rays of the Sun will always affect a different part of Earth, thus resulting in light and darkness. Although the moon's orbit is the same, it nevertheless takes longer to circle, with other words, it cannot be exposed to the Sun's rays at the same time, instead, they will only ever affect that part of the moon which, during its course as the Earth's satellite, can catch the Sun's light. This is because its distance from Earth results in the fact that it requires more time to complete its orbit and so it cannot be affected by the sun's rays at the same time but in intervals instead, depending on the Earth's position in relation to the Sun. Thus the Earth does not stand as a shadow between Sun and Moon, instead, the Earth reflects the light it receives from the Sun during its rotation and which can be received by the Moon depending on its position to the Earth, and this always changes because, although the Moon accompanies the Earth as a satellite, its velocity is not the same as the Earth revolves around itself .... It accompanies the Earth in the universe but it does not rotate at the same speed, therefore it cannot always be visible to the inhabitants on Earth either. However, it will always be able to receive the sun's rays of light, which cannot be restricted by any other planets. The Moon certainly always accompanies the Earth, but on account of Earth's constant rotation it is, from time to time, not visible to the inhabitants on earth .... it cannot be seen .... not because the Sun does not shine on it or because it happens to be within the shadow of Earth, but because the inhabitants on earth themselves happen to be on the other side of Earth in relation to the Moon due to the Earth's rotation and because, on the other hand, they can also see the Sun and the Moon at the same time if this side of the Earth faces the Moon, the latter of which is possible during the day as well as at the night .... but this does not depend on the Sun's illumination, instead, it depends on the position of the Moon in relation to the Earth.

Cosmos .... Illumination of stars ....

B.D. 7960 from August 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Cast all your worries upon the Lord .... I Am truly your Father to Whom you should talk to as My children when you are downhearted, in a spiritual or earthly way. I said to you Myself 'Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest ....' And I will truly take every worry from you because I love you .... My love for you wants to prove itself time and again, so that you will reciprocate it and thus return to Me. For once you rejected My love, and therefore I constantly pursue your love which will bring you back to Me. In order to gain your love I will also let you experience difficulties at times, which should make you call upon Me, then you will gratefully accept My help and recognise the all-merciful Father in Me, Who is manifestly present to you and your hearts will lovingly turn to Him .... And that is all I strive for .... Accept the spiritual proclamations as they are offered to you, for they come from the kingdom of light and will truly not cause darkness. However, that which does not enlighten you, which leaves you in the dark, need not come from the kingdom of darkness, because I repel these forces when they want to express themselves. Yet it will always be possible for Me to enlighten your spirit providing you unreservedly believe that only truth can come forth from Me and that you will therefore also write down everything that was conveyed to you .... (relates to proclamation 7955) .... The will for truth guarantees the same, and even if a person's maturity has not yet reached the highest degree, I will nevertheless be satisfied with his will for truth in order to protect him from error. And although you humans think that you can conduct scientific research .... the laws in the universe are not yet completely known to you, for this reason you will also have to accept something that appears to be absurd if it is explained to you by Me Myself, for your alleged 'facts' are only 'assumptions' which can be disputed. The Sun's range of illumination is limited by law, because the heavenly bodies are more or less hardened spiritual substance, that is, material creations. And the harder the spiritual substance is, the more immature the spirits these creations shelter are and the more they also prevent the illumination. Thus rays of light will not reach them, because it is the law of eternity that resistance reduces the radiance of My light of love or even neutralises it entirely .... The law is not known to you humans, yet it takes effect in the universe, with other words: Everything in the universe is subject to this law, therefore it determines the spiritual state of maturity of the various stars and, for their inhabitants, also the degree of illumination and the degree of resistance of light. Thus the Sun can shine with brightest intensity and yet stars can repel its radiance or reject it on account of the unspiritual state both the works of creation as well as their inhabitants find themselves in .... This is particularly the case with the Moon, which can be considered a star of lowest-developed spiritual beings even in its consistency .... It is not excluded from the illumination by the Sun, yet it does not always allow for its effect .... Yet even the beings inhabiting the Moon are capable of changing, on account of which their state is not always the same and thus the Sun's influence on the star also varies .... These are always ever spiritual explanations, but they can nevertheless also result in understanding earthly processes, but which the scientists on earth will not include in their investigations and therefore also look for earthly-understandable explanations which are, however, not entirely free from error. Yet you should grant credence to My Word that you humans will never get to the bottom of it, for the Earth is one of the tiniest creations in the universe, and its inhabitants still have far too little knowledge about the correlations as to be able to fathom the universe with all My works of creation which I control and direct in My love, wisdom and power and which I let arise as a means of returning the spirits to Me which, having once fallen away from Me, also lost all light, all knowledge, and will only regain these when they have concluded the process through Creation and then be brightly enlightened as well ....

Saturn ....

B.D. 1008 from July 16th 1939, taken from Book No. 19

Worldly scholars will struggle in vain to obtain a clear picture of the inner structure of extraterrestrial works of Creation. It is not enough to establish the numerical size ratio of other planets in comparison to Earth, nor is the intention of establishing the sun’s influence on these planets and the measurement of luminosity sufficient .... Rather, the research of these planets requires people with enormous knowledge, and such knowledge can only be acquired by spiritual means. No connection exists between Earth and other planets, and no such connection will ever be established even if eternities pass by. On the other hand, however, spiritually, no limitations exist which separate one planet from another. The vast space between two planets does not prevent spiritual beings from communicating with each other and exchanging information about the world they inhabit and its structure. Providing a clear picture of the most related planet to Earth, Saturn, is the task of one of the elevated spiritual beings inhabiting it by giving you humans on Earth a description which offers an undeniable explanation to a person desiring such information. As yet no mortal has succeeded in establishing the dimensions of this planet, for it is not possible to calculate its size because people possess no criterion for the circumference of Saturn. It goes beyond all earthly estimates and is almost an infinite concept for you humans. The basic material of this planet is not the same as that of Earth either .... it consists of transparent, brightly sparkling metal with an inconceivable luminosity. The state of all beings within the vicinity of this radiant matter is in harmony with this brilliant light .... They are exceedingly sensitive to all spiritual currents and are relatively far advanced spiritual beings which, however, did not reach their state of light through conscious striving but are highly educated through God’s will. The task of these beings includes taking care of the spirits on earth. Like on earth, they also live a similar physical life, except that the size ratio of the external shells they occupy is humanly incomprehensible, but accordingly their spiritual power is indescribably effective. Nevertheless, the beings also have to fulfil a function and this is in harmony with their respective embodiment, for these beings also exist in various external shapes on the planet’s surface, but their ability to change far surpasses that on earth, insofar as that they are not animating some external shape as imperfect spiritual beings, but that they can, as it were, change their shell at any time so as to be able to accomplish their set task better and easier in a different shell. Consequently, Saturn shelters living beings, nevertheless they possess a certain degree of maturity or they would not be suitable for this planet since the abundance of light presupposes a specific receptivity to light. These beings are difficult to describe to people on earth because certain laws need to be taken into account which are unknown to people on earth. It would indeed be possible to portray them to you, albeit only in a metaphorical way which illustrates the beings’ activity. And this activity is, in a way, just as necessary for people on earth, for the beings have the task of constantly animating the entire flora, nevertheless, the correlation of this cannot be fully understood by you as yet. Amongst each other, the beings lead a similar life as on earth, in total harmony and spiritual unity, so their dwellings are accordingly and magnificent creations of their own intelligence shaped the surface of the planet into an exceedingly charming abode. Creation consists of countless stars and yet each one differs from the other both in its surface arrangement as well as in the living conditions of its inhabiting beings .... In the same way their basic materials are always of a different kind too .... yet all these creations are governed and directed by one Deity according to His will. And thus God provides countless opportunities for a being so that it can receive and likewise distribute bliss for eternity through lively activity in accordance with its perfection.

Amen

The Earth - Origin and development

The earth as a lightless star .... light reception ....

B.D. 3397 from January 7th 1945, taken from Book No. 44

Countless worlds proclaim the glory of God to their inhabitants, and everywhere He is praised and glorified as creator and sustainer of these worlds. Thus He is also acknowledged by the beings inhabiting those worlds as long as they are not completely undeveloped, i.e. inhabitants of lightless stars. The earth is also a still lightless heavenly body, and its inhabitants have different degrees of development, and the recognition and acknowledgment of the eternal deity is also corresponding. The beings on earth, the human beings, are indeed constantly supplied with light, the knowledge of God is conveyed to them so that they can attain the recognition of God and then likewise praise Him as their creator from eternity. Yet the light can only shine and unfold its brilliance if vessels can be found to receive it .... where the will exists to be regarded as light bearers of a lightless heavenly body. God is recognized and loved by those light bearers, praise and honour are paid to Him and His name is held sacred. Yet only a few are, and the earth remains in darkness, it is one of the celestial bodies which harbour ignorant beings and which can never shine by themselves, although undreamt-of luminosity can flow towards them, thus these celestial bodies mean constant battle with darkness for the inhabitants .... Their aim is light, yet the inhabitants of such celestial bodies must strive towards the light, they must catch it and hold on to it. They must seek to recognize God and strive towards His nearness, then light can radiate to earth in all abundance, and it can become a body of light, a luminous heavenly body, because light can constantly flow to it if people, in clearest knowledge of God, love Him as creator and sustainer and are united with Him, Who is the eternal light, through love. For the earth and its inhabitants have been granted the incomprehensible privilege that eternal love itself took this heavenly body as its abode, that it carried the light to earth, thus illuminating a lightless heavenly body with its rays, and that this light will not be taken from it eternally as soon as its inhabitants join the light and let it take effect on them. The earth can be recognized as a brightly shining star in the universe if only people's will strives towards the light, if people make an effort to unite with the eternal light. Then the earth can never again become lightless, for where the eternal love Itself shines Its light, there can never again be darkness, there the lightlessness is banished .... The creator of heaven and earth is recognized, and His omnipotence, wisdom and love are praised ....

Origin of the creation work 'earth' ....

B.D. 7942 from July 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The path of the spirits across the earth will extend into eternity .... For the spirits themselves became the matter which earth and all its creations consist of .... God's will turned solidified spiritual substance into matter, thus the whole of the creation work earth .... as well as all creations in the entire universe .... is God's once emanated strength which He externalised as a 'being' but which so changed itself that it finally became mere hardened substance, which was then transformed into creations of all kinds.

This took place over an infinitely long period of time, because the 'transformation' also occurred in lawful order, the rise of what is now visible as 'inhabited earth' happened during countless phases of development .... it was not an instantly externalised work of God's creative power .... since even the slow development served its purpose .... Time and again minutely disintegrated spiritual particles were captured and reshaped, the process took an inconceivably long time before earth had formed itself into a work of creation which could serve as an abode and sustain physical life for the constantly maturing spiritual substance, as it was designated by God's eternal plan of Salvation. And even this spiritual substance took an endless time before it reached the degree when it was allowed to live as a human being on earth for the purpose of its final perfection.

This last earthly progress as a human being is but a moment in time compared with the infinitely long period of the earth's preliminary development .... Although the creation of every form was indeed the work of an instant for God, because His will and His strength externalised every thought as an existing work .... yet the resistance of the once fallen spirits determined the length of time until their physical transformation. For God did not force this spiritual substance but His strength of love captured it until its resistance had somewhat subsided in order to then encase it in accordance with His plan, to then shape it into various forms where it would perform some kind of activity which was so minimal that, again, an infinitely long time passed before these forms could gradually disintegrate and change ....

The development of earth took ages until it could be inhabited by living beings, and these, in turn, prepared the earth for yet another inconceivably long time to become suitable for serving human beings as a last place of development .... The tiny individual particles of the human soul, however, had passed through all creations .... The fall from the highest pinnacle into the abyss had taken so long that thus an equally long time had been necessary to ascend from the abyss to the point when the being could receive its self-awareness again, that this final perfection then made it possible to travel the last path of ascent. But for the time being the creation had emerged, and this incorporates the innumerable fallen spirits whose return to God will subsequently also take an infinitely long time, hence an end of creation cannot be foreseen as yet ....

Nevertheless, the 'creations' exist and everything will take its lawful course .... They are brought to life by ever new minute particles of spirit whose higher development takes place by way of constantly changing their outer form, and thus a continuous developing and disintegrating of every material creation can be observed .... All works of creation repeatedly renew themselves in this manner and thus serve the inherent spirit to achieve maturity, just as they serve humanity's continued development by safeguarding their physical life an earth. As long as the spirits bound in the creations do not have free will their path of higher development proceeds in accordance with God's will .... the constrained spiritual substance serves in some form or other and thereby matures gradually .... But as soon as the spirit lives on earth as a human being it is once again in possession of free will and then it is able .... instead of continuing to ascend .... to stop its development or to regress again. During the final period of its process of development it is able to fail .... And this regression can lead to the result that the spirit in the human being .... the 'soul' or the once 'fallen original spirit' .... will harden again as before. The outcome will be a disintegration of the soul into countless minute particles again which will have to take the path through the material creations once more .... And this process, which has now become necessary again, also requires the disintegration and transformation of all works of creation .... which can be described as the end of one earthly period and the start of a new one.

And thus you humans should try to explain it to yourselves, that such periodically enforced processes of transformation concerning the creation work earth will take place in accordance with God's will. They are always based on God's love and wisdom and only ever serve the redemption of the once fallen spirits .... And you need to also be prepared for such interventions by God when people no longer recognise the true purpose of their existence, when they thus do not use their earthly life for the maturing of their souls, for their final perfection. For the sole purpose of every work of creation is to bring the human soul into maturity, to help it become what it once was in the beginning .... a supremely perfect being, which originated from God's love but voluntarily apostatised from Him .... It shall return to Him again, and God Himself has provided it with the path of return through all the creations on earth ....

Amen

Evolution of the earth before humans ....

B.D. 3504a from August 1st 1945, taken from Book No. 45

The beginning and the end of a redemption period are so far apart that an eternity can be spoken of by people who keep both points in time in mind. It is an infinitely long period of time because the development of God's individual works of creation requires a certain amount of time, since everything is based on God's laws and even the slow development is again a provision of divine love and wisdom in order to also guarantee this upward development to the spiritual which is sheltered in it. Since the beginning of creation these laws have been the basis of all visible works of creation, for the spiritual which had fallen away from God stood in such stubborn resistance to God that it had to start its course through the works of creation completely deprived of its will and thus completely without will, i.e. bound will. And this could only happen in such a way that they were forced to adapt themselves to divine laws which, however, completely contradicted the will of the once free spiritual being. The free spiritual is constantly active, therefore the unfree spiritual had to remain in inactivity, it had to be banished into an external form which denied it all activity .... It flowed as a free spiritual into infinity and removed itself from God in free will .... But through the removal the spiritual substance grew cold, it congealed and no longer released anything in itself .... God withdrew His love-glow from the spiritual, which had fallen away from Him, and all life, all warmth flowed out of it, and only a cold lifeless mass remained .... the primordial beginning of creation .... Endless times passed before this lifeless mass showed a glimpse of life .... endless times passed before spiritual entities decided to give up their stubborn resistance against God, before they yearned for light and made themselves receptive to light by giving up their resistance. But the slightest change of will loosened their outer forms, their fetters, and a quiet movement began in the lifeless mass, a barely noticeable activity .... the solid mass changed, in places it gave in to the urging of the spiritual within, burst apart and gave the spiritual the opportunity to be slightly active. In again infinitely long periods of time forms and shapes of the most wonderful kind came into being .... the spiritual was active according to divine natural law, its activity was determined by divine will and brought about creations of the most manifold kind. The resistance against God constantly diminished, and therefore the activity became ever more extensive and the resulting creations ever more diverse, at the same time also ever more able to dissolve because their substances were no longer so hardened, for the diminishing resistance meant the supply of light and strength from God, thus life and activity and thereby loosened fetters, i.e. softer external forms which did not require such a long period of time to dissolve. But an unspeakably long time passed before the spiritual had reduced the endless distance from God to such an extent that it was admitted to the last test of will as a human being .... Thus an infinitely long time passed from the beginning of material creation until the first human being, equipped with intellect and free will, was allowed to take this test of will .... And only now did the time epoch begin which people reckon with, only now did the battle of light with darkness begin .... The spiritual, which had travelled the endless long path through creation, had to prove to itself whether it wanted to finally give up its resistance against God or turn away from God again in free will and again fall prey to God's adversary.

Earth test .... new earth and its emergence ....

B.D. 3504b from August 2nd 1945, taken from Book No. 45

Thus the human age was preceded by an epoch of earthly development which first shaped creation in such a way that the conditions of life were created for the human being on earth, for this was the prerequisite for the human being to be able to begin his spiritual ascent development. For the spiritual being, which was now embodied as a human being, had to serve with love in order to finally become free from the bondage, which was a deserved state for its former will to rule. For it had not acknowledged God as its origin, as its creator and producer, because it did not want to accept Him but believed itself capable of creating and shaping out of its own strength and of controlling its creations. It did not recognize that these arose out of God by using the power and that therefore everything was subject to the eternal divinity, which had come forth out of the will of Lucifer and the power out of God. It did not submit and must therefore now, as a human being, muster the degree of will to acknowledge God as sole lord and creator and to unconditionally submit to His divine will. The earth was now at a stage where divine creation required human activity in order to give people the possibility of life .... God Himself instructed the first human beings in their earthly task, the fulfilment of which ensured their final release from form. But now the power of God's adversary set in, who had no power over the spiritual in the period of development before .... Man was endowed with free will, and this will God's adversary sought to win for himself. But this test was permitted by God because the human being was supposed to decide in fullest freedom of will for Him or His adversary. The latter tries to distract the human being from serving in love and to determine him to be active according to his will, which is often also the will of the human being himself. As long as people dwell on earth they stand as an object of battle between light and darkness .... For their souls are courted by both sides, which want to direct their will. The spiritual being, previously in a state of compulsion, striving towards God can reduce the final distance from itself to God but also increase it, yet it must inevitably also bear the consequences of its decision. Earth offers countless possibilities for spiritual ascent development, however, sinking into the deepest depth is also possible, and both are determined by the human being's will itself .... Yet even this period of development has an end as soon as the human will no longer makes use of any possibility .... as soon as it completely disregards spiritual ascent development and thus no longer fulfils its earthly task. Then the spiritual strives back again, towards the state it had already overcome endless times ago .... And God also places it into this state as soon as the end of the redemption period has come. He lets a new earth arise again and enlivens the new creation with this spiritual, which had failed in the period of development before. And indeed, all substance is dissolved which contains spiritual substances .... This is synonymous with the complete destruction of that which is visible to the eye as earthly matter .... The building up of the new earth, however, does not take place in the same way as at the beginning of creation, for the new human race no longer needs the slow preliminary development since it has passed the test on the old earth and is so far in knowledge that it understands the purpose and aim of every work of creation, thus new creations can come into being unhesitatingly before people's eyes without being a spiritual obstacle to perfection for them. The new redemption period is therefore only a continuation of the previous one, it only requires a change of the external form, a reshaping of the earth's surface for the purpose of new development possibilities through the emergence of new creations. For the earth itself remains in existence, it only releases the spiritual for a short time according to divine plan, which is banished again in new creations in order to mature more quickly for the next deformation. The people of the new earth are in a state of maturity which earns them a paradisiacal life, and they are always willing to be active in serving love. Consequently, they are initially not exposed to any resistance which, however, a slow development of the new creation would indisputably mean for them. God creates a paradise on earth for them, and this presupposes creations of incomparable beauty and most graceful magic .... And these creations are the work of a moment. Countless thoughts of God are placed by His will as works in infinity in an instant. Likewise, the new earth will arise without needing time, because nothing is impossible for His might and His will and because His love and wisdom cooperate wherever His will is active .... Human intellect, however, cannot grasp this, it also bases its own inadequacy on divine activity .... But only the imperfect human being applies this standard .... But since the new earth will only bear spiritually mature people as inhabitants, their thinking is free from doubts about the greatness of God and nothing is incomprehensible to them .... They praise and glorify God and His glory, and earthly glory only contributes towards deepening their love for God which ensures them a peaceful life on the new earth where God dwells in the midst of them because He is everywhere where love is ....

Amen

The transformation of the earth

Collision of Earth and Sun .... Researchers .... The Earth’s core ....

B.D. 0945 from June 3rd 1939, taken from Book No. 18

It will be scientifically proven that, as a result of the Earth’s advance towards the Sun, the continued existence of the Earth will be questionable after a certain time. And this evidence will remain unchallenged, because evidence to the contrary cannot be provided by anyone on earth who does not possess a clear knowledge about the course of all events through spiritual contact. However, a person who would like to convey this knowledge he receives through spiritual messages to the world will flatly be labelled abnormal, and although science will once again make a point of clarifying such symptoms, the human race will remain in the dark as long as it does not grant credence to such proclamations. On the one hand, the calculations of academics are not guaranteed, but on the other hand they do not take the time span into consideration, which they aspire to determine .... They do not avail themselves of the truth-revealing source of knowledge and since God, as the Creator of all things, has imposed limits which the human being cannot exceed without divine help, but which is consciously rejected, he can therefore never know the truth, since God will not arbitrarily revoke the order of His Creation. Nevertheless, despite this He will always and forever inform people of the further development and advancement of the works of creation, but precisely these proclamations are not regarded as truth, whereas the scientific reports and calculations are meant to be authoritative and will therefore also be acknowledged as irrefutable. And so scientists are totally convinced that nothing extraordinary can come upon the Earth before their calculated point in time has come .... indeed, as a result of this it is even believed that experiments can be conducted and that the Sun and its effect can be utilized on that basis, thereby reducing the Sun’s strength and alleviating the collision of the Earth with the Sun accordingly. All these purely earthly experiments and results are absurd, for they are more likely to confuse human thinking than lead to clear realisation. God’s creations repeatedly provide the evidence that no human being can ever contribute towards their emergence and that the human being was only granted the transformation of the Earth’s surface, everything else is brought about by God’s love, wisdom and omnipotence and the human being cannot contribute in the slightest to changing the law which has existed for all eternity. And thus this supposed disaster will never occur as people imagined, instead, the core of the Earth will suddenly and unexpectedly start to rotate and wreck all calculations by the scientists .... For this was not planned in the worldly researchers’ latest calculations and scientific results, nevertheless, it was determined in the wise plan of the eternal Deity from the very beginning.

Inner Earth activity .... Eruptions ....

B.D. 2448 from August 13th 1942, taken from Book No. 33

Over the course of time changes occurred on earth, both in the interior as well as on the surface of earth. These are the result of the uninterrupted rotations around its own axis which caused shifts, and the elevations and depressions they created are still changing even now, that is, they are still shifting locally. Thus the Earth does not retain its external shape but has already gone through the most diverse alterations, even though its structure has remained the same. In contrast, the Earth’s interior is constantly active and also triggers changes on the surface of the earth from within. This can be noticed in the vegetation which, throughout millennia, has also changed and will never remain the same, even though these changes do no happen over a short period of time and therefore cannot be observed by people during their life on earth. These changes generally occur so slowly and are barely noticeable to the eye, and therefore require a very long time. However, every now and then unbridled activity erupts in the interior of the Earth and sudden transformations manifest themselves which cause immense destructions on the Earth’s surface and signify fear and horror for people. In that case the hitherto solid form dissolves and, incapable of withstanding the elements’ violent activity inside the Earth, is pushed with enormous force from the inside of the Earth to the surface where it spreads out and, in a completely new environment, tries to adapt itself to the existing mass of earth or to creations in nature .... Such elementary eruptions also understandably result in a complete transformation on the Earth’s surface .... They destroy the existing environment, revoke people’s established order and result in inconceivable chaos which causes severe confusion and anguish in people because they are unable to cope with such eruptions and are thereby thrown into entirely different living conditions. However, a transformation of the Earth’s surface has become necessary, although it can only be spiritually explained, since, from an earthly point of view, there is no recognisable progress in such a transformation, only a destruction and annihilation of what exists. But spiritually it is hugely significant.

The spiritual substance from within the Earth pushes upwards; it wants to start its process of development in the form. And it will need to live through countless phases until the spiritual substance can reach the final stage of its embodiment on earth. Having been bound in the hardest form for an unimaginably long time, the still undeveloped spiritual substance is given a certain amount of freedom so that it can release itself from this solid form, which it subsequently does with elementary force. People experience this manifestation of strength as a natural disaster which is, depending on its extent, more or less devastating for them. Although all spiritual substances will be constrained again, at first they will nevertheless inundate the plant and animal world and, to an even greater degree, people, by disturbing their tranquillity and posing a grave danger to them. It takes a very long time before such a change on the Earth’s surface takes place, because it cannot happen arbitrarily, but only with God’s permission, which He gives when the higher development of the spiritual beings grinds to a halt .... That is, when the being is in possession of free will and free will is no longer made use of. Then a balance must come about, and this happens when the still immature spiritual substance pushes the already further advanced spiritual substance into further phases of development, so that the latter will soon attain possession of free will. For this reason the Earth will always have to expect such changes from time to time and in different places, which have their natural origin in the constant activity of the elements in the interior of the Earth. Hence, the enlightened person understands natural disasters, for he not only realises the earthly, but also the spiritual necessity for this very same occurrence, and will always look upon them as God’s reign. He is aware of the necessity for higher development of the spiritual substances as well as of the beings’ low spiritual state, which animate the earth in the final external form, and of the opportunity for their deliverance .... Yet such natural events, which result in immense destruction, are incomprehensible to unenlightened people and neither do they recognise the spiritual nor the earthly value. Consequently, they will be horror-struck when the Earth’s interior begins to move and they find themselves utterly helpless and at the mercy of the raging of the elements. Nevertheless, that which was decided from the very beginning will come to pass without fail as soon as the Creator of Heaven and Earth deems the time to be right.

Amen

Transformation of Earth .... Eruptions ....

B.D. 6282 from June 11th 1955, taken from Book No. 67

The core of the Earth will remain unaffected when the creations' disintegration takes place .... The Earth as a heavenly body will continue to exist, merely its external form will be so completely reshaped, that one will certainly be able to speak of a 'new Earth', but not of the Earth's disappearance. This change will therefore involve even the deepest parts because many spiritual substances shall be set free and continue their process of development in new forms .... A hugely powerful tremor will release the bound substances and matter will be dissolved and be solidified again on an extensive scale .... Human thoughts cannot find any comparison to the act which will take place, even though the inadequacy of human thinking will be the direct cause of it .... Nevertheless, people have no idea of the ramifications of their undertaking otherwise they would shy away from experiments for which they lack the final knowledge. But regardless of what people do of their own free will, the redemptive plan for the spiritual beings has been adapted to this free will, the consequences will correspond to the divine plan of Salvation, it will serve .... no matter what happens .... to release the substances bound in matter, one period of Salvation will come to an end and a new one will start again .... All liberated spirits will enter a new external form because entirely new creations will arise and the divine order, which will be entirely revoked in the end, will be established again .... because the Earth must continue to fulfil its task of being a place of education for the still immature spirits, consequently it cannot completely cease to exist until it has accomplished this task. However, in its old form it no longer serves its purpose, precisely because everything has become disorderly since, on account of their will, people do whatever God's adversary demands of them .... because they destroy creations or use them for wholly God-opposing actions and thereby prevent the indwelling bound spirits from developing .... which is the adversary's intention, as he has no influence over divine creations and therefore exerts his influence over people who are enslaved by him .... And so God's adversary will also impel people to implement the final work of destruction without realising that he will exactly achieve the opposite of what he wants to achieve .... that the new creations will incorporate everything again which he had influenced, that he will thereby only lose consistently more followers and that new opportunities will be created again for the spirits to mature fully, so that one day they will be completely free from the adverse power .... The conclusion of this period of Salvation has been planned from the start, yet the human being has no idea how it will take place although he would only have to imagine an eruption on a huge scale, which is very possible, since time and again such eruptions occur, which people cannot deny .... The rotation of the interior of the Earth is caused by influences unknown to man, but in the end people will cause it themselves without realising the consequences of their action. God's adversary will impel them to do so, and thus it is his will and the will of people enslaved by him, which was included in the divine plan of Salvation .... Consequently, even hell and its adherents are of service to the Creator of Heaven and Earth .... the dark world unintentionally takes part in the redemption of the spirits and, in the final analysis, even the resistance to God contributes towards the fact that the path towards ascent will, time and again, be opened again for the spirits .... until the work of Redemption will finally be complete one day ....

Amen

Earth, a paradise ....

B.D. 6561 from June 2nd 1956, taken from Book No. 70

There could be a paradisiacal state already on earth if all people lived in God's will and served each other in love .... Neither hardship nor sorrow would oppress people and they would live together in peaceful harmony, always seeking to maintain each other's well-being and security and giving each other support where help is needed .... Where love reigns, there is no discord, no envy, no greed .... where love reigns, there is no arrogance, no impatience, and no enmity .... For God Himself is where love is, and He blesses the people who are united to Him through love. But the earth is not such a blessed place that it could be called a paradise .... The earth is dominated by God's adversary whose will is carried out far too zealously, and the earth shelters a majority of people who lack love, who therefore live at enmity with each other, and no-one strives for the other's advantage but everyone only thinks of himself in self-love. But it shall become paradise .... For the time has come when Satan's activity will be put to an end, the time has come when the human race must be renewed, when the few who still have love within themselves and strive to live according to God's will have to be separated .... The time has come when the earth will be cleansed and transformed into the Garden of Eden again, where God Himself can dwell amongst His Own again, because love reigns on earth again .... You humans who are now living on earth are facing this transformation, this purification, the end of the old earth .... Although you will not be able to comprehend that and how such a transformation will take place, yet with God no thing is impossible .... And this transformation has been planned for eternity, after all, the state of unkindness amongst people has been known to Him for eternity, which no longer allows for upward development and therefore also causes the end of this earth. The earth is indeed intended to be a maturing station for the developing spiritual substance, the souls are intended to shape themselves into love during their earthly lifes .... But they can also do it, and thus people could already create the paradisiacal state for themselves in earthly life, and within a short period they would have reached the degree of maturity and be able to enter everlasting bliss .... But they misuse the grace of their embodiment on earth .... They do not strive for a change of their nature, they remain in their loveless state, which was the result of their former apostasy from God, and thus they create for themselves a life of hardship and misery, sickness and sorrow .... and perish physically and spiritually .... For they only have a limited time on this earth. And that is why a limit has also been set for the human race, so that it can only sink to a certain depth in order to then be integrated anew into the process of maturing, which is extremely painful but nevertheless successful. But the earth will take on a new look, both as creation and spiritually, for the new human race consists of souls which were serious about their transformation, about their maturity .... which have shaped themselves into love and therefore may experience the paradise on the new earth. And God Himself will be in their midst, for their love permits of His presence. And all adversity will now be over .... All of you humans are facing this change. Ensure that you be among those who may take possession of paradise, ensure that love fills your hearts, that you still use the short period of time until the end, that you live according to God's will, Who only requires of you to fulfil His commandments of love .... For soon the time of grace will be over, soon the hour of the end will have come ....

Amen

Earth school of the spirit ....

B.D. 4336 from June 15th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

Consider the earth as a school of the spirit, as an educational station for eternal bliss, consider Me as your teacher Who cares about your education, Who wants to shape you into mature, perfect creatures so that they can be active themselves in shaping what is still imperfect and therefore unhappy. Do not regard the earth as an end in itself but as a means to an end with all its creations, which are only the will that has become form and the sign of My great love for you and which are meant to help the imperfect being to attain perfection. And know that you, having emerged from My strength, remain eternally united with Me, that you, as a part of Me, can never ever be rejected by Me, but that you must be perfect if you want to be active with Me and in My will. And if you now look at creation with Me in mind, consider that the whole of creation exists for you but that you yourselves are the centre of this creation .... the most highly developed work of creation endowed with intellect and free will and that you, as living creations, are constantly in contact with your creator. Although the world appears large to you, you are the life in this world, for you embody the spiritual being which stands at the end of the earthly course as beings cared for by My love, which I want to draw over into the spiritual kingdom, which I want to make happy with My constant nearness. I do not leave one of these beings to its fate, not one needs to do without My care and love, every single creature can feel safe under My protection and bask in the rays of My grace. But it has to make use of earthly life, otherwise it will prolong the time of its earth-boundness, otherwise endless times can pass until it is mature for the spiritual kingdom, until it can dwell in the light, in My nearness and be blissfully happy. Earth is the school of the spirit, therefore this must be taken into account, i.e. the spirit must first be given the opportunity to develop, it must be given the opportunity to reveal itself to the soul, so that the human being will now live in accordance with My will .... he must be instructed so that he becomes suitable for eternity. But he can constantly receive the instructions, for My love will consider people such that they will be able to fulfil their earthly task if only they have the will to do so. And thus I will present them with knowledge which completely corresponds to the truth and which will let them mature on earth if they accept it and use it accordingly. I Myself will train your spirit, for it is part of Me and establishes the connection with the eternal father-spirit if you don't resist and let Me Myself take effect in you. And thus you receive My word through the working of the spirit as a sign of My love and as a means to your perfection. I Myself speak to you, and if you listen to Me you will inevitably ascend, you will recognize what you once were, what you are and what you shall become, you will successfully complete the school of the spirit and be able to leave earth as beings of light and enter My kingdom and you will eternally thank Me for this school which shapes you into perfect beings again, which you were from the very beginning .... children of your father from eternity ....

Amen
