LIFE
LIFE
The human spiritual beings" conception of life, has so far been erroneous!
All that the human spiritual beings have designated as "Life", is nothing but "impelled motion", which may only be considered as the natural effect of "Life Proper".
The human spiritual beings cannot proceed further, in their investigation because they, themselves are product of this "motion". As it was, the highest they could comprehend, they simply designate it "Power" or "Living power" or even "Life".
This is neither power nor life, however, but only a natural and inevitable effect of these, because power only exists in "Life Itself". It is one with it and inseparable from it.
Since "Power" and "Life" are inseparable, and since Creation is formed, maintained and again disintegrated by movement alone, it would be impossible to speak either of power or of life within Creation.
Thus, whosoever desire to speak of the discovery of Primordial Power, or even of the exploitation of Primordial Power, by machinery, is greatly in error, because Primordial Power is not to be found within Creation, at all! The human spiritual beings have mistaken something else, for it and erroneously expresses their opinion, that, this is "power". Such human spiritual beings, thereby prove that, they cannot be reproached about this, because they share their ignorance, with all their fellow human spiritual beings, whether they are learned or otherwise!
Because of this reason, from the beginning, Only One "Power" streams through all Creation
This is for the general understanding of the human spiritual beings, otherwise, they would not have grasped, the understanding about this at all! Presently, however, in order to advance further in these matters and furnish a picture, which shall soberly reflect the processes, in all that occurs. This description is "novel", but it changes nothing of previous descriptions. Everything remains just as it has been stated, and it is real!
This further description, only appears new because this time, a new light is inserted! In so doing, a solid foundation is provided, -- a large bowl, so to speak, into which, the huma spiritual beings can place everything already mentioned, in The Grail Message, as the constantly moving, effervescent contents, combined into one whole, something which unquestionably belongs together and inter-mixes. Thereby, the human spiritual beings can obtain a comprehensive survey of all the great happenings, hitherto unknown to them, including their own existence and inner development, which survey is quite inexhaustible to the human spiritual beings and harmonises in every way!
The hearer and the reader should now try to envisage in their minds, what is about being unfolded!
LIFE, Real Life, is something completely autonomous, something completely independent. Otherwise it could not be designated as "Life".
Such Life,....................is in Almighty God, ..........................Alone!
And since besides Almighty God, nothing is truly "Living", it figures that, He Alone, Holds The Power, which lies in Life.
Thus, Almighty God, and He Alone is The Primordial Power, or simply "The Power", so often referred to!
And again, in this "Power", there is "Light"!
Here again, the expression "Primordial Light" is just as false as the expression, "Primordial Power", for there is but "One Light" and "One Power" --- "Almighty God, the very most High, nothing stands ever above or could!
The existence of Almighty God, of Power, of Light, i.e., of Life, Alone inevitably brings into being, The Creations, because The Living Light, The Living Power, cannot but Radiate! And these Radiations contain, all that is necessary, for Creation!
The Radiations are not The Light Itself!
Hence, all that exists outside of Almighty God, have their origin only, in the Radiation of Almighty God.
This Radiation is a natural effect of The Light, however, an effect which has existed, from all eternity. The strength of the Radiation, is naturally greatest in the proximity of The Light, so much, so that, there can be no other movement in it, than "The Perfectly Straight Line" Movement, which is an intrinsic quality of the Radiation.
Thus, it issues from Almighty God and proceeds for fabulous distances, the extent of which, the human spiritual beings, is unable to imagine!
When, however, this inflexible forward propulsion, which is equivalent to an immense and constant pressure, comes to the point, where it at last, eases-off a little, the nature of the movement, changes from the hitherto, "straight-Line" to a "circular movement".
This circular movement is produced by the attraction of "Living Power", simultaneously pulling back, all that has been flung beyond the border of the full Radiation, to that point, where only the straight-line movement predominates.
In this process, the "Rotating" movements take on an elliptical form, because they are not independent movements, but only produced by this flinging-out-of-the-main-stream, and the subsequent pulling back, through the attraction, which rests, in The "Power, that is, in Almighty God Himself!
Moreover, the process of dividing the Radiation into "positive" and "negative" species, which takes place after the Radiation, leaves The Sphere of Divine-White-Heat, also decisive here! In this "Rotating" movements, in which the immense pressure of the original Radiation, has diminished, a slight cooling-off, also takes place, in the course of nature. This, in turn, causes a certain deposit, to be precipitated.
This deposit, sinks deeper or receding further away, from the original strongest radiation, but is still held by the all-pervading attractions of the Power. Yet, it simultaneously retains, enough of the straight-line impetus of the Radiation, in order to again produce new rotating movements, which always remain within, very definite, but quite different limits. Thus, one deposit after another is precipitated, and corresponding elliptically rotating of motion form, which bring accumulations of substance and finally ever more "solid condensate" forms, receding further and further away, from the "Original Radiation" and it's enormous, surging, forward pressure!
The gradations thus produced, consequently form planes, in which definite species link together and settle, conforming to the degree, their temperature has cooled off. These placed had already been described, in the "Grail Message", as being the great, fundamental planes of Spiritual Substantiality in the upper-most region of Creation, under which successively, range the Spheres of Animistic Substantiality, of Ethereal Substance, and finally of Gross Matter, with their many sub-divisions. It is quite natural that the more perfect species should remain higher, thus closest to the "Point of Origin", because they most nearly resemble It and are most strongly affected by the attraction of the "Living Power"!
As has already been said, this Radiation of "The LIGHT", working in such an incomprehensible way, has always existed from all eternity!
But Almighty God, Did not allow this Radiation of the Light, to penetrate further and act beyond the limits, at which, the surging forward drive of the stream, still forms an absolutely "Straight-Line", so that, the "Pure Divine Radiation" still remained luminous and clear, without any cooling off, and consequent precipitation.
This formed "The Divine Sphere", which as with Almighty God Himself, is Eternal!
In this clear transparency, there could never be any dimming, nor can there be any "swerving" aside or change.
Only perfect harmony with the "Source", with "The Light" Itself was possible!
And thie "Divine Sphere", is inseparably connected with "Almighty God", because this "Radiation" of the "Living Power", being it's natural effect, can never be avoided! To this Divine Sphere, which because of it's close proximity to the Living Power, is subjected to a pressure, incomprehensible to the human spiritual beings, belongs the "Actual Castle of The Grail", as the most extreme outpost and "Anchorage", as a "terminating counter-pole", so to put it!
This "Castle" still stands within the "Circle of Divinity", and has therefore, existed from all eternity and will remain unchanged, for all eternity, even if in times to come, "Creation would have to fall to ruins", "The Castle of The Holy Grail, shall remain!
Thus, it was from all eternity! It is something, the human spiritual beings is unable to comprehend!
It was not until, Almighty God, In His Volition, sent forth "The Great Words":....................."Let There Be Light", that the "Rays Shot-out" over the "limit" hitherto, and released them into "the Universe", then it was in "utter darkness", carrying movement and warmth!
This was the "Beginning of Creation", which gave birth to the human spiritual beings, and could become their homes!
Almighty God, "Who Is Light", Does not need "this Creation"!
"Should He again, decide to "limit His Radiation, to it's unavoidable minimum, so that only a "Sphere of Divine Purity" would remain, into which, no dimness, can ever penetrate, just as it was in "the beginning", then the "end" of all that has been "subsequently" created, would be at hand! The human spiritual beings then, would also cease to exist, because the human spiritual can only attain to self-conscious, within Creation!
The immediate Radiation of The Light, can produce only what is "perfect". In the changes, from this first pressure, caused by the "ever-increasing" distances, however, this "original perfection" diminishes, because, in the progressive cooling off, "individual particles", constantly separate themselves and consequently remain behind.
Purity in Perfection, necessitates the pressure of "Divine Radiation, at it's greatest necessity, which is possible, only in the "Proximity of Almighty God". The pressure creates "motion", which in turn, produces "warmth, heat, and white-heat.
"Pressure", however, is but the resultant effect of the "Power", and not "The Power" Itself, just as the "Radiations" come into existence, only under the pressure of the power, but the Radiations are not the Power Itself!
Therefore, the radiations within Creation, are but the consequence of a corresponding motion, which in turn, must adjust "itself", to the particular pressure, at the time! Thus, wherever there are no "radiations" in Creation, there is also no "motion" or, as the human spiritual beings, had erroneously call it, "no life"!
Because, all motion radiates, while "stagnation" is "nothingness", an absence of motion, which the human spiritual beings call, "death"!
Thus, "The Great Judgment comes about, only through the increased pressure, of "a Divine Ray", passed on, through an "Envoy" from Almighty God, incarnated, as flesh and blood, in the World of Gross Matter, to "Whom" Almighty God, has "given" a "Spark of His Living Power"!
Only that, which swing aright, in the "Laws" manifesting the "Power of Almighty God", can withstand the pressure of this "Living Power-Spark", which naturally cannot be as strong, as the enormous pressure, of the "Living Power in Almighty God", "The Father Himself.
That which swings aright, will be strengthened by this "pressure", but not brought to "Divine White-Heat, for which, the "Radiation" of the "Power-Spark" is insufficient.
The radiation of the "Power-Spark, however, is simply sufficient to unhinge all disturbing elements, thrust them out of their false movements, and "crush and disintegrate them.
Thus, the "Great Judgment" of Almighty God, follows quite automatically and in no wise, depends on an arbitrary act of the "Divine Envoy"!
It is simply the result of the "Law of Radiation", which was bound to come into being, in consequent occurrence, of the Radiation of Almighty God's Power. Because, all and everything that moves aright, in "thought" or "deeds" radiates a "violet" color, in the "World of Gross Matter.
That which is of the "Darkness", either evil, or striving towards it, albeit in "thought" or "desire", emits a dull "yellow" color.
These "two colors" are fundamental for the "Judgment"!
According to the strength of a volition or deed, these radiations are either of weak or of strong quality!
With the coming of Almighty God's Envoy, an absolutely unmodified "Ray of Divine Light" enters Creation and thereby also this earth. Divine Light, strengthens and uplifts, all and everything that is good, i.e., all that is of "violet" color on earth, while all that is of a "dull earthly yellow", will be disintegrated and destroyed by "Divine Light"!
The radiation is stronger or weaker, according to the nature and strength of a particular volition or deed. And this again, influences the nature and strength of the "Judging effect" of the Divine Light-Ray, with unswerving "Justice"!
It may quite well be said, that Creation is encompassed and penetrated by a "gigantic network" of "many-colored" radiations. These radiations are nothing but the expression of the diversified movement, having their "origin", in the "pressure" of the Living Power of Almighty God.
In other words: Almighty God, "Holds" Creation, in "His Living-Power"!
All this is right, no matter in what form, it is expressed! But if one wishes to put it to good account, the real origin and further process of development, must also be known accurately.
Just as the highest degree of heat, throws out, "a white glow", so is it also, it is the same in the "Divine Sphere"! With decrease in temperature, other colors, gradually appear, and in the cooling-off-process, everything becomes more and more dense in condensation!
To continue the explanations, with the aid of earthly conceptions, the human spiritual beings can never come to "Divine-White-Heat", because the human spiritual beings came into being, in a sphere, where the pressure, was already becoming weaker and where it was consequently, no longer able to produce, this highest degree of heat.
Thus, in it's origin, the human spiritual beings, is of a species, which cannot self-consciously, withstand, this highest degree of power! Or could also be said: "That which is spirit cannot evolve and become self-conscious, until the "temperature" has fallen or dropped to a certain "level!
Furthermore, the species, in which the "spirit" originates is nothing more than, a deposit condensate, precipitated from the Divine Sphere, which was bound to form itself, owing to the slight decrease, in "temperature", and so on!
But there are still further graduated gradient extensions!
The first precipitation, from the Divine Sphere, forms "The Primordial Spiritual Sphere, of instant self-consciousness, in which "The Primordial Beings", originate. It is only the deposit, which The Primordial Beings, had precipitated, which consequently produces the species, from which, the human spiritual beings can evolve. The deposit, precipitated by the human spiritual beings in turn, produces "The Sphere of Animistic Substantiality" of which, "the World of Ethereal Substance, emerges, which again is finally followed by "the World of Gross Matter
But each of the fundamental species mentioned here, including the Divine, contains many intermediate spheres, which are bridges, that have to act, as connection links, from one sphere to another!
The first deposit from the Divine Sphere, as is easily understandable, holds the greatest value, the true replica and image, and could therefore, produce "Self-Consciousness" instantaneously and immediate process!
This first ever deposit, produced the so-called "Primordial Beings", whereas the deposit precipitated after this first deposit, is not quite, so strong and must gradually develop, towards self-consciousness, because they lack the instance of this immediate self-consciousness. And from this "second deposit" the human spiritual beings "originate".
Due to the greater value and significance of the species, and because they constitute the very "first deposit" from The Divine Sphere, These "Primordial Beings", therefore stand, at the "highest heights, in Creation, while the human spiritual beings, emerged, only from a still further, cooled-off deposit.
Naturally, even at their full maturity, the human spiritual beings, cannot reach the height of the much more valuable, significant, "Primordial Beings, whom are the true image and replica, but must remain on the level, of their own species!
In order to rise higher, the human spiritual beings lack something, which it is impossible to supplement, unless this some-thing, was give to them directly, by the "Living Power" of Almighty God, which, however, cannot take place, in natural course of events. Instead, it would have to issue from a Living Part of Almighty God, placed in Creation, because, being the personal and truly "Living Power", Himself, the radiation has not cooled, which ordinarily, it is bound to do in transition
He alone, therefore, is in a position, to add to a human spiritual beings, through His own, immediate Radiation, something which makes it possible for the Human spiritual beings to cross the border, to the region, in which the Primordial Beings Live!
When the radiation, first shot over the "boundary-line", of the Divine Sphere, i.e., at the "beginning of Creation", a new session was added to the external "Castle of The Grail", situated at the most "remote" border, of The Divine Sphere.
This section protruded towards the further side, towards the most spiritual part of Creation, so that, the Primordial Beings, on their side, can also visit this new section, of "The Castle" but in the "Spiritual World", at least as far as the "limit", set by their individual species, allows or permits!
One step beyond this border, i.e., into the Divine Sphere, would mean immediate unconsciousness, because they would be consumed in "white-heat", if.......they were able to take such a step! But this is impossible, because the much greater pressure, of the Divine Sphere, to which they are not accustomed, would simply fling them back or, in other words, would prevent them from . In an absolutely natural manner, it bars their entrance, without the necessity of any further action!
The position is similar, as between the developed human spiritual beings and the Primordial Beings, in the plane, in which they live!
Thus, The Castle of the "Grail" with it's spiritual extension, presently constitutes, the intermediary point, between the Divine and Creation!
Through the Castle, all the Radiation necessary for Creation, must flow, and " The Son of Man, as King of "The Grail", and "the only Mediator is, owing to the nature of His Origin ( which combines "Divinity with Spirituality" ), able to cross the border, into the Divine Sphere, from Creation! For this reason, the mystery of this "union", had to be brought about!
It is only far below this Castle of the Grail and the Sphere of the Primordial Beings, that Paradise lies! It is the highest and most beautiful sphere, for those human spiritual beings, who have fully matured in the "Divine Will, through obeying the Laws of His Radiations!
To avoid enlarging the picture of these happenings too far, details would be exempted here. Details on this issues, shall be explained later, in order for earthly scientists, can study, the individual processes, such as the development within the various spheres, their relationship to one and another, and so on!
Nothing must be passed over lest there be a gap, which would immediately call a halt to human spiritual beings" knowledge! Thus, when the "spirit" of an earthman in all it's maturity returns from it's long wandering and arrives at the boundary ordained, for it's species, i.e., to the point, where it encounters stronger pressure, it cannot increase it's own luminosity beyond what it's own full maturity, has already brought about!
The higher pressure of a much greater power, would disintegrate and consume it's particular species. In the greater degree of heat, to which it was exposed, then it"s ego would be losst. It could then no longer exist as human spiritual beings, for in merging with the "White Light", it would be dissolved, while in the region of the Primordial Beings, then it would become unconscious, through the higher pressure, assailing it, and prevailing there!
The "White--Light", i.e., the Radiation of Almighty God, in which only what is "Divine" can exist consciously, thus "carries" within itself, all the fundamental components of Creation which, in the gradual process of cooling off, deposit themselves in a downward direction, manifesting in forms, through motion, and as such uniting themselves with each other.
But they no longer merge with each other, because the pressure needed for this is lacking. With every degree, that the temperature decreases, a definite type precipitation, forms and remains behind.
First, "The Divine", later "The Spiritual" and then "The Animistic", until finally only "Ethereal Substance" and "Gross Matter, sinking still further!
Thus, Creation is actually the deposit formed, through the increasing cooling off, of The White-Light, of the Radiation of The Living Light!
The Spiritual, as also the Animistic, can also form, and become conscious, (but not yet self-conscious), at a very definite degree, in the process of cooling off, which is equivalent, to the "decrease in pressure" of Almighty God's Radiation.
If here, emphasis is laid on the melting or dissolution of the human spiritual beings, when the pressure of the Light Radiation, becomes too great, this does not refer to the "Nirvana" of the Buddhists, as these would perhaps like to procure interpretation of this explanation. The present explanation, merely concerns the happenings, as they occur, from the Light,...........downwards, whereas in comparison, "Nirvana" is meant to be the "climax", on the "way upwards"!
Here, the way would be blocked, because in order to ascend from the gross material earth, into the Spiritual Kingdom, into Paradise (at the highest boundary, of which, this point of dissolution, would be found or located), every human spiritual beings as "a conscious ego" must have already attained, to the highest maturity, a maturity, according to " The Divine Will" and not perhaps, as the human spiritual beings, imagine it should be. Otherwise, the human spiritual beings cannot enter this "Kingdom"
But if the human spiritual beings as a "self-conscious" spirit, has matured so far, it will be strictly held back and repulsed, at "the boundary", by the "increased pressure" of The Divine Sphere. It cannot proceed any further! Nor does the human spiritual beings, capable or wanting to do so!
The human spiritual beings would not be able to enjoy bliss, in the Divine Sphere, because it cannot live there, in the Divine Sphere, as human spiritual beings, but would and must have dissolved, while in The Spiritual Kingdom, in Paradise, the human spiritual beings would find the "eternal bliss", and in it's gratitude, thinks no more, of wanting to be completely dissolved!
Besides, in the "fullness" of the human spiritual beings" maturity, which they need for the uplifting and perfecting of the spheres, lying below them.
These spheres below, still being further deposits, can withstand even less pressure, than the human spiritual beings.
There, they, the human spiritual beings are the greatest, because it can "endure" and even has need of a stronger pressure! It is the task, of the human spiritual beings, in these lower regions, through the power inherent in it, to open everything that stands below them, as much as possible to the influence of the pure Radiations of the Light; and thereby, as a "Mediator, through which the "stronger pressure can operate, to dispense blessings to all else, because it can receive this higher pressure and distribute it, as a Purifying element, that destroys all "unclean"!
Unfortunately, the human spiritual beings, has made sad havoc of this! It is very true, that everything in Creation, that was meant to develop, actually did develop, up to the present time, following the pressure or the urge.
However, it developed, in the wrong way, because here, the human spiritual beings, has not only failed, but even misdirected this development downwards, instead of upwards! For this reason, only hideous caricatures of everything came into manifestation, instead of natural beauty!
To be natural, however, means to ascend, to strive upwards, following the attraction of the Living Power! Because, wherever there is naturalness, everything strives upwards only, just like every blade of grass, every blade of grass, every flower and every tree.
Thus, what the human spiritual beings' volition brought about, unfortunately bears only, an external resemblance, to that which, the human spiritual beings were supposed to accomplish! A rich inner life existence, for instance, may to the superficial observer, outwardly resemble the emptiness, which comes of a blasè attitude to knowledge.
Reverential Love of all, that is beautiful, at starting, bears some resemblance to "lustful desire" , because both, exhibit a certain enthusiasm, except that, the one is "genuine", and the other is "false", and only "a means to an end".
"Vanity" becomes a substitute for real "Charm", and place or position hunting, instead of honest service. And so it is with everything that the human spiritual beings, bring forth. Only and very rarely, do the human spiritual beings" way lead towards the "Light"!
Almost everything, and everything is inclined towards "darkness"!
All these, must be eliminated, in order, that in place of this "Sodom" and "Gomorrah", "The Kingdom of Almighty God, may now, come upon the gross material earth! Everything must finally, "turn" towards the Light, and for this purpose, the human spiritual beings are the "mediators"!
About "The Light", "Itself", about "Almighty God, nothing could be said! The "Subject" is off-limit and "too" Sacred!
Besides, this subject, the human spiritual beings could never come to grasp it!
The human spiritual beings must be eternally content, to know that, "Almighty God Is"!
LET THERE BE LIGHT!
LET THERE be Light!
How far man still is from grasping this great Word of Creating! Far even from the right desire to learn to understand this happening!
And yet he has never ceased to occupy himself with it for thousands of years.
In ''his way'', however!
Not in humility does he wish to take a spark of recognition from the Truth, to receive in purity, but only to puzzle out everything himself intellectually!
In the course of doing so he stubbornly tries to substantiate every proposition he sets up in accordance with the nature and need of his earthly brain.
This is quite for ''the things of the earth'' and for everything gross material, which includes the brain from which the intellect issues; for the intellect is nothing but gross material comprehension.
Thus all those who merely submit to the intellect, wanting only those things to be considered justified and correct which can be absolutely substantiated through the intellect, are very ''narrow - minded'' and inseparably bound to the World of Gross Matter.
With this, however, they are also furthest away from true knowledge and from knowledge in general, although just they in particular imagine themselves to be knowing!
Rightly considered, it is in this pitiable role that the whole of science presents itself to us today.
Narrowing itself, convulsively suppressing and fearfully rejecting everything which it cannot also press into the limited confines of its earthbound understanding!
They really reject it with fear, because in spite of their rigidity these learned men cannot indeed deny that there exists ''more'' than mere that which they can classify in the gross material plane, to the outermost ramification at the lowest end of this great Creation!
In their anxiety some of them become malicious and even dangerous towards all those who refuse to be embraced by this rigidity, but who expect ''more'' from the human spirit.
For this reason they not only investigate with their earthbound intellect, but reach out beyond gross material happenings with their ''spirit'', just as is worthy of a still healthy human spirit and as remains its duty in this Creation.
The intellectuals want to suppress ''alert'' spirits ''at all costs''.
This has been so for thousands of years. And the Darkness, spreading ever more rapidly mainly through the intellectuals - as a consequence of such gross material narrowness, gradually formed the soil which made it possible for the intellect to expand its power on earth.
Whatever could not be substantiated by the intellect was persecuted, if at all possible was ridiculed, to prevent it from getting a foothold and disquieting the intellectuals.
As a precautionary measure they tried to disseminate as wisdom, that everything which cannot be fathomed and proved by the intellect belongs only to an untenable theory.
For thousands of years this established principle of the intellectuals has been their pride, also their weapon and their shield.
It has even been their throne, which is now bound to collapse as soon as the ''spiritual'' awakening commences!
The spiritual awakening shows that this principle has been absolutely wrong, and that with boundless effrontery it was so twisted as just to protect the earthbound narrow - mindedness and to keep the human spirit in idle sleep!
Nobody realised that just this reasoning proved at the same time how far removed intellectual work lies from true knowledge.
Break the narrow bounds drawn around you in such a clever way as to render you incapable of developing beyond the pompous earthly erudition of the human intellect!
You will quickly learn to perceive intuitively that it is precisely those things which the intellect can substantiate that belong to ''theory''; for only earth - built theory can be substantiated as a structure, ''never true knowledge''!
Thus in this matter, too, it is just the contrary of what has been asserted hitherto. Here also everything must now become new, as mankind was promised by the Lord! -
Everything that can be ''proved'' by the intellect is earthly theory, nothing else!
And the scholarship of today is based on this, and presents itself to us ''in this way''!
But this has nothing to do with intelligence, i.e., with true knowledge!
There are scholars who, according to the Primordial Laws of Creation, i.e., according to reality, count among ''the most narrow - minded'' of human spirits, even though they possess a great reputation on earth and are highly esteemed by men. In Creation itself they only play a ridiculous role!
Some of them, however, can become really dangerous to the human spirits of this earth, because they lead them along false and narrow ways on which the spirit is never able to unfold itself.
They suppress them, seeking to impose upon them their own scholarship, which is fundamentally nothing but narrow - minded earthly intellectualism veiled with tinsel.
Awake and expand, you human spirits, make room for upward flight.
You are not made for the purpose of remaining only in the gross material sphere; you are to ''make use'' of it, but not to consider it your home.
In these perverted days many a farm labourer is more ''spiritually'' awake and thus more ''valuable'' in Creation than a scholar who has entirely lost his pure intuitive perception.
It has really a deep meaning when people talk of dry intellectual work or of dry scholarship.
How often does the most simple person hit unswervingly on the right thing with an expression of the intuitive perception!
The expression ''dry'' here means ''without life'', thus dead!
There is no life in it!
And the saying carries truth within it!
For this reason man will never be capable of grasping with his intellect the high conception of the Holy Word : ''Let there be Light!''
Nevertheless, or perhaps just because of this, the words ''Let there be'' leave him no peace of mind!
He tries time and again to picture this to himself in order to arrive at the ''how''.
Once he knows about the how he is soon confronted with the question of ''why?''
Finally he also wants to know ''why'' God let Creation come into existence at all!
Such is man's nature!
However, he desires to ''fathom'' everything himself, but he will ''never'' succeed in ''fathoming'' it!
For to do so he would have to work with his spirit.
In view of the present decisively dominating activity of the intellect, however, the spirit would be quite unable to set to work, because it is too badly confined and tied to what is ''gross material only'', whereas the beginning of Creation, as a part of an utterly different species, lies so infinitely far above the gross material.
For this reason man in his present state would never have any prospect of divining this, even if he had the inner capacity to do so.
But he ''has not'' the capacity to do so either!
The human spirit simply cannot fathom happenings in such heights, because they are far ''above'' that point where the human spirit can ''know'' something, .i.e., above where it is capable of absorbing anything consciously!
Wanting to fathom these matters can thus never enter into it!
Therefore it is of no avail for man to attempt to concern himself with it!
He can merely receive it in pictures as soon as he is willing to absorb a knowing of it in true humility.
This ''knowing of it'' is naturally not the knowledge itself, which latter he can never receive.
Thus if he desires seriously but humbly to know something about it, he may picture it to himself.
I will describe the process in such a way that he is able to absorb it.
To unfold it in its entire greatness before the human spirit, even if only in picture form, is impossible, because ''those'' mode of expression given to the human spirit to understand things do not suffice. -
In my lecture ''Life'' I have already explained how, upon the Act of the Will of God expressed in the words ''Let there be Light!'', the rays shot beyond the border of the Divine Sphere, and how then, as they proceeded downwards, they cooled off more and more and were bound to manifest.
Through the ever diminishing elasticity or pressure caused by the cooling off, various entities could gradually come to personal consciousness, first in the intuitive perception and then also by strengthening themselves little by little in outward activity.
However, it is better for me to say that the pressure does not diminish through the cooling off, but that the cooling off takes place through and within the slackening pressure.
I do not need to emphasise that each individual happening, each minute change in the cooling off process, spans immense spaces and distances, which again the human spirit can never understand and conceive.
In that lecture I contended myself with simply saying that the radiations were impelled beyond the boundary of the Divine Sphere through the Act of Will.
I did not speak further and explain why the radiations ''were'' then ''bound'' to shoot across the boundary of the Divine Sphere; for everything in the development of Creation happens only because it cannot be otherwise, thus strictly according to the Law. -
From all eternity the Holy Grail was the extreme pole of the direct Radiation of God; a vessel in which the radiation was collected at the last and furthest point in order, by flowing back, to become renewed ever again.
''Around '' it stood the Divine Castle of the Grail, with its gates shut fast towards the outside so that nothing could penetrate it any more and there was no possibility of any further cooling off.
Everything was guarded and watched over by the ''Elders'', i.e., the Eternal Unchangeable Ones who, at the outermost boundary in the Divine Sphere of Radiation, are able to live conscious of their existence. -
Now if man wishes to follow my description aright he must first realise that Will and Deed are always one in the ''Divine Sphere''.
Each word is directly followed by the deed or, more precisely, each word as such ''is'' already the deed itself, because the Divine Word possesses creative power, and thus immediately forms itself into the deed.
So it also was with the great Word : ''Let there be Light!'' ''Only God Himself is Light!''
And His Natural Radiation forms what to the human mind is the immeasurable circle of the Divine Sphere, the outermost anchorage of which is and was the Grail Castle from eternity.
When God wished that there should also be Light beyond the boundary of the immediate Divine Radiation, there could be no question of a simple arbitrary ''extension'' of radiation, ''but Light had to be placed at the outermost point of the immediate boundary of the Radiation of Divine Perfection'', in order to radiate forth from there through that which had not hitherto been illumine.
Thus God not only uttered the Words : ''Let there be Light'' according to human conceptions, but it was simultaneously a deed!
This was the great happening when a Part of Imanuel was sent out or born out from the Divine Sphere!
The placing out of a Light - Part from the Primordial Light in order that this Part might radiate and illuminate independently beyond the direct Radiation of God!
The beginning of the great development of Creation was the simultaneous consequence of the sending out of a Part of Imanuel. Thus Imanuel is the cause and the starting - point of Creation through the sending out of a Part of Him.
He is the Will of God, Who carries the Word; ''Let there be Light!'' living withing Himself, Who is this Word Himself!
The Will of God, the Living Cross of Creation, around Which Creation could and had to form!
Therefore He also is the Truth as well as the Law of Creation, which was allowed to form through Him, from out of Him!
He is the bridge from the Divine outward, the way to the Truth and to Life, the Creative Source and the Power which issues from God!
It is a new picture which unfolds before mankind, and yet a picture which does not distort anything, but which only sets right what has been distorted in human opinions.
Now you still have the question as to ''why''!
Why did God send out Imanuel!
Although this is a rather strange, indeed presumptuous, question asked by the human spirit, I will nevertheless explain it to you, because so many on earth feel themselves to be victims of this Creation through imagining that they can make mistakes God has created them faulty!
Their presumption even goes so far as to make a ''reproach'' of this, with the personal excuse that God only needed to create man in such manner that he could never think and act wrongly, and therewith the Fall of Man would not have occurred either!
But it is only the human spirit's capacity for free decision which brought about his decline and fall! Had he always heeded and followed the Laws in Creation there could have been ''nothing'' but ascent, happiness and peace for him; for that is how these Laws wish it to be.
When he disregards them he naturally bumps against them, stumbles and falls. -
In the Circle of Divine Perfection the ''Divine'' alone can partake of the joys of ''conscious'' existence which the Radiation of God bestows.
It is the purest of the pure in the radiation which can take on form, such as Archangels, for example; still further away at the outermost limit of the sphere of radiation also the Elders, who at the same time are the Guardians of the Grail in the Grail Castle within the Divine Sphere.
When this is accomplished that which is most powerful and strong is drawn out of the radiation.
From what is left animal forms, landscapes and buildings then arise in the Divine.
Therewith the nature of the last remnants changes ever more, but it is subject to the highest tension in the tremendous pressure brought about by the nearness of God, although even here His distance away must still remain vast and incomprehensible to the human spirit.
These last remnants, which as the ramifications and exhausted residues of the radiations can no longer take on form ''in the Divine Sphere, and which float along and surge about at the outermost boundaries of the Divine like little luminous clouds, also contain the spiritual.
Under the high pressure the latter cannot unfold and become conscious.
''The strong urge to do so'', however, is inherent in all that is spiritual, and ''it is this urge'' which like one great petition ascends out of the perpetual surging, which surging cannot at the boundary come to the point of weaving and forming.
And again it was this petition within the unconscious urge to which God yielded in His great Love, which He allowed to be fulfilled; for only ''outside'' the boundaries of all that is Divine was it possible for the spiritual, in following its urge, to unfold; so as in part consciously to enjoy the blessings of the Divine radiations, to live in them joyfully, and to build up and create a realm for itself which, flourishing and abounding in harmony, may become a monument raised to the honour of God, in gratitude for HIs Goodness in granting all that is spiritual the opportunity for the freest development and thus for the forming of all their wishes!
In accordance with nature and laws of the Radiation of God, ''nothing but happiness and joy was bound to ensue'' for all those becoming conscious therefrom.
It simply could not be otherwise, because any darkness is altogether foreign and incomprehensible to the Light itself.
Thus the great deed was a sacrifice of love on the part of God, Who severed and sent out a small Part of Imanuel just in order to grant a conscious enjoyment of existence in response to the perpetual petitioning urge of the spiritual.
To attain this the spiritual had to cross the boundaries of the Divine Sphere towards the outside.
However, only a part of the Living Light could pave the way for such happening, because the attraction of the Primordial Light is so strong that all else was held back at the boundary of its own immediate radiation and was unable to proceed further.
Thus there was but ''one'' possibility to grant the fulfilment of the urge of all that is spiritual : To send forth a Part from out of the Light Itself!
Only in Its Power, by using the way of the radiation of this Part of the Light as a bridge, could the spiritual cross the boundary toward becoming self - conscious.
But even this did not suffice because according to the Law this small Part of the Light would Itself also be drawn back by the Primordial Light.
Therefore the Part of the Light had to be ''anchored'' outside the boundaries of the Divine Sphere, otherwise the spiritual there would have been as good as lost.
Once having crossed the boundary of the immediate Radiation of God, which could only occur with the help of a Part of the Light, the spiritual was no longer subjected to this original power of attraction, because the ever increasing distance permitted a cooling off and a subsequent partial becoming conscious. Thus it no longer had this firm support, because in the cooling off another species came into existence, creating a separating gulf.
Only the Part of the Light, being homogeneous with the Primordial Light, always remained connected with the Primordial Light and also directly subject to Its Law of Attraction.
Thus the inevitable consequence would have been the drawing back of this emitted Part of the Light to the Primordial Light, which would have necessitated a constant repetition of the emission, and thus continual interruption of the Act of Grace.
This had to be prevented because, with a return of the Part of the Light across the border into the Divine Region to the Primordial Light, the spiritual outside the border would have immediately been left to itself and thus without any support, and without the supply of power it would have become unable to live. This would have meant the destruction of everything in existence outside.
Now for this reason the Primordial Light, God, connected the Part He sent out from Imanuel with a part of the purest extraction from all that is spiritual as a cloak, which acted as an anchorage of the Part of the Light with everything outside the border.
This was a sacrifice of love on the part of God for the sake of the spiritual, which was therewith able to become conscious and ''to remain so''.
The spiritual and everything issuing from it had thus found a support outside the border of the Divine and an eternal Source of Life, from which it could perpetually develop further. Simultaneously the bridge ( in character similar to a lowered drawbridge ) was built therewith from out of the Divine, so that the spiritual could perpetually renew and expand itself.
Thus a Part of Imanuel manifesting as ''Let there be Light'' became the starting - point and perpetual Stream of Life for Creation, the core around which all Creation could form.
First of all of the Primordial Spiritual Region as the Basic Creation, to which Imanuel formed the bridge.
This made Him the Outborn Son of God in the Radiation of Whom the Primordial Spiritual World could come to self - consciousness, the Son in Whose Radiation mankind developed, from which happening the surname ''the Son of Man'' originated; ''that'' Son Who directly stands above the human spirits because they could only develop to consciousness through Him.
In the mystery of the separation and sending forth of a Part of Imanuel this Part remained in the Grail Castle of the ''Divine'' Region by the Law, corresponding with His origin as King of the Holy Grail.
He opened the gate towards the outside and therewith formed the bridge over which the spiritual could pass.
He did ''not'' also ''cross the threshold'' in person; only His Radiations issued from this border into the space which up till then had been void of Light.
Thus Parsifal came into existence in the Primordial Spiritual as coming from Imanuel, always being connected with Imanuel by a tie or still more accurately, by an unbreakable radiation.
''This'' is the way in which man can imagine this connection.
They are Two, and yet They are but One in Their working - the Part of Imanuel in the Divine Part of the Grail Castle at the outermost border of the Divine Region, still standing within it and only forming the bridge, which remains kept open towards the Primordial Spiritual Sphere through Him, indeed within Him; and Parsifal in the Primordial Spiritual Part of the Grail Castle, which came into existence with the spiritual becoming conscious and with the forming of all the landscapes and buildings connected with this process, both Persons being inseparably linked and working as ''one'' Person, thus also being one! Parsifal is linked with Imanuel by a tie of radiation, at the same time also by a tie of radiation with Elizabeth, the Queen of Womanhood in the Divine, as His Mother, and thus He forms the permanent anchorage through the radiation connection.
From the radiations of Her mantle Elizabeth gave the first form - giving cloak for the Unsubstantiate radiating core of Parsifal.
Subsequent Creation could come into existence ''through the activity of the Prime - Spiritual Primordial Beings.
In descending the process is always a constant but weaker repetition of the Primordial Creation, which proceeds according to the respective laws.
As a matter of course the nature of the happening changes according to the respective transformation of the Laws.
There was no longer any direct link from Imanuel for Subsequent Creation, because this only developed as a consequence of Primordial Creation from the volition of the Primordial Spiritual Beings.
This process, however, was likewise based only on the Love towards the spiritual which, remaining unconscious in the Primordial Spiritual Realm, developed the same urge to become conscious as was the case previously with the Primordial Spiritual in the Divine Region.
But the power of the spiritual did not suffice to form itself immediately and at once to the state of consciousness in Subsequent Creation as was possible for the stronger Primordial Spiritual to do.
The last precipitation of the spiritual, not being as strong as the Primordial spiritual, had first slowly to develop in Subsequent Creation under the influence of the Prime - Spiritual Primordial Beings.
Since Subsequent Creation grew dark through the slowly developing human spirits and their fall, which was due to the one - sided cultivation of the intellect, it was necessary to intervene.
In order helpfully to put right again everything in which mankind had failed, Parsifal was linked with the World of Gross Matter in Abd-ru-shin.
Therefore Abd-ru-shin was Parsifal through the continued direct connection of the radiations, which cost great preparation and trouble to bring about. Through His Life on earth Subsequent Creation could again be given corresponding Light - Power to clarify, strengthen and help all that is spiritual, and passing through this the entire Subsequent Creation.
However, mankind of Subsequent Creation stubbornly opposed it and in their conceit refused to accept it, because they did not trouble themselves about the Laws in Creation and clung instead to their man - made theories!
Nor did they heed the mission of the Son of God, which was to bring them help ''before'' the World Judgment.
The World Judgment itself is a natural happening, and the consequence of establishing a straight line to the Light, which was accomplished by Parsifal's wandering through the parts of the world.
In this wandering the earth was the turning - point, being the outermost boundary in the World of Gross Matter, for due to the spiritual nature of a few men it still offered an anchorage for this.
Thus the earth is the last planet that can be saved, although it already belongs to the Realm of Darkness.
Whatever lies ''even'' lower in this respect than the earth, i.e., whatever is encompassed even more by the Darkness, is left to disintegration, to which all darkness is bound to fall a prey with everything it holds fast.
The earth has thus become the ''last'' stronghold of the Light on soil which is hostile to the Light.
Therefore the terminal point of the Light is now anchored ''here''.
The tighter the direct line of the Triune of the Light Activity, Imanuel - Parsifal - Abd-ru-shin, stretches from one day to the other, the more tangible and visible becomes the outworking of the power in the Divine Will, which creates order and forcefully straightens everything which mankind has distorted, that is, in so far as it can still be put right.
That which ''cannot'' be straight will have to break.
The Power of the Light never permits of anything intermediate!
Only when this line of the Light is stretched taut and ''straight'' does the world tremble from the Divine Power, does mankind the recognise Imanuel in Abd-ru-shin!
Such is the process of development in all simplicity!
Out of Love, the innate desire of all creatures consciously to experience was fulfilled!
However, out of love for all those who wish to have happiness and peace by obeying the Natural Laws of this Creation, everything that disturbs the peace therein will now be destroyed, because it proved unworthy of the permission to be self - conscious.
This is the World Judgment, rightfully dreaded!
The great Cosmic Turning Point!
The human spirit has no right whatever to ask about the ''why'' of Creation, for this is a demand upon God which he must not make, because through the voluntary fall of man he ''closed himself'' to all wisdom and the possibility of higher recognition!
But I gave an explanation in order to counteract the senseless illusions of the intellectuals, so that such human spirits as strive seriously for the Truth, and who are ready to receive it in humility, shall not allow themselves to be led astray by such wanton, blasphemous presumption in the moment of final decision - to be or not to be - for every creature! -
The true seeker will now gain much from knowing about this, for you all cannot live otherwise but in the Law!
The ''Living'' Law! Whether you are capable of absorbing it in your affair!
For I cannot help you with this either!
Mankind asked, begged, and I have answered in matters far above the human spirit's ability to comprehend, which are fulfilled vast distances away from him, following the adamantine course of Divine Justice and Divine Perfection. Man should bow down in humility!
