    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 requestsof 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 Schlesien, todays Poland I had a

    normally peaceful childhood, with six sisters in our parent home. I learned the cares of life at an early age. Thedesire to make money to help my parents made me learn the trade of a seamstress. As the financial needs of my

    parents continued, so 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 thateach child in later years could pursue their own chosen course.

    I myself was religious, but could not accept the doctrine of the Catholic system, although I respected the church. Icould 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 orscientific 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

    loosen himself from it. I also was not spared from this. But the question as to what is the Truth, and where it is to befound, 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 on the inner voice. In this attitude Ipersisted often, for a wonderful peace came over me and thoughts which came to my heart, not my head, gave

    me comfort and strength.

    5/45

    Still I did not know that these thoughts were given to me, until in a strange dream I experienced something, whichlater 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 Creafor of

    Heaven and Earth."

    Then came doubt, .did you write this by yourself? In short, I have wrestled, prayed and gone through manystruggles, but again and again the words came to me like a stream, a wisdom, which made me tremble. Then GODHIMSELF 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 listenedinwardly. 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 easilykeep 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 understandthe 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 ofecstasy. 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 thedictated 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 all respect foreign to me. It was onlyafter 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 given the Word of the Lord, that GOD had spoken to HISchildren 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 inwhich the Father displays HIS exceeding great goodness.

    It became clear to me that my short education, due to lack of money and my lack of time to read good books or visit

    performances, became my advantage. I could now concentrate on my work from early morning to late at night, andeach 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 toomuch bound to their 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 does not only concern the irrefutable explanation of the origin of matter and the possibility of itsdissolution, 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 makes the distance between himself and the Father even greater. When he does

    not follow the warning words of Love he puts himself inevitably under the law. He will also in the same measurelack in Grace, disregarding GOD' s commandment of Love.

    6/45

    In GOD' s Grace people are led anew to the gospel, which emphatically points out the purpose of man's being. Forthe merciful Love of GOD seeks to save all who still can be saved be fore the turning point comes. And it will come.

    The end-time of 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 donot want to know HIM.

    13.11.1963

    Cause of Lucifers apostasy from God.

    When I called miniatures of Myself into being I was motivated to do so by My infinite love which wanted to give itselfaway, which wanted to create vessels for itself in order to flow into them. My love demonstrates itself as strength,

    and this strength wanted to be creatively active, and thus My creations. because My strength flowed into these

    vessels. likewise had to be creatively active again, for these beings, as images of Myself, had the same intrinsic

    creative urge which impelled the constantly inflowing strength into activity again, because the strength which emanatedfrom Me as the primary source of strength constantly created life. And thus you will understand that all beings which

    had come forth from Me were in a state where they knew no restriction in the creation of manifold works, which made

    them blissfully happy. but that they, like Me, were not subjected to any restriction either, for My love was infinite,and thus My strength of love flowed into all beings in order to give them pleasure.

    Neither did the beings creative activity ever come to a standstill, because My strength had no limitation, it will neverspend itself, it will always and forever flow, and thus new creations will eternally arise, just as all My once emanated

    6

  • 7/28/2019 L34 - First Creation (4)

    7/45

    beings will receive My unlimited strength for creating and shaping as long as they open themselves to Me, i.e., as longas they do not resist My illumination of love. And this blissful state truly would never have needed to end because I, for

    My part, would never have imposed a restriction on the beings and thus they never needed to fear a lessening ofstrength either. And yet a change occurred in the beings greater than blissful state. caused by a situation which the

    beings considered to be imperfect: the fact that I Myself, their God and Creator, was not visible to them as a being likethemselves, that they indeed knew of Me as their Father from Whom they had originated, but because I did not visibly

    present Myself to them they looked at it as a limitation of My perfection. They began to entertain wrong thoughts since

    they did not openly raise this question with Me Myself, which I would have answered so that they could have realisedand corrected their wrong notion

    But they believed they could conceal these inner doubts about My perfection, and yet I knew of them. However, I didnot use coercion but gave their thoughts free rein which they nevertheless misused. For they also recognised the same

    doubts about My perfection in the first being I had externalised and whose beauty radiated in supreme brilliance. For

    eternities this being had given Me all its love indeed, and in this love it was exceedingly happy and shared My will.

    even though its will was also free.

    Yet now and then small doubts arose even in this brightly radiating being because it could not see Me either.Nevertheless, time and again its great love for Me suppressed the emerging doubts, and it gave itself to Me finding its

    beatitude in constantly creating same-natured beings by means of its will and the use of My strength. Yet this doubtabout Me kept emerging and he, too, did not put it to Me, which he could have done. He nourished the doubt so that

    it became increasingly stronger and reduced his love for Me. But thereby he also weakened himself since his reducedlove for Me also lessened My flow of love and thus restricted his creative activity as well.

    Had he been able to see Me it would not have been possible for him to turn away from Me, yet the fire of My love

    would have consumed him, for no created being is able to look into the primal fire of My love without ceasing toexist He knew it, too, because he possessed supremely enlightened awareness, yet he played with the thought to be

    greater than Me because he radiated in brightest light and supremely perfected beauty. He could not imagine anybeing to exceed him in light and beauty, and therefore he also claimed the right to rule over all created beings, whom he

    undoubtedly had created but the strength to do so he had received from Me. He now saw his power in the host of thespiritual beings and therefore believed himself able to do without My strength, he believed that he had withdrawn it

    from Me through the creation of the countless beings, and the fact that I did not visibly present Myself to him wasregarded by him as evidence of My powerlessness.

    And I did not disillusion him because I had externalised him as a completely free being which I will never ever compelinto changing its will and its thinking. even if he keeps his distance from Me for eternities. Now My strength met

    with opposition and resistance, and consequently it remained completely ineffective. And now this, My first-created

    being, is no longer capable of generating any works of creation, yet it believes itself great and powerful because it looksupon the immense number of spiritual beings as his possession, who, like him, had revolted against Me and rejected My

    illumination of love. They, too, are incapable of any activity, because they also moved infinitely far away from Me.But it was their free will, which I respect and thus they will remain distant from Me until they voluntarily approach Me

    again and appeal to Me for My illumination of love. Even the first-created being.... My present adversary. will takethe path of return to Me one day, sooner or later he, too, will long for My illumination of love again and voluntarily

    accept it from Me, because one day he will give up his resistance, even if it takes an eternity. Yet everything that wasonce emanated by Me as strength will inevitably return to the eternal source of strength again. Amen

    3.4.1964

    God only created beings of equal perfection.... I.

    I only emanated one being.... Lucifer, the bearer of light. whom I created for Myself in order to give Myself and Mylove to him, and which therefore was shaped in My image which came forth from Me in supreme perfection, which

    arose before Me as a thought and already existed in its abundance of light and strength. as could not otherwise bepossible because nothing imperfect could emerge from Me. I created this being for My own happiness, because Myfundamental nature is love and love constantly wants to give pleasure, but prior to this no spiritual being existed which

    was able to receive My love. It was a mirror image of Myself, I saw Myself in My externalised being, it was, to some

    extent, My second Self, which likewise unified love, wisdom and might within itself so that it could not be anythingelse but I Myself, and which therefore was also inexpressibly happy because it was constantly infused by My strength

    of love. I wanted an identical being next to Me because My creative strength made Me exceedingly happy and I wantedto provide a being with the same happiness in order to take pleasure in its bliss . My fundamental substance is love, and

    this love, in turn, is strength. My strength of love was unable to remain inactive and constantly brought spiritualcreations into being. Yet no-one apart from Me was able to take pleasure in these creations and this motivated Me to

    create a likeness of Myself. a being which had the same nature as I Myself, with the difference that it had abeginning, whereas I Am everlasting. I enjoyed beatitudes beyond measure by radiating My strength of love into My

    created being which then, permeated by the same strength of love, also wanted to be creatively active and was able to

    do so because it was completely free. It was utterly absorbed in My love, a constant exchange of love took place, for thelove I gave was returned to Me by the being in the same way. The being was fond of Me and totally engrossed with Me.And that resulted in unimpeded illumination with love, unimpeded illumination with strength which wanted to become

    active. And since the creation of the first spirit of light had given Me extreme happiness, its bliss also consisted of the

    8

  • 7/28/2019 L34 - First Creation (4)

    9/45

    creation of the same beings. thus from both of our strength of love a countless host of the same beings emerged,which were all supremely perfect and exceedingly blissful. This process has already been explained to you though My

    revelations. And yet you keep asking questions as to who really was the creator of the elevated and highest beings oflight, because in your state as a human being you already have a different concept of the originally created spirit of

    light, since you are no longer in possession of full realisation as a result of sin.

    However, you forget that all original spirits have their origin in Me and the bearer of light.... that the latter used My

    strength for the creation of all spiritual beings. that you therefore came forth from Me and from him, but his will usedMy strength which flowed to him without restriction. And therefore you will also understand that the bearer of light hadan exceptional position, because he was the only one who was called into life by Me. Although he certainly lost his

    strength and power through his apostasy from Me, he lost his realisation and fell into the deepest abyss, he isnevertheless still the same originally created spirit, which is now as active as a direct opposite as he was formerly

    devoted to Me with burning love and enjoyed supreme beatitudes. All other fallen beings were dissolved in their

    fundamental substance, the once emanated strength was reshaped into the most manifold creations. The bearer of light,

    however, having lost all light, remained the being he was from the start, he merely turned into the opposite, so that hebecame My opposite pole and now serves Me as an opposite pole in the return of the fallen spiritual beings. For these

    spiritual beings had once been put to the test to acknowledge Me or him, and they followed him and became lost. Andnow they will be tested time and again, for My existing adversary insists on his claim on the fallen beings, just as I will

    not surrender them since they emerged from My strength of love, but the being itself makes the decision. My adversaryasserts his rights and influences the beings in a negative sense, while I try to win the beings over for Me through

    influencing them in a positive way. And countless beings support Me; they, too, were created by him but theyrecognised Me as the source of strength from which he also originated. And they have remained in beatitude because

    they still receive My strength of love continuously and are active in a creative and shaping way. However, self-awarebeings were only externalised by Me and the bearer of light in unison, and these self-aware beings will indeed continue

    to exist forever. Only the once fallen beings lost their self-awareness for a certain period of time in order to be able toaccomplish the ascent from the abyss again in a dissolved state. But they will receive their self-awareness again as soon

    they have to pass their final test of will as a human being. But My spiritual adversary must be taken into account at alltimes, for he remained what he was. and he will continue to remain who he is for infinitely long periods of time; even

    so, one day he will change his nature again and reshape himself into love, and he, too, will be blissfully happy withoutlimitation again. Then My love will permeate him again, as it was in the beginning. Amen

    B.D. 87984.4.1964

    God only created beings of equal perfection.... II.

    (Continuation of no. 8797)

    However, after the creation of My first being of light nothing of inferior value emerged from Me Myself and this beingof light. Your human thinking is still limited because you are not perfect yet, and thus the thought occurred to you that

    the beings, having emerged from our mutual love, cannot be put on par with the first-created being. But this thought ismisguided, because it was the same strength and the same will of love which brought them to life, therefore there were

    only ever supremely perfect beings. true images of Myself. You humans indeed compare your fellow humanbeings, you can detect more mature and immature traits of nature, consequently you also assume that you can make

    such evaluations regarding the originally created beings. But surely you understand that such valuations are notappropriate concerning the creations which came forth from Me and My love. All creations of a spiritual nature were

    only of the highest perfection, and in particular the created beings were of supreme perfection. The fact that part of

    them nevertheless fell does not entitle you to assume that these fallen beings were less perfect and fell because theircreator Lucifer, due to his recurring rejection of My strength of love, had created inferior beings. For even a number of

    the first beings which were created by our will of love followed him when he turned away from Me and proceeded

    towards the abyss. Nor did the individual beings strength of will differ; it was, however, free. and that explains

    everything. For freedom knows no limitations, and a free will must be able to develop in all directions. The individualbeings wrong thinking is the second explanation for the fall. The ability to think also allowed for wrong thinking, towrongly interpret My Word which the beings, due to their constant illumination of love, heard within themselves. They

    were not compelled to interpret the Word only in one direction.... by virtue of their faculty of thought they were also

    9

  • 7/28/2019 L34 - First Creation (4)

    10/45

    able to apply a different meaning to it and so they did when they rejected My love, for thereby they also lost their powerof perception and their thinking became confused. In addition, the limitless flow of strength of love made them

    arrogant, so that in their abundance of strength they believed themselves to have the same power, so that their love fortheir Creator therefore diminished and the being more or less made demands.... which was demonstrated by their desire

    to visibly present Myself to the beings. They believed themselves to be entitled to it, and this wrong way of thinkingwas transferred on to them by My first-created being. It expressed this desire despite the fact of knowing full well that

    it had to remain unfulfilled were My created beings to continue to exist. Thus it can certainly not be said that any of the

    fallen beings has merely been a victim of its creators will, for every single being had the right of self-determination andwas also in possession of brightest realisation. But every fallen being became spiritually arrogant and forgot, or refusedto acknowledge, that it had originated from Me. that I therefore had been its Creator and Father, against Whom its

    revolt was the worst sin which the being would never ever be able to redeem by itself again. All beings were created inequal perfection, and the fact that a number of equally created beings remained loyal to Me is already proof in itself of a

    greater than greater guilt. they only did not relinquish their love for Me. whereas those which had fallen rejected

    My love, and this was their immense original sin which was subsequently intended to be redeemed by One Who

    belonged to the beings which remained faithful to Me. The fallen beings cannot be excused by some kind ofimperfection, with lacking perception, less illumination or a weak will. They had the same nature as those who

    remained loyal to Me, yet in awareness of their immeasurable strength they arrogantly no longer accepted My strengthof love and were thereby also deprived of all strength. They must laboriously gain strength again if they want to become

    what they were in the beginning. Any kind of imperfection would have been an excuse for a beings apostasy, but thisdid not exist, and when Lucifer saw the countless multitudes of created beings in brightest illumination and supreme

    strength which had emerged from his will by using My strength he exalted himself above Me because he was unable tobehold Me, but he himself was visible in his magnificence to the countless multitudes of spirits.

    However, untold original spirits remained faithful to Me, they were created to be exactly the same as the fallen spirits

    and not advantaged by Me in any way, they merely returned their infinite love to Me which permeated them and whichthey constantly received from Me and thus became increasingly more blissful, whereas the love of the fallen beings

    became a selfish love which no longer wanted to please but only wanted to take. This process is and will remaininexplicable to you humans because it was a spiritual process which can only be understood by the spirit; nevertheless,

    the circumstances which motivated Me into bringing the material world and its creations into being can be roughlyexplained to you, and time and again I will try to enlighten you, as far as your intellect is able to grasp it, and correct

    any misguided opinion, since one single misguided thought is already enough for you to construct a wrong edifice ofideas which you will no longer be able to dismantle and yet you will be far removed from the truth. You would also do

    well not to brood over things which are irrelevant for your souls salvation.... which only show some kind of craving for

    knowledge, the satisfaction of which does not contribute in the slightest towards attaining full maturity of soul. Forwhat you need to know will be conveyed to you by Me, yet always on condition that your own maturity of soul will

    determine the measure I hand out.

    Yet you shall always know that I Am supremely perfect, that everything is based on My love, wisdom and might and

    that no imperfections can be present when this bond with Me exists. And this existed at the creation of the beings, forthe being I externalised. the bearer of light. was most intimately devoted to Me and was therefore able to receive

    boundless beatitudes through the influx of My strength of love. And it used this strength of love again in accordancewith My will, because its will was in line with Mine as long as we were united by deepest love. Every act of creation,

    however, necessitates the flow of My strength of love, and therefore every created being had to be called perfect when itwas brought into life. The fact that it then changed into the opposite and became an imperfect being was purely the

    result of its free will, which was the same as Mine as long as the beings love belonged to Me. When it resisted My loveit had to leave the eternal order and continued to possess brightest illumination until it decided to turn away from Me for

    good. Only then did it lose its realisation, only then its spirit darkened, and only then did it become My opposite. It wasno longer a divine being but adopted all the qualities of the one who first revoked his love for Me and became My

    adversary. Henceforth it forfeited its perfection, it became poorly shaped and was hostile minded towards Me, Mystrength of love was no longer able to touch it, and thus all spiritual substances hardened which I subsequently reshaped

    into material creations. into the complete opposite which it had been in the very beginning. Nevertheless, this fallenspiritual being always has the opportunity to regain its original state if it is willing to abandon its resistance to Me and

    once again voluntarily allows itself to be illuminated by My strength of love. The apostasy from Me happened out offree will, and the return to Me must therefore also take place out of free will. Then the being will be and remain

    infinitely happy again. Amen

    Only perfection came forth from Me.... for profound love and supreme wisdom created everything and nothing wasimpossible for My power. Hence I was also able to externalise beings of supreme perfection which, as My images, were

    very pleasing to Me. They were created as miniatures of Myself and it made Me extremely happy to allow these

    creations of Mine to create and work in an abundance of light and strength in order to also bestow upon them the samepleasure of finding happiness in their created works. All beings were therefore permeated by the necessary creative

    strength which enabled them to be likewise creatively active. However, they were more or less only the implementersof My will, since with the strength of love flowing to them the beings were also imbued by My will, thus they would

    only ever have remained My creatures had I not externalised them as completely free beings, with free will, whichthey were able to display in any direction. Only this made them supremely perfect, but it also enabled them to lose their

    perfection.... As long as they were governed by My will they would never have lost their state of perfection, free will,however, provided them with this opportunity, just as, on the other hand, it also enabled the complete deification of the

    created beings. so that they, like children, were able to partake in My activity and creating of their own free will and

    yet with Me and in absolute accord with My will. Then the highest goal will have been reached which I had intendedwhen I created beings in My love and My power.... For then the being can no longer lose its perfection and can bedescribed as infinitely happy. But it would have been possible for every being, as there was no reason to turn away from

    Me when it was able to make use of its free will. It was perfect and only needed to use its will to remain in this

    11

    12/45

    perfection.... The explanation that it became imperfect and fell was due to its awareness of strength and light, for itwanted to prove that it was full of light and strength. And thus it misjudged My love, which bestowed everything

    entirely selflessly upon the being in order to make it happy. Just a single arrogant thought was enough to cloud the lightof realisation and this was followed by increasingly more wrong thoughts, which turned its will in the wrong direction

    because it was free.

    It is difficult to make you humans understand how it is possible for a perfect being to fall in the first place. because

    perfection always signifies light as well, i.e. complete realisation. But precisely the awareness of its abundantstrength made the being consider the strength within itself more than the light, and the abundance of strength made iteasy for it to become arrogant, which instantly clouded the light. Like Myself the being was constantly able to

    externalise new creations and it began to displace Me, the primary source of strength.... It no longer wanted toacknowledge its relationship of dependency on Me and once it had embraced this thought it also lost track of the

    dreadful consequences resulting from its direction of will. However, a free being externalised by Me must also have the

    freedom to be able to change its nature. for perfections should not denote a state of compulsion for the being,

    otherwise it truly couldnt be called to be in My image. But the being will indeed always keep this freedom of self-transformation; consequently, from its freely chosen and created state of imperfection it can also attain supreme

    perfection again and thereby reach My intended goal that it becomes and remains My child. I would never have beenable to create such children for Myself because the divine characteristic of free will has to become active by itself....

    so that that the living creation in its perfection as granted by Me was able to want to remain in it voluntarily or. if itfailed this test of will. had to acquire the degree of perfection again which it once forfeited of its own free will.

    Anyone who can grasp this enigma will also understand My eternal plan of Salvation and he will know that only infinitelove and wisdom was able to devise such a plan, because I want to prepare a fate for My created beings which signifies

    supreme happiness forever.... And My love, wisdom and might will pursue this goal until it is reached, until all spiritualbeings having emerged from Me can create and work by My side in supreme beatitude, as intended by My plan of

    eternity. Amen

    Deification of the created beings.

    In the beginning you all were on My side because you were utterly permeated by My strength of love which drew you

    to Me. You enjoyed a state of supreme beatitude because you were divine beings, you were My shaped emanations of

    love, formations of highest intelligence and in possession of light and strength which, in turn, enabled you to becreatively active. You were perfect beings, images of Myself except that you had come forth from Me, whereas I

    Myself Am eternal and apart from Me no other creative power reigned. Consequently, everything having emerged fromMe was My work. Even the first-created being which, with My approval and with the use of My strength, produced

    all of you. Even this being was My work and not, as it wanted you to believe, the creative power itself. Countlessbeings were brought into life by this being because it wanted to make creative use of the constant influx of strength

    from Me. and it was indeed capable of doing so because I externalised it as a perfect being like Myself for this verypurpose. to populate the infinite spiritual kingdom for its own blissful happiness. The pleasure I experienced

    should also make My first-created being happy and therefore I granted it unlimited light and strength, I gave it free will

    which it was allowed to use as it wished. but which it should have used according to My will if it wanted to be activein line with its perfection. However, it started to use its will in opposition to My will. which was indeed possiblesince the being was entirely free, thus its perfection would not have been questioned by any coercion whatsoever.

    Nevertheless, this would have been impossible had the being aspired more for My love than for My power. had it

    12

  • 7/28/2019 L34 - First Creation (4)

    13/45

    been satisfied with the strength of My love it constantly received. The immense number of created beings broughtinto life by our mutual love aroused its wish to control them. and although it knew that My strength had been

    instrumental in the creation of these beings, its love turned into an opposite feeling. it was envious of My strengthand therefore intended to separate the beings called into life by My strength in order to possess and rule them himself.

    But since these living creations of Mine were permeated by My strength of love which kept them inseparably unitedwith Me. it would have been impossible for him to separate them from Me had I not released them Myself. which I

    indeed did for the sake of My beings deification.

    You, who had been created in all perfection, would only ever have remained My creatures. creations which wouldonly ever be able to think and act according to My will but which did not correspond to My idea when I created you:

    free children who existed and worked in supreme perfection, who are certainly active according to their own will which,however, as a result of their love for Me, was the same as Mine. This is what I wanted to achieve and therefore set

    you free for you to shape yourselves into what I had set as a goal for Me. I did not withdraw My love from you, but

    neither did I stop the first-created being. which is My adversary now. from influencing you as well. Yet you, too,

    were endowed with free will and able to make a free decision for Me or for the first-created being. You did not haveto fall, for you were enlightened and able to feel My love and could have allowed yourselves to be drawn by it to Me.

    However, the first-created being exerted great influence over you and you fell prey to it. You voluntarily followed theone who did not make you happy but pulled you into the abyss instead. For My adversary resisted Me, he rebelled

    against Me, he rendered My strength of love ineffective. I Myself did not withdraw it from him but he distancedhimself to such an extent that My illumination of love became increasingly weaker because he openly opposed it. in

    the belief that the host of his followers he had pulled into the abyss with him gave him enough strength of his own.From then on you all had to do without My strength of love even though I Myself did not withdraw it; instead, you had

    rejected it and therefore become weak and spiritually unenlightened. You voluntarily forfeited your originalinconceivably happy state. Even so, you shall not remain in your self-chosen condition forever, because My love will

    not abandon you, because you are My living creations as well and I will not leave you forever in a state which entirelycontradicts your purpose and your origin. I will not give up the goal I once had set for Myself. the deification of

    the beings I created. I will accomplish it, and those of you who are still wretched as a result of your past rebellionagainst Me, willalso enter the kingdom of light again one day, you will enjoy unlimited strength and be blissfully

    happy. However, I will not exert force on you, you must completely voluntarily take the path of return to Me whichwill lead you back into perfection, which was once part of you and which you forfeited but which you will attain again

    one day, because My love only pursues this one goal, that one day you will work and be active again in light andstrength as My children in My kingdom. Amen

    14/45

    It remains perpetually unfathomable for human beings what moves God to rule and work as He does, because humanintellect cannot comprehend what motives form the basis for Gods expression of strength; neither can it comprehend

    the interactions because it can only see and feel the result of what primordially had happened in the spiritual realm, in aworld, of which all visible creations are mere weak reflections that cannot even comparatively be referred to and which

    were only created as a result of what had taken place a long time ago in the realm of Gods created spirits. These werethe purest expression of His strength, consequently they too were powerful and strong, they were of the highest

    perfection. Gods creative will had transferred itself to His created beings too, with the result that all His thoughts

    urged to express themselves in them as well and therefore a creative will of unimaginable extent inspired these beingswhich now became active without restriction. In other words, new creations were produced which surpassedthemselves; however, these new creations were always inspired beings and of greatest perfection too, therefore also

    cognitive and in possession of free will.

    The first entity which came forth out of God outshone everything with its light and strength because it had developed

    from God Himself and found its bliss in the constant use of its unlimited strength. Its creations increased and its bliss

    grew immeasurably, God had imposed on it no limitations. However, He put it to the test because He wanted the entityto become aware of itself as the carrier of Gods outgoing strength. This test required that the entity. Lucifer.

    should depict God to his creations as their origin, in order that he too would continue to always consciously accept thestrength, which enabled him to be creatively active, from God. Thus he was meant to acknowledge God as his Creator

    and source of strength and his bliss would be unlimited for all eternity. He was not put to the test merely for the sake ofthis acknowledgment but he was expected to make a decision of his own free will that was intended to elevate him from

    the perfectly created being to a perfect being of his own volition, so that he too could use his power and strength as atruly divine being within the will of God.

    And he failed. He did not want to be the recipient but the source of strength himself, and the amount of strength at his

    disposal seemed proof enough to him. Therefore he volitionally separated himself from God, although a separationfrom Him was not possible since he couldnt exist without God. And since his will, with the use of Gods strength, had

    created innumerable beings, he considered himself as their creator and of enormous strength and power; consequentlyhe volitionally separated from God in arrogance and lust for power, thereby becoming sinful and pulling all of his

    creations into sin too. Although they themselves were still innocent they were completely under the influence of himwho had given them life.

    And these were now given the right of self-determination by God, they were permitted to see the light and in their

    perfection also recognised their origin, they could therefore also stay with God and participate in His glory. However,

    only few followed Him, that is, only few chose to stay with God of their own free will and, as His angels, wereconstantly with Him and worked for Him in the spiritual realm. The greater part, however, fell. they followed their

    creator, freely chose to accept his will as their own and by doing so fell into a state of spiritual darkness. His

    awareness was taken from him because the effect of the strength reduces as soon as the entity distances itself fromGod.

    But everything was and is strength out of God which eternally cannot be lost and therefore must return to Him in a way

    that Gods wisdom has judged to be effective. And this way is the progression through the earthly physical creation,which God had brought into being for the purpose of leading the fallen spirit back to Him. The spirit moves through this

    creation with a bound will, that is, in a state of compulsion on the slow path of upward development until it reaches thestage when its free will is returned to it and it is once again confronted with the decision to choose the power it wants to

    adhere to. The being is burdened with the sin of its past opposition to God but can release itself by using Gods strengthwhich it once had rejected; however, it has to acquire this through works of love and by consciously requesting it from

    God in prayer. It has to use its free will during its earthly life in the right manner. it has to turn towards God againand acknowledge Him as eternal Father and Creator. Then it returns once more to the state of light, it becomes a

    recipient of strength and can work again in accordance to its will which now is also Gods will. and it shall be able tocreate and shape for its own happiness and thus be eternally blessed. Amen

    Every being fell and ascends voluntarily....

    I certainly knew the direction of your will when I created you, I knew that you would make the wrong decision of your

    own free will. Yet this did not prevent Me from completing My plan of Creation because I also foresaw the final goalwhich will result in unlimited bliss for the created beings once again. Besides, those beings really fell entirely of their

    own free choice.... Since every being enjoyed an immense abundance of light it also knew what it was doing when it

    distanced itself from Me.... thus it was fully responsible and cannot blame any other being.... not even Lucifer, itsmaker. For I would never have allowed a beings will to be determined.... it was able to freely want and act by itself andso, accordingly, was its guilt which kept it chained to the abyss. Yet on the other hand, each one of these fallen beings

    had the opportunity to shape itself into a godlike being again. For the process that took place from the moment it fell

    14

  • 7/28/2019 L34 - First Creation (4)

    15/45

    into the abyss was a plan of Salvation based on love and wisdom which made this retransformation into perfectionpossible. The beings were by no means lost to My adversary forever, although they had followed him voluntarily.... Yet

    I, too, was entitled to these beings because they had emerged from My strength of love. And I will not allow anyoneto deny Me this right. Nevertheless, neither I nor My adversary will ever force the being to make a decision for Me or

    for him, instead, it is left up to its free will to choose its lord. I know that the final decision will sooner or later be in Myfavour but the being itself determines the time it takes for this final decision. But the goal motivated Me not to prevent

    the beings fall.... which I certainly could have done but, in My wisdom, recognised as wrong in view of the goal, which

    only an act of complete freedom of will can achieve. The fact that I knew every individual beings decision in advancedid not influence the act of creation insofar as I might have created the beings differently according to their direction ofwill....Supreme perfection adorned all My living creations given that nothing flawed, imperfect, could have emerged

    from Me. And their free will especially demonstrated their divinity, even if it was aimed in the wrong direction and thusthe being changed within itself into the opposite.... But retransformation is such an immense task for the being,

    something so enormous, that the goal motivated Me to nurture it with greatest love, wisdom and might.

    Reshaping the fallen beings into all kinds of creations was an act which gave Me much happiness, something which youhumans cannot imagine.... It was My strength, which once inexorably poured out of the Primary Source, which now

    took on forms according to My will.... And since every created spiritual being was My once-emanated strength whichdid not fulfil its actual purpose, it was now diverted into those forms, giving them life and performing tasks.... because

    all strength coming forth from Me must become active according to My will.... However, the once fallen spirits are nolonger self-aware, instead, disintegrated into innumerable tiny particles, they carry out a designated task in the law of

    compulsion.... They must yield to My will in order to attain the state in which self-awareness and free will can bereturned to them... This process of development of the once fallen spirits is My plan of Salvation, which was designed

    with profound love and unsurpassed wisdom and which, with certainty, will return all once fallen beings to Me insupreme perfection.... which can only be achieved by the free will of the being itself and not by virtue of My power. But

    the fact that everything has to take place according to My law of eternal order may also prolong the process of returnindefinitely, for I cannot intervene against the beings will when it has to pass its final test as a human. I must let

    love and justice prevail and cannot bestow bliss upon a being which is still burdened by the guilt of the original sin....For this reason I must demand the acknowledgement of Jesus and His act of Salvation on earth, and the person must

    take his original sin to Him under the cross and appeal to Him for forgiveness.... Then he will have passed the final testof will, he will have acknowledged Me Myself again in Jesus, in Whom I became a visible God for him and can now

    provide him with supreme bliss again in My kingdom, in which he will stay united with Me for all eternity.... Amen

    Transformation from death into life....

    I guide all that is dead into life.... For the origin of everything in existence was life. It was a state of constant activityin light and strength, for the strength of My love. the foundation of everything in existence. also permeated that

    which emerged from Me as a being, and this strength had to become effective in continuous activity. This activity

    consisted of constantly creating; however, the kind of creations cannot be explained to you since they were spiritualcreations which your still limited thinking is unable to grasp. But it was active, and this activity was the evidence oflife. When the beings turned away from Me, when they opposed My strength of love, they gradually fell into a state

    of inactivity, and thus their state of life became a state of death.. They hardened within their substance and became

    15

  • 7/28/2019 L34 - First Creation (4)

    16/45

    immobile, rigid and incapable of all activity. But then they could no longer be called happy. And countless beingsare still in this state of death, which once came forth from Me in all perfection, which were abundantly happy because

    they were able to be effective in light and strength without restriction. but which nevertheless voluntarily gave uptheir perfection when they opposed Me and rejected My illumination of love, when they followed My adversary.... who,

    as My first-created being, also detached himself from Me. into the abyss. Hence their state of life became a state ofdeath. However, I will not leave them in this state forever, I will try to bring the dead back to life and will not rest

    until I have reached My goal that everything which had once fallen away from Me has returned to Me. until it has

    come alive again. But this process of return to Me will take an infinitely long time, which certainly will come to an endone day but the duration of it is determined by the being itself. For I have to take free will into account, which is thepossession of every being as a sign of its Divinity and which therefore also determines the form and duration of the

    process of return. Everything you see around you, thus every work of creation, only emerged for the purpose of thisprocess of return, for I devised a plan of Salvation which My love and wisdom recognised as successful and which is

    implemented by My power. I want to bring everything that is dead back to life.

    And that means that all that which is rigid, all that which is incapable of activity, must gradually be allowed to becomeactive again. But this is now decided by Me Myself, because I restrained the formerly rebellious will for a certain time

    of higher development so that it slowly returns to a state of life although in a state of compulsion. i.e., during thistime it has no free will, but has to move according to My will, in order to then, after an infinitely long path of

    development, reach a state of free will once again. And this process of development involves passing through allcreations on earth.. it is a process which becomes understandable to you if you imagine that every work of creation is

    animated by individual substances of soul, which formerly belonged to the once fallen being and which, in its deadstate, was dissolved into countless tiny particles, which thus carry out their designated task within the creations

    according to My will. according to the divine law of nature. You humans are only intended to get a rough idea ofwhat Creation fundamentally consists of. you should know that it did not arbitrarily arise without meaning and

    purpose but that it has a tremendously significant purpose indeed: to contribute towards awakening all that which isdead into life. For that which once deserted Me were beings which I externalised as images of Myself, which I

    wanted to make supremely happy and, at the same time, find My happiness therein as well. They had been My lovesliving creations, which I will never abandon and which I also want to help out of their self-inflicted state of death,

    which I want to guide into everlasting life. And since My love for My once created beings has not diminished I willnot slacken in My efforts to bring these dead creatures back to life. Yet one day they will also receive their free will

    again, and then they will have to complete the work of My love themselves.. They must strive towards Me again oftheir own free will, just as they once turned away from Me. Thus they must choose a state of life themselves, for their

    final perfection is not determined by My but by their will. And if this will fails, then the being itself will indeed extend

    the duration of its state of death, but one day I will reach My goal with certainty, for I will leave nothing in a state ofdeath which once emerged from My love into a free life in light and strength.. Amen

    Childship to God is the object of life on earth. The Word of God.

    The process across earth as a human being is a greater than great gift of grace from Me; after all, it offers you theopportunity to shape yourselves into a child of God, for you once came forth from Me as creatures of My will, My love

    and My strength. You certainly possessed supreme perfection, because nothing imperfect could emerge from Me,even so, you were a mere product of My will which could not be any different from how I created it; yet I wantedchildren which were to create and work with Me in supreme beatitude. You had to strive for and acquire this

    childship yourselves by totally accepting My will, even though you also had the freedom to think and want in completecontradiction to My will. Thus you had to be put to the test; you had to prove your love for Me by not accepting any

    other will than Mine. This test of will was demanded of you and you did not pass it. You wanted you own way,despite the fact that you were brightly illuminated by the light of realisation. However, you were not forced to think

    and want like Me and thus you misused this freedom of will. You had once been self-aware beings, but after thiswrong decision of will you lost your self-awareness because it had been My eternal plan that you nevertheless should

    one day create and work in the same will as Mine in supreme happiness. You should be able to shape yourselves intochildren of Mine and this necessitated an infinitely long path of development from the deepest abyss, which you

    voluntarily strove for, to the highest peak. Disintegrated into minute particles you travelled this path through all thecreations on earth without self-awareness. until you reached the degree of development in which you regained your

    self-awareness when you lived on earth as a human being in order to voluntarily make the right decision of will, butwhich will then also lead to your childship to God, which guarantees you supreme blissfulness. Making this right

    decision in earthly life as a human being will truly not be made too difficult for you because, since I Myself yearn forthe return of My living creations as My children, I will help you in every possible way to reach the goal. I just must

    always respect your free will, which has to accomplish this change into a child of God.

    However, I shall do everything in My power to direct your will correctly. I speak to you Myself, and thisaddress has

    a truly powerful effect, it merely requires your free will again to listen to it. My Word is the greatest gift of grace you

    may receive from Me, for you once rejected this Word when you separated yourselves from Me voluntarily, and itshould only be given to you again in your state of perfection. But I grant it to you as a gift, I provide you with an

    unmerited gift of grace and only expect your willingness to accept it. But then you can also be certain that you willattain the goal. the childship to God. For once you are willing and allow Me to speak to you, My Word has the

    effect that you are ready to fulfil My will and you try, even if you still have to struggle and fight because you are weak

    creatures as long as you still live on earth in an imperfect state. Yet you can recognise My greater than great lovewhich leaves no stone unturned in order to regain you as true children so that I can provide you with unlimited bliss.And if My love for you is so strong, then it will also help every individual living creation, it will not leave them to their

    own devices.. Only, it must not oppose Me again as in the past, and that happens when it refuses to listen to MyWord, when it rebuffs My messengers or completely and indifferently ignores the greatest gift of grace which can be

    offered to him on earth. In that case the being will lack the strength for its final ascent, and his life on earth as ahuman being will be pointless and can lead into the abyss again if the human being does not change before his death.

    However, anything that can be done from My side for the salvation of such souls will indeed be done, for truly, I do notwant its downfall, I want everyone to become blissfully happy. Amen

    The human being is close to the goal.

    You humans are close to the goal. Dont invalidate the success of your previous long life on earth by failing now and

    descending into the abyss again from which you worked your way up over an infinitely long time. Dont let the finaltest of will become the cliff which destroys you. Instead, diligently pursue your goal and you will be happy and free

    17

  • 7/28/2019 L34 - First Creation (4)

    18/45

    in a very short time. The significance of your life on earth as a human being is usually unknown to you. you dontspend any thought on what happened to you before and what will happen afterwards. nor are you aware of the fact

    that you have reached the final stage of your development where your free will must become active in order to reachthe final goal: unification with God, which will result in beatitude and freedom . And, because you lack knowledge,

    there is a great risk that you wont make full use of your earthly life as a human being and that the last opportunity ofattaining freedom for good will remain unused. In that case, the previous infinitely long path your soul had to take

    through the works of creation in a bound state will have been in vain. Then the laboriously attained degree of

    maturity, which the embodiment as a human being resulted in, will be at risk, for you do not remain on the same levelbut descend again instead, and might even have to take the process through the creations once more, since so manyblessings are at your disposal during earthly life that you will transgress against God again if you again reject the help

    He offers you. And this signifies that you will fall all over again, which God in His greater than great love would liketo prevent. For this reason He conveys His Word to you, the knowledge about His eternal plan of Salvation, about your

    beginning and your goal, about your task on earth. It is not His will that you should fall back into the abyss again, but

    He will not curtail your free will. He will certainly help you but He will not force you. And therefore it is indeed

    possible, but not certain, that you will reach your goal, because your resolve is the decisive factor; and in order tostrengthen your will, in order to turn it in the right direction, you are approached by God Himself in His Word. He

    instructs you, He informs you of the significance of your life on earth and He tries to strengthen the sense ofresponsibility you have towards your soul. He conveys the truth to you humans and every person can accept it if he is

    of good will. if he seriously thinks about the reason for his existence, if he feels affiliated to a supremely perfectbeing and would like to establish the connection with this being. The Word conveyed to earth by God Himself will

    make him happy, for he will recognise the truth, he will feel that God Himself is speaking to him and he will do whatGod demands of him, he will fulfil the will of God, and God will reveal Himself to him through His Word. Amen

    What is the purpose of life on earth?....

    You have to know the purpose of your earthly life if your progress as a human being is to be successful and you want to

    reach the goal, if you once again want to become what you had been in the beginning.... You came forth from Me as

    18

  • 7/28/2019 L34 - First Creation (4)

    19/45

    supremely perfect beings, you were created in My image, endowed with all divine attributes, full of light and strength,and you were in constant contact with Me as your God and Creator, so that you were continuously able to receive light

    and strength from Me and thus were also indescribably happy. But your perfect nature also included free will or youcould not have been called divine living creations. Consequently this free will had to open up two possibilities for you:

    to remain as perfect as I had created you, or to relinquish your perfection and change your nature into the opposite.Thus you were meant to prove your divinity by keeping the direction of your will in line with Mine, so that it totally

    merged with My will although it was completely free. In that case, however, you also had to be capable of behaving

    to the contrary. You also had to be able to fall away from Me as a sign of free will, if this was opposed to Me and Mywill.

    I required My created living beings to make this decision of will in order to be able to grant them even greaterdelights. I required this decision of will of My first created being, the spirit of light, whom My greater than great love

    externalised and who, as My image, was intended to create and work with and beside Me in the spiritual kingdom. He

    had come forth from Me in supreme perfection, he was My image.... Yet one thing set him apart from Me: he received

    his strength from Me, whereas I was the source of strength Myself . He certainly recognised this, for he possessedabsolute realisation. And so he was confronted by the test of will which required him to acknowledge Me as the

    source of strength from Which he constantly received his power. However, his will and My strength had broughtcountless beings into existence, all of whom were of highest perfection, endowed with all gifts and free will which

    demonstrated their divine nature. And the awareness of having been the creator of all these beings made this first-created spirit, the bearer of light, arrogant, and in his arrogance he rebelled against Me.

    Hence he did not pass the test of will but he voluntarily caused a separation from Me which, admittedly, was impossible

    to happen, because all created spirits would have perished in view of the fact that they are unable to exist without Meand My flow of strength. but the bearer of light. Lucifer. deliberately turned away from Me, and therefore fell

    into the abyss, drawing with him a large number of beings which likewise were supposed to make a decision anddeserted Me. This occurrence, which took place in the spiritual kingdom, forms the basis of the creation of the

    world, of the countless different kinds of creations which I brought into being as the path of return for the spirits, inorder to guide all fallen spirits back to their origin again, in order to guide them back to Me, because they can only be

    happy again when they are united with Me, whereas the distance from Me signifies a state of utter wretchedness. I Amnow trying to make this information accessible to you humans, for you are these fallen spirits which are on the path of

    return to Me and are approaching the goal. You had changed your once perfect nature into the opposite and becameimperfect.

    Even as human beings you are still imperfect creatures, but you are able to perfect yourselves during your earthly life ifonly you fulfil My will, if you fit in with My law of divine order, if you live a life of love and completely change your

    nature into love again, as it was in the beginning. Love reunites you with Me, but you have to accept it from Me

    voluntarily again. You must not resist it when My love wants to illuminate you once more; you have to do your utmostin order to fulfil your task in earthly life, which solely consists of directing your will towards Me, of surrendering to Me

    and striving towards Me with love. Then profound knowledge will be revealed to you, the darkness within you willrecede, you will achieve bright realisation, understand all correlations and leave the state of wretchedness, you will

    enter into union with Me and in this unity find the former bliss again which you once voluntarily relinquished but whichbelongs to every being that once originated from Me as a radiant image of Myself. and which it irrevocably will

    become again one day, because this has been and will remain the goal of My creation: to educate children for Myselfwho can create and work with Me in supreme happiness. Amen

    What was the human being and what is his earthly task?....

    20/45

    As a human being you certainly enter the stage of the self-aware being again, you recognise yourselves as somethingspiritually tangible, yet you are not conscious of the supreme perfection you once possessed. and that your existence

    as a human being at the start of your embodiment is but a pale reflection of your former Self. You are indeed thesame being again which recognises itself as a self-aware being with intelligence and free will, but you are missing a

    specific degree of maturity which characterises you as a divine being; you became imperfect as a result of your formerapostasy from God and first have to attain your original perfection again. Nevertheless, you are self-aware beings who

    are capable of thinking and in possession of free will, and who now shall use their intellect to achieve their final full

    maturity on this earth. And in order to tackle this maturing completely consciously you have to know what kind ofrelationship you had with the One Who created you. you have to know that you once had an intimately close bondwith your God and Creator and that you had distanced yourselves from Him voluntarily. but that, in order to become

    perfect again, in order to adopt your original nature again, you must join Him once more, or you will remain withoutstrength and light, because He alone is the eternal source of strength and light, from Whom all created beings will have

    to accept strength and light in order to become again what they had been in the beginning. supremely perfect beings,

    images of God.... true children of the Father, Who had given them life.

    This maturing into perfect beings is the human beings task on earth, who therefore also has the ability to accept

    knowledge and assimilate it, to mentally come to terms with this knowledge and to always use it in regards to hisperfection. For during his existence as a human being he is given the possibility to intellectually (intelligibly) form an

    opinion about the knowledge conveyed to him on the part of God, which can be externally imparted to him throughmessengers as well as internally through the voice of conscience, for he can and ought to use the gift of his intellect, and

    with good will he then can also penetrate more profound knowledge. if he always yields to the inner influence of hisconscience and actively starts to carry out deeds of love. Then he will start on the path of return to God, then he will

    begin to look for contact again with the One, Who is his Father of eternity.... Then he will also slowly mature fully andbe able to reach the pinnacle he had once been on and which has to be regained if the being wants to come into

    possession of light and strength and freedom which, in the very beginning, had made it indescribably happy.

    Consider, you humans, what task you ought to fulfil in earthly life, that you shall arise from a state of weakness anddarkness and work your way up to bright light and utmost strength. that you are certainly able to do so if you are of

    good will and comply with the divine will to live a life of love. You are certainly able to fulfil Gods requirement tobecome perfect, for He grants you strength and grace in abundance, He is always ready to support you with His help,

    and He also places His will into your heart, so that you only need to be observant and accept your feeling which willprompt you into doing good deeds, speaking kindly and thinking correctly if only you are willing to fulfil your earthly

    task. For in the state of self-awareness as a human being you will also always be informed of Gods Word, in

    whatever form it may be.... You will receive the knowledge about a God and Creator, and then you will also be able toreflect on it yourselves and mentally receive explanations from the spiritual realm.

    The possibility to perfect yourselves on earth is given to every one of you humans.... For you are no longer bound in theform, you are passing through your final embodiment on this earth and possess all the abilities which will guarantee

    your progress. but you also have free will, which alone determines how you will use your abilities. And you have toturn this will in the right direction yourselves, therefore you will be repeatedly informed about the importance of your

    earthly life. Your intellect can form an opinion of it and determine the will. But the free decision shall always be yourown, and that is your responsibility, for your future fate in eternity will match accordingly. For although you will not

    go astray forever, the state of your souls weakness and darkness can nevertheless last for infinite times and result inrenewed agonies instead of happiness. Yet you yourselves have to make the final decision during your earthly life in

    complete freedom of will, and good for him, who pushes towards God and unites with Him again on earth. Amen

    Your path of earthly life as a human being is the last short phase of your process of development from the deepest abyss

    into higher spheres. But whether it will lead to completion is determined by you in your human state where free willhas been returned to you, which you must use correctly in order to attain final perfection. Hence you bear great

    responsibility since you decide your fate for an infinitely long time of constraint again or for life in eternity. With acorrectly inclined will you can become free of every external form when you leave your earthly body; but you can also

    enter the hardest external form once more if you abuse your freedom of will, if you dont make full use of your life on

    earth, if you dont accomplish the transformation of your nature which must become love again, as it was in thebeginning.

    This transformation of your nature into love is the only purpose for your life on earth as a human being and it ispossible for you to achieve this work of transformation because I will truly help you in every way. For I long for My

    living creations to return to Me as children and will truly do everything within My power to enable them to reach their

    goal. but I will not enslave their will. They must return to Me of their own free will, just as they once left Me and

    thereby plunged into the abyss. I take all weaknesses and faults into account, I help where you humans are too weak onyour own; I reveal Myself to you so that you will learn to recognise and love Me; I shower you with an unlimited

    measure of grace which you need only make use of in order to enable you to become victorious in earthly life. Foryou must wage battle against My adversary who refuses to let go of you but who likewise cannot determine your free

    will if it turns away from him. You must fight against all instincts and cravings which still cling to your soul. youmust firmly want to move forward and to successfully complete your path of earthly life. You must long for Me and,

    truly, I will come to meet you and draw you close to Me and never let you go again. For I love you and yearn for yourreturn to Me.

    You need never fear that you will lack the strength for your perfection, because One acquired it for you through His

    death on the cross. Jesus Christ, Who redeemed you from sin and death. And this One wants to bestow theblessings of His act of Salvation upon you and is waiting for you merely to request them, to also want Him to have

    redeemed your guilt of sin, and for you to appeal to Him to strengthen your will in order to accomplish the

    transformation work into love on earth. As soon as you turn to Him you also acknowledge Me again and your

    return to Me will be assured, your return into your Fathers house which you once left voluntarily.

    You can truly reach the final goal during your short life on earth if only you acknowledge Jesus Christ as Redeemer ofthe world, Who sheltered Me Myself in all abundance. Through this acknowledgement and the plea for forgiveness of

    your guilt, your original sin of apostasy from Me will be redeemed. because the human being Jesus died on the cross

    in order to atone for the great guilt with His blood for the sake of justice.

    You would never have been able to remove this guilt and make amends for it yourselves, this is why I Myself died in

    the human being Jesus on the cross, because only love was able to absolve such guilt, which Jesus, the man, musteredfor His suffering brothers and which so permeated Him that He took all suffering and pain upon Himself. But I

    Myself was this Love. And therefore the path to Me was cleared for you humans again, so that you can return intoyour Fathers house; I can accept you again as My children because your guilt has been redeemed by Jesus if you

    acknowledge Him and thus Me in Him, for He and I are one. Anyone who calls upon Him, calls upon Me, andanyone who may behold Him one day will behold Me face to face. Amen

    The human beings task on earth. Childship to God.

    You humans are given a task on earth but you do not consider this and do not feel accountable as to whether you makecorrect use of your life on earth, that is, whether you live according to Gods will. But you only have a short time and

    once you have finished your life on earth, you will have no opportunity anymore to accomplish your set task. With

    immense effort you can certainly still ascend in the kingdom of the beyond, yet you will never be able to attain whatyou could easily have attained on earth. the childship to God, which makes you the most blissfully happy being in the

    spiritual kingdom. You can receive an excessive abundance of light on earth and, after physical death, enter the spiritualkingdom as beings of light; for God offers you such an extent of grace that you can lose all weakness and work full ofstrength, providing it is your will. Attaining the degree of light is not impossible for anyone, and the fact that it need not

    be difficult is Jesus Christs gift of grace, Who acquired it for the human race on the cross. Thus anyone can requeststrength from Him, and every person calling upon Jesus Christ will irrevocably reach the goal. But which one of you

    humans lends his ear to the messengers of God when you are informed of this; which one of you humans strivesconsciously towards attaining childship to God on this earth? It only requires you to shape yourselves into love, for

    which the strength will be conveyed to you humans if you seriously want it and appeal to Jesus Christ for His support.Very little is expected of you humans but an incredible amount is offered to you and, yet, only a few strive for this

    degree which results in a life of supreme beatitude. You should become children of God, desire the Father with all yourlove, you should adapt yourselves to His fundamental nature, that is, become love as well. However, your nature is still

    governed by too much selfish love, and this only considers earthly life but not life after death. You dont ask yourselveswhy you live on earth, you dont try to ascertain the reason, instead, you look at life as an end in itself when, in fact, it is

    merely the means to an end. For this reason you let your time on earth pass by unused, you use your vitality wrongly,i.e. you only use it to attain earthly possessions which are transient. But you do not think of your life after death, of the

    souls intransience and one day will have to pay a bitter price when you realise that you have irretrievably lostsomething that you could easily have won. However, God respects your will, He neither determines nor forces you,

    but He always warns and admonishes you. Through His servants on earth He constantly informs you of the purpose foryour existence, He sends messengers to cross your path who shall proclaim His will, He confronts you Himself in the

    form of suffering and adversities and shows you the fleeting nature of earthly things. He leaves no stone unturned in

    order to lead you into realisation, yet He allows you to keep your freedom of choice. And precisely because of this

    you will have to justify yourselves to Him, for you would be able to reach your goal were you to use your willcorrectly. Amen

    Knowledge about goal and purpose. Childship to God.

    You are destined to become children of God and can indeed reach that goal. However, are you humans at all aware of

    your goal, your purpose on this earth? And is it not your own fault that you dont know anything about it? Are you not

    living a way of life which cannot result in any kind of realisation for you? Are you not spiritually blind? And thus youseriously ought to ask yourselves why you are ignorant and I will give you the answer: You lack the love which guides

    you into realisation. For love is the key to wisdom, love is the light which illuminates your spirit. Love guides youinto truth and, as soon as you live in love, the goal and your purpose will come clear to you. The knowledge of it cancertainly also be conveyed to you if you live an earthly life without love. It will also be conveyed to you in order to

    awaken your sense of responsibility, yet you will never believe what you are told even if it is the truth, because withoutlove you lack the power of realisation. This is why My Word, if it is preached to you, will remain unsuccessful and

    not be taken seriously by you until you become lovingly active of your own accord. Consequently, love must bepreached first and anyone taking this sermon to heart will grow in realisation and also be able to believe what he is

    taught. You are all destined to attain childship to God, to attain an exceedingly blissful state in an abundance of lightand strength. You are destined for this, but you can never be forcibly placed in this state by Me, because it requires

    your free will to become a true child of God, My image, which can create and shape like Me in blissful happiness. Forthis reason it is so extraordinarily difficult to persuade you humans without forcing your will to aspire towards this

    highest goal. This can only be achieved if you live in love , because then you will also know about your origin, yourimperfect state and your ultimate goal, for then you will recognise what you had been, what you are now and what you

    shall become again. You can create an inconceivably blissful state for yourselves if you live a life of love on earth.And therefore I send My disciples into the world again in order to preach love to people, for they have only a short time

    left in order to reach their goal on earth. My love constantly endeavours to lead people into realisation, but they mustvoluntarily, of their own accord, transform themselves into love. And blessed is he who ignites his indwelling spark of

    love, blessed is he who thereby comes closer to Me and can avail himself of My strength of love. For he will reachhis goal, he will make contact with Me and not rest until his spirit has united itself with the Father-Spirit of eternity,

    until his love has merged with the eternal love, until he has become and then remains My child for all eternity. Amen

    Purpose of earthly existence as a human being....

    Consider your human existence purely as a brief chapter of an infinitely long period of development which, however, is

    of immense importance, because during this short time you have to make your decision of will which determines yourfate in eternity. For you can bring this process of development to a conclusion; but you can also prolong it again for

    an infinitely long time which signifies beatitude or agony for your soul.... the human beings real Self. thus youyourselves make this decision as a human being. You humans do not spend much thought on it, but the time of yourearthly life passes by quickly and then its result will take effect. Time and again you are informed of it and yet you

    pay little attention to what you are told or you would live consciously and make an effort to strive for the right goal. Butthen you must also believe in a God and Creator to Whom you owe your existence, and by making contact with Him

    you will also receive the strength to live your l
