WHY DO HUMAN BEINGS so timidly evade this word, which should be more intimate to them than anything else? Is it veneration? No! You are confused because neither school nor church ever gave you any clear explanation that could satisfy your inner longing for the Truth. The actual Trinity still...
ONCE BEFORE I have pointed out that the written accounts of Creation should not be taken in an earthly sense. The Bible narrative also does not refer to this earth. The creation of the earth was simply the natural consequence of the further development of the first Creation. It is...
THE WORLD! When man uses this word he often utters it thoughtlessly, without forming a picture of what this world he speaks of is really like. Many, however, who try to picture something definite visualize countless celestial bodies of the most varied nature and size arranged in solar systems, pursuing...
EVEN AS THE DARKNESS moved over Golgotha when Jesus, the Living Light, departed from this earth, so is it now moving over mankind, returning to them the great suffering they inflicted upon the Love of God in the cruel way of the cunning intellect, which is utterly incapable of any...
MAN’S CONCEPTION of life has so far been erroneous! All that he has called life is nothing but impelled motion, which may only be considered as the natural effect of life proper. Therefore in the whole of Creation there are only the after-effects of this more or less strong motion,...
It is doubly sad, yes even ten-fold so, for those who spend this time of mercy which every earth-life represents in frivolous deception, as if it were a drunken revel. Many there are who have every reason for alarm and apprehension! The case is quite different with those who have...
LOOK ABOUT YOU, men, and you will see how you have to live here on earth! It is not difficult to recognize the Primordial Laws in Creation if you only strive to observe everything around you in the right way. Motion is a basic law in the entire Creation, thus...
SPIRIT-GERMS! I have often spoken about them already, explaining their development and course. I have also said that earthmen are developed from spirit-germs. Therefore it is your development, you human beings, that I am going to describe here! Today I want to bring still closer to you the starting point...
THE WORD “SPIRIT” is often used without the speaker being aware of what spirit really is. Some simply call spirit the inner life of man, while others regard soul and spirit as being the same. It is often used to describe a “spirited” person, but this goes no further than...
MANY PEOPLE who have absorbed my Message very well are nevertheless not yet quite clear about the expression “soul”! But it is necessary to be clear about this too! It is just about the soul that mankind have always talked much too much, thus forming an everyday picture which in...
MAN ASKS QUESTION UPON QUESTION! As soon as I offer him a new knowledge he immediately comes with new questions, even before he has understood and absorbed everything which I proffered to him. This is his great mistake! He wants to hasten forward! If I were to adjust myself to...
IN THE LAST two lectures I explained the happenings in the planes of medium gross matter (formerly called the astral plane by those who knew about it), which are directly connected with men’s existence upon earth. There are many other happenings besides those mentioned therein which also belong to the...
PERPLEXED AND LONELY, a soul stands in the chamber of death! Perplexed because the human being lying on the deathbed refused while on earth to believe in the continuity of life after the death of the physical body! He had therefore never seriously considered the matter and ridiculed all who...
THIS WORD IS often used, but who really understands what it means? “Earthbound” sounds as if it were some terrible punishment. Most people have a rather uncanny feeling about those who are still earthbound and fear them. Still, the significance of the word is not so bad after all! Certainly...
LET ME TAKE YOU a step into the Ethereal Realm, soul of man! We will hurry through the Land of Shadows without stopping, for I have already spoken about this. It is that plane where those must linger who are still too stupid to use their ethereal bodies properly, particularly...
RADIANT LIGHT! Dazzling purity! A blissful feeling of lightness! All this speaks for itself so clearly that it is hardly necessary to go into details. The less the ethereal body, i.e., the cloak of the human spirit in the beyond, is burdened with some base propensity or with a desire...
WHEN ONE LOOKS at pictures supposed to represent life in the so-called hell, one shrugs one’s shoulders and dismisses them with a half-ironical, half-contemptuous smile, thinking that only morbid imagination or fanatical blind faith can conjure up such scenes. Very rarely will anyone seek even for the slightest grain of...
THE DAY OF JUDGMENT! Every prophecy that is connected with this proclaims the resurrection of all the dead for the Final Judgment! But this mankind have again introduced an error into the concept of the expression; for it is not meant to denote: Resurrection of all the dead, but resurrection...
LIKE A LEGEND it floats in the minds of many people who know of the prophecy, but it is vague, without form, because no one knows how to come to the right conception of it! The Millennium! Wiseacres have tried again and again to put forward an explanation of how...
MAN WEARS THE physical garment which he needs for the maturing of his spirit in the World of Gross Matter with an irresponsible indifference and lack of understanding. As long as he has no pains he neglects the gift he has received and does not even dream of giving to...
