The greatest part of mankind on earth supposes that what is most important for them and for all their fellow men takes place always and only on the plane of that generally perceived space and time which forms the gross matter of the earthly world
For whole millennia it has been held among men that all world events come together here alone, in order to form here the space of life for earthly mankind with all its petty notions and wishes
There is no greater error than this thought, which is bound up solely and only with man's excessive concentration upon his small world in gross matter
Without being perceived as such, there is reflected in it only the self-exaltation of the intellect, which, like a powerful whirlpool, has at last drawn the power of the human spirit into materiality so constrictingly that even the originally stronger intuitive perceiving in man lost its ability to stand above this world, and thereby to lead it and to guide it along the right paths in its development
The spirit literally surrendered itself, with all its original sublimity, to matter
As a consequence there then arose a thousandfold instances of grave blunders in the directing of the development of human society on earth
It may be said that ever since men lost the connection with the luminous planes lying above gross material space and time they have hitherto always erred, and today it is not in the least different
The heavily material and utilitarian perception of life has become a snare for all who incarnated here, and who still incarnate here today for the sake of their development
And yet there is no reason to remain any longer in this baneful direction with the excuse that man is but a defenceless puppet against it
In every human being there is permanently anchored that significant connecting bridge to a space and a time which are of a different kind than the universe here
This bridge is part of the reason why he can be in connection with an earthly body at all
It is the spiritual radiation, which remains permanently preserved, only it is not used, and has thereby greatly withered
The radiation from the spiritual spark is the condition for the earthly body of man to be meaningfully quickened
This radiation is therefore permanently there to help, for it is the very essence of the quickening of the body by the humanly spiritual species
No human being is cut off from it, so long as he is able to experience intuitive perception and conscience
And that is truly every human being, for everyone is capable of even the smallest flash of intuitive perceiving, if only he wills it
That is why in many people there also unfold inward processes of perceiving something great and virginally pure as the ideal of all human existence
What is truly great and precious within man cannot, however, easily be forced into the narrow bounds of the earthly brain
For many an inward impression there must in the end remain only the vibration of an uplifting sensing, which finds a corresponding support in today's earthly world only with difficulty
The great vibrations of the noblest impulses remain high above all that is earthly, for in their long-standing material attunement men keep no path open for them by which they could draw permanently nearer to the earth
The thicket of the concepts and words in use has weakened the keeping of this path to such a degree that forms for the expression of all that is purely inward and uplifting to the spirit are no longer so often quickly at hand
Yet it could always have been otherwise, had the path to the Light been kept open by human effort in the search for noble forms of thinking
Speech and writing too could long ago have been raised by the human spirit to what may be called the vibrating echoes of the luminous worlds
At the beginning, for that great working of the Light which was preparing for the human spirit its path of development in the materialities, anything of the kind appeared unimaginable
From the Light the inward longing of the humanly spiritual species for the Light was always presupposed, and therein it was expected that the possibility would never be marred for the spirit, closely bound to the earthly body, nevertheless to raise itself upward from time to time, in the hours appointed for it, to the nobility that dwells permanently in the planes of the finer and more luminous worlds
For the humanly spiritual species everything was done on the side of the preparations that was to lead to the gradual ripening of all the spiritual sparks which had immersed themselves in this part of the materialities for the sake of their development
Nevertheless it came about in the end through the spiritual lukewarmness of men and also through the diverting of their paths under the influence of Lucifer's principle of temptation, and therefore mankind suffers from so many ills of society for which no purely materialistic prescription for a healing cure can be devised
The way out lies in linking oneself with the other parts of the work of Creation, in which the Light and the fullness of peace reign as something lasting, bringing only strengthening and ascent to those who are permitted to dwell there
All that is most needful today therefore lies in linking oneself with the influx of the Light, which mediates rescue and the stilling of all abiding pains to every human being who sets out upon the path of an all-embracing volition for goodness and purity
Only a fervent volition for the attainment of a good and harmonious outcome of all happenings, and that even at the cost of making oneself less, unites man with the vibrations descending from planes that lie high above this section of the materialities
However much it appears here on earth as the lot of joining a minority striving among men for the fulfilment of the ideal of the Light and of the Truth, thus a minority still calling forth for the most part only the mockery and the contempt of the majority, yet, passing through the clouds that divide the spaces of the individual planes in the work of Creation, even the smallest striving for these values has behind it the support of the unimaginable superior power of all the great planes of the Light
Thus of those planes whose life-force a millionfold surpasses the vibration of the small portion of the materialities here, in which so far only the largely despairing history of mankind has unfolded
The disparity cannot be expressed in any way sufficient to capture a living picture of the difference between the mighty Light, filled at the same time with bliss and peace, and the convulsively struggling erring in which the mankind of this part of the universe finds itself
But even if the best words were to express here on earth this preponderance of Goodness and Light that is to be found upward in all the planes of the work of Creation, it would still not suffice to bring into the thinking of earthly men enough courage and will for the surging up of forces to achieve the victory of a better human world on earth
Nothing else therefore remains now but that out of the places lying above the space and time of this plane of gross matter the Light of the Ray of Parzival should descend, which through the strengthening of all things will bring here into these places also a happening of a liberating and healing kind
It will therefore come from places that are incomprehensible to the human manner of thinking, and towards which there reigns in a great part of mankind the mistrust that these planes are real, and that something such as the Light and the Love of God can now help mankind in the time of its continuing erring
The Love of God and its help lie in the strengthening of that connecting bridge of the spirit's radiation which as a link holds together two different magnitudes, the space and time of gross matter and the spheres of Light and Peace standing above this small space and time
It rests with the human spirit alone to lay hold of this help and to set flowing again that original living pulsation within himself
For the restoring of the flow it needs to unite within man as a renewed current of radiation moving in both directions
Earthman is to return again to a degree of higher inward mobility, so that the radiation of the Light may stream through him in both directions
He needs to be able to experience within himself his share in the everyday of his earthly life and at the same time to remain in connection with those places which alone can mediate to him power and knowledge out of the Light
Alas, without exception every single spirit bound to an earthly body has long been backward in this
No one today is yet sufficiently freed from the pressure of earthly things through the intellectuality of the brain, which constrictingly stifles the inward enthusiasm that lies in the possibility of rising above the space and time here
That is a fact which nothing can excuse, and what is far graver, the interrupted streaming of the radiation can also be replaced by nothing else
The radiation which is meant to flow as a sublime circulation of forces vibrating from the heights of Creation down into the materialities precisely through earthman, who is the counterbalancing anchorage for the spiritual happening in the materialities, is today interrupted
Were it not so, men would among other things be permitted to perceive quite clearly the further course of the happening that unfolded at the moment when the Ray of Parzival separated itself from the earthly shell, so that, freed from the burden of earthly things, it might follow in mightiest adoration of God the Father His Will, which now works in highest wisdom through the labour of the animistic servants
People more inwardly open would be permitted to perceive how in the great happening not the smallest particle of all the promises has changed
They would remain constantly in connection with the great radiation of the Ray of Parzival and would not have to grope in the least over the questions of what is to follow and how everything further will unfold
The circulation streaming within them would bring them continually pictures of all the happening that is fulfilling itself above the materialities
The day on which the separation of the Ray of Parzival from the earthly shell took place, which shell was temporarily accounted the anchorage for this inconceivably precious Divine Light on earth, would then have to be extolled and celebrated by open people as the day of the liberating release of the Divine radiation out of the narrow confines of matter, which in its density will forever remain immeasurably far from the Divinely unsubstantiate foundation of Parzival, and incomprehensible in its immobility
When the Ray of Parzival remained anchored in the earthly covering of the body, in order after its own fulfilment to work as the guiding power for the radiation itself of the Father's Will in Imanuel, every such day was filled with a certain sacrifice
And Mary too, in union with the Love of God of the Son of God Jesus, who recognised all this and through His wandering formed the connecting Ray as a help for the fulfilment of the great path of Parzival, joyfully submitted herself to the Will of the Father and followed Parzival into the materialities, for the fulfilment of the great happening
They were sacrifices of the Light made for mankind, so that to a sufficient number of human spirits on their path of development, and also of the spirits needed for the new age on earth, the rescuing rope out of the Word of Truth could be extended through the Grail Message
Every day that passed in connection with the density of matter was for the living Light contained in the Ray of Parzival an ever new manifestation of the immeasurable Loving-Kindness of God
And when the time came in which this Ray was permitted to separate itself again from the binding earthly anchorage, then in the fulfilment of God's guidance of all happenings there came about in their original destiny not even the smallest particle of any change
The Holy Judgment of God will be fulfilled through the animistic working of Valhalla, exactly as it was always destined and also prepared from the Light
Parzival now guides His strokes of the sword through the Ray of radiation from the heights of the Holy Grail downwards, so that these influxes of radiation, fulfilling the Will of God, may interpenetrate the weaving of the High animistic servants, through whose working all this will at last come to fulfilment
With the binding of Lucifer, and thereby the checking of his baneful influence upon the humanly spiritual species in Subsequent Creation, that most important thing was accomplished which was to take place in the planes of Subsequent Creation
This happening was from the beginning laid into the hands of Parzival, who was appointed to it by His Father
All else is only the necessary running-out of all the events, fulfilling itself step by step, which finally penetrate also into the earthly world of men itself
Everything will be fulfilled according to God's promises
It is only because men have severed themselves from those planes of Creation where everything flows in the transparency of the knowledge of the Truth that thousands of unanswered questions arise here on earth
In reality everything flows in transparency like translucent glowing glass, which heeds not earthly years and decades, but always follows solely and only the unfolding of all the fulfilments of the Will of God according to the promises
In this flowing incandescence of the happenings everything goes its own ways, for everything was foreseen by the Wisdom of God down to the smallest movement of all the happenings
The Ray of Parzival remains above gross matter for the completion of all that must be fulfilled and brought to a close here too in the ponderousness of the materialities
In this the Light does not follow earthly years, nor the earthly trivialities of human history, as men have hitherto imagined
Decisive is the moment of the ripeness of the whole for that advance of the happenings which is called forth by a movement in the direction from above downwards
The one true life lies in that which vibrates in the Light
All else in the dense covering of Subsequent Creation stumbles in its temporary development in the hope of rebirth and of ascent, or else it is condemned to its gradual passing away
Life is in the Light, all else is only quickened
Above the materialities there are threads which may be likened to glowing, luminous, streaming currents, and which, in their penetration of all happening, are subjected to the heightened pressure of the Ray of Parzival, and thereby also to the intensified effect of the Laws of Creation
The Light from the Ray of Parzival either raises the individual threads to liberation, or burns them up as unusable for the further happening in the work of Creation
As when the bright midday sun suddenly shines into a mist, so the reflection of all the happening of the Light is carried in inexorably penetrating rays into the density of the small and the great earthly deeds of men
Everything is irradiated by the Light so that to every particle of quickened life its further fate may be appointed
The smallest manifestation of goodness is just as precious as the greatest of great deeds
And in the same way everything that bears within it the germ of decay will be burned up by that same Light, whether it causes harm and devastation in the great life of society, or whether it be only the smallest vibration of an unlovely volition in the thoughts of a single human being
Above the materialities everything vibrates in the clear recognition of all the necessary endings of this or that wish, thought or deed
It is only gross matter that forms the dividing wall in which all clarity of view is lost
Outwardly it also seems to depart from the original transparency in such a way that it becomes past all surveying for earthly observers, and leads them in consequence to wavering and to mistrust in the Justice of God, with all the gracious happenings that lie in the anchoring of the radiation of the Rays of the Envoys out of the Divine
And yet in every human being there is permanently the ground for him to swing himself higher, above the space and time of gross matter, and, releasing himself from the burden of intellectuality, to grasp that splendour of the perfect Will of God which weaves therein unceasingly and moves the happening forward
Nevertheless men occupy themselves again and again with the trivialities of outward events, however much the most important thing is taking place above their heads and is closely bound up with the fate of every single one of them
The Light has laid down the paths for the further development
It is, however, a matter of the whole development of the individual human spirits
The earthly events of small daily cares are in this something quite secondary, and have a connection with the Light only on the plane of the inward impulses in men, which bring all this to life
The reverberations, formed by the hands of the weavers of fate out of these impulses, are only the subsequent imprint into matter, whereby the beginning is already laden with blessing or with destruction and goes its own ways to be lived out exactly according to the kind of first stirring within that set the threads in motion
What men observe and also so often feverishly experience are the consequences of long-past impulses of their own inner being
They could recognise this process and also in part follow it in the planes above matter, where the threads have their exact place of waiting for the subsequent judgment which lies in the living-out, but for that they would first need truly to strive for it inwardly
To become knowing is the fundamental kind of wish of all that is spiritual and is developing towards maturity
If this wish does not burn strongly and brightly within, then no helping radiations can be joined to it so that it might in the end become something fulfilled
Whether a spirit is knowing is decided by its own will, thus by the perseverance and the purity of such a wish
It needs to free itself from the lowlands in which billions of the lukewarm are drowning, and with full inward strength to climb upward above the gloom and haze of gross matter
Knowledge is bound up with the ability to rise above the space and time of the gross matter of the universe here
Only in such an attunement does that uplifting and strengthening radiation come to be worked upon in the spirit
This radiation is now also strengthened by the nearness of the Ray of Parzival
Everything is therefore made ready by the Light for those men who are open to receive the great knowledge of the Truth to reach out courageously for this radiation, whereby they will swing themselves higher towards the Light and at the same time make it possible for this higher to stream all the way down here to the earth through the radiation that connects them with the earthly body
Therein lies for man the possibility of liberation, of refreshment, and also the prospect of progress and of maturity
There is no need to fear that at this moment someone may still be weak in this and that he is behind others
In the spiritual everything can be attained in an awakening of the highest liveliness, just as though the spirit had never been behind at all
In the influx of the power of Life which inclines towards the earth at the time of December 6, men can draw near to the rest of the life in Creation, which joyfully celebrates its faithfulness to God and to the Lord
In the future this will come to this earth also for good, so as to lend it more sparkle and a living assent to the whole of the work of Creation
And to that which is coming, which today is called the future, the sharply radiating Ray of Parzival is now cutting the path
Resembling a sword flashing downward in a stroke, the Ray of Parzival cleaves for a certain time the dividing wall between the spheres and opens the way for a connection of the time and space here with that which is otherwise an entirely alien happening, for it is of a spiritual kind and unfolds high above the universe here
Let everyone use this rightly for the help of his spirit
It is literally like an opening of the heavens in the planes of Subsequent Creation
This happening is to be used to the very last portion of the great bestowal that lies within it
It is to be experienced by men in joy, in trust and in faithfulness towards God the Father and towards the King of Creation, Parzival
Let there be More Light in all places of the work of Creation
Such is now the call from the heights to everyone who is permitted to live in Creation
