Long-lasting Ignorance Excludes Itself From Creation

THE WAY OF THE GRAIL – SUPPLEMENTARY TEXTS – October 19, 2026

Development is the driving force of all life in Subsequent Creation

It contains the demand for progress forward

For the human spirit this means the striving from ignorance to full consciousness, the ascent from immaturity to complete knowledge, the rising from lack of understanding to the wise use of all gifts

In human intuitive perception it is the direction from the inability to recognise harmony to complete accord with its beneficence

Contained in this is the ennobling of human perception to a high degree of fellow-feeling with all other life

There is nowhere in Creation a place where unconsciousness could maintain itself permanently

Nevertheless we do find levels which in their lukewarmness have so far maintained the state of a certain degree of semi-consciousness, that is, of a very weak consciousness

There are even parts where, through their state, renewed ignorance is returning

Hand in hand with ignorance go selfishness, pettiness in thinking, oppression of everything weaker and ruthlessness towards any form of suffering

We are speaking of those levels where, in the density of the materialities of Subsequent Creation, the development of the spirit has almost come to a standstill

The word almost rightly applies, because in reality development can never be stopped

It can, however, be slowed down, paralysed, or also directed in a wrong direction

He who knows the working of the Laws of Creation knows how to do such a thing

And because the fallen archangel, who had been sent to help in the development of everything spiritual in Subsequent Creation, knew the effects of the Laws well, it was enough for him to shift the course of development in another direction than it was originally meant to take, and instead of the rising of everything upwards there came about, under the pressure of the Law of Movement, the sinking of the human spiritual species downwards into rigidity

This was possible because it was precisely Lucifer who came from the divine-animistic part

The knowledge of the effects of the Laws in the work of Creation is known there with crystal clarity

He thus had this knowledge anchored within himself when he set out on the way to help the human spiritual sparks in Subsequent Creation

But at the moment when, in a stirring of his own wilful vanity, he separated himself from the blissful connection with the Will of the Creator, he began to move ever further into a greater distance from the divine sphere above Creation

The cooling of his divine-animistic core brought about as a consequence the separation from the Love of God

Thereby his original mission lost its original significance, and he on the contrary gradually decided to work against it

Finally he had to be cast out of the direct connection with the divine spheres by the Archangel Michael, in an intervention which the latter carried out together with other angels

In the wrath which flared up in him, Lucifer turned his powers and abilities against the human spirit, for which he had originally been sent by the Wisdom of God as the sublime helper destined for this purpose

Through his strong influence he deflected the direction which human souls were taking, by placing the principle of temptation in their path

Instead of loving support, Lucifer laid obstacles in the path of spiritual development in the form of snares and traps set for the weaknesses of souls

From the original joyful striving upwards, everything began to fall behind on its path of development, because under the influence of the principle of temptation the human spiritual germs began to waver and err more, which according to the Laws of Creation necessarily had to bring into their path the necessity of atonement

Thereby movement was indeed still maintained according to the Laws of Creation, but instead of the expansion of human spirits and the strengthening of their healthy self-consciousness, there came a slowing down in development and thereby a becoming rigid in the materialities

The souls that had grown lukewarm adapted themselves to the new setting, and many began to seek in their activity only subordinate goals lying within the boundaries of materiality

Thereby began the weakening of volition in seeking the Will of God, which finally had to come down to the level of a low awareness of anything that has its origin higher up in the Light

Instead of a joyful strengthening of souls in recognising the work of Creation, a rigidity set in that gradually led everything to a standstill

Such a thing, however, cannot maintain itself for long under the pressure of the Laws of Creation in the Work of God

The consequence of all this is always a final surging up of the accumulated power, which enforces the demand for renewed movement

The accumulation of power is caused by that slackening and thereby by the delaying of the original development, which carries within itself the predestination of the All-Wisdom of God

Here on Earth too we can observe much that is similar

The original development of the human spirit should here already have been many steps higher

This can be called a true delay

And this delay will finally necessarily bring about the breaking through and the asserting of the said increase of power, which will bring in its effect awakening and ascent where awakening can still come about, and for everything else that will want to remain in the state of weak ignorance the increased power will bring effects similar to a flood wave

Everything lukewarm and sleeping will be washed away into a distance where there is greater space for maturing

The conditions of such places, however, no longer have so much space for experiencing beauty and joy, but they are conditions allowing only bare survival

In these places souls are given only what is most necessary to keep them conscious

These are places far removed from all happiness and fulfilment, as is a common phenomenon in the more living levels more permeated by the Light

In them, however, the lukewarm souls are not able to develop, because they are not capable of grasping the need for their ennobling so as to be able to endure in such levels for long

After a certain time such inwardly dulled souls begin to cause harm to all other, more luminous life

Therefore after some time they are pushed further away by the pressure of the Law of Movement, into a greater distance from the Light

Here they are granted by the Love of God further time and space in conditions corresponding to their state

These are far harsher levels than those to which even present-day Earth belongs by its state

The surroundings formed by the Alphar are adapted to the dullness of the souls

And in these parts of Subsequent Creation time drags on in proportion to the rigid materiality, in which everything living longs for a greater shining of light, for the twilight filling the space begins to appear to most souls as suffering

And so the souls stuck in such dense rigidity can gradually rise again and, step by step, draw nearer to the places in which there is more light and life

But it can happen that some souls are not raised nearer to the Light even by such experiencing, and they remain further in immobility

Here too, however, the pressure of the Law of Movement is at work

If, therefore, the poor experiencing in the distance from a more joyful life does not suffice for such a soul to pull itself together, then it will finally be the one that proves to be truly immobile, and it will thereby be excluded from Creation

Exclusion is the same as the ending of the possibility of further development

In reality, however, it means only the fulfilment of the wish of the spiritual spark in the soul, that is, the wish to remain in lasting unconsciousness

From the outer point of view this appears as a natural happening

It is also a happening in which the Justice of God is fulfilled with all consistency, just as is the Love of God

The patience of God is much greater than human comprehension

Nevertheless the Laws of Creation must finally bring about, in the self-purifying happening of the materialities, the exclusion of those souls which do not want to make progress towards higher consciousness and maturity

Exclusion thus means, in connection with the spiritual species, the same as the complete loss of the claim to further possibilities of existence

We are speaking here of the duration of happenings in the order of billions of earthly years

Nevertheless limits are necessary here, which are set for everything that has its mission and does not make use of this mission

And in Creation everything has its purpose and its mission

This applies both to the animistic and to the spiritual

The mission of the spiritual species in Creation is growth to self-consciousness and mature accord with the complete Harmony of the work of Creation

Only thereby is that fulfilled for which the human spiritual sparks at their beginning awoke to the longing to become inhabitants of the work of Creation

The knowledge of these connections is now the requisite foundation of consciousness for all human thinking here on Earth too

Together with the inflow of power of the Ray of Parzival comes the demand for awakening within and thereby for the forming of the ground for the great spiritual enlightenment

It is now everywhere around men

The stopping of ears and covering of eyes before all this, practised until now, or the attempt to drown it out through increased work of the intellect, will no longer hold back the pressure rolling towards the soul of man

We are already only a small stretch of the way before the complete victory of spiritual enlightenment

Those who are already more open now should therefore not fall into despair from observing the present state of mankind

This state of the present already shows itself, in the development that cannot be held back, as the past

The present cannot be regarded as something that determines further development, which belongs to the predominance of the forces vibrating fully in the fulfilment of the Will of God

But because most men, despite their striving for spiritual knowledge, have no deeply experienced trust in the fulfilment of the Will of God on Earth, that wavering and hesitation in the expectation of the coming happening becomes a matter of course

It has even gone so far that men, although they inwardly long for the Light, form their thoughts about the coming time as the expectation of a bad outcome of the happening

This, however, is in complete contrast to trust in the victory of the Light, in which is contained as an inseparable part the advance of all knowledge, which can be called the awakening of millions of souls sleeping today

And this will come, however little it may be noticeable in the present

If, however, man looks only a little further ahead towards the intensifying radiation which comes from Parzival as the promised fulfiller of the Will of God the Father, then it is immediately possible to see the way out, which will come with certainty

Men often speak of miracles with a mysterious trembling in their voice, in which one can recognise how the longing to experience something of the kind stirs them, and at the same time there is in them the longing that they themselves might experience in it a confirmation of their own mistrust, which still dwells in them

It is still the same as in the time millennia and centuries ago, when men longed for visible happenings of a miraculous kind and repeatedly called for them to come to the help of themselves or of their neighbours

Men did call for miraculous help, but at the same time there still stuck deep within them the poisonous thorn sprung from Lucifer's sowing, which whispered repeated words to them not to believe that anything of it would be fulfilled

And precisely today this is so with many men who are again on Earth and who are again given by the Love of God the opportunity to prove how far they have progressed in their trust in the happening of the Light

Hardly anyone is as certain in this as he could be, if he has received the knowledge of God's promises and their fulfilment

Now, however, is the time when this is to be proved by the maturity of the spirit, which is no longer ignorant nor dulled, but on which there only still clings the remnant of the baneful influence of Lucifer's shaking of trust in the Might of God, which is fulfilled through the Laws of Creation and the weaving of the threads by the hands of the animistic servants – the Alphar

Progress forward was given in advance long ago

Only the maturity of earthly conditions was awaited, which was given by the bringing of the knowledge of the Truth in the work THE GRAIL MESSAGE

This Truth was anchored in the threads in such a way as was needed for a happening to set in that brings the shift which will finally bring the great spiritual enlightenment

What is prepared within men in the liveliness of their souls will be awakened

But what will still go on sleeping will gradually be pushed further away into places in which only then will the patience of the Grace of God be able to be applied in the experiencing there, which the hands of the weavers have prepared with complete justice

It is not revenge nor a casting down into painful depths in which those whom the Bible designates as the damned are to suffer, but it is only the consequence of the effects of the Laws of Creation for those who will not be able to awaken in the conditions of life here on Earth

In the outcome it is only an adaptation of the ethereal and gross material parts of Subsequent Creation so that souls can develop still further, more slowly, in proportion to their maturity, which has remained far behind the necessary and expected development

They are therefore not conditions which would bear manifestations of God's punishment, but in reality it is an adaptation of slower worlds in patient expectation of the maturing of those souls which did not attain to this part of the universe, in which it is no longer possible to delay any longer in the development which now needs to be moved forward

We can therefore always only speak of a happening that vibrates with the utmost justice in the effects of the Laws, which always contain only beneficial strengthening for development

Development is contained in them as an invisible pressure, which is finally formed into visible and tangible progress also on all planes of the materialities

Movement drives everything forward and in this moment of historical shift brings also to this Earth a great spiritual liberation for those who until now had to bear the burden of the backwardness in which the earthly world of men has long found itself

It comes in a tension which will finally lead many men to awakening and thereby to the capacity to free themselves from the rigidity which has dwelt here until now

It will be a very surprising awakening, for it will bring the recognition of how easily men submitted to the influence of Lucifer, which they could always have withstood with their spiritual power

Men have never remained without help from the Light

They always had around them all the helpers who patiently showed them the way upwards to development and maturity

The outer world of men, however, let itself be influenced and submitted to vibrations which finally had to deflect it completely and slow it down in relation to the development expected from the Light

Men were never victims of Lucifer's influence, as many think to this day, but they were always granted a great abundance of help, which, however, they did not see, because they imagined it differently

If, however, help was not given to them in the way men wanted it, then in their cooling many turned away from the Light and preferred to turn to secondary things, for in these they were always given support by Lucifer

Thereby men deprived themselves of the most precious thing that could benefit them – they deprived themselves of the exertion of the spirit, which is always beneficial, because it leads to alertness and clarity of intuitive perceiving

Thereby too trust in God's help and miracles is permanently revived within

Only in such an attunement of spiritual liveliness and alertness can miracles come to man as help on his path leading forward in the right direction

The standstill and the cooling brought stagnation in everything that is found on Earth

It had to bring the rule of heartlessness and calculation, in which it is always hard to live for people who are inwardly more open, for it means for them expending many forces in defence against heartlessness, instead of being able to occupy themselves with joyful progress forward in every moment of the day

In first place today, therefore, instead of building and creating, there is the necessity of the highest watchfulness in protecting all the luminous values of life still held on Earth

Now, however, a change is coming which will make new building possible

It is therefore to be looked forward to with joy, and everything is also to be done so that the ground in man is prepared as well as possible for this change

Therefore a complete freeing from the past setting, which bears the influence of Lucifer's principle of temptation, is to come about

This setting is no longer part of what is approaching

The coming world will take shape on the principle of the Wisdom of God and of Love

In this Love is contained the demand for movement, which exerts pressure on everything spiritual in Creation

And therefore we can expect a still further immense increase of movement in everything concerning the world of men

The movement will be so great that finally everything that wants of its own will to persist in rigid semi-consciousness will be blown away by centrifugal force

Those who long for ascent will then recognise in the coming spiritual enlightenment how far they had remained behind

With the greatest joy they themselves will then devote their power to everything that they will suddenly see as a state of neglect in the knowledge of the spirit

It will be a time of great upsurge for mankind

Hope can therefore now flow into everyone, for the said time of manifold ascent of life on Earth is drawing nearer with every day
