Only the Fullness of Peace Makes It Possible to Weave the Threads of the Future in the Light

THE WAY OF THE GRAIL – SUPPLEMENTARY TEXTS – January 23, 2023

Whoever longs to live in the work of Creation must now make his own a lasting life in the fullness of peace, out of which alone those threads can flow for him that lead onward into his future existence

All other human volition, which down to the last thread is caught by the careful hands of the Vaenen and in the sifting is marked by them as lacking the pure attunement of the fullness of peace required by the Light, must according to the Law of God remain outside the entrance into the coming age on Earth

This condition works on all planes of the work of Subsequent Creation, and therefore it stands incorruptibly also as an insurmountable barrier to the entry of souls everywhere further on in the planes of the ethereal spheres, which by their luminosity vibrate more within the Light

It is thus the hardest thing that now hovers above the greatest part of humanity, as the Light draws near in order with its all-overpowering strength to determine the boundary up to which the hitherto impurity and insufficiency in the development of the human spiritual kind may still advance

For some this announcement is a deliverance, for others a grave warning

The gravity lies in this, that for the human future there is no other path than the one which from a certain degree onward is shone through by a pure fullness of peace as an inseparable part of the radiation of the inner being, which bears witness to the real spiritual progress of the human spiritual spark on its return to the spiritual home

Of that fullness of peace which bears human souls upward towards the Light

Of that fullness of peace out of which, from a certain degree of the spirit's maturity, the one path leading to his spiritual home is formed

Of that fullness of peace which, in union with the living knowledge of the Truth and of God, is for the human spirit the condition for the opening of the gate into eternal life

Of that fullness of peace from which, alas, most people are entirely far removed, for human souls still carry within themselves the will to retaliation, to revenge and to hatred

Now for this world too there descends a dividing wall which will not permit anything from the hitherto manner of life of people on Earth to press further through if it carries within itself impurity, seething and the wish for revenge and retaliation towards all their fellow men

Will people then not see how, precisely through this kind of wrong inner attitude of a great part of humanity, the world has for millennia been dragged into a cycle of unending atonement, out of which there is no other way than through forgiveness and the fullness of peace

For millennia the necessity of atonement has endured, instead of a progress upward blessed by the Light for the individual and for all life on Earth

Yet swiftly there approaches the time when in this there will visibly work that promised and all-surpassing divine power, which brings here to this Earth too experiences quite other than those of today

Today there still prevails on Earth the general supposition that there is nothing which may intervene in the right of human free will and in the wilful volition and thinking of men that unfolds from it

People, in their severance from all the other parts of the work of Creation, still live in their conceptions that it rests with them alone what they may think about the world and about other people, what they may wish and enforce, what they may do here on Earth, so long as they are not stopped in it by the opposition of other people or by the valid earthly laws of individual countries and nations

Wherever these earthly obstacles do not set themselves against human volition, there people everywhere suppose that they may enforce their volition regardless of whether they thereby cause pain or harm to their fellow men

The people of the present world on Earth do not admit that there could also be here the presence of a working Justice of God, and thereby of a returning reciprocal happening

Through the self-absorbed conceit of the intellect people have therein become entirely blinded to the recognition of anything higher, and have thus closed themselves to a perceiving which does not arise from conditions equal to their own, but from the hands of the Divine ordering of the course of all the worlds

Foolish people, who have become blind at a time which is so important for them

They do not admit at all that it is precisely the Light which at this time, under the pressure of the nearness of the Ray of Parzival, intervenes in the threads formed by the volition of men and with decisive sharpness separates out all that is far from the pure and harmonious kind, which alone now has the promise of preservation for the coming age

Although among people today almost nothing is known of it, this alters nothing in the fact that it is already very near

For some time now precisely all this has already been taking place, and in the threads spun by the animistic weavers there fulfils itself the judgment which strikes all that is far from the Light and thus alien in the vibration which by the Wisdom of God is designated as alone right for the human spiritual kind

To the human spirit on the path of his development there was given from the beginning the possibility to create all that vibrates as pure and creative volition, striving for an ever more ardent and also ever more knowing accord with the harmony of the Will of God in the work of Creation

In this the human spirit was to develop and to gain in his maturity and wisdom, which can then always direct him automatically nowhere else than upward towards the Light

The working of the Laws of Creation is so ordered that if the human spirit lastingly radiates purity in living fashion within himself and carries within himself an inner being open to creative accord with the harmony of the work of Creation, then these Laws lead him along prepared, blessed paths ever upward into higher vibrations of the joyful full worth of being

Thus through the effect of the Laws, working unceasingly in the work of Creation as a principle proceeding from the Will of God, there was set at the beginning a lovingly gentle boundary between all that will still be supported out of the Light and that which is already far from the harmony of the work of Creation formed by the Light, that is, everything which by its attitude stands in contradiction to the harmony beyond that boundary

The Love of God, however, laid into the threads of human volition the possibility of wavering and of erring for the initial seeking of the right path to the Light in the worlds of the densest planes of the materialities

This was a manifestation, until now not grasped by men, of divine kindness and patience, which left in those densest planes of the materialities of Subsequent Creation an appointed space for the development of the spiritual

It was given through an ordering in which the threads of the return were stretched into far-reaching circles, and in this lay that patience towards all that is spiritual at the beginning of its development in the work of Subsequent Creation

The Wisdom of God naturally expected that the developing human sparks immersed in the densest materialities would err at their beginning

A wavering was foreseen in the learning to use the gift of free will, which came to the human spiritual kind as its most precious gift and is inseparable from it

At the same time everything was prepared so that this erring would gradually fade away and change for the better as human souls received the returning knowledge of the consequences of their deeds

If people had reflected rightly on all this and, with the help of the mature spirits coming to them throughout that whole time, who led them upward in the knowledge of the work of Creation, had perceived everything in living fashion, then an ascent would have followed, and in the reciprocal experiencing there would swiftly have come to men only blessings, joy and happiness as welcome guests in all the earthly homes of men

Thus did the Love of God graciously order and prepare it all for the human spirits developing in the work of Subsequent Creation

Yet this Love of God and the great patience laid into the Law by the Wisdom of God were for the most part misused by people, in their excessive spiritual comfortableness and vacillation, ever more for evil and for all volition and conduct opposed to the Light

Thus people entangled themselves in ever new threads of wrongs, instead of prizing in ardent awareness the Loving-Kindness of God, which had therein prepared for them the possibility of progress in their spiritual development

In long-lasting immaturity and unwillingness to change anything for the better, people came into an endless chain of necessary atonement

Only a few recognised this rightly and also roused themselves to a genuine change towards a purer life more full of peace

These entered upon the right path prepared for the human spiritual kind in the work of Subsequent Creation

Since it was made possible for them, in their ennobling of themselves and in their inner ripening, always to dissolve beforehand the threads of all evil before it could return to them as its originators, they were permitted to receive the gift of the Love of God lying therein through their own being as true spiritual children of Creation, and an ascent out of all hardships and pains could be granted them

What grace lies in this must surely be recognised by everyone who has but once prayed in trust upward to God for forbearance and forgiveness, when he had truly seen through his erring in some grave matter, and then experienced that help and forgiveness were indeed granted him

The words about the forgiveness of sinners are therefore not merely a biblical simplification, so that simple people might in pure childlikeness better receive the Creator in his goodness, as is generally assumed in the reading of the Bible, but they are a clear and plain description of the happenings which take place when a man in deepest recognition sees through his erring and is also ready to make it good

The forgiveness of a man's sins comes only through his transformation towards a better and purer life

In that moment the threads in Creation are made ready to set for him paths on which he will one day be able to meet with a symbolic making good of his past conduct

The Love of God therefore shaped the course of the Laws in the work of Subsequent Creation so that they would work with greater patience than in the planes of the Light, and therefore for a certain time this ordering had to remain in force, for the Will of God creates with foresight of the necessary development

Thus through this gracious effect of the Love of God the plane of gross materiality became a possible place for the existence of men in their immaturity, for otherwise men would have had to be called away almost always at once whenever they did something evil towards their fellow men or towards the animistic activity

How swiftly human life would end if the threads did not return to man with the patient Love of God, no one is even today able rightly to imagine

Therefore the circles of the threads woven by the Vaenen and the Alphar unfolded along such far-reaching ways, so that in this men might with thanks find ever more gratefully the effect of the Grace and the Loving-Kindness of God

The awareness of this grace could help men to the recognition of the great kindness of God, which wisely, from the beginning of the worlds of gross materialities in the individual parts of the work of Subsequent Creation, gave the animistic weavers the instruction to patience in the weaving of the threads

Yet the result, under the influence of the conceited intellect and also under the constant tempting of the darkness, gradually came to a wholly opposite end

The darkness misused this Loving-Kindness of God for its cunningly distorted ends, so that as many human spiritual sparks as possible would become entangled in their development by confirming themselves in the belief that the evil they caused does not return to its originator

The immaturity of human souls, and above all the complete severance of the earthly intellectual world of men from the harmony of Creation, found in this only a proof of injustice and also a denial of a higher divine existence above a seemingly imperfect world

That all this is precisely the confirmation that the work of Creation proceeded from the lovingly creating Will of God was entirely lost in the narrowness of the human view of the earthly section of their existence

Inner spiritual lukewarmness and the insufficient will arising from it to recognise all this rightly in all its connections, joined with the immature human craving for equality among men, gradually formed on Earth a ground into which the tempter with his minions sowed with ease the seeds of envy, of hatred and of other manifold evil, which could take root in immature souls

In the tempting, the dark currents fed by Lucifer created in men the impression that nothing such as the Laws of God holds good, and that those who do not govern themselves by the higher virtues are at an advantage

The Laws fulfilling themselves here and there in the lives of men were always quickly called into question and labelled as the workings of chance and as isolated manifestations seemingly unconnected with anything past

The human inner being grew dull and clung to the opinion that the will of men is the only one which determines the direction of all development on this Earth

Thereby life on Earth tore itself away almost entirely from all connection with the harmony of the whole of the work of Creation

The ardent thanks of the human spirit for the patient Love of God working in the Laws faded away together with the receptivity for all that is higher, and that Loving-Kindness of God became for some a reason to mock God, and for others a reason for bitter reproaches of his imperfection and injustice

Both then led in inwardly weak people only to the rejection of the promise of eternal life as God's gift, and to clinging with full strength to materialistic thoughts of one single earthly life

To earthbound, intellectually reasoning people materialism began to appear as the view of life nearest to them

Despite all the necessary denials of grave questions about the very origin of matter and about all the subsequent, still unexplained happenings, a great part of humanity let itself be cast into a state of rejecting God as the Creator of this earthly world which they understood as imperfect

Thereby people excused their own lukewarmness in thinking and reflecting about life and about themselves

They lowered themselves to mere material creatures possessing, measured against the duration of planets and stars, one earthly, fleeting mayfly life

In many, every inner call leading to the rejection of this mistaken conclusion was stifled already in the early years of their life by the attitude of the older people dwelling around them, who answered and still answer the grave questions of children by saying that the questions of what comes after death and what was before birth are mere foolishness with which it makes no sense to occupy oneself in life

In all these attitudes of men, however, the eye of one who bears within himself a higher knowledge of the real meaning of man's existence as a creature whose inner being has a precious spiritual origin can find only immaturity, testifying to a distortion of the understanding of the Creator and of His Wise Laws

The higher Justice denied by materially minded people was never separated from the course of human existence, but on the contrary brings unceasingly into the lives of men, in reciprocal effect, everything that was ever called into life by them themselves

The circling of the threads woven out of human volition was in reality never given over to manifestations of injustice, but in this wise course of the threads there always rests, together with perfect Justice, also the Loving-Kindness of God

The duration of the course of the threads, which was laid into the running of the work of Subsequent Creation as a kindly grace, led under the superficial understanding of men to their opposite conclusion, so that instead of recognising God's Loving-Kind patience towards the erring of developing human souls, the work of Creation was understood by men as imperfect and unjust

And so it still is even today

There is lacking a genuine recognition and also a right understanding of this recognition, for the mere outward acquaintance with this necessary knowledge, if it is without intuitive perceiving on the part of the human spirit, also leads unceasingly to mistaken suppositions and conclusions

From time to time it leads to doubts even in people who possess knowledge of Creation and who therefore already hold the Truth in their hands

An insufficient inner living acquaintance with this Truth then necessarily leads in them to erring, in which they themselves must again and again experience their tossing about in the returning threads to which they gave life through wrong attitudes and conduct towards their fellow men

Where the living intuitive perceiving of the spirit with the purest approach to one's fellow men is lacking, there no verbal acquaintance with the Truth will ever help

People then, although they possess knowledge of God and of His work of Creation, stand in the flowing of this work as theorists, who in their very nature miss the understanding of the sparkling and the ardour of life

Therefore they are lasting strangers in this work of Creation and must as a consequence pile up through their doings only new and ever new faults, out of which the Vaenen and the Alphar weave for them further experiencing which must in the end reach them

Therefore it is so needful to accept with the pure trust of the spirit that the mentioned circling of the threads, which for a certain time is lost beyond the horizon as far as human sight can reach, was from the beginning a manifestation of the Loving-Kindness of God, which set the length of the arm of the Justice of God

The threads endure even though by their course they escape the sight of the human spirit

Caught by the Vaenen from man's volition, they describe a circle out of which, in a perfectly just reciprocal happening, there is one day woven by the hands of the Alphar that present which each of these people needs to accept and to work through

No one is exempt from this course of lawful happening in Creation

The mentioned circling, led by the kindness of the Love of God and by the ordering of conditions in the materialities, has hitherto endured a certain time

So it endured until the coming of the Turning of the Worlds, that is, until under the influx of Light from the Grail through the Ray of Parzival there came the appointing of a new age of development, which presupposes a higher maturity of the human spiritual in this part of Creation

For a certain time, therefore, all this had to unfold in the way hitherto known to men, however much in it they came, through their ignorance and lack of understanding of the lawful happenings, to the conclusions that God is either unjust or does not even exist at all

Thus on Earth, even despite the drawing near of the Light at the coming of the Ray of Parzival, the course of the threads had at first to proceed only gradually, for the change of all effects submitted itself to the great influxes of powers from the heights of Creation and also from Valhalla, in which everything first had to be transformed and adapted for the working of the accelerated return of the threads in the densest sections of matter as well

This fulfilling of all the happening needed sufficient time for a complete transformation, for otherwise gross materiality would have collapsed under a swifter pressure of the Light

There also had to be here on Earth a sufficient number of awakened human spirits living rightly in the Laws of God, who would form a living bridge for the crossing into the new age of accelerated reciprocal happening for the rest of seeking mankind

Through the lukewarmness of the called, which held back precisely this condition, there gradually formed the weakest link in the realising of all the changes brought by Parzival and coming together with the announced Turning of the Worlds

In the end, therefore, the happening could not unfold in the way which, with the direct earthly participation of the Son of Man, would have been for earthly mankind the most blessed crossing from the old into the new

The running of the mechanism of all the parts, planes and spheres of the work of Subsequent Creation always demands a complete tuning of the state of every transformation that comes

Only a small deviation, and for all the forces resting therein it brings a tearing apart and a destruction, much as when an insensitive hand with a crude tool intervenes in a delicately set clockwork

Human knowledge, which knows nothing of the great creating of the animistic in the dense worlds of the hermetis, is also unable to imagine all that is now touched by that transformation which fulfils itself under the effect of the Ray of Parzival, which brings the release of all the promises

That new vibration brings acceleration into everything, not only into the individual threads of human existence

Every shift in this means for the animistic beings immense preparations of the happenings, if these are to be fulfilled in the entire interconnection of the whole and not merely as the manifestation of an isolated, accelerated particular

The universe – the hermetis, and all that is contained within it, is one interconnected whole

Thus even in this present time it all appears as though the effects of the Laws run outwardly according to the original circulation of all the threads, filled with divine patience

In the finer realm, however, an end has already been made of this, and with the now completed preparation of the ground of the hermetis of Ephesus for the new age on Earth, all human volition will begin to return in a shortened happening

People can already observe this in the happenings of nature, which show themselves in unprecedented manifestations and effects on all the continents of the Earth

This is a part of the overall transformations which are coming, and not merely a happening in nature

People should take heed, for it takes place over an ever greater expanse of all the earthly continents, however different it may be in its manifestations in various places

But this is only the result of the way that acceleration of the happenings penetrates into the grossest matter and thereby intervenes in the fulfilling of the activity of the animistic in this or that place

Only together with the completion of all this preparation can it begin to penetrate also to individual people in their returning threads of fate which they themselves have formed

To each it is already returning now, to bring all that was ever called into life by himself

Thus mankind cannot now be taken by surprise when in the end it all falls upon them in one moment, when at the sign of Parzival those patient circles of the threads of all human volition begin to return in accelerated fashion, without the restraints which held good in the hitherto ordering of the speed of the happenings in gross materiality

It will accelerate and will bring what is long past together with all that a man formed only a very short while ago

All this is now made ready in the hands of the Alphar, because the material boundaries hitherto working in it have been made glowing and are thereby able to shorten the length of the returning reciprocal working

Thus it will now be able gradually to enter the lives of men with new manifestations of the sudden return of the result of their own thoughts and deeds

However sudden the happening may be, it will nevertheless all unfold in the strictly guarded fulfilment of the Laws of Creation

Many a man will be unexpectedly struck in it and in the suddenness of the happenings will again regard himself as nothing but the victim of an unjustly ill-disposed fate

Yet what reaches him will always be only the consequence of his own volition

In many it will call forth a complete tearing away from all the hitherto certainties by which people have for a long time let themselves be easily ruled, for under the snare of the darkness, through intellectual conceit, they believed the delusion that nothing such as the Just Will of God could ever intervene in their lives here on Earth

It will call forth a state of paralysis and at the same time a state of great hatred against the Light in all those who have already removed themselves entirely from true human existence by stifling within themselves all receptivity of their own spiritual spark

But this will again bring only an acceleration of the reciprocal effect, and everything will then come down upon them in one single moment like a stroke of lightning

Yet this lightning will not come suddenly, as they would suppose in their outcry against their fate

For a long time already it has been thundering above the heads of men, high up in the ethereal planes

For a long time already the animistic and the spiritual forces have been gathering under the pressure of the Ray of Parzival, forces which at the same time press from the finer into the coarser, in order to become reality here too, on this plane of the earthly world

The happening of the coming Judgment was announced long ago

Parzival's earthly call for earthly mankind to submit to the Will of God descended over this Earth a hundred years ago

And after that the Word circled the Earth many times more, so that not one single soul would be left out of the working of the Just effect of the Laws of Creation in the Judgment

The judging Word of Truth lives above the Earth and also in the threads of all life on Earth, as in its own way an independently working Sword of Judgment

Only, people did not wish to give all this their attention, because they always had something else which they held to be more important

Yet this has brought them to the present beginning of a happening which comes upon a long-standing human ignorance

This will bring it about that the majority will be wholly taken aback by the new kind of happenings in the materialities

And because there is no time to spare, only one thing remains for each of them, the complete retuning of his inner being to the fullness of peace, which will permeate all their thinking and conduct, as the last opportunity of rescue from the striking blows of the impacts of the returning threads

The fullness of peace alone is what can still at the last moment lay in part a protecting, weakening radiation between the returning heavy effects of the threads and the very being of man

That fullness of peace carries within itself the rescue for human existence, if the spirit of man cleaves wholly to this attunement fulfilled by himself

Where the fullness of peace is not, there no threads strong enough for the future existence of the human soul can be woven

The barrier of radiation which is appointed as the divide between the present and the future time will not permit further existence to that life which remains far from the rest of the Harmony of the work of Creation

If only people here on Earth were permitted to behold the struggle of those souls who, suspecting nothing, entered the beyond and there met with an inexorable demand which set itself against them like a cold, impenetrable wall, not permitting them to advance further into the more luminous planes of the ethereal spheres

If they were permitted to see how this plane close to the Earth is filled with struggling souls who with all their strength strive desperately at the last moment to shine through their constricting soul garment, oppressive in its greyness, with purer threads of the fullness of peace

Surrounded for the most part by ignobility of every kind, and at the same time struck by the Light which burns sharply into their eyes whenever they look upward, they strive in an ardent struggle for their existence to awaken within themselves the fullness of peace, which is at the same time continually shaken by the unkindly conditions of an eked-out existence in the half-light

It is a struggle for being and non-being of which nothing is known here on Earth, but which arises in a great part of souls shortly after their departure and their loosening from the earthly body, which belongs to the plane of this gross material world

The souls long upward, but they cannot, for by their attitude they have grown unaccustomed to all that vibrates in the Light

And precisely the fullness of peace is for them that saving path which makes it possible to grow more accustomed to the Light and to behold in it the Truth, and together with it all the helps which the souls previously perceived only subconsciously as they strove to get upward in spite of the pain which it caused them

The awakening of the fullness of peace is the last rescue, offered like a rope to souls drowning in the darkness

The fullness of peace therefore needs to merge in man with the knowledge of the Truth, so that for knowing people too the barrier on the path to the Light may open

People who speak of themselves as clairvoyants prove how in reality they are not such, for if they truly saw further, they would have to speak with the utmost urgency of this barrier standing on the path upward to the Light

They would also have to call out to people about the struggle of souls which is now a part of the great transformations of the ethereal spheres above the Earth

Their genuine seeing would lead to an urgent admonishing towards the awakening of aliveness in the independent intuitive perceiving of their fellow men, and above all to a call for peace, which alone now opens the way into further existence for every spiritual creature in this part of the work of Creation

By the Light there is a call for this awakening of the inner being of the human spirit

Therefore it is now in the highest degree a condition, here on Earth too, to awaken the fullness of peace in the human inner being and to bring it to visible manifestation towards all the life around

But in this lies a most insidious danger which the darkness has formed as its last snare for human intellectual thinking

The darkness has created the form that the fullness of peace means weakness, helplessness and resignation in conduct

Yet this is only another cleverly laid snare for the human intellect, because on the contrary it holds true that today, more than ever, an entire fullness of peace in conduct demands for itself the true strength of the spirit

The fullness of peace, if threads for the rescue of the spirit and of the earthly body are to be woven from it, needs the highest aliveness and thereby strength within, because it needs to overcome all the weaknesses in man which set themselves as obstacles to the manifestation of the fullness of peace in all conduct in life

It is therefore entirely the reverse, for precisely outward coarseness, insensitivity, deviousness and aggression towards one's fellow men make do with the smallest kind of strength, since this is on Earth already something generally habitual and thus commonplace in the conduct of a great part of humanity

People who proceed only mechanically in thinking and in conduct towards their fellow men need for it no strength of a spiritual kind, but make do with the outermost kind of their will

But to manifest the fullness of peace means to walk an independent path which is here almost entirely untrodden, which has many pitfalls, and which therefore demands the greatest participation of the powers of the spirit

The fullness of peace is not welcomed among people and is often a cause of mockery and opposition, if the spirit is not certain within himself, with sufficient strength of conviction, that this is truly his path to further endurance in the work of Creation

If, however, the fullness of peace flowing from the spirit is lasting and calm in all conduct, then sooner or later it calls forth a magnetic attraction in all people who are still inclined within themselves towards the good

It must work in this way, because it is a lawful happening

But first it is needful, with the exertion of all a man's powers, to learn to offer the weavers of the threads that pure and clear flowing of the fullness of peace out of his inner being

Thereby there is also formed around such a man a space in which all the returning evil threads are weakened and in the end wholly dissolved

Thus as the condition of their complete living out they will bring only a faint symbolic happening, or else this will be entirely balanced within the already formed lasting radiation of the fullness of peace

The strength of the newly woven threads will shine right through all that is still to return

And thereby the spirit frees himself, and the coming happening of the Holy Judgment over mankind will bring him by its power only blessing and strengthening for all that he has still to accomplish here on Earth

Just as the struggle of souls for their being and non-being not far above this Earth in the present time was mentioned above, so too it is possible to speak of the joyful thanks which blaze from the inner beings of those who have conquered and in whose soul there now reigns a state full of peace, which bears them almost automatically upward into ever higher planes of luminous ethereal landscapes and gardens filled with the beauty and the happiness of their riper inhabitants

The world here and there trembles in the present happening of the divide of the ages

And through all luminous souls it permeates as the promise of a new influx of the Loving-Kindness of God, which lets the animistic weavers weave only what is bound with the Light

Only purity, light and peace in the human inner being carry within themselves the promise of endurance

You who recognise this, do now everything for the changing of yourself, that the threads of your wishes may vibrate only in the Light
