The Circles of the Peaceful – More Light

THE WAY OF THE GRAIL – SUPPLEMENTARY TEXTS – January 10, 2022

Czech original: Kruhy Klidných – Více Světla · cesta-gralu.cz

It is the simplest demand from the Light upon the human spirit that he be a supporter of everything which leads to ascent, to the support of the pure striving of all life within the great harmony of the work of Creation

Through the fulfilment of this demand, which resounds through the whole space in which the human spirit is permitted to wander, there opens for him a connection of the most precious kind

Ever more strengthening powers are permitted to stream to him, which literally surround him with their loving-kindness in order to draw him upwards towards the spiritual home

He becomes a part of the great cycle of giving and receiving, in which since the beginning of Creation there flows the principle of helping love laid therein by God

And there, where the principle of mutual support is awakened and where pure giving out of joy prevails, everywhere there the connection with the Light is maintained, which brings blessing and riches to all who have joined this flowing cycle of the Loving-Kindness of God

Everyone can grow therein and draw strength for himself in such measure as his spirit is able to take into itself

Nor will the fundamental wellspring ever be exhausted, for it issues from the inexhaustible Starting-point of the most Holy divinely unsubstantiate origin

The influx of God's Power is inexhaustible and gives enduringly in loving-kindness to all creatures who unite themselves with the cycle of the luminous Power in Creation

Ever more and more Light can flow to all places, and never will a boundary be reached therein which would set itself as a limiting obstacle to the unfolding of the abilities of each one of the inhabitants of Creation

The measure of abilities and also the measure of knowledge about all the happenings in Creation is unbounded, and equally without bounds is life itself which has arisen out of the Light, for with every new striving the spaces of Creation can widen and develop

The Power for this will always be given here unconditionally for use

The Will of God bears within itself, for all this, but one single condition

The living movement of every creature

That, then, is the condition for the human spirit in his independently free movement and his own activity, that he may draw from this Power

The more pure rhythmic movement and striving he unfolds, the more of the luminous, quickening and supporting Power is given to him for the further blossoming of his abilities

When will men grasp that all this is in reality easy and simple

Give, and it shall be given to you, wish well, and well shall be wished to you

The more you honour your neighbours and esteem their striving, the more will in the end be given also to you yourself upon your path through Creation

This is the Law which works in Creation like living water bringing blessing to all life, if only this life ranges itself into the principle of blessed loving-kindness which fulfils the principle of giving and receiving

Trust in this Law needs only to be more deeply intuitively perceived here upon Earth and brought into the present

Now a clearly determined boundary-stone must be set to this consciousness of distrust in this Law, a distrust which has so long been paralysing and which holds good in all the acting of men

Distrust in the Light and in its victory carries itself continually into all the relations between individual men and is a great cause of the lack of Light upon this Earth

The tempter could not have wished for a better consequence of his plan to turn the human spirit away from the Light than that he led it here upon Earth into a blind alley, when through the unrestrained acting of base and evil individuals he gradually crippled, in all the other inwardly better men as well, the trust in the working of the Laws of Creation and in their victorious power, which manifests itself in everything wherever man stands with pure volition and with the conviction that the Light is mightier than the darkness

How many times has this already been trampled underfoot, and how many times has the inner trust of man grown faint when he met with the acting of men turned away from the Light, who had the upper hand over him or over those close to him and who in earthly conditions were the stronger

Instead of a surging up of his own inner strength to stand all the more purely and rightly, his trust was shaken within him, and the living pictures of right acting, filled with honour and sincerity, which should always be victorious, became for him merely a part of long past tales and of fairy stories for children

That this is only a delusion, skilfully fashioned by the fallen tempter, almost none of earthly men saw through for whole millennia, apart from solitary exceptions

And that thereby the brightness of the pure conscious strength was robbed, the strength which flows from the certainty of the victory of the Light whenever it is permitted to draw near to pure human thinking and acting in the struggle for the good, this scarcely any of men observed with the necessary keenness

Hand in hand with this the spiritual dimension of human life was lost, and together with it there was lost all receptivity for the finely radiant threads of victory, which always lead up above the worlds here, to the regions of the spiritual home

All the strength of earthly men directed itself under all circumstances only towards victory in gross material space

Many did indeed strive to recognise more, but in their search for something higher they became entangled in the doctrines of religious and mystical teachings, in which they could never find sufficient support of the luminous Power, which flows only there where the most living consonance with the Laws of Creation is experienced by man

Where in man there lives a clear conviction of this accord with Creation and with the Laws working within it, there a strengthening must at once become manifest, be it the inner courage within man or the effects of the Laws showing themselves visibly outwardly

This, however, was weakened by the loss of trust in the victory of the spirit, and the necessary conviction was robbed of the childlike purity it required, which the religions replaced with the dulled mumbling of prayers

Through this everything fell more and more into a greyness which, like an impenetrable fog, had to spread over all human activity upon Earth and thus confuse even a great part of otherwise honourable men

Earthly life thus became, for the host of all those souls still struggling for the good, a wandering through the valley of shadows

There remained only a dim groping, and the trust in the principles of the Good and of the Light was further deprived of strength whenever in some clash the darkness gained the upper hand over the seemingly good volition of men

It is fitting, however, to say: “seemingly good,” because in this volition the necessary spark of inner conviction about the victory of the Light had from the outset no part

Out of a misty smouldering the light of a bright flame but seldom arises

Moreover there was yet one further serious obstacle

If at times there was indeed a conviction of victory within man, then at the same time wrong paths to this victory were chosen, which in their severance from Creation could have no necessary support in the wise animistic and spiritual guidance of the helping forces

Where there was indeed the conviction of the certainty of the victory of honourable, noble acting and where at the same time the support of the animistic helpers was neglected, there the darkness had always to win in the end, for it made good use of the support lost in the misty groping of men

For the conscious bringing of the victory of the Light upon this Earth the necessary knowledge of the forces in Creation was lacking

For a long time the missing knowledge of the course of the work of Creation crippled the necessary radiance of the conviction of the victory of the Light, and thereby the indispensable interconnection was also lacking, which alone brings true spiritual maturity

There was lacking the bright Ray of God's Truth, which like a flash of lightning would have cleft the grey twilight of human groping and shown the connection with the highest forces in the work of Creation

But now this Truth is here, and like a radiant torch it lights the way for everyone who longs for the pure fulfilment of his life in accord with the Laws of Creation

This Truth is continually enlivened by the Ray of Parzival, which remains within close reach of the universe here, for He has withdrawn into the halls of the Guardian Castle built by the volition of the knights of Montsalvat, that castle which was formed by the spiritual knighthood above the most radiant gardens of the ethereal worlds for their protection

Thus that furthest part of the divine radiation remains in its activity in Ephesus and leads the development of all happening further towards a victorious end in this world community

At the very outermost place in the said Ray there shines the living form of Parzival, which connects this distant part of the Subsequent Creation with the streaming of the divine radiation of Imanuel, which from the primordially eternal divinely animistic realm of God the Father passes through the castle of the Grail

Thereby an end is put to all the groping of human spirits, for whoever longs to walk rightly through life now has everything necessary immediately at hand, as soon as he opens himself to the Light in his attunement

Parzival is with a part of Himself within the Ray, and thus the Ray contains within it His form, which appears to its surroundings as the living figure of Parzival Himself, although He Himself is personally in the castle of the Grail in the Primordial Creation, where He serves God the Father in the administration and protection of the whole work of Creation

Although He stands at the end of the said Ray as a living figure, He Himself, being in the castle of the Grail, is not burdened thereby, and it is no hindrance to Him in working meanwhile in undivided wholeness in His mission for the whole work of Creation

It is a mystery of the divine kind, which the human spirit will grasp only if he takes into himself the picture in which the original foundation of all happening in Creation is radiation

Along the course of this radiation there then carries itself all the higher divine and in part also primordially created spiritual and animistic consciousness, as though it were directly participating in the happenings of the distant planes

This consciousness runs along the pathway of radiation into the far distances from its starting-point, in order to work at the places where it is needed

Parzival Himself, being the First Administrator of the Light in the castle of the Grail at the summit of Creation, is at the same time present with His consciousness in the radiation of the Ray, which, after the end of His path for which He was anchored in an earthly covering, then raised its outermost part into those regions where it could be preserved from the further suffering which came upon Him in His direct incarnation into the earthly gross material plane

That is, into the regions of that Guardian Castle bearing the name Montsalvat – the Holy Mountain, whose prototype is the castle of the Grail in the spiritual

Thus for a certain time the Ray of Parzival dwelt in this place, in the brightly shining Guardian Castle filled with courage, which through the influx of power from His presence was set aglow and brought to a yet higher lustre

Here, surrounded by the host of the faithful Ismani and of the rest of the spiritual knighthood, Parzival awaited the time when the wheel of history would turn, so that in the right attunement out of the Will of God the Father the completion of the Judgment might come, bearing forms of a new kind, for the original fulfilment resting upon the earthly presence of the Son of Man upon Earth had become a thing of the past

It was not, however, an idle waiting, for the Light knows only enduring creating and development

It was therefore a time of joyful activity, for here the Ray of Parzival could be among the luminous host which came to know it and honoured it with the most fervent devotion in listening, and in this encircling new paths were formed for the help of the gross material part of Ephesus

For the knighthood the Ray, which is only a part of the consciousness of Parzival, was and also is real in its living formation of personality in the most luminous ethereal substance, and for all time it is received by the host of the faithful as Parzival Himself

It was a time of joyful preparations for the ordinance of God the Father

A great roaring and a mighty chorus accompanied this period, for it was a time filled with the most faithful activity and with preparations which were to come later to their application in the universe, which trembled in silent expectation of what would come after the period in which new threads had to be set for gross material life upon Earth

While earthly mankind staggered spiritually on the brink of a complete fall, which was prevented only by the still enduring anchorage of the radiation of the Holy Trigon, a part of which through Maria and Irmingard still remained upon Earth, there passed through the place of the Guardian Castle a multitude of those who at the last moment still incarnated into earthly bodies for the grave time approaching upon Earth, that they might be prepared for the call of the Lord at the point of the culmination of the Judgment upon Earth

Many of the newly arriving spirits received the Holy blessing of Parzival, that during the time of their incarnation upon Earth they might be permitted to awaken and to find the way to the Truth

Here too there was a host of those who had failed and who, after their recall from earthly life, were permitted in the nearness of the Ray of Parzival to become aware of their share of guilt in the frustration of the luminous plan for the liberation of the Earth from the darkness

In humble entreaty their flames shone with a new longing to make good the past

And the Lord, at the intercession of His divine brother Jesus, permitted many of them to expiate the threads of their failure by granting them a new activity for the Light

Thus many who are again upon Earth bear within their inner being the grave reminder that this time they are to attain within themselves the complete inner conviction of the victory of the Light, and in this conviction also to overcome, maturely and rightly, their former weaknesses and thus to make good many transgressions

In a short time there came to them, in the luminous planes of the ethereal gardens, strengthening and illuminating knowledge, that they might anew hold fast within themselves a strong spiritual intuitive perception and be able to master the instrument of the brain, which would again burden them together with the newly granted covering of the earthly body

With this mission a multitude of helpers sent by the Light entered again into earthly bodies, so that at intervals they would encompass every maturity of human age when the time of the liberating work from the Light should come

And the time of the call of the Father has come

Imanuel has sent through Parzival's Ray into the far distances of Creation a portion of the new Will for the completion of the work

At that time the gates of the castle opened and forth rode the cavalcade of the radiant knighthood which had already earlier, on the journey down through Creation, joined the luminous King

Mighty is this cavalcade, which is led by the Ray of the Light of God in Parzival

Upon His brow a golden band shines with a blinding flaming lustre into the far distances, bearing the inscription “Son of Man”

A golden radiance having the shape of a crown surrounds the head of the first King in Creation, and the eye of the seer beholds in the flood of golden Light the snow-white wings of the dove, for with Him draws near Imanuel

From afar it appears as an advancing Holy Cross illuminating everything with white Light with golden rays

Alongside the host which passes through the planes of the more luminous ethereal substance already liberated and purified, there now advances also the Star, which before this had to pause upon its course, for it is to announce Him who will now come in golden ethereal clouds to this Earth

Its time too is coming, and its radiation strengthens in advance the will towards the Light in men, if there is in them sufficient pure spiritual foundation

That it may be possible to stand firm in this great happening, a demanding call resounds for all who are incarnated here upon Earth for the service of the Light, that there may come alive within them the fervent resolve to open themselves wholly to the Light

The call, “More Light,” thus applies above all to all those who have already been permitted beforehand to receive the Truth of the Grail Message, for they possess within themselves all the knowledge necessary for placing themselves completely into the happening of the Light

In them above all there should now blaze the trust in the Light and in its victory over all the manifestations of the darkness which it made its own when it settled upon Earth

With trust there is joined courage, which as an important part of the strength now tears apart the last shreds of the fog, which the Light of the approaching Ray of Parzival burns and dissolves just as the rising gross material sun forces to retreat the mists that spread until a certain hour over the awakening countryside

And as this divine Light glows and burns ever more, everything is quickened and driven by a power invisible to earthly eyes towards the manifestation of its endowments and abilities

Everything dark shows itself more plainly and more visibly also in the earthly doings of men, who in the social ferment will gradually have to reveal completely what their real motives are and what their innermost volition is

At the same time, however, everything upon Earth which is connected with the Light and longs to be wholly in consonance with it and to create within its Laws is to awaken and to become luminous in full strength

Now is the time for the proving of that inner conviction of the victory of the Light in all happening

And for the circles of those who have already united themselves with the Truth, striving to fulfil it with their lives, there now comes the time when their spirit is to come fully alive in the joyful reception of the Light

More Light is to penetrate into everything, and this also through the activity of earthly men, who with redoubled will are to strive, in their own independent movement, to fulfil a living, spiritually conscious approach to everything that is brought to them by the Light upon their earthly path

And this striving has many layers, it is therefore nothing superficial, as it might appear

The spirit has within itself many abilities and gifts, and these it can discover and unfold only in the highest inner movement

It is not always great things that the Light demands of man, as is generally supposed

But consonance with the Light is born in little things and in the smallest vibrations of intuitive perception, that is, in matters which are easily overlooked

Joy and the fullness of peace, as the testimony of a human spirit which has opened itself to the Light, need to vibrate in the whole approach to life, not only in those moments when for the sake of the Light he gathers his thoughts in the brain

From the inner being outwards it is to be one whole stream which simply follows the influx of the Light into the universe here and brings it to visibility for other men through the kindly helping wisdom of those who are permitted to see it beforehand

Knowing is always joined with a joyful will to help one's fellow men

Where the will to help is lacking, there knowing is absent, or else it does indeed dwell in the spirit of man, but in its manifestation it is weak and immature

Thereby such knowledge is of no use to the Light in that liberating kind of power in which everything vibrates in the coming happening which draws near

Everything that the spirit has received it needs to transform into living use and to pass on, for that is the Law in which precisely everything spiritual will be strengthened, so that it either bursts into flame or with a flash is extinguished for ever

Whatever does not range itself into this Law of giving and receiving will remain standing aside and will in the end lose everything that it already held as its own possession

This still threatens all those men too who know the Truth and suppose that no one can deprive them of this Truth

The Light will call forth pressure, and in their immobility they themselves will renounce the Truth if an enduring fervent longing for the Truth does not shine fully within them

Their knowledge will fade and grow so weak that in their thought-attunement they will forget that they were once permitted to hold the Truth in their hands

However impossible this may seem, it is the natural effect of the Laws of Creation, which under the pressure of the Ray of Parzival will intensify everything to manifestations hitherto unknown

With the highest inner joy the Circles of the Peaceful are therefore now to open themselves to the influxes of the Light and to pass on the blessed quickening brightness of this Light, transformed into human helping and into the creating of all that can become a manifestation of ascent towards the Light

Now comes the time which contains that well-known “either or”

Lukewarmness, so well tried by men and often welcomed as a manner of getting by, will not stand firm

But this is above all to be a strengthening for a courageous stepping forward with the joyful call

“More Light!”

More Light – this is not merely an exhortation to cry out a slogan, as men know it from history

There is contained in it far more than man can yet encompass at this moment of his limited receptivity for spiritual happenings

It may be said that there is contained in it the most important thing for the awakening of the inner abilities of the spirit

It is therefore not a call outwards, but above all a call to oneself, to one's own inner being, which needs to be set sounding and vibrating towards a strong conviction of the victory of the Light in the whole Creation of God the Father

It is therefore a matter of a vibration within the inner being, which is to come alive in man at once whenever the words “More Light” resound

It is living water for the spirit asleep in the covering of the density of matter, which now needs to awaken and to rouse itself to deeds

The animistic beings too awaken at this sound, and their activity will come alive all the more if they perceive from the human spirits upon Earth that these are now united with them in the vibrations of the resonance of the words “More Light”

The Circles of the Peaceful can and shall enter into their task, for which many came to this Earth, that they might fulfil their pledge to Parzival as the King of the Grail and through Him then to Imanuel, the Holy Spirit of God the Father

The connection begins in an inner vibrating-with, whenever in the inner being and in the thoughts there comes alive the awareness that we live in a time when with every new day there comes to the Earth “More Light”

With this Light it is possible and necessary to unite oneself and to translate it into deeds filled with a humanly mature helping of life upon Earth

That such activity will bring movement and thereby at last that great victory of the Light into all the happening here, of this everyone is then to be inwardly convinced in the highest trust and certainty

Through many prepared threads the old will then collapse, in order to make room for the new life liberated by the Light

Everything needed for this victory here upon Earth rests within the inner being of every single awakened spirit

And to the highest awakening of the spirit there leads, through its vibration, the inward joyful wish, “More Light!”
