The Coming New Year 2023 Brings the Breaking of the Seal of Forgetting

THE WAY OF THE GRAIL – SUPPLEMENTARY TEXTS – December 31, 2022

In the end it had to come just as it will now come to pass above mankind and within men themselves

The new year brings the opening of the gate for a wholly new part of the existence of mankind upon this Earth

And inseparably bound up with this part is the breaking of the seal of the spirit's forgetting of the true essence of its existence

In this happening there lies for many men something new

For many there lies in it a happening in which their memory of the spiritual kind will awaken within them with unexpected power, in order to bring to the one liberation in the joyful recognition of the meaning of life, and to the other a horror-filled dismay at the wilful destruction of the existence of his own spiritual life

No one was able to picture to himself exactly that it would come upon this Earth also in just such a way

In flashes men will all at once behold with their inward sight parts of their past paths, so as afterwards clearly to recognise that what is now happening to them is the consequence of the threads woven out of what they themselves at some time called into life

The breaking of the seal of forgetting will in part also loosen the band which hitherto firmly covered the inward sight

So it will be, because in the fulfilment of the Will of God it must at last come thus, in order that in everything that happens to men upon Earth there may with clarity be found in the outcome only the effect of the All-Wise Laws of God working in the work of Creation

No one will any longer be able to speak of a great injustice which brings unexpected blows of fate into his life

Thus will be silenced the mouths of all those who hitherto call upwards to God, reproaching Him in their ignorance with arbitrariness and injustice

Mankind will grow still in the intimation of something great which will gradually spread out above it like the wafting of a divine breath

It is the cooling power of the Justice of God that will descend among mankind through the working of the Ray of Parzival, in order to put an end to all the hitherto resistance of men in the receiving of the returning threads of their fate

At the very end, after all this, there will come the complete submission of mankind, for the greatest adversaries against God will no longer be upon Earth, and all the others will be brought to a recognition which will compel them to sink to their knees in silent prayer

The breaking of the seal of forgetting will become for many a man a surprising happening

At the same time it will be for him a great opportunity for the last rousing of the spiritual spark living within him to a saving movement upwards above all the basenesses in which through his earthly life he has hitherto been deeply stuck

This will bring many of the men to a new awakening in this present life

It will bring an influx of powers, so that all that hitherto lies upon the way to the Light may be lived through by the spirit and thereby laid aside

The Will of God in its Justice is at the same time the most gracious help for man, if he lays hold of the proffered helping hand out of the Light which draws near, so that men may still be permitted to recognise the true Will of God filled with the Loving-Kindness of God

The animistic servants have everything made ready for this

It is precisely the working of the animistic servants, who are the fulfilling executors of the Will of God upon Earth, that will come in a further making visible almost before every single man

Not, however, only in the happening of nature, as many men would picture to themselves in connection with the concept of the animistic, but precisely in the whole happening which in some way touches the entire earthly life of men upon Earth

It is a great fault that men have hitherto not occupied themselves with all that is bound up with the concept “the animistic”, or also with the expression “the working of the animistic”, or again “the weaving of the animistic”

All these concepts express a great content of activities which lie in the hands of these formers and administrators of all the planes of the materialities in Subsequent Creation

It may be said that it is really absolutely everything that they administer for man, being called to it by the Will of God

Thus, save for only a very few activities which are closely influenced by the direct influence of men upon Earth, everything is subordinate to the activity of the animistic weaving

Yes, under the administration of the animistic servants stands everything in Subsequent Creation

For this there are also appointed whole hosts of animistic servants, of whose activity men have hitherto had no awareness

Many now shake their heads, because they supposed that the influence of men in the material far surpasses the work of the animistic

But it is only an appearance, because in all the activities of men also the animistic must be co-working, for were it not so, everything in matter would come to a standstill, would wither and collapse, in spite of the strong wish of men that it should be otherwise

Human will would have but a small effect in this, if the animistic were once to receive the direction for such a thing from the Creator

Matter on all planes forms for the spirit the necessary space for the anchoring and the manifesting of its volition, which in the end can come to visible realisation only by means of that soil which the animistic has formed for it and enduringly administers

That the world of men too holds together, stands and works enduringly on is made possible only by the patient working of the animistic, which reaches into so many things of which the men of today have not even the faintest notion

Were it not so, human will would at once really be lost, for of itself it would not have the necessary support in the animistic, or better said in the conditions of life built up upon the Laws of Creation precisely and solely by the work of the animistic

Of all this men could know, if only they expended a little of their effort upon it, to reflect upon the connections of their existence

Were only a little more thought given to it, then surely in many men there would already have had to arise the intimation of how necessarily there must here be an omnipresent living, wise and creative power resting upon Laws which can be found in every visible and also invisible space of the matter of Subsequent Creation

In the end the naturally necessary recognition would have to come that everything is pervaded by the weaving, invisible to earthly eyes, of the active working of the animistic servants, who thereby bring to living fulfilment the effects of the Laws of Creation in one single, ever forward developing whole bearing the name “the Life of Creation”

And precisely earthly science could be a good mediator in this, for it has in its hand the very best instruments for recognising all this

But that would mean a swift end to all the pride which is the driving motor of the greatest part of today's scientific world in its research and examination of the outward offshoots of matter

Let us only consider what would come about if it came to light that a simple flower elf has more wise knowledge of plants and of the happenings taking place within them than a scientist who has studied at several schools and boasts of many diplomas and distinctions from his own circle of the scientific world

With a loud crash the crown of his pride would have to fall to the ground, if the tiny elf, who by his kind is nearer rather to human children and who perhaps still accepts to some degree those grown-ups who are open and purely receptive in heart, is able with ease to explain why and how the rays of the Sun of Apollon are changed in the leaves into the needed juices that nourish the whole plant

Such a thing the man marked today by many schools, who has hitherto regarded himself as socially very valuable, will only with difficulty allow

His wrongly set will, driven forward by the longing to attain renown and recognition, can only with difficulty permit him to accept the picture that all his knowledge, laboriously studied through the years, will melt away into nothing beside a little voice which laughs merrily at how it is possible that men do not see the Wisdom of God working in everything and do not even sense it in intimation, when it is withal so light and easy

There would first have to come about a great inward transformation in such an intellectually polished man, which of course is not excluded, but under the present conditions it can only with difficulty be assumed

And this mentioned animistic in its work, which it now has to perform in faithful service to the Light of God, which it perceives ever more strongly through the nearness of the Ray of Parzival

The Ray of Parzival contains within itself in part also the radiation of the Holy Judging Sword of Imanuel, and it is precisely this radiation that now works upon all the animistic, small and great, as a stream of driving power by which the movement of the animistic is ever more glowed through and thereby brought into livelier activity

It is similar to when we would observe the setting in motion of a huge mechanism driven by the power of steam

For example one may picture to oneself an old Sentinel steam waggon, or a steam locomotive, as such a machine, which by its nature is mighty and very heavy

Similar is it today with the newly quickened work of the animistic in the materialities

For the setting in motion of the machine much power is needed at the beginning, which for a fairly long while appears only as of little effect

For first the power in the steam boiler needs to come under pressure, and therefore the held-back power of the steam at first seems to be without effect upon the running of the machine

Gradually, however, the power of the steam does after all penetrate into all the further parts of the mechanism, and thereby these parts are set in motion

At last therefore the whole machine too sets forth

Through the individual gears the movement is led even to the smallest wheels, levers and rods of the complicated mechanism

Under the influxes of further power, however, the movement of everything accelerates, and with a roar and a thunderous steel rumbling the machine works itself up to an ever greater speed

Yet momentum is also gained, which owing to the weight and the material of the mechanism appears to the near observer as an awe-inspiring mightiness which can only with great difficulty be halted

So is it with a steam engine, as everyone will confirm who has been permitted to observe it in its setting in motion

And just as it is with the description of the setting in motion of the steam engine, so can man now picture to himself the happenings in the working of the animistic upon the course of gross materiality

This animistic working is set in motion under the effect of the nearness of a power of divine origin

And precisely in this gross materiality, which through the fall of the humanly spiritual kind has removed itself from all the livelier and lighter places in the hermetis and finds itself in a state of great rigidity and immobility, the work of the animistic needed first, under the pressure of the incoming power, to awaken into a wholly newly quickened service and, under the pressure of the Will of God, thereafter to sink its work still further into the very rigid matter

But now all this is already moving

In the inner being of the Earth and of the other planets around, indeed in the sun of Apollon itself, it begins to glow and to stir, even as the pressure of the Light penetrating with every further Festival of the Grail pervades everything, so that at last all the promises may after all be fulfilled and the human spirit may visibly recognise the Will of God everywhere around him

Everywhere we can see how the crust of the hitherto immobile outer shell of the materialities is cracking

We are just now participants in a happening in which the increasing power gains an unstoppable movement which is carried over into a great momentum in the new direction of the happening, a momentum which nothing that would set itself in resistance against it will halt

It is not in the power either of intellectual men or even of the darkness itself that this time the happening of the animistic fulfilling of the Will of God should be halted down to the smallest events

The power which through the Ray of Parzival pours into the animistic and also into the spiritual in all inwardly open men has already rolled over the threshold of what can be halted, and the happening of the Judgment is in its movement, in the forming of new forms and events through the work of the animistic, unstoppable

The Ray of Parzival, standing now above gross materiality, drives everything by its radiation into the final fulfilling

Everyone can see it who only a little strives to keep within himself a clearer view of the happenings upon Earth in the last few years

All this is the result of the accelerating working of all the animistic weaving in human destinies and also in the space of nature and of the stars

The animistic working will thus bring those happenings which already in this year will draw so near to every man that under the pressure of the experiencing of these happenings the seal of forgetting will be broken, and many will awaken in a single second to a consciousness which will concern an inward spiritual flash of recognition of their existence

That from which many subconsciously flee their whole life long, so as not to hear it and not to see it, because in their manner of living it disquiets them, will precisely become for them a visible and in part even tangible moment of the present

The seal of the spirit's forgetting will be broken, so that all that concerns its own path may come to the surface and either uplift it or bring it to a fall, when the spiritual spark will accuse all the volition which arose out of the knowledge of the individual coverings given to it for the way to ripeness

There draws near the making visible of all that hitherto, under the pressure of the refusing will in man, was not to show itself in its true picture as it really is in the Light of the Truth

In this coming happening there is contained everything needful, for none of the men now surmises what effect it will have upon him and what it will bring him

The flash of seeing oneself exactly as a man really is in his inner being, whether in the present life or also in the time when the soul journeys upon the ethereal paths outside the body, that is the new thing which hitherto seemed to be hidden beneath the seal of forgetting

And the whole history of mankind will now come to the surface, so that all the striving of men may be revealed as it inscribed itself into the threads woven by the animistic Vaenen as the truthful history of one part of Subsequent Creation

The greater part of the writings, books and scientific reflections hitherto, as well as the greatest part of the conceptions of men about the history of this Earth, will collapse like a proud building which, however, had no foundations

True foundations can proceed only from truthfulness which is in accord with the Justice of God

And because mankind upon Earth throughout the whole time of its history has heeded but little this Justice of God, as also everything that came to Earth from God, all conceptions of what is right have become false

False therefore are all the fundamental records of mankind about this Earth and about the life upon it, for these human records were formed predominantly under the pressure of the self-seeking intellect, which wished to see in them only its own highest role

At this moment it cannot yet be comprehensible for the greater part of men, when it is spoken of thus beforehand, but there is contained in it the promise of the real liberation of mankind from the yoke of the hitherto grip of the dominion of the rigid intellect, which brought everything it laid hold of upon Earth without the support of a pure spiritual striving towards the Light only to a false distortion of all knowledge about the world, about Creation and about God Himself

Thus at the beginning only in flashes will it come as a surprising, indeed often dismay-bringing recognition of all the places in which untruth and dissimulation settled already thousands of years and centuries ago

In flashes there will also come to men a harshly awakening recognition of how everything up to the present time is built upon the stump of the intellect, instead of everything unfolding out of the core of real life

Pieced together bit by bit it will become for all mankind upon Earth a new knowledge, the knowledge of the Grail, because it will always lead solely and straight upwards to that starting point which is connected with the place of the Primordially Eternal inexhaustible Power of God and of the Word of the Truth

It will be received as an influx of new power by those who through their humility will remain preserved in various places of this planet

It will also become the strongest uniting stream of thought which has not been here upon Earth for whole millennia

Men will flee to this new knowledge, because in it they will recognise a healing power for their inner being and for their body

In the end therefore that approaching breaking of the seal of forgetting will bring only a beneficent ending, which will everywhere bear witness to the great Love of God, which is also co-working in it

At first, however, it will for the greater part be a happening which in its unexpectedness will bring shocks, as it enters the learned consciousness like flashes out of another world

With the greater part of men, however, it will at first begin quite otherwise than with a clear recognition of how things in their existence really unfolded

It will begin with an inward intimation of wrongness and of futility which at that moment will spread out for men above the whole of their life

The inward pressure of an unclear intimation of the squandering of something precious will come precisely at the very beginning of the breaking of the seal of forgetting

It will grow ever stronger and it will not be possible to dull it or to drown it with anything, however much men will strive for that with all their powers by every available intoxicating means

Many men will strive to drown out this sounding of the inner being by strenuously flinging themselves into ever new outward experiences

Everything hitherto tried and proved will, however, fail, and whenever the earthly consciousness of men pauses only for a moment in its forward-flinging experiencing, there will at once come upon them that state which, like an echo, will call within them with a quiet yet unappeasable voice for the awakening out of the sleep of the spirit

And together with that there will come flashes of the past existence of the spiritual spark in man

There will emerge pictures which will bear within them beautiful and blissful scenes recalling the far past of the soul in its youthfulness

And beside these ancient flashes filled with gracious kindliness and beauty, there will emerge for many men also the manifestations of forms of the dark kind, which will claw at them through the threads that will swiftly show themselves as ropes and chains by which the man concerned, through his inclinations and weaknesses, bound himself to these unlovely forms

Thus in individual moments of the day and of the night there will come to light for man's spiritual inner being the state as it really is

The breaking of the seal of forgetting will bring the happening into living experiences, of which it will be possible to be rid only in this way, that with all its inward power the spirit courageously faces it all in the plea for the Light, so that it may be freed and raised upwards, where only that which is beautiful and uplifting is to be found

All the rest that is not able to take this step will be dragged down by the darkness and will perish

This will be fulfilled in nature also, everywhere where the exhaustion is already too great and no renewal is possible

The influx of power out of the Grail will bring the burning away of all that is wrong, so that the new may be born anew

Every man thus stands now before an important inward decision

Either to strive with all his powers towards the Light, or to let himself be dragged beyond that boundary past which the renewal of his soul covering and of his body is no longer possible

The breaking of the seal of forgetting is, despite all the unrest and the pressure which accompany this happening, in reality only a great help of the Light for the awakening of man out of the inward sleep in which he has so long found himself

The flashes which draw near to him bring him in the outcome nothing other than a reminder of the true significance of his existence

All that will be recalled to him in the moments of a peculiar inward state of vibration, all this can be a help to him towards occupying himself with it ever more

Whoever is prepared for it in that he already now knows something of all this can learn very much in it, both with himself and with his fellow men

He can even become a helper and in a certain sense a healer of those human souls which will pass through it unknowingly

Everyone who will experience such a thing he can lead with simple words to this, that the best help in it is now for man the knowledge of the Grail

The Truth out of the heights of the Grail, in whose Light there can at last be found the right recognition of God and the in its essence simple recognition of the Creator's Will and also of His work of Creation which arose out of this Will, of all the loving helps working around man and finally also of … himself

So plainly and simply will the word penetrate to those men who, struck by the happening of the breaking of the seal of recognition, will be torn out of their hitherto sleep and will seek answers to what is happening with them and with the world around them

There is contained in it a great help, if now the words are spoken: “The answers to your questions are brought by the Knowledge about the Grail and the Knowledge of the Grail about Life”

More it is not needful to say, for the radiation of what is spoken will work in man's inner being, and if he bears within him the spark of his spirit still living, then sooner or later there will awaken in him a further request to hear something more out of this knowledge about the Grail

Then the spirit who is ahead is above all to strive to bestow out of himself the living power of his spirit in joy, in kindliness and also with a noble manner

Then he can give the first lectures of the Work of Parzival, the Grail Message, with the words: “Heed not the churches, heed not either all your hitherto recognitions, and only read with open eyes, so that the healing Light of recognition may spread out around you and the helping power of Goodness may bring you to a joyful living”

If he proceeds therein, he will behold around him ever more helps which will bring to himself also ever new recognition about the All-Wisdom of God, which works through the hosts of servants on all the planes of the great work of Creation

This will lead everyone only to an ever greater awakening of joy and to the longing likewise to serve his Creator ever more through the recognition of the Holy Grail

With the beginning of this year there begins a new part of the great working of the Light in this so distant part of the materialities

Here too there is now to stream a refreshing influx of life, so that everything may awaken and be raised to a new and pure life

May as many men as possible upon this Earth join in this happening through their spiritually living and liberating awakening
