Events of upheaval lie now but a short step ahead of us

Under the intensifying pressure of the Light everything is driven towards its living-out with unprecedented speed

Whoever wishes to see it can now behold sudden happenings which show themselves every day ever more distinctly in people exposed to the pressure coming from the Light, which manifests itself almost at once in their decisions and deeds

We stand immediately before the coming of a time of the strangest visible manifestations of many people

This because in the victorious and all-overcoming fulfilment of the animistic servants, who out of the Will of God weave the further development here on earth, everything must now manifest itself and thereby lay bare the very core of its volition for the further direction

The innermost motives of people will be brought outward under the effect of the now swiftly working hands of the weavers of the threads of fate

Therefore already now there are so many tidings all around, which appear as though they were seeking to outrun one another

It goes forward with unprecedented speed

In the end people will not be able to follow it all, as it grows still stronger under the blows of the luminous spears driven into the threads of all happening by the animistic helpers of Hareiars, whose task it now is to shatter everything that still supposes that here, in the density of earthly ramparts of gross materiality, it can entrench itself and hide from the gaze of the Justice of God

Nothing, however, will find a hiding place or rest, but on the contrary it will be dragged up to the surface without sparing by the heightened power out of the Divine, so that it may judge itself by its own nature

Everything will come to light in swift course, whatever in people is good and whatever is evil, whatever is pure and whatever impure

It will now go quickly and will keep on intensifying

It will gradually appear as a great chain of events hastening forward in a headlong, domino-like manner

Thus one happening on one day will call forth a new event that very same day, so that this in turn is immediately drowned out by the further collapse of something that sought to cover over the real nature of human dealings, whereupon a new state at once sets in unexpectedly

And this rumbling and roaring are willed, for in the outcome they are now to bring the complete cleansing of life on this earth, so that it may at last be shown what is in accord with the Purity of God and what is not

In this all the deceptions, the lies and also all the vain, spiteful malice of merely self-centred thinking in the dealings of people, until now skilfully veiled, will finally show themselves in the derangement of these people themselves, as the proof of an already indefensible and half-blind flailing about

It will bring conduct which may truly be likened to a partly blinded animal which, in the presentiment of its end, is already ceasing to have full command of itself

Although a while ago the animal was flawlessly trained, self-assured, and able to perform incredible feats, in the time of its end it becomes in the end once more an unmanageable beast of prey, attacking everything around it blindly

We are near to this time when for a short while it will rage among people, so that in the end it may be fully unmasked as the false way, marked by God, of a basely acting, selfish intellectuality which lacks the greatness of pure spiritual humanity

All of it grows and multiplies, only that in its unmasking it may in the end vanish from this world at the close of its days with unexpected speed

First, however, it will step forth, so that it may show itself as driven by the Light to eternal damnation

All human thinking and dealing which in this direction proves to be far from the purity of unalloyed truthfulness and open honesty will be swept aside

And together with it everything that has joined itself, if only in the smallest part, to the baneful principle of Lucifer in the expectation of advantages flowing from it will be sharply struck by the blows of the animistic warriors, who are now also to work into the threads of all happening here on earth

Everything must be dragged up to the surface, so that it becomes visible and so that it makes itself impossible everywhere where something is deformed, and is thereafter condemned to destruction

That making impossible and that condemnation, however, will belong to no human judgment, but will unfold in the strict manifestation of the effects of the Laws of God

Something such as now stands before us cannot be encompassed by human perception with its sense of justice, because it is something entirely different from all that has hitherto been known to human existence on this earth

In it people will also in the end be incapable of almost any movement of thought, for it will wholly exceed them, much as when out of the distances of the ocean immense waves roll towards the shore

And behind the first wave the second is already flying, and behind this second another and yet another

Everything in people will grow rigid, and at the same time in this motionless rigidity it will be driven onward by a development which exceeds every capacity of decision hitherto

In the intellectual readiness that has proved itself for most people, everything familiar will fail, because it stems only from the old manner of reflection

But precisely because everything hitherto will slip or fail, it will create in many the impression that everything has entirely escaped the dominion of human volition

That, however, will only seem so, for the will to a pure volition filled with kindliness of the human spirit will remain to all those who hold within themselves the fervent capacity for seeking the way to the Light and to harmony

This way will remain open; indeed, in this very same happening it will be continually strengthened towards a greater certainty and trust in the rightness of the further development

And so those people who bear in their volition the attunement of good and of the fullness of peace will be able to go on calling into life happenings which bear within them sacrifice for others and help towards a higher meaning of life on earth

But this very thing is unfortunately for the greater part of mankind on earth something remote, because it is bound up with a certain surrender of oneself for the Light

That is a great difficulty, because as people we no longer know anything of the kind to any great degree today

And many are therefore uncertain within themselves, because they are not able to grasp a surrender to something higher which has no counterweight in an immediate material reward, while others even hold it to be directly harmful, because their intellect assures them that it is a yielding to non-existent ideals, or perhaps even to an alien will concealed in words that speak of the Light and of God

That in this very thing there shows itself the state of each individual person, bearing witness either to his spiritual soaring or to his complete incapacity to grasp anything higher, of that people are not aware

But precisely that placing of oneself into the vibrations of good is what can still save many a human spirit from crashing down into the threads of damnation

It is as when through all ages the Light gave itself, through its envoys, for this world, so that it should not have to fall

In the same way many a person is now to prove himself capable of overcoming his weaknesses and of standing in a pure and kindly approach to life and to his fellow men, even though the outer world around him is collapsing

At the same time a spirit thus standing is never alone, but has about him a multitude of helps which, at the first sign of inner courage, would mediate to him all the help needed for victory over himself and over the outer world

All this, after all, also lies now in the effects of the Power of God

Whoever therefore stands with certainty in vibrating together with the Truth is connected with that higher power which bestows joy upon him and also forms around him a protective circle that will withstand all the waves rolling over the rest of mankind

Nevertheless there is much wavering in it all, because there is in it the endeavour to see a support in the outer world

In the collapsing old, the new thus rises through individual, inwardly pure people who have set out upon the way towards luminous values, while at the same time most of them still seek it in vain in the outer world

It is sought in vain precisely because the people of the majority of society seek their support outside themselves

Although inwardly they already sense that their own rescue needs to proceed solely and only from themselves, in that they cleave without reserve to the well-wishing of life of which their intuitive perception speaks to them, many still expect that this liberation and rescue will come about from without

For such people much must therefore still collapse in the happening already taking place, so that from it they may recognise that everything outward to which they clung could not grant them rescue for their spiritual essence, which can be saved solely from within themselves

But in this recognising, despite all the experiencing bitter as wormwood which is in it an inseparable accompanying condition for the awakening of the spirit, all people today are nevertheless surrounded by an unprecedentedly obliging streaming of the Light, which flows down to them from the heights of the Grail through Maria

Never on this earth and in the space of the whole world part of Ephesus were there so many helping luminous hands ready to raise up everyone who but stretches out his hands towards them in the full trust of his spirit, as there are now in this time of great events and upheaving changes

Never was the earth so mightily surrounded by the living activity of all the helpers as it is today

They cannot help, however, until the awakening of the human inner being takes place

Such is the command of God the Father, which is fulfilled by the Ray of Parzival down to the smallest gradation of all the sifting of spiritual life

Therefore whole multitudes in the time of the confusion coming upon the earth

consider themselves forsaken by the Light and by God

And forsaken by the Light they indeed are, because now a condition has been laid down by God's command upon all earthly mankind, that people must first awaken in their perceiving and swing themselves up to the level of a living perception of Creation through their intuitive perception, so that in their volition there shall prevail above all else only an all-embracing will to good and pure dealings

The condition is now the complete awakening of the spiritual inner being, which shows itself in a fully accepted responsibility for the whole of one's being on all the planes into which one's volition reaches

Every single person is now placed before this condition – to awaken and to become a conscious inhabitant of Creation

There is an end to all the attempts at substitute, invented goals of human life, for which people have hitherto reached with the excuse that other people told them what to do, and that therefore they did so

Now begins here the time in which only the fully conscious responsibility of the human spirit for all its volition will stand the test

Everything else is exposed to the pressure of the Light working against it, which will in no case give way, not even to the despairing cries of those who expect indulgence in it merely so that they need not awaken out of the lukewarmness with which they have hitherto sought to fly through their lives

This condition cannot be overstepped by any help out of the Light, even if all the religious communities established on earth hitherto, which have until now sought to create the impression that they can arrange something with God on behalf of others, were to be shattered upon it

The time of the lukewarm in all the churches has also reached its end, and all need to awaken with the utmost haste if they do not wish to collapse together with everything old

It is precisely everything old that is forsaken by the luminous helps, which perhaps some time ago could still work in it in a sustaining waiting of the souls for the Judgment of God

The Judgment, however, is here, and thereby all the working of the helpers has ended, because only that which is awakened in itself can stand the test

All inertia, as people were accustomed to it out of the past, has come to an end

Hence so much inner uncertainty and rootlessness in people who are already beginning to collapse within themselves, because in their presentiment of the further prospect their intellect sees only the end of its hitherto existing time of influence on earth

Mankind is truly forsaken by the Light in all its old ways of life, and no one can alter this, neither with money nor with the power of weapons

Dragged up to the surface, so that it may be shown in its barrenness, is that old, learned conduct of all those who made Lucifer's principle of temptation their own and under its effect subjugated this world of earthly men

And because the greatest part of the present-day world of men is built upon this principle of temptation and upon an outwardly skilfully masked oppression, deprivation of freedom and enslavement of one's fellow men, everything that stands upon this principle must in its manifestation show itself visibly and painfully bitterly for all who were dependent upon it, so that it may thereafter collapse under the pressure of the Light and crumble into dust

For all this happening mankind is forsaken and will be granted no help, because that would only be a nourishing of the further continuation of Lucifer's baneful principle of temptation

But at the same time, alongside this, the Light is now present, in order in unprecedented graciousness to help all pure striving for creative activity and for the building up of a new life on earth

to all who long to fit themselves into a harmonious vibrating together with the Laws of God

This happening goes its ways and is more and more visible with every day

That a great part of mankind does not see it, and that they are not even aware at all that they find themselves in the Holy Judgment of God, does not mean that this Judgment is not here for them, but only that they themselves, through the paralysis of their inner receptivity, recognise nothing of it

Hence that contradiction, if you ask people whether they see anything of it and they, shaking their heads, maintain that everything is really quite in order

They will indeed admit that strange things are happening in an unusually swift succession, but they will never be willing to admit that this has anything to do with a higher happening out of the Light taking place above this earth

In their degree of receptivity it seems to them that nothing so very strange is happening after all, and least of all that anything higher, anything beyond the earth, should be taking place

That, however, only bears witness that these people are asleep, that their spirit is entirely paralysed in its intuitive perceiving

Therefore earthly people as a whole can never be a measure for judging what is really happening

In their paralysis the greatest part of mankind will never even recognise that they are already being drawn directly into a happening which will soon swallow them up entirely, so as in the Justice of God to direct them far away from any further being in all the luminous parts of Creation

Mankind, because it is itself a part of these manifestations of its own desperate spiritual state, will until the very last moments recognise nothing of the fact that it is plunging downward

If therefore pictures are described of the fulfilment of the grave manifestations of the Judgment of God over mankind, it cannot at the same time be expected that this will be received by mankind as a whole

In this very thing lies one grave part of that great fulfilment of the Judgment

“You who have open eyes, look, and you who have open ears, listen well”

Such is the call of the helpers out of the Light

No one, however, will be forced in this to awaken

There are indeed people plainly to be seen who will not awaken even if Parzival Himself stood before them as God's appointed Judge and spoke to them with the voice of the thundering bell of God for their awakening

For such people this time is an age in which they will miss everything needful for their further being

They will never see the effects of the Power of God in this time, just as they would not have seen them at any other time in earlier ages, when the Envoys of God were present here directly in an earthly body

Even if it all stood beside them, they would sense nothing of it, because their inner being has grown dull to everything that is a real and spiritually living happening

Nor is it worth struggling for such people against their own will, with which they wish to remain blind and deaf

All strength is to be devoted to those who are awakening and who seek a new meaning for their being on this earth

It is to these alone that the Light now inclines in this time, because it is they who are not to be forsaken in this age

To all these people there comes an opening of sight, so that they may observe the follies of those who have become vassals of their own intellectual manner of reflection and therefore do not hesitate to act so harmfully that their fellow-feeling with their fellow men is entirely buried

The awakened are in this to behold with every new day the horror of the result to which that turning away of the human world from the pure and inwardly living way of awakened intuitive perceiving has led, a way which throughout all time was shown out of the Light so that people should walk it and so that their life could become a true fulfilment of God's gift of their conscious being

For those who in their awakening are still able to turn away from this way, along which the majority of mankind strides ever more swiftly into ruin and self-destruction, for them there will be able to unfold, out of the help of the Light, ever more vision of all knowledge of Creation and of all its beneficent inhabitants working in a common weaving upon the great harmony

Peace and joyful hope are to flow into the inner being of all people awakened in spirit, for they are the ones whom the Creator wishes to have on this earth henceforth also

The protection of the Light therefore hovers over every person who walks in his conscious living of the Laws of Creation ever more clearly and purely through all the hours of the day

Only courage and patience with what must now manifest itself and what must therefore still come to visibility on this earth, however much it in itself, in its visible manifestations, arouses ugliness and revulsion even to loathing

Never, however, is it to awaken apprehension or even fear in a pure person, because all of it is held by the animistic weavers under the strict Law of Homogeneity

Now therefore all readers know why it is so, why this time must for a certain while become one great procession of evil and filth, for otherwise it cannot unfold

The long-lasting spiritual state of mankind's diseased sleep on earth brings it to manifestations which must discharge themselves in the most varied forms, which will appear to many as impossible and self-contradictory, while to inwardly more living people it will appear incomprehensible that so many people see nothing essential in it

It is needful to accept it, because nothing else can be done with it than, through one's own pure and knowing conduct in this present happening, to work magnetically upon all those who are awakening

But because a great part of mankind cannot be awakened in the present setting of their thinking, all of it must then go on for some time yet as it is now

The inner struggle with it all, however, only strengthens every healthy human spirit living in intuitive perception, and thereby benefits it

There are no people here on earth in this time in order to enjoy only pleasures and an easy life, but they are here so that they may ripen in all their experiencing

In the threads there are brought to everyone so many opportunities for progress and ascent that nothing is in its essence empty and useless, if only it can make the right imprint of spiritual experiencing in a person's inner being

And that is truly present in everything that comes

We are here in the material world for the inner strengthening, the becoming luminous and the uplifting of our spirit

This means that we are to work inwardly and outwardly in those conditions which are around us, in such a way that with ourselves we always uphold our own value

And that is so much, so very much, that if a person rightly understands it and acts accordingly under all circumstances, he may be led of himself by the Light, so that through his own struggle he at the same time helps others

Therefore nothing should be a cause for lamenting, complaining and wailing over what is happening

Nothing happens without a cause, neither in the great nor in the very smallest

The Wisdom of God leads all creatures all-embracingly and full of meaning, and therein lovingly beyond all human comprehension, from one opportunity for awakening and ascent to the next, so that this should be a lasting cause for pure and humble thanks from each of us

However much the happening of today may appear as a development going in the wrong direction, everyone should know that he himself has a part in it with every vibration of his inner being, with every one of his thoughts and with his deeds

That should lead only to greater hope and to enthusiasm, because through our spiritual powers we can at every moment grant this world harmony and peace, and thereby also a way out towards a new future of the better world that is to come

What through ourselves we can influence towards a greater kindliness and towards spiritual becoming luminous is at once turned to account in the best manner by the weavers of our threads

On the scales of world happening even the smallest volition of one person has in all this a directly enormous weight and influence

May all bear this in mind in this grave time on earth, when the effects of the Power of God penetrate into everything in the world of men, so that it may all be strengthened and judged by the fruit that springs from it
