The Gift of the Christmas Season – the Vista of the Coming Spiritual Enlightenment
THE WAY OF THE GRAIL – SUPPLEMENTARY TEXTS – December 22, 2025

Earthly happenings bring ever stronger upheavals in society, reaching into the depths of the majority of human hearts
These tremors will grow for some time yet, up to the degree where everything that has until now held good in the human world as certain and unalterable will collapse under the pressure of mounting events
The collapse will come about because the majority of today's human ordinances, which are enforced in the world of society, stand alas in complete deviation from the Laws of Creation
Under the heightened pressure from the Ray of Parzival there will come a domino fall of precisely the greatest part of the certainties supposed today, which are, however, founded upon narrow rules set up by materially minded men
In its foundations everything will finally collapse that neglects the conditions which for human existence in the work of Creation are set out of the Light
It will no longer endure if on the part of human striving the highest effort in the vitality of intuitive perception is not put into everything with which it occupies itself
Whatever therefore arises out of the cold motives of the calculating intellect will lose the support for its endurance, however much it outwardly fulfils the conditions for holding good in the material world
Agreements made between men for the sake of gain for the intellect, and not in order to support and unfold the human comprehension of the Justice of God and of the Love of God, such agreements will not last and will fall apart
Everywhere where today the important portion of ardent intuitive perceiving in the approach to one's fellow men is lacking, the human work will under the pressure of the Light be broken apart down to its very foundation
Thereby the majority of human designs and aims will of necessity be stricken
Almost absolutely everything in the human world is today done upon the foundations of self-interest, where the appointed goal is attained at the cost of sacrifices inflicted upon soul and spirit
And alas, it penetrates all the thinking and acting of the majority of men today
The aims of the intellect are pursued at the expense of man's intuitive fullness
Even the Words of Jesus were grievously distorted in the pursuit of these aims, so that their fundamental principle should not stand in the way of the aims of men
Everything that happens today is a work not of a longing following of the inspirations of the Light, but of the necessity of achieving a result in the visible material world
That result which looks to the outward form, and not to the whole, that is, above all to the inner accord with the harmony of the work of Creation
Thereby even much originally good volition of men easily becomes self-seeking, if the driving force is the enforcing of some result and the way to attaining this result begins to meet with the diversity of other people
Where then the whip or the sword is reached for, or a calculating cleverness is used so that the result may nevertheless be attained, there the blessing of the Light can never dwell
In the end such a work collapses, because opposition to the All-Wisdom of God spreads around it
In everything the true essence will now be laid bare, so that even just before the collapse it may be shown to those people who are not of evil disposition that the ways of the development willed by the Creator always should have taken, and today all the more are to take, a wholly different direction from the greater part of present-day human striving
Whether it be a matter of the greatest worldwide designs of politicians, or only of the smallest wishes and efforts of individuals in their striving to attain what they desire, everywhere the true essence of the volition will be shown, so that immediately afterwards the upheaval and the collapse of the work may follow
This happening is to come about before new seeds containing precious knowledge about life, out of which a direct blessing for daily life will flow, can arise on a great scale among men
Before that the ground in the human inner being needs to be broken up and made ready for the sowing
And this breaking up will come for the greater part in upheavals
Everything old needs in the coming time to exhaust itself at an accelerated pace, so that thereby not only a renewal of forces may come about, but at the same time so that it may help towards the sifting of all human volition
Good is thereby to become plainly visible, so that it may be clearly distinguishable from all volition of another kind that has turned away from the predestination of God and has become a bearer of evil
So that good may become visible, however, the spark in the spiritual inner being needs to blaze up in man, whereby it is transformed into a bright and shining flame of pure enthusiasm for all-embracing good
Such a spark will then become a magnet for all the blessed streaming that flows to the Earth in order to bring spiritual enlightenment
For an immeasurably long time mankind remained in immobility, laid to spiritual sleep
In a crippling lukewarmness the great predispositions and capacities of many lay slumbering
The preciousness of these capacities is meanwhile beyond all measure
Hidden within them lies the hitherto unrealised beneficent ascent of human society on Earth
Up to the present day no well-meant striving of men who longed for an improvement of life on Earth could unfold rightly
This improvement will be able to come only through a great advance in the knowledge of men, in that in penetrating into the blessed strata of Truth they will be able to recognise the greatness of the All-Wisdom of God
For this penetrating many need to receive a nudge through the experiencing of events which will awaken their spiritual inner being
And therefore this is the utmost moment for the spiritual awakening in which enlightenment will only then dawn
In the enlightenment much will be laid bare, indeed everything that until now remained hidden from men behind a curtain of gross material substance
Suddenly the threads that stretch across whole planes will become visible, so that in them people awakened in spirit may better behold the reasons that often led their earthly steps through inexplicable windings
Many a mask will fall from this or that man who until now did not hesitate to give himself out as a servant of God
The bedecked earthly robes of proud men will fall into the dust and will become as nothing
At the same time, however, the lustre and the beauty of purity will emerge around those who until now never thought that through their simple life on Earth they could be of such value to the Light
Humble people will be led out before the others, so that by their humility they may bear witness to God and to His All-Wisdom working in the work of Creation
For them it will be an unexpected gift, which will emerge for them in the experiencing of the recognition of how false the disposition of the human world until now has been
The greatest part of what is prized today will prove, from the standpoint of the spiritual significance of man's existence, to be wholly incidental, if not directly harmful to the spiritual life
It is already drawing near, and therefore in this Christmas season a little of it may be shown in advance, so that those who strive towards the Light may draw strengthening for themselves out of the vistas of the coming happening
It is therefore a grace-filled gift out of the Light, so that he who in his daily volition does with all his strength as much as he can to preserve his honesty and his nobility of character amid the present ferment of swirling darkness may receive the blessing of the vista of the great liberation that is drawing near
In this gift there is contained the kindly call of the quiet voices of the spiritual helpers:
"You who with all your strength do everything in order to remain upon the path towards the Light, hear that liberation and salvation are drawing near"
In the Light of the Son of God Jesus there already arches down now, in this time before the festival, a radiant band of rescuing help from the heights to all who will not submit to the folly of the crowds and who persevere in their humility before God upon the narrow path leading upwards to the spiritual heights
Help in the form of a soothing and a peaceful stilling may pour into the inner being there where the earthly man lives in the moment of the present as the Words of the Beatitudes of Jesus show him
Whoever goes through life in such a way that he approaches everything that has drawn near to him in a calm and matter-of-fact acceptance, with an intuitive perception filled with regard for his fellow men, may in this time take hold of the helps that flow to him out of the spheres of blissfulness
As the announced spiritual enlightenment draws near to the Earth, there draws near at the same time also the beginning of the Kingdom of God with everything that is contained in it for earthly mankind
For the one this drawing near of the Will of God is a cause of the accelerated collapse of false conceptions, for the other it is the fulfilment of the inward call for a just world of peaceful calm and of active creating
For those who let themselves be carried away by the world of today, the vista into the future is cause for a very uncertain time to come
For those, however, who bear within them a readiness for a life in the full recognition of the spiritual connections of human existence, a great number of gifts is now prepared, in which enlightenment is to be found
And together with the enlightenment of the spiritual kind there is also bound up an enlightenment concerning all the smallest things in the daily working of man
Clarifying recognition will penetrate into the consciousness of inwardly prepared people, bringing calm into all their creating
Gradually the boundaries between the worlds will grow finer, boundaries which until now have separated many a continuation of the threads of fate and have thereby created uncertainty
That which up to the present day was for many a one a ground for belief will become an ever strengthening certainty arising out of the recognition gained
The promise of this recognition is here as a gift for the Christmas festival, which men celebrate among themselves as something new
The present Christmas gift granted to men out of the Light lies in the inner experiencing of the promise that spiritual enlightenment is now not far off, which will become the cause of a decisive change in the hitherto unhappy development of the confusion of human society
The experiencing brings into the inner being an impression of calm and of peace
It heals wounds and makes whole those places in the heart which today are sore from a burden past bearing
The attunement to the promise of liberation for all people who are inwardly receptive is the way to a new rebirth
These days of Christmas may therefore be truly lived through in full hope, in which the sensing of the nearby enlightenment will be found as the golden kernel of everything, and thereby also the understanding of that which today appears confused and thus causes unrest
These days, in the experiencing of calm and peace in one's own inner being alone or together with those close to one, are the necessary preparation for this year's Festival of the Radiant Star
The preparation for this Festival of the Holy Grail is of the highest importance
This is because through the stilling there is to come about in man a greater yieldingness of the soul kind, and thereby a heightened intuitive receptivity to the surrounding world
But also precisely in the experiencing of the Christmas days with those close to him there opens for every man who opens himself rightly, through the awareness of the greatness of the Love of God, the needful channel for attuning himself to the high spiritual concepts which otherwise through the course of the year remain for the majority wholly in the background
Let therefore the coming days of Christmas be for the greatest possible part of mankind on Earth a cause of peace and calm in the joyful expectation of the approaching changes which will come with the coming year 2026
