The Gladdening Streams of Purity
THE WAY OF THE GRAIL – SUPPLEMENTARY TEXTS – September 5, 2020
Czech original: Oblažující Proudy Čistoty · cesta-gralu.cz
Through the spheres there descends the streaming of sacred Purity, wholly filling at this time the halls of the Castle of the Grail upon the highest place of Creation
Incomprehensible is this happening for earthman, for all that in its arising proceeds out of the Light remains far from these places here in the universe of matter
Irmingard mirrors within Herself the original living Power in the Grail, and in this mirroring transforms it into the streaming of radiant Purity
By Parzival's blessing this radiant Purity of Irmingard receives a strengthening for the message which in the festal time of the Festival of the Pure Lily descends into all the planes of Creation
The all-refreshing Radiance of Purity, after it has flashed through the gates of the Castle of the Grail, draws near first to the Gardens of the Island of Lilies in the heights of the Primordial Creation, in order to set vibrating and to strengthen the glowing inner beings of the handmaidens of the Light dwelling there
The handmaidens of these gardens, filled with glistening light, add out of themselves, in bestowing love, to this refreshing radiance of the streams of Purity a fullness of grace for all creatures in Creation who are able to open themselves to the streams that ring in delicacy
Wherever the delicacy of the refreshing ringing of the exalted handmaidens of the Gardens of Lilies may draw near, there at once a harmony rings out which uplifts every inhabitant of Creation who is inwardly open to the refreshing streams of Purity
In the sacred time of the Pure Lily Irmingard Herself also inclines towards the Gardens of Purity, in which at that time whole floods of snow-white blossoms shine resplendent, and in the highest temple of the Island of Lilies there is fulfilled the festival of the most glorious perceiving of the exalted service there
A bliss which heightens itself almost to the loss of consciousness fills the inner beings of the handmaidens working enduringly in the incomprehensible existence of pure service, which rests upon the receiving of the Power of the Light and upon the weaving of it into helping streams which descend further through the planes of Creation
He who catches in his heart but for a moment this picture of pure service, in its whole surrender to the Light, may divine a small part of that which fulfils the exalted happening in the Gardens of Lilies, the Gardens of Purity in the High planes of the Light in the nearness of the Castle of the Grail
What glory lies in the surrender in service to the Light and to God
What bliss is contained therein for every servant in the heights of Creation
Like the breath of a life-giving wafting it penetrates through all
Oh, how far removed is this vibrating in the service of the Light from the earth with its inhabitants, wholly closed to this blissful happening in Creation
And yet there is in every human being a particle of spiritual receptivity for the high experiencing in participation in the exalted streaming of Purity
It suffices only to open and to attune one's inner being
Then the spirit will clearly catch that streaming, cooling freshness which bears within it the power for a bright awakening out of a creeping, weakening sleep
The streams of Purity bear into all the places of Creation the refreshing wafting of the morning dawn which is contained in this vibration
As when the morning sun rises above the snow-covered peaks of the mountains, so does this singular cooling Power, streaming purifyingly through Creation, sparkle with a refreshing gleam
Above all the more delicate receptivity of women is open to the receiving of this streaming, if only women long for such a thing
To long for participation in the delicate union with the streams of Purity, which descend in breaths bearing within them the distant gleam of the blissful, surrendered service to the Light, that is the first condition for the catching of that upliftment which brings the re-finding of the way
Something great and uplifting lies in this catching of the streams of Purity
It is as though only in that moment something were made whole and completed in the inner being of woman which until then had stood empty and could not grant the wholeness for the meaningfulness of her life
It is a kind of radiation which nothing else can replace, no earthly joy, no human being, but only the pictures of the exalted service to Purity and to the Light streaming from the heights, bringing a flood of inner joy and of the uplifting of oneself
This every woman can and should experience, so as thereby to open the treasury of her inner being for the enrichment of herself and of the whole world
The union with these streams of Purity opens a higher faculty of being in woman
The call of the distances of bliss in the primordially created Gardens of the Light is a strong touch towards the awakening upon the spiritual plane in her earthly life
Therefore it is important not to let slip that singular vibration which descends through Creation in the time of these days at the very beginning of the month of September
On September 7 the Festival of the Pure Lily is fulfilled in the whole of Creation
It is an exalted festival, when Irmingard inclines Herself by means of the streaming of the rays of Purity towards all feminine working in Creation
Parzival with His golden mantle protects this radiation and gives it the power to penetrate into all parts of Creation
The great call of Purity descends through the spheres in order to quicken and to strengthen the principle of tender, graceful womanhood, which at this time may form itself, in awakening under the touch of the streaming of Purity, into its highest beauty and harmony
For this, however, the inner being of the women of today upon the earth needs to prepare and to attune itself rightly
It needs to free the delicacy of the feminine inner being from all that is secondary, which stifles this uplifting spiritual inner being and drags it back to the earth
The becoming luminous, the refining, and the laying of one's inmost longing volition into the hands of the luminous women helpers in the spiritual spheres, that is the way of approach to the state of joyful drawing of strength out of the streams of Purity
A becoming still and a halting, be it but for the briefest moment, needs to be experienced in the time of the great streaming of the Purity of God through Creation by every woman who does not wish to remain ungifted by the descending stream of the Pure ringing, in which are contained the petals of lilies and the delicate down descending from the pinions of swans
These pinions touch gently the faces of the women who have opened their inner being and have let the Light enter into their spirit become luminous
Together with them it is possible to hear the glorious tones of distant songs which uplift everyone who is permitted to catch them in his inner hearing
The stream of the Purifying Light descends in a spiritual picture also down to the lowlands of the worlds lying deep in the darkness of the materialities, so that here too the working of woman may arise out of the oppression and the decay, still enduring, which were created by Lucifer
The soiled hands of the fallen archangel once, in far-off times, altered the path of pure womanhood, and out of the original bright and clear steps leading to the Light they made by-ways into the lowlands, in which whole hosts of women went astray and at last, bewildered, sank down in resignation from exhaustion
This direction, however, is now again opened, the way to the uplifting and the liberation of the spirit is once more free
The recognition of this liberation and purification of woman in her exalted task is free and attainable
Purity of the inner being is thereto an important condition
And it is precisely the strengthening for this purification that the streaming bears within it as it descends at the Festival of the Pure Lily also to these far-off places of Creation
A great opportunity, which hitherto has only been passed by and thereby squandered, is to be fulfilled in its use in the full opening of the inner being of woman
The call directed to woman descends now as the herald of the streaming which follows
In good time the inner being is to be prepared, in a freeing from pettinesses, so that in the purest radiance and gracefulness woman may join in the festival of the Pure Lily
Then womanhood will raise itself to its true task here upon the earth, and in its awakening it will mediate also to men the support needful for the ascent of the whole
The whole earthly world cries out for the purification of intuitive perceiving, for the purification of values and of moral principles in the life of men
Without this step the so eagerly awaited ways out of the hardships of today will not appear
Withal everything is in reality simpler than it can possibly seem
In the approaching streams of the refreshing wafting of Purity everyone may now awaken in his inner being who still holds within himself his own liveliness and freedom in independence from the inert and superficial thinking of the multitudes
Let not a single moment be let slip of the precious purifying streaming which draws near to all parts of Creation
Much, very much that is important for the present time is contained in the approaching streaming of gladdening Purity
For everyone there is contained in it that needful thing which he himself needs for his progress and his ascent to the Light
