The Opening of the Eyes of the Spirit

The present time brings on Earth wholly unique conditions for the opening of the spiritual eyes

It is not, however, a matter of clairvoyance, as might perhaps be supposed when the concept of spiritual eyes is pronounced

What is meant by this is therefore not spiritual sight, nor the ability of clear seeing, which tends to be a great lure for those who are attracted by the extraordinary abilities of other people

It has nothing to do with any kind of exceptionality

Here it is a matter of something quite different

When we speak of the opening of the eyes of the spirit, then first and foremost it is a matter of the opening of intuitive receptivity, and that to an extent hitherto unknown

It means a heightened sensitivity in experiencing everything that belongs to the Harmony of God in Creation

It can also be called a stronger grasping and experiencing of all happenings that lie within the reach of man

The opening of the eyes of the spirit brings a higher capacity for compassion

This is because the spirit, under the influence of the currents of the Light in the universe, demands that even in the earthly covering of the body it be granted expression through a wholly higher degree of compassion than was the case before the opening of the eyes

The spirit is in every man, for it is the fundamental starting point of human existence, and therefore the opening of the eyes is possible for absolutely all people

People can awaken from a long state of inability to perceive intuitively

In a literal awakening from the sleep of the spirit they then suddenly see everywhere that things have been set up wrongly by men and everywhere that, in superficiality and lukewarmness of intuitive perception, injustice and suffering are being formed for other people and for all life

The pure and clear view is very often distorted by man looking at the world around him through dogmatic views which he has adopted by taking over the opinions of others without inquisitiveness and investigation of his own

Thereby, too, there has gradually come about in mankind a complete reversal of the views of the meaning of life, from the original clear one to the present contradictory world in which materialistic understanding stands in first place

The opening of the eyes of the spirit turns receptivity back to the right seeing of connections

Many people speak of it as “opening the heart” or also “looking at the world with the heart”

With the actual organ of the physical heart, however, this has only the connection that in its vicinity lies the cardiac nerve plexus, through which the intuitive perception of man works

Deep experiences of compassion, of joy, but also of pain and grief are connected with the activity of this nerve plexus, which is located in the centre of the chest

It then gives the impression that the source of these strong quiverings in the chest is the heart

In truth, however, it is only a matter of the renewal of receptivity through pure, untroubled intuitive perception, which in a certain sense is, here on Earth, the opened eyes of the spirit

And this is now, in the approaching happening, the greatest demand on each person, that his receptivity through intuitive perception should return to the full value of the human spirit, such as the latter was always meant to have even in the earthly world

Mighty currents roll through the universe, bearing within them an irresistible superiority to bring about that intuitive perception in man can henceforth no longer remain closed

Today, alas, this is not yet so, and the intellect can therefore exert a disintegrating influence on human thinking

But this will change, for the power flying through the spheres awakens everything spiritual

It is a current of great spiritual enlightenment, which will very soon arrive in the life of every earthly man

It will bring a complete transformation of the understanding of everything that has so far been ingrained in a place of the world of thought which at first sight seems immovably anchored

The greater part of all previous thinking will be shaken, so that this thinking may be renewed in a new view through the opened eyes of the spirit

And this will at first cause alarm, for only through the opened eyes of compassion will today's world show itself as a menacingly empty place as regards mercy and the understanding of people in their dealings towards their neighbours

The old world is collapsing more and more with each day, but the new seeing of things that lies in the opening of the eyes of the spirit is as yet coming only so slowly that it is imperceptible to most

The spiritual eyes of people are only just beginning to open

And in this opening of the eyes it is always the bad that is seen first, that is, everything where there is injustice and inadequacy in the fulfilment of pure life

This calls forth an initial indignation

At the next stage there will come the becoming aware of one's own weakness towards evil

Together with this, in the man in whom his inner being is awakening, anger at himself rises up

It is necessary to have compassion and patience with these people, for the next stage is the becoming aware of one's littleness, which gradually leads to the awakening of humility

And only further on, beyond that, will there then come the call for help from a higher power, from God

Today it is still very hard to see a large part of people as a multitude that is to be set free in its awakening of the spirit

This is because we are, in the happening of development, in that part which belongs to the beginning of the awakening

With each day this will change and move further towards the awakening of intuitive perception

Today the intellect and its material direction still predominate, and therefore many people remain without support, for they are accustomed to the outer world first having to draw their attention so that they themselves also move further

Many of them therefore also remain in the belief that if a change is to come, they will be prepared for it by someone whom they acknowledge as one who knows

A large part of people also expect that before any great change in the direction of mankind's development some envoy of the Light must come who, as a proper leader of the masses, will explain everything to them so that they understand it clearly and precisely

There are also still many who in their conceit imagine that in the end it will be they themselves who decide whether mankind sets out on this path or not

It is only a sign of how little men recognise the real power which from time immemorial has determined the direction of development of the work of Creation

This creates a menacing interval of hopeless groping of billions of people

But it is now only a very short time that will bring confusion to people in their learned ways, with which until now they have reached for all the proven procedures for deciding the fate of the Earth

The long part of the history of the Earth so far, filled with the suffering and blood of billions of incarnated souls, is coming to a close

The influx of power brings the demand to fit oneself into the vibrations of a higher kind of harmony, which is necessary in order that a state of further sustainability of mankind on this Earth may come about

Men themselves are not capable of it, for the ways they choose to resolve the difficulties of the earthly world consequently always lead only lower and lower in separating themselves from the Light and harmony

The threads of fate must then bring only further karmic burdens, in which one man after another becomes entangled and is thereby held back on his path of development

In experiencing according to the previous ways of human action there then comes only a new tying of threads, which call for further necessary expiation

Thereby the chain of mankind's fate is forged, which has no end

The way out lies in cutting through this never-ending karmic cycle

The way out depends on the gradual opening of the spiritual eyes, that is, in other words, on the awakening of the capacity for compassion with one's neighbours

Only in such an approach can human volition, thinking and acting attain such an attunement that it succeeds in untying the long-standing threads of fate which work between a large part of people mutually as a hitherto indivisible karmic bond

For the ascent of man the most important thing in this is the ability to forgive and to make amends for everything past that has arisen between people

Up to the present days this understanding, which is the condition for the opening of the eyes of the spirit, was not regarded by people as something important

In reality, however, it is something immensely serious, which binds and thereby holds back billions of souls

So that the ascent of the individual and of the whole of society can come about, it is therefore of the very highest urgency that a beginning be made with an approach that will change the superficial looking at other people into an approach arising from the highest intuitive liveliness of the human spirit

And this will also come as a condition of the further development of mankind in this part of the universe

It may be said that for many people this will be the hardest period of the coming change

In its way it will bring difficulties to every man, because among earthly men each one is in some way marked by Lucifer's sting – mistrust

And mistrust does not act only in the direction from man towards the outer world, but also towards himself

People do not trust themselves

Mistrust of one's own intuitive perceiving is an obstacle which prevents a great number of otherwise good people from freeing themselves from the learned way of acting in the everyday world

As a rule mistrust arises at once wherever the prospect of the better development is to be chosen

Man does not believe in the possibility of a better life on Earth, nor does he even believe that his own life can go by pure ways and nevertheless become of full value, joyful and beautiful

In obedience to the intellect people have learned to expect the worse, for that is how it has been inscribed in their memory through the strong influence of the mindset of the present time

It has woven itself into all thoughts, which believe far more in suffering and pain than in God's blessing

And because they naturally fear these things, people therefore also fear the further development of events

They have taken this over from generation to generation as something self-evident

Everywhere where otherwise the power of conviction in a good outcome, the power of trust in the victory of the better, could be used, there arises instead a warning against the foolishness of such a way of acting, and the worse is expected

Thereby, however, instead of the strengthening of good development, power is supplied for the weaving of the threads of any worse path of development of the life of man and of the whole happening on Earth

Thus the Tempter masterfully slipped in a false direction, which in the end must show itself in the case of human fate under the effect of the Law of Homogeneity, without people knowing anything about it

The expectation of the worse forms the shape of the result, which then arrives under the effect of the Laws of Creation

The threads adapt themselves according to the preconditions of development that are formed by men

With this knowledge, among other things, all the media that influence all the moods of society also work today

These ways of influencing social thinking can also be called a repeated undermining of healthy forces

Instead of the principle of building up, which always works with the expectation of better prospects, a principle has become ingrained in mankind which works in advance with the expectation of the worse

What damage this causes in the world of thought, mankind today does not yet have the slightest idea

The power of compassion with one's neighbours is also undermined thereby, for through the prospect of expecting the worse the belief is fostered in people that they themselves live in want, or that poverty, misery, sickness and war must come to them at any moment

Through what is repeatedly said in the media, the expectation of the majority of people is set

But this is a constant repetition of the same mistakes, whereby ignorance of the Laws of Creation in the end really drives people into misery and war

Mistrust pervades all the thinking of the day

And thereby the perceiving through intuitive perception is paralysed, for intuitive perception always carries within itself a share of pure childlikeness, and thereby of trust

And only from such an attunement of man is the capacity then born for compassion with people who need help and understanding on their path of life

If a hand is held out to help together with the knowledge of the course of the great Laws of Creation, then everything can quickly heal and rally in a new influx of forces

The weaving of one's own threads of fate too will, from the moment of the awakening of intuitive perception and of trust in the All-Wisdom of God, begin to be set differently, and thereby sooner or later more fullness of peace and calm can come in the search for ways out of the most varied human difficulties

In the end ascent will after all come to everyone, if he himself does not further undermine his own path through mistrust and incapacity for compassion with his neighbours and with all creatures in Creation

It is precisely the opening of the eyes of the spirit that offers this change to man as unexpected help in this confused time of the present on Earth

It is therefore fitting here to call out that each one should join in the new looking at the world and at all life contained in this world

The opening of the eyes of the spirit is not only a possibility, but it is a condition established from the heights of the Light for the new direction of development on Earth

Too many centuries have already been squandered by the repeated going astray of mankind without finding the right direction and way out

The present time offers the possibility of fully understanding what meaning human existence on Earth has

The opening of the eyes of the spirit brings this

Looking back, every man must shudder, for in the history recorded to this day the real spiritual gifts slumbering in the inner being of people have never been used to such a degree as should rightly have been the case in accordance with the Will of the Creator

All the more should the will now be strengthened towards forming a wholly different prospect in the direction of everything to come

The weaving of the threads is given to the Alphar, who are true experts in when and under what conditions a turn can be woven into the path of life so that everything may henceforth proceed only along blessed paths

But precisely without the opening of the spiritual eyes people will never catch this grace-filled happening with their intuitive perception, and thereby they are in danger of remaining closed and empty formers of everything bad, according to what anyone slips them to think about

It is time to put an end to these old ways

The opened spiritual eyes now open the view in a new direction

Everything can be changed for the better

Nothing prevents trust in a better path of one's own and in a better development of society from being born and strengthened in the inner being of man

And then it will also come to pass

With God's help it will come, so that it wholly blows away the forms of all the prophets of doom who paint only horrors and hardships for other people

He who has awakened compassion within himself never wishes anything evil to other people

This is something so simple and natural that it is truly a wonder that people do not follow it as one of the most important principles of life

Compassion is moreover present everywhere where spiritual perceiving is enlivened in a pure way in man

And precisely for this it is necessary to open fully the eyes of one's spirit

To strive for this is now the most needful thing for everyone

Therefore upwards and forwards, let everything first and foremost be perceived with the heart

Then the life of the individual and the whole world will change for the better
