The Time of the Whitening of the Raiment
THE WAY OF THE GRAIL – SUPPLEMENTARY TEXTS – September 20, 2021

In the gardens of the roses of the Loving-Kindness of God, which are in the planes of the home of the human spirits, there are woven the threads of luminous help for every one of men who has set out upon the path of the Spirit of Christ
Every one of men who receives into his life all that now comes to him as an opportunity to stand firm in the constancy of his pure volition can in trust connect himself in spirit with the gardens over which, in the purest manner of loving-kindness, there rules the administrator of the roses there out of the Love of God, Rosanea
Through these places in the spiritual Paradise the Spirit of Christ pervades most strongly, and his kind of divine loving-kindly radiation fills all the creatures working here with the most ardent goodness, out of which they spin the threads which, like bright torches of light, penetrate down into the depths of the materialities
The bright rays bear within themselves the presence of a reflection of the Love of God, with which that place in the gardens below Montsalvat has ever been connected, for it formed itself into life as a replica of the Island of Roses lying much higher in Primordial Creation
And it is these rays which are the first to connect with the souls in whom, upon their paths through the materialities, an unquenchable longing for the nearness of the great Love of God awakens
If therefore the inner being is set trembling in the spirit in the strong shock of unexpected pain, or on the contrary in the experiencing of pure joy, then it is precisely through such a moment that the loving-kindly connection with the bright torches opens, which lead the intuitive perception that has gushed forth first upward to the gardens administered by the kindly Rosanea and by her women helpers and men helpers who vibrate in loving-kindly helping
Whole hosts of luminous helpers work downward from these places, which are especially filled with blossoming rose bushes of the most glorious fragrances and colours
Women servants of the feminine kind irradiated by the Light, but also servants of the masculine kind and even spiritually conscious children, all these are the happy inhabitants of these gardens, in which there wafts the fine vibration of blessed help in the spirit of Christ's message for Creation
And just as strongly there is experienced here the connection with Maria, the Rose in the Grail, who as a part of the working of Parzival in Creation is bound up with the unsubstantiate part of the radiation of the Love of God
Thanks to these connections there pours into these places from the heights of the Light a perpetual influx of blessed fulfilling happiness, which at once in the hands of all who are present here is transformed into the common weaving of fine helping threads, which are sent further down into the lower planes and spheres
Happy are the gardens through which Rosanea passes, in order to strengthen and to fortify everything with her light rose radiance, which belongs to her perpetually as her colour, which is inseparable from her kindly smile
The radiance of her perfect spiritual being bears within itself a comeliness and a delicacy of a certain royal kind
The flowing fine garment of her spirit manifests itself in a snow-white shimmer
Her complexion bears a touch of a rose shade, in which however the keen eyes of an observer catch the starting-point out of which there develop below in the materialities the kinds of men who come from the peoples with a darker complexion
Rosanea is in herself the spiritual formation of the prototype towards which all those can develop who deep in the lowlands of the materialities bear within themselves the foundation for the kind of spiritual pure loving-kindness
She bears within herself the fulfilment of the spiritual kind which through her being is perpetually and wholly bound up with the Ray of divine Love in the planes of the spirit
What that means, however, almost no one among earthly men grasps, for they lack for it the most important thing
The whitening of their spiritual raiment in the Blood of the Lamb
This whitening means the becoming luminous of the spirit through the experiencing of the Love of Christ towards one's neighbours in spite of their immaturity, their lack of understanding and their hostility
Through human weaknesses the manifestation of pure loving-kindness in the distant worlds of the materialities is almost always accompanied by persecution and unobjective aggression
The blood of the lamb then means the sealing of the living of love in spite of the enduring self-will of all that is spiritually immature which is in the planes of Subsequent Creation
Without a single vibration of complaining, of anger and also of inner haughtiness the raiment of the spirit needs to be purified and whitened in experiences which only gradually bring the spirit of man nearer to the following of the Spirit of Christ on his path of victory over all evil
Loving-kindness is also never separated from Justice, which is perpetually fulfilled through the Laws of God in Creation
Justice in the hands of such a man is to be a purely objective approach to all that is contained in the Laws of Creation, without the expectation of help to his own advantage and of the attaining of a result singled out by himself
Objectivity, however consistent and strict it may be in its educative effect, can then never lack compassion and the highest endeavour to seek the most right paths to help the surrounding world
This objectivity also demands a degree of trustful co-operation with the animistic servants in Creation
In reality it is they who in the most perfect manner always bring everything to the closing of the circle of all happenings
In the density of the materialities the closing of the circle requires sufficient time for the preparations in which the paths for the fulfilment of Justice in the Law of the high working of God are prepared by the animistic servants, the exalted Alphar
That then requires at every moment an overcoming and a struggle in the life of the man who has entered upon the path which before him the Master, the Envoy of God, already trod here upon earth
Patience and a complete placing of oneself into these Laws is the purest procedure for the whole closing of all that was sown
Men do not observe it rightly, and therefore it escapes them that along this same path as Jesus also Parzival walked in his earthly fulfilment
Many still do not suspect that Parzival precisely through his ways of acting in life showed men the best path for the connecting with the radiation of the gardens of the loving-kindly helps which man needs on his path through Subsequent Creation
Parzival in the earthly world walked a simple path in a strict, yet at the same time kindly expectation of the awakening of the spiritual shimmer in men
However much He Himself is the Judge of everything and of all in the work of Creation appointed by God the Father, His earthly path was an example for all human spirits in His wise considerateness, which He distributed to all creatures around Him
If only men would simply follow the earthly conduct, filled with modesty, of both Sons of God, then they would at once find the connection into the spiritual gardens of the servant Rosanea
For that, however, every man needs to advance in the whitening of his raiment
Noble greatness, purity and objectivity are the foundation for the becoming luminous of the spiritual raiment
That is the path which is to bring the ascent of the spirit upon earth
Therein, however, one man cannot help another in any other way than by his own example
Not even those nearest, who are loved by men already awakened in the spirit, can therein be moved forward against their own will
First there always needs to gush forth in man the spiritual vibration of an all-embracing volition for the good, so that afterwards those helping threads which make ready the path to the Light can begin to descend
Each single step can be surmounted only by a new degree of the becoming luminous of the spiritual raiment
For that there needs to blaze up in the heart the bright shimmer of a longing ascent upward towards the Light by the steps which then lead such a man to an ever greater becoming luminous of his faculties and qualities, which he uses for the strengthening of others
And precisely if man enters upon this path, then the threads woven high in the gardens of the roses can connect with him ever more brightly and more consciously
If only men saw how above every inwardly awakened man there at once descend the helping threads bearing within themselves the influx of strengthening from the gardens of Paradise, then everyone would blush for all the moments in which he felt himself alone, abandoned by the Light to earthly difficulties and cares
Only later, with the detachment which is formed by a certain distance from everything earthly, can the soul more pervaded by the Light then behold how precisely these earthly difficult periods were the most precious in the spiritual freeing of oneself from all past failing
In the case of the humanly spiritual kind there can never be talk of a sacrificing of oneself, as was the case with the Divine, which suffered whenever in its perfection it entered upon the earth, because with men it is always in some way bound up with past paths in which there are always the reasons for the whitening of the spiritual raiment
Even the very greatest sacrifices of men who suffer under the pressure of the harming will of evil are in something bound up with the past, in which either the cause lies in previous conduct, or this path is voluntarily chosen beforehand by the spirit, which is then fulfilled as the fulfilment of a consciously accepted service to the Light
From the spiritual standpoint, however, every pain and every suffering is always balanced by a thousandfold influx of strengthening, which the spirit is permitted fully to receive and to experience only when he enters the planes of a finer kind than this earthly world
The radiance of his spiritual appearance then makes him worthy of reverence for the planes of eternity
Not, however, so that he may savour the esteem on the part of his spiritual kindred, but because he himself may then be an example for the high spiritual fulfilling of the other souls who are only now becoming conscious
The whitening of the spiritual raiment is upon earth accompanied by all that which men precisely long least to experience
A surrender into the service to the Light in the acceptance of all that awaits him on the path of the fulfilment of the spirit
That requires a ripening into a high degree of humanity, and at the same time the spirit also needs for it to hold continually the vista into the heights of the luminous planes
Not perhaps in a conscious connection, but in an inner attunement is this connection to be fulfilled
Only in such a disposition can the special strengthening then join itself which flows down along the threads of loving-kindness from the gardens of the roses below Montsalvat
Rosanea knows of every such servant and in special vibrations mediates to such spirits, who are in Subsequent Creation, extraordinary rays coming directly from the Island of Roses in Primordial Creation
In every such vibration there is then contained also a special blessing of Maria, who, drawing out of the omniscience of Parzival, knows of every pure striving of the conscious spirits who fulfil service to the Light
But she herself also showed the path of the Loving-Kindness of God in the time when she herself walked upon earth, whether as Cassandra in the time of Troy, or as a part of Parzival in the period of the great fulfilling of the promise of God upon earth
Her path through earthly life was each time filled with grief and with difficulties of the most arduous kind
The perfect loving-kindness livingly contained in Maria always had to experience only the lack of understanding of human intrigue and of base desires
How she had to pass through it therein, no one among the human spirits is able to picture to himself
Those who were around her in the time of her earthly being did not, on account of earthly pettinesses, recognise the greatness of the Love of God livingly contained within her, which always pursued, through all the intermediate steps, the high goal of the human spirit – the attaining of the blessed spiritual home in Paradise
Thus men often did not grasp her indications and helps and imagined that it was she who judged the small human matters wrongly
The darkness always seethed up against the Love of God contained within her during her fulfilling paths
through the materialities
It happens so even today from afar through the human lack of understanding which remained written into matter by immature hands
And in the time of the most difficult moments of Maria it was Rosanea who shed her tears of pain over her suffering, whose spirit was to remain forever in the blessed gardens, however much she herself longed to set out into the materialities and to take on the pain for her beloved mistress
In her sensitive inner being she experienced how the evil attacked the Ray of Love out of which she was permitted to arise to conscious being in the glorious gardens of the spiritual world
The tears of Rosanea trickled down into the materialities and brought the distant quiet self-sacrifice of this spiritual servant for the suffering divine Love during the time of its wandering through matter
Like tender vibrations weaving about every moment of the heaviest pain, these tears descended into the nearness of the earth
When Maria returned into the halls of the Grail, then in the fulfilment of her Love she blessed these tears of Rosanea which had trickled into the materialities
And so they are now here for the strengthening of all who experience pain and suffering in the struggle with the wrongs and the injustices on the part of men
These tears of the exalted Rosanea are droplets of hope for everyone who opens himself to them in his longing for the complete whitening of his raiment
In them is contained the strengthening for a great forgiveness of all who caused pain and suffering
How very far it is, however, from the attunement of the majority of men, if someone is permitted to behold it all in a picture of the happenings fulfilling themselves
These tears are, together with the strengthening threads of a comforting kind, a help to everyone who has set out upon the path of the whitening of his raiment, and who therefore also endeavours to act among men against the majority of the established ways
In the diminishing and the setting aside of himself, whenever he seeks true help for his neighbours and when this help of his is the cause of rejection and of hostility, then at once there are here, in proportion to the pure volition to help, the mentioned vibrations coming from Rosanea, which Maria blessed in the Grail
Even today it is possible in connection with these fine currents to experience miracle after miracle, just as it has been preserved in the memory of men only as recollections of the ancient times of past incarnations, when the great stories of the true path of the spirit were still experienced by men in earthly bodies
The vibrations of Love contained in the mentioned tears which Maria blessed have also, in connection with the animistic Herfeline, a great helping healing power
At the gushing forth of a great pure longing of man to help someone else they can be filled with a healing power which, in connection with the Grail, can bring even the miraculous healing of otherwise grave illnesses
That, however, holds good only if the path of the soul is to be led further, to its benefit, into the finer planes
In this direction men still need to make a great step forward in the distinguishing of the individual illnesses
Many illnesses can be removed and dissolved by a change and a fortifying of the radiation which supports the harmony of health of the bodily and also of the soul kind
Yet there are illnesses which are the fulfilment of ancient desires, and in these is contained the essence of the release of the soul from the earthly body for its further development in the planes for which it has ripened
How very unacquainted men are with the real working of the Love of God
It is still very needful that the men of today should endeavour to penetrate through the coverings which precisely now separate almost the whole of mankind from the connection with the other worlds of Creation
When once it is rightly grasped, then the abyss will close which causes so much fear and anxiety to many men
Only then will they recognise how much Love is contained in the leading of the soul along its paths, where the earthly happenings have another significance than that which the limited intellect of today ascribes to them, which directs everything only towards the grasping of results in the coarsest materiality of this earth
Herfeline works healingly not only on the plane of the earthly body, but brings helping forces which heal for men the wounds deeply implanted in their souls
Yet wounds of this kind can close and heal only through the will in the inner being of man which tends towards forgiveness and thereby towards liberation from all that is past
Then the fine coolingly healing radiation can touch those places which until recently still burned and caused a repeated experiencing of unquenchable pain
Thereby much is then released and with the soul covering which is around the spirit of man a becoming luminous at once comes about
Thereby the connections are also released which bound and hindered the spirit in his ascent upward
Much can thus move forward, so that the path to the spiritual home may be free and filled with a new vista of joyful upsurge
So much kindly weaving is around every purely striving man that there is no reason why he should still stumble on his path upward
He also stumbles only through the brake which his thought-world makes for him, which today is still strongly influenced by the convulsive working of the intellect
The inner being would already be tending in the right direction, but the outer world in its earthly disposition forms an obstacle
A thousandfold are the moments when the spirit would wish to act according to his motives of goodness and when the intellect pushes a heavy bolt across before the word or the deed comes outward in this world here
But every small step of the becoming luminous of the spiritual raiment helps towards the predominance of the spirit over the rigid outer world
It is already coming, and the awakening of many will suddenly be the work of a single evening
It will come in the evening and the morning will already have become wholly new
Everything tends towards it and it can no longer be held back
Hosts of men will awaken and it will no longer be possible for intellectual men to force upon them a new paralysis which would once again render the awakened intuitive perception uncertain
The threads inclining towards the earth from the heights of the rose gardens of the Love of God in the spiritual worlds flow to those who are able to open themselves to them in inner becoming luminous
Those who are resolved to whiten their spiritual raiments have now everything needful made ready for it from the Light
He who makes use of it will already at the Festival of the Radiant Star in this year experience a new beginning of his striving towards the Light
Those who do not open themselves will remain aside and their gaze will be directed into the darkness
There is no need to lament over them, for it will all be only the Just fulfilment of their own decision
