The Love of God streams to all parts of the work of Creation here
Filling all the planes with a healing radiation that bears within it the great message of God and of His endless help to all creatures who are in need of this help, it descends as an all-healing tiding of the incomprehensible goodness of the Creator
The bearer of the radiation spoken of is the Ray of the Love of God, whose starting-point for the work of Creation lies in the Divine part of the castle of the Grail
The Divine Ray of Love, destined for the help and the rescue of all places that suffer distress, went forth out of the unsubstantiate essence of the Divine All-Wisdom and anchored itself in that part of the Divine realm where the eternal ones dwell, in order to make possible there the forming of the divinely substantiate body of the Son of God
Precisely in the Divine part of the castle of the Grail is that place chosen for the working of the Son of God as the mediator of the Love of God for all Creations, whenever this radiation is needed for the further development of one of the Creations
From there a part of His radiation also inclines downward to the Rose – Mary, who dwells in the place of the halls of the primordially created annexe of the Grail belonging to the work of Creation here
Now, in this period of great changes in the world-part Ephesus in Subsequent Creation, the Ray of the radiation of the Son of God follows the Ray of Parzival down into the finer planes of the materialities, so that in the foretold promise both Divine Envoys may with their radiation complete together the begun work of freeing the life here from the influence of Lucifer's temptation
It is therefore the completion of a happening already begun, which fulfilled itself in the time of the earthly fulfilling of Parzival, in whose earthly covering the radiation of the Holy Spirit Imanuel was at that time also anchored
For the human spirit it is something he needs to accept as a manifestation of the Wisdom of God, together with the fact that up to a certain degree of his maturity he lacks a complete understanding in it
Only in the spiritual home, in Paradise, is something more of this happening above Creation, and also in part within the Creation of which he is an inhabitant, brought nearer to his comprehension
That is because there such a matured spirit is already able to perceive happenings which until then were for him only partial pictures, through which he received everything merely as intimated manifestations of God's great loving-kindness, that until then had entered his path here and there as help and strengthening
Although a great part of the happenings will remain for him in Paradise too, as far as his complete grasping of them with understanding is concerned, merely a portion of the simple outline of the whole mystery of God, the luminous spirits in Paradise may nevertheless experience a many times more knowing degree of participation in this working of God, and thereby may also experience a far stronger degree of genuineness in the adoration of the Maker
But even though here on earth earthman remains, through his insufficient degree of understanding, far from the sparklingly radiant Truth of God, he may nevertheless at least in part recognise how everything that goes forth from the Creator towards His work of Creation is filled with wisdom and loving-kindness, which follows the life of all the inhabitants of the work of Creation in such a way that to each one, in proportion to his liveliness and maturity, something may be brought nearer of that which for the others must for the time being remain veiled in mystery
It is therefore not because God keeps mysteries forever veiled from His creatures, but the creatures themselves bring about, through their measure of liveliness and maturity, how far they remain distant from the transparency of all the degrees of the Truth of God
If therefore men are unable to experience a share in the greatness and the wisdom of all the happening in the work of Creation, it is not because anything of it is denied to them, but it is always only the direct reflection of their own degree of maturity
That is also the answer to why a great part of men on earth remain far from the comprehension of something higher which comes from the spring of primordially eternal Life, which therefore comes out of the radiation of the unsubstantiate God the Father
It is therefore solely and only man himself who makes himself incapable of opening himself to the knowledge of God, and thereby also of drawing nearer to God
Many people in their conceit hold themselves to be so precious that they expect it should be the Creator who is to make Himself more intelligible to them
Even at those times when they stagger through life and, through their ignorance of the meaning of their path, wound themselves and bring upon themselves ever new heavy experiences, they have no will within them to endeavour to know something more of why all this is happening to them
That is that spiritual lukewarmness which for a great part of men is the state they call life
In reality it is only an eking out of existence, without any prospect of a change for the better, for which a fervent entreaty must always first arise in the inner being of man, and also a subsequent awakening to deeds
If on that account they have reproaches, then these they can turn only against themselves, for the reason for the insufficiency of their knowledge of the work of Creation lies only in themselves and in nothing else
The degree of liveliness of the spiritual inner being also, among other things, always corresponds to how fervently and how livingly a man experiences the period in which the happenings bound up with the Radiant Star now draw near in their fulfilment, that Star being the herald of the nearness of the radiation of the Justice of God and of Love
The Love of God is always in the highest degree Just as well, for its working always vibrates in accord with the Will of God
That men should at last rightly grasp, for therein lies for them the complete picture of the Perfection of the Creator, of the Holy God
The human inner being may draw near to the recognition of the Perfection of God only through its own liveliness and mobility
This holds also for all those who walk the path of knowledge briskly on their own account and are therefore not merely repeaters of maxims received from others
The diligence of the spirit shows itself in the ability of intuitive perception, thus in the intuitive perceiving of everything that comes to man
Only his own most living intuitive perceiving of all the thoughts circling about him enables him to advance ever further upward towards the wholeness of knowledge, until at last he attains those views where he inwardly and truly experiences the recognition that the Love of God is inseparable from the Justice of God, and conversely that the Justice of God is at the same time filled with Loving-Kindness
The happening whereby, in the picture, Love stands independently side by side in one Son of God and Justice then in the other Son of God, has for a long time set many spiritually seeking people on earth before a certain question, how something like that can be
With a great part of men many blank spaces remain in this, although outwardly they endeavour to give the impression that they have understood everything and that they have no obscurities in it
Yet in order for the human spirit to grasp it rightly, he needs in living mobility to lay hold of everything important that has already been said about it
The Holy Spirit Imanuel, who bears within Him the Will of God, as also the part of the radiation separated from Him, out of which Parzival arose at the summit of the work of Creation, is the fulfilment of the words “Let there be Light!”
In His radiation there is contained everything for the upbuilding and also for the upholding of all that arose to life out of the radiation of God beyond the boundary of God's realm itself
Imanuel, and in this work of Creation Parzival also, are the Law for all life
In them there is contained all that is needful for the upbuilding and the life of the animistic and of the spiritual species
For the right understanding let us here lay stress upon this, that the radiation in Imanuel and in Parzival is all-embracing, and thus bears within it the animistic as well as the spiritual
Only through this all-embracing radiation could there arise in the work of Creation everything that is necessary for the unfolding and the upbuilding of such a mighty creating, which for human understanding is only with difficulty imaginable
Imanuel bears within Him the radiation out of which those laws were formed to which all life is of necessity subject and subordinated, whether it accepts them or seeks perhaps, through its ignorance or through its volition, to set itself in opposition to them
It is therefore a strictly held and strictly guarded application of the laws upon whose foundations the house of Creation arose and lives
These laws bear within them the directness and the emphasis which the animistic needs for its development and for the creating of all the parts that are formed out of the radiation of the Light
For human spirits too these laws are here set just as beneficially and helpfully for all development in the spiritual regions of the work of Creation, and they hold good also for the ensuing Subsequent Creation
The Laws in Creation, which are upheld by Parzival and strengthened by the influx of power out of the Holy Spirit Imanuel, hold good unchangeably for all the inhabitants of the work of Creation
In the case of the humanly spiritual species on its paths through Subsequent Creation, however, these Laws became ever more crushing for all those who began to stumble under the influence of lukewarmness and of the snares of the tempter, and thereby led unstoppably towards the destruction of their spiritual consciousness
Then God the Father in His wisdom separated from Himself a part bearing within it help and strengthening for the spiritual species in the work of Creation
Out of His unsubstantiality there stepped forth the radiation of Love, which became a formed body of the divinely substantiate species
The Word became flesh – the Son of God
And the divinely substantiate formation of Love – the Son of God, descended beyond the boundary of the divine realm down into the work of Creation, bearing within Him the strengthening for all that mediates anew to the humanly spiritual species the knowledge of the path already almost lost
The Son of God, the Lamb of God, Jesus, descended as far as the earth in order to incarnate in an earthly covering, in which alone He could become knowable to men who had closed themselves too far to all that is higher, and His words comprehensible to them
As a part of His path, the Ray of the Love of God was accompanied to the earth by the Radiant Star of the primordially spiritual species, which was formed in the Castle of the Grail as the announcement of the Graciousness of God
The Son of God, Jesus, was and forever is the formed help of God the Father for all that is spiritual and needs strengthening to attain its true application in the work of Creation
Together with Jesus there also entered into the Laws of Creation working in Subsequent Creation a radiation which pervaded the Law of Reciprocal Action and made possible within it, for all humanly spiritual striving, the possibility of redeeming previous guilt through a symbolic unravelling
The weavers of the threads of fate always receive from the heights an exactly given command as to when they may begin to weave into a man's path of life opportunities for redeeming the past otherwise than through the strict Law of Reciprocal Action, which holds good for those who are turned away from the Light
Men striving for the true knowledge of the Son of God, Jesus, may recognise in this a great part of the Wise Love of God, in which precisely the meaning of the gracious redemption mediated by His coming into Subsequent Creation is to be found
Sins committed against the Holy Spirit, thus opposing the great Harmony that vibrates in the Laws of Creation, must always be redeemed, for this Law will never be changed for the sake of anyone, thus not for the sake of man either
Yet every man who truly strives for good can be helped to redeem all that the hands of the weavers formerly had to spin into the carpet of his life as causing harm and pain, thus everything that brought about an opposition to the Harmony of the work of Creation
That too is the fundamental thing which holds good for the humanly spiritual species in distinction from all that is animistic
The animistic may not, and also cannot, step outside the Laws of Creation or even against them
Should that happen, such an animistic deviation is at once struck by the merciless spear of Hareiars or of one of his helpers
In the case of a fervent striving upward towards the Light and towards God, however, the human spirit may, in distinction from the animistic, redeem much of his former faults and transgressions in many symbolic deeds
That is the gift which was given to all that is spiritual in Creation by God the Father through His Loving-Kindness, by the coming of His Son of God
If men strove with the volition of their spiritual inner being only towards Goodness and towards the Light, then there would enter into their life a helping forgiveness lying in the possibility of redeeming the past, and that in the symbolic manifestation of anything that resembles in kind their previous wrong deeds
The Radiant Star at this time reminds every human being of the Love of God, which did all this for the humanly spiritual species in Subsequent Creation
It should be an immense strengthening for every human being who still hesitates
What more do men expect from their Maker than that He eases for them their erring and stumbling on the path to the spiritual home through the Loving-Kindness woven into everything that surrounds the humanly spiritual species in this Subsequent Creation
And the Radiant Star bears within it the message of the Ray of the Love of God, which is forever bound up with Jesus in the Divine part and with Mary in the primordially created annexe of the work of Creation, the Castle of the Grail
The Love of God streams at this time to the earth in strengthened helping power
It accompanies the Ray of Parzival, which works in the creating and upholding radiation of Imanuel
Together this brings for mankind on earth the demand for the highest inward spiritual movement
At the same time, however, it mediates unprecedented helps to every awakened human spirit
The uplifting attunement at the coming Festival of the Rose, the Festival of the Radiant Star, is also to be in man a promise of his spirit to deeds, in which alone much of what holds him down can be redeemed
The Love of God is a refreshing, vibrating influx of helps granted for good deeds to all inwardly courageous people
It is not destined for weaklings who wait to be raised into the Light without any effort of their own
Neither is it given for the nourishing of self-pity and self-accusation, or merely for the ever renewed barren repetition of monotonous prayers in the pews of temples
Its radiation may manifest itself only in the life of such a man as is resolved to walk ever forward in the longing to learn to do only good for others and for himself
Only to those who learn to recognise the Harmony of the work of Creation through the Laws of God, springing from Imanuel and from Parzival, may forgiveness now be added by the weavers of fate in the possibility of redeeming faults through symbolic forms of happenings and events in their life
All people who believe in the Son of God, Jesus, are to behold in this happening alone that grace of God's redemption of the human spirit from all his sins
The redemption lies in the radiation which the Son of God, Jesus, brought into this part of the universe, so that here too, through His Word of Truth, erring men might receive the assurance that everyone who with trust in the Justice of God does good to his fellow men without claim to reward is bound up with this radiation, and will one day repay even the very last farthing and, set free, will attain the spiritual home in the abiding Light of Primordial Creation
There, with homogeneous blessed creatures, he will be able to live forever in joyful creating and thereby to adore his God and His Sons
Men should at last learn to recognise rightly that radiation which lies in the concept the Love of God
They would quickly recognise in how many places in their conduct they oppose this radiation, although their mouths speak again and again of this Love
The Love of God does not stand outside the Justice of God, but on the contrary sounds in harmony with it in full union
In its loving-kindness it strengthens through the recognition of the way to the complete Harmony, thus to the Will of God, in accord with which every creature needs to act so as not to bring upon itself the subsequent necessity of redeeming faults
If, however, man does err, then it is precisely the Love of God that grants him the possibility of laying aside the threads of his failings through the doing of good for other people and for the whole world, if this volition comes purely out of his inner being
In such an attunement, together with a readiness to do good, let every human being now approach who knows of the Festival of the Radiant Star and longs in its time to adore the Creator
He may be certain that if purity, genuineness and trust in the Justice of God well up out of his inner being, then the Love of God will come to meet him with help in the highest hours of the Festival, through the radiation of Jesus and of Mary
