The Victorious Human Spirit
THE WAY OF THE GRAIL – SUPPLEMENTARY TEXTS – November 1, 2021
Czech original: Vítězný Lidský Duch · cesta-gralu.cz
Above the space of this universe there stretches, as the promise of a great rebirth, the advancing wall of Light which sets free all that vibrates purely in accord with the harmony streaming from the Grail
With every new sunrise the Light draws nearer to the small earth, in order at last to surround it with its power, to permeate everything and to bring a new ordering of life which will lastingly be only in harmony with the whole of the work of Creation of God
By its advance the Light also brings support and strengthening to all who in honest striving now wrestle with the snares of the last vibrations of the darkened intellect
Many an inwardly pure man still undergoes daily, in a desperate wrestling, a thousandfold overcoming of inner contradiction, in order to stand firm before his conscience and at the same time to satisfy the fulfilling of those conditions which here upon earth, in the course of millennia, were created by the callous dominion, estranged from all that is pure and natural, of those who have wholly surrendered themselves to the material intellect
It seems that from all that today influences life upon this earth the understanding for mutual respect and support in the dealings among men has vanished
From the bearing of men, kindness and gentleness have disappeared, no matter what the matter at issue may be in the present social conditions
Into the greatest part of all human activity there has already wholly penetrated superficiality and also a cunning hiding behind regulations which not seldom contradict any sound judgment and above all the Laws of Creation
The present state, however, is just only the bitter culmination of the spiritually empty manner of the existence of men upon this earth
The subordination of the spirit to the intellect, cultivated for millennia, has oppressed all that is of the intuitive perception
Precisely that which makes the human spirit most precious in its dealing has been thrust entirely into the background
No matter whether it was the power of fanatical rulers, of churches, of the dogmas of opinion and of philosophy, men, apart from solitary individuals, always bowed before the influence pressing upon them, regardless of the fact that it demanded of them the denial of their inner intuitive perception
Every time they yielded, in the majority, to the outward influence of earthly power, so as not to expose themselves to possible difficulties
Thereby in whole hosts of spirits upon earth that important inner strength to bear personal responsibility for one's dealing was undermined
By the denying of personal responsibility men in their cunning lowered themselves to making their path through earthly life easier for themselves
All this led to the very verge of the denial of their most precious jewel – the spiritual spark
With many it went so far that they themselves, in the service of the darkness, committed the greatest atrocities upon their fellow men
It is something which appears in countless forms and which again and again brings upon this earth tension among men, disruptions, enmity and hatred
Instead of strengthening and reinforcement towards the victorious ascent of the spirit, the darkness spread out its plans here upon earth in such a way that earthman gradually became ever more undermined in his own spiritual consciousness
But this manner of spiritual brokenness can now be a reality only here upon this gross material earth
Only here upon earth can evil, through certain manifestations of men, temporarily approach its predominance over the principle of good
In the surrounding spheres of the beyond, that is, in the finer degrees of the materialities, all evil is now, with the fulfilment of the coming of the Light, sharply separated from good
And now this fulfilment of the separation of good from evil comes also to this earth in the form of an intensified pressure of the Light, which brings the judgment among all men, that they may prove what their present inner state is
In the spiritual judgment, under the pressure of the approaching wall of Light, there steps forth outwardly in accelerated manner all human superficiality, the unwillingness to feel one's way into the experiencing of another, also callousness, as well as the cunning, self-seeking adroitness in the influencing of one's fellow men
All such dealing is at once condemned by the Light as reprehensible
Any dealing of this kind is marked and cast away into destruction as the gravest evil, arising out of the dark volition of reprehensible souls
From a certain time onwards in God's ordaining of development, evil is no longer distinguished as to whether it is small or great
That is precisely the new thing which enters between the human spirit and its claim to the forbearance of the Light
The Light now sifts and separates all human volition in its very finest impulses
There is no difference between the evil welling up out of the depths of a dark soul which of its own will has wholly voluntarily become corrupt, and that man who merely out of frivolous indolence and superficiality in his approach to life causes harm to other men
Both have become, for the executive fulfilling of the animistic servants, a ground for the judging stroke, for from a certain time onwards it is regarded in the threads woven by the hands of the faithful Vaenen as one single evil
The forbearance towards spiritual maturity in the redeeming of the threads of fate has come to an end
Both the small and the great committing of evil are subjected to the same pressure in the Judgment of God
The intensification of the judgment over men has advanced, and therefore every day, every single moment has now become important in the whole being of man
Loving-kindness is no longer woven into the threads arising out of the volition of men who perhaps some time ago could still expect forgiveness and an easing in the Law of Reciprocal Action, because their undeveloped maturity made this possible
Now every individual stands entirely alike before the returning impact of the effects of his volition
Everywhere where evil is born out of the volition of man without his being compelled to it, there stream to him the intensified judging effects of the strict Justice
Yet it is likewise so also when man is placed by outward circumstances before the decision whether he will conform and carry the effects of evil through his own person further on to other men
Now the measure of his negligence and superficiality in dealing will fall upon each one, just as for the Light there is no difference between the evil manifesting itself visibly and the evil working in the inner being, which is skilfully hidden outwardly by man
Therefore a great call flies to earthly mankind out of the spiritual planes
Over every moment of the human present there now hovers the demand for the highest inner vigilance of the intuitive perception
The demand for an awakening in a pure spiritual participation in life now holds good for every one of men
Even a single hesitation therein can become a fateful turn of the scale in the further weaving of the threads of fate of the human spirit
Where an incapacity for compassion continually shows itself, where there still dwells the endeavour to assert a superior force which is only temporarily entrusted into the hands of the human spirit, there everywhere the weaving of the threads of the Vaenen now works inexorably, for they have now in the command of Parzival not to distinguish small or great evil in the world of men, but solely and only, in the case of callousness, to weave the threads as one and the same evil in all human undertaking
What a consequent harvest must therein come, even a but slightly receptive participant in all human meetings and conversations among the men of today can recognise
The immaturity of the human spirit is no excuse therein, for here it is a matter of that most fundamental thing which is connected with the essence of the humanly spiritual spark – the capacity for compassion and for dealing according to the inner voice
Of this degree of receptivity every human spirit is capable out of the very foundation of its spiritual essence
Therein the capacity for a higher knowledge of the Laws of Creation plays no part, but here it is a matter of the very foundation of the human expression of fellow feeling with the outer world, with other men, and even with the world of nature
Every man now perceives this in his subconsciousness
Therefore we see around us that unprecedented chaos and unrest upon the whole earth
Whoever fails therein cannot expect further patience from the Light, for there is nothing more natural for the human spiritual spark than, in a childlike simple perceiving, to feel compassion with one's fellow men and with all the life of animals and of plants
The naturalness of this receptivity of compassion has many forms, which in their manifestations unfold according to the maturity of the particular spirit
Each one for himself thus needs to prove his capacity to discern genuine intuitive perceiving in his approach to the dealing of his fellow man
Here no outwardly learned procedure holds good which would be valid for all situations and for all men
Only a living inner participation in fellow feeling provides the equipment whereby the human spirit either stands firm or fails
If anyone hesitates as to how he is to conduct himself, then for him the foundation is always to deal simply and reverently with the people who are around us
Evil will then show itself of its own accord, so that by its manifesting it at the same time shows us how we are to conduct ourselves in a natural defence against it
Nor is it for man to place himself in the role of a zealous judge of other men, for his task is under all circumstances to remain purely objective and in the highest degree just in his judgment
If in the given moment man is not able to recognise this rightly, it is better for him to err therein in favour of his fellow man
It is truly better for man to admit to himself that he himself is mistaken and to remain in waiting
Thus it is better in everyday dealing to proceed from this, that the other man whom we meet is striving to stand rightly
This manner is also the only one which can stand firm as an approach to one's fellow men that forms the transition into the new age
It is not naivety, as someone's intellect would at once seek to insinuate to him, but it is a path built upon trust in the Light
To face evil remains nevertheless always possible, for with him who stands in purity there will also swiftly show itself the way to bring in the rays of justice, which would fulfil themselves in an accelerated happening
He needs, however, first to have within himself a pure state of intuitive perception in his inner being
If man is in a living connection with the Light and, through his childlike pure trust, with the Laws of God, then his approach to all the moments of the day forms the possibility for the wondrousness of the effects of the said Laws of the Justice of God to fulfil itself ever more swiftly
The nearness of the Ray of Parzival above the earth will bring this fulfilment into life in effects which even today may appear to man as unrealisable
The condition for this is an inner becoming peaceful and becoming luminous
The peace resting in the inner being of man is the foundation for his victory in the present time upon earth
All the promises of Jesus in the beatitudes now incline towards the earth in order that they may be fulfilled precisely now
For their fulfilment, however, they need to find therefor a prepared soil in the inner being of man
The Justice of God enters into the nearness of the earth in order to bring, in the fulfilment of the accelerated adjustment of the threads of human volition, exactly that as which this volition appears in the Ray of God's judgment over man
Whoever in his life always works in accord with this Justice can now remain in complete peacefulness, for together with the intensified Ray of Parzival there will draw near to him only blessing and strengthening in all the moments when he faces human pressure
The peace in his inner being must, however, form for him the path of a calm gentleness, so that the Light may be able to work through him and at the same time above him for the fulfilment of victory
It is the demand for the whole immersion of one's spirit into a living trust in God's working here upon earth
Any stepping forth in the asserting of one's own conceptions about a concrete fulfilment, before this is made ready by the Light in the given happening, can then in the outcome become an obstacle which frustrates the all-embracing quality of the working of the active hands of God's servants, who come out of the animistic for the fulfilment of the Will of God in the materialities
If the human will in immaturity or in mistrust enters into the sphere of the fulfilling of the Light sooner or otherwise than is needful for the maintaining of the accord of the working forces, then there will never come about in the nearness of man here upon earth that wondrous turning point in the happening which had already been made ready for fulfilment
The victory of human volition cannot arise out of itself, but solely out of the connection with the higher kind of forces which are to be found around every inwardly opened and pure man
Therein it is needful to advance yet further towards an inner trust of the childlike kind
Precisely in healing, every man who strives for the nearness of Maria's help out of the Loving-Kindness of God, resting now in the near dwelling of the Ray of Parzival above this earth, needs likewise to advance both inwardly and in his thinking
Only such an attunement forms the conditions for happenings of a higher kind, which can fulfil themselves precisely in the present time for the awakening of many who will become witnesses of the working of the Light among men
Thereby a multitude of men will be able to be awakened who otherwise would not be able out of themselves to swing up to that level from which, in such an experiencing, new strengthening and support towards a new path can come to them from their spiritual helpers
Hitherto there has been much hesitation therein on the part of many who know, for we are far too greatly absorbed by matter and by its forms, which in the hands of many men appear insurmountable
In reality it is only a temporary attunement which holds these forms in operation, so that precisely many inwardly weak and superficial men may keep for themselves the power which in their hands brings ever new guilt both to themselves and to all those who have joined them
Yet the awakening of many can come, for the power of the Light in that working which may now fulfil itself through spirits rightly and purely prepared in their inner being will call forth wondrous effects upon many hitherto sleeping men who will be led to the given experiencing
But the happening leading to the victory of the Light upon earth will fulfil itself only if the vessels of our inner being, made ready by the spiritual helpers, are filled with the living water out of the Holy Spirit
What this means, upon that everyone must now ponder to whom these words speak with a clear sound towards his rebirth
Pure and clear the inner being needs to be, so that the high vibration of the helping forces filled with Light may be permitted to abide in the nearness of man
Pure and clear the thoughts need to be, which are never to bear within them forms of volition for the harming, the defiling and the humiliating of one's fellow men, so that the promise of the Light for victory in all the moments of the life of man may be permitted to be fulfilled
Free-minded and inwardly radiating kindness is the spirit to be which has come to help the Light upon this earth
When he then meets with adversity which will set itself in the path of the pure and free-minded greatness of his spirit, then let him remain in peacefulness and say to the other man who would perhaps hinder him in his path:
“Are you then so far from your own conscience that you cannot discern that with all my strength I strive to work peaceably and justly in accord with the Light, with good and with peace?”
Freely and distinctly are the words to resound, so that in the following of them there may then be permitted to come a working of a higher kind in the fulfilment of the luminous happening
And this fulfilment will in some way surely come about and will make ready the path forward, without, however, at the same time causing a single vibration of injustice on the part of the one who speaks towards other men
Here, however, an important condition holds good for the uttering of the words
In the inner being of such a man there must not be found even the smallest volition to misuse this power to his own advantage, for the fulfilment of his wish or for the attaining of some personal aim, but solely for defence
The fervour of the words is also to attest that the spirit is aware of the presence of the working forces, which in the present time must not and also cannot be misused for the fulfilling of one's own wishes at the cost of other men
These words are not to be used for a ruthless breaking through of one's way, for then the power contained in the words would turn with twofold strength of judging effect against him who uttered them
Where, however, they resound in pure harmony with a childlike fervent trust in the help contained in the words, there they will surely bring an ordering of the way in a manner which the human mind would never have formed of itself
It will then be solely and only the effect of the animistic or spiritual fulfilling hands, which in accord with the Wisdom of God will order the ways for the finding of a way out of every situation upon this earth
It will thus bring victory to the spirit, for in the working of the forces there is always and only contained that which is of benefit primarily to those spiritually concerned, but also earthly, because pure spiritual volition must in the end manifest itself also in the earthly covering of the matter here
Men who strive for the Light in their life are surrounded by many helps, only the power of these helps cannot enter visibly into their nearness, because they themselves, by their narrowed conceptions, hinder its manifestation, which so often takes an entirely different course than men think in their forms
It is needful therein to bear peacefulness and quiet in the inner being, which alone makes possible the fulfilment of the effects of the helping forces, which always pursue the spiritual benefit in the given experiencing of all concerned
This is so very new that, without the need of certain experiences, not even the spiritually best of men will grasp it
But they can draw inwardly nearer to it by the intuitive perceiving of the pictures out of the past, thanks to which it is after all made possible for them to see in everything the working of the Light, in the way those paths fulfilled themselves which stood in direct connection with the Will of God
Only to approach it livingly again and again, so that the spirit may rightly ripen in the pictures and be able therein to find for itself that needful trust, humility and purity which alone equip the human spirit for its real victory in the Subsequent Creation
Without effort there is no moving forward
Whoever thinks that he has already recognised everything and has rightly added it to his view of the world only exposes himself to the danger that superficiality and mechanicalness will again enter into his dealing with his fellow men, the greatest snares these for the indolence of the spirit in its ever needful living intuitive perceiving
With the highest earnestness and with the most living mobility in the intuitive perception is man to step up to everything that enters his path, however much he supposes that he has already experienced it a thousand times and that he knows with certainty how to think and to act in the given moment
Never is anything the same, and always there is contained for the spirit in everything something new which brings it the possibility of advancing forward in its maturity and wisdom
Blessed are they who thus make use of every moment of their blessed being upon this earth
They will become the real victors, for their talent will be multiplied into countless treasures which will await them when, after the departure from this world, they enter the planes more filled with Light
Man, be living and vigilant in every moment of your passing through this world, for therein is contained the true blessing, whether you pass through peaceful times or through a time filled with storms and with difficulties of the most varied kind
By whatever outward happenings your life may be led, it rests solely and only with you to pass through everything not only unburdened by any guilt, but to be gifted by all the experiences always towards a greater becoming luminous of your inner being
Great in spirit man is not from the beginning, he becomes great only through the wisdom with which he experiences his path through the Subsequent Creation, in order to return to his home in Paradise
