The whole work of Creation vibrates in joyful extolling of the Creator

All life arose in this kind of joyful vibration, out of which there gradually formed thereafter the shapes of all the self-conscious inhabitants of the work of Creation

And joy permeates everything that creates in luminous accord with the whole of the work of Creation

The motives of all the inhabitants in the planes of the Light are led by the great wish to create unceasingly the highest accord in harmony with the others and together with them to extol the Maker, the Creator of all the worlds

A part of the harmony of the work of Creation is thus the happiness and the joy of all creatures, springing again and again from the conscious participation in the living flowing of the happening in the work of Creation

So it is in the luminous planes, which vibrate fully in the great harmony that penetrates all happening as a manifestation of the Will of God

The Will of God in its manifestations always calls forth only creative accord – harmony, and this harmony, which arises and penetrates among the creatures in their common striving, is therefore the fulfilling of the Will of God

Harmony in Creation bears within itself the imprint of the presence of the Will of God

This is that great message which lies hidden for everyone in the knowledge given to people on this Earth in the concept, as yet not entirely rightly understood, of “the Will of God”

Everything in Creation that creates and weaves in consonance for the fulfilling of the joyful bubbling and murmuring in the animistic, as likewise in the pure forming of exalted prayer in the creative fulfilling of the virtues, which belongs to all that is spiritual, all of it, provided that joy, the fullness of peace and purity are at the same time its starting motives, is already in itself a part of the flowing of life out of the Will of God

So plain and simple is it, as indeed is everything in this glorious work of Creation

Many people on this Earth seek laboriously for ways to dig their way into the Word of Truth of the Son of God, Jesus, and thereby to change themselves and the world for the better

They suppose that they have grasped the Words, but their outward conduct, which lacks the capacity for compassion and also the will to joyful creativeness, bears witness that their spirit is still hungry in the recognition of the Will of God and that it has not been filled with the greatness of participation in the blessedness of the vibrations of the harmony of life in the Light

Many people who know the Holy Word of the Son of Man strive with all their strength to find at last the certainty of how to walk rightly in consonance with the Will of God, and thereby to take part in the victory of the Light on this Earth

They research into individual words and sentences, which yet have their quickening meaning only in the wholeness of the experiencing of the Truth brought from the heights of the Grail

In this research, therefore, the most precious thing runs all too often through their fingers, namely that true and real liberation of their spirit from the dominion of the enduring, ponderous forms of life

They research and immerse themselves in words, seeking the wonder in their written letter, while all of it slumbers within themselves, waiting for the call to the deed, which will appear at once if only they let a pure fullness of peace step forth out of themselves, and with it a creative joy experienced in the moment of the present together with the rest of the life of the work of Creation

This attunement alone, calling within for the upward flight of the spirit towards the Light, when a flash of pure joy comes alive in a man, brings him far closer to accord with the Will of God than all feverish or gloomy brooding, all fearfulness, self-torment and self-accusation, which strangely enough are here on Earth held by people in many places to be a sign of spiritual progress and thus a way of drawing near to the Light and to God

Yet it is a great delusion bringing nothing other than new brooding flowing from it and the suffering that arises from that

Away with all that paralyses the human spirit in his pure and fully valid sharing in the harmony of the work of Creation

Away at last with all the ballast of thought which presses in, so as by its constricting grip, through the distrust of everything more luminous that is so strongly present today, to stifle in man all childlike joyful volition

The unsurveyable ballast of thought attacks every experiencing of hope and of living faith in the victory of the Light, even everywhere where a pure will is present in man

The forms of thought attack man and his faith in all that is higher and more luminous

In the repetition of leaden, oppressive words, that the darkness is stronger than man, that man is subject to the superior force of others and that he can change nothing alone, many a soul withers away, a soul often gifted with great dispositions brought along for a pure and glorious path to the Light

The spirit within man needs only that the Light should enter freely into his nature for the victorious quickening of a complete trust in the help and the strengthening of the Creator and of his great Laws

To everyone who in life strives purely and honestly for the ascent of himself and of his surroundings,

this attunement alone, this flash of brightness and of hope, suffices to break in a man the hitherto curse of a wavering distrust in the rightness of the path to the Light

The inner conviction that when the spirit does anything out of his best knowledge and strives by his being to harm no creature will at once give him the courage that his spiritual nature can strive upward with ever greater ease

Then there will swiftly come a trustful, joyful ascent leading upward to the spiritual home, instead of the enduring, tormenting imprisonment of oneself in the far reaches of the mists of wandering, out of which comes only forgetfulness of all that is more luminous, brighter and more joyful

Man is therefore not to perceive himself as a lonely and lost victim in a bad place of this world, but is always and under all circumstances to regard himself, in his joyful strength, as a self-conscious spiritual inhabitant of the work of Creation

However much man is here on Earth bound up with a temporary name, with his descent by birth, with the place of his life here and with all the surroundings about him, he is at the same time in his spirit a lasting inhabitant of the great work of Creation, which surrounds him and strengthens him through thousands of helping hands bending down to him from the luminous planes

Thus people fear the world into which they are temporarily immersed, fearing that the ordering of conditions here devours them and rules over them

Yet it is only a delusion which they took over unwittingly and cheaply from other people

They have let this false view of their life be forced upon them, whereas in it the higher and thus lastingly victorious power is their own pure volition for the good, which shines out flame-like from their inner being

The human spirit is not to let a deceptive picture be forced upon him, a picture created long ago by those who wished to have their fellow men here on Earth only as slaves serving them

For all too long this world was shaped by many malevolent ones who, under the cloak of the development and progress of world history, served in the end always only the dark principle of temptation

For their own interests they did not shrink from deceiving their fellow men, from ruling over them and from forcing upon them their own conceptions of the unchangeability of the established manner of life in this world

These forms strive to hold before man's eyes a picture of his smallness and insignificance in the face of all those who exalt themselves above him as seemingly stronger and mightier in earthly terms

Yet this is only a delusion, it is a false picture distorting the real glory and translucence of the Work of God

It is a skilful game of the darkness, which through the course of the ages has already made uncertain whole immeasurable multitudes of broken and enslaved people who were in themselves pure

Although they were not themselves turned towards evil within, these foolish people let themselves be made uncertain in their own intuitive perceiving and thereby lost the path upward, which gradually receded from them because of the distrust in the Creator and in his Just Laws working in Creation, a distrust unceasingly fed by the darkness

The human spirit, however, has the strength to raise himself above the material world, and by his kind he is able at any time to soar upward above all that is base and not good, in order to draw strength into himself in the liberating experience of trust in the Light

He can do so whenever he himself only strives for it in earnest

No one other than he himself decides his path through Creation, if in his pure and genuine striving he hastens upward into the Light, into the nearness of God's protection resting in the Justice and the Kindliness of the Holy Will of God the Creator

Whole multitudes are even today not able to find within themselves the strength to free themselves from the claws of the attitude of thought which creates in them the impression that they themselves can achieve little here on Earth

They do not find the strength within themselves only because they have not let their spirit soar freely closer to the Light, to God

And yet everything around man here on Earth whispers and also loudly proclaims the Will of God, which permeates all things

The Will of God stands above all human doings, bringing strengthening and support where there is a living striving for upbuilding

For this there now flows the ever-renewed power from the Grail

Whoever opens himself to this power with a pure heart and with trust, and lives his life in its luminous streaming, presses on always only to victory over everything that would burden him on his path to a lasting accord with the harmony of the work of Creation

It pours down here to this Earth from the heights as an influx of new power with every new day, when in the daybreak of the east the sun rises above the horizon, it sounds in the songs of all the creatures of nature who gratefully receive this power of the animistic kind from Valhalla, and full of hope it also vibrates in all the guidance and strengthening of the spiritual helpers, who walk with man as connectors granted him by God in the direction upward, to the spiritual planes in Creation

Away, therefore, with every disintegrating view of thought about this world and about the whole work of Creation, and even about the Creator, the Holy God himself, in the supposition that a small, single human being can achieve nothing in it

In the thoughts of men there has settled, through the insinuation of the darkness, a distrust in the individual's own spiritual power

This power, if it vibrates in a pure and courageous avowal to the Light, opens channels of an undreamt-of kind for homogeneous helps which can draw near to man and bring him a way out for every moment of his existence

The power that can flow to him thereby dissolves everything dark within him and around him and raises all inner volition and also outward conduct to the level of a genuine existence containing greatness and exaltedness, these two necessary basic conditions for a spiritually self-conscious life already here on this Earth

And such God also wishes to have human spirits in their earthly bodies, for that is only the fulfilling of the path which through all the helpers was marked out by the Will of God for the human kind in the work of Subsequent Creation

To grow towards fullness and towards an exalted, virtuous being, that is the path which for every human spirit is an archetype descending from the Grail, just as for all animistic weaving living archetypes descend from Valhalla

In this there is contained an inner and an outer strength which is at the same time never severed from compassion with others

On the contrary, in compassion this strength grows still further and gains in efficacy, if it is used in the sense of the words of Jesus which show the greatness of man in his making himself small before others everywhere where the all-permeating Harmony expects it of him

The greatness of man becomes luminous in the glow of his maturity and wisdom, attained in the recognition of where he himself can be co-active and thereby a co-creator of concord with other people and creatures for a higher goal, both spiritual and earthly

The strength of recognition gained in this leads him to a voluntary exchange with others who are equally mature and thereby spiritually strong, so that to this an even higher blessing from the heights of the Light may then be added

God wishes to have on Earth pure and joyful human spirits who with every day become stronger in their spiritual perceiving and in their intuitive perception of the smallest gradations of the harmony of the whole

The path to this stands lastingly open, and to step out upon it rests solely with every single human spirit

Then everything base and inferior will swiftly be blown away, if people set themselves to this task on this Earth originally prepared for them by the Light

Inferiority, baseness and also all evil and darkness will be blown away from this Earth with the participation of those who are on Earth and have been able to turn in the right direction of their development

Not, perhaps, because the evil would be destroyed and rooted out by the power of the Light with a single stroke in spite of its tenacious will to persist lastingly in what is base and impure, but because through the strengthening of the influx from the Light there will come an awakening of all who are more open, and through the effect of the Laws of Creation the world of men will come in natural development to an ascent and a transformation towards a purer life

It will come about through the co-operation of all people alive in spirit and awakened

And for this awakening great multitudes are not necessarily needed at the beginning, but above all inwardly, spiritually strong people

Such people as have turned within themselves the hitherto attitude ingrained on Earth and who by their kind do not succumb to the outer world, but freely radiate outward the power of their spiritual light into their surroundings

The conviction of this will give them the certainty of victory

If in such participation genuineness and perseverance are always present in them, then everything will surely come to change in the lawful happening

Through the happening out of the Light everything is already made ready for the great renewal of life on Earth, and only the link between the spheres of the ethereal planes and the plane of the gross material world, which rests upon the earthly fulfilment by the people called to it by the Light, needs to be brought to that connecting awareness

Everything rests in the plainness and simplicity of the individual human being vibrating together with the great harmony of the work of Creation

In this lies that victory hitherto sought in vain, which unfolds from the conditional participation of earthly people

Yet it is not a victory that would proceed from the hitherto conceptions of men that every victory must be preceded by a fight

Fighting is here not desirable for human spirits, but on the contrary is always weakening for all the activity now expected by the Light from earthly people, and indeed it seriously disturbs all the happening prepared beforehand out of the Light for this Earth

The concept of fighting in this respect is to be recast in human thinking into “the setting of all one's powers to the pure building of an upbuilding blessed by the Light on Earth”

That is the true essence of the concept of “fighting” in connection with the human spiritual kind in Creation

In it there is contained every protection for the highest inward treasures which come to man in the knowledge of the work of Creation

In this new understanding of the concept of fighting there is also contained the condition of the highest inner nobility of character of the human spirit, which he can attain in the spirit of the words of Christ

Everything leads to the fulfilment of the purest humanity, which begins in intuitive perceiving, passes through the thoughts and reaches man's own outward conduct in the everyday of his existence here on Earth

And in this the hitherto attunement of men needs now to be turned away from occupying themselves with everything base and baleful which still persists and will for a short time yet persist, into a wholly new direction towards a creative intuitive perceiving and thinking that makes ascent possible

There is therefore no need to occupy oneself with so many thoughts directed chiefly at the evil still enduring, but it is now fitting to occupy oneself with thoughts of ascent and of upbuilding everywhere where this can be realised already at this moment

Hitherto this was denied to most people, because they were not aware of their own inner strength resting within, which must take part in it as a co-creative spearhead forming the way from the old into the new

People have not yet recognised the precious nature of their inner being and its capacities, whereby in opening themselves to the Light they can draw a quickening attunement from the heights

Instead, as was insinuated to them by other people as the right procedure, they for the most part derived, and today derive still more, their moods from the way the surrounding events on Earth affect them

Yet the true strength of a spiritual kind lies not in the dependence of one's attunement upon the outer world, but in the radiating of one's own free spiritual power, bound in a pure channel with the Light, which penetrates through them outward into the surrounding world here on Earth

The Light brings an uplifting blessedness whenever man in the right attunement longs for it

It brings refreshing in the form of a draught of the reviving breath of the heights which await man

At the same time the intuitive perceiving in man is at once refined for the recognition of all that is worthy of being gifted with the strengthening power of his spirit, which itself was gifted by the Light

Receptivity will become compassion, kindliness and understanding of all suffering in openness towards one's fellow men everywhere where the Light expects it of man as a part of the building up of the new life on Earth

In this everyone is now to practise who longs to take part on Earth in the new upbuilding which is already drawing near

To see with his own eyes all that already now vibrates in the right accord with the harmony containing the Will of God

And of such places there are very many

They are everywhere in the space around man, wherever the glance of his eyes may fall, in the fine realm and in gross materiality itself

Everything rests in a childlike pure creativeness which permeates among people, waiting for the right use in the moment of the present

Such a use, which the Light expects from spiritual co-operation, will then penetrate outward through man in an enthusiasm for building and creative thoughts seeking a healthy application for life on Earth

Every activity therein worked through by the spirit is immeasurably precious in several respects, and in its forming of prospects for creating it builds and at the same time brings the spirit a strengthening of his own inner capacities

As with every healthy exercise of the earthly mastery of the body certainty and strengthening come gradually, so too in the spiritual use of the creative power of the Light for exalted and blessed goals the inner capability grows in the spirit of man towards maturity and wisdom in his accord with the whole of the work of Creation

It then leads him ever more, again and again, to the forming of joyfully creative intuitive perceptions, of thoughts and finally also of deeds for others or for the whole surrounding world

Far behind him will remain the superficiality and inferiority which constricted him through the influence of the outer world

Man becomes strong and self-conscious within himself, and every motive of his, every deed of his then bears witness to the greatness of his spirit, who strides forward in an ever clearer recognition of the true mission of the task of the human spiritual kind in Creation

True ascent therefore lies not in fighting and struggling with what is inferior and has submitted to the darkness, but lies in creative upbuilding everywhere where the thoughts and deeds of inwardly more luminous people can hasten to help

In this there is set the blessed power of the Will of God now flowing to the Earth through the nearness of the Ray of Parzival

Only to recognise this rightly and with courage and joyful conviction to bear every second of one's life in living fashion

Everything else is made ready for it, so that it may open for men the path to victory in an unheard-of, indeed miraculous way

Against the bared teeth of the darkness there is to be set the strength of the spirit in his pure conviction of the outcome which is already coming

No form of evil which strives to swell upward, like a growing, all-dominating demon, is to call forth any tremor of fear, but only to sharpen the sword of conviction about the victory of the Light coming from the Ray of Parzival to this part of the universe

You who long to stand in the Light, never again let yourselves be robbed of freedom by an attitude of thought which forms in man the false supposition of his own weakness and of his inability to set himself against evil and darkness

The strength of every bright human spirit who vibrates in pure accord with Creation surpasses everything on this Earth that has wilfully torn itself away from the entire Harmony and is thus far from the blessing of the Will of God streaming through the great Work of the Creator

The hitherto dominating supremacy of the darkness over men, which rested in the setting up of a false picture of the world of thought, in which for centuries and millennia multitudes of gentle and good-natured souls were drowning, is at an end

This hitherto enduring state of supremacy of the creatures which create in the attitude of thought the impression of dominion over men is with each further day torn down and broken into pieces by the Light, and that through the hosts of animistic warriors sent out for it from Valhalla

The power of evil and of the darkness is at an end

With every day that great change draws nearer to the world of men, bringing the prospect of a new life for all that is in accord with the harmony of the work of Creation

The more people awaken and recognise it, the more swiftly the conditions on this Earth will change as well

There will come the liberation of many human souls who remained motionless in it for a long time as in a heavy dream

The upbuilding through these liberated ones will bring the knowledge of the Truth

In the new upbuilding all that is inferior and base will gradually flow away

A new age arches above mankind, which yet does not recognise it, because they cling too much to the old world of thought, which appears to them as unconquerable

Therefore people still fear and are afraid

Because they are not sufficiently awakened within themselves, nor strong in their trust in the work of Creation and in the Will of God ruling within it

But it is already drawing near

The influx of the Light rolls down from above, and into the seemingly threatening world of the darkness there flies one luminous spear after another

Free yourselves therefore now, you who are on Earth, that you may no longer feel weak and uncertain, now that your spirit may fully unite with the living happening which brings ennoblement for all life on Earth

In your spirit you are incomparably more precious as inhabitants of the work of Creation who in their spirit belong to the Light than you still appear outwardly today to other people, as seemingly small and ordinary people on this Earth

Act with conviction and with faith in yourselves through the inner strength of your ennobled spiritual intuitive perceiving, and the world on this Earth will gradually change into a reflection of Paradise

Of that Paradise which awaits you in the heights of the true spiritual home
