Those Whose Home Is Marked With the Light

THE WAY OF THE GRAIL – SUPPLEMENTARY TEXTS – January 9, 2023

Czech original: Ti, Kteří Mají Domov Označený Světlem · cesta-gralu.cz

Above the faded speeches of leaders with their promising greetings to the people of their nations on Earth, there hovers from the first hours of the new year a gloomy unrest in the expectation of all that is to come

In the subconscious of every living creature that intimation has now grown strong again, that the time has come when everything which has endured here for whole millennia is to become something forever past

Through the spheres there resounds the call:

“The old is collapsing, to clear the way for the new!”

“The turning point has already been passed, and now it will begin to show itself more and more!”

“Awaken, that you may not sleep through in your spirit the daybreak of the new age on Earth!”

Indeed, so it is, and it is perceptible also to an ever greater number of people

It is as though everything already bore the imprint of a change which is as yet invisible, and yet already almost tangible and unceasingly whispering of a new world that is drawing near

It sounds through all of nature, it forces its way to the Earth together with the morning rays of the Sun, and it drives onward with the currents of the wind in the great clouds

It also reveals itself in the flickering of the stars in the clear night sky, to proclaim a new beginning to all readers of the stars

In every particle of matter there now sounds a vibration which quietly announces the approach of something new

It is the promise of a new world which will soon be born in happenings of an unprecedented kind

The intimation of these approaching happenings leads precisely in human beings to that unrest which disturbs all their accustomed experiencing

It changes their receptivity and brings about a state in which nothing seems to remain such as it was but a short while ago

It changes tastes and scents, it changes the currents of the air and the loudness of sounds, and those who have already become somewhat more receptive may now behold it ever more distinctly and in part also experience it

And all this is brought about by the Holy Light of God, which has spread out from the direction of the east as a glowing golden radiance above the whole horizon

It is the Will of God that has advanced a further degree in its penetration into gross matter

The weaving of all that is animistic is again strengthened by the influx of the Light which drew near to the Earth at the Festival of the Rose and brought the confirmation of the promise of the approaching Star

Together with this there have entered into the very nearness of men the condensed threads of fate, which will bring the accelerated release of all that is past

This is the vibration which surrounds everyone and grants many no rest

Yet although it is already so strongly perceptible and ever more evident, in spite of all that is happening, there is still on Earth a great part of humanity which in its day-consciousness does not believe that anything will come about, that anything will come to bring the confirmation of some higher power working above mankind

The deafness of the everyday intellectual attitude towards all that is finer and concerns the inner being of man has already advanced so far that for many it is quite impossible to grasp anything of it with greater distinctness

Even those people who have some awareness of this long-announced turning of the ages, that is, of the new time which will come after the fulfilment of the great Judgment, even they for the most part remain lukewarm, or remain stuck in a strange conditional waiting

And this only because it does not take on for them forms they can acknowledge, forms they would accept as worthy of their conceptions of the working of the Will of God in this gross material world

These people have set up, out of their own conceptions of God's working in gross materiality, conditions by which they themselves will recognise when that fulfilment of the Holy Judgment truly comes about

As soon as it does not visibly strike precisely those people whom they perceive as evil and bad, then in their opinion there can still be no question of any working of the Will of God

Pitiable people, bewildered by the outer world

They do not realise that with this attitude of thought they seek only to enforce their own will, which at the same time, let us hope only unknowingly and in the immaturity of their spirit, they set on a level with the divine Wisdom, which is meanwhile working in circling courses so far-reaching that they must of necessity lie beyond the small human spirit's reach of comprehension of the Justice of God

The perfect Justice of God intervenes in human destinies in circles which lie far above the capacity of the human level to encompass all the happenings that come into consideration in the unravelling of the threads of fate

That this may be more understandable, let it be said here that the Will of God, through the automatically unfolding weaving of the threads of fate, knows every human being with all his paths from the very beginning of the existence of his inner spark

It knows him better than he knows himself, for he himself lacks, for a clearer view, the remembrance of all his own hitherto paths of being

The human spirit is here on Earth bound in a body, and thereby the limits of his comprehension of the happenings are set for him, about which he can nevertheless always decide with his spiritual intuitive perception in the moment of the present

Right deciding through intuitive perception needs to proceed from his whole attitude towards the good

If he strives through his intuitive perception to work for good and harmony wherever he may be, then it suffices him to experience the present, and all else is added automatically out of the Light

Through his pure intuitive perceiving in the moment of the present he can develop and move further onward in his maturity

If he truly wishes to stand rightly in this, then it will fill his whole day and will bestow upon him all the experiences that are the most precious for his spiritual level

Then in this he will experience how he is led and supported out of the Light, without needing to judge the others around him

Filled with joyful humility he becomes aware how his Creator leads him in wisdom along the paths of life better than when he himself steps into these paths with his intellect, which out of its vain nature, instilled in it by the darkness, imagines that it knows everything better

Precisely in this awareness he may rejoice and take delight in small things

He knows that he needs no more than what is just now granted him, because with all that he may command in his life he strives with all his strength to weave all his days harmoniously for the Light

Although he is aware how small a portion of knowledge about all life in Creation may as yet fall to him, he goes forward every day courageously and purely

He knows that in truth he knows almost nothing, but his spiritual inner being, in the intimation of the glorious promise of the full knowledge that will be granted him, burns with joyful longing for the nearness of the Truth of God

He knows how limited are his views of the great weaving of God, and this makes him more and more humble, listening and perceiving with his inner being

For all his striving he yet finds himself all too often in mists whenever he must admit whether he really knows anything about himself and about other people

What then is that small human perceiving of the brief working of individual human lives on Earth, set against the all-embracing scope at work in the supreme Justice of God

The Will of God does not govern itself merely by a brief judging of earthly happenings, so as to intervene and to punish according to the deliberations and wishes of men

But people do not see it, for they do not want to see it

Thus from the human point of view many a happening appears to lack the effects of the Justice of God towards what is understood by people on Earth as evil and bad, for it often has its grounds millennia back in the past of those who take part in the happening in question

Beside the individual human paths through Subsequent Creation, the threads of the destinies of whole nations must now also return in accelerated fashion

Yet it proceeds in sequence, one after another, and we are only at the beginning of the accelerated effects of the happening

At the same time the free will of the human spirit also remains in force here, although its range is ever more shortened by the effect of the returning threads from the Alphar

And all this together now forms a world in which most happenings appear at first glance confusing, and it is also perceived in simplified fashion by many people as lacking the effect of a Higher Justice

But if someone rightly beholds the running threads, then he can never for a moment doubt the perfection of God's order, which works and acts therein unceasingly under the watch of the faithful animistic weavers

Yet in spite of this people lament, seeing only what is bad all around them, and expect that God is to intervene and with one stroke to set everything right in the way that would please their conceptions of this world

Often it is precisely those who have no clear knowledge even of themselves and no clarity within about the origin of their own motives and desires, as their ways of acting bear witness

Yet at the same time they suppose themselves entitled to judge rightly how the Justice of God ought to look in the case of other people, whom they themselves judge without hesitation by the sharpest measure

They imagine that they see with sharpness and clarity how everything ought rightly to be here on Earth

Why did they not act so sharply when they themselves stood in past lives in positions which likewise then influenced the lives of the fellow men of that time, and in which not seldom they themselves brought it about that the human world on Earth sank only deeper into the depths of darkness

Why do they not observe themselves just as sharply in the moments when they decide how they will approach those nearest to them in everyday life

They accuse those who are now more visible and who influence much of the present happening in human society on Earth, although they themselves were often the ones who through their earthly lives in the past brought about slavery for other people

Today people accuse their supposed oppressors who have just swung themselves up to a higher standing in society, without anyone realising that in his own way every human being has, in the course of his existence, already stood more than once in a position where he himself had a certain influence upon the life of his fellow men

And not seldom it is precisely these formerly ruling people who today regard themselves as robbed of freedom and oppressed

Will no one then come to the recognition of how the threads of fate work in this

Therefore Jesus said to men, love your neighbours as yourselves

In that alone lies the gradual laying aside of all threads and the liberation from the bonds of the darkness for all mankind on this Earth

For whole millennia small wars and great have run through one another on Earth, and out of them threads of pain have been woven between nations and between individual people

Now all this is condensing, and therefore everything must gradually come to discharge and to be lived out

In reality, however, there are no enemies among men themselves, but there is only one single enemy

The Antichrist and the darkness, whose instrument for all human raging lies in intellectualism and also in the multiplying of all base wishes and cravings in the instincts

If people free themselves from this, then the whole world will become more friendly

In the first place, therefore, man needs to be freed from this one real enemy of the Light and of Life, from the Antichrist

Whoever longs to help himself and mankind is not to behold the evil in people, but only in their common enslaver, in the Antichrist, and through him in the insufficient enlightenment of the spirit, whose cause is the rank overgrowth of the intellect and also the spiritual lukewarmness of whole multitudes

We stand precisely in the time of this unravelling and laying aside of all threads

In the fine weaving of the Alphar it shows itself at every moment everywhere on Earth

It is therefore a great summons to every single human being to rouse himself to true liberation through his own spiritual awakening and ascent by ennoblement and by becoming luminous

Towards this goal it is also directed, and it is pressed forward as a mounting pressure which comes through the work of the animistic servants in all the places of their activity

But people stand wholly uncomprehending before that fine unravelling of the threads which takes place through the work of the Alphar, who therein lead with great skill all the fine radiations among men into participation in experiencing

A great part of all the happenings takes place thereby on the plane of the fine spiritual level, in whose existence the Light has from all time found the most fundamental part of everything essential for the human spirit, and thus also for earthly men

For everyone can indeed perceive it in himself, how important his own conscience is

The greatest part of a genuine transformation always begins first in the outwardly invisible deciding and willing

From this there often arise the most important woven threads, which are carefully led by the weavers from the past through the present into the future

Unlike earthly people, who with their intellectual knowledge of the world, which came to them from the Antichrist, have clung solely to the outward happening in gross materiality and look upon all that is visible as the centre of all happening in the Judgment, the Light itself rescues the inner being of men for its promise of a possible eternal existence

Why is this great shift in thinking, and thereby also in the approach to the whole life of man on Earth, still not here at last

Those who know should call to mind that in exactly the same way, by their approach bound only to the outward happening, the disciples and pupils of Jesus already made harder the earthly path of their Master, when they judged his deeds chiefly by their learned manner of thinking that waded about in pettiness

And likewise people did not grasp, and still do not grasp, many an indication of the Son of Man when he dwelt among them in order to bring them the Word of Truth in helping knowledge about the course of the work of Creation from the vantage of the heights of the Grail

Now it would come about in exactly the same way if the Divine were present here on Earth in an earthly body

Why do people not take just a little more trouble to strive to consider all the things around them otherwise than as it offers itself to them at once in the first picture of the learned manner of thinking

They could already have convinced themselves more than a thousand times that their suppositions and conceptions, which at the beginning of their deliberations about this or that matter they held to be unshakeably right, proved in the end to be entirely wrong, indeed to run directly counter to the true nature of the matter

If only people were willing to learn in their living approach to life, then their own inner wisdom would in many cases already form an inner warning for them, that they should not again and again think superficially and in a rigid manner of reasoning

Out of such an approach there could arise for them only a new value in the perceiving of the world around them

They would learn to see beyond the outer rim of the material visible world, and that would necessarily bring them greater strengthening for their intuitive perceiving

They would learn to understand things not only in their outward but also in their inward confluence of threads

Thus there would surely enter into their lives a higher receptivity for all that remains outwardly unspoken, and for that which outwardly seems not to happen at all, but which is in reality the strongest moving lever for the true life of inner spiritual development in others and in themselves

It would teach them to grasp life more on that plane where it holds good that the most precious thing the human spirit can give into life is the harmony and the fullness of peace of the spiritual spark, bound up with a living and pure creativeness of whatever is of benefit and strengthening for the work of Creation

In this respect everything is then wholly equal, whether one man does earthly great things while another, in proportion to his powers and possibilities, is the director of far smaller deeds, provided both approaches are lived out wholly in the purest volition for the Good and the Light of the world, for then the Will of God does not look first of all for outward differences in this, but for those conditions of volition within

By the threads of the Vaenen there is guarded the purity, the genuineness and the inner devotion to unselfishness of help in what a man longs to do, in what he thinks, and in what in the end he also outwardly does in the material world

What comes of it outwardly is always only a transmitter into outward matter, and today the intellect too takes part in this with its wiles, which weaken many a good endeavour and in the end may even make it impossible

People with a developed intellect, however outwardly active and successful they may be in matter, carry with them onward into their existence out of each of their deeds precisely those threads which testify first of all in the Judgment of God to the aliveness of their spirit

And precisely today there is fulfilling itself in the threads among all people a happening which unfolds its effects first and foremost out of their inner attitude

All people are now in this as in the antechamber of a great mill

Many are already in this mill, and their threads of fate are therefore strained to breaking point

Whether by their standing in society they be great or on the contrary quite small, the threads of all people are exposed to the crushing effects of the stones revolving in the mill of the Judgment of God, and what is at stake in it is the further being or non-being of every spiritual spark

That nothing greater of this is yet outwardly visible is a grace which holds good for all

For within, much can still be turned to good, and the spirit can at the last moment still turn again in its experiencing towards the Light

But if the happening were to pass swiftly outward, then for many people fate would close with a dreadful, annihilating swiftness according to the Justice of God

Yet beside Justice there works also the Love of God, and it mediates opportunity right up to the last moment of man's spiritual struggle

Those who call for the visible working of the Judgment of God over this Earth should at the same moment remember not only all those who in their view are to be condemned and destroyed by God's judgment, but also those whom they love and for whom they would wish God's grace and consideration

They should think of themselves as well, for their inner state ought surely to be already wholly filled with peacefulness, with equanimity and also with that fullness of peace of which the words of Jesus in the Beatitudes speak

Is everything then so finished in themselves that nothing from the past threads can strike them any more, that they call so loudly for the fulfilment of the Holy Judgment of God upon all

So very far from true wisdom is all present-day reasoning about God and his work

But that is only a part of humanity, which knows something of God and strives to acknowledge him in his determining primacy over all else

Many other people meanwhile do not even suspect today that something is happening which they themselves have never yet sought, because it escaped their superficial perceiving of life

Thus the greatest part of humanity rejects any notion that they find themselves in the work of God, in Creation, of which they are an inseparable part

Their conception of the world is built upon an outward seeing of the world, and thereby they hold everything else to be non-existent

In spite of all this, all people are now exposed to the effects which come from the hands of the animistic weaving, which, guided by the Wisdom of God, pays no regard to the narrowed capacities of receptivity of millions of people on Earth

The weaving goes its own courses and enters into the lives of all people

And these people become downright irritated if there is so much as talk of something higher that lies above their capacity of comprehension

Their inner tension becomes ever more painful for them and leads even to a flaring up of anger in their inner rebellion, which shows itself in the rejection of everything that speaks of the supreme need for the fullness of peace among men

Then there bursts from them the long pent-up cry: “How am I to be full of peace when there is so much that is bad all around!”

It is like the release of a pressure held back until now, which upon the crossing of a limit is released into the surroundings

Yet this is not the cry of an evil man, but not seldom only the cry of the inner being of a despairing spirit which has quite lost itself in the conditions of today's world, distorted by the long-lasting working of the darkness through the intellect and through all the basenesses of human volition

The confusion of the world of thought has brought about the contradictoriness of many opinions about everything that takes place on Earth

It lacerates the inner being of men as a last trial of the darkness, which longs at the very last moment still to drag them into a whirl of wrath and anger, in which the spirit only entangles itself the more in the threads of its own woven fate

This is not to be granted to the tempters, who hurl themselves like ravening Harpies and Furies upon the inflamed inner beings of men

In answer there is to be borne a fullness of peace filled with trust, which holds the wisdom of the knowledge that the Will of God now leads all the paths of the human threads to fulfilment through the working of the animistic servants

Though it should resound again and again above men as the cry of righteous wrath which with feverish combativeness demands its rights on Earth, the answer to it is always and again to be only the fullness of peace and the peacefulness of those who long to stand faithfully in connection with the Light

The fullness of peace is the fundamental attitude which is to permeate all the intuitive perceiving and thinking of those who long for the Kingdom of God on Earth

The fullness of peace is now that victorious power of the spirit, for only the fullness of peace can now work together as a healing balm upon all the pains and afflictions of today's world of men on this Earth

The fullness of peace is also an inseparable part of all transmitting of the knowledge of the Grail Message

Where this attunement of the fullness of peace is lacking, or where under the influence of the happenings it is perhaps lost in a man at the last moment, there that blessed power of the Light at once flows away again upward and leaves the man alone in his attunement of agitation and wrath

This lawful happening also needs to be rightly understood

The fullness of peace is not softness, nor pliant defencelessness in submitting to the ill wishes of other people

The fullness of peace is always inseparably bound with a pure objectivity, in which it is possible to stand honourably and directly, in a noble manner, against all wrong conduct of people who by their conduct may be far from the good

The fullness of peace means indeed to stand calmly in harmony and in certainty beneath the influx of the Light, and purely, objectively, without any need of aggression and without the will to overpower others into adopting an attitude other than the one they hold

The fullness of peace does not therefore mean to give up defence and to accept evil as an unchangeable condition of the world

On the contrary, the fullness of peace will always automatically seek ways of harmony for all moments among men, and that at the price of refusing to take part in unobjective or perhaps even evil conduct towards one's fellow men

Such a fullness of peace may then receive strengthening and help from the animistic servant of Valhalla, Haetheiné, and also from all the spiritual helpers of man

The condition for this is an inner, peaceful experiencing, filled with trust, of everything that comes to a man

Thus precisely now this radiation is of the highest importance for man for the connection with the Light, which can then protect him himself and also his earthly home

Everything is first of all radiation, which by its nature governs all else

The radiation of the fullness of peace makes possible today for every human spirit a connection with an unprecedented power of a high spiritual and animistic kind

In everything more Light is to stream, and will also stream

More Light is drawing near to the Earth with undreamt-of swiftness through the local planes of gross matter in the hermetis

Whoever longs to stand rightly in this will now seek for his conduct only those ways which lastingly make possible for him the connection with the Light, in which the Wisdom of God and Justice always take part

For his home every one of those people who carries within himself the will to the fullness of peace may set the marking of the year's date completed with the cross within the circle

This is because it is to be a reminder to himself and to his fellow men that he and his dwelling here on Earth serve the Lord through their inner fullness of peace

There is something great in this, bound up with that marking, which will also come sooner or later among men as tidings that on Earth a connection with the Light is possible, which guards those faithful to it and helps them, if only they hold within themselves inner peace and the living will to be true human beings

However insignificant this marking of the home may appear, insignificant it is not, for it breaks open paths for many human spirits if it is held lastingly in aliveness

It is far more than thousands of promises from people who no longer have any power over the destinies of others, nor over their own destiny

Only he who through his inner being is connected with the Light can and shall mark his home with the sign of the symbol of the Light

Let each do so according to his free will, for there is to be nothing contrived in it

Everything is now to be one living happening which permeates all that a man does

If he wishes with all his genuineness that there may now be more Light on Earth, then the foundation for it is his own attunement of the fullness of peace

And as a visible sign of this striving he may at this time set above the entrance door of his home the mark of the year's date with the symbol of the Light, with the equal-armed Cross within the circle

It is a visible avowal of man to the great luminous happening on Earth

This happening will now bring much blessing to everyone who is alive in it and works ardently in accord with the Light

And in the outcome, blessing also for the life on Earth

It is time to awaken fully in this age of great changes and, through one's inner and outer becoming luminous, to bring to this Earth, by way of a harmoniously ordered life, the helps of the Light for seeking fellow men
