Through the material universe there roar forces which descend from the heights to the help of one of the world parts in the Subsequent Creation, where the liberating happening is now fulfilling itself for the spiritual inhabitants dwelling there and for the animistic servants who are bound up with earthly nature
The earth is to be set free, that it may become such as the Light created it in the beginning
The helping forces descend from all the significant places of the radiant transitions to be found in the work of Creation, which may be called the starting points of the helping forces
Thus the Light rolls down towards the materialities out of the Grail itself, through whose effects everything now comes alive, in order thereafter to judge itself within itself by bringing forth the blossoms and the fruits of its volition, which lies in every creature as the necessary expression of the inner being
This pressure is directed towards the earth through the Sword of the Holy Judgment, which Parzival holds in his hand and whose primordially spiritual shrine is wholly permeated by the ray of Imanuel, in which God the Father Himself works into Creation
The advancing Light has drawn near and works in an ever-strengthening effect
In the end nothing can withstand the all-enlivening radiation, for to the divine Light every life must submit, every particle of the universe, every volition, including that which is born in the free will of earthmen
This submitting means either the finding of harmonious accord, or, in the case of persisting discord, lawful destruction and subsequent re-forming in the work of Creation
Everything that has arisen and is still arising, everything that is formed out of the lovingly bestowed Power of God, must pass through the gearing of the Laws of Creation, which in the case of man, as a spiritual inhabitant of Creation, will present him with the account, down to the smallest part, for his administering of free will, that glorious gift which by virtue of his humanly spiritual nature he graciously received from the Creator at the very beginning of his path
Nothing will remain aside, nothing will be passed over
Everything is exposed to this fulfilling happening, which resounds through the universe in the calling of voices announcing the coming of events that may be called the Holy stroke of the sword of the Judgment of God, which brings the dividing line between what is past and must pass away, and that which in liberating awakening will arise as the new pure path of the human spirit
And together with the first inflow of power of the divine kind, containing the effective release of the Judgment, there comes at the same time to the earth in the world part of Ephesus a multitude of helping currents as well, which have their origin with the spiritual servants of Creation and also with the hosts of servants of animistic origin, who now incline towards the earth from the heights of Valhalla
This immense co-operating happening has reached the nearness of the earth and penetrates from all sides into the densest thoughts of men, assails them and at the same time helps through the conscience of all earthmen, who in this have the last great opportunity still to decide in which direction they will bend the volition of their spiritual inner being
Thus the Light, containing within it all that was ever promised to men who in the need of past millennia called fervently for God's saving help, brings the sorting out and at the same time also immediate strengthening to everyone who has amended himself, has been reborn in the spirit, and in this transformation of his strives for a pure ascent to the Light, filled with the liveliest movement
For many a one there now come already, as the forerunner of all the promises, those vibrations which are the preliminary stage fulfilling the longed-for “Kingdom of God on earth”
“The Kingdom of God on earth!”
For many men this concept will remain remote for ever
Yet for a small host it is even now becoming a gradual fulfilment
It can begin to fulfil itself in the nearness of man, if with his inner being he strives for the ascent to a pure and humble existence
Around many a man, working on his behalf, there can thus already in these days be at work helping and protecting currents of power coming from the helpers of the luminous spiritual and animistic levels
A thousandfold threads of blessed helps flow to those who can be found by the judging sword of God to be such as have whitened their raiment and who can therefore be blessed by the Light on their further journey through Creation
The condition for these helps to find the possibility of connection with man is the constant highest living movement of the spirit
In pure movement forward the spirit is to advance courageously in the gaining of true knowledge of Creation and of the Creator
Every day is to become for him one which bestows gifts in an upheaving manner
The spirit must now prove itself through its highest striving in the recognising of the Truth
This demands a complete transformation in the manner of perceiving life
Into all experiencing there is to enter the conscious knowledge of the Truth, so that man may stand firmly in the recognition of the Light and the promised helps may be permitted to flow to him in all his thinking and doing
Only living movement, which does not let itself be fettered by the rigid walls of thought-forms, that movement which testifies to the alertness of the spirit and proceeds from the fervent inner being of man, is, together with the foundation of purity and kindly goodness, the healthy ground on which the blessing of those currents can anchor itself which now descend at the command of God to all who are permitted to belong to the children of the Holy Spirit on earth
For the men already spoken of, permeated by purity, there flow to the earth from the levels of the luminous spiritual weaving helps which are to aid them on their way until the whole earthly happening fulfils itself in the last stroke of God's judging sword
He who inwardly goes into himself, who looks into his conscience and humbly seeks only the pure and fervent volition attuned to the luminous vibrations of the great harmony of the spheres, can now be surrounded by threads which draw near to him, that he may grasp them in joyful use for deeds
He now needs to awaken fully within himself to deeds, for only through his deeds can he confirm the recognition of the great Law of giving and taking, and thus in the natural ripening of his spirit become a helper to many other men who do not yet know of the greatness of the time in which they now find themselves on earth
And only a deed which is ripened in noble expression can become for many earthmen a new recognition which will bring them to awakening
This awakening of those hitherto asleep then rises at once in joy, in the form of thanks, upwards to the Creator, and in the heights it praises in pure joy God's wisdom, which directs the Laws of loving help working throughout the whole work of Creation
If into the life of another man there enters joy in which he recognises God's help and strengthening, then a further initial welling forth of goodness and love is attained in the whole cycle of the flowing forces of the Light
The luminous cycle of blessing among men can now take effect in the jubilant fulfilment of the Laws of Creation
That great blessing, in the newly strengthened inflow of helps from the spiritual and from the animistic servants, then descends within these Laws to him who brought to life the helping deed which awakened others to their enlivening perceiving with the spirit
In all this happening there is now for all who thus work courageously for the Light a thousandfold strengthening of the helps
Whoever works in the spirit and leads his inner volition to visible expression now receives for his courageous striving a thousandfold strengthening from all the helpers who stand around him
Here, however, a great condition holds good, that only a volition of the spirit which is truly pure and untouched by intellectually calculating plans may expect help and strengthening in the multiplying of power in the deed
In his volition and in his deeds the spirit and the heart of man need to be wholly and unconditionally present
Where a calculating expectation arising out of the knowledge of the Laws of Creation is to be found, there the forces will in the end withdraw or even turn against the man working in such a way
There too, where that volition to know better with the intellect prevails, every striving is now already doomed beforehand to failure
Even the finest prospects proceeding from the calculation of intellectual reasoning will in the end bring about collapse, although the power of the volition and of the expectation put into them by man was the greatest
Collapse will come everywhere too where man lives in the conviction that the Light must surely be satisfied with him, because he is better than others
Where such thoughts dwell, there is in reality no pure intuitive vibration of the spiritual inner being of man
It will also always show itself in some way, when such a man under the pressure of the Light displays towards other men contempt, coarseness, or perhaps even vulgarity and indecency of whatever kind
Anything of that sort cannot be in connection with the Light, and it is, alas, always only proof of the unripe state of the inner being of such men
Before such ways everything luminous on the contrary withdraws, and blessing cannot take effect, for the evident unripeness and unreceptiveness of the spirit acts as an insurmountable obstacle to the approach of anything higher
The high spiritual helpers can never have anything in common with these ways, and therefore to men who act thus their work will not bring the expected blessing and help, even though at the beginning it might perhaps appear so
Whoever supposes, moreover, that he can work for the Light not directly as himself but behind the mask of a disguise, thus in an untrue presentation of his own person, will in the end, through the Laws of Creation, share in the shattering of his ideas and plans
All this is part of the old, which is beginning to crumble, and in this respect every volition of men, be it ever so good, who suppose that they know better where the ways of the Light are to lead, will in the end fall into ruin
Let the Egyptian conduct of Ebranit be a warning to such men, whose disguise at the court of Pharaoh was in the end also the cause of the failure of the messenger sent by him to Prince Abd-ru-shin
The threads which were woven in by Ebranit's endeavour, in which he supposed that he could not work for the Light otherwise than in deception and disguise, caused a weak point at the time of the most important moment of his working for Abd-ru-shin, and this the dark adversary made use of
His own way showed itself in the thoughts of the rider sent out, who at the least suitable moment decided that he himself knew better what to do
In the threads of the rider there fulfilled itself that which had no wholly healthy foundation
Any endeavour proceeding from deception as its foundation can find no support and no help in the Light
Such striving will also in the end lose its strength and will bring nothing of what was expected
An attitude which does not stand upon a straight foundation always comes to nothing in the end, and every endeavour striving to set helping values into the world, when in the foundations of this building even a single part is used which is not attuned to the pure currents of the Light, will bring collapse and ruin
The new age, however, will bring the purifying of the foundation down to the very essence of man's attitude towards God, towards His work of Creation and towards other men, who as fellow men have always the right to our pure and sincere dealing
Nothing else will stand but a pure and straight procedure in everything
The present time brings in this a demand upon every man, for all of it is part of the foundation of the new age
The folly of human planning, building upon intellectuality and cleverness, which supposes that here on earth men surely know better than the Light, is doomed to barrenness and will pass away like empty seeds which have hollowness instead of a germ for living growth
Therefore every ripe spirit who longs for connection with the luminous helps descending to the earth from the heights of Creation is now to rely only upon the purest and most genuine procedure in all things
In this there is also no difference between conduct before the public and conduct where man is alone with himself in the belief that he is seen by no one else
He is always accompanied by the Light, and every stirring of his mind is woven by the tirelessly working Vaenen, who record even the smallest thing that proceeds from the motives of man and lead everything to the fulfilment of blossoms and fruits
And it is just these blossoms and fruits of the seemingly invisible, which often appear trifling to man because he supposes it to be his own affair alone, that cause the weakening of all the helps
It is a grave narrowing of the channel, which then does not let the so eagerly awaited helps through to man, and indeed sets many of these helps completely aside
All murmuring and lack of comprehension as to why the helps do not come, when man in his own opinion wishes to help the Light, rest upon these smallest things, in which there so often dwell vibrations of inner impurity, or even of unspoken malice towards other men
All this is then the reason for the impossibility of the thousandfold prepared helps connecting themselves with man
They then remain severed from him, and he supposes that the Light compels him to glean only the smallest scraps of help in life
The cause, however, always lies solely in man's own indolence in watching over his own purity and in guarding its radiance under all circumstances, in the greatest things as in the smallest
With courage everyone is therefore now to set about the work
If he has perhaps already striven for it and does not succeed, then he is to begin anew and otherwise than he has done until now
He is to seek new directions of thinking in freeing himself from baseness and from all that is unlovely
He is to stand wholly free from fear, from distrust, from anxiety for himself and for his fellow men in earthly existence
The freedom of fresh, living spiritual enthusiasm and courage is to become the lasting armour of him who asks for help from the Light
Help is around him in unprecedented measure, but it requires the forming of channels for the connection with his earthly existence
Therefore it needs to be man himself who now opens himself completely to the new setting of a pure walking through life, and in this setting so much that is great and glorious will be able to connect itself with him, of which he has no inkling that it could become his lasting companion already in the time of this earthly life
Yet precisely this is the new, which no one else but he himself can bring to man
Not even the Kingdom of God on earth can bring its blessing to man, if he himself does not open himself to that which is bound up with this kingdom
Let us therefore repent, let us change within ourselves, let us raise our inner being to the pure, joyful praising of the Creator, and the promised Kingdom of God will soon come to us, because its beginning is already here around us
