Why the Enlightenment Is Coming Precisely Now

THE WAY OF THE GRAIL – SUPPLEMENTARY TEXTS – April 1, 2024

Czech original: Proč Právě Nyní Přichází Osvícení · cesta-gralu.cz

To the question of men why any enlightenment at all should be setting in precisely now, it is possible to answer simply and clearly:

“Because the setting of the maturity of all the happenings needed for it in the universe and in men now brings it with it”

That which until now could be regarded as the still only approaching fulfilment of the words “The time is here”, since for the executive work of the animistic servants it required a certain ripening, is now already made ready in the first needful degree

Thus all that needed to ripen over the span of many decades, which among other things also appeared to many impatient men as a seeming non-fulfilment of the promises given by the Light, is precisely now completed

It is therefore, to speak in human words, in the setting of all its threads and radiations “finished”

It took so long a time precisely so that in a wondrous weaving it might first be set as a whole in the fine degree, and then be interwoven for the best possible slipping into gross matter itself

And now it is here, and it stands in the attunement of all the radiations needed for it in the universe for every single creature

Everything in the last few years has thus come to a state which may therefore be called the true coming of the great changes

Just as this happening is in its effects one that is beginning, it is at the same time for this once unalterable

The weaving of the threads of fate of men needed to be led exactly to where it stands today, but in its setting it now stands at the beginning of the intervention of the heightened influx of Light in the fate of all men on earth

It all goes along iron tracks which will unfold further in strict following of the higher power of the Ray of Parzival

Through many approaching events all happenings will attain ever clearer manifestations, up to the complete fulfilment of a state which may be called the beginning of the Enlightened age of a new mankind

The Alphar and the Aglami, as animistic servants working closely around every single man, will therein be recognised ever more as the executive power of the perfect Justice of God intervening in the daily life of men

There are also around men threads of radiation which bear within them an all-surrounding courage and hopefulness for those who have hitherto only hesitated to confess before their fellow-men their fervent wish at last to walk only upon such a path of life as is filled with Light and with enlightenment for their spiritual inner being

This very avowal of the spiritual path is an inseparable part of the coming changes on earth

And it will be a surprise to many how great is in reality the host of those who long to live their life in full accord with the Harmony of God

Although it is still today something that more than one man fears, namely to show visibly his inner striving towards the Light, it will now set in as a quickened wave of the free and unfettered expression of the spirit

Only in looking back will men be able to observe therein that wondrous Wisdom of God, under whose leading everything will thus begin to fulfil itself in the straightforwardness of the happenings

The ripening of all the threads working therein was in the whole preparation the condition without which the Justice of God for every one of the men on earth, which must unconditionally be contained therein, could otherwise never have been attained

And for the attaining of this Justice, which is now set into the smallest happenings for all who are now on earth, it was needful to bring the requisite ripeness of radiation to all the threads drawn from the past

This ripeness of radiation was attained five years ago under the pressure of the nearness of the Ray of Parzival, which at that time stood exactly at such a place from which the beginning of all the happening in the gross material plane itself was made possible for the weavers of the threads

At that moment everything met in a single point, which in looking back will one day be seen by men as the beginning of the great work of the enlightenment of mankind

In a single point there thus met all that was set by the wisdom of God as the starting point of the changes in the earthly world

Never in all the last millennia was it made possible for mankind to attain such a degree of knowledge in which the essence of all religions would be entirely exhausted from many sides

Neither has the knowledge of the Truth of the Lord ever until now been so long upon earth that upon it the intellect could be condemned together with all that in its slyness and heartless coldness is bound up with it into the unquestionable service of Antichrist

It is therefore possible to regard all that has been set forth, which was the condition for the great advance, as already now prepared in every respect

Through the universe there sounds at this moment the call to enlightenment, which comes also as the announcement of the return of the karma of mankind bound up with the crucifixion of the Redeemer Jesus Christ sent by God

Yet it is not a beginning, but only a new influx of radiation which streams with heightened strength to this earth

The radiation permeates all karmic threads, in order to quicken them and thereby to set them into activity of the most living degree

Fearfully there arches over mankind in this all that was laid by men into all the distortions arising from the misunderstanding of most of the words of Jesus

Over two millennia there have been woven from this threads which demand atonement through experiencing

Spiritually there comes to mankind the true experiencing of the night of Easter

Of the night itself and also of the further days which came after the crucifixion of Jesus, in which passing away and at the same time resurrection followed one upon the other

Thus also now all that is wrong in human thinking will pass away in death, so that at the same time beside it enlightenment may awaken on earth in its resurrection

It will awaken in men whose inner being is prepared for spiritual becoming luminous in the radiance of doing only that which sounds in accord with the Harmony of God

The hands of the faithful High animistic servants rest upon their sacred armour, made ready for the single movement which will bring the beginning of the changes leading in their final effect to an unheard-of spiritual enlightenment of mankind upon this earth

All that vibrates in the turbid kind of baseness and intellectuality is now to show itself as an entirely wrong use by men of the gifts which were granted them upon this earth, together with all that lives on it and all that is to be found here

To this possession there belong also all the messages from God, and the Word of Truth itself, made accessible to mankind for its use towards the right spiritual development of every man

The radiation penetrating into all past and present threads will cause a wavering and at last the complete collapse of all that has been and is marked as that which can no longer continue further in its disintegrating manner

Not only of that which men suppose to be wrong and which therefore in their view ought to be struck and swept from the earth, but of everything that is wrong according to the Will of God

And therein lies a great pitfall for the thinking of many men, because most of those who profess God have all too strongly made it their own to lay into their own thoughts and imaginings the impression that it is at the same time the Will of God if they wish something to develop in a certain direction

It matters not at all in what manner this or that religious direction confesses the Creator, it is of no consequence whether it calls him by various names, for in all of them the same error lies as the basic root

And this root, this error, is the excessive conceited self-assurance of men in supposing that they know God and his Will

In their conceit the adherents of the doctrines of faith wholly overlook that they have exchanged that original clear and simple Will of God for their own imaginings and merely for their own wishes

On this many men will now waver, and many thought-structures of all the philosophies and religions that have lasted on earth for whole centuries and millennia will also fall

It will be a hard awakening from an intoxicating dream, formed by men themselves in their coarsened approach to anything higher which surpasses their maturity and also the comprehension of the human spiritual species

Instead of childlike simple humility in the striving to know and to receive all that comes from the heights, there has always crept unnoticed into the reflections of men the setting of the brain, which always wants to know everything best

It is that mentally diseased and therefore necessarily vainly haughty presumption of possessing the highest knowledge of the Truth, which is the foundation of all churches, of religious and of so-called philosophical directions

However much outwardly the semblance of respect towards other opinions is formed, in the inward foundation of man there always lives the notion that it is he who knows everything best

The intellect always holds within itself with dogged convulsiveness this pernicious form of conviction, in which there can then remain no room for the growth of the human spirit, who most urgently needs ever new knowledge in order to draw near at least to a distant understanding of the greatness of God

In human understanding there thus remains permanently present a narrowness with all its manifestations, such as the dogged refusal of everything new

Towards all that in its newness appears at first glance to be of another kind, hatred is then often born together with a feeling of threat, and in the supposed notion that this belongs to the showing of true faith, for the denial of any new knowledge the tried instrument of intellectually rigid dogmatism is used

Dogmatism is moreover a very dangerous kind of intellectual activity of the brain, for alas in individuals weaker in thinking it is often the best tinder for the kindling of any form of fanaticism

Thereby, however, the all-embracing Truth of God is grievously trampled by the human approach, that Truth which out of its unsubstantiate nature always surpasses the measure of the understanding of the human spirit and should therefore lead to the greatest caution in all the notions of men as to with what and how they serve their God

At least a partial understanding of God and of his Will is conditioned for man by the highest work of the spirit, which is always mirrored in his intuitive receptivity towards all other life in the work of Creation

The notion that one must act towards men and towards all creatures in a simplified way, thus in a mechanical procedure insensitively the same towards everyone, denies all the endowments in man which the loving Wisdom of God laid into him in the basic form of the spiritual spark

Whoever supposes that a simplified approach suffices him for life closes within himself the capacities to know something more of the greatness of God

Therefore until now only a partial truth was ever attained by men on earth, instead of the primordially eternal living Truth coming from God

In connection with the many interests of individual men there was in the end always formed out of the original Words of Truth, as a consequence of intellectual conceit, only a wrong setting for the obedient striving of the supporters and adherents of the world's religious directions

Never until now was it otherwise, because up to the present day the radiation as it was set made it possible for Antichrist through the intellect at last in part to corrode all that is precious and to lower it to the degree of dogmatic obedience, or in the worse case to drag it down to the degree of the fanaticism already mentioned for such things as the causing of bodily and of spiritual suffering in the enslaving of fellow-men who by their freer intuitive perception are held for opponents and apostates in the faith, thus all that in everything spiritual goes directly against God and his Will in Creation

So it has been until now

But this radiation has become the past, and today in its manifold strengthening it brings everything in a new setting, so that at last there may come the great liberation and enlightenment of those who till now, under the pressure of countless usurpers and tyrants of power, had to survive in it without being permitted to go through life by purer and straighter ways towards the gaining of maturity for their spirit

All the threads which have hitherto been woven from it stand like a great mountain range above the whole intellectually sly mankind on earth, which holds itself to be so far advanced

The threads stretch back into the past, in order to join the present state in man with what he brought into the world in all his past lives

No one can hide from the reciprocal action of the returning karmic happening, no one can flee before it

Under this radiation all the former conduct of men, built upon indolent simplification, will be shattered and ground to dust

The radiation will no longer permit such conduct in man

It is possible to meet this in one way only

By a complete rebirth in the inner being and in the thinking, thus by entering upon a new path which is an accord with the all-embracing volition for a good and pure manner of life, from the first moments of the earnest decision for such a manner of being on all the planes of the human nature

For earthly man, however, this means a truly great transformation in the setting of his understanding of life

It means becoming first of all an inwardly spiritually quickened inhabitant of the whole of the work of Creation

It is the condition for man, as one newly awakened in spirit, to be able to leave the narrow bounds of the intellect and to bring to life the fervent intuitive perceiving of his inner being

And this too is what is now to come alive in many men as an infusion of new powers, unexpected even for themselves, for the liberation from all that is past

The enlightenment lies in this, that gradually there will be ever more speaking among men with complete openness about all that belongs to the Creator and to his Will in the work of Creation

It will be the subject of many discourses and reflections among men

The earnest occupation with the questions of all that needs to be done with the human world, so that it may be in accord with the great Harmony of the work of Creation, will at last be able to be called the strong hours of the spirit

In freeing themselves from all immature and narrowed notions about the spiritual questions of life, all inwardly awakened men will fervently seek to find accord between their own free fulfilment of life and the living together with the other fellow-men who stand at other degrees of receptivity to the Laws of Creation

The whole time of earthly being will gain for open men a wholly different content and thereby a charge which may be called a life-giving refreshment of spirit and of body

All the hitherto history of mankind will appear as a turbid and dimly featureless stage which tells only of an incredible straying in a circle instead of a free and unfettered striding spiritually forward

Thus too all that is hitherto unknown around the life of Jesus will come to light, all that in the endeavour at cheap superficiality was shifted, indeed quite distorted

Out of the shadow of unknowing there will now gradually step forth the knowledge of the threads of the Alphar, who in the most faithful radiance of their service lovingly wove the threads of fate for the Son of God, so that he might work as long as possible in his earthly life on earth as the giver of the revolutionary, spiritually liberating knowledge from God the Father, which the men of that time bitterly lacked

It was the threads of the Alphar which drove Jesus at the time of the festivals of Israel to Jerusalem, that is, to the place from which he had before been carefully guarded

It was not in order that the Son of God should there contend with the deceitful cunning and the conceit of the priests of that place, but he was above all to meet there those who were led from afar into the little land of Israel, so that the satisfying of their spirit might come to pass, which called within them to seek Him who would bring them inner fulfilment and stilling

Jesus was to meet here those men of various nations who were called by the Light to help him here on earth and who could not come to him earlier than at the very time of the feasts, when many merchants and officials travelled to Israel, and with all the rest also legions of soldiers from Rome and from other administrative regions around the seas

Led by the threads of the Alphar they were to come to him, to help him record his words and also to join their hitherto knowledge with the Truth, so that thereby Jesus might speak of so many things about which at the beginning of his working he had still to keep silent before his small circle, because for their thinking, too much narrowed by the Jewish faith, it would have been ungraspable

The way of Jesus to Jerusalem was therefore not a conscious, foreordained way to Golgotha, that he might there lay down his life to seal his Words and also for men, as is generally supposed, but it was a following of the leading of the threads of the Alphar, in which Jesus saw an opportunity prepared by God the Father to bring the Word to souls hungering after the Truth

It was the Wisdom of God, looking ever forward in the inexhaustible creativeness of the Light, which then ordered for the Son of God on earth the direction of his steps, preparing thus threads filled with Light for the meeting with those who were yet to come to know him on earth and thereafter gratefully to receive the knowledge of the Truth

Led by the threads of the Alphar he had before him a way set by the Light of great working for the hosts of human spirits who could be brought to him, that they might draw for themselves and for their fellow-men from that which he gave ever in overflowing measure to all who came to him

It was therefore not a way leading to torture and murder that was foreordained for the Son of God from the Light, but it was a way set by the Grace of God of the all-conquering working of the Word of Truth, destined to prevail over all the nations of that time

Against this prospect, however, there set itself as an obstacle the vain baseness and also the intellect, scourged by Lucifer, of those who through their own human distortions had become slaves of Antichrist

Out of this baseness there were woven fearful threads directed from men against the Love of God

It was they alone who set themselves blasphemously in the way of the Light, and thereby called forth as a consequence the present necessity of all the balancing, in which mankind as a whole is now brought to the place where it must meet the Ray of Parzival as the executive representative of the Justice of God

But again this place of meeting, which must be called forth in the weaving of the threads out of all the radiation that bears within it all the particles of everyone now incarnated upon this earth, does not contain within it only retribution and the karmic living out of the earlier blasphemous use of free will by the representatives of the mankind ruled by Lucifer, but in this radiation there is at the same time contained the prospect of the resurrection of the spirit of all those who in the coming happening will recognise the Wisdom of the Will of God, which always leads and guides everything, that it may be a help even to the very least of men, if in the vibration of his intuitive perception he calls to mind his first being in the Light and fervently longs for the nearness of God

However many threads from the past may yet have to cross his path, which it will of necessity be given him to live out, yet the Ray of Parzival will be able to lead him as a way-illumining radiance of the pillar of light of God, overflowing with knowledge of all that has been and of all that is yet to come

In the work of Creation there are ways for everyone who awakens inwardly and unfolds out of himself a convincing power for a life directed forward through the wish for a pure, good development for himself and for those near around him, and also for all that is to be found in the unsurveyable far reaches of Creation

To such striving there now comes, through the threads set by the weavers, all that is needful to every one of men, in order to give him courage and also the refreshment of hope, if he does not of himself close himself to it

But alas there are still on earth many men who are inwardly closed and therefore must of necessity stray in a circle of experiencing out of which it is not given them to step

The Ray of Parzival, however, brings the cutting asunder of this vicious circle

The way will thus straighten for everyone and take a swift direction, either upward to enlightenment, to the Light, or downward into an ever stronger state of centrifugal circling, in which at last the human spiritual consciousness will not endure and will pass away

The Ray of Parzival measures in this alike for everyone

Decisive is always only in what direction the threads of the free choice of the human spirit run

Yet it holds that the way of enlightenment is that way of ascent which from the beginning was set as a grace-filled predestination bestowed from the Light for the development of every human spirit

The entangling of the human spiritual sparks upon their ways in the consequences of free decisions has, however, brought many to wavering and at last to falling downward instead of ascending upward

Those who can still open themselves and again recognise the direction of their original way, natural and desirable for the human spirit, can be helped in the time which is now setting in

The others in their closedness cannot be saved against their will, for the Holy Laws of God do not permit such a thing

The time of the great enlightenment is here

It is a gift from the Light, which at the very last moment still offers many men the possibility of rescue

The Light above the earth works blessedly and fearfully at the same time, for it bears the necessity of decision for everyone who is here and who is now given over to the returning threads of his own earlier decisions

May there therefore come the resurrection of as many human spirits as possible who are still fast asleep

May everyone who still perceives within himself the vibrations of his good-willing intuitive perception be permitted to refresh himself and to draw courage for a new life

Let all who are but capable of it open themselves, so that the work of the great enlightenment which is made ready for the new age of mankind on earth may come to them also
