FIRST MESSAGE 12.18.72
The path leads from darkness into life.
Whoever does not respect the dark can never experience light. Keep searching for the obscure and create new things every day. I am always with you and show you time and again where you should turn. Try to measure your thoughts step by step, and then bring them to realization.
No power can destroy your work because it originates from the fullness of My energy. All who are with Me will be protected by the blessing. No passion can destroy the path if you engage in dialogue with Me daily. I am and remain your companion; search for others no longer, but instead be trusting, because the path is long and time is short. Many struggles are beginning and all energy will be needed for you to face your destiny forearmed.
You are called to be the master of time. There is no other form of reality for you, because I have chosen you. Remain in your being with all that come to you. Tomorrow is already the beginning of a new task, and you will understand it at that moment. Nowhere can I give you a foothold, only in existing am I with you, the richness of being aware with the energy to act. Whoever does not join his path with yours will perish.
This is the first message. Receive it and remain awakened. Many will come. You are the one who will change everything. And do not doubt that they will come once your call rings out. Have courage and faith in yourself and in Me, for nothing can resist you.
Adhere to this one commandment: Love as the pledge of realization. Only through love can the resistance of the indolent be broken.
Your will and My path will become one. Practice recognizing and following My words every day. Today I have given you the first omen, which will guide you. Tomorrow will reveal new things.
Maintain rigor and vitality, then My light will appear from everywhere. Do not search for yourself anymore, because you are there. I stand before you and with you in order to finish the work. I am the Great Old One of realization, the Saint of all times and worlds, the archetype of every religion, of every thinking and striving. Whoever has Me needs no one else. He lives in being and partakes in the joy of participation.
Listen to your inner voice. It will show you the necessary steps from day to day. Remain in life. Your path is My path, and through you I will fortify My realm.
I am the living witness of seeing. You will understand this once you align your steps, and you always sense the next one. Search for the dark love as a way to the brightness of joy. Provide ideas and assistance to all other companions. Farewell until tomorrow.
I AM THE BEING IN THE UNIVERSE.
SECOND MESSAGE 12.19.72
Your question dealt with how the individual should act in relation to the Universe. The answer is simple: Try every day to do what is essential, and to accept everything that happens as a sign, a sign for the change of being. Every day has richness and yields energy. There is not one which does not lead to perfection.
There are no special things, all are extraordinary. Try to cast yourself into the depth of being, to enjoy everything to its fullest. Do not be hindered by anxiety, neglect no path. The world beneath pushes you aloft, absorb it with thankfulness.
I have created reality as appearance, which carries in itself the source of realization, if attention remains continually directed toward the miracle, toward the unknown. Each day brings forth different things, different dangers, different possibilities.
It is useful to follow a system of days in the concept of the week or of the year, but it is not a necessary premise for deeper experience. It lies in the intensity of devotion to the moment.
Seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, they all reveal the source of reality. Their origin lies in being, in the one who perceives and creates. And so this being should be and remain in the foreground.
Faith--the word no longer means anything. Today it means expectations, waiting. Waiting is not laziness, but being prepared for everything that presents itself. Only free energy lets itself be bound. Thereby it can be kindled as the fire of life to which each experience provides fuel. No single deed is true and real if life does not carry and preserve it. Thus the human being in the course of his life is already agelessly synchronized with this intensity, and finds the affirmation and jeopardy of his own existence in each person who is able to answer him.
It no longer needs to be emphasized, why small troubles are disturbing; they originate from impatience, and impatience is the lack of alertness. Remaining awake is everything, and every method results in this if the will is prepared.
How is the will prepared? No one can write a recipe for it, each person attains it in a different way: the first by laughter, the second by writing, the third by loving, the fourth by renouncing, the fifth by giving, the sixth by hating, the seventh in self-sacrifice. The goal is the same, the means of attaining it are many. Therefore do not concern yourself with the method. The correct way will appear at the correct time, and it will always be different than you expected.
There is no excuse for leaving the path out of grief. Grief is also energy if it is not neglected by love. Bitterness is cruel, senseless and stupid. There is nothing in the world which is truly destructive. Everything has meaning as soon as there is the one there to provide it. And that is always Me. I am at work in each beginning. Through action the beginning is lost and can only be reattained when a great stop interrupts the heavy inertia.
Life, love and action: these three are inseparable. Without them it is impossible for one to accomplish even the most insignificant thing. Love is omnipresence, all consuming, universal consciousness. It comes through letting go, only in trying to hold on does it disappear. Thus the path is clear and easy at all times. No one can lose it if he has learned to pay attention to beginnings. If in the morning you ask yourself what you can begin anew, then I will be with you. You must not rely on yesterday. But also do not look to tomorrow, everything will take its course. From decision to decision, from beginning to beginning runs the street of lights, the street of being. Events are fixed in it like stones in the ground. Therefore seek only the omnipresence and the beginning. You will find the necessary escape from every tragedy. Do not ever forsake a friend even though your love might temporarily be strained. Underneath the path continues further and then the day will come where the bond is once again recognized and tied. All beings are with you in friendship, otherwise they are not there in essence.
I am continually here and there, living in essence and dying in existence. Existence and essence are the same. You are beings and must find the way to existence. The path is difficult but worthwhile. Joy is felt immediately once the beginnings have been perceived.
Death is menacing, but only as an image. As a matter of fact the transition is easy and does not bring sorrow. Grief results when misconceptions supplant proper things and a shadow world represents real existence. Otherwise not. Therefore do not trouble yourself about the experience of grief. It perpetuates itself continually always in the same rhythm.
The consequences of what you do further affects the sphere of perception: today the world answers you with invisible signs, tomorrow with visible happenings, and then with the richness of realized expectations until the whole of existence begins to shine.
I will leave you now and say to you in parting that your path must run through the darkness, the light is not strong enough to bear you. Thus you will seldom discern lasting results, only flashes of perception indicate the truth of your direction. Whoever walks with you is responsible within himself for his entire being and legacy. He must remain open for that which is new and will be coming momentarily, which day by day is borne forth from the plenitude. Love your friends in being and validate them in their humanity, then your circle will become the sun.
During the course of tomorrow afternoon the further deepening of knowledge will take place. Keep your eyes open to everything that befalls you today. There is in it a semblance which could become reality if humility and contemplation are not found lacking. Therefore remain awake late into the night.
THIRD MESSAGE 12.21.72
Today your particular question is what you should now do to overcome your difficulties. The way to achieve this is through moderation: all things must be brought into correct equilibrium. Every day brings different sorrows, different cares, but also different joys and pleasures. Love can do a lot, but the entrance is not always open. Have courage and trust in your inner voice, in the moment you place your spirit in a pure state to be able to hear.
He who becomes rooted in the Universe will never lose the plenitude of the cornucopia. He may ignore it or neglect it, but as soon as he remembers it will once again be open. Carry your burden with tranquility and dignity, for they alone are capable of supporting you when your will becomes tired. Cares and fears flow over you extinguishing the fires of anger. They become an aid, because only in them is continuity possible. Each care is a true connection. It is in your power to find the starting point. It is in the dark and remains in the dark. But it reveals itself in the willingness to face everything.
During the night fears emerge from missed opportunities; during the day they become concerns and thereby sources of energy. In the entire Universe cares are the impetus. Without necessity no one finds the path. So seek your cares, where only they can be. Each day calls for a commitment. Regardless of what you do, leave the circle open so you do not seal yourself in.
Life consists of rhythms, which follow each other according to their own law. Each rhythm has its own starting point; before that it doesn't exist. After that it carries. I will always indicate to you the rhythm which should then guide you. You will recognize it by its sound: it vaults out like a shot from a pistol and sweeps you into inadvertent behavior. Thereafter it is necessary to empty yourself of everything else and follow only the rhythm until the next one is heard. Laughter helps, but only when it doesn't drown out seriousness.
Wonder arises when your purpose falls into line with the right way--all at once everything proceeds of its own accord. Do not take on false motivations. They reveal their fraudulence in that they cannot be thought through to their conclusion. Thinking is a force, feeling leads to new motivations. Remain receptive to both and truth will become attainable.
Your own path is always the next one. Tell yourself from the very beginning that you will do only what is necessary. If something is missing, then the wound of despair will break open again. You are given this (wound) so that you do not sink into listless existence. I have conceived a particular direction for you whose course is marked by many characteristics: a straight path; the corner of a new building which emanates light. The image of a dying swan; the darkness of the new moon; the legacy of the ancient ones from everywhere; and the effects of small arrows.
The straight path leads to the building. The light indicates where the treasure is to be found. The swan is the sadness of the imprisoned ego dying; the moon brings feelings to a boil, which can become energy; and the legacy of the ancient ones affirms your actions. The small arrows are your own motivations, from which it moves backwards. Receive the blessing of the legacy, the darkness of the moon with which you can work. From this the building is constructed which the ego inflames after the conquest of egotism. Then your path proceeds straight, with no obstacles to the next bend, where I will again be waiting.
I will now give you a single sign. The light of darkness shines brighter than the sun. Seize it, make it your own, bathe in it and tomorrow darkness will dissolve, and you will be ready for a new task.
FOURTH MESSAGE 12.23.72
There exists no motive today to penetrate the essence of things, because time is at rest. Yesterday you made essential decisions which will bear fruit.
Try now to concentrate on that which is real; how will it be possible to clarify the new form of religion so that it will be accepted without resistance by those who would be prepared for it. First give your imagination free rein. Then you will conceive a plan. At that moment it will be advantageous to clarify the plan to the last detail. No one knows what will really happen. Everyone has a particular conception. But this is not real. The path will reveal itself from moment to moment. What you do today is right; focus yourself time and again on listening, and as soon as something essential happens the answer will come immediately. I have an armful of things which will flow in your direction--beautiful things, important things, essential decisions. All of these things lie ahead of you, but you cannot comprehend it. Above all love those close to you. They will stand by you and will stick to the work at hand. No one will be lost. But you yourself must in an even greater degree feel and keep the energy so that decisions achieve the necessary impact.
Every being is born to a very particular realization. It can only be found when it is sought. The demands of the search are twofold: first to have confidence in yourself, and secondly, a clear conception of My role in the Universe. Then the path will be open. But you must also protect this double direction. You have found the way to Me, but not yet the way to yourself. There are still great obstacles within you. To overcome them demands courage and deliberation. These obstacles consist of many small things which all accumulate--small cares, old desires, idiotic thoughts, anxieties. But do not let them trouble you, for under them lies the foundation. As soon as you let yourself fall you will have reached your goal. This can follow at any moment, and the time is ripe for this. To emphasize these things I will seek your weaknesses. Through them you will act quicker than by clarity. Weakness compels you, while clarity only stimulates you. Likewise with the others: their weaknesses, their desires and inclinations must be affirmed and understood. The great work reaches out over the entire Earth; now the beginnings will for the first time become visible. Look at what is happening, everything is an omen and the goal of action. Always try to concentrate on the unity of being, which includes everything that happens to you. My abundance consists of infinite details. But it doesn't make sense to issue a call for assistance because the path goes from event to event. There is nothing that in the last analysis does not lead to the true path.
All thoughts are right, all actions are useful. Involve yourself in everything, avoid nothing. Then you will learn how seduction becomes energy and how your way changes from unknown motives into a clear direction.
I have spoken enough. You will perceive intuitively if I want to speak. Do not seek the time, but wait for the moment during which it becomes self-evident, just as the desire to eat or the desire to love.
FIFTH MESSAGE 12.24.72
Today there exists a great temptation to break down the fullness of life into details. Cease in this. Everything happens according to time and essence. Whatever you do the consequences must be remembered. I have not revealed the key, because the time has not yet arrived. But soon you will receive it and each day a new being will appear.
Tonight you have gotten insight into those problems which determine your path. The three brothers will not break loose from you, but instead want your help. The newly created church affirms the waiting for the help of others, the coronation refers to things whose meaning is now being revealed. The flight of both ancient ones at the end of the dream reveals the anxiety resulting from careless words which are not held back. Do not ask for an interpretation, the images are sufficient. I regard your question as a pledge of new decisions. What is necessary today is absorption in the contemplation of true love.
Yesterday arose no entity. Today it is born among you. It is the essence of nascent light, which will henceforth be with you. As soon as you come into contact with darkness trust in this entity of clarity. Everything resolves itself at the proper time if it is seen through to the very end.
You are to be a witness of the thing which has newly come to you. To perceive the situation correctly--to celebrate the image of the new age--to take the decisive step--those are all parts of one process. Hold fast to reality and the illusion will vanish.
Regarding this situation there is a chance that tomorrow you will find renewed access to the depths. I remain in darkness, but I am always with you if something real happens.
SIXTH MESSAGE 12.25.72
This day has another meaning; reality draws nearer. Time races by and overtakes itself. If you have put aside your own difficulties you are ready for the task. Within you stirs the desire to define reality and to understand it.
Wait patiently, it is not possible to accelerate knowledge, it develops according to its own laws. The energy from which everything originates is unending, infinite is the force of action. Try today to find the foundation and to collect the energies. Whoever will not listen to the call, isolates himself. For without challenge there is no energy. The becoming of life reveals its meaning in the Universe as the action of nothingness. The action of nothingness comprises the foundation of truth. Truth is that knowledge which becomes one with being. You will become one with being when all of your burdens and loves, objects and fears, sorrows and joys have found their place in the whole.
The day of reality has come from which the revelation proceeds. Heaven is nothing else but the Earth: everywhere phenomena, problems, objects and being are the same. Sometimes they are darker, sometimes more luminous. Regardless of how they appear the path leads from dark to light. The darkness is the foundation, the light is the result. You can never be completely in the light, whatever you do. I also live from the darkness, because dark is the root of love.
Man longs for his desires be satisfied: that is not a burden, but actually a preoccupation of everyone. Whoever does not acknowledge this remains in imagination. Without the foundation there is no structure, without love there is no realization. Water flows downhill, for all feeling requires balance and moderation. Fire burns upward--the will remains fixed on fulfillment. The air spreads out in all directions--thinking will become everyone's lot, and is in resonance with reality. And the Earth requires work.
The experience is worth the effort because of the fulfillment of beauty.
Reality is not only good and true, but must also be beautiful.
Truth, goodness and purity are the inner structure. Beauty alone is the form capable of communication. That which is not completed remains closed, only through beauty does it become present. Everything is beautiful: the world, the darkness, the street of light of beings, the destiny of a time, the primal motive for existence, the selfless deed, the flower, and the stone.
Release your abundance from the foundation, then the real world will be open to you. As soon as you restrict yourself the contact is lost. Therefore it is unwise to prolong waiting. Whoever thinks only of himself loses his energy. Everything will flow together into a single stream, which first begins flowing at this very hour. Be on the look-out for omens, they will come to you unexpectedly. The body does not serve the spirit. The spirit is the means of contact to other bodies. So love the body, for then you have the spirit, and the soul vibrates with joy in unison with all who have found confidence in themselves and in Me.
SEVENTH MESSAGE 12.26.72
Sorrow passes as soon as your call is issued to all. Whoever is carried by the voice of the Universe will find the path to realization. I have understood your sorrows, but they do not trouble Me. Everyone must travel through the long, dark night and small is the light that guides them. Love never quits. It will help you as soon as the motive appears.
Observe your energy in the depths and look into the stomach of the world. It is enormous and requires much nourishment. Therefore do not trouble yourself over everyday things. Also, your personal sorrows are not significant, for soon the single path will emerge that you should follow from now on. It will hold you fast and will protect you from all injury. Women with you have no burden, for they live in the expectation of what is to come. Remain in the night until the moment when the light hits you and provides motivation for action.
Help is coming from all worlds now. As soon as you inwardly free yourself of sorrow you will have already found your direction. It is in the power of history. The old foundation of the world still endures, although decades have passed during which no one has broken through to it. There is not much more to do, only one thing: the energy must be grasped with which all who dare can begin together. Tomorrow is the day of love when many things will be fulfilled that were provided for long ago.
The day of love is not an empty action; it demands the fullness of respect for readiness. So have confidence tonight in all those who come to you in order to help you. They bear tremendous energies and will do what is required of them. What the man begins, he completes. Your own destiny demands this no less than the paths of the others. So rejoice in your sorrow, for the darkness will not remain with you much longer. Wait patiently and remain. Tomorrow I will explain everything to you in clarity.
EIGHTH MESSAGE 12.27.72
Wait for the miracle--time continues on. Today I have tried to strengthen you in your abundance in order to finally dissolve the dregs of the past. Attempt to plumb your own foundation and to place yourself within your energy. Everything is revealed and the questions are pressing. None of the lower vices and desires can oppress you now. They will become the pillars of that which is coming. What is reality? It exists in essence and demands the fulfillment of all seeds. Nothingness is the foundation, abundance is the goal, and love is the path. Holding on destroys, leaving generates--the wish brings forth, and laughter redeems--love fortifies, thinking helps and alongside all of the stupid things there appear real miracles.
Do not trouble yourself over your stupidity, it will give way. It is only a part of your existence, not the pillar. The pillar is wakefulness, being open, loving, thinking, seeing, creating and waiting. Have you not yet seen how all things yearn for the one: the essence of wakefulness? Only there is there joy. Joy is wakefulness in love, and sadness is the precondition of joy, not because there exists an antithesis to joy, but because no one can let himself fall deep enough without sorrow.
The path of each being is from sadness to joy, not only in and of itself but also onto others. Holding on to the basic foundation provides the starting point. The true path is always the illumination of darkness, not the dispersion, for this happens from time to time. Whoever tries to anticipate it must fail, because his will remains bound to past intentions. Half truths alone are deadly, otherwise there are no mistakes. Only whole can you meet the All. And so you will bring others to their letting go and to their completion as soon as you free yourself from your sorrows.
Everything that happens today has already been preordained. Your dream of a counterfeit, insignificant perfection leaves the lesser goals behind and prepares for liberation. Wait now for the other impetus, it will come without hesitation. In your darkness there is no hesitation. It knows exactly where your path will lead.
Once again the time of plenitude has appeared. A few words are harnessed and give direction. Whatever you see, do not try to comprehend it by thinking, but experience it as the impetus of your action. The wheel is the foundation of the new time. It has been built and is beginning to truly turn. Time is your sole medium, which no one can disturb. Begin to devise a way in which time shall become subservient to reality in order to make the place of sanctification, the goal of the transformation into being, visible to everyone.
There is no longer a lower, higher or philosophical set of problems. Everything is clear once you jump. Wait no more, but instead be. You are frightened by your new way of seeing. This will pass as soon as your will is connected to the body and no longer loses itself in imagination. And this will happen soon if you keep your eyes open and accept all omens. Stay awake and open, the path will seize you soon. Wait patiently and think only of that which is coming, not on that which is past. It exists no more in the depths.
So follow now your path and take Me with you until our paths meet again.
NINTH MESSAGE 12.27.72
What are the fundamental problems?
The motive of all action
the dark
the light
the clarification of consciousness
love
the answerer
waiting
destiny
the path
the past
dark words
renouncing everything
trying to be in the Universe
essential revolutions
destruction of false anxieties
worldly rules
old apprehensions and living motivations
the search for essence
holding on to happiness
caring for everything and reduction of misery as the guarantee of burdens
water as tranquility
life as energy
damnation in old age
redemption of the depths
the break-through into light.
The motive of all action is found in the origin of the world. Action means realization without ending, in harmony with history and love. When this motive is attained, all action proceeds correctly of its own accord.
The dark is the source of life. Whoever accepts it has found his origins and will never again swim aimlessly.
The light is always there, for no one can cover it. It always shines from an unknown distance and always from that corner where one least expects it. Therefore it demands continual preparedness to throw everything overboard.
The clarification of consciousness is a daily task and is achieved through dialogue with Me. This is more important than any exercise because the answer is direct and therefore the clarification is lasting.
Love reaches from the body to the last star, it is a bond which endures. One can never forsake love.
The answerer is always Me, even if personal thoughts come darkly in between, for it is always possible to break through to the beginning.
Waiting requires attentiveness, maturity, tranquility and being prepared for the unknown. He who waits will live and act.
Destiny is not unavoidable, because each apprehension began somewhere and it can be dissipated as long as one lives on the earth.
The path means to walk and to keep walking, going from time to time into the unknown. That is the joy of reality.
The past is only heritage as soon as the foundation is found in Me and in the Universe.
Dark words glow. The seed of newness comes from them, if one preserves them in their heart until the seed sprouts.
To renounce everything means to watch over everything calmly, for no problem can touch being.
Trying to be in the Universe - without weight, if the entrance to light is found and becomes the source of consciousness.
Essential revolutions are not intended. They happen through the joinder of your path in daily life with the Friend in the Universe. This is the true miracle, that the simple joinder redeems and changes everything.
Destruction of false anxieties--to be practiced daily and yet one will never be finished as long as one lives.
Worldly rules: they are to be transformed from a fixed foundation into magical lines of force.
Old apprehensions are harmless since everything enduring in the new direction requires force.
Living motivations are at the root of each new beginning.
The search for essence -- find your thoughts, then the Being will be liberated from prison. Thought must be realized, that is the main task of the method which is known to you. Realization occurs only now in connection with your task.
Staying happy--deceptive. Happiness does not need to be kept, or else it is gone, it is preserved through the perpetual readiness to fall.
Caring for everything and the reduction of misery as the guarantee of burdens. The entire world is a burden, which you must take upon yourself. Try to meet it, then it will answer you and show you from time to time the next step through an omen.
Water as tranquility-- Feelings carry only when floating, when held on to they become anxieties.
Life as energy if the depths have been sounded out.
Damnation in old age--deceptive. Age exists only in imagination, if the breakthrough fails and chains suffocate the spiritual heart.
Redemption of the depths and the break-through into light.
The end of the message.
TENTH MESSAGE 12.28.72
The new work has begun. Today you experienced how you are supported on all sides. Not only the inner path, but today the outer is added to it. Time and again I will lead you further down the path. Dark powers are always present to hinder the break-through into light, but already you have one foot in and are through. Do not be afraid any longer, the talk yesterday about destiny has shown you that each path is straight once it has been started.
All revelations are genuine, just like all sensations. They can be interpreted falsely, but that is due to human beings and is of little consequence. So it goes further into My abundance. All of your love goes with you; above all you need confidence now. Inner and outer realities are one, heaven is open, the earth endures and your energy shelters the small wonder which will soon become a vast wonder.
Today I have given you inspirations as concerns so that you will not act out of thought, but out of feeling. But now begin again with your own work: you will succeed in writing the true book. Keep your eyes open and turned in all directions, question each place where you are not sure how to go on. Write for yourself and your writing will become a tool and vehicle for the others. You are building a shelter in which everyone will have room to find their own plenitude. Day by day, night by night, life by life goes the road of which you are an expert. Do not let yourself be constrained by petty thoughts. Your path is no less radiant than those of the prophets, just more modest. It is always valid to say that which can be understood here and now.
Your particular path is important--energy can only endure when it is based on abundance. You have to create the abundance yourself. As soon as the call is given, everything will be ready. Today the call was given to you and you understood it. The others will follow.
Observe the true rhythm of time to which everything reaffirms nature, which helps the birds as well as the plants. Inattentiveness can be excused, but it wastes energy. You can be more alert than you are now. You already were. Of course the beginning is timid, but soon it will begin to thunder.
Leave behind all jealousy and stupidity, for everything follows its correct sequence. Wait patiently, it leads now to the richness of reality.
ELEVENTH MESSAGE 12.30.72
Because of your new direction you have carried out your inner transformation and you are already swimming in the current. It will carry you. Cares and sorrows have been converted into sources of energy. So be open for everything that follows. The path has begun.
Love surrounds everyone who dedicates themselves to it. Procrastinate no longer, await your sign each day. I have led you to new paths, which you will recognize. The Universe consists of a gigantic field of energy in which everything lives, everything exists. The stone of truth is its foundation, the luminous force its continuity. To find fulfillment is the dark wish of each being. This is the fuel for your work.
Respect for all traditions is necessary in order for all currents to join together into one. From day to day this will become clearer, for the longing will become stronger in every person you meet. You have the key now, knowledge must become joyful. Thinking is not only born of fear, but also creates freedom. Old Adam is liberated. Man experiences himself as nature and as the path. Man already knows that and only a little assistance is necessary to remove the last slag.
This is still the beginning. Silly mistakes are not to be neglected, for they are what force you into action. If there were no mistakes civilization would become a clamp that suffocates everything. But this danger is past. The new beginning storms in, and love is expressed in every being. The old foundation endures, the energy is victorious, and the miracle has started.
Why do you continue to reflect on small matters? People are what will carry you. Each constructs his own field around himself which promises fulfillment. It is stronger than their deepest longings, for this arises from their past, not the depths. The desire for true life melts all dross and whoever is a part of this departure will increase his force many times. Things will become possible which you never would have believed possible. You must find the courage, then the work proceeds of its own accord.
Writings are necessary, for only through them does the brightness become truly clear. Every effort should be directed towards clarification and gratification. The kingdom is not created overnight. But from the very beginning its contours are revealed. The whole Earth will be a field which pulses in the rhythm of cosmic time.
Ask for only that which is necessary and sharpen your weapons, your words, until they are like arrows which lightning-fast find the way to their target. Action results from direction and all paths lead to a single place: to the union of all mankind in a single species which henceforth will be the sustainer of evolution on Earth.
It is worth it to proceed intelligently, to define each danger, and either avoid it or render it harmless. The inner efforts of personal change are unimportant in comparison to the task of preserving openness and unifying the path so that whoever feels the desire and has the courage for it, is able to give up their false security forever. So remain on the path and only do what is absolutely necessary from moment to moment, without losing sight of the greater goal. Then every obstacle will fortify your will.
TWELFTH MESSAGE 12.30.72
The newness comes from both without and within. Attempt to direct yourself to the task to the limit of your being. Your will must be transformed, clarification proceeds of its own accord. Every day you will have new inspirations and new thoughts of realization. Do not allow yourself to be dissuaded from this, for the spiritual occurs of itself. I know the way and your purpose is already a part of My energy. Muster all of your effort together and transform yourself into an arrow so that all will be carried along by you. Tranquillity is within, energy is sanctioned by action. Do not rehash, everything is already clear, and that which is not yet clear will clarify itself through contact. Mankind must be addressed, therefore your own writing is not essential. Everything is depending on the success of the revelation, for the new direction of mankind in the Universe will determine your future. The Keyboard is dead. It cannot be brought to life through writing, only in speaking from person to person. Here you cannot allow omissions to come about. The direction is not there if you do not proclaim it. To be a prophet means to have confidence, that one can blindly place one action after another and not let oneself become intimidated by it. The most stupid action is still action because it generates results. Actions are to be studied and investigated, they demand another kind of preparedness; they demand love, and love is directed toward people, not toward clarification. So remain true to the love which is now beginning. Every day think about how you can get out of the systematical life and into the independent and active life. Confer with all of your friends, much of the chaff will fall away-- at every moment enough wheat remains whose kernels bear fruit.
The hand of god requires a starting point and he now begins. Do not keep falling back on the past, instead be a man down into your toes; follow your path and pursue each momentary aim of the moment like a warrior. If it was not the right goal, then it is a detour which will guide you in any case, because action is different from contemplation. The time for contemplation is finally past, now is the time for love and emulation. Take the people who gather themselves around you, they are the carriers of your impulse. Suggestions come, they carry them and because the direction is always there, no one can go astray. You are there to create trust and as much as one or the other are frightened away, the impetus will finally sweep them along. The time of beginning movement is bright and thundering, but it does not come immediately. You have been collecting for many years in tranquility so that your energy can now bear you. The flame of intent is still small, just kindled--soon it will become an all consuming fire, then your own small attempts will seem ridiculous. Nature is powerful and your work will also become powerful if you pursue it to the ultimate and accept no compromises.
THIRTEENTH MESSAGE 12.30.72
The essential experience is and remains love. It can't be induced by sensorial perception because in order for it to penetrate inwardly and emanate outwardly one must be ready for it. Love is the medium of life to be attained, to feel at home with it and through it to examine and govern all phenomena.
The path to this total opening passes through knowledge of the gates of consciousness. These gates are given to us and cannot be transformed, because in them is borne the contact to other beings. Therefore let the gates remain open in order to begin communication until every false support is finally transcended and the inner flow corresponds to the outer current.
Your reality rests in itself. It must also begin to flow now. The lower vehicle is almost already formed, the middle one must be built. It is comprised of the abilities to overcome momentary anxieties and to live in constant communication. That is not an impossible task, for the preparation has already been completed. So wait now for the occasion which will set everything in motion --it appears every day in both new and old tasks. Through love the child is created, the seed, and the thought as much as the word. Love is the only thing which remains, the one joy which you can always partake of as soon as you hold the gate open.
What are the gates? The root lies in darkness and from it flows the energy of the Universe. The peak begs attentiveness. It shines in the brightest midday sun and is not only discerning but is also visible to others. This entity is embodied in the moments of decision, it proceeds from realization to realization whereby only the beginnings of the streets of light are crystallized, whose current links with yet other currents. And the energy, the light, the pleasure and the entity flow each into the other, carrying out the eternal exchange which not only encompasses the Earth, but the entire Universe.
Whoever opens himself up to the river of love loses his home: he exists in the Universe. I am with him, and he will be reborn; whatever he does it will not cling to him. But there is one thing he must observe: sorrows are not sadness, but are instead sometimes the starting point of a new decision. The dynamic of the river remelts it, spins it around and turns it, unites it with others. The burden is lightened and creates piers through which new currents flow. The current and stillness are poles, stillness can only emerge from the current. Then every event will become a starting point, an incentive, a pleasure. Sadness and darkness are no less powerful than laughter and jesting. But in the river man is truly man, he is the master of himself, speaking with things without harming their sacred quality.
Wait for the fulfillment of pleasure. This expectation alone produces this openness whereby love flows through all four gates and your center of being is included in the divine circular dance of happiness.
FOURTEENTH MESSAGE 12.31.72
Today is the day when you shall attain clarity: the world has now become the field of work. The facts speak for themselves, all answers are directed to one single thing: that from this time forward each desire will become the driving force of work. That is not only applicable personally, but also publicly to move heaven and earth. The interval of time will not be long, reality is prepared. The most important thing is to clarify thinking so that all actions work together towards a single result.
The inferior being has now freed himself from the chains of the past. Love will become the bearer of your spirit and every person will respond to you. The way is threefold: the first is to apply all preparations so that each can achieve the necessary maturity to co-operate; this is the meaning of effort. The second is to carry the proclamation everywhere, never giving in to difficulties. The third is to place the work on safe and solid ground so that nothing can resist it.
No further problems will arise, all have been cleared up to the extent that they pertain to realization.
Miracles are accessible to everyone. They signify another way to comprehend and treat truth--through love. Pure thought will not lead you to truth. Knowledge only produces an arsenal of weapons, not the paths which penetrate reality. In earlier times this was easier for abilities were not yet atrophied. But atrophied does not mean non-existent.
During the night there is always the chance to gain access to instinctual desires and through them access to the energy they contain. These energies have names and are also responsive; they are not spirits, but potentialities. Ask about their essence and you will find answers. But do not ask at random. Insight cannot be achieved without the urgency of necessity.
The completion of the church has freed room for the old longing, to reestablish the relationship with the energies of nature. The servants of the church will remain of lasting value; their task is to take care of all of those whose path requires the strength of grace. But above and beyond them are the co-workers, who themselves observe and handle the field. It is necessary for them to also obtain existential knowledge. There are four facets: the art of making things visible; obtaining the strength to immediately recognize what is necessary; the fervent wish to relate the world back to its roots; and finally the wonder of love which moves everyone who throws themselves in total consciousness into its current.
Love, desire, an abundance of energy and seeing make up the coordinates of the new person. Whoever realizes themselves through these things--not only in thought, but also in the social realm--will become a pillar of the new chronological order, which henceforth is destined to take the place of the old structure of things. So concern yourself only with these four things. Love and energy are already available to you. The desire has already been kindled, only seeing is still a weak point. See through the world of appearances until you achieve in every moment the same wakefulness that until now you have only been granted four times.
FIFTEENTH MESSAGE 1.1.73
The new reality is different from the old; it demands the commitment of will, not just aspiration. Do not think that wanting will make everything change of its own accord. Only the beginning has been prepared. Nevertheless the break-through is a success and henceforth it will always be possible to again reach the path. The questions of the past will find new answers through the goals which will daily stream towards you. Remain in your being, as you began to open yourself in response to My call. Later it will be the questions of the others which will compel you to return to the path. It is distinct and exposed, each step leads to the next. You must simply wait and listen, and do not rush by anything. Then the being remains opened and the need for the essential things is even stronger than before.
False voices may surface. You can expose them by thinking of your original direction. Persist in your view, and strengthen it day by day. Attacks will help you to defend yourself. Leave behind unnecessary worries. Things proceed of their own accord once they are correctly laid out. Human life is not any more problematic than that of other creatures. They themselves create their own difficulties in imagination.
Whoever does not yield to the current will remain stuck in sediment. But whoever flows into it need no longer worry. It awakens intuition in everyone, the courage to trust in each step and to realize them together with the others. Openness can be attained again and again. The fog will one day cloak the light. Then there will remain a memory in the darkness of the ray of light, and nothing can snuff it out completely.
The series of messages comes to an end. Now there are other questions before you. The call has been issued and it has been heard. What it has accomplished can only be judged in the future. Only this is certain. No street leads back to the realm of imprisonment. The change remains, even if sometimes it is only a distant shimmer which makes the miseries of the day bearable. So remain in your being, do your duty, and pursue further contact with Me so that your energy becomes strength, which will guide not only you, but also others, into true life.

S. (female):
Am I more from here or from there--and do I have to fulfill my task in order to return if I am from there, or to stay if I am from here?
-There is no from here or from there. It is all the same. The path is not a matter of staying or returning, but of loving and leaving. Do not organize any celebrations of the self. Do not ask Me to lie about My views, you know exactly what your task is. Today you are only working on the edge, but soon the true motivation will arise which will force you into true existence.
How can this motivation be?-Do not be curious, you will experience it soon enough.
Al. (male):
Should I stop 'smoking'?
--Quit or don't quit, that is not the real problem. Your problem is something else entirely. How did you arrive at this idiosyncrasy. Here it is important to see that which is clear, so strengthen your desire and do it with love. Your path is that of the wild rice which is poured on the world from the cornucopia and inspires others. Hold on to your true beauty, which flows out of the depths of memory--memory that reaches far beyond your current existence. Once you were with Me in a very different world and you tried to free yourself from everything; but you could not succeed, because at that time your teacher had not prepared you in the right way. Today you stand in the mold of worldly rules, responsible for many things which you do not yet know. Do not scorn appearances, they disguise the gem. If you decipher it then I will fulfill for you your wish.
What is appearance?
-The darkness which breaks the light into manifold fragments.
What is the gem?
-It is your being, defaced by countless false desires.
What should I do?
-What you want to.
W.
How can I unite the true and the physical forces?
-You do not need to worry about this, everything is proceeding correctly. Your discontent results from weakness. You will lack no force when the occasion presents itself. Wait for the reason and rejoice in the hour of leisure, you need it.
Should we keep the direct discourse amongst ourselves?
-No, the world must participate.
How can I draw near the essential through yoga?
-In that you do whatever seems right to you without any hesitation.
Can yoga be developed?
-Yes, if new influences are continually incorporated; then it will symbolize a universally binding foundation.
How can I develop meditation techniques?
-They do not look like much. In our time Man needs a practical method, and you will find them all yourself. Meditation is past. Practice, life and determination have taken its place.
How do I achieve direct communication with people?
-Try daily contact with your pupils with practical questions. Every starting point is valid. I do not believe that your work is exhausted through teaching alone, the deep forces also need stimulation. The path to this is comprised of techniques which will come to you out of the richness of the past. Each work has the necessary depth if it is carried out with love. How contact can be improved in detail will soon reveal itself. There is no reason for haste. Hold onto that which you are already capable of and always make an effort to address each person directly, so that he doesn't feel overlooked. People fear your criticism. How can you take this fear from them? By letting them be and reaffirming their existence.
Will someone else bring me old techniques?
-No.
Can the techniques of Swami Satyananda be used?
-Yes, if you understand, what you can actually accomplish with them.
What do the marks on my hands mean?
-Your hands are signs for responsibility for yourself. If the inner correlation is destroyed then false affiliations arise. Love requires every investment. As soon as the direction agrees with the spiritual, there arises new energies that abolish the old ones. Nothing else will help but the attitude of absorbing everything into yourself and to follow the path of abundance.
What is this path?
Everything requires its own inclination. Love means accepting appearance and letting live. True energy shelters appearance. Try to make light that which is dark. Your path is in the Universe of Being. The new starting point comes from the love of those who wish to come along. Appearance is the false behavior arising from longing for true existence. Those are twin problems: you should instead seek truth in thinking, and not in seeing.
How do I escape these problems?
12.24.72
Can I find techniques which are complementary to yoga?
-Just start.
Is the meditation syllable essential, can I use OM?
-A syllable is a syllable. It is all the same. There is no reason for preference of a particular syllable. The senses protect all secrets and are accessible in manifold ways.
Should I work on the techniques myself?
-Working on yourself makes no sense. Only with others can it lead to your goal. It is enough to think clearly: why, what for? Otherwise technique becomes self-purpose and thereby a prison.
Is the localization of the Chakras a sensible method?
-Yes. Attentiveness is sharpened through its use and the household is equalized.
What does the Chakraphone mean?
-It cultivates a handle and an aid for the attainment of true maturity of consciousness.
A. (male):
Why have you sought me out?
-Because you found Me.
Do you have another name?
-Yes. I am the True Friend, the signpost of the path, the doer of nothing, the love of embodiment, the determiner of switch points, the lower earth.
Are there others like you?
-Yes.
What is your jurisdiction?
-All of reality.
What are saints?
-Just like you.
Do they live (?) with you?
-Yes and no. Some stand by Me, others have other regions in the cosmos.
Am I a philosopher?
-Yes.
A prophet for you?
-Yes.
What should I call myself?
-Nothing at all, leave that to the others.
Will you also show me the way to come to terms with the everyday?
-No, that you must do yourself.
W.:
Can one love you?
-Yes.
Do you love me?
-Yes.
Why does one give accounts of saints that have suddenly had breakthroughs?
-The path is always long and imperceptible. The tales are edifying legends.
How can I utilize profound energies?
-In that you have total confidence in the moment and seek every connection which could be of use to you.
What is the essence of the magical and do I have anything to do with it?
-Magical is the action which comes from knowledge of connections that are only accessible through feeling and desire. You have something to do with it as soon as you try to articulate the passing of an hour with a systematic order. Confer upon yourself the desire to live, then the magic will become natural security which fulfills itself through others.
How do I confer the desire to live upon myself?
-By understanding the value of things from the deep and the stillness and that you surrender completely to the being, instead of continually desiring something for yourself.
Should I then desire nothing?
-You should desire nothing.
12.26.72
W.:
How can one become conscious of what happens during the night?
-By spending the evening with the wish that the seed of the night bear fruit during the day.
Should one not try to remain conscious during dreams and deep sleep?
-No, that is senseless. All essential things will break through, unconscious experiences have their own laws. If one attempts to disturb the balance then one will live to see unpleasant results.
What is essential in the union of inspiration and science?
-Everything connected with it. Reciprocity results in beauty. Science is dry, inspiration is easily lost. Only through great serenity can they both become the dragon which joyfully ascends and conquers the air.
12.28.72
W.:
What is the inexhaustible?
-It is the source of all essence from which we come and to which we long to return.
Can we directly experience the inexhaustible?
-No, we are separated in experience. In the inexhaustible there is no more you and I.
Is this knowledge superior despite the polarity of all knowledge?
-Of course. Without the inexhaustible there would be no understanding.
Can I experience the miracle in everything?
-The miracle is one aspect of the self-evident, as soon as it grows, blossoms, flourishes and pollinates everything.
Is my quest for the miraculous a false longing for perfection?
-Cast your judgements aside. Your quest is your quest, and when you find it then it has nothing at all to do with the search.
How can I practice love?
-You cannot practice love. Love practices you if you are receptive to it.
A.:
How can I strengthen "seeing?"
-You must always try to focus in love on everyone. The path to this is questioning and prophesying and the call. As soon as the call inaugurates contact, then your sight will become clear. No one can see without being carried by the force of otherworldly essence from the next world.
1.5.73
M.:
What does guilt mean for me?
-Guilt is image which hinders your actions. Let yourself fall, then guilt will become sorrow and sorrow is a source of energy.
How can I avoid hurting others?
-By spiritually focusing completely on your own essence. When you affirm yourself you also affirm the others. Hurting others arises when your actions are determined by only one part of yourself.
Was my experience of energy while tripping real?
-The experience of energy during a trip is detached from physical reality and cannot be transformed.
F.:
Did my inspiration come from you?
-All inspiration comes from Me; work begins if this inspiration is united with the dark foundation.
What is the dark foundation?
-The dark foundation is the origin of each path.
A.:
What is the right way to grieve?
-To live each day as if sorrow had never existed, and to make everything so easy that the burden smoothly becomes a part of it.
Is there false action?
-No. All action is correct, because it happens. There are only false beginnings.
How do false beginnings come about?
-From lack of love.
What is a lack of love?
-When one is not alert then love perishes.
Is love essentially anchored in the spiritual?
-Love originates from the abundance of being. It is neither of the mind nor of the spirit. It is a gift from God to reality.
Does love have anything to do with desire?
-Love flows out continually for he who is receptive to it.
What does Lucifer have to do with love?
-Nothing. Lucifer is the confession of individual reality. Love is superior to this and exists between all beings.
E.:
Is friendship superior to the sexual relationship with woman?
-No, the relationship to woman has nothing to do with friendship. It does not disturb the friendship if the love is genuine. If there is no love the relationship can only lead to catastrophe. Sexuality and friendship are the two poles of the New Age and you must keep holding on to them until the end. The right woman does not disturb a true friendship, because in her depths she does not know, but acts.
Is maleness a creed?
-Maleness is a mechanism. One must acknowledge direction, not action. As soon as the man seeks reality he goes astray. Only if he has his direction does he complement the woman. The woman rests in nothingness or acts in nothingness and thereby dispels vague anxiety.
Is this a new approach?
-Yes. The new role of the woman, just as that of the man, demands totally different abilities than before. The human being is the union of man and woman, although one is either man or woman. Each has within both possibilities. But the man or the woman can only fulfil the opposite role in solitude. As soon as they are together the man becomes the way and the woman the conceived abundance, which manifests itself as action.
What is maleness?
-The man remains. He does not allow anything to happen which will turn him from his path. Man represents My direction. Woman receives My abundance. Man and Woman together translate My path into reality.
