YOU MUST TAKE ALL OR NOTHING!

In “EPILOGUE”, it is stated:

I brought you the Message which earthmen need if they want to ascend spiritually! Just examine it aright! At best, however, you find it beautiful . . . and immediately ask about things which in any case you will never be able to understand! And which are therefore of no use to you either!

But when once you have inwardly absorbed the entire Message aright, and have experienced every word of it within yourselves, once you have lived it through in order to transform it into deeds as a matter of course in your existence on earth, then it will become your own like the flesh and blood you need for the fulfilment of your wandering on earth.

If you act in this way it follows that you will no longer ask these questions; for then you will have become knowing, as knowing as a human spirit is capable of becoming! And with this the nonsensical wishing also simultaneously ceases; for through the knowledge you have become truly humble, have cast off the weaknesses of your human vanity, of haughtiness, of the conceit of your own pseudo-knowledge, and all the many faults which a human spirit has acquired.

Thus whoever asks these and similar questions still sleeps on in the indolence of his spirit, only imagining he is thereby emphasising alertness of spirit and the strong urge to seek. He is no different from a child who wants to run a race before it has even learned to walk!

Neither can you pick out individual passages from the Message just as they suit you or interest you; for interest is not sufficient for spiritual learning, it extends only to the intellect, not to the spirit, which requires more!

You must take all or nothing!

It is true that genuine seeking can arise out of interest, but not easily, only very seldom! Zeal is also harmful, for it induces one to make jumps that paralyse the powers. Stride forward calmly, word by word and sentence by sentence, not reading and not learning, but trying to absorb everything I gave you in pictures just as in life.

Dig yourselves into my words, and then, indeed only then, will you be able to get a faint idea that you hold the Word of Life in your hands, the Word which lives Itself, which was not composed of anything that was learned or thought out!

ADDITIONAL FOOD FOR THOUGHT

1. The honest volition for what is good, for something better, reinforced by a truly heartfelt prayer, will bring redemption!

2. “Love thy neighbour as thyself!”

3. LET MY Word become alive within you; for this alone can bring you that benefit which you need, enabling your spirit to ascend to the Luminous Heights of the Eternal Gardens of God.

4. Thoughts operate in the World of Fine Gross Matter, words in the World of Medium Gross Matter, and visible actions take form in the World of coarsest, that is, densest Gross Matter. These three kinds of your activity are gross material!

5. If you could but once see how the immutable Justice of God’s All-Holy Will is always fulfilled in the self-acting Laws of this Creation for every single thought you harbour, you would strive with all your might to attain purity in your thinking!

6. The foundation for the upbuilding of a new humanity, which you cannot and must not evade, rests in the one sentence: Keep the hearth of your thoughts pure!

7. Therefore strive to free yourselves from all ties arising from base feelings; for it is high time! The hour approaches when the period allotted for this will have expired! Awake in yourselves the longing for the pure, the true and the noble! –

8. Why do you so often torment yourselves with mere earthly trifles which you perceive to be sin, but which are not really so.

9. The effect of these simple Laws brings every human spirit exactly to the place where, according to his inner attitude, he does belong. Any error here is impossible, because the manifestation of these Laws can only be set in motion by the inmost condition of a human being, which will, however, set it in motion without fail in every case!

Thus to bring this about the spiritual power of the intuitive perceptions which is in man is needed as the lever! Nothing else has any effect. For this reason only the real volition, man’s intuitive perception, is decisive for what develops for him in the world that is invisible to him, and which he must enter after his earthly death.

10. The words you form, the sentences, shape your outward fate on this earth. They are like seed in a garden which you build around you; for each human word is part of the most vital thing that you can weave for yourselves in this Creation.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

1. Listen, you despondent ones! Lift up your eyes, you who are seriously seeking: The way to the Highest lies open to every human being! Proficiency in learning is not the gate to it!

2. He who bears within himself the firm volition for what is good, and strives to give purity to his thoughts, has already found the way to the Highest!

3. Awake! Look around you! Listen to your inner voice! That alone can open the way!

4. An Eternal Law operates in the Universe: That only in giving can one receive where lasting values are concerned! Like a sacred legacy of its Creator, this Law deeply permeates the whole of Creation. To give unselfishly, to help where help is needed, and to understand both the suffering and the weaknesses of your fellow-men, means to receive, because it is the simple and true way to the Highest!

5. Keep the hearth of your thoughts pure, by so doing you will bring peace and be happy!

6. To believe without understanding is just indolence, mental laziness! It does not lead the spirit upwards, but presses it down. Look upward, therefore, we are to test and investigate. Not for nothing does the urge to do so lie within us.

7. Man will then never wish for evil things. He will joyfully grasp at the best support that exists for him: Love! Love for the whole wonderful Creation, and love for his neighbour, that he too may be led to the glory of this enjoyment, of this consciousness of power.

8. Therefore guard your word! Pay careful attention to your speech; for the human word is also a deed which, however, can only produce forms in the Plane of Fine Gross Matter, that sink into and have an effect on everything earthly.

9. Therefore pay attention to all words; for they hold joy or sorrow for you, they build up or disintegrate, they bring clarity but can also confuse, according to the manner in which they are spoken and applied.

10. And it is only genuine womanliness that silently educates the man who, supported by this quiet activity containing undreamed-of power, feels like storming the heavens.

THE MESSAGE OF ABDRUSHIN IN COMPLETE ACCORD WITH THE TRUE WORDS OF JESUS

In the lecture, “BELIEVERS MERELY OUT OF HABIT”, it is stated:

Let us take just one of them; for many an apparently quite good-willing church believer among the Christians says: “The Word of the Message is actually correct in many things, but it does not tell me anything new!”

Whoever speaks in this way has not grasped nor does he know the past which he believes he has already learned in his school or church, despite imagining to the contrary; for otherwise he should know that there is very much which is utterly new in the Message, but which is naturally not opposed to that Message which Jesus brought, because both issue from the same source, from the Living Truth!

What is new is not always equivalent to a negation of what is past, but it can also swing in the old and lead onwards in the upbuilding, in such a manner as it unites the actual Message of Jesus with mine.

However, just because my Message is completely in accord with the true words of Jesus, so many people when reading it intuitively perceive that there is nothing new in it! But only for the reason that the Message of Jesus and my Message are in reality one!

Therefore everything does swing uniformly, with the exception of what people in their sham wisdom have added to the words brought by Jesus, which is mostly wrong! Naturally my words cannot conform with what has been added or rendered differently. But with the words of Jesus Himself they agree absolutely!

And this intuitive perception about a similar swinging from the same origin, which the spirit recognises without the intellect being conscious of it, permits men to think, without giving it any reflection, that nothing new was given therein.

Such is one part of men! But others accept the new as a matter of course and as something already given once before, because they do not really know the old they thought they possessed, and therefore they have no idea what the new is that is contained in my Message for them.

Yet there is no lecture in my Message which would not indeed bring something that is perfectly new to the human spirits, something they have not yet known up till now!

Many people therefore neither know what they imagine they possess nor what I bring them! They are also much too indolent really to absorb anything at all from it within themselves!

For all those, however, whose spirit is at least capable of perceiving the uniform vibration of both Messages, this very fact should be proof that both Messages issue from one Source.

THE POWER OF SPEECH

It is written:

As a further help I therefore give you:

Heed your word! Let your speech be simple and true! In accordance with the Holy Will of God, it contains an ability to form in an upbuilding or also in a destroying way, depending on the nature of the words and of the speaker.

Do not squander these sublime gifts which God so mercifully granted you, but seek to recognise them aright in their full value. Up till now the power of speech has been a curse to you through such people, who as Lucifer’s satellites have misused it under the evil influence of the distorted and one-sidedly developed intellect!

Therefore beware of people who talk much; for with these goes disintegration. You, however, are to become upbuilding ones in this Creation, not talkers!

Heed your word! Do not talk merely for the sake of talking. And speak only when, where and how it is necessary! In the human word there shall be a reflection of the splendour of the Word of God, which is Life and will eternally remain Life.

You know that all Creation swings in the Word of the Lord! Does this not make you think? Creation vibrates in Him, as also do you yourselves, who are indeed part of Creation; for it arose out of Him and is maintained through this Word.

It has been clearly proclaimed to mankind:

“In the beginning was the Word! And the Word was with God! And the Word was God!”

Herein lies all knowledge for you, if you would only draw it. But you skim over it and do not heed it. Plainly it tells you:

The Word came out of God! It was and is a part out of Him.

A faint reflection of the power of the Living Word of God, which contains all and embraces all that is outside of God, a faint reflection of this also lies in the human word!

It is true that the human word is only able to send out its effect into the Planes of Fine Gross Matter, but that is enough retroactively to shape the destinies of men and also of peoples here on earth!

Remember that! He who talks much stands only on the ground of the distorted, one-sidedly developed intellect! The two always go hand in hand. By that you can recognise it! And these are words emanating from the low earthly planes, that can never build up. Yet in accordance with the Divine Law the word is to build up. Wherever it does not obey this command it can only bring about the opposite.

Therefore always heed your word! And stand to your word! You have still to be taught the right way to do this in the building up of the Kingdom of God here on earth.

YOUR MASTERPIECES ARE YET TO COME!

It is written in the lecture, “The Cycle of Radiations”:

Valuable is this knowledge concerning the links between your existence and everything still lying beyond that boundary which, owing to the origin of your spirit, will always remain strictly drawn in regard to your ability to understand!

That is also what I want to give you with the Message: The knowledge of the connections! The serious seeker and the person with a really honest volition will gain much thereby. You will yet learn to recognise the value of everything; for what men have so far called knowledge is hardly the hundredth part of what they really could know. It is true that the limit of the knowledge of mankind in relation to the entire Creation is small, yet in comparison to the existing knowledge it is of a greatness which you can hardly conceive and which verges on the wonderful!

And the glimpses alone into that which is always inaccessible to you will aid you in reaching these highest borders, when I give you a description of your connections therewith, as well as of the connections of your surroundings. This knowledge will in time give you the possibility to know with absolute accuracy the laws within the part formed by your boundaries, which would remain impossible without the help given in describing the connections with what is inaccessible to you.

Try now to understand me in this, and recognise what I want to give you! Do not seek to reach beyond the reality in this; for I only want to give you that which can further and benefit you within your boundaries, nothing more! More would be of no avail to mankind!

Therefore do not torment yourselves therewith, wishing to make your knowledge all that which lies in what is inaccessible for you! You will never be able to do this, and I do not speak of it so that you should now turn your knowledge in that direction or worry yourselves with vain attempts really and fully to grasp everything! You cannot possibly do so, nor do I give it to you for that reason, but you receive it from me for the very purpose of becoming acquainted with all the connections leading to you therefrom.

If later on you will always unswervingly base your future investigations and your desires to find upon this knowledge of the connections as giving you the direction, you will rise higher in all your capacities and achieve results in every field which must put all that has been obtained so far into the shade!

Thus, men, your masterpieces are yet to come, the achievements which you can actually bring about within the boundaries which are set up firmly for you and which you can never cross! In reality, however, these boundaries are set so wide for you that you may rejoice about this, and should only thank God for all the grace He bestows upon you.

Thus you must remain on the basis and soil of all humanity in your thoughts and actions, and in all your duties towards your Creator. Nothing more is demanded of you; for therein lies the highest which you can offer to Him as gratitude, and everything you do in this way is also done in His honour!

Indeed, it is in the performance of the greatest achievements, of which you as men can and must become masters, that you offer and present your gratitude for the fact that the Creator has granted you to achieve such great things through His Will in Creation, which holds His Laws.

And with these splendid achievements you also simultaneously honour Him because the greatness of your works at the same time manifests the greatness of His Grace! The more you can achieve in Creation from out of Creation the more clearly do you prove how great are the Laws of God therein, and what wealth and blessing they hold for you!

YOU CAN FIND ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS (3)

Abdrushin stated in the lecture, “The ring of animistic substantiality”:

All this you already know, and you can easily put together the basic knowledge for this out of my Message, but you must proceed in this matter like children, who make the effort to put the parts of a Chinese puzzle together correctly until a very definite picture arises therefrom.

It is in this way that you must make use of the knowledge from the Message, for it contains the foundation stones for all knowledge, and gives explanations for every happening in the whole of Creation!

If you want to achieve clarity about some matter in Creation or in your own life, about how this experience in the effect of the Primordial Laws must absolutely take place, you only need to lift any one of the many little individual stones containing something of the question which moves you, from among all the precious stones that can be found in the Message as a treasure that wants to be unearthed for you.

Just as with the game of putting Chinese puzzles or toy constructions together, you then seek to join from the Message that which fits this first little individual part. Finally you will obtain in this way a large picture standing completely by itself and compact in itself, which gives you a precise answer in pictorial form of that weaving of Creation which you desire to know.

If you follow my advice you will always succeed in obtaining a solution to everything in a form which will in any case become intelligible to you, and which will never let you go astray.

Just place the individual stones in such a way that they will fit in precisely with the first stone which you take from the treasure for your question. It is all the same whether this stone indicates the centre or should lie only to one side. The others belonging to it can always and only be so dovetailed or added that the final result is the very picture you need for an answer and the clarification of your question!

The stones never let themselves be placed in any other way, and you immediately realise when you have put just one part wrongly. This part simply does not fit in with the whole, and thus compels you to put it where it belongs, or to leave it out altogether if it does not belong there.

When you do this just think of a Chinese puzzle, which results in complete pictures or constructions when the individual parts given in a definite form for this purpose are put together logically.

This is the way I have given you my Message, which contains everything, but which forces you to co-operate in this yourselves! It does not allow itself to be taken up lazily as something standing there complete, but upon each of your questions you must exert yourselves to extract from it and put together that which will form the perfect picture.

That is the peculiarity of the Living Word, which forms and educates you and forces you to movement of your spirit!

Should you put a picture wrongly, through error or superficiality, you will quickly come to a stop and realise that it brings no harmony, perhaps because you put just one little stone in the wrong place or, according to its form, put it in such a way that it cannot fit that picture or construction you are striving for. Thus you cannot complete it, and must try ever again until it stands firmly and correctly put together before you!

Each stone can be used for many pictures, not only for one, but through its peculiarity you are forced to place it differently for each picture, always so that it will fit in exactly with the other stones.

If, however, the individual picture results in a complete whole, then you may be sure that your work in seeking was right!

You will never lack a stone in this, not the smallest part, for the Message contains everything you need! Just try it until this work becomes easy to you, then you will yourselves stand firmly in the entire Creation!

In my Word of the Message I give you the perfect “box of bricks” consisting of the best-cut precious stones, so that you can build with it yourselves! From the very beginning they are precisely arranged to meet all your needs. But you alone must construct the building, for this is how it is willed!

Now you know how you have to act, and I can proceed with my explanations about the animistic ring and its effect upon the Material Worlds, to which it simultaneously forms a bridge through its working, the ring which is really the termination of all that is mobile.

YOU CAN FIND ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS (2)

Abdrushin wrote:

Now strive to grasp my Message aright and to act accordingly!

I do not intend to place everything before you in a comfortable way after I have severed it into tiny pieces; for you, too, must bestir yourselves and add whatever lies in your strength.

I know precisely the limits of everything which the human spirits on earth are able to think, to perceive intuitively and to do, better even than you yourselves, and from the readers and listeners of my Message and of my explanations I expect the highest which the man of Subsequent Creation is able to achieve if they really want to follow me; for this is the right way which will benefit you according to the Will of God, Who demands movement and swinging along in the cycle of all the radiations penetrating Creation.

Therefore swing yourselves upward for this! What is possible to receive within the limits of your understanding that you must do! I leave it entirely to you and only give you the direction for it, laying foundations upon which you can and must now continue to build.

If you indolently want to refrain from personal work in these matters, and if you are only satisfied with absorbing within yourselves the sense of the Message without also applying it aright for further building, then you will derive no benefit from the Word; for its real value must thereby remain closed to you like a book with seven seals.

Only through your own movement will the Message open itself up for you, and pour rich blessings upon you! Therefore become active in spirit! With my Word I give you the impulse to do so!

YOU CAN FIND ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS (1)

Abdrushin wrote:

First of all with the greatest effort and expenditure of energy they should seek to draw from each lecture what it offers!

If then something does not immediately appear quite clear to them they must not look ahead in their seeking, but they must look back in the Message in order to delve therein and find enlightenment there.

And man will find it if in his spirit he lets the Message arise in pictures before him! He finds everything when he really seeks. Through this necessary seeking, however, the Message becomes continually clearer, stronger and more secure within him. Thus he learns to know it ever better and . . . to experience it! Just in this way I force him to do something that he would never do voluntarily owing to his spiritual indolence, which in part still hangs over all men.

Therein lies a guidance which he did not recognise, but which is an invaluable help to him in bringing my Message to life. He thus learns to recognise all that is expressed in the Message, all that it contains, about which he had so far no idea in spite of reading it.

He sees how he can delve into this Message and makes what appears to him the ever new discovery that indeed he does find everything therein; that it was only due to himself, to his weak manner of seeking, when so much escaped his attention previously.

Not one passage can be avoided thereby! And this is not asking too much for a knowledge of Creation! Whoever finds this too much will never be able to make an end of it!

I am trying to guide you along the path which is best for you. However, you must go along with me with firm steps, and you must not always desire to try and hurry ahead as do the readers whose superficiality I quoted to you as an example.

It is the same, too, with my last lecture about “Woman and man”. From what I know of people they will again have questions arising in their brains before they take the trouble to find an answer from the Message or in the lecture itself, and by no means last through observation of their fellow-men in the present life on earth.

It is just in this that you will discover the most, because in observing it through my Message it offers you abundant confirmation of everything I explained to you! But mark well, only when you regard it from the contents of my Message!

This stipulates that you must stand in the Message aright. If you are able to do so then you can immediately and exactly recognise everything, absolutely everything in your surroundings, and thus you become knowing, you become wise! You will then read in the life on earth just as one reads in a book. It is opened up to you for this purpose through the Message!

Just try it! Your eyes will then be quickly opened, and you will therewith have awakened. Do not shun any trouble to achieve what is so necessary!

It is not that you should only see the faults of your fellow-men in this way! That is not how it is meant, but you shall recognise life itself therein with all its consequences and changes, to which my Message is your guide and always will remain as guide in unchangeable faithfulness!

Only in life or through life itself will you recognise all the values of my Message, and not with your pretended knowledge. And through the Message you can in turn view life aright, in such a way as is beneficial for you. Here, too, everything works in a reciprocal way, and true knowledge only comes through experiencing!

In this way you will soon become one with the Message; it becomes life for you, because only from out of this life are you able to recognise it; for it speaks to you of life.

Therefore you must not seek to recognise the value of the Message in the book itself, but through the observation of life! With eager and most careful observation of all that happens around and within yourselves you must contribute to the possibility of finding the Message again in life, out of which it speaks to you.

That is your path to the true recognition of my Words, which must bring you benefit and in the end victory over Darkness! Therewith quite automatically you will receive the Crown of Eternal Life, which is being permitted to exist eternally as a self-conscious being in this Creation. Thereby you can then co-operate in its further development by spreading blessings for the joy and peace of all creatures.
