Now, however, I can go further in these matters and furnish a picture which soberly reflects the processes in all that happens. This description is novel, but it changes nothing of my previous descriptions. Everything remains exactly as I have stated, and it is real! What I am now saying only appears new because this time I put it in a new light!
In so doing I provide a solid foundation – a large bowl, so to speak, into which man can place everything already mentioned in the Message as the constantly moving, effervescent contents, combined into one whole, something which unquestionably belongs together and intermixes.
Thereby man can obtain a comprehensive survey of all the great happenings hitherto unknown to him, including his own existence and inner development, which survey is quite inexhaustible to him and harmonises in every way!
The hearer and reader should now try to picture in his mind what I am about to unfold!
Life, real Life, is something completely autonomous, something completely independent. Otherwise it could not be designated as “Life”. Such Life is in God alone! And since besides God nothing is truly “living”
It follows that He alone holds the power which lies in Life. Thus He and He alone is the Primordial Power, or simply the “Power”, so often referred to! And again, in this Power there is Light! Here again the expression “Primordial Light” is just as false as the expression “Primordial Power”, for there is but One Light and One Power – God!
The existence of God, of Power, of Light, i.e., of Life, alone inevitably brings into being the Creations, for the Living Light, the Living Power, cannot but radiate! And these radiations contain all that is necessary for Creation!
The radiations, however, are not the Light Itself!
Hence all that exists outside of God has its origin only in the radiations of God. This radiation is a natural effect of the Light, however, an effect that has always existed from all eternity.
The strength of the radiation is naturally greatest in the proximity of the Light, so much so that there can be no other movement in it than the “perfectly straight line” movement, which is an intrinsic quality of the radiation. Thus it issues from God and proceeds for fabulous distances, the extent of which a human spirit is unable to imagine!
When, however, this inflexible forward propulsion, which is equivalent to an immense and constant pressure, comes to the point where it at last eases off a little, the nature of the movement changes from the hitherto straight line to a circular movement.
This circular movement is produced by the attraction of the Living Power simultaneously pulling back all that has been flung beyond the border of the full radiation to that point where only the straight line movement predominates.
In this process the rotating movements take on an elliptical form, because they are not independent movements, but only produced by this flinging-out-of-the-mainstream and the subsequent pulling back through the attraction which rests in the Power, that is, in God Himself!
Moreover the process of dividing the radiation into positive and negative species, which takes place after the radiation leaves the Sphere of Divine White-Heat, also plays a part here!
In these rotating movements, in which the immense pressure of the original radiation has diminished, a slight cooling off also takes place in the course of nature. This in turn causes a certain deposit to be precipitated.
This deposit sinks deeper or recedes further away from the original strongest radiation, but is still held by the all-pervading attraction of the Power. Yet it simultaneously retains enough of the straight line impetus of the radiation to again produce new rotating movements, which always remain within very definite but quite different limits.
Thus one deposit after another is precipitated and corresponding elliptically rotating planes of motion form, which bring accumulations of substance and finally ever more solid forms, receding further and further away from the Original Radiation and its enormous forward pressure!
The gradations thus produced form planes in which definite species link together and settle, conforming to the degree their temperature has cooled off. I have already described these planes or species in my Message as being the great fundamental planes of Spiritual Substantiality in the uppermost region of Creation, under which successively range the Spheres of Animistic Substantiality, of Ethereal Substance, and finally of Gross Matter, with their many sub-divisions.
It is quite natural that the more perfect species should remain higher, thus closest to the Point of Origin, because they most nearly resemble It and are most strongly affected by the attraction of the Living Power!
As I have already said this radiation of the Light working in such an incomprehensible way has always existed from all eternity!
But God did not allow this radiation to penetrate further and act beyond the limits at which the forward drive of the stream still forms an absolutely straight line, so that the pure Divine Radiation still remained luminous and clear without any cooling off and consequent precipitations.
This formed the Divine Sphere which, as with God Himself, is eternal! In this clear transparency there could never be any dimming, nor can there be any swerving aside or change. Only perfect harmony with the Source, with the Light Itself, was possible. And this sphere is inseparably connected with God, because this radiation of the Living Power, being its natural effect, can never be avoided!
To this Divine Sphere, which because of its close proximity to the Living Power is subjected to a pressure incomprehensible to the human spirit, belongs the actual Castle of the Grail as the most extreme outpost and anchorage, as a terminating counter-pole, so to speak! This still stands within the Circle of Divinity and has therefore existed from all eternity and will remain unchanged for all eternity, even if in times to come Creation would have to fall to ruin!
Thus it was from all eternity! It is something the human spirit is unable to comprehend!
It was not till God, in His Volition, sent forth the great words: “Let there be Light!” that the rays shot out over the limit hitherto set them into the Universe, then in utter darkness, carrying movement and warmth! This was the beginning of Creation, which gave birth to the human spirit and could become his home!
God, Who is Light, does not need this Creation! Should He again limit His Radiation to its unavoidable minimum, so that only a Sphere of Divine Purity would remain into which no dimness can ever enter, as it was in the beginning, then the end of all that has been subsequently created would be at hand! Man would then also cease to exist, as he can be conscious only within Creation!
