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.
