1 Unstoppable, the darkness creeps ever more deeply into human consciousness. Almost the entire humanity is subject to a great error. People believe they can recognize the darkness in earthly visible evil and what is light in earthly visible good. Moreover they distinguish between dark or evil and light or good people. This distinction, however, ceased to exist on earth a long time ago. The darkness and its leaders have secured their position in the human brain to such an extent that they are able to exert their influence anywhere it seems to serve their purpose. The darkness will try to manipulate to its own purpose and with lasting effect every human act and decision. For this purpose it uses personal inclinations and weaknesses of those who pull the strings in a particular situation. It is unfortunately the case that at this time weaknesses, as soon as they are tolerated, have a much stronger attraction for man than does good volition which allows the darkness to draw from practically unlimited resources. It helps itself to all kinds of propensities or addictions or even seemingly harmless trivialities. All of these human flaws are the largest field of activity for dark souls from the deepest depths. Whereby darkness in these cases is not to be seen as evil but frequently as wearing a humanitarian mask thereby even having the appearance of being good. People meaning to be helpful are especially exposed to this danger and deception as soon as they give room to any kind of propensity. Mere trivialities already reveal the skill with which the darkness operates. Let us use a pertinent example A person wishes to deepen his intuitive perception., As soo n as he succeeds in this it may happen that he is interrupted by another. The person causing the disturbance gets the feeling suddenly and out of nowhere that he wants to contact him. If the firstmentioned person does not have time for the other he is accused of being indifferent or the like. This may be a colleague at work, or a family member, a friend or acquaintance, whoever happens to be available to the darkness for the particular purpose at the time. In this example the darkness, through whispered promptings, uses the inclination of the disturber toward egoism or jealousy. Put it to the test and you will be surprised to see how many people are suddenly concerned about you. Many people, through some kind of inclination have become socalled sleepers who the darkness simply can get hold of when needed. These may otherwise be the best people. In this manner the darkness disturbs and irritates much light activity. It can happen to you too; the darkness uses you for a moment if you leave your post only for an instant 1

2 by giving in to some inclination or other in your feelings. There are countless examples, every form of ambition, vanity and jealousy are but a few of them. Sometimes they are the most harmless things which, nevertheless, have momentous consequences. Mostly at risk are plans and projects that originate under yearning for the Light. False ambition or selfrighteousness allow dark influences,unnoticed, yet insidiously to detract more and more from the actual goal. Often it is the secret desire, unrecognized yet deeply rooted in vanity, to set a memorial to oneself which leads to downfall. Very many institutions and organisations as well as buildings, churches, temples have already become areas of influence of the darkness. One of the main evils here is the fact that man has completey lost the ability to discern what is influenced by the Light and what is influenced by the darkness. The reason for this is that the intellect and the feeling which is coupled to it, judges everything on the basis of earthly visible success. This applies to churches, medicine, politics as well as in all human affairs as for example in the case of appeals for worldwide aid. But the greatest ruse of the darkness is to purposefully use evil in order to then, with intellectual cunning, fight the same at the side of man. In this way it insidiously creeps into man s trust. At the same time it makes karmic events such as diseases and disasters appear to be unjust thus breathing an accusation against God into man s emotions with the purpose of relegating man s need for faith into the world of legends and fantasy. Instead, with today s form of technology, it strengthens faith in the intellect and gives mankind the kind of power in which they see the only possibility of solving all problems globally. Problems that were only introduced through whispered promptings by the darkness in the first place. Just one example of how the darkness makes it completely impossible for humanity to recognize the true Creation Laws: organ transplants and the attempt to eliminate diseases through prenatal gene manipulation. He who knows these Laws, however, will only feel horror at all these developments. So it happens that light happenings will be cursed as being unjust and happenings that are influenced by the darkness will be seen as blessings from Heaven. Yet there are many who in the depth of their soul already have an inkling of how through this kind of Science and Technology which would play the role of Creator, man is digging his own grave. The darkness exerts its influence more and more tenaciously, recognizing that sooner or later the Laws in Creation make a process of reversal inevitable. The darkness is fully aware of this but wants to see the entire humanity destroyed at the same time of its own destruction. 2

3 The goal is the manipulation and power of the world of the intellect and of emotion so that humanity can realize the meaning of life only in materially visible success. The Message and human feeling. It is a tragedy to see how even the words of the Message are interpreted by so many humans on earth more and more through their feelings in ways that were not intended. In view of he fact that the words are the formed Word, i.e. initially empty material forms, it is not hard to understand that a reader can put a different content from the one originally intended into this form The Word Itself is alive. With the Message Imanuel laid a channel from above into the material world. But this channel be opened from below to above only through the intuitive perception of the spirit. In this way, through the formed word, the Living Word can work in the gross-material world, thus granting the earth an anchorage from the Light which provides the possibility of the power for ascent to reach man even in the deepest darkness. This happens as soon as the human Spiritual and its intuitive capacity virtually attract this power by becoming ablaze. Only in this way the formed word, the channel, becomes the Living Word. In the event, however, that when reading, man s feeling, which is coupled to the intellect, is given more room,most of the impact of the Word is lost. Without being noticed the meaning is redirected into one that is dominated by feeling, also needing the intellect, since in this case the basis for conviction and examining can only be the logic of the Laws but never the experiencing in the intuitive perception. Now the purpose of examining does not lie in recognizing the cold logic in the Word but in experiencing a harmonious resonance in the soul. This process is accompanied by clear recognition of the living Truth. Although logic is always a natural side effect, it serves exclusively the intellect which finds answers to its questions therein. Although in its form it remains the same Word it can have different effects on man. One will find conviction in logic, the other will find it in in experiencing. The former is easily put into words, the latter will be hard to fit into the form of the word. It needs not be explained which way will be more helpful for the ascent of the spirit Both kinds will be nourished by the living power, the feeling-dominated kind to a much lesser degree but sufficiently to allow the imagination to form its own images. In the latter case it is better to leave the intellect in control since it causes less harm initially. The reason for this is that feeling tends toward unpredictable religious fanaticism which is far more dangerous than the cold logic of the intellect which is predictable, although 3

4 only as long as it keeps the feeling in check. In the long run, however, this is hardly possible anymore since both work together in the pursuit of the same goal. Even if the intellect is never able to recognize the Truth as a whole, but will understand only the logical processes, it nonetheless is more predictable than the feeling; for the feeling will drive man into the deepest abyss of his own fantasies making him capable of the most questionable deeds which he will always be able to justify to himself The spirit that allows this is not only indolent but is primarily burdened heavily with vanity and vices which compel him to act in this way since they find their complete fulfillment therein. In this way it is possible that with the reading of the Message living power can be abused. Although the power is abused only to a small extent in this way it still offers the darkness survival possibilities. If, on the contrary, the intuitive perception were alive the power would enable it to destroy entire hordes of dark spirits and demons. The reason why man on earth yields this power to feelings is founded in his weaknesses which he lets run wild in his soul by way of his proclivities,vices and evil predilictions. Any man who strives toward the Light which allows him to open the channel to Life, immediately becomes an anchorage point for the darkness through a proclivity he is attached to. Unfortunately, the condition of the earth at this time is such that there is no one on earth who is not afflicted with one weakness or another. Therefore the darkness likes to let such people live carefree. The motivation for many an activity is hardly taken into consideration where it initially seems to serve the cause. If the one concerned would pay attention and see the ethereal processes he would soon know better and recognize that his activity causes a wrong radiation even though it sometimes serves a good purpose; he often assumes that the end justifies the means. All the ringleaders of the darkness observe in the background and wait until a light task is coming close to its end. They are looking out for all light happenings, knowing only too well that all they have to do is at the critical moment use man s weaknesses in order to direct everything to their own paths. Frequently they cause only trivial disturbances in order to cause many a delay. In case of important events they use personalities who are highly regarded since their opinions carry great weight. As soon as the rulers of the darkness have made a conquest through man s weaknesses they like to keep up the appearance of everything continuing to run in the old way. But if there still are some alert spirits that might jeopardize their prey they give free reign to their troops which will then destroy everything. Seldom will the spirits that have remained alert succeed in calling to action light fighters with their thoughts so as 4

5 to escape the destruction since they realized too late what was happening in their environment. They were lukewarm and not at their post. Again and again the darkness exerts its strongest influence in the close family ties and in nepotism and issues surrounding succession. The darkness intervenes in every form of hierarchy in the same way. Wherever prestige, money and power play a role or are granted the darkness deploys all of its influence. Here, the Light retreats unless the human Spiritual, through good, unselfish volition enables light fighters to intervene. One of the most disastrous examples of this is found in antiquity. Whoever has read the series Past Eras Awaken knows of the drama around Echnaton and his daughter Nofretete. Echnaton once established a light kingdom in what is now Egypt. For many years he lived in the fulfilment of this task and it resembled a paradise on earth. Yet one flaw was embedded deep in his soul and only during the last third of his life it took more and more hold of him. It was his ambition to find a successor who would maintain the kingdom which he had created for posterity and in accordance with his ideas. Instead of trying to find out the plans of the Light in this matter he preferred to let his intellect be the guide being of the opinion that this was an earthly problem which could be solved only in an earthly way. He decided on his successor himself whom he believed to have found in Tut-ench- Amon. He did not listen to warnings, not even to that of his daughter Nofretete. Thus the fate of this light kingdom was sealed. When Echnaton realized the mistake he had made it was already too late. Tut-Ench- Amon did not relinquish his power. He destroyed Echnaton and his light kingdom, then led it under the rule of Babylon and his own lord Amon behind whom there was no other than Lucifer. From then on it was Lucifer who ruled over Egypt. At first he saw to it that Egypt was wealthy and its people well-off. But that wealth was enforced by oppression and segregation and founded on the poverty and suffering of the people. From this story humanity can learn how even most highly called ones with high missions can, through a single flaw that is attached to them, be manipulated by the darkness at the critical moment. Tut-Ench-Amon was not the problem but Echnaton s flaw, which was his ambition to find a successor. THIS WAS NOTHING BUT A FORM OF VANITY. And the same will happen today to any Light-striving human spirit if he keeps nurturing his proclivity. He must reject anything that might feed his proclivity in any way., 5

6 If he does not do so the darkness will catch up with him sooner or later since his proclivity is the long leash on which the darkness keeps him without him noticing it. In the false belief that he is still acting in the Light he will lead everything toward the darkness or to certain downfall. The darkness recognizes immediately every weakness no matter how small, which a man considers harmless and not to be taken seriously. It waits until its time has come to play this trump card by whispering promptings while carefully making sure that the proclivity always gets sufficient nourishment. OFTEN THESE ARE ONLY THE MOST HARMLESS FRIVOLITIES. However, it is also precisely here that the best possibility of defense exists. For if the spirit does not allow this, the propensity must sooner or later dry up and will no longer be able to bother the former host unless the latter again lets it into his unsuspecting emotional space. This is the fight that man has to fight with himself by not giving room to his own weaknesses no matter how small they may appear. However in this process man must never focus on observing himself, as described in the Lecture Ponderers. Thus, the goal is not to fight against the propensity itself, rather not to do anything that might darken one s own radiation while at the same time trying to recognize what might cause darkening. We know that man mostly has one weakness which however manifests in ever new forms. It is of no benefit to him if he sheds one weakness after another while at the same time allowing others to persist; for this guarantees access to the darkness. There is but one chance to avoid this: by not giving room to one s own weaknesses, primarily when they influence one s feeling. It is of no benefit to man if he has served thhe Light all his life but in the end he has extended a hand to the darkness through his own personal flaw. To witness such a downfall is unspeakably sad and at the same time terrifying and hard to believe, yet there is nothing one can do about it since only the person concerned can solve it for himself. But it is still much more alarming to watch how in the meantime, through such a human evil, i.e. vain intellectual curiosity, the darkness is now reaching for the Word ever more brazenly so as to analyze It with cold objectivity. The darkness uses clear logic and in a sense tries to use the form of the Message for its purposes in seeking to use the logic of the Laws in training the intellect to thoroughly understand these Laws as if the Word could be studied like a science. In this way the Word is perfectly cut into pieces and analyzed for the intellect in the same way that a surgeon is able to skillfully dissect a body in which he will discover everything without ever recognizing the spirit. On the contrary, he will insist that the spirit does not exist sincde he did not find it. 6

7 The same thing happens to the one who takes the Message apart into individual parts in order to quote from It. He knows exactly where to find which word and is able to brilliantly explain with his intellect the gigantic areas of activity of logic. However, it is inevitable that he, like the pathologist, will not find the spirit since he reduced the Word to the point where It can hardly penetrate into the intuitive perception. The intellect is never able to follow the spirit in the recognition through experiencing. Therefore, anyone assigning the main role in understanding the Message to the intellect will never realize Its true value. Only the intuitive perception can intervene through admonishing, if it is not firmly walled up inside the intellect; for if it is, then human feeling surfaces so as to give its stamp of conviction. The Message as explanation The Message as Fulfilment He who reads the Grail Message intently will soon realize that Abd-ru-shin used two forms of writing for His Message, one being an explanatory form, the other being the form for the Fulfilment. The explanatory form is primarily concerned with the logic of the Laws and as such clearly addresses the intellect, which was and still is necessary for life on earth. The form for fulfillment, on the other hand, was meant for, next to other important releases, the awakening of the spirit. Abd-ru-shin wrote many lectures that were never meant for the intellect but were written only as fulfillment. The latter are the much more significant ones for they released all necessary processes. These are texts that cannot be comprehended by the intellect even though the intellect claims them for itself. Most of them originated under the influence of Imanuel which began with the Cosmic Turning Point in 1929 and reached its pinnacle in 1931 with the completion of the Message and the start of the Resonances. After this the years from would become Abd-ru-shin s hardest years on earth; for He slowly began to realize that mankind would fail. What was most painful for Him, however,was the fact that His closest environment, those that formed the Ring, did not stand at their post. How was it possible for them to fail so abruptly, after they had received so much power, so many gifts and blessings. Uncomprehending He stood before the terrible weakness and lukewarmness of these spirits: slowly but surely He gained the certainty that this humanity could hardly be saved anymore in the way intended. Not even 10% of the called Ones had found their way to Him and some of them had left or even betrayed Him. For some of them their time had not come yet, primarily those in 7

8 the field of Science who were still awaiting the call. Those, however, no longer had the opportunity. Imanuel retreated and a few hard and sad years remained forabd-ru-shin; years of waiting and seeing how the human spiritual would now develop. In 1939 it was clear that the Ring was broken; Abd-ru-shin was arrested. Now the earth could no longer be saved. A new way would have to be found in order to save at least a part of this humanity. Abd-ru-shin paved a new way of salvation for but a few on which they could still save themselves. A glimmer of hope remained. Mankind might still come to its senses in view of the approaching time. Part of this new way included the slowing down of the world of gross matter which made it necessary also to extenuate the form of the Word. With the Message of last hand, between 1939 and 1941, Abd-ru-shin to a large extent separated out texts and passages which were of the explanatory form. Abd-r-shin also revised the sequence of the Lectures since A MESSAGE THAT WAS NOW PRIMARILY EXPLANATORY required a different structure. However, He let stand some important Fulfillments so as to touch the soul in mysterious ways here too. To this purpose are the following Words: Holy is the Word as well as the lectures The Stranger, Once upon a Time and The Guardian of the flame. These seem to be the most important Fulfilment Lectures in the new version. Some lectures, especially the first 22 (Admonitions) reveal a mixture of Explanation and Fulfillment. This, however, occurred only to the degree that the Explanatory parts would not be crushed by the Fulfilling parts whereby it was most important to remove all direct references to Imanuel. Thus the Message of last hand was structured primarily in an objective and logical way, its main purpose being an explanation of the world, including a basis for science and research. Had everything proceded as intended by the Light and had mankind recognized Imanuel in Abd-ru-shin, the Son of Man would have become the leader of the Sciences in any case. At that time already human spirits had been incarnated who, although inclined toward Science, already had a connection with the Word. These were to form the bridge to Science which at that time was supposed to happen by means of the original Message. Einstein is but one example; he was meant to be one of the most important key figures.oppenheimer and Werner von Braun were part of this group too. But their time had not yet come since they were to penetrate deeper into Science so as to gain more influence and popularity. On account of the wrong development in Germany after 1939 they did not find their way to the Message and lost themselves in their own scientific research. It soon became 8

9 obvious that through the deep downfall of the earth and the rigid intellect there was no possibilityof forming a bridge from science to the Truth since the intellect of the scientists was such that they needed to be led to the Message even more by way of logic. For the development of mankind, however, it was absolutely necessary to form this bridge between Science and the Message which would have drawn the attention of mankind and make them take notice. These highly Called Ones, however were caught up in their Science and did not find their way to the Message. Even later on, however, there were a few who were called for this purpose after having studied the Sciences. They would have instantly recognized the explanations as being correct since their research had afforded them insight into the Lawfulness. Thus everything was prepared for the Word to still reach all of humanity. Only one name will be mentioned here, Hoimar von Ditfurth. Whoever read his books and observed his mission is aware of what a mature spirit was anchored in him. Yet he did not find his way to the Message for the reason already described in the Proclamation. Everything was so clear and simple, even after the failure, if only the intellect of those responsible in the Grail happenings on earth had not established its own logic.as much as the Laws of Creation cannot be separated from logic, the intellect can turn this same logic into disaster. Logic must be the means to an end but must never become an end in itself for it would then be dominated exclusively by the intellect. The Message of last hand was an act of desperation by the author which He - in the throes of a death struggle from burning up inwardly, a process that lasted several months wanted to throw out as a lifeline for the entire earth. This form was more accessible to the cold intellect now dominating the earth. The Fulfillments which were retained, however, continued quite independently to have their effect on the spirit. The original Message on the other hand with all the Fulfilments and a different structure reaches far beyond what the intellect can comprehend and leads it to spiritual heights. It is only through the original text of the Message that the channel described in the first part of this writing can really be opened in order to connect it with the Life. Therefore, only the original version of the Message can be called the Living Word. The earth can be lifted in the cycle of radiation under the influence of the ray of Imanuel only in the connection to this living Word. The question of whether the Son of Man must be physically present for this must remain unanswered at this point. Wether or not the Laws require this is not revealed to my spirit, no matter how much the intellect would like to have such an explanation. We know that Abd-ru-shin had to live as a man among men for a long time in order to discover man s erroneous ways and to find a way back out. On the basis of this 9

10 experience He was able to write the explanatory part of the Message. To gain these experiences He needed to be incarnated in a physical body. It is also said, however, that for the Judgment He will come in the clouds. According to this, there is no requirement of a gross-material sojourn, rather merely an activity into the gross-material. For it seems to me that coming in the clouds might be an indication of His presence in a lighter materiality into which the earth first needs to be raised. I see it as a grave danger and a snare of the darkness to let people think that only the Light and the Son of Man personally can raise the earth. It may happen quickly that souls will then sit back in their indolence letting events take their course in order to jump on the train at the right moment. There are many Crossbearers anyway who believe that it is enough to be good about reading the Grail Message and to live accordingly, if possible in ways which are not too unworldly, as well as to regularly attend Hours of Worship and Festivals in order not to be lost. Therefore it cannot be made clear enough how indispensable the cooperation of man is in this process. It is much like the image of a man drowning,to whom a lifeline is thrown. If he does not grab it, thinking that the lifeline will save him WITHOUT HIS COOPERATION he will drown. Therefore, the call goes out to you once more : If you fail the world will fall And furthermore the admonition sounds through the universe: Seek, mankind, seek for the Fulfilment since It is the only certain way to your salvation.: Signed Simon 10
