W here there is no love or only
little love, nothing can grow.
Nothing can flourish.
There may be a brief flicker,
which then dies down.
Love is the fuel for our life
and for what we do.
So we must ask ourselves:
Is what we do only a flicker
or is it born out of love?
We have to learn and experience
that God is present.
We experience this only when
we tune out again and again,
when we withdraw for a
short time and become calm.
W ho is God?
God is creator.
God is strength; God is light;
God is the infinite
All-Intelligence.
God is the stream.
God is the life.
God is the law of love.
We human beings breathe
because God is the life in us.
God is in the very basis
of our soul.
It is the power and
the law of infinity.
Life cannot cease living.
Life is the invincible,
unceasingly flowing stream of light,
of divine energy.
No energy is lost.
Life is God, and the one who
fulfills the will of God lives.
He will neither feel nor
taste death.
The one who is willing to
question himself, to fathom
and recognize himself
in the situations of the day
is a winner.
We should become aware that no
person can leave his life on earth
up to others, nor to an external
religion. Every person is called by
the great Spirit to refine himself
and to ennoble his character.
To pray means:
To empathize
and bear responsibility.
How often do we look to see
that we are well?
Do not look to be well
from without; it is in you.
And our spiritual motto is:
I transform myself
from within to without.
I work on my all-too-human
aspects, so as to become a new
person, because it does me well
and I am well.
I am free.
To fill our thoughts with strength
and life means that already
in the morning
we begin by affirming
CHRIST in us.
Let your fellowman be free.
Do not force him
to do what you want or
what you could do yourself.
It is the Christ of God who
goes with me, who is with me
at my work, who is with me no
matter what may happen to me.
He wants me to recognize myself
in everything that moves me
and to clear it up with His
strength, so that a new person
may emerge, the renewal of life
that comes from within.
For to live in Christ
makes us happy.
To live in Christ is the gain in life
that we need so very much—
particularly in our time,
particularly in this troubled world.
Christ calls:
Come to Me, to Christ in you.
Come and entrust yourself to Me,
the Christ in you. Pray from your
heart and fulfill your prayers.
I, the Christ of God in you,
make you happy, free and healthy.
Active faith means:
I recognize my egotistical behavior,
those things to which
I have bound myself: to the chains
of not wanting to let go.
I will change this, my behavior.
And the one who changes it
and fulfills the teachings
of Jesus, the Christ, step by step,
journeys to within and changes
himself into a new person,
who is good.
And this, we can take
with us into eternity.
Love your fellowman from your
heart. Do good and experience
the unity of the cosmic being.
Experience the power of nature.
Be good to Mother Earth,
to everything that she bears,
and you will live and walk on the
trail and in the trail of inner light.
W here there is no character
there is no sense of duty either.
The opposition, the adversary,
fears nothing more
than unity and togetherness.
For he says:
Divide, bind and rule,
and the Spirit says:
Link and be.
Do not be rubbed wrong
by what you don’t like
about your neighbor;
otherwise you will be hit
with far more of it
than you already have.
Reciprocate
with the power of mercy—
that is greatness.
In gratitude lies strength.
In gratitude lies help.
Even when it is ever so hard for
us—a heartfelt thank you lends us
strength, help and lets us
sense the nearness of God.
As long as we are dependent
on people, even though they
rejoice with us, the joy is merely
superficial, and we expect
our neighbor’s encouragement
and ultimately, his energy, as well.
A sentence from the Lord:
If you do not learn to live,
you will not learn to give either.
And the one who does not
give selflessly takes.
He is poor and grows more
and more impoverished.
That is the fall of this world.
How can we gain trust
if we cannot trust ourselves,
if we ourselves do not know
what we are thinking?
And if we ourselves do not
know what we are thinking,
we do not know who we are.
And if we do not know
who we are—
how can we then turn to God,
and how can we
then achieve trust?
To trust means:
I rely on God.
And if I rely on God,
then I have to tear down
my human aspects,
so that I can rely on Him.
Only in this way,
does trust grow.
In the whole world, there is nothing
that ennobles a person’s
character so inestimably,
that harmonizes his nature
and lends his disposition
a peaceful unison as the eternal,
cosmic love that comes from God.
People who surrender to God’s love
grant selfless joy to their fellowman,
because they also give selflessly,
without expecting
thanks and acknowledgement.
Be enthusiastic
about what you do for God
and for your neighbor—
be it the slightest work—
then you will attain further
capabilities, which still
slumber in you, for you
are greater than you think.
W here is the experience of God?
We think it must be something
very grandiose, monumental.
Oh no! It is in the song of a bird.
It is in the breeze
that wafts about us.
It is in the blade of grass
that we consciously perceive,
in the fragrance of a rose.
And if we become aware of this
from our heart, we begin
to think away from
our small egotistical world.
In the great cosmic event,
everything that is pure
keeps the commandment of love.
To experience this in our heart
makes us free.
In the long run,
we are served only
by what serves everyone.
God-pleasing thoughts and deeds
make others happier
and stronger in hope
and at the same time
return fortified to your heart.
Cause harm to no person,
neither person nor animal
nor plant or stone.
God is not only for older people.
God is for the youth;
God is for so-called adults;
God is for older people.
God is always present and
gives totally of Himself.
Get to know and experience Him,
by following Jesus,
and you will have the best friend
consciously at your side.
If people would encounter
each other as they should,
then each would share
the responsibility for
the good in this world
and bring a sense of well-being
to man, animal and nature.
A form of theft also consists
of taking energy from
our neighbor, in that we
—be it only in thought—
preoccupy ourselves with him
until he becomes aware of us
and does for us what we
do not want to do ourselves.
Free is solely the person
who lives according
to the All-law of love,
freedom and unity.
Gentleness is also humility:
To withdraw myself and be silent
when my neighbor thinks
he knows better.
I can then give an explanation,
but when he still thinks he knows
better, then I am silent.
This is also the right
kind of humility,
because God knows
about all things.
We are not alone.
The darker it becomes on earth,
the more the light of God comes.
Let us set out for the light—
and we will also receive it
in the darkest
and gloomiest time.
In being faithful to responsibility
lies conscientiousness, concentration
and consistency, purposefulness
and brotherliness.
W hoever takes his life in hand,
that is, who resolves for
a spiritual goal,
becomes sensitive.
He will question himself
more and more, for example:
What I think, say or do,
is it the life, or is it unholy?
Is it thus against the law of God?
Jesus wanted the inner religion,
the devotion to the great,
almighty, eternal love,
to the law of freedom,
of beauty, of justice,
to the cosmic eternally ruling law,
which is God,
and which is in the very basis
of every soul and every person.
External love covets—
inner love gives.
W hat would the earth be
without animals?
What would the earth be
without plants?
Could we, at all, live?
We could not live.
We must learn what unity means,
then we will experience
the language of the animals,
of the plants. Yes, we will hear
the orchestra of Mother Earth.
Then we will torment no animal
anymore. Wars will stop—
person against person.
We will become friends,
brothers and sisters in the
spirit of our big brother, Christ.
