The Beatitudes

1. When Jesus saw the multitudes, He went on a mountain. And when He had sat down, the twelve came to Him. He looked up at His disciples, saying:

2. Blessed in the spirit are the poor, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are those who grieve, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will possess the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

3. Blessed are the merciful, for they will attain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will behold God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of God.

4. Blessed are you, when men will hate you and exclude you from their company and speak all sorts of evil against you and outlaw your names, for the sake of the Son of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap with joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For their forefathers did the same to the prophets. (Chap. 25:1-4)

Christ explains, corrects
and deepens the word:

The Sermon on the Mount is the Inner Path to the heart of God, which leads to perfection.

The blessed ones will behold the Christ and will possess the earth with Me, the Christ, in all meekness and humility. Happy the one who beholds the glory of the Father-Mother-God in all things! He has become the living example for many.

I guide My own to the recognition of the truth.

The one who is of the truth hears My voice, because he is the truth, and thus hears and perceives the truth, as well.

The blessed ones are fearless and joyful; for they perceive and hear what those do not see and hear, who still hide behind their human ego, holding on to it with utmost effort so that they are not recognized.

However, the blessed ones look into the dungeon of the human ego and recognize the deepest hidden thoughts of their fellow men. With the strength of their light-filled consciousness, they shine into it and call out to their fellow men:

“Blessed in the spirit are the poor, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven!”

The words “the poor” do not mean material poverty. It is not this that brings bliss in the spirit, but the devotion to God, from which the person fulfills all these things that are the will of God. This is the inner wealth.

The words “the poor” mean all those who do not strive for personal possessions and do not hoard goods. Their thinking and striving aims at the community life in which they administer the goods that God has given to everyone in a lawful way. They do not set their minds and aspire to having worldly things. They serve the common good and extend their arms to God and consciously walk the path to the Inner Life. Their goal is the Kingdom of God in their inner being, which they want to proclaim and bring to all people who are of good will. Their inner wealth is the life in God, a life for God and for their neighbor. They live the commandment “pray and work.”

They strive toward the Spirit of God and receive from God what they need for their earthly life and beyond that. They are the blessed in the Spirit of God.

“Blessed are those who grieve, for they shall be comforted.”

The grief of man does not come from God; it is either the grieving one who himself has caused it, or, in the realm of the souls, his soul has taken over a part of the debt of a brother or sister soul to pay off that debt in an earthly existence, so that the brother or sister soul can go into higher spheres of Inner Life.

God’s mercy will be granted to the one who bears his grief without accusing his neighbor, recognizing his faults and weaknesses in the grief, repenting of them, asking for forgiveness and forgiving. For God, the Eternal, wants to comfort His children and to take away from them what is not good and beneficial for their soul. For when the grief leaves the soul, that is, when the causes that became effective in the soul are settled, a person finds his way closer to God.

“Bear your grief” means: Do not complain about it; do not accuse God or your neighbor. In your grief, find the sinful behavior that led to it.

Repent, forgive and ask for forgiveness, and no longer do what you have recognized as sin. Then the debt of the soul can be erased by God and you receive increased strength, love and wisdom from Him.

If you meet a grieving and sorely afflicted person and he asks you for help, then support him and help him as far as it is possible for you and as far as it is good for his soul. And when you see that your neighbor thankfully accepts the help and builds himself up with it, then give him even more, if it is possible for you.

However, you who give help, do it selflessly. If you do it only as an external obligation, you will receive no spiritual reward – and you will render no service to the soul of the person who is suffering and is sorely afflicted, but only to his body, to the vehicle of the soul.

“Blessed are the meek, for they will possess the earth.”

Meekness, humility, love and kindness go hand in hand. The one who has become selfless love is also meek, humble and kind. He is filled with wisdom and strength.

People in My Spirit, the selflessly loving ones, will possess the earth. Oh see, the path to the heart of God is the path into the heart of selfless love. The peace of God flows out of selfless love.

The people who journey toward the heart of God and the people who already live in God work for the New Era, by teaching all willing people the path to God. In this way, they take possession of the earth more and more in My Spirit.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.”

The one who hungers and thirsts for the righteousness of God is a seeker of truth, who longs for the life in and with God. He shall be satisfied.

My brother, My sister, you, who long for righteousness, for the life in and with God, take heart and raise yourself out of the sinful human ego! Rejoice, for the time has come in which the Kingdom of God draws closer to those people who endeavor to keep the commandments of life.

Behold, I, your Redeemer, Am the truth in you. And so, in you, I Am the way, the truth and the life.

The truth is the law of love and of life. In the Ten Commandments, which are excerpts from the all-encompassing law of God, you find the retentive phrases for the path to the truth. Keep the Ten Commandments and you will draw ever more onto the path of the Sermon on the Mount, in which the path to the truth is fundamentally worked out.

The path to the truth is the path to the heart of God, to the eternal life, which is selfless love. The Sermon on the Mount is the pathway into the Kingdom of God, into the laws for the Kingdom of Peace of Jesus Christ. When you delve deeper into them and fulfill them, you attain divine wisdom.

Recognize that no one should hunger or thirst for righteousness. Take the first step toward the kingdom of love by first being righteous to yourself. Practice a positive way of living and thinking and you will very gradually become a righteous person. Then you will bring the righteousness of God into this world; and you will also represent this because you fulfill the will of God, the Lord, out of His love and wisdom.

Recognize: The time is near when what was prophesied takes place. The lion will lie by the lamb, because the people have gained victory over themselves – through Me, their Redeemer. They will form a great family in God and will live in unity with all animals and with all of nature.

Be glad, for the Kingdom of God has drawn close – and, with the Kingdom of God, I, too, your Redeemer and bringer of peace, the ruler of the Kingdom of Peace, of the World Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

“Blessed are the merciful, for they will attain mercy.”

The mercy of God corresponds to the gentleness and kindness of God and is, for all souls, the gate to the completion of life. The people who have unfolded in their souls all the seven basic forces of life – the law, from Order to Mercy – through Me, the Christ, who lives in the Father-Mother-God, will, as pure spirit beings, again enter selfless love through the gate of mercy. They will go into the Kingdom of God, the heavens, and will live in peace. The seventh basic force, the Mercy – called kindness and gentleness in the Spirit of God – is the gate to the eternal Being. All people who practice being merciful will also attain mercy and will stand by those who are on their inner way to mercy.

Recognize: The path to the heart of God is the path of the individual in community with those of like mind. For God is unity, and unity in God is community in and with God and with one’s neighbor.

The one who has taken the first steps on the path to completion will fulfill the commandment of unity: One for all, Christ – and all for One, Christ.

As revealed, the Sermon on the Mount is the path of evolution toward the Inner Life. All those who are further ahead on this path of unfoldment toward the heart of God help, in turn, those who are only at the beginning of the path. In and over all, shines the Christ, who I Am.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will behold God.”

The pure heart is the pure soul that has raised itself again to be an absolute spirit being through Me, the Christ in the Father-Mother-God.

The pure souls that have again become beings of the heavens are then the image of the eternal Father once more, and behold the Eternal again, face to face. At the same time, they see, live and hear the law of the eternal Father, because they have again become spirit of His Spirit – the eternal law, itself.

As long as people and souls still have to listen for the Spirit of God in themselves, they are not yet spirit of His Spirit; they are not yet the law of love and of life, itself.

However, the one who has again become the law of love and life beholds the eternal Father face to face and is in constant conscious communication with Him. He also perceives the law of God, the life from God, as a whole, because he himself is the life and the love, and moves in them. Whoever moves in the Absolute Law of God has also opened it completely – from order all the way to mercy. All the seven basic powers of infinity serve him, because he is in absolute unity and harmony with all Being.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”

According to their meaning, these words are saying: Blessed are those who keep peace. They will also bring true peace to this earth, because they have become peaceful in themselves. They are consciously the children of God.

“Blessed are those who suffer persecution for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of God.”

Recognize: The one who followed Me was not respected by the worldlings, because I, too, as Jesus, was held in disdain by them. At all times, people who entered into the true following of the Nazarene had to endure and suffer much.
