The Sermon on the Mount

Jesus of Nazareth gave mankind the Sermon on the Mount almost two thousand years ago. We can find essential parts of this teaching in the Bible (Mt. 5-7). The Sermon on the Mount contains the essence of the teaching of Jesus — fundamental statements for a life in accordance with the laws of God, guidelines for our relationship with our fellow men, with the animals, with nature. The one who puts these teachings into practice in his daily life will soon feel that his life is changing, that it is becoming peaceful and positive.

Christ, the Son of God, walked this earth as Jesus of Nazareth. His Redeemer-Spirit lives and is active in each one of us since the “It is finished” on Golgotha. In the past two thousand years, He spoke again and again through the mouth of prophets. Today, in this mighty time of radical change, He reveals Himself anew through His prophetess. He explains and deepens His teachings which He gave to man as Jesus of Nazareth. This is also the case in His great work of revelation “This Is My Word, A and , the Gospel of Jesus — the Christ-Revelation which the world does not know”.

This work goes far beyond the content of the Bible; it gives us an overwhelming picture of what was, what is and what will be. In this revelation, Christ also gives mankind all-encompassing guidelines for a truly spiritual life in accordance with the divine laws. Thus, His words, spoken as Jesus of Nazareth, are fulfilled: “I have yet many things to say to you ...” (John 16:12). Building on an already existing gospel which is not part of the Bible, called the “Evangelium Jesu” (Gospel of Jesus), Christ describes His living and working as Jesus of Nazareth in this book “This Is My Word”. He particularly points out to us h o w to live in accordance with the laws of God, in accordance with the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount in today’s time; and He gives us a preview into the future, into His Kingdom of Peace on the earth.

The Sermon on the Mount of Jesus contains the essence of the path within which Christ teaches today in Universal Life on all levels and in all detail through His prophetic word. The Inner Path “Nearer My God to Thee” is the path of self-recognition and of overcoming one’s human faults out of love for God. The person who successfully walks this path to selflessness, to equality, freedom, unity, brotherliness and justice receives the strength to more and more fulfil the Sermon on the Mount and the Ten Commandments in his daily life — even in business and economy.

The intent of this book is to give all seeking people of our time an understanding of the Sermon on the Mount of Jesus — not only those parts documented in the Bible, but His teaching with explanations and deepenings which Christ has given to mankind in our time through His prophetic word. Beyond that, this book gives the reader insight into the depth of the work of revelation “This Is My Word, A and W, the Gospel of Jesus — the Christ-revelation which the world does not know”.
In this work, Christ builds on the book “Das Evangelium Jesu. Was war vor 2000 Jahren” (The Gospel of Jesus. What Happened 2000 Years Ago). However, since many a thing therein is incomplete and sometimes falsely passed down, Christ explains and deepens this text today. Those passages which the Lord does not address more closely essentially agree with the truth of His life and work as Jesus of Nazareth. Beyond that, Christ deepens and expands the essential reports in the “The Gospel of Jesus”. Thus, in the complete work “This Is My Word”, mankind is now given the entire truth, all essential aspects of the life of Jesus and His teaching.

In the book “This Is My Word”, one or more verses from “The Gospel of Jesus” are followed by the words with which Christ explained, corrected and deepened the individual passages in 1989. This form is maintained in the rendering of the excerpts at hand. However, titles are used to subdivide the text and organize it in a clear way.

This book also contains the Twelve Commandments of Jesus which He has now given to mankind anew in His work of revelation “This Is My Word”, (Chap. 46:7-21). In essence, they are the Ten Commandments which God revealed through Moses and which Jesus of Nazareth expanded for His becoming Kingdom of Peace on earth.

The following information will also be important for the reader who wants to actualize in his life the commandments of the Sermon on the Mount of Jesus. After revealing the complete content of His Sermon on the Mount and the revelation of the path to God in the innermost being of every person, in 1991 Christ revealed the highest law to us, the Absolute Law, in His work, “The Great Cosmic Teachings of Jesus of Nazareth to His Apostles and Disciples Who Could Understand Them. The Life of the True God-filled Men”. It is the law of the heavens, given as further help to all those who have set out to become pure in heart again through the fulfilment of the laws of God.

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)

The Sermon on the Mount is the Inner Path to the heart of God, which leads to perfection.
The blessed will behold the Christ and, in all meekness and humility, will possess the earth with Me, the Christ. May it go well for the one who beholds the glory of the Father-Mother-God in everything. 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 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 in order not to be recognized.
However, the blessed look into the prison of the human ego and recognize the most hidden thoughts of their fellow men. With the power of their light-filled consciousness, they radiate 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 which brings bliss in the spirit, but the devotion to God, out of which the person fulfils what is the will of God. This is 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 aim at the community life in which they manage the goods that God has given to everyone in a lawful way. They do not aspire to 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, for God and for their neighbour. They live the commandment “pray and work”.
They strive towards the Spirit of God and receive from God what they need for their earthly life and even more. These 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, but it is either the grieving one who himself has caused it — or his soul has taken over a part of the debt of a brother- or sister-soul in the realm of the souls, in order to pay off that debt in an earthly existence, so that the brother- or sister-soul can enter higher spheres of Inner Life.
God’s mercy will be granted to the one who bears his grief without accusing his neighbour and recognizes his faults and weaknesses in the grief, repents of them, asks for forgiveness and forgives. For God, the Eternal, wants to comfort His children and to take away from them what is not good or beneficial for their soul. For when the grief leaves the soul, that is, when the causes which became effective in the soul are settled, man comes closer to God.

“Bear your grief” means: Do not complain about it; do not accuse God or your neighbour. In your grief, find your sinful behaviour which led to this grief.
Repent, forgive and ask for forgiveness, and no longer do what you have recognized as sin. Then the debt in the soul can be erased by God and you will 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 neighbour thankfully accepts the help and builds himself up with it, then give him even more, if it is possible for you.

“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 walk towards 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 in My Spirit more and more.

“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, be of good courage and raise yourself out of the sinful human ego. Rejoice, for the time has come in which the Kingdom of God comes closer to those people who endeavour to keep the commandments of life.
Behold, I, your Redeemer, Am the truth within you. I Am thus the path, the truth and the life in you.
The truth is the law of love and life. In the Ten Commandments, which are excerpts from the all-encompassing law of God, you find the guiding principles for the path to the truth. Observe the Ten Commandments and you will draw more and more onto the path of the Sermon on the Mount, in which the path to the truth is fundamentally explained.

Recognize: No one should hunger or thirst for righteousness. Take the first step towards the kingdom of love by first being righteous to yourself. Practise 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 fulfil 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 beside 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 come 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 goodness of God and is, for all souls, the gate to the perfection of life. The people who have unfolded in their souls all seven basic powers of life — the law, from order to mercy — through Me, the Christ, who live in the Father-Mother-God, will enter again, as spirit beings, through the gate of mercy into the selfless love, into the Kingdom of God, into the heavens, and will live in peace. The seventh basic power, the mercy — called, in the Spirit of God, goodness and gentleness — is the gate to the eternal Being. All people who practise being merciful will also attain mercy and will stand by those who are on the path 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 neighbour.
The one who has taken the first steps on the path to perfection will fulfil the commandment of unity: One for all, Christ — and all for One, Christ.
The Sermon on the Mount is, as revealed, the path of evolution toward the Inner Life. All those who are further ahead on this path of unfoldment towards the heart of God help, in turn, those who are 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 which has risen once again to be an absolute spirit being through Me, the Christ in the Father-Mother-God.
The pure souls, which have become beings of the heavens again are then the image of the eternal Father once more and behold the Eternal face to face again. They see, live and hear at the same time 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, 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 love and moves in them. The one who moves in the Absolute Law of God has also opened it up 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 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 stepped into the true following of the Nazarene had to endure and suffer a great deal.

People who look upon their wealth as their property are poor in spirit. Many who are rich in earthly goods were given in the cradle the spiritual task for their earthly life, to be an example to those rich people who tie themselves to their wealth with hardened, relentless hearts and whose sole thinking and striving consist in increasing this wealth for themselves. A person who is rich in earthly goods and has recognized that his wealth is a gift — which he has received from God only to bring it into the great whole for the well-being of everyone and to administer it in the right way for all — is the one who actualizes the law of equality, freedom, unity and brotherhood. He contributes as a selfless giver so that the poor do not live in privation and the rich in luxury.
In this way, a balance will gradually be established, an upper middle class for all those who are willing to selflessly fulfil the law “pray and work”. Thus, very gradually the true humanity of a community arises, whose members do not collect personal earthly riches, but rather consider everything to be common property given to them by God.
If a rich person considers money and property as his own and is esteemed in the world because of his wealth, then — as the effect of his causes — he will live in poor countries in the next earthly lives and there he will beg for the bread that he, as a rich man, once denied the poor. This can happen as long as such incarnations are still possible.

The soul of such a rich person will also find no rest in the spheres of purification. The souls that are poor in light who had to endure suffering and hunger in the earthly garment because of him will recognize him once more as the one who denied them what could have helped them out of the entanglement of the human ego. Many will accuse him and then his soul itself will feel how they suffered and hungered. In this way, a soul which was rich and esteemed as a human being in the earthly garment may suffer great need; this need is much greater than if it had had to beg for bread in the earthly garment.

Recognize: According to the laws of the Eternal, everyone who selflessly keeps the commandment “pray and work” is due the same; for God gives everyone what he needs and beyond that. However, as long as this commandment is not yet observed by all people, there will be the so-called rich on earth. It is their task to divide their accumulated wealth and to live just as those who selflessly fulfil the commandment “pray and work”. If they think of the welfare of all and not of their own, the inner wealth will gradually turn without and no person will hunger or live in want.
Woe to you, you rich ones, you who call your money and property your own and make your neighbour work so that your wealth may increase! I say to you: You will not behold the throne of God, but continue to live where the feet of God are — on earth, again and again in earthly garments, as long as this is still possible. Even if you sponsor social service establishments, but you yourselves are so much wealthier than those who are supported thereby, then you are nevertheless servile to the satan of the senses, who wants the differences between rich and poor.

Out of these differences, power and subservience, envy and hatred emerge. These give rise to fighting and wars. Those who cling to their wealth, even though they now and then think of the social good, thus serve the satan of the senses and act against the law of life: against equality, freedom, unity and brotherliness.

The one who considers money and property as his own and hoards them for himself, instead of letting these material energies flow, is a thief according to the law of life, for he denies his neighbours a part of their spiritual heritage. For everything is energy. The one who ties it up through “me” and “mine” acts against the law, which is flowing energy.

The wealthy, sated man who fills only “his” barns is empty at heart. He knows only the mine and thine. His senses and thoughts revolve around “my” property, “my” possessions, “my” bread, “my” food. “All this belongs to me” — this is his world. Such a person will one day hunger and live in want until he realizes that everything is the Being; everything belongs to God and to all people who strive to do the works of God: to love selflessly and to fulfil the law of life for the earth, “pray and work”.

People who speak only of mine and thine are people poor in light who already in this incarnation prepare a further journey on earth or a long pilgrimage for their soul in the realm of the souls and, in both cases, in the garment of a beggar.
The soul that is blinded by material things unconsciously craves for light, because it is lacking in light. It compulsively tries to compensate for this with outer things, such as earthly wealth, greed, gluttony, alcoholism or other cravings and pleasures. It is insatiable.

The one who laughs and mocks his neighbour will one day be very sad and will cry over himself — because he failed to acknowledge those whom he made fun of and mocked. He will have to recognize that, in the end, he has laughed at, scorned and ridiculed himself. For the one who judges and condemns his neighbour, who laughs at him, scorns and ridicules him, judges, condemns, laughs at, scorns and ridicules Me, the Christ.

Recognize that the one who sins against the least of My brothers sins against the law of life and will have to suffer under this. At the same time, he has bound himself to the one he held in disdain. Therefore, be on your guard and practise self-control. It is not what enters through your mouth that soils your soul, rather it is what goes out from your mouth that burdens the soul and person.

If you flatter your fellow man, so that he praises you and holds you in esteem, then you are like the counterfeiters who, for the sake of their own advantage, pay with false money .
It was and is similar with the false prophets, too. They were and are esteemed by the people because they flattered the people and because those of high standing among the people were in league with them, thereby expecting personal profit and gain.

Recognize, you people in the Kingdom of Peace, that in the sinful world many righteous prophets and enlightened men and women, as well, were slandered and persecuted by the rich and the powerful of this world, by church leaders and their adherents, and many of them were tortured and killed. At all times, the satanic used as tools those who wanted to keep and increase their worldly wealth for themselves, those who strove for power and also those who were servile to the rich and powerful.
You should know this, so that you can understand why the old sinful world perished in such a gruesome way.

In addition, false prophets were also those who did indeed preach the gospel of love, but they themselves did not live accordingly. And there were also all those who called themselves “Christians” and behaved in an unchristian way in their life. They were often famous because of their eloquence and were honoured and praised because of their wealth and prestige.

It is up to you, dear brothers and sisters in the Kingdom of Peace, to cherish, guard and preserve this now perfect, sparkling and shining crystal, the Inner Life, like a precious flower. It is the law of love and wisdom of God, His order, His will, His wisdom, His earnestness, His goodness, His infinite love radiation, and His gentleness.

They will repeatedly point out the deplorable state of affairs of this world and will touch the sore point of sin. For much damage has been and is taking place in this still sinful world — and many people became victims for the sake of the gospel.
The righteous who were victims shall be rehabilitated by righteous men and women, for everything shall become manifest through the salt of the earth. Now, in this time of radical change from the old sinful world to the New Era, the Era of Light, the righteous will bring injustice to light and will cause it to become manifest, so that those who have done wrong may recognize themselves and atone for it.

However, you righteous ones, who are the salt of the earth, beware that the salt does not lose its taste, that you therefore remain in righteousness and do not let yourselves be led astray. For who shall bring righteousness into this world, and who shall point out the deplorable state of affairs and sins which people have created? Surely, only those who know My name and are recorded in the book of the lamb.

When the salt of the earth loses its taste and man disregards his neighbour, he will succumb to his own causes; figuratively speaking, he will trample himself underfoot. His unexpiated causes will then bring about illness, infirmity and grief. The soul that is poor in light will live in want and will feel on its own soul body what it has caused to its neighbour.

7. You are the light of the world. The city that is built on a hill cannot be concealed. Neither does one light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before the people, that they may see your good works and praise your Father who is in heaven. (Chap. 25:7)

I Am the light of the world.
In the mighty turn of time, more and more hearts were kindled by My light. The people recognized the eternal truth in My words. More and more people walked the Inner Path and accepted the gift of life, the teachings and lessons from the eternal truth, in order to come nearer to God, the eternal Being.

8. You should not think that I Am come to destroy the law or the prophets; I Am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily, I say to you: Till heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter nor one dot will pass away from the law or the prophets until all that is fulfilled. But behold, One greater than Moses is here, and He will give you the higher law, even the perfect law, and you shall obey this law. (Chap. 25:8)

As Jesus of Nazareth, I taught parts from the perfect law, from the Absolute Law, to the men and women who followed Me and to all those who listened to Me. I also explained to them that the Absolute Law of love radiates into the law of sowing and reaping; for the Spirit is omnipresent and is also active in the law of sowing and reaping, the law of the fall.
Through Me, as Jesus of Nazareth, the incarnated Christ, and through all the true prophets of God that followed, the Eternal taught and admonished His children in the imperfect spheres that the law of the fall, the law of sowing and reaping, is constantly active. The one who does not stop and think it over and does not turn back in time will have to bear his causes as effects. The Eternal was and is making every effort, even today [1989], to lead His human children and all souls to His heart, to the law of eternal love, before the harvest — the effects of the causes created by them — falls upon them. The Eternal led and leads them to self-recognition through Me, Christ. He gave and gives them the strength to clear up what they recognized and recognize as sin and fault.

In Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, who I Am, came to this earth, into this world, to teach, as the Son of Man, the eternal law to people and to live it as an example, so that they would recognize the path to the eternal Father and fulfil His law — and so that they may enter again into the eternal homes that He keeps ready for all His children.
The people who followed My example during My lifetime on earth and who actualized the eternal laws, were My true followers.

In the generations that followed, there existed a Christianity and a seeming Christianity: the true followers who freely followed Me, the Christ, by keeping the laws of the Sermon on the Mount — and the seeming Christians who just talked about Me, the Christ, but acted against the laws. In addition, there was the so-called coerced following of Christ: This resulted from the forced Christianization of the masses carried out by the churches.

Recognize: There is no coercion in the eternal law. God, the Eternal, has given all His children free will. The one who freely decides has, through his free decision, the strength for what characterizes true Christianity: equality, freedom, unity, brotherliness and justice. All coercion originates from the law of sowing and reaping, also called the law of the fall. It is given to man to freely choose his spiritual path. I, Christ, offered and offer the path to the heart of God, but I pressure no man to walk it. The one who pressures his neighbour lives himself under the pressure of the law of the fall and personifies the fall thought.

Several so-called Christian denominations force their faithful into baptism with water. Even the little children whose free will is not yet developed and who therefore cannot yet decide for themselves are forced, through baptism by water, into the membership of a church and thereby induced to participate in its other rituals.
This is an intrusion into the individual’s free will and, so to speak, a forced Christianization. These are the things which take their course within the law of the fall.

People who do not freely accept and receive Me, Christ, in themselves out of the deepest inner conviction, often have great difficulties in correctly understanding and accepting the Ten Commandments, the excerpts from the eternal law. This is because these have been pushed into the background through many externalizations, dogmatic ceremonies, rites, customs and cults. Within the denominations, these externalizations became the most important point; yet, they have nothing in common with inner Christianity, the Inner Religion, but originated, in part, directly from the times of polytheism and idolatry, and thereby from the region of the fall planes.

Only when people freely break away from the dogmas and rigid ceremonies that have been forced upon them, from rites and cults, as well as from their own conceptions of God, can they gradually be guided into their inner being, into their true being. There, in their inner being, they then discover themselves as true beings in God and as inhabitants of the Kingdom of God, which is within every person. This Inner Life is the true religion, the Inner Religion.

Recognize: The eternal, all-embracing, universal law, the law of the heavens, is irrevocable. It is the law of all pure Being. The law of sowing and reaping came into being through the fall and can be dissolved only through the actualization of the eternal laws. However, it cannot be evaded. The law of sowing and reaping remains active in each soul, until the sins are recognized, cleared up, atoned for and given over to Me, the Christ of God. Then the fall law is no longer in the soul. The soul is then freed from its impurity for the most part. It becomes again the pure being in God, that lives the Absolute Law, as it strives again towards the absolute, all-ruling law of love and of life.
The law of sowing and reaping is valid until all that is unlawful is cleared off and transformed into positive energy and every being lives again in God, out of whom it came forth. To the same degree in which all beings from God have once more been received into the heart of God, into the Absolute Law, so will all purification planes – all part-material and material planes, including the earth — transform into cosmic energy and again vibrate in the Absolute Law. The fall law is then repealed, and the love of God is conscious and all-reigning in all Being, in every being.

Not one “dot” will be removed from the eternal law which the true prophets brought before and after Me, and which I, as Jesus of Nazareth, lived as an example.
When it says “not the smallest letter”, then it means a single aspect of the eternal truth, not the letter and the word of human beings as such. Human words are often only symbols that hide what is deep within. Only when the person is able to feel into the language of symbols does he recognize the truth and the meaning of life, which lies deeply hidden in the human words.

“The higher law” is the step into the perfect law. This will be taught to the mostly pure beings, which have come from earth and the soul realms, in the preparation planes, which are situated before the gate of heaven. The higher law is the last level of instruction before the gate of heaven. It shows the mostly pure beings how the lawful radiation is reactivated in the spirit body, so that it can be applied in infinity.
As Jesus of Nazareth, I taught parts of the perfect law, the Absolute Law. The whole truth still had to remain concealed from the people in those days, because they were still too dependent on their belief in gods and were oriented towards the various trends of belief of that time. For that reason, I spoke in the following sense: When the time has come, I, the Spirit of truth, will lead you into all truth.

On the hill of Golgotha — this means, the place of the skulls — I was crucified by the Romans, because the Jewish people had not accepted and received Me as the Messiah. Although I preached, taught, healed and gave many signs of My deity, up and down the valley of the Jordan, the stubborn Jewish people remained servile to the ministers of the temple, thus becoming accomplices in the death of Jesus of Nazareth.
With words in the sense of “It is finished”, the spark of redemption entered all burdened and fallen souls. Thus, I became and I Am the Redeemer of all men and souls.

As the Christ of God, I acted and continue to act. In all generations up to the present time [1989], I gave and give My revelations through true instruments of God, through people whose souls are for the most part purified.
In this mighty turn of time, in which the Era of Light comes closer and closer to man, I teach the eternal law in all its facets, and more and more people walk the path within, to the love of God.

Now the time which I announced as Jesus of Nazareth has come: “Today you are not yet able to bear it, that is, to grasp it; yet when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth.” Now, in spirit, I Am among My own, the faithful pilgrims to the eternal Being, to the consciousness of My Father; and I teach them the absolute, eternal law, so that also those who will live in the Kingdom of Peace may fulfil it and thereby live in Me and I through them.

The Ten Commandments which God gave to His human children through Moses are excerpts from the eternal law of life and of love. The one who violates these commandments, who only teaches them to his fellow man but does not keep them himself, is a false teacher. He sins against the Holy Spirit. This is the greatest sin. This misleader uses the love of God, the law of life, for his own purpose. Thereby, he abuses the eternal law. Every abuse is robbery; and every robber is a hunted and hounded person who, sooner or later, is caught and convicted by his own deeds, by his own causes. For God is a just God; everything will be revealed through Him, the good as well as the not so good and the evil.

However, the one who keeps the law of love and of life, that is, who fulfils it in his daily life, and teaches people what he himself has actualized is a true spiritual teacher. He offers the bread of the heavens to the people and will thus satisfy many. The one who gives out of his own fulfilment is filled by divine wisdom and strength and, when the time has come, will shine like a star in heaven. For the God-filled person draws from the stream of salvation and selflessly gives to those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.

The statement, “... those who believe and obey will save their souls, and those who do not obey will lose them” means that the one who believes and follows the laws of God will deliver his soul from the wheel of reincarnation, which will continue to draw him into the flesh until he has atoned for all that repeatedly drew him into incarnation.

Recognize: The mere belief in the law of life is not enough. Only the belief in the life and the actualization of the laws of life lead man and soul out of the wheel of reincarnation.
The one who does not keep the laws of God betrays God and sells his soul to the darkness. Thereby, he covers the light of his soul, his true life. This person then lives in sin and his soul lives in the slumber of this world. The law of incarnation, the wheel of reincarnation which draws the soul into incarnation, will still be in effect for some time, so that the incarnated soul may recognize that it is not of this world, but is in the earthly garment in order to discard what is human — and to uncover what is divine: its true eternal life.

Not all who know the written characters interpret them according to the letter only — but according to the meaning. For this reason, it should mean: If your righteousness is not greater than that of the many scribes — who pretend to be righteous and teach My law, but do not keep it themselves — you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Recognize: The justice of God is the love and wisdom of God. The one who does not bring them to unfoldment in himself does not radiate them; he neither perceives the depth of eternal Being nor fathoms his true life. His earthly life is in a state of vegetation. He vegetates past the true life. He is spiritually dead in this life as well as in the beyond. Neither in this earthly existence nor in the life beyond does he have the right orientation, because he did not live according to the laws of life. He is not wise, but only passes on his stored knowledge. Thus, he becomes an adherent of sin and finally, a sinner. He acts against the eternal law and in this way falls deeper and deeper into the law of sowing and reaping.

When you devote your life to Me, the Christ, and want to give your faults and sins over to Me and you recognize that you have not yet reconciled with your neighbour, then leave your sin lying before the inner altar for the moment. Go to your neighbour and reconcile with him — and, if you no longer want to do the same or similar thing which led to the sin, then lay your sin upon the altar. The altar is in the innermost part of your temple of flesh and bone. The Spirit of love and life will then transform the sin into strength and life. You will attain liberation from that which you freely, willingly and without pressure give over to Me and thus no longer do the same or similar thing. Your soul will then increasingly receive the light from Me.

Take heed of the following spiritual principle: When you have sinned against your neighbour exclusively in thoughts, through unloving, envious, revengeful, jealous or hate-filled thoughts, then do not go to him in order to talk to him about it. Know that your neighbour does not know your world of thoughts. If you let it become manifest in words, he will think about it. Come solely to Me, the Christ, who I Am in your inner being, and repent of your thoughts and send at the same time positive, selfless thoughts to the soul of your neighbour, thoughts of asking for forgiveness and thoughts of inner unity. Then I will undo what was caused in thoughts. And if you no longer think the same or similar thing, then it is already forgiven you.

Recognize: When you speak to your neighbour of your human thoughts, you might possibly stir up in him some human aspect that is just in the process of transformation. It could then break out once more in your neighbour. He then begins to think and speak negatively again and burdens himself anew.
The law says that through your wrong behaviour not only the one who is stimulated to reflect again burdens himself, but you, too, burden yourself when you express your thoughts and, through this, activate in your neighbour the humanness that was in the process of transformation.
However, if unlawful things leave your mouth in that you accuse and insult your neighbour and speak ill of him — even if he hears it from a second or third party — then go to him and ask him for forgiveness. If he has forgiven you, so has the eternal heavenly Father in Me, the Christ, also forgiven you. But if he has not forgiven you, then your heavenly Father in Me, the Christ, will not be able to forgive you either. However, the love of the Father-Mother-God will touch the still rigid heart more and more, so that the person can think things over sooner and forgive you, so that God in Me, the Christ, can also forgive you; then all that was once unlawful is annulled and transformed.

Recognize a further spiritual principle: You cannot see nor hear thoughts — and yet they are there. They vibrate in the atmosphere and can influence the one who thinks the same or like things. If you give them over to Me in time, they are cancelled — unless the soul of your neighbour has already registered them in itself. Then you will be guided in such a way that you will be able to do good to that person of whom you thought negatively. And if you do good selflessly, without expressing your earlier thoughts, then what you unlawfully thought about your neighbour and which he already absorbed into his soul will be erased in his soul. And what your soul radiated out is erased in you, as well.

“Reach agreement with your adversary quickly, while you are still on your way with him” means: Do not let the sin that you have committed against your neighbour linger. Clear it up as quickly as possible, for he is still with you on your path through life in the earthly existence. If his soul has left the earth, you may have to wait until you can meet him again and can ask him for forgiveness.

For this reason, use the chance to ask your neighbour for forgiveness and to forgive him as long as you are still on your path over the earth with him and the sin has not yet engraved itself into the soul and become a cause. The one who does not forgive nor asks for forgiveness has to bear the effect until he has “paid the last penny”.

Therefore, become one with your neighbour as quickly as possible. If the causes — for example, quarrel, resentment or envy — have already taken root in your soul, and if the same has also taken place in your neighbour whom you are against, then it is possible that your neighbour will not forgive you so quickly — not even when you have recognized your sin and repented. For the guilt complex may have hardened in his soul through the same or a similar way of thinking that you triggered in him. Due to the sinful behaviour, which you nurtured over a long period of time, he also nursed a grudge against you in his soul — and, like you, too, has thus created an extensive negative energy field, a guilt complex that now has to be worked on by both of you. The reconciliation can still happen in this earthly existence or later in the realms of the souls or in further incarnations.

Recognize: Before a blow of fate strikes a person, he is admonished by the Spirit of life, which is also the life of the soul, and also by his guardian spirit or by people. The admonishments from the Spirit are the finest sensations which flow out of the soul or which the guardian spirit lets flow into the person’s world of sensations or thoughts. They admonish the person to change his way of thinking or to clear up what he has caused. The eternal Spirit of life and the guardian spirit may also stimulate people to go to the one who is on the verge of being struck by a blow of fate. They will then approach the person concerned and will enter into a conversation which will spontaneously relate to the matter in question. From this conversation, the cause of the looming fate may be recognized and cleared up.
Thus, you recognize that the eternal light gives admonishments and indications in manifold ways — both to your neighbours with whom you have created causes, as well as to you, yourselves.

Through impulses by way of the day’s events, too, the person is admonished in time, before what was caused by him breaks in over him as fate.
The one who takes such hints seriously and clears up the sin which he has recognized by repenting, forgiving, asking for forgiveness and making amends, need not bear what was caused by him. If the sin is great, then it is possible that he has to bear a part of it, but not the whole of it which wanted to break out of the soul. However, the one who overlooks and fails to heed all the admonishments, because he numbs himself with human things, will have to bear his self-created causes until “the last penny is paid”.

However, if you can forgive your neighbour who has blamed and accused you without being unduly agitated, no correspondence is in you; that is, you do not have the same or similar thing in you and thus, no resonance in your soul. It is possible that, in a former life, you already cleared up and atoned for what you were accused of — or even that you never built it up in your soul. Then, it was only in the soul of the one who thought and spoke against you and accused you. Therefore, if no emotion reverberates in you, if no echo comes from your soul, then you were a mirror for him. Whether he looks into this mirror for his human ego or not — leave that to God and to him, His child.

Recognize: Even the mere sight of you stirs his conscience, which reflects to him that, for example, he once thought and spoke negatively about you. Now he has the chance to clear it up. If he does that, by repenting and henceforth no longer thinking or doing the same or similar thing, then it is removed, that is, transformed, in his soul. Only then will he see you with the eyes of the Inner Light.
A sign that the negative has been transformed into the positive in one’s soul is benevolence and understanding towards one’s neighbour.

The one who keeps these commandments is just towards his fellow man and, through his life in God, will guide many people to the life in God. God does not punish and chastise His children. This is already said by the words, “... who lets the sun rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the just and the unjust.”
God is the giver of life, because He Himself is the life. From the eternal law of life, God gave human beings the free will to decide freely for or against Him. The one who is for Him keeps the eternal laws of love and of life and will also receive the gifts of love and of life from the eternal law. The one who feels, thinks and acts against the eternal law receives what he has sown, that is, what he felt, thought, spoke and did.

Therefore, everyone receives what he himself has sown. The one who sows good seed, that is, fulfils the laws of God, will also reap good fruits. The one who sows human seeds, which he brings into the acre of his soul as human sensations, thoughts, words and deeds, will also harvest the corresponding fruits.
From this, you recognize that God does not interfere in the will of man. He is the giver, helper, admonisher, leader and protector of those who endeavour to do His will, because they turn to Him. The one who turns away from Him, by creating his own human law, will also be controlled by his own human “ego-law”.

Thus, God does not interfere in the law of sowing and reaping. In manifold ways, God offers His help to His children; and those who sincerely pray to Him from their heart and fulfil what I, Christ in God, My Father, have commanded them — to love one another selflessly — are in God, and God acts through them.

15. For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? For sinners also love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what reward will you have? For even sinners do the same, too. And if you greet only your brethren, what more are you doing than the others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? (Chap. 25:15)

Therefore, accept and receive your neighbour in your heart, even if he does not love you, even when he does not stand by you and ignores you, by refusing to greet you. Do love him! Do stand by him selflessly and do greet him — even if it is only in thought, when he does not wish to be greeted with words. Even a greeting from the heart, which is given in thought, enters the soul and brings good fruit at the right time.

Make sure that you act like the sun that gives — whether the person wants to see it or not, whether he wishes for rain or storm, whether he desires the cold or the warmth.
Give selfless love, as the sun gives to the earth, and respect all people, all Being. Then you will receive your reward in heaven.

If you tie a person to yourself only for your advantage, then, with your self-will, you pursue interests which lead you away from the life in Me, the Christ. You thereby forsake the impersonal selfless life, you entangle yourself in wanting to possess, to be and to have, and become impoverished in the spiritual life in your inner being. If you do not desist in time from wanting to possess, to be and to have, you will lose everything one day.

If you do not recognize yourself in the effects — for example, through the loss of all your worldly goods or in illness or in misery and in suffering — and then do not repent and make amends, you will wander in the darkness as soul and as man, because you were concerned solely about yourself, about your own personal well-being.

Therefore, recognize yourself every day anew and actualize the laws of God daily, and stop wanting something for your personal ego. Remain truthful — and thus, faithful to the law of God. Then you will enter into the life which is your true being — and you will be rich in yourself, because you have opened up heaven within you.

The truth which is impersonal cannot flow into the one who is not a vessel of the truth. Such a person is concerned only about himself and accumulates things only for himself. This behaviour leads to his turning away from God’s eternally flowing power and to “a life in a stagnant pool”: Only the negative flows into the pool and little flows out. This means that he will feel in his own body what he has gathered in his stagnant pool.

On the other hand, the eternal truth streams into and through the person who is a vessel of the truth. He receives from God and gives from God and thus becomes the spring of life for many. The cosmic life force, the source of all Being, streams through all forms of Being and through those human beings and souls who have turned towards God, that is, have become the vessel of God.

Recognize: The eternally flowing power streams only through the person and the soul who do not accumulate things for selfish purposes, but give selflessly. The stream of God flows unceasingly only through the ones who give selflessly. If God can flow unhindered through the person, then this person lives in the truth, in God, in the life which lasts eternally. Only such people give from Me, the life, because they are in Me, the life and the truth.

17. And if you desire something which causes another pain and sorrow, tear it out of your heart. Only in this way will you attain peace. For it is better to endure sorrow than to inflict it on those who are weaker than you.
18. Be therefore perfect, as your Father in heaven is perfect.” (Chap. 25:17-18)

Everything that goes out from you which is not divine — like unlawful thoughts, words and deeds — can cause pain and sorrow not only for your neighbour, but also for you, yourself. For what the person sows, he will reap.
The harvest corresponds to the seed. It will always be harvested by the one who has sown — not by his neighbour. Your neighbour has not sown your seed, and neither will he reap your harvest.

However, your seeds can have wings — like the seeds of different types of flowers, which, after blooming, are carried away by the wind and take root where they are able to hold fast. So it is also with your thoughts, words and deeds which can fall like winged seeds on the acre of your neighbour’s soul and can sprout if they find the same or similar conditions there.

The same or something similar to what is in you is present in him, if he becomes upset and angry by the words and deeds with which you caused him sorrow and, stimulated by your winged seeds, he thinks, speaks and does the same or similar thing. However, you have triggered it and can be called to account in the law of sowing and reaping. You are commanded to love your neighbour selflessly and to serve and help him — and not to cause him pain and sorrow by your behaviour.

If your neighbour then burdens himself because of your unlawful behaviour, because you intruded into the acre of his soul and brought causes into vibration, which he later has to bear and from which he has to suffer greatly, then you are bound to him. And if he, too, reacts unlawfully to your behaviour, he is, in turn, bound to you. In this or another form of existence, you will have to clear this up together.
Recognize: A small insignificant winged seed of human ego can create a great cause, which already bears its effect in itself.
Therefore recognize that every cause must be removed.

A further example: If you send out your negative thoughts, words and deeds like winged seeds and your neighbour hears what you say about him but takes no notice of it, because he has no correspondence to it in the acre of his soul, then only you will burden yourself; and you are bound to him — not he to you. Your neighbour can enter into heaven because he has not accepted and received your negative seeds, for he has not thought or spoken the same or similar as you. However, if by your wrong behaviour you have set causes into motion in your neighbour that would not have had to come into effect in him, because he would have been able to clear them up later without pain and sorrow, then you are the one who bears the greater guilt and has to bear the part which you have caused to your neighbour.

If, therefore, you have to endure pain and sorrow, do not blame your neighbour for your condition. You yourself are the originator — and not your neighbour. Your pain and your sorrow are the seeds in your soul which have sprouted — and also show themselves in or on your body as harvest.
Only I, Christ, your Redeemer, can free you from this — and only when you repent and no longer do the same or something similar. Then the burden is taken away from your soul and things will be better for you.

Recognize: The one who recognizes his pain and his sorrow as his own seed and accepts his suffering shows true inner greatness. This is a sign of spiritual growth; spiritual growth gradually leads to perfection.
The pure being is perfect; it is the image of the Father-Mother-God. It lives in God, and God lives through the pure being.

1. “Take heed that you do not give your alms before people, in order to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. When you give alms, you should not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by the people. Verily, I say to you, they already have their reward.
2. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your alms remain secret; and the One who sees into the secret will publicly acknowledge it. (Chap. 26:1-2)

The Sermon on the Mount that is lived is the Inner Path to the heart of God. What a person does not do selflessly, he does for himself. Selflessness is the love for God. Self-interest is human love. The one who does good for his neighbour only when the latter thanks him for it and praises his good deeds has not done it for his neighbour, but for himself. The gratitude and the praise are then his reward. He is thus already rewarded and will receive no further reward from God. Only selflessness will be rewarded by God. Selflessness grows and matures only in the person who has taken the first steps towards the kingdom of the inner being, that is, who has actualized.

The first steps towards this are the examination and control of thoughts: Replace egocentric, negative, brooding or passionate thoughts with positive, helpful, joyful, noble thoughts and with thoughts about the good in a person and in all that you encounter. Then you will gradually bring your senses under control. You will then also want nothing more from your neighbour and will expect nothing more from him. In the further course of the Inner Path, you will speak only what is positive and essential. Thereby, you gain control over your human ego because you have learned to rest in yourself. Then your soul becomes more and more light-filled and you find in everything that comes towards you the good that you are then able to address and express in the right way. If you have learned this, then you will also address negative matters lawfully. In this way, uprightness and honesty awaken in you and you remain faithful to God in all things.

This spiritual evolutionary process towards selflessness is the Inner Path to the heart of God. Everything that you do out of selflessness brings you manifold fruits.
Therefore, if your sensations are without expectations and your thoughts are noble and good, then the power of God is in your words and in your deeds. This power is My energy of life. It goes into the soul of your neighbour and causes your neighbour to also become selfless. For, sooner or later, what goes out of your light-filled soul enters your neighbour’s soul and his nature, too, depending on when he opens himself for it.

The one who gives selflessly does not care whether his neighbour knows what he has given. The selfless person gives. He knows that God, the eternal Father, sees into the heart of all His children and that the Eternal, whose Spirit dwells in every human being, rewards the selfless one when the time for this has come. This alone is important.
Recognize: All good works, that is, selfless ones, become manifest in good time, so that those who should see them may recognize them, in order that they, too, become selfless, in that they, too, accept and strive for the life in Me, and do what I have commanded them: to love one another selflessly, as I, the Christ, love them.

3. And when you pray, you should not be like the hypocrites who like to pray in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, so that they may be seen by the people. Verily, I say to you, they already have their reward.
4. But when you pray, go into your chamber and when you have shut the door, pray to your heavenly Father who is hidden away; and the hidden One, who sees into that which is hidden, will publicly acknowledge it. (Chap. 26:3-4)

When you pray, withdraw into a quiet chamber and immerse deeply into your inner being; for the Spirit of the Father, whose temple you are, dwells in you.
If you pray just to be seen or so that your neighbour may think you are pious and devout, then I say to you that this is not devoutness, but false piety; it is hypocrisy. Such externalized prayers are without power. The one who prays just from his lips or in order to be seen sins against the Holy Spirit, for he misuses holy words for his own self-interest.

Recognize: If you address God in prayer and do not fulfil in your life what you have prayed for, that is, if your prayers are only to display your ego and do not come from the depths of your soul and are not inspired by the love for God, then you sin against the Holy Spirit. And this is the greatest sin.

When your prayers do not flow selflessly from your heart, it would be better not to pray and to first become aware of your thoughts and human wishes and to gradually give them over to Me — so that the selfless love which is in you will grow and you will be able to pray from the heart. Then your prayers will be inspired more and more and imbued with the love for God and for your neighbour.

“... and the hidden One, who sees into what is hidden, will publicly acknowledge it” means that your thoughts of light and your power-filled prayers, which are inspired by the love for God, will one day bear fruit in this world. You will be allowed to recognize your seed of love and many will also recognize you as a source of love.

Only the person who has actualized a little of the law of truth uses many words and empty, uninspired repetitions in prayer and in daily life.
The one who speaks much about the law of truth and of life, thus using many words for it, cannot fill them with power and life, because he himself is not filled with the law of God. Such words are egocentric and, for that reason, without love, even though they are chosen as if they were carried by love. Uninspired speech does not reach the innermost of your neighbour’s soul, and therefore finds no echo in the person, in and through whom the love of God rules. The person who speaks without inspiration about the law of truth and of life, which he himself does not actualize, merely stimulates a person, who hears this and likewise is still directed to outer things, to engage in arguing.

Recognize: The one who argues about spiritual laws does not know the laws of God. Everyone who wants to argue is convinced that he knows better than his neighbour and wants to confirm this to himself. The one who argues only gives evidence of himself, namely, that he knows nothing and is uncertain. This is why he argues.
However, the one who has found the truth does not argue about the truth, not even about what belief is. The word “belief” also implies lack of knowledge: In the end, the person believes what he does not know or cannot prove. The one who believes in the truth has not yet found the eternal truth. Nor does he move in the stream of the eternal truth yet. Therefore, belief is still blindness.

However, the one who has found the eternal truth no longer has to believe in the truth — he knows the truth, because he moves in the stream of truth. This is the true wise man, who has raised the treasure of truth in himself. The true wise ones rest in themselves. This is inner confidence and stability. They do not argue about belief, because they have found their way from belief to wisdom, which is the truth.
Therefore, the one who only believes in God without knowing the depth of the eternal truth, the eternal law, uses many words about his belief.

Even in prayer, he will behave in a similar way: He uses many words, for he does not inspire his words with selfless love. He is of the opinion that with many words he is able to convince God or even persuade Him. He thinks he has to make himself understood before God, for he assumes that God could understand his prayers in a different way than what he meant. Heathens think and pray in a similar way.
Recognize: The deeper the person immerses himself into the divine wisdom, the fewer words he also uses in prayer. His prayers are short yet powerful, because the word radiates the power that is lived.

6. Our Father, who are in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us day by day our daily bread and the fruit of the living vine. And as You forgive us our sins, so may we also forgive the sins of others. Leave us not in temptation. Deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory in all eternity. Amen. (Chap. 26:5-6)

The community prayer, the Lord’s Prayer, is prayed with different words and contents, because every community prays it according to the love-potential of the community.
As Jesus of Nazareth, I taught the community prayer, the Lord’s Prayer, in My mother tongue, that is, with other words, and thus with another content than as was prayed in later times and in other languages.

People who live in My Spirit, who are imbued with the love and wisdom of God, who thus actualize the laws of God in their daily life will, above all, thank God for their life and for everything. They will praise and glorify Him and devote their life more and more to Him — in sensations, thoughts, words and deeds — because they have become life of His life.

In the maturing Kingdom of Peace of Jesus Christ, in which I Am the ruler and the life, the people will keep the law of God more and more. Many of them have become the law — and thus, God-men who personify the life, God, in all that they think, speak and do. Their prayers are the life in Me, the fulfilment of the eternal law. With their life, which is the law of God, they thank God for the life.
And so, the thanks to God is the life in God. Their life, which is a single act of giving thanks, streams into the Kingdom of Peace.
They pray according to the following words which they fulfil in daily life:

Our Father, Your Spirit is in us,
and we are in Your Spirit.
Hallowed is Your eternal name in us
and through us.
You are the Spirit of life,
You are our primordial Father.
We bear our eternal names from you.
You, eternal One, have given them to us
and have placed in our names the whole
fullness of infinity.
Our names, which You have breathed into us,
are the love and wisdom —
the fulln
