Looking Back,
We Look Forward.


Dear reader. Today we are presenting a new publication with which we hope to bring out the latest news about Universal Life at regular intervals. This information will consist of feedback to our events, to our books and our radio programs, as well as information about any new offers or activities in Universal Life.
But to begin with, let us look back:

The greatness that takes place in our time is the fact that God again gives His word to mankind. It began in January of 1975 with the breakthrough of His divine word in the innermost being of our sister Gabriele. Christ spoke to her: “Do not be afraid. I have accompanied you during your entire earthly life. You were always under my protection. For you went out to receive My word and to pass it on to the world.”
Gabriele gave Him her word unconditionally – and she has kept it. She is now His prophetess and spiritual ambassador.

Already at the very beginning the great goal was given: The foundation of a world-encompassing work of redemption and of the Kingdom of Peace of Jesus Christ.
“Through you and other faithful men and women, I will establish a worldwide work. I will lead them to you. Some will come, some will leave, others will be grasped and will stay, but it will be a worldwide work from which emerges the beginning of the New Jerusalem, the Kingdom of Peace on this Earth,” said Christ to Gabriele in the beginning. In her proverbial modesty she could hardly comprehend what Christ was announcing to her.
Yet very soon the work – at first called the Homebringing Mission of Jesus Christ – grew larger and larger. Already 5 years after its inception, so-called Christ-cells had formed in several cities in southern Germany, as well as in Austria and even in two cities in the United States. People came together to hear the direct word of the Spirit or to read together from the “manuscripts,” which in those days were simple copies of the countless revelations, given to us through Gabriele already at that time.

It was her untiring effort which made the emergence of the work possible. She traveled almost every weekend in order to give the spiritual world the opportunity to give revelations to us in two, mostly three, sometimes even four, different locations. On these occasions Gabriele put out an almost unimaginable effort. Not only did she receive the word, often standing erect in highest concentration with her arms outspread – and this sometimes on four consecutive days – she also endured without complaint the strain of the often long and strenuous journeys, which took her beyond the German-speaking countries of Austria and Switzerland, namely to France, Italy, Spain (including North Africa), the United States, Mexico and Canada.

And how happy she made all of us, for our souls were touched by the words of the revelations. The person who once has heard and absorbed a revelation with an open heart knows what indescribable feeling of happiness flows through person and soul, which awakens the longing to experience it again and again. At this initial stage, we did not mind at all the rooms where we met, which were small and not always very appealing then. Nor did it bother us in any way that the texts of the many revelations which Gabriele had already recorded on tape were published at first as very simple documents. In the truest sense of the word, we were thirsty for the messages from our true homeland.
At the end of 1979 and the beginning of 1980, the spiritual schoolings started; it is their goal to help us uncover our innermost being and thus lead us back to our origin and back to God, our Father. At first, these schoolings consisted of magnificent, profound meditations which were first published in printed form, and later produced as audio-cassettes. These gradually set free the inner, spiritual powers in those who practiced their tasks seriously and conscientiously. These meditations were held at that time in the “Center for Prayer, Meditation and Healing” which existed in the Homebringing Work of Jesus Christ. In autumn of 1980 “body exercises” were given to us in addition to the meditations, harmonious, dynamic movements with equally harmonious music which contribute to bring body and soul together again.

While there were only four men and women in those days carrying the external responsibility for the constantly growing work of the Lord, it soon grew to seven and then ever more, supported by those responsible in the various cities as well as those who already had taken on spiritual duties – but always guided by Gabriele through whom the spiritual world revealed more and more details about the laws of true life.

And so, the work grew constantly; ever more people all over the Earth felt addressed by the spiritual tidings and joined the work, not by entering an external organization or by paying membership dues, but by taking the schoolings seriously and by including in their everyday life the advice coming from heaven, which ultimately came from the center of all Being, and thus actualizing it step by step. The work grew so large that in 1984 the Homebringing Mission of Jesus Christ and the Center for Prayer, Meditation and Healing became Universal Life (Universelles Leben), for Christ had made true His promise and had sent us the Spirit, the Comforter, who led us into all truth. But now what held was to put into practice that which had been revealed, to let it flow into all aspects of our everyday life. People joined together in enterprises of all kinds, for all of us here on Earth need food, clothing and shelter – a wide range with which to serve our neighbor.

Just as the work itself grew, so did the public revelation events also grow; the rooms in which we met grew ever larger. As early as 1981, when GOD-FATHER revealed Himself for the first time through His prophetess, more than a thousand people had gathered. GOD-FATHER spoke to us with such a mighty voice that it effortlessly filled the hall down to its farthest corner. As overwhelming as the event was, the physical strain on Gabriele’s human body was equally great. And the revelations grew even larger. Great revelations followed in major cities, then festivals lasting several days, for example, in the “Great Exposition Hall” of Frankfurt, in the “Hall of the Meistersinger” in Nuremberg, in the “Olympic-Center” in Munich and many others.
But that’s not all – Gabriele has also written down many of the divine revelations: among others, the fundamental books “Cause and Development of all Illnesses”; “The Inner Path,” a summary of all the schoolings, starting with the meditations and continuing through the level of Earnestness (more than 1300 pages); “This Is My Word,” the pure and unadulterated teaching of Christ (over 1000 pages); and “The Great Cosmic Teachings of JESUS of Nazareth to His Apostles and Disciples Who Could Understand Them,” and countless other books and brochures.

In the years 1989/1990 the first radio stations in South America, France, Spain and Italy began to broadcast programs which dealt with the spiritual message of Universal Life. At first these programs consisted of interviews which brought the teachings of the Christ of God to the listeners in more detail. But soon programs containing meditations and schoolings had to be produced on tape. As early as 1990 regular direct broadcasts started on Wednesday mornings at 6:30 A.M. via telephone transmission to radio stations in Italy, Spain and even to South America (time-delayed). Through Gabriele, the Spirit of the Christ of God gave in these “Christ-Radiations” His healing radiation which lasted more than an hour.
Soon thereafter the “Small Roundtable Discussions” started on Tuesday evenings. They were conversations on the Sermon on the Mount, the Ten Commandments and other topics; and then, via radio broadcasts, too, “The Inner Path,” the schooling of consciousness in order to grow closer to the divine in us. Between 1993 and 1996 we experienced the “Divine Prophetic Healing” every other Sunday, altogether sixty revelations, true pearls, in which Christ not only explained the correlations between our behavior and our illnesses, but also gave us end-specific exercises, enabling us to fathom the causes of our adversities.

In 1992, we started broadcasting “The Cosmic Teachings of Jesus of Nazareth” with explanations by Gabriele, the so-called “Teaching Contemplations”; these were also broadcast time-delayed over the whole day on Sunday worldwide and in several languages.
We were also able to establish first contacts in Africa and in 1996 the Teaching Contemplations and other programs were broadcast in African English over the state radio of Nigeria, as also took place in Buea, West Cameroon. In the French language the broadcasts started in the French-speaking part of Cameroon, then in Togo, Benin and Niger.

In 1996 the radio stations broadcasting the word of the Lord worldwide numbered more than three hundred. As early as 1993 the first broadcasts in German started on short-wave which could now be heard around the globe. In 1995 a major radio station was contracted and this made it possible to transmit in the AM band with great power. Thus our radio programs are now heard all over Europe. Additionally, via the same radio station we were able to broadcast our programs worldwide on short-wave in the five major languages.

And so it is still today. It really is “Universal Life – Worldwide,” and we receive enthusiastic letters from all parts of the world, even from countries to which we had no access in the past, for example, Cuba, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, etc. Just in the first year of our broadcasts in Togo we received over eight hundred letters in which people not only warmly expressed their gratitude for the spiritual tidings, but also asked thousands of questions about healing, the Inner Path, and so on.
Most of our programs in foreign languages are simultaneous translations, be it “The Inner Physician and Healer,” “The Primordial Light for All People”, the “Matrix Meditations,” “The Inner Path on the level of Order or the level of Will,” the programs “Happiness, Freedom and Success” and the many, many topics from the Cosmic School of life, the Meeting of all God-Seekers. Simultaneous translation means that the original sound can be heard at low volume in the background, while the voice of the interpreter is transmitted at normal volume. This makes it possible for our non-German-speaking listeners to hear the voice of Gabriele, the prophetess and spiritual ambassador of God at this time. At present, the message goes out into the entire world via more than five hundred radio stations.
And for those people who have no access to the messages of the spiritual world by radio, almost all programs are available via Internet, so that anyone with access to Internet can listen to the one or other program in many languages at any time and in any place.

A so-called “Internet Radio” is also running, an Internet channel in which, at certain times, programs are inserted into a continuous music program. It is also possible to broadcast events live through this channel.
Some of our programs have been broadcast over television, too, for example, the program “Animals Lament – The Prophet Denounces!” over the Italian State Television. This program in particular, which is based on the book with the same title and available in many languages, triggered a flood of letters with strong reactions, just as the book has done, the world over.
In this way, much has developed out of the small egg, out of the small cell, from which everything came forth. In the meantime, people regularly gather worldwide in 103 cities to be connected with the events in Wurzburg by telephone or to listen to cassettes with revelations or schoolings or to read books in which the spiritual knowledge of Universal Life has been published. To this purpose they receive the necessary material – also in remote regions – through so-called “Distribution Centers” which were successfully established in many countries, e.g., Ghana, Nigeria, Zaïre, Burkina Faso, India, Australia, New Zealand, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, the United States, Canada, as well as in France, Italy, Spain, Poland and Slovenia. And so, it can be said that the Inner Path is being taught worldwide: Since November 2000 within the framework of the Cosmic School of Life, the Meeting of All God-Seekers, going out from Wurzburg almost every Sunday, either by direct or time-delayed telephone transmission to the cities connected. Many radio stations in Spain and Italy are connected directly by telephone transmission and broadcast the program to their circle of listeners. During the schooling, and also for 30 minutes thereafter, the listeners can telephone Würzburg and ask questions regarding the schooling material, the tasks and their own experiences with the exercises.

In 2000 something very special was added: the workshops of “The Stronghold of Divine Wisdom” for which people come to Wurzburg from many countries. These are seminars dealing with interesting or even volatile topics such as “Faithfulness to Your True Being Is Independence from People, Things and Situations,” “We Learn to Focus,” “Happiness and Health Lie in Your Hands” and many others.
Through these activities which are all mainly carried by Gabriele, more and more people have become aware of Universal Life in countries that meanwhile number 193. Much resonance also comes from lectures on current topics such as “Why Do You Slaughter Us (animals) for the Benefit of Your (human) Body?” or “The Murder of Animals is the Death of Humans.” Just in the first half of the year 2001, approximately one thousand “new” guests visited the lectures. These lectures are based on editions Nos. 15 and 16 of the series “The Prophet.” Edition no. 15 with the title “Animals lament – the Prophet Denounces” – as mentioned earlier with the radio broadcasts –triggered an avalanche of letters and reactions. In the German-speaking region alone, tens of thousands of books were given away free to interested people. Meanwhile, this book has been published in the major languages and many others as well; further languages are still in preparation.
Also the fundamental books “This Is My Word” and “The Inner Path – Collective Volume” are available in all major world languages and beyond them many other books like “Healing by Faith – The Holistic Healing,” “His Eye – The Bookkeeping of God,” etc.

Dear reader, much more could be reported and above all in greater detail in this short review, which at the same time is an opportunity to look forward. However, the second edition of this series is already in planning, and will show, on the basis of the reactions from all over the world, how intensely the Spirit of the Christ of God through Gabriele, the prophetess and spiritual ambassador of God for our time, has addressed us in our inner being, and how much love and strength people all over the world receive from this. Let us look forward together to the next edition which will appear soon!
