Gethsemane

Gethsemane means – that is here, this garden in which you are –: you must now send every thought to the space, bring it into harmony with life and death, with soul, spirit and material, with your reincarnation, with fatherhood and motherhood and thousands of more things, laws and problems.
Gethsemane wants to take you to the silence, to the meditation.
That Gethsemane is a becoming conscious, that is a sensing, that is a thinking in the right direction and in the true meaning of the word.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
I have given you a picture of the first sphere, the second, and the third.
Yes indeed, people sit there and rest, but they must not do that for long.
The rest from those Spheres of Light are somewhere.
You cannot even find your real father and mother there; they are not there.
They are somewhere, they are busy.
When they sit down there and rest they can experience a meditation, Gethsemane is for that.
Gethsemane is a sphere, a universe, ready for the light, the harmony and the justice; that is always Gethsemane again, that is the meditation.
That is a place in you, a foundation by means of which you can rest, can think about things, and can experience things for soul, spirit and your eternal Divine personality.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
We will carry on reluctantly and then we will probably be kneeling there in this space in order to experience the silence of Gethsemane.
Really, now we are faced with the clean, pure silence, which the All-Source also possesses and by means of which the God of all life manifested Himself and, of course, was brought to the earth by Christ.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
We go through the Spheres of Light; we go through the fourth, fifth and sixth cosmic grades and from the All we come back to Gethsemane in order to complete a task for the earth, to do something for this mankind.
Gethsemane means: to learn to think, to meditate, to prepare yourself for the next step, the task that you took in your own hands.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
Christ stands there and looks, He with John and Peter for a moment and says: “Now it will begin.
I now demand everything of you, if you can do it.”
He knew how great, how deep His children were.
He knew very certainly that if He let Peter enter the cosmic stake for the full hundred percent, then that child would crawl into himself and withdraw.
Lectures Part 2, 1951
He was in His Divine silence and from there He entered the living human being, and then He had to accept there, and He said: “Can you not watch with Me for a moment?
Can you not open yourself up for a moment, attune yourself to the truth, the reality?
Because every moment your macrocosmos collapses and then you have nothing.
If I leave you alone, Peter, John, then I also leave mankind alone too.
And is that possible?
But I have to accept to which life of feeling you have come.”
Lectures Part 2, 1951
And when He then began and thought that the helpers were standing next to Him, who would represent His life afterwards, they were lying sleeping, also John.
And now you are all sleeping, you are walking, therefore awake in society, but sleeping for Gethsemane.
Have you by means of your thinking and feeling precisely awakened that which opens the little bit of feeling of your Divine core, therefore that door, and sends up to the day-consciousness, of which the human being now wished to possess everything?
Then people say: “How sweet that human being is, how spacious, how cordial.”
Gethsemane now possesses your cordiality, your justice, your willpower, because Christ wanted to devote himself for this awakening.
And now you have to devote yourself for awakening, for your house; not in the very first place for your task by means of which you must eat and drink, that is your material vicinity.
But now, when do you do something for that Divine inner self?
When can you say: today I touched a hundred millionth spark and placed it for me as a new foundation?
When?
When are you spiritual, now?
When do you think outside the apostles and outside mankind, but straight from your first sphere back to the earth, for Christ?
When?
When are you sensitive, sure, soft, supporting?
Lectures Part 2, 1951
And soon it will be clear to us that we also have to take every grade, every law of life, every word and every thought ourselves to the evolution.
We get nothing for free, because we possess everything!
We have everything received from the All-Source, because we have become human beings.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
Think.
In one year you can experience thousands of centuries, in one year the human being can say about you: “Good heavens, good heavens, how you have changed.”
And now that inner self speaks.
You must spiritualize your whole dictionary, because it lies there.
How many millions of characteristics ...
Just think, sit down when you have really done your work.
Sit down, just start to think and just look at your husband, and let him look at her.
Think of the words, hear what you say yourself and whether that word is in harmony with Golgotha, with Judas, with Peter, with the Spheres of Light, which you belong to.
Just work out what you were like yesterday with regard to the human being.
Did you just bark at that human being again?
What did the Christ do?
“Can you not just watch with Me?”
Lectures Part 1, 1950
The fear, which the human being has for opening himself, that is really awe-inspiringly sad.
The human being with his possession, wherever he finds himself.
Just feel the human being, just follow that personality and just touch that personality, that world.
Touch that soul, that spirit and then you will see how merciless, how pathetic that personality shows itself if you fly over that life and touch something of the foundations that they do not possess.
Because this phase does not intend to enter Gethsemane, not to mention to soon enter Golgotha – which awaits you and me and everyone.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
Yes, it is not an art to descend to the earth when this mankind is ready.
Then people no longer need any word, any book, any art, then everything has reached harmony.
But it is now a matter of pushing this mankind up to that spiritual evolution.
Christ came for this purpose, every human being still devoted his life for this purpose.
Soon that will no longer be necessary.
You do not need to trot along after a personality, to drive, to talk, to inspire.
That is over, that happens of its own accord.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
Gethsemane means: I want to be true, I already know myself, because I want, I know what I am doing.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
Because Gethsemane is accepting everything, is absorbing everything in you what the Christ brought, what the Christ has meant, for which purpose he came to the earth.
Gethsemane means accepting mankind.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
For Gethsemane there is no longer any death, there is only life, cordiality, benevolence, pure thinking and feeling.
In Gethsemane you are not snarled at.
In Gethsemane you are faced with the laws; they are very definitely not so simple, because when do you experience the reality?
When can you say: today I am true?
And now you just work out for yourself how we can absorb these laws into ourselves and what you possess of them.
I am only concerned with making it clear to you that you have to conquer Gethsemane in this life.
And the Christ lived in that ...
The apostles are here and are waiting and they do not know is ... what is starting to happen to the Master ... what the Master is doing.
The telepathic unity of feeling to feeling, only John possesses that, an individual.
He has a few feelers and can attune himself to the life of the Messiah, the Christ.
And then you also lie down there and then you start to think.
Then you start to think in the first place: human being, human being, human being ... and what can I do for you?
Sects very definitely originated and as a result of this, ancient Egypt built itself up, and gave itself a personality.
The Goddess of Isis came forward as a result of the thinking: what can I do for you?
What can I give you this morning, what can I bring you today?
Can I take you back to the laws by which we were born?
And the Christ lay there.
He prepares himself to experience life and death.
He knows: soon people will kill Him.
But what does that matter to Him?
Soon people take Him to the executioners of this mankind.
One human being takes a whip in his hands and lashes out.
A slanging match means nothing, now the physical systems of this Temple are touched.
A Divine Personality now sits there ...
He accepts this beating.
If you were able to feel the sorrows of the Messiah, if you just enter this world, then your personality will recoil because of the violence that is still present in society, and also in your life.
That awe-inspiring simplicity of the Messiah, the Christ ...
To sit down there and to accept the beating, the tremendous material lashing and to say nothing ...
To sit down gratefully, with a power of feeling that says: just beat me, I will not do anything back to you anyway.
Because I no longer have any feeling to be angry, it just hurts Me.
I get awe-inspiring sorrows now that you are capable of taking up that whip, to press it into your hands, and to beat Me up.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
For Gethsemane everything is love and happiness, harmony, justice.
You cannot enter Gethsemane with premeditated feelings, with your long faces.
The human being is happy in there.
The human being does not have enough time to think and to feel, to work for the space, for society; Gethsemane takes the human being to the heart of this personality and says: what can I do for you?
Every child of God completed his hours in here before this life could enter the first spiritual heaven.
Every human being of the earth who possesses a little bit of feeling and can already absorb the first sphere into himself as it were at a distance, he returns to the earth and plonks himself down there, in Gethsemane.
And now we begin to think, separate from society, because nothing is right here.
All of society, the personality, which is called mankind, still does not have any trueness, accept this.
As long as the bible, as long as mankind ... damnation – I explained that to you, I took you to that strictness, to that devotion to duty – as long as this mankind cannot understand, does not want to accept a God of love, as long as this mankind still does not have any possession of reality and you as a human being, as an academic, as mother and as father do not need to drag this mankind to Gethsemane.
That is just talk in an empty space, where there is nothing present, only the unconscious feeling of the masses, which you cannot feel, you do not even hear it!
Because it is only then that Gethsemane will receive and accept you, be able to listen to you – Gethsemane listens to you, that is a personality, because the God of all life lives there – when you experience the trueness.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
And now; what kind of true things do we have in us?
What is it about, why do you live and what will you now actually serve for?
When we enter Gethsemane from the astral world, then we do that reluctantly.
But you must just look how many people rush in there and want to sit in the first row, there precisely where the Christ prayed.
Precisely there on that spot, which is so scrupulously clean, so infinitely deep, the human being now wants to go there.
The human being immediately sits in the first place, he wants to stand in the shadow of the Messiah.
The good thinking human being, the human being who feels where it is going, you can find him there between the trees and the flowers, or under the ground.
He has nothing, but he still does not dare to go to the reality.
He says: “Am I ready?”
And now you get, of course, when you have left the material systems, the world, you get: what did I do here, what do I live for and why am I now going to serve?
Everyone wonders about that.
And now you can find there in the vicinity of Jerusalem – but from our world – you can find millions of souls, fathers and mothers who are preparing to experience Gethsemane.
Now you must look, now you are starting to sense something of these realities.
You are now starting to understand how awe-inspiring the life of the Messiah is.
And how those poor children, the apostles, did their best and could not understand it either.
You go and kneel down here, you moan from sorrow.
You have a pain in your heart that is so awe-inspiring, because all the sorrows of the earth, every human being who experiences life brutally, wildly, disharmonically, comes to your life, you start to feel that.
You recoil from a harsh, unknown word; you are afraid, because the human being will forget himself again.
You know very definitely what it cost you to get it so far, you had to devote your blood to that.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
When John asked Him after this meditation: “Master, what did you feel?
I thought I was flying in the space with you”, then He said to John: “John, I wanted mankind – our own blood, our souls, our spirits, this living foundation – to give us the time to ... so that I can show myself completely, can give myself completely.
Yes, John, then we will fly, then we experience a consciousness, then we will advance thousands of years in only a few seconds.
But mankind, these masses are not yet ready.
These masses do not know about meditation, about inner feeling and thinking.
We get to accept a material destruction, John.
We can make ourselves strong, we can think.
And what will I think about?
That I will finally be ready in order to be able to accept this life.”
Christ did not get ahead of himself.
He did not return to the All-Source; the space, planets and stars, they did not matter to Him.
He started to think: how will I soon be ready in order to be able to receive these blows, this consciousness?
Will I be prepared and say exactly what lives in Me?
Did you really think that the Christ went to Pilate just like that and later to Caiaphas, unprepared?
He would ...
He would have destroyed himself, no Divine consciousness would have come from Him.
But He was prepared!
Lectures Part 1, 1950
There is no talking in Gethsemane; in Gethsemane there is only thinking and feeling.
There you experience the pure, universal Divine reality.
And then a silence comes under your heart, then you start to be happy that there is mother sitting next to you with the same aura of feeling.
Then there is no longer any old and young, there is only feeling, there is only life.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
First the very first beginning: let me think, let me feel.
I must begin in order to be able to listen to a human being and that is now the most difficult thing there is.
To listen to a human being, to accept a human being: yes, you are right.
Now just listen every day.
Listen to everything in the world, but start to listen to this speaking, this feeling and thinking according to the grade of your consciousness.
You do not allow any more nonsense, you cannot even do that anymore.
You are capable of accepting those people, but with that nonsense, with those half-conscious feelings ... the flying in the space, that building castles in the air means nothing to you.
Reaching too high, flying too high, doing something for society and you cannot even write your own name, that is megalomania, you do not need to come with that in Gethsemane, because people do not need you there.
You must see here in the reality.
You must accept the reality here and ask yourself: where do I live, who am I, what am I doing, can I do that?
And then for soul, spirit, fatherhood, motherhood, universal light, God, Christ.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
You are a doctor?
Then you will experience that doctorship in Gethsemane at a hundred percent for the spiritual grade, you are now a good person.
Are you talking about love?
Then you will involve Gethsemane, because here you want to be love!
If you are talking about harmony, then you will no longer upturn a human being in Gethsemane, you will no longer snarl at a human being.
You will finally trust a human being.
And now the human being on earth has thousands and thousands of thoughts, thousands of longings to do something, but you do not come any further.
Why not?
Because the personality does not start with the first grade ... a little foundation.
You do not begin with: I want to be true, I want to be a friend, I want to be a sister, a brother, and I want to be a true father.
You do not begin with that.
And because you do not begin with the first foundations, materialized visibly by the universe – that is fatherhood, motherhood – you do not come any further either.
I must be a good mother, a true mother, I must carry the love.
I am woman? then I carry the Divine All-Source manifesting with me, I am that myself.
My eyes say it, my words will interpret it.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
Did you think that Christ came to the earth with next to Him the Divine nirvana, sanctities and space, realms of colours – and next to Him a dagger?
There was not one wrong thought in Him ... a pure Figure.
And you can achieve that here on earth.
You can achieve that and then you are faced with a benevolent human being and then you must see, then you will feel how awe-inspiringly beautiful a human being is for you.
Then you are grateful if you are a man and the love of the mother speaks to you.
Then you must just look into those eyes and then just feel that heart, and she says: “Yes, dear, yes, my darling!”
Be careful, because when you say in Gethsemane: yes, dear, yes, my darling, then you will have to know what being a darling and being a dear means, otherwise, you no longer say it there.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
You ask nothing of the world, you do not want any thanks from any human being.
Because thanks removes my foundation.
I must completely and ultimately lose and give myself completely.
Everything of me must go, it is only then that I will have completely dissolved for the serving, the giving – yes, for which gifts, for which deeds?
I must dissolve, I must disappear, as a human being here like this, because one day I will have to represent all the grades of life and laws of life in the Divine All!
Then it is clear anyway that I must lose this what I am now, I will change that, I will expand that by means of meditation, by thinking.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
Then Gethsemane speaks in you, under your heart, but then you are benevolent, well thought-out and conscious.
You start to experience every word by experiencing Golgotha.
That therefore means: every word gets the power of the Christ.
And that is not so simple, that demands and requires everything of your lives.
But when you possess that, when you have that, then you say for yourself: nothing more will happen to me, nothing can knock me down, I am conscious, I know!
I have nothing more to do with the earthly material, social things, even if I live in the midst of it, because I live spiritually, inwardly in the Spheres of Light.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
What will our life be like soon when we leave Gethsemane?
Did we wonder for thousands of characteristics: am I now prepared, am I now ready, can I go?
You can feel it, you can no longer leave that sphere, there are still thousands of things that you must finish.
Asking questions has started in this universe.
Every thought asks you: Oh, just wait a moment, just experience me!
What do you want?
I am faith?
No, I want to know!
Lectures Part 1, 1950
We will climb Golgotha.
I will carry.
Nothing will beat me down, I will work to my dying day.
And now you start to feel that your time is too short, that the time is precious.
One day is awe-inspiring for the space – and is nothing ...!
The night makes you unhappy, because you must lie down and give the material systems the powers in order to sleep, in order to rest in order to be ready again tomorrow.
Hours have passed, but thank God ... you live, you thought about those hours.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
You go straight to Golgotha and you lie down there with the moment, the attunement when the Christ meditated there in Gethsemane and He surrendered to His Deity, His accepting and experiencing.
You can attune yourself to that and then you will be sure for yourself and of yourself, because now a state of spiritual purity enters you.
This is the human head bowing, the wondering: “Am I doing good or was I wrong again?”
But the human being just speaks indiscriminately, the human being just thinks indiscriminately.
He does not wonder: “Is there a hereafter in me?”
I am not talking to that unconscious world, I am now speaking to conscious beings, I am talking to your Divine spark, your Divine attunement, your Divine fatherhood and motherhood of which we will soon together and with regard to the Other Side, the macrocosmos, God and Christ will undergo and experience the growing universe.
At the end of this winter, of these lectures, you can then enjoy the light, the summer, and then you will make a radiating consciousness out of every character trait.
Those are the flowers of your spirit, the orchids of your life blood.
You are strong in many things; why don’t you lay those powers on your character traits to want to experience your growth towards the macrocosmos and not back to the earth?
Take yourself to the light and never again, never again, by means of anything and anything to the darkness, to the disharmony, the devastation, to the Pilate, the Caiaphas’ in this world, by means of your thinking and feeling.
But go straight over Golgotha, conscious and sure with your love, your task, your acting for your father, your mother, your brother, your sister, your children towards the first sphere, that harmony, that justice on the Other Side.
Enter a temple there from now on.
Begin with every character trait, in order to found that with regard to Christ.
Also build from your life a temple of wisdom here in your society, because finally and in the end you are that.
You are a Divine temple because the primal source, the All-Light, the All-Life, the All-Soul, the All-Spirit lives in you.
But you will have to master the personality of that, so will have to earn it by means of love, and it is only then that the God of love will awaken under your human, paternal and maternal heart.
Lectures Part 2, 1951

Golgotha

First they tortured Him there.
Pilate says: “Hit that Human Being, just whip Him.”
It already starts with this.
He gives the order that they must break the Messiah, this Rabbi, substantially.
And now Christ is dragged there into a hut – you can see that soon – and the gentlemen come there, one for one.
They hit the body of a poor Human Being until they are tired out.
They have a whip in their hands.
If they just did it with their fists, but they took a whip and hit wildly at this unfortunate Human Being.
The King for all the worlds is being broken.
He does nothing, He does not say a thing.
He lets it go over him, He gets his slashes.
His body is beaten up as no human being has yet been beaten.
Yes, there are more, they tortured them to death.
Your five year war, your last time, you have already forgotten that, but then it also happened again.
People hit at the good, people must break the good.
The demons of this world do not know any better.
My God, my God, my God, Christ thinks.
But just do not violate Me, do not violate Me, will you.
He accepts it.
He says nothing, nothing, nothing.
They stand there.
The people laugh, Jerusalem laughs, those soldiers begin to sneer.
That brutal violence looks at the God of all life, of Judas and Peter and the apostles.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
The Christ proved that.
He could do that for Pilate.
He could do that for the king of the earth and later to the Caiaphas, immediately for the spatial, social authority.
Then again for society and then to the faith, a higher grade for feeling and thinking.
And then He was faced with His sisters and brothers and then one brother killed the other one.
Then people said: “Go and crush this Rabbi.”
What happened there at those moments, you do not know, people say too little about that.
The preliminary stages which the Christ had to accept during the last days before His Crucifixion, they were awe-inspiring.
Because He proved there – the apostles had to accept that – in that He bowed for the smallest and most wrong.
What Peter said about the Christ: “I do not know that human being”, then Peter almost suffocated in the ‘poverty’, in the soulless, the terrible human part, which the apostles had to accept.
They suffocated in that poverty.
And before them stands a Divine Conscious being, the Messiah, the Christ!
Is it not true, how ...
I want to show you – and the Messiah did that, we learned that, we had to accept that – as a result of this beating, this humiliation, that sullying, that lashing, the spitting upon a Divine Child, He became the Divine one.
If the Christ had hit back then He would have been a human being, an animal-like monster.
But he goes ...
This fragile sheep, this Child lets himself be beaten, this Child lets himself be kicked, spat upon, ill-treated.
People put a crown on his head, a crown of thorns that went through his brain.
He does not mind and He accepts it.
And then John said to Peter: “Can you still understand that?
We followed a madman, a crazy person.
That Man no longer has any will, any personality, He is a lamb, you can slaughter and murder Him.”
The apostles stand there.
The apostles did not get it for nothing.
They were little children, I told you that – they were too.
They did not know that the Divine Conscious one was walking there.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
You do not hear from us that you must be nailed to the cross.
Questions and Answers Part 6, 1951
Gandhi already did wrong by hitting himself for mankind.
Why did he do that?
No God wants that.
Christ did not want that either, on the contrary, people destroyed Him consciously.
Questions and Answers Part 6, 1951
You must only know by which consciousness you are being beaten.
Which consciousness of the earth wants to crush you, wants to lash you?
If that is a great, powerful personality, it is worthwhile.
The Christ devoted himself for this purpose.
He did not devote himself for a human being or for nature, but for the consciousness of this world and He let himself be beaten, He let himself be spat upon and covered in mud, because He knew: I am harmonic and I will remain so.
By means of experiencing foundation upon foundation, life after life, because I became father and mother, I was able to reach the universe of God in the Divine All.
One wrong move of the finger and I will be out.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
Look at those frightening portraits that were painted of the Messiah.
They have hung up the naked, dark, deformed, on the walls, but no one has yet painted His Divine consciousness.
No one sees that.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
Therefore, everything which the Messiah experienced and underwent there, before he went up to Golgotha, you have that in society.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
You must prove what you can do.
You will have to say: “I love that or this.”
Because this remains here; your castles, everything that you possess, remains behind there, you only have a crucifixion.
You are beaten and kicked, and yet that is not necessary.
That is not necessary, He did not mean that.
He gave the example, because you find that evil, that poverty, that unconsciousness, that animal-like carry-on on earth again.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
We always say: We devote our life.
We want to die for the Messiah.
You can nail us to the cross.
But it is more wonderful to be able to say ... to be able to remain in this chaos and to want to live in order to continue His work.
To be able to remain and to want to live is everything, is the perfect, is proving that you know what you want.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
If you want to die for another human being, then that just means weakness.
But if you can live for the human being, as Christ experienced for all his children, for this humanity, then that is Divine expansion.
Lectures Part 1, 1950

The All-Love

And Christ came back from the All-Consciousness to the earth in order to bring the All-Love to earth.
Lectures Part 3, 1952
What did the Christ learn now?
If people hit you here ...
You see, the Christ became divinely responsible.
And that’s the way it is.
When the Christ stood there, the Christ could have darkened the whole of mankind by one look.
But if the Christ had violated the human being, then He would have lost His divine consciousness and darkened Himself.
That therefore becomes disharmony, and by materializing disharmony ...
Now just bite back, just hit and kick back; you hit and kick yourself.
Continue to love.
And before you are that far, nothing has happened.
If you can do that and have achieved that, you are already busy building spiritual foundations.
And they are the geniuses amongst mankind, they are the spiritually sensitive beings.
Those people can never be reached by evil.
They are exceedingly strong and conscious.
Questions and Answers Part 5, 1950
What did Christ say to Peter?
‘Do not hit and do not destroy My divine foundations.’
Questions and Answers Part 6, 1951
One wrong thought from you attuned to that life and you devote your whole sacred spiritual spatial possession again because of that hitting and kicking, and you are back in the previous one again.
Questions and Answers Part 5, 1950
But here we are ... and then you get this beating.
The good is beaten, but the good finishes its task.
The good, as a human being, wants to experience this task, and does nothing.
And now you will see: the pure, spiritual, Divine foundations come forward, they build themselves up.
And that is then the only ... that is then the only grip for you as a human being in this society, this world.
If you ... if people would, if people want to hit you: do nothing and accept it.
Because if you hit back – did you not receive the proof in your society, in life? – it is only then that you will think and feel and then understand the possession, the only possession, the good in you, has suddenly gone from your life and then you can begin again.
Begin again in order to prove, in order to place that crown on the mind, on the emotional life, on the accepting, the surrendering, and the serving.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
That is the human being – you must learn that – that is the human being who will not repay evil with evil, no longer becomes angry, can no longer be angry, because then you lose the spiritual foundation, then you are deception, then you become lying, then you become destruction, then you become passion and violence.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
And then we lay down, and then we took up our position for the human being who is hard-handed, the human being who spits, who covers in mud, gossips about, who kills everything that he does not understand, cannot comprehend.
We positioned ourselves and said: “Do what you want with me, I am one and all surrender.
No harsh words will pass my lips again, no abuse, no sullying.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
Just think for a moment in that Jerusalem, in that dungeon there, where five, six, seven wild brutes charge at Him, charge at you, take the garment from your body, rip it, so that you sit there naked.
And then they come with a whip, then they come with a crown of thorns, then you are given a crown to wear ...
The crown of sorrow, the crown of lowliness, the crown of being nothing, feeling nothing, experiencing nothing.
You get to wear the crown, people nail it through your brain.
The blood – yes, what is blood? – the blood flows, stings, it drips, but grimness lives in you which says: “Just do to me what you want, you will lose anyway.
After all, you can never conquer me, if I remain in harmony with Him, as a result of whom I came here and as a result of whom I received my life.
Just hit me – you will hit yourself.
Just sully me – you will sully yourself.
Just rape me in feeling – you have already raped yourself.
Deform my motherhood – you are deforming yourself, you are murdering yourself, you are destroying yourself, you are poisoning yourself.
You do everything, everything, everything if you reach out a finger to me, because I come from Him who is everything.
I come with love, I come with happiness, I come with energy for building up, pure, spiritual evolution and you can get my blood for that.
I know – you do not know.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
Peter was already powerless when he said: “Where is the Divine Spark in this Life now?”
Andrew said ...
The holy John, who is like a child, began to doubt.
Because is this Divine authority, when you are beaten, when you are kicked and lashed?
“John, you are alive anyway”, Christ could have said, but they did not understand that.
“That you are there, John, Andrew, Peter, that is everything.
By means of that you represent God as father, as mother, as universe, as sphere, as light, as life, as soul and spirit!
But for and by means of everything in love.
And what is that love, Peter?
Look what I do, I love this child.”
Did you think that the Messiah thought for one moment: Pilate, Pilate ... if I just wave then you will be gone.
Then he would have murdered this life by means of concentration and consciousness.
What another life must do by means of a dagger, by means of that lashing, the Christ could have done that by means of his thoughts.
He did not do it.
He stood there pure and unblemished and accepted that sullying.
Lectures Part 1, 1950

Cosmic openness

But realize well, the human being, society, the animal-like carry-on, the unconscious slaughtered Him there.
It is the human being.
He did not die for mankind; people murdered Him consciously.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
Christ did not say anything.
He who says: “Look there, that thief”, yes indeed, you have it easy.
I told you, always compare it to your society.
When you see the true thief, you cannot say that it is a spiritually conscious being, then it is a thief.
But when they say to you, say to the consciousness of the first sphere and do not understand that – and the words come: you saw your prophet, but you did not recognize him – then that is for you.
Then you laugh at that destruction, then you laugh when people nail you to the cross, because the human being on earth does not understand you, does not know you, does not feel you.
It is you alone.
And then you laugh at this.
When your friend says: “Why did you insult me?
Why did you do so much to me?”
You do not even ask that anymore.
When you have been cheated for a thousand, for two thousand and for ten, then you think: I certainly needed that blow in order to awaken, in order to know and to understand how it must not be done.
But you do not follow those people.
You do not even want to hate those people, you only say: “My God, my God, why did you cheat yourself through me?
Why did you hit yourself again?
Not to the cross, but why do you hit and connect yourself to that darkness again, to that satanic, the deception of this world, the poverty, the misery?
Lectures Part 1, 1950
If they steal from you, then just let them go, then you must wait.
If they devastate and destroy you, speak ill of you, then you must not want to be involved with those lives.
You will have to accept those lives one day anyway.
But you do not need to go and live in lies and deception, if you know that it is wrong.
This is why Christ came, only with love.
Can you feel this?
Simple, after all.
The pure love of Christ takes care of everything.
Questions and Answers Part 6, 1951
If you just feel that, that your husband, your wife, cannot cheat you, because they cheat themselves!
You are sacrosanct when you keep the spiritual personality in your hands.
And then the sacred, pure, spatial love speaks.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
Oh, the picture is touchingly beautiful which I see and I stand immediately before the Christ when He said: “You are material and you will return to material.”
He could have immediately added, but the people in Jerusalem would not have understood: “Because your inner life will soon represent the All-Source as mother.
You cannot destroy anything, even if you want to nail Me to the cross, you only just destroy your own self.”
Lectures Part 3, 1952
But it happens there!
Here ... one person takes the whip in his hands in order to kill the good in the human being!
And He who can do everything, who does not take a dagger, who does not spit, who does not say a harsh word, because he knows: when I say a harsh word, when I would say: “Dirt, leave me alone, I did not do anything to you, did I?”
The Knowledge, the Consciousness does not even say that, because the Consciousness does not need to say that, that animal-like will not understand that anyway.
You do not need to defend yourself with regard to the lower, incomprehensible, unkind self, your words are not accepted.
You will not beat it in, you just have to accept it.
In a thousand years’ time then Pilate, then those executioners will be that far and then they will wonder: my God, what did I receive, what did I do?
But how did that awaken?
Because those executioners also experienced in this way and were whipped.
Because there will come a time when you will take the harmonic laws of God back to the Divine harness.
And then another one will beat it into you and then you will start to understand how painful that is and then you are sitting in the same place.
And because you know and feel that you are powerless anyway against such seething violence, you do not say anything either, and you accept it.
And that is the beginning for the first human, material becoming conscious, and a foundation under your feet.
The beginnings in order to continue and to absorb Jerusalem into you, to soon enter Golgotha.
But who does that?
Lectures Part 1, 1950

Remaining harmonious

The Messiah let himself be beaten there, because evil means nothing ‘beyond the coffin’!
You go and calmly do your work, you go and represent society and you let yourself be snapped at and hit, tortured and lashed.
You take yourself to that other self and say: “Just beat me to death, because you cannot even reach my soul and my life and my spirit, that belongs to that there.”
Lectures Part 1, 1950
We went back from Golgotha to Caiaphas and rising up again and we let ourselves be nailed to the cross.
And what does all of that mean?
What did the Christ mean by that?
If He – I explained to you and the Spheres of Light prove that to you, that is the first sphere, they are those heavens, they are the ‘great wings’ – had already sent out one wrong remark or feeling inwardly to Herod, Caiaphas, Pilate, then the Christ would have lost His Divine All and consciousness.
He would no longer have been able to feel it, because He would have attuned himself to the evil, to the not wanting to understand, to the dominion of the earth, mankind.
He did not take part in that destruction, on the contrary, He remained himself.
Lectures Part 2, 1951
There are people who say: “I have everything, if only the human being knew me.”
But why do you talk, why do you still think so gloomily about your sisters and brothers?
How can you enter the first sphere, how can you lay a spiritual foundation if it is always you?
We had to accept; if the human being does not understand me, then that is not the unconscious, but it is I, me.
Christ did not say to the human being: Go away from me, gloomy person.
“No”, Christ says. “I must now accept that I do not possess the power to be able to explain it to you, but I will still be able to elevate you in your life.”
Because is it not true, people slandered Him.
The human being – just accept – the human being who violates Divine life, feeling, and spits in that life’s face just like that.
They spat at Christ there in Jerusalem.
Just do that here, just hit a human being as people hit the Christ there.
Crowns go over the street, and the human being is beheaded.
But you no longer do that on the Other Side.
There you will have to start to carry, start to love the human being, the life of your Deity.
And then your personality will no longer speak: “All the things I am doing and all the things I have done.”
You represent your own life.
The crucial point now is how you do that.
But those are the laws, and those are the foundations.
Christ gave you everything.
He gave us the example to bow, to always say ... yes, if the human being, if Pilate wants to be right, and Caiaphas wanted to be right, in addition there is the unconscious being, the Barabbas, then the spiritually conscious being says: “You are right.
But I am going.”
Lectures Part 2, 1951
Here you will live and die.
You will be hammered to the cross here, but you will still not be dead, you will still be alive.
In these hours now, this hour and a half, between half past ten in the morning and half past three in the afternoon, it must happen, then you put the crown on every thought.
Now you must prove whether you do not get angry.
Here, you can receive seven hours from the Messiah, from your God in order to prove that you do not get angry, in order to prove what you want.
You are now tortured for seven hours and up to the last moment you can say: “Now it is over.
Now I have proven what I want.”
And it is only then that it is the law, the way, the light in the first sphere.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
During these short hours during which it must happen, you have to prove whether you are friend, are brother, are father, mother.
Here you must prove whether you love, have light, what you want.
Here you can prove whether you want to follow and can accept the earth with all that mud, or the better in you, the serving.
There, in those last moments, then you cut back the own self and it will probably say: “Eh ...”
And that screaming is no use to the Christ, you are already weak.
Then He says: “So a groan fell from your lips after all.
Yet, you were not yet conscious for those sorrows, that beating, that lashing ... which was for yourself anyway, not for me, not for society, but for yourself. Yet you succumbed for a moment.”
That was Peter!
“Before the cock crows, you will betray me three times.”
The smallest insect from Mother Nature can tell you that, because you betray it again.
Does there ... does there never come a thought in you that you can say: “This is finished.
I can compare this to Golgotha, now I have possession”?
Lectures Part 1, 1950
Now you come.
You could only experience that sad sorrow in His eyes.
He himself stood there in this way for the human being.
You must be able to stand like that for every character trait, as if God is standing before you.
You must begin, when you take the word to another and you are listening or speaking, then you must start to think that you always want to experience the reality by means of your word, because your word is a universe.
And every wrong thought – we learned that by means of the Christ – the destruction, you meet that.
Or would you wish to think that that from the past and last year and from ten, twenty years ago, has disappeared?
Yes, gone like that, dissolved, evaporated?
That stands there before you.
Lectures Part 2, 1951

The All-Light

You know the problem of Golgotha, but the Golgotha in the human being, the human being does not know that.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
These are the laws which apply for the whole of humanity!
Judas, Pilate, Caiaphas and others, they are now faced with Golgotha.
The Peoples of the Earth seen by the Other Side, 1941
But soon we will accept death by crucifixion.
We will drag that cross up the hill.
If you want to make the symbolism real, as the Messiah could, then we drag every wrong thought up on our shoulders, in order to soon – you will experience that by means of the next session, or afterwards – to behead, to smother it at Golgotha.
You, the human being will nail every wrong thought consciously to a cross.
And you look at that, because you are now capable of giving your blood of life for space, for fatherhood and motherhood, for the light of this world.
The light of this world, because this life is yours, that was born under your heart.
You covered millions of lives, you conquered millions of worlds, but you have not yet reached that spiritual ultimate grade.
And we now fight for that.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
Just lay that down on your cross.
Kill everything in you if it crops up and wants to break the other life.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
We know: we died for something and now we must be convinced that every thought will undergo a crucifixion.
Every thought must be dematerialized by the personality.
It must get the spiritual becoming conscious and then the awakening in the human being.
And that is just for one thought; now the whole of society!
We go again over the earth, through this mankind and then we will have to establish in which grade of consciousness we have come.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
Is it not becoming difficult?
Are you still not afraid?
We are not afraid.
We will oppose it.
If the mistakes are there then we bring them to Golgotha and then they will be crucified.
We lay down in joy in order to ring the neck of those rotten character traits.
Do you do that?
Are you so seriously busy with yourself?
Lectures Part 2, 1951
From now on you give all your character traits the ‘great wings’ of and from the Temple of Isis.
You let every wrong character trait die.
You nail all those rotten things to the cross.
You consciously take the hammer in your hands and hammer in that nail, you consciously turn the neck of that rottenness, that wrong character trait.
Do you do that?
Lectures Part 2, 1951
But here you stand before your society.
You have to learn how it should not be done, but how it will be done with regard to – I taught you – Gethsemane, Pilate, Caiaphas, Golgotha.
I said: so nail the unconscious, dominating character traits of you consciously to the cross, crucify them, strangle those wrong thoughts.
Lectures Part 3, 1952
And you can hang them up, kill every wrong thought and hang that thought down before you.
You want beautiful paintings, you want books, you want art, but hang your thoughts around you like living corpses, then you will understand what you live for.
You do not even dare that!
You beautify yourself from outside, but from inside ...?
Lectures Part 1, 1950
We went upwards, the cross on our shoulders.
We did not want anyone to come and help us, we claimed all of this for ourselves, because we now knew that every form of help is fatal.
Every form of help takes us to the human, material, earthly comfort, laziness, disintegration, and destruction.
We saw, we experienced, we now accept that we will experience those laws for a hundred percent, or the final core, if that grade begins to live, it will not belong to us.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
On the way we meet someone who will help us carry; the Christ has sympathy for this child.
“Let me help you to carry.
You succumb, You have already succumbed.”
“I want to succumb”, He said.
Stay away from it – He did not even say that.
That poor child, that Joseph who takes up the cross there and helps the Christ to carry it.
I can give you ten lectures about his following lives, the poverty of which he felt.
A Christ, a human being who is conscious, does not even let the other life carry, because you want to experience those pains, those sorrows; the mother wants to experience them herself.
The man cannot even receive them, he is also too insensitive for that.
People thought that people could help the Christ.
It does not concern the Christ here, it concerns a life that is cosmic, and is Divinely conscious.
That no longer lets itself be carried, that child accepts, that life understands.
That does not let itself be denied any foundations when it comes down to it.
Because here we are faced with Divine justice.
When that child came into the Spheres of Light, then it lay weeping.
“I violated the consciousness of God.
I wanted to help God carry.”
Christ could have said: “Carry yourself, stay away from this cross.”
The Divine conscious, the human being in the spheres, in that paradise where you will soon come, he no longer lets himself be carried, he has love in everything.
Because if I let myself be carried, then you will diddle the love out of my heart and then I will have lost it.
“I will live, serve, carry, always for Myself”, Christ said that.
The human being in society wants to be carried.
Here we get the example of the truth, here we are faced with all or nothing: what do you want, where are you going?
What did that Simon want, what did that Joseph want?
“May I help you?”
The Christ looks round, He says: “Child, accept.”
Inwardly He gets a sorrow, a sorrow, which overcomes Him.
And then He succumbed again by means of that sorrow, that the human being wanted to help carry Him.
That the human being thought he could experience a Divine space.
That human being ...
That cross is a Divine space, they are the laws, and they are the planets, suns and stars.
There a human being comes and wants to take suns and planets on his shoulders in order to help carry that Divine Consciousness.
People look that Divine Conscious being in the eye.
The human being expects a small smile from the Divine Conscious being, the Messiah.
He says: “Oh, are you not pleased?”
Yes, I am pleased, because you beat My consciousness to pieces.
I have laid foundations for millions of centuries and now you make a weakling of Me again.
Christ could have said that to the man who helped Him to carry.
A woman is standing by the road and places a cloth on His face.
He has sympathy, He has love for the little mother.
He gives her His face, His feeling.
But what did people make of it?
Lectures Part 1, 1950
What do you do as man and wife?
I hope that you will understand this, that you will learn from this that you must do everything yourself.
That you must never place your things on another, even if it is your wife, even if it is your husband, because you now possess nothing more.
You must prove for every characteristic that it is you.
We learned that, we had to accept and then we started to understand what the Christ meant to accept Golgotha, to let the Golgotha in us die.
Lectures Part 1, 1950
People came to Jerusalem as tourists, but they also came as pilgrims to Gethsemane and they experienced Jerusalem.
There were some who wanted to drive up Golgotha with their car and wanted to experience the Christ.
They stopped their car, they locked it up and then they said: “So, it was here.”
Do you see?
“He died here.
Because I am from the church, I love.
I do everything.”
But he went up with his car, with his possession, with the stamping of his boots, but the actual, spatial, spiritual human being goes up barefoot and if it is necessary, naked.
In this way the state of purity in the human being appears for the Messiah and then he experiences the just life of feeling of him and her, the mother and the father of this universe, as a result of which this life was born.
Lectures Part 2, 1951
