If we had not known that the Tall One was with Our Lord, you would have thought that it was he who is now inspiring the boys.

What they are now doing is like him and they are the characteristics of the Tall One, one by one the boys have stepped into his personality, even if Jeus, Teun and Miets dangle along as the sensitive part of Crisje.

Jeus has now also changed over to the world of his father, can you believe it, Tall One, your personality rules over everything!

You have won from Crisje!

The boys take after you, but if you later think that you can rest on your laurels with the boys, then Crisje will win from you.

And now you cannot lift a finger, because Our Lord is standing in front of and next to Crisje with all HIS power and you can bow your head again.

If in the future you should think, now the time will come to do something nice, then there will not be a cent left, Crisje is also working for ‘Das Stolzen Fels am Rhein’, but in her way and straight to Our Lord.

What the boys bring home today is gone tomorrow!

Away, Tall One; if you understand me, you will know it completely!

Have your boys so much faith in Crisje?

She is bringing the scales back into balance, Tall One, and that is all!

“Come on, Jeus, we are going to ‘Das Stolzen Fels am Rhein”.

It is Hendrik who now lays down the laws, and he has to accept them.

The bags are in the woods ... It is quiet in nature, you hear the trees calling you rude names, he feels, but that does not get through to Hendrik.

They have already been on the road for an hour, when Hendrik suggests:

“So, let’s have a rest, Jeus.

We have already been walking for an hour.

A sandwich would be nice now and that will taste good.

Just sit down for it, Jeus, no one can tell you how to do it, and you can decide for yourself!”

Little Hendrik is like that.

He now gets a lecture from his little brother in case something should happen.

“You stay behind us, Jeus.

We are approaching the most dangerous places.

Otherwise, you can talk to me as much as you like, but quietly.

If we hear something, then you can run and of course, you know the woods.

If they shoot, then you just run as fast as you can through the graves and then they will not get you.

That is everything, really!”

Jeus really enjoys the nighttime silence.

Would Jan Knie’p and uncle Gradus not like this?

And yes, he sees those two; they are running through the woods and are not afraid.

Jan and uncle Gradus have left their heavens in order to be ghosts on earth.

However, Jeus prefers this, because it is now so muggy in the attic, and you have space here.

You become so melancholic there, so old, and he does not want to experience that yet.

Here you get a fresh atmosphere and that is from Our Lord himself!

But he is going to ‘Das Stolzen Fels am Rhein’, and this is also something to think about, you will learn a lot.

And there is danger attached to it.

They can shoot you, but shooting is nothing!

You live anyway!

You cannot even die, if you die you will live on!

Otherwise Jan Knie’p and uncle Gradus would not be here now.

And they are there too!

There they go, they want to go further, can you believe it, they think as people do here, as they did here.

People are like that!

When father sung ‘Das Stolzen Fels’, they were staves, now it concerns money.

Now they sing the praises of marks ... and that song sounds really good, people can eat from it, get a new suit to wear, have a pig and much more.

“Hushhhhhhhhhh!

Have you gone mad, Jeus?”

Gerrit gives him a nudge, he is talking out loud, and that must not happen.

That is dangerous.

They may whisper only.

But sometimes you forget that you are smuggling.

Sometimes you do not even know anymore, that you have five hundred bars of chocolate on you and that there are soldiers who want to catch you, but that must not happen.

They would like that.

You could hear banging every minute and that is also something strange, you now feel tension and that gives power to the machine; you are walking faster.

But they do not want to hear any bangs.

“Come on, Jeus, we have to leave.”

“But where are we anyway, Hendrik?

I cannot work it out any more.”

“Do you not know your own woods anymore, Jeus?”, Hendrik asks.

“But my God, Hendrik, you are running backwards and forwards.”

“Hushhhh ... anyway!

I told you to whisper, didn’t I?

And you have to remember that.”

“Yes, Hendrik.

I will not forget it again.

No, I cannot work it out anymore.

How did you discover this path, Hendrik?”

“You will not believe me, Jeus, when I tell you that we can get at least a thousand guilders for this path.

You see it for yourself; no one can keep to the path.

But we have cats’ eyes.

Now and again, we walk for a little while over a path, then we crawl immediately into the woods again and no one can find us anymore.

We will soon be off the road again and it is that, Jeus, but now keep to the right road, that is the art of it!”

It is true; they have been walking in a round-about way for three hours.

In ten minutes, they could have reached the border, but now they run through the woods, for hours, but it is the long way round!

Straight to the Hunzeleberg, the three hundred metres and behind it the ‘Stolzen Fels am Rhein’!

Hendrik is amazing, Jeus senses, he is as father was.

He also says so when he tells his little brother: “It is true, Hendrik, you can do everything.

You are just like father was.”

Hendrik reacts differently and asks him:

“Are you enjoying it, Jeus?”

“I don’t know yet, Hendrik.

I am not afraid of anything, you know that, don’t you, but this?”

He now hears from Hendrik, what he did not know yet how much Hendrik loves him.

And he says that just like that.

It is like a pure lucidity in the woods, the great thing of now and the stars, the soft rustle for and in his life.

“Remember, Jeus, I will let myself be shot ten times before they can aim at you!”

Isn’t that something?

He is already crying.

Good heavens, that touches you.

He gives Hendrik back all his kind-heartedness.

“Good gracious, Hendrik, that is really something.

I can cry about that.”

Gerrit says, hushhhh, they may not experience any pettiness, every moment there is danger, they may not think about themselves for a second.

But it is there now, he did not know that Hendrik loved him so much.

“We’re talking too loudly, Jeus”, Hendrik says, “Gerrit is right, it is becoming dangerous.”

Hendrik presses Jeus’ hand, and that is just like mother’s milk, that is the hand of Our Lord.

Now, everything is going well, you will see.

Hendrik is like father was, Hendrik does not show his emotions easily, but they live in his heart.

Hendrik has never forgotten what he did for the household and he is repaying him now, but he did not know it.

Hendrik could not have given him any greater happiness.

They shuffle along like this.

They are almost at the Hunzeleberg and they decide to rest there.

Now they are standing before the three hundred metres.

Here you can get a beating.

There is a narrow path.which goes straight to the Brook.

You have a bare surface over that little path which rises steeply.

At least one hundred and fifty metres and then there are woods again and no more danger.

This part is the worst.

Now they live under tension, you feel your heart thumping heavily, you do not know why that is; you are not afraid, are you?

But that tension is there and it remains there until you are at the top.

Jeus literally holds onto his heart.

Yes, Hendrik, what is that?

Are those people the customs officers?

Are they the soldiers?

Those men should know that.

No, he is not afraid, if they should shout ‘halt’; he would just take off.

He knows exactly what Hendrik meant.

The soldiers disappear; they shuffle along calmly and did not know that they were nearly walking on their heads.

“Were you afraid, Jeus?”

“No, Hendrik.”

“That is the nicest thing there is, Jeus.

Now you can hear your own heart talking.

And that is an entirely different story than at home.

Isn’t it?

This is the most dangerous part.

Perhaps you will not see any customs officer in a thousand years, but now you have seen them, haven’t you?

That is a chance of one in a thousand, as long as you know, but they are there.

Now watch out.

I’ll go ahead, Jeus.

You and Gerrit bring the bars of chocolate.

I will check the road.

That is a dangerous bit, but we can run fast.

You must crawl up there on your stomach, nice and crouched down, mustn’t you?

Then they cannot see you easily.

We picked our best bilberries here, Jeus.

Do you not remember?”

“I know, Hendrik”, is all he can say.

The tension has got to him like that.

It is quite something!

Hendrik lies down just beside the path in a ditch and watches.

Is there more to see?

No, not here and there, those dopes wander along and they do not hear you anymore, because all that they can hear is their own shuffling.

It is amazing, he thinks, what Hendrik does not think about.

Good heavens, how much he loves Hendrik, you feel that tonight the strongest.

He would not miss Hendrik for all the money in the world.

Yet, he does not have this with Gerrit.

Gerrit does not really belong to this; Gerrit does not give you this happy feeling.

Your heart is laughing, the woods are singing, he kisses Hendrik with every footstep.

Nevertheless, it is uncertain, you are no longer yourself and yet you are, but you feel different.

It is in your head, in your legs, everything is working, but in the wrong direction.

However, he is not afraid.

If he was to tell Hendrik and Gerrit that Jan Knie’p and uncle Gradus were there as well, they would be afraid, and he is not afraid of it now.

Jan and uncle Gradus, he sees, have left their attic and want to know what he is up to.

Why are people afraid of the living dead?

Now comes the jump over the open space.

Gerrit advances, and Jeus follows him.

Hendrik is at the top, but they have not heard anything.

Soon they may have a cigarette without fear.

They are so sure then, even if they still have to cover a distance through the woods.

But the bars of chocolate are also there.

And now watch out!

There is Hendrik, carry on, quickly now, we must finish this job.

Hendrik and Gerrit find their bearings by the trees.

They notice it by the soles of their shoes, because the Hunzeleberg then demands their balance.

That is their balance with regard to Mother Earth, but by means of that they know exactly whether they must go up one metre and go down too low and that must not happen, if they want to see their path on German territory.

This path through the woods has been marked out to the last millimetre, which is of the utmost importance, in order to succeed.

Hendrik goes in front again.

They follow.

Hendrik and Gerrit have been running this day and night, until they could follow their path in the strangest weather.

Even if it is pitch black and you cannot see a thing in front of you, they can still find their way by the crowns of the trees.

They then walk upwards to have a look and know exactly which holes are in those trees at nighttime.

In this way, Gerrit and Hendrik have had to remember millions of those holes and it was only then that Hendrik said:

‘It is okay, Gerrit, we can now start on a large scale!’

And this is the case.

Five hundred bars of chocolate are now dangling on their backs, good stuff belonging to John State, but he can drop dead.

Or is it a mother?

Then we can say it more softly, and then it is called the ‘droodles’.

Many others are also smuggling, but they get a beating almost every night.

Not the boys, so there are many who would like to go with them, however, they don’t do so, because they will be betrayed tomorrow anyway.

They are better off on their own.

Or they wouldn’t be worthy of Tall Hendrik.

They now reach the small narrow path.

And Germany!

This is ‘Das Stolzen Fels am Rhein’, Jeus, Hendrik tells him.

You know that nice song which you always had to sing for father and which father won those prizes with.

“But now it concerns marks and that is an entirely different story.”

What do you do as a father and you are alive, and you see your boys walking along like that?

You would have respect for your own flesh and blood, and the Tall One feels that.

Even Gradus and Jan Knie’p feel their fun; this is something completely different compared to the fun in heaven.

St Peter can tell the best jokes, but that?

You will not forget that so quickly, and Our Lord knows all about it; at the end of the day it is HE who has a say about Karel, Jan, Nico and the Tall Hendrik, but they are there anyway.

Or, Jeus determines for himself, they could not leave paradise.

“Oh, those boys?

How did it go?

Wonderful!

Have you not brought any sausage?”

“No, tonight we have not got any sausage.

The day after tomorrow I think”, Hendrik gives that ‘Stolzen Fels am Rhein’ which is hungry.

Never heard of it?

We have earned two hundred and fifty guilders, Jeus.

Isn’t that something?

And we do not pay a cent of tax on it.

The State throws it away anyway.

And we will bring it to Crisje, for later.

When it is all over, we will start a farm.

Hosman will like that.

Money from a devil?

Oh, come on, don’t be so sober.

We know better.

It is a healthy sport!

They now take another path back, that is quicker.

Now they may put their shoes on, crackling does not mean anything anymore.

However, they have rubber shoes, nice and soft and you can run in them.

They are now home in a good hour, because they take a short cut through the woods, and head straight home, and no one stops them.

Hendrik is curious and asks:

“What did you think of it, Jeus?”

Yes, what can he say?

He does not know yet.

A quieter job means more to him.

But that messing around for the ‘krauts’ is not great either.

No, he does not know yet.

But he will think about it.

Before the sun comes up, they are home.

Now a nice sleep and dreaming, plenty of money, there are no worries.

And he is no longer a scaredy cat.

But what was it like, Jan, uncle Gradus?

What did you think of it?

Jeus sees Jan has left.

And believes he has gone to tell St Peter.

How the angels will laugh.

The angels will tell it to Our Lord again and then all the heavens will know.

Are the children on earth satisfied for the moment?

Do you hear them praying now?

It does not cost anything, a whip is not necessary anymore.

How childish people are.

Then he fell asleep, and did not even dream, because he knew how dead ordinary it was!

Crisje, what do you want now?

She has heard that Jeus went along, and has something to say, of course.

However, Jeus speaks first.

“Did you think, mother, that I would let myself be called a scaredy cat any longer?”

Crisje says back to him: “That is better than you become a thief.”

But then there already follows again: “But this is not stealing, mother!”

“That is all very well, this is not honest, other people have to suffer for it!”

Then you can make everything out to be good, but this is just the way mother is.

“But that is money from a devil”, Crisje continues.

She wants to release him from that smuggling, and he reacts:

“Are you trying to tell me, mother, that this is committing a sin?”

“That is something completely different and you know that as well.”

“But the Baron does it as well, mother.”

Yes, now what?

The Baron is also smuggling?

Who is not smuggling, Crisje thinks, but that is just not allowed by Our Lord and that is the end of the story.

Crisje is against it and that will remain so.

You cannot justify it; you have to earn your money in an honest way.

Believe it, she will know!

“Jeus, leave it!”

“Yes, mother, I will make sure of that!”

“When will we go out again, Hendrik?”

“Let’s see, Jeus.

Monday, I think.

No, not Monday.

Wednesday, I think, then it will rain and then it will be nice and dark.

Just have a rest, Jeus, now you can rest on your laurels and that is also worth something.”

Yes, they have a nice rest.

At about twelve o’clock some food and drink in bed, then a bicycle ride along the observatory and let the new doves fly, it is a great little life for Hendrik and Gerrit.

However, Crisje goes on; she buys goods, and gives it all away!

People come from the heart of Berlin to her life to get something.

Mother Crisje is already well known there!

As far away as Poland!

She does not know how the people heard it, but they are sent to her house and leave with food and drink.

Do not cheat me!

Also give your fellow people something to eat from it or you will get nothing more from here, these mothers also have the right to life and have children.

They reply to her:

‘But of course, Mother Crisje, of course, Mother Crisje, we will share.’

But that did not happen and Crisje felt that.

Those thoughts suddenly reached her world.

Crisje also knows whom those thoughts came from.

Jeus also knows, because Jan Knie’p told him, that he must now help Crisje.

Jan now made sure that they could not cheat mother.

When those krauts came back and said that they had shared honestly, Crisje could tell from their faces that they were cheating her, from that moment onwards Father Christmas was completely deaf to these people!

Crisje’s only reaction to this was, ‘No, but then you should not have lied.

You are only thinking of yourselves and that does not happen in our house!

We do not intend to be fooled.

Even if you think that we are mad, we are doing this for Our Lord.

Do you not know what that is?

Here, we call that working for Our Lord; do you want to cheat him?’

They would like that, but that is not on!

Jan is there as well.

Hendrik and Gerrit now think that it is in mother’s heart, that Crisje is on their side, but they will soon learn to understand that, and then they can complain.

Jan just will not leave.

Jan runs day and night about the attic.

And these psychic phenomena he already got to know in Nijmegen.

Sometimes Jan goes along and tells what can be expected, and it always comes true.

Jeus notices, Jan prefers to be with Crisje, and feels divine here, and Jeus can understand that.

Jan sometimes says:

‘I have come back again for a while, Jeus; it is so nice here with Crisje.

You probably won’t believe it, but sometimes I miss Crisje.’

And he can also understand that, because Jan and mother were such good friends and Jan was a good person.

Then Jan told him as well, that he was watching over Crisje.

However, that was father’s job, but Jan made every effort for it.

And this was because Our Lord lived here and was not allowed to be sullied, but for which Crisje served.

Crisje did not risk her life for thieves, she did not want to take care of thieves and hypocrites, this was only for the children of Our Lord, Jan Knie’p said to Jeus, which made Jeus tremble and shake because it was so beautiful!

Everywhere, he now saw and experienced that, you saw the hand of Our Lord; however, not for Hendrik and little Gerrit, they lost their money, and that was an entirely different story!

It was also at this time that these psychic phenomena began.

There was creaking day and night in the attic, and it was not mice, but dead people walking in the attic.

There was Jan, uncle Gradus, Peter Smadel, he also saw other, unknown people who were having the greatest fun.

One day in conversation Crisje remarked: “I have had Jan with me for so long already, Jeus’, Jan sometimes comes and pays a visit”... that was the proof for him that he was not losing his marbles and that he was healthy and had both feet firmly on the ground.

Then he started to think.

Jan has received other work, you can also do something for your life there, but everything is for Our Lord.

He knows Bernard also has the powers in him to see Jan and uncle Gradus; through the powers of all the boys it is creaking in the attic.

You sometimes see chairs and pieces of wood move.

A while ago, he was sitting with Hendrik at a table.

Suddenly he saw flames jumping around the table, there was also a smell of burning, and Crisje knew that they were getting up to ‘hocus pocus’ again, which she did not want to know anything about, it was devil’s work.

Hendrik did not see the flames, but Jeus knew it happened through Hendrik’s powers, he also saw those clouds in his life, as a result of which those things could happen.

Also this, which Jeus saw and experienced, is part of the upbringing, the development and Casje is taking care of it.

Now that the inner life cannot be manipulated, Casje connects him to the physical phenomena in order to open the central nervous system for the inner life of Jeus.

That is for later, the organic system does not remain behind now.

Since contact was obtained with physical laws, through which Casje removes the physical organs from his own life aura thus expanding the nervous system, which enabled a piece of wood to dance, to creak in the attic, and you could hear the tick, tick, left and right, in front of and behind you, Jeus was not afraid of it, only he became so tired inside.

But then what will it be like when Casje really begins?

Direct contact with Jeus’ inner life is not necessary now; he must first experience his own life.

The flying behind the coffin does not mean a thing to him, because his life is open to something completely different, heavens and sacred matters can get lost, for all he cares.

But from time to time, he has to experience something of the occult or his development will die off, and that is not the intention.

Life carries on.

Wageman has too much to drink now and again, but he has changed.

Crisje can now accept that Hendrik now has his normal fun like all the men have during their drinking session, because that is what it is about!

Jeus is now working on the land with Dien Gutter Pisser, Anneke Hosman and others, this life suits him very well.

Now they can talk about their rich past; about the time when they were allowed to play on the clouds and did not realize that they had received supernatural things from the hands of Our Lord or HIS angels, of which Casje was one and of good character too!

That work is better than the smuggling, you lose your own silence and your paradise through those nights and that is good for nothing.

They say that Jeus and Anneke will become a couple and Anneke is really nice.

However, Casje does not approve.

Casje is now after him, how it is possible, it is he who is open to that childlike love, and not Jeus; he also has nothing to say about this.

If you wish to believe it, danger is now threatening for Casje.

How easily does such a sensitive boy not kiss; a girl is open to it, especially if your kind-heartedness shines out and life has something different to tell you, you grasp that pure love, all the girls want to possess it.

Jeus cannot say now for himself: I am mad about girls, because Casje lives and acts precisely between those feelings.

Those who now follow him wonder whether he is a dead dog, because why does he not react?

But Jeus cannot react, something refuses inside, that feeling is dominated by another and that is Casje, who says: ‘no, plenty of time, Jeus!’

I do not intend to put you on a farm here, you have something else to do in this life and we will soon work together for Our Lord, and for this so beaten humanity!

Is that not an entirely different story, Jeus?

However, he does not know.

The potatoes have been harvested, the fun is over, but Anneke does not know it.

She will also get her own love to experience, and that boy is already there, but it is not Jeus.

Millions of souls live on earth and think, ‘I want that one’, but that one is actually for someone else, people are faced then with laws of which they will not realize the depth or the origin, because they belong to the inner life and they know nothing about it; that life must reveal itself to the personality.

This is the most wonderful thing there is for everyone!

A person is suddenly faced with his love.

He immediately knows it, a while later he knows that he must make up for it or he will get it for free, but now there is always one who will be beaten, it is usually the case, isn’t it?

And Jeus will get to know those laws, but through Casje, and will then pass them on to the children of Our Lord through his books, for which he will serve and live!

Now watch out, when it becomes serious and Jeus longs for a bit of love, then Casje will share with him according to universal concepts and he will draw his life up a bit to his inner consciousness, then Jeus will experience something.

This will serve again for his awakening, when sensitive blows can fall, and he will also receive kind-heartedness, if he wants to act according to the inner feelings and thoughts of Casje, but we already know that, at the end of the day Jeus is not a dry old stick.

From everything that his master, Casje, gives him to experience, he produces worldly wisdom.

And is there anything more beautiful to experience on earth?

That will be Jeus’ life!

What Gerrit and Hendrik do for Our Lord is not to be sneezed at either.

Mothers come to get something for their children.

However, those mothers have to go back over the border.

If they go by their own strength, they will be caught.

Now Hendrik and Gerrit smuggle for all those people and make sure that they stay out of the hands of the customs officers, for which these souls are grateful, of course.

Crisje now knows that it is going well, there will not be a cent left!

You hear nothing but:

‘Thanks very much, Mother Crisje, Our Lord knows all about it.’

And that is the truth.

Our Lord knows exactly what she is doing, in this way HIS children still come back to the universal control, Crisje makes sure of it, otherwise it would look terrible.

As a result, Our Lord gets HIS most beautiful ‘orchids’ sent from the earth to HIS life.

Jeus knows it is a time for inner discovery, a time to ask yourself: what do I live for, really!

And finally you see after all that, despite all those troubles, life demands you to follow HIS laws, if you do not do that as a person, then you will get a terrible hiding, which you have to deal with alone.

And those years will also pass.

A new life is waiting for you, what that is, the new laws will teach you, but they are always there!

Now and again Jeus goes off to ‘Das Stolzen Fels am Rhein’, in order to do something for his own life, there is plenty of food and drink, but you also need pocket money, especially if you want to play billiards with Bernard, if you do not want to sponge off someone else.

They know one thing here and everyone has learned that, the ‘Goodbye’ was not exploited here, to the contrary, it sounds even more wonderful than it used to, it has been given colour and shape again by the goodness in people, but Crisje is the bearer of this banner and walks at the front, straight to Our Lord!

And then it was evening, a pitch dark night followed, the boys were ready to leave and were told by the people of ‘Das Stolzen Fels’ that they wanted to buy everything there which they still had in Holland, which brought a prompt reply from the boys.

“You would like that, wouldn’t you, but there is nothing more to be got, or to bring, it is almost finished!”

That was the truth and the beginning of another time.

Crisje is watching over the boys of her Tall One, as Our Lord watches over HIS millions, and she can accept: everything has been done what could be done, now rest and peace must come to earth and good will in the hearts of the people.

Of course, you cannot keep on going!

And below, above and behind here lives Casje, he is standing on a high hill and is looking at Jeus.

Casje wonders, how much longer; if only I could really start.

How many dangers are the two of us still to face?

Through how many of these times must I pull that life?

However, he is there for a purpose!

And the laws of Our Lord demand it, they do not want it any differently and you see by the silvery white ropes that something else will happen and life always gives you something nice again, something sweet as well, really something for soul, life and spirit and then the human heart flies open like a flower in the spring!

Really, that is also worth experiencing!
