With my lectures on “Essentiality,” “The Little Essential Beings,” “In the Coarse Material Workshop of the Essential Beings” and “A Soul Wanders” I gave a piece of knowledge about the constant activity in Creation. I explained a small part of your nearer surroundings, and only about that which is very closely connected with you personally. However, I did not just give it so that you might become aware of it, but for the very purpose of enabling you to draw benefit from it for your life upon earth, now, in the physical body. At the same time also as a blessing for those who are with you and around you.

This knowledge brings you no advantage; for every human spirit has the sacred duty to utilize all knowledge in Creation in a beneficial way, for the progress and joy of all who are connected to it or merely come into contact with it. Only then does one's spirit truly gain from it; otherwise, never.

This spirit becomes free from all inhibitions and, in the Law of Reciprocal Action, is infallibly raised to a height where it can continually draw strength that is filled with the Light and must bring blessings wherever it finds righteous ground here on Earth. Thus, the one who knows becomes a powerful mediator of high Divine Force.

Therefore, I want to show you what you have been able to extract from the last lectures for your earthly sojourn, and what you must extract; for the word cannot remain without practical application.

I drew your attention in broad strokes to a small part of the weaving and working of very specific kinds of essential beings in Creation, and also showed you that the human spirit has hitherto wandered about in complete ignorance.

The essential being faithfully governs and weaves within the household of great Creation, while the spiritual is to be considered a wandering guest within it, obligated to integrate itself harmoniously into the order of the great household and to support the governing of the essential being to the best of its ability. He is therefore expected to lend a hand in the preservation of the great work that provides him with accommodation, means of subsistence, and a home.

To understand it properly, you must look at it like this: The High Essentiality has released or given birth to the spirit within itself and offers it the possibility of joyful existence in its great household of Creation!

Provided, of course, that this spirit does not disturb the harmony of the household; for otherwise, it is an unwelcome guest and will be treated accordingly. It will then never be able to receive and enjoy truly joyful existence.

The guest naturally also has the duty not to disrupt the household, but to integrate itself into the existing order, even to support and protect it in return for the hospitality.

Finally, for better understanding, it can also be expressed differently without changing the actual meaning: The great, all-encompassing divine being has split into two parts, an active part and a passive part, or a positive and a negative part.

The passive or negative part is the finer part, the more sensitive, gentler part; the active or positive part is the coarser, less sensitive part!

The more sensitive part, that is, the passive part, is, however, the stronger and predominant part, the one that actually takes the lead. It is more receptive and more sensitive to pressure in its sensitivity, and therefore capable of standing and acting more securely in the Force of God's Holy Will than in the highest pressure. Pressure here refers to the lawful impressing of a higher order on a lower order, not some arbitrary act of violence, not the pressure of a violent, changeable lust for power. ___

Thus, you see the big picture before you, descending from above, and it is no longer difficult to grasp that the further consequences in Creation always quite naturally repeat themselves in the same way and are ultimately also to be applied to the divisions of the human spirits of the Post Creation, as a consequence of a unified law that runs through all of Creation. It is only named differently at the various levels and stages of cooling.

Thus, in this gradation, the human woman of the Post Creation embodies the more sensitive essence as the negative, passive part, and the man the coarser spiritual aspect as the positive, active part; for the splitting, once initiated, continues to repeat itself again and again in the already divided parts, so that one can say that all of Creation actually consists only of splittings! The truly stronger part, that is, the actually ruling one, is always the more sensitive part, that is, among humans, womanhood! According to her nature, she finds it much easier to sensitively obey the pressure of God's Will. Thus, she also has and gives the best connection with the only truly Living Force!

This Law of Creation must also be observed by researchers and taken into account by inventors. The truly more powerful and stronger part is always the more sensitive, that is, the negative or passive part. The more sensitive part is the actually determining part, the active part merely the executing one!

Therefore, in every normal development, everything feminine exerts a strong, always purely uplifting influence on the masculine, in its unconscious beginnings, as soon as the latter reaches physical maturity. With physical maturity, the great sexual sensation awakens simultaneously, forming the connection or bridge to the activation of the spiritual core of the earthly humans on the plane of gross materiality, that is, here on earth.

You already know this from My Message. All of this happens simultaneously. One thing immediately brings about another. In this, you recognize the immense help that a human spirit receives on earth through the Laws of Creation! You see the almost indescribable protection and the merciful, practically unmissable supports for ascending. Also, the precisely given, safe paths on which no one can unintentionally lose their way. It takes a very wicked will, even reluctant effort, for a person to carelessly disregard all these things and try to ignore them. Indeed, a person must even violently resist all this automatic help in order not to benefit from it!

Nevertheless, they do it. That is why I deliberately said that in the "unconscious" beginnings of maturity, the feminine influence will always trigger a pure soaring in the masculine, because there, uninfluenced by the corrupted intellect, it operates solely according to the Divine Laws of Creation! Only when the intellect, with all its powers, is awakened and begins to work, will this purity, and with it all its aids, be dragged through the mud and devalued by evil thinking.

Evil thinking is generated by the impurity of femininity, temptations, the persuasion of false friends, bad examples, and, not least, by misguided directions in art and literature.

Once the many bridges to the Luminous, Pure Heights have been shattered and broken, it is very difficult to find a way back! And yet, even here, the All-Wise Creator, in His goodness, provides countless possibilities and, once again, self-help within the Laws of great Creation, if only a misguided human spirit first seeks to summon the truly earnest will to the purity within.

The Message already provides sufficient insight into all these matters, so that no further explanation is needed.

Humans, you have no idea what graces you repeatedly and almost daily trample underfoot; therefore, you do not know how great and greater your burden of guilt grows with every hour you must pay, without fail. For all the Laws of God, which lie dormant in Creation and help you, are also against you if you refuse to heed them!

You cannot escape this need for recognition. Not one among all creatures. And these Laws are the Love of God, which remained incomprehensible to you because you sought to make something entirely different from what it truly is.

Learn and understand! Woman, if you do not awaken to your true worth in Creation and then act accordingly, the repercussions of your great guilt will crush you before you even realize it! And you, man, finally see in woman that great help you need and can never do without if you wish to live according to the Laws of God. And honour in woman that for which God destined her! The nature of your feelings toward woman will be your gateway to Light. Never forget this. —

Now immerse yourselves in all these descriptions. You will find them confirmed everywhere in your experience. Always base your observations on these words. You will see many things in a completely different light, and understand them better than before. It has a clear effect even in the smallest things. Not only on earth, but in all of Creation.

You may now ask yourselves why the human woman is the more sensitive part. Therefore, I will answer that question immediately:

In the processes of separation or splitting, woman forms the bridge between the physical and the spiritual! That is why the Primordial Mother had to arise first before further divisions could occur or take place.

And the bridge between the initially higher Essentiality and the Spiritual that has emerged from it is always the woman of the respective separated plane. For this reason, she retains within herself a special part of the initially higher essentiality of her own plane, which the man lacks.

Popular wisdom is also correct in this when it states that woman is more connected to Nature than man! Woman is indeed more connected to Nature in every respect. But you who know the Message understand that the expression "connected to Nature" means nothing other than a closer connection with the Essentials!

So it is in the great household of Creation! From this you should draw lessons for yourselves and wisely apply them to earthly life. How you can do this, I will tell you today. If you fail to do so, you will not integrate yourselves into the vibrant harmony of the household in which you are guests. And if you wish to act differently and take paths other than those clearly shown to you by creation itself, then success can never blossom for you, nor can true joy, nor the peace you so long for.

Everything must fail and collapse that does not resonate with the spirit and Laws of this Creation; for then it not only loses all support, but it creates opposing currents stronger than any human spirit, which ultimately always overwhelm it and its work.

Therefore, finally align yourselves with the perfect harmony of Creation, and you will find peace and success.

Above all, woman was the first to fail in this; but man is also primarily to blame. Yet, of course, woman is no less responsible for this, as she certainly did not have to follow him. Each is responsible for herself alone. The main problem in all of this was, once again, the voluntary subjugation to the intellect.

The woman of the Post-Creation was meant to form the bridge from the Essentials to the Spiritual. The bridge from that Essentiality, from which the spiritual of the Post-Creation first emerged! Not from the Essentiality, which, after the dissolution of the last remnant of the Spiritual, descended even further to form the bridge to materiality and to give rise to all animal souls.

In terms of the values of Creation, therefore, woman comes first in the hierarchy, followed by man. But the woman of the Post-Creation has utterly failed in this. She does not occupy that place which Creation assigned and designated for her.

Woman retained within herself, as a bridge, the higher part of Essentiality—not the lower, but the higher—and could, and should, remain accessible to the Will of God, just as the essential itself does, which always resonates only in the Will of God. The condition, of course, was that she kept this part of the essential pure, pure for intuiting the Divine Will, the Laws of Creation!

Instead, this intuiting opened itself all too quickly and easily to all of Lucifer's seductive arts. And since woman, by her very nature, is stronger than the coarser intellectual nature of man, and thus decisive, or, let's say, setting the tone in the truest sense, she playfully dragged man down with her into the depths.

For this reason, I have already called out to all womanhood in My Message that she must precede man in his ascent; for this is her duty, because it lies within her power! Not only because she thereby absolves herself of the guilt she has burdened herself with from the beginning. This is an Act of Grace in itself, which, through the mutual desire to ascend, unfolds spontaneously.

The woman of the Post-Creation, despite her attributes of Essentiality, could fall so profoundly because, as the last of her kind, she is furthest removed from closeness to God! Yet, within that higher aspect of her being, she possessed a powerful anchor to which she could cling, and indeed would have clung, had it been her earnest will. But the coarser spiritual element within her desired otherwise. And her distance from closeness to God allowed it to triumph.

The woman could fall, but she didn't have to! For she had ample support at her side. She simply refused to accept it, by not using it.

But in the Thousand Year Realm, things must be different. The woman will now change and live only according to God's Will! She will be purified or perish in the Judgement; for she will now receive direct closeness to God here on Earth! With that, every excuse for all womanhood has already been removed! And every woman who has not yet, through wickedness and sin, completely buried the part of essentiality within herself, must now experience the closeness of God and grow stronger in it, gaining increased power and immense might! According to the living Laws of Creation! But only those who are still capable of gratefully recognizing the pressure of Pure Divine Force as such have this automatic help.

Whoever, however, can no longer intuit It, nor will they, will wither and will not long retain the ability to call themselves a woman.

Now you will naturally ask yourselves how it can happen that some human souls on earth can be incarnated alternately as a woman and at other times as a man. The answer is not as difficult as you think; for a truly genuine woman in every respect will never be in a position where she has to be incarnated as a man in the physical sense.

Such a process is, again, just one of the evil consequences of the dominion of the intellect, however strange that may sound.

The earthly woman who submits to the intellect thereby suppresses her true womanhood. This womanhood is suppressed because it forms the sensitivity that the sober intellect walls up, and thus the threads of fate are tied in such a way that such a woman must next incarnate as a man, because after this suppression and walling up, only the coarser spiritual aspect prevails, and the threads cannot be tied any other way according to the Laws of Creation. Such changes in incarnation are necessary because everything that is triggered in the core of the human spirit must develop. In particular, the current unnatural, and therefore contrary to the Laws of Creation, imitation of men by women, as well as the pronounced intellectual pursuits, must have serious consequences for womanhood, since they contain a disturbance of the harmony of Creation!

They all suppress their true womanhood and must therefore next incarnate in male bodies. That in itself would not be so bad. But the fact is that, while the female soul may appear clever in a male body due to this distortion of its purpose, it will nevertheless only be a man physically, never truly a man in spirit and soul! It is and remains an aberration.

These processes within the distortion of Creation have occurred until now, but in the Millennium they will no longer be possible; for then all such female souls, who have walled up their femininity, will no longer be able to incarnate on earth at all, but will fall as useless at the judgement, all among the masses who are drawn into decay. They are all lost if they do not remember their purpose as woman in time and act accordingly.

The same is true in reverse. The male soul, which through effeminacy has become too inclined toward the feminine in its thinking and actions, thereby compels itself, through the threads created by this, to a later incarnation in a female body. However, it was equally impossible for such souls to become true women, since they lacked the higher Essentiality belonging to womanhood.

For this reason, one often finds men on earth with predominantly feminine characteristics, and women with predominantly masculine characteristics! However, the nature of their souls is not genuine, but distorted, and in Creation itself, unusable except for the physical act of reproduction.

The initial decision of the spirit germ is here too decisive and fundamental to its entire being; however, this does not occur consciously, but lies solely in an inner, awakening urge! If the urge leads to gentler activity, the spirit germ’s being is thereby determined to be feminine; for through this it retains or holds onto a part of the higher essence from which it detaches or splits off. If it inclines towards the coarser, active or positive working, then the delicate, finer part of the higher Essentiality gradually detaches itself entirely and remains behind; indeed, it is spontaneously repelled, so that for such a spirit germ the masculine is thereby fundamentally determined.

Here too, the Spiritual Realm is immediately granted, right at the outset, the assurance of that unique free decision which is called free will.

Woman! What does the word alone already convey as a collective or radiating concept of purity, grace, and longing for the Luminous Heights!

What could ever become of you, you woman of the earth, that is so great, so lofty, so noble, and what have you yourself made of yourself!

You can no longer even perceive that the social game of seeking recognition and appearing desirable, so dear to you, that every word, indeed every glance therein, is in reality, from the male side, an insult to your womanly dignity! A defilement of your divinely ordained purity.

Were it not for a few still among you on earth, in whose souls the anchoring of God’s Will is still possible, truly, it would be better if a wave of God's Hand were to cast these distorted images of womanhood away from the bare ground of the glorious Creation.

Yet for the sake of the few faithful, may the woman of the earth, through her nearness to God, be allowed to rise to the heights for which she was destined from the very beginning!

Blessed are you, O humanity of the earth, who do not deserve this grace and yet are permitted to receive it!

But in future, conform strictly to the Laws of God!

The purity of the woman of the earth lies in her faithfulness! For faithfulness is purity! A woman without faithfulness is unworthy to be called a woman! And faithless is every woman who flirts playfully with men in words or in thoughts! Faithless towards herself and towards her high task in this Creation, and thus also on earth!

Faithfulness alone brings forth all virtues in a woman. Not one of them shall be lacking!

Just as humankind had formed a one-sided, inflexible and thus completely false, narrow concept of chastity, so too, in their base thinking, they concocted a clumsy and ridiculous notion for the lofty concept of purity! They turned it into a distorted image, an unnatural shackle that stands in contradiction to the laws of Creation, is completely false, and testifies only to the narrowness of petty intellectual thinking.

The purity of the human woman rests solely in her faithfulness! Yes, for human beings, she is faithfulness!

To put it quite plainly: Purity is embodied in faithfulness among humans! Whoever grasps this correctly will always be able to find and follow the right path therein, and will not push the Law of Creation aside through mental rigidity. You must therefore try to learn to understand it correctly.

Purity is Divine alone! Therefore, humans as such cannot possess purity itself in its original form; for they are, after all, but a particle in Creation and, as such, is subject to very specific laws. But purity can lie only in Divine Perfection; it belongs to this Perfection!

Humans can therefore not possess purity in the true sense, but they only able to embody it figuratively in a manner appropriate to their nature, that is, to reproduce it in a transformed form in faithfulness! Faithfulness is thus the human measure of purity. Humans substitutes faithfulness for Divine Purity. And first and foremost, and in the noblest sense, the woman! Whatever she does is pure as soon as she does it in faithfulness! It is no different for the man. Faithfulness is purity for all humans.

Faithfulness must, of course, be genuine; it must not be rooted merely in delusions. Genuine faithfulness can only live in true love, never in passions or fantasy. In this lies, in turn, a safeguard and also a yardstick that serves for self-examination.

Humans are not capable of being divine and must abide by the laws of their own species. Anything else becomes a distortion, unnatural, unhealthy, and is merely the consequence of false views, of a conceited obsession that drives one to stand out at any cost or to set oneself apart from one’s fellow humankind, to be admired, or perhaps even to achieve something special before God. Yet there is never anything genuine or natural in this; rather, it is senseless, violent, spiritual crippling which also brings physical disadvantages. There is absolutely nothing great or sublime in it; it merely reveals grotesque tension which appears ridiculous within Creation.

Humans can only attain a useful standing in Creation if they remain what they are meant to be, and seek to perfect their nature through refinement. But they can only achieve this by moving within the Laws, not by placing themselves outside them.

Faithfulness is therefore the highest virtue of every woman; it also enables her to fully fulfil her lofty task in this Creation!

Now pay attention to this, O Humans:

The high, fine Essentiality, that is, the most sensitive and gentle aspect, runs the household in the great Creation! Thus, the woman is also entrusted with her office, which she is fully capable of fulfilling: to run the household in earthly existence, to offer a home in the true sense! To shape this earth into a homely and harmonious place is, in future, the task of woman, who can develop this to the point of artistry! In this lies everything, and in this must everything find its foundation if it is to flourish and blossom!

The home must, through woman, become a sanctuary! A temple for the Will of God! In this lies the worship of God, when you listen for His Holy Will in Creation and direct your life and your work on earth accordingly.

And even the man, whose vocation before now has shown nothing but slavery to the intellect, will be transformed by the nature of the woman, when he is compelled to recognize the pointing of the way to nobler things in her.

Always look to the household of this Creation, and you will know how to organize your life on earth!

However, a man must not recklessly disrupt the order of a household, whether through careless disregard or a lust for power; for a woman’s work in the household is just as important as his in his profession. It is merely of a different nature, yet indispensable. The woman’s task in the home resonates with the Divine Law to which the earthly body urgently appeals, seeking in the home rest, tranquillity, nourishment and, not least... harmony among the souls, which refreshes and provides new inspiration and fresh strength for every activity of the man!

However, the balance therein must be entirely harmonious. Therefore, the woman, too, should respect the man’s work and not think that only her activity alone should be the decisive one. The activities of both parties should be linked to one another in a balanced rhythm. One must not disturb the other.

The man must therefore not, through self-will, destroy or disrupt the order of the household, but through punctuality and growing understanding he must also help to ensure that everything can maintain its harmonious course.

This is what you can and must learn from Creation. In the Kingdom of the Thousand Years you will be compelled to do so; otherwise you could never endure it. And whoever cannot endure it will be wiped out by the Law of Creation, because he is no longer worthy of the blessings of Creation.

You know, the Kingdom of the Thousand Years is, for every human being of this post-Creation, disinheritance! Disinheritance of his free will, which hitherto held sway therein. He has failed through childish, self-centred actions and thinking and must therefore now learn to obey or perish. From the very moment the Will of God set foot upon the Earth, human will – which previously could rule over it – has been subjugated to it, according to the Law of Creation! Nothing can be changed in this regard. For this reason alone, human will is no longer decisive. This is now becoming rapidly apparent in Nature, amongst and within humans themselves, as in every creature.

Humans retain their free will for themselves alone to make decisions, just as they have always had it. The exercise of free human will lay, and still lies, in the freedom to decide for oneself in each instance. In the freedom to decide alone! The consequences of all these decisions they have made themselves always fall back upon them, whether they want them to or not; and in this regard they can never change anything. Now it simply affects them more swiftly than before.

The real difference for them between the past and the present, brought about by their disinheritance, lies in the fact that once their actions and volition also had an influence on the course of the Post Creation, primarily on the developments of this Earth. That has ceased! Humans’ volition now always affects them alone, with double, triple the intensity of before, and also with an unimagined, speed unknown up until now.

Apart from against themselves and their kind, he can now cause no further harm; for everything else not of his kind remains unaffected by it and is subject only to the Will of God Himself, which is stronger than the entire volition of humans in Creation!

And all people who now refuse to submit to the laws of this Creation are rebels against their homeland, against their Creator, their God! They will be cast out and destroyed without mercy, by the very laws which, in the intensified Force of God, now turn swiftly and irresistibly against everything that destroys the harmony willed by God.

Therefore, O people, heed your homeland; learn to understand this Post-Creation! You must get to know it and finally align yourselves with the order here on Earth as well, otherwise you are lost and must perish.
