CHAPTER 38

About the Killing of Animals -
The Raising of the Youth of Nain from the Dead

The one who does not fulfil the laws of God burdens his soul; and he cannot teach or explain the law of the heavens - The chaff will be separated from the wheat (1-2). Jacob's ladder - With the refinement of the thoughts and senses, the unlawful falls away (3). About the use of violence and the shedding of blood (4). Having compassion for animals - The killing of animals to deliver them from suffering (5). The one who recognizes himself and clears things up learns to love the life (6). The raising from the dead (8-10)

1. And some of His disciples came to Him and spoke to Him about an Egyptian, a son of Belial, who taught that it is not against the law to torment animals if their suffering brings profit to people.

2. And Jesus said to them, "Verily, I say to you, the one who derives benefit from the injustice that is inflicted on a creature of God cannot be righteous. Just as little can those whose hands are stained with blood or whose mouths are defiled with flesh deal with holy matters or teach the mysteries of heaven. (Chap. 38:1-2)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

Recognize that everything that lives feels. In a way similar to man, all forms of life feel joy and sorrow, whether they be animals, plants or stones. Life is consciousness. The consciousness radiates countless facets of evolution of the I Am. Consciousness is also a process of becoming conscious. People, animals, plants and stones feel according to their consciousness.

Recognize that the one who hunts animals will himself be hunted one day. The one who torments animals will himself be tormented one day. The one who exploits the life of the earth will become the victim of those who taught him to do this.

Each seed has its harvest. What a person sows goes into the acre of his soul; from there it sprouts and grows. In every seed is already contained the fruit.

Thus, the one who is against his neighbour and against the nature kingdoms is also against God - for God, the life, is in all Being.

Recognize that the one who does not fulfil the laws of God burdens his soul. The hands of the one who torments or kills animals are stained with blood. The one who consumes the flesh of animals, who pollutes and violates nature is impure. Such people can neither deal with holy matters nor experience the so-called "mysteries” of the heavens, nor even teach or explain the law of the heavens.

The one who teaches what is most holy - the laws of the heavens - and instructs his fellow man to observe them, while he himself does not keep them, will reap approval only from those who live and think similarly to him.

All that is godless does not endure in the long run. It will fade away just as the night recedes before the day. The time has drawn near, in which the light will make everything manifest and people will recognize the God-distant life of those who may have taught and told them to keep the laws of life, but who themselves did not keep them, whose hands are stained with blood and whose bodies are defiled by the consumption of meat.

God's mills grind slowly. One day, the chaff will be separated from the wheat, and those who are God-filled will stand at My right side, and the chaff, the godless, will fall victim to purging, according to the law of sowing and reaping.

3. God gives the grains and the fruits of the earth as food; and for the righteous man, there is no other lawful nourishment for the body. (Chap. 38:3)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

"God gives the grains and the fruits of the earth as food; and for the righteous man, there is no other lawful nourishment for the body” means that God gives man, from the bosom of mother earth, all that the earthly body needs for living. The one who fulfils the laws of love and life in his way of feeling, thinking, speaking and acting also lives from what mother earth gives him.

Many stand on Jacob's ladder which leads into the pure temple of life. Many people are still great sinners in their inner being as well as externally and remain so over decades or even over many incarnations or soul sojourns, until they meet, as an effect, the causes they have built up.

However, from the temple of love, God extends His hand to everyone, to the greatest sinner, too. Again and again, the eternal Being, the All-Father, teaches the gospel of love through Me, the Christ. Again and again, souls and men are instructed to live with one another, to develop the sense of community of Inner Life and also to let go of the killing of animals and the eating of their flesh. Again and again, souls as well as men are urged to ennoble their sensations and thoughts, so that their senses may also become refined. For as long as there is still one iota of impurity in the soul, it cannot enter heaven.

It is a spiritual principle that the person who keeps his thoughts and words pure and raises his actions to God refrains more and more from dead food, from eating meat and fish, until he is so purified that he gratefully accepts the gifts from the bosom of mother earth.

The impure will not defile the pure one if, for example, he is invited to a meal and partakes of a dish of meat which his hosts offer, having prepared it with much joy and effort. Then, this is a gesture of respect towards the host. Here, the following statement holds true in its sense: It is not what goes into the mouth - for example, a few bites of meat - that defiles the body, but what comes out of the mouth: loveless, hate-filled and envious feelings, thoughts and words. They defile the soul and the body.

However, the gratification of the craving for fish, meat and alcohol burdens the soul and defiles the body.

In a general conversation with the host, it could then be pointed out that you, the guest, refrain more and more from meat and fish because you have recognized that dead food does not benefit the soul or the body, because the law of God is life. Through such and similar general hints, the host will also come to think about it so that he, too - who also stands on Jacob's ladder - can purify himself and climb, rung for rung.

Every selfless word and every selfless deed serve your neighbour for his salvation. With good, selfless conversations, many a one can recognize what I, Christ, as Jesus, told the people: For selfless, righteous people, there is no other food for the body than the lawful food which nature brings forth - grains and fruits.

Moreover, I told My own not to castigate themselves, but to refine their thoughts and senses. Then, the intake of dead food, too, of fish and meat, will be reduced. With the refinement of soul and person, the unlawful falls away. Then it is not suppressed, but is removed through the life in Me, the Christ.

4. The robber who breaks into a house built by man is guilty; but even the least of those who break into a house built by God are the greater sinners. This is why I say to all who want to become My disciples, keep your hands free from bloodshed and let no meat touch your lips; for God is just and bountiful and has ordained that man shall live by the fruits and seeds of the earth alone. (Chap. 38:4)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

The law of life says: The one who breaks into a house built by man makes himself guilty before the law of God and before the law of man. Man shall neither steal or plunder. He shall respect the property of his neighbour. The one who falls into need shall ask for help, but shall not steal or plunder. The one who robs his neighbour, even if this one still possesses great wealth, becomes guilty before the spiritual law and the earthly law.

The one who breaks into the house of God, into the temple of the Holy Spirit, is a far greater sinner. The human body and the soul, which is from God and lives in the human body, are the house of God, the temple of the Holy Spirit. Deep in the soul is God's love, wisdom and justice. Thus, God lives in the soul. Accordingly, the soul and body of man are the temple of God. And so, the one who breaks into the house of flesh and bone, by doing violence to people, by subjugating them, treating them as slaves, or even killing them, sins against the Holy Spirit. This is the gravest sin.

So keep your hands and your soul pure, not just from theft and robbery. But above all, do not use violence, be it to people or to animals, and beware of shedding their blood.

The one who loves his neighbour selflessly will neither do violence to him, nor kill him. And the one who loves his neighbour selflessly will not deliberately kill animals either. The one who respects man and animal has no warlike designs, because he respects the laws of God to which belong the laws of nature, too. The one who strives to actualize the laws of God will refrain from eating meat more and more and will gratefully accept the gifts of the earth, that is, that food which comes from God for His human children.

5. But if an animal suffers greatly, so that its life is a torment for it, or if it becomes dangerous to you, release it from its life quickly and with as little pain as you can. Send it to the other side in love and mercy and do not torment it, and God, your Father, will show mercy to you, just as you have shown mercy to those who were given into your hands. (Chap. 38:5)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

I, Christ, give this, My word of revelation, in this mighty turn of time [1989], in order to point out once again, among other things, that just like the life of human beings, the life of animals, plants, stones and minerals, too, is in the hands of God.

Many people have turned away from the Father-Mother-God and have sold themselves to materialism. As a result of this externalization, the senses of man, as well, become ever coarser. The person thereby loses his fine sensitivity towards his fellow man and also towards nature. But he still has an ear, a sense, only for himself, for his ego. The result is that he pays attention to himself alone and does his utmost to gratify his own desires, without thinking of how it fares for his neighbour and his second neighbour, the animal, as well.

The animals suffer under domineering people. This is why it cannot readily be said in this time [1989], "But if an animal suffers greatly, so that its life is a torment for it, or if it becomes dangerous to you, release it from its life quickly and with as little pain as you can.” For today, many animals constantly suffer torments and pains through the brutality of the human ego. The following does not hold true here: Release these animals by delivering them quickly from their torments and suffering. I, Christ, say to you: Try to experience their torments and suffering in your world of sensations. Feel into their torments and suffering and recognize how they suffer because of your human doings. You are told to change by devoting yourselves to God, so that you can feel and understand your neighbour and your second neighbour, the animal, in your inner being.

Recognize that what you do to the animals, you do to Me, the Christ, and to yourselves as well. The torments and suffering of the animals will one day be your torments and suffering. God, the Eternal, has also given the animals into the hands of man - however, not that he torment them, but that he live with them. Man should be f o r the animal, and then the animal is also f o r man. Then it will also serve him joyfully.

If an animal has to suffer much because of an accident or because of its age, then man should release the spiritual life of the animal, the part-soul or the part-ray, from the earthly body quickly, while inflicting little pain, and should give it over in love and mercy into the hands of the eternal Creator. He, the great All-One, knows each animal. He has created it and lives as power in the part-soul or in the part-ray. The part-soul or the part-ray of the animal is the unfolded powers of consciousness of the All-Spirit, which have become spiritual form.

6. And whatever you do to the least of My children, you do to Me. For I Am in them and they are in Me. Yes, I Am in all creatures and all creatures are in Me. In all their joys, I, too, rejoice and in all their afflictions, I, too, suffer. This is why I say to you: Be kind to one another and to all the creatures of God.” (Chap. 38:6)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

What man sows he will reap, also means that what man does to the least of his fellow men - also to animals, plants and stones - he does to Me and to himself.

Each day is given to man for self-recognition; every person can experience each day what he should recognize in himself and clear up on that day. The one who does this becomes sensitive to life. On himself he experiences what it means to love life.

The one who loves God is consciously in God, and God in him. The days become more light-filled to him as a human being, because his soul becomes freer. Then he also understands the statement, "I Am in all creatures, and all creatures are in Me.”

The kind person is the merciful person who lives in harmony with his fellow man, with the animals and all the powers and forms of life.

7. And it came to pass that on the next day He came into a city called Nain. And many of His disciples and a great multitude went with Him.

8. And behold, when He came close to the gate of the city, a dead person, the only son of his mother, was being carried out; she was a widow. And many people from the city went with her.

9. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, "Weep not! Your son sleeps.” And He stepped closer and touched the coffin, and those who carried it stopped. He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise!”

10. And the one who was considered dead sat up and began to speak. And Jesus delivered him to his mother. And awe came upon all and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet is risen among us, and God has come to His people.” (Chap. 38:7-10)

I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:

In this and similar ways, I, the Son of God, the Co-Regent of the heavens, was active in the earthly garment, with My heritage, the part-power of the primordial power.

Many of the so-called dead whom I awakened from deep sleep were not yet in the realm of the souls, but the soul was still connected to the body by the silver cord, also called the spiritual information cord.

Deep sleep is like being unconscious. It occurs before the cord frees itself from the body. People designate it as already being the moment of death.

Only when the information cord is separated from the body is the soul also fully detached from the body. Then the house of the soul, the body, gradually decomposes into its elements: water and earth.
