About Death, Rebirth and Life
About Death, Rebirth and Life
The rebirth in the Spirit of God liberates one from
reincarnation (1-2).
About the wheel of reincarnation - The
souls of the shadows -
The soul finds rest only when all sins are expiated - The expiation of sins is easier and faster on earth than in the soul realms
(3-4). The word of man is the word of error (5-6). The working of the
Father-Mother-Principle in the duals (7-10). The one who is of good will understands and
fulfils the law of life and becomes free from error (11-13)
1. As Jesus sat at the west side of the temple with His disciples, behold, a dead person was being carried on a stretcher to be buried, and one said to Him, "Master, when a man has died, will he live again?”
2. And He answered, saying, "I Am the resurrection
and the life; I Am the good, the beautiful, the true, and the one who believes in Me will
not die, but live eternally. As in Adam all die, so will all come to life again in Christ.
Blessed be those who die in Me and have become perfect in My likeness; for they rest from
their labour and their works follow them. They have overcome evil and have been made
pillars in the temple of My God; and they go out no more, for they will abide in eternity.
(Chap. 69:1-2)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
"... to die in Adam” means to die in sin. To be resurrected in Christ means to be released from sin by repenting, forgiving, asking for forgiveness, making amends and no longer committing the same or similar sins.
The one who strives for the purity of the soul and the one who believes in Me, Christ, the Redeemer of all men and souls, will live in Me consciously and attain rebirth in the Spirit of God. He enters the Sanctum, God, and will also abide in God. The being which has consciously become the image of the Father again remains in the eternal heavens and no longer returns to reincarnation in the flesh - except to serve the Eternal, in the earthly garment.
3. But for those who have done evil, there is no rest; for they will go out and in, and, for their betterment, will have to endure sorrow for many ages, till they have become perfect. But those who have done good and attained perfection have eternal rest and enter eternal life. They rest in eternity.
4. Repeated death and birth have no more power over them;
the wheel of the Eternal no longer revolves for them, for they have reached the centre
where eternal rest prevails; and the centre of all things is God.” (Chap.
69:3-4)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The one who dies in sin will have no rest, because, in the spheres of purification at the latest, the sin becomes a piercing pain.
If, in this incarnation, the soul has not expiated the sins which it brought with it, but continued to add to them, then it continues to be bound to the wheel of reincarnation and will be drawn by it into another incarnation, since it could not rise because of the burden, because of the sin. Every sin matures according to predetermined laws, and then pushes to be expiated. As long as the soul is bound to the wheel of reincarnation, it continues to be drawn to the earth, because there it has the opportunity to clear up, in a short time, what is still earth-heavy, that is, earth-rooted.
A soul can have several or even many incarnations behind it. This can continue until all the sins have been expiated, which repeatedly draw the soul to earth because the soul is still rooted in the earth.
When a soul debt bursts open in the spheres of purification, this can be for the soul a "fiery furnace” in which it languishes. In the heat of the sin, which has burst open and which hurts the soul just as wounds on the physical body hurt the person, many souls recognize that as human beings on earth they could have the opportunity again to expiate this debt and other still latent sins as well. They learn from teaching angels that in another incarnation there is a chance to expiate the burdens of the soul more quickly and easily and to free themselves more quickly from the suffering which arose from the sin.
Still other souls go through many periods of time; they come into the earthly garment and go out again - come and go again. Many of them repeatedly burden themselves anew, because they are not willing - neither in the planes of purification nor in the earthly existence - to recognize their sins, to acknowledge them as being their debt, to repent and to sin no more. They are often the ones who speak ill of those people who strive to fulfil the will of God.
The one who lives in sin over long periods of time is far from the light - and is ultimately against the light, since for him the shadow is his home. These then, are those souls which, in the earthly garment, time and again go after the people to whom they already did bad things in times gone by. Through their correspondences, the persecutors can also recognize those who endeavour to clear up the shadows - their sins - with Christ.
Recognize that on this side of life many incarnated souls - that is, human beings - encounter, in other human beings , their victims from past times. With this, they are given the opportunity of recognizing and of turning back.
The one recognizes, repents and, as a soul, gradually enters into life and does not come back. The other soul comes back into an earthly existence, because it hasnot made use of its former incarnations and has sinned anew.
Recognize that, in the realm of the souls, the souls experience their sins as a fire within the soul-body when the causes, that is, the sins, become active; it is similar to the earthly existence when the causes come into effect and the person has to endure blows of fate and illness.
But in the spheres of purification, the soul experiences the effects of the sins much more painfully than if it had to expiate and endure them as a human being in the earthly garment. For the one who, in the earthly garment, repents and endeavours to give his sins over to Me, the Christ, and to leave them in Me, who lives in Me and sins no more - enters the eternal, pure, spiritual life. The wheel of reincarnation no longer revolves for him. He is released from death and birth, because the soul has become again the being out of God and lives in the centre, in God.
5. And one of His disciples asked Him, "How shall one enter the Kingdom of God?” And He answered, saying, "If you do not make the below as the above, and the left as the right, and the behind as the before, and if you do not enter into the centre and into the Spirit, you will not enter into the Kingdom of God.”
6. And He said, "Do not believe that any man is
without error, for the word of error is found even among the prophets and the initiates of
the Christhood. But there are many errors which are covered by love.” (Chap.
69:5-6)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
The word of man is the word of error. For words are but symbols and can be interpreted in manifold ways. The word of man is understood by people only to the degree that their respective consciousness has matured. Spiritually alert people grasp the meaning of the word, because they have immersed into the truth. People whose consciousness is still in the embryonic state cling to the letter and see contradictions in everything.
The word of true prophets, of the initiates and of enlightened men and women is often wrongly interpreted because it is wrongly understood. People of different grades of consciousness live on earth, and each one hears according to his level of consciousness, and each one interprets accordingly for himself and his neighbours.
The statement "... for the word of error is found even among the prophets and the initiates of the Christhood. But there are many errors which are covered by love” means the following:
The so-called prophets and initiates who use Me, the Christ, just as a means to an end, in order to promote their own interests, take My name in vain in order to bring error into this world. These unenlightened ones with their human conceptions - which they represent as the truth and yet are errors - quote the word of the true prophets and initiates which they wrongly understand and interpret, in order to legitimize themselves. The Eternal does not let these errors which are attributed to the true prophets and initiates fall upon them. However, He covers the errors, so to speak, until the time is ripe to uncover the error which came into this world.
7. And when it was evening, He went out to Bethany with the twelve; for there lived Lazarus and Mary and Martha whom He loved.
8. And Salome came to Him and asked Him, "Lord, how long shall death hold sway?” And He answered, saying, "As long as you men inflict burdens and you women give birth. For this reason, I Am come to end the works of the heedless.”
9. And Salome said to Him, "Then I have done well by not giving birth.” And the Lord answered, saying, "Eat of every pasture which is good, but do not eat of that which has the bitterness of death.”
10. And when Salome asked when those things about which
she asked Him will be understood, the Lord said, "When you have worn out the garment
of shame and have risen above lusts, when the two become one, and the male with the female
will be neither male nor female.” (Chap. 69:7-10)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
In God, the male and the female principles are called the positive and the negative principles. They are the two poles which act in absolute unity. They are the giving and the receiving poles. In their unity, they form the Father-Mother-Principle.
Both poles, the giving and the receiving principles, also act in the children of God. Among other things, they bring together two beings, the giving and the receiving principles. In the duality, they melt into one another and thus activate the Father-Mother-Principle, the spiritually begetting and conceiving powers.
Beings in the light of God do not seduce, nor are they seduced. They love each other in God and from God and, in the union of the Father-Mother-Power, they beget spiritual beings, children of the light.
The dual-pair is the duality. They are the two powers that are melted into one
another, the giving and the receiving powers. The duals are two beings - and yet are merged in unity forever. They offer their spiritual
children to the Eternal and raise them in the filiation of God in the all-family which
forms the great family of God.
11. And once more, to another disciple who asked Him, "When will all obey the law?” "When the Spirit of God will fill the whole earth and the heart of every man and of every woman.
12. I strewed the law into the earth, and it took root and bore in due time twelve fruits for the nourishment of all. I cast the law into the water, and it was cleansed of all evil. I cast the law into the fire, and the gold was purged from all dross. I cast the law into the air, and it received life from the Spirit of the living One, who fills all things and dwells in the heart of each one.”
13. And He told many other similar parables to those who
had ears to hear and an understanding soul. But to the multitude they were obscure words.
(Chap. 69:11-13)
I, Christ, explain, correct
and deepen the word:
These words mean that the eternal Father in Me, His Son, brought the law of life into this world. The deliberate and unintentional errors of man entwine the law of love and of life. I will take these errors away, so that the eternal law will be recognized and understood by every person of good will, so that he may actualize the eternal law and fulfil it in daily life.
When all people fulfil the law of God, they see their own words and those of their
neighbours; then error has no place any longer. The one who lives in God lives as a child
of God in the all-embracing ocean, God. The child of God knows the law of the earth, of
water, of fire and of air, because it lives in the law. Thus, it also has the power to
move the four elements.
