The scope of the world transition that is underway through the invisible Living Power that upholds, nourishes, moves and drives the whole Cosmos makes the present extremely serious and important but also great. What every individual human being has done, thought and perceived in his many lives on earth is at the present time having an intensified and accelerated effect upon him as the cycle of every deed closes according to Cosmic Law. The new penetration of the Power of the Light ushers us human beings into in a new time, a turn of an era in which every human spirit must make a final and irreversible decision whether or not to adapt to the Cosmic Laws that express the unalterable Will of God before the long-proclaimed great purification takes…

I stopped very gently and sat upon the Time Machine, looking round. The sky was no longer blue. Northeastward it was inky black, and out of the blackness shone brightly and steadily the pale white stars. Overhead it was a deep Indian red and starless, and south-eastward it grew brighter to a glowing scarlet where, cut by the horizon, lay the huge hull of the sun, red and motionless. The rocks about me were of a harsh reddish colour, and all the trace of life that I could see at first was the intensely green vegetation that covered every projecting point on their south-eastern face. It was the same rich green that one sees on forest moss or on the lichen in caves: plants which like these grow in a…

God is the Power that activates the Natural Laws; the Power that nobody has yet grasped or seen, but whose effects every one, daily, hourly, indeed in every fraction of a second, must see, intuitively sense and observe, if only he wants to do so.Grail Message Viewed from space, our home planet moves calmly with its inhabitants, in an orbit that it has followed for billions of years since it emerged in the solar system. However, what is observed from a distance bears little relation to the inner acceleration affecting life on earth, analogous to an ocean with a seemingly calm surface motion but with powerful turbulence occurring beneath. The intensified pressure of the Power of the Creator that sustains all life is enforcing the speedy resolution of all the…

How often should we let someone do us wrong or cause us suffering and we still choose to forgive them? It is a question asked in a variety of ways, ever in the firm conviction that the sufferer has done enough, and that at last he or she can be released from the tiresome obligation of further compassion. Knowing that we can expect to be forgiven a wrong we have done or suffering we have caused very often arouses a feeling of arrogance in us humans. Consider the parable narrated in the Scriptures of the unforgiving servant: A servant is ordered by his master to pay back an amount akin to ten thousand bags of gold. The servant could not pay the money and asked his master for mercy and…

From the moment when Christine had scurried down the mountainside with the stolen child to get to the Devil, an unholy fright had gripped the hearts of the peasants. During the terrifying tempest, the folk trembled in deathly fear, for in their hearts they knew full well that if God's Hand were to strike to destroy them, they would have deserved it and more in full measure. When the storm passed, the news of how the pastor had brought the little child back and baptised it travelled from house to house, but nothing had been seen of Hans or Christine. ‘The break of dawn revealed many pale faces, and the brilliant sunshine could not restore colour to them, for they all knew that the worst was yet to come. They…

THE THREE VOLUMES of In the Light of Truth contain a total of 168 lectures whose contents, building upon one another, give a picture of Creation in entirety. The Author’s all-embracing view is based on well-known natural laws, which reveal the hidden connections of our existence and offer valuable guidance for the journey through life. The lectures assembled in these three volumes were written and developed by the Author, Abd-ru-shin, between the years 1923 and 1938. Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? The Work In the Light of Truth is known throughout the world for its conclusive answers to the great questions of humanity, such as the meaning of life, justice, fate and why we live after death. Written originally in German, it is…

Light! The commencement of all being. Wondrous radiant forces flow through the primeval origins of materiality, in a weaving action upon the warm and incubative primal breeding ground of material substance. Shimmering like gold, glittering like soft wool or foam with a silvery hue, the light wafts softly into well-nigh infinite spheres at the primeval stage of coming into being. It is as if the slightest cooling in the sea of light and radiation causes wrinkles, like a fine skin over milk at a rapid boil, and thereby forms the first light structures. The delicate cooling spreads like a soft mantle, which, completely colourless in contrast to the luminous cosmic seed-germs, then becomes dark. Through movement, compression, transformation, in rhythmic lawfulness akin to shining lighthouses, these breeding grounds would give…
