The Transformation of Matter
112. The Future Transformation of Material Worlds into Spiritual Worlds. God’s Children and God’s Beings 1 (Lord:) “What the human intellect does with an old water bucket, or at least can certainly happen with it, will one day also happen with the earth and all other celestial bodies, even with the primordial suns, and then completely spiritual celestial bodies will emerge from them, which will be the carriers and dwellings of blessed spirits. 2 But such celestial bodies will then not only be peopled externally, but much more internally, in all their previous organically material forms, similar internal life temples. 3 Only there will people, as perfected spirits, fully realize the composition of the worlds they once carried and in all their joy will not be able to sufficiently marvel at their most miraculously complex organism from the smallest to the largest organs. 4 Planets that are without their own light, such as this Earth, its Moon, the so-called Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and many more of the same planets that belong to this Sun, together with numerous comets – which later also become planets and will carry human beings, partly by merging with some already inhabited planet and partly by their own planetary maturity – will after many Earth years, inconceivable to your concepts, disintegrate in the Sun. 5 This Sun, its extremely numerous companions around special central Suns and the central Suns that are already capable of extremely high ages, and for which one eon (decillion times deciillion) of Earth years is exactly what one year is for this Earth, will disintegrate in the central Suns of the solar regions, which are of course in all their existential relations – to put it in Arabic – a million million times larger than their suns of lower classes. These central suns of the solar regions will finally dissolve again in the same proportion into the larger central suns of the solar universes, and this finally into the one primeval central sun, whose physical size is truly immeasurable for your concepts. 6 But where will this then finally dissolve? In the fire of My will, and from this final dissolution all the heavenly bodies, but spiritually, will then return to their previous arrangements and functioning and then spiritually exist eternally in all their splendor, grandeur and wonder. 7 Of course, you must not imagine time as if all this were to happen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but if you were to take one earthly year for every grain of sand, as many as the whole earth could contain, this would hardly be sufficient for the period of the material existence of the earth. A much longer existence of the sun is not conceivable here, and of course even less the existence of any of the earlier central suns, the deeper central suns of the solar regions, and even less can you imagine the never-imaginable duration of the central suns of the solar universes, let alone the protocentral sun – and this is all the less because the suns will continue to be born for a long time to come by ever new celestial bodies, the central suns also by ever new planetary suns and the protocentral suns also by ever whole without a numerous army of suns of all kinds. 8 But despite such an immeasurable duration for you of the great celestial bodies, their time will one day pass and with this another period of creation will be completed and completed, and then in the infinitely vast area of the creative universe a new creation will come about, in which, just like in the countless new ones that will follow, you will also actively participate, endowed with ever more perfect authority – but only as My true children! 9 Whoever does not reach the childhood of God along the outlined path will remain, live and work on his spiritual earth as a perfect, rational and yet blessed created being and will even visit other neighboring spiritual worlds – yes, he can travel his entire shell-like sphere! – but he will never achieve more than that and no living, active desire for something higher will be kindled in him. 10 But My children will always be with Me and will think, feel, will and act with Me as if from one heart! In this there will be an infinitely great difference between My true children and the blessed created beings endowed with intelligence and reason. Therefore, just take care that you will one day prove yourself worthy and capable as My children! 113. People of the star worlds and the childhood of God 1 (Lord:) “I tell you that in the universe, which is immeasurable for you, there are countless shell-like spheres! In every shell-like sphere, which in itself occupies an immeasurable space for your concepts, which cannot be judged, because it is the carrier of eons of suns and solar regions, there certainly live countless human beings, either in the body or already completely spiritual, and they usually have a very clear mind and the finest calculating intellect, which often reaches such sharpness that yours can hide far from them. 2 Here and there they also have dream-like premonitions that somewhere there are children of the highest, eternal Spirit and they quite secretly often wish to become My children at any cost; but this is mostly not possible. For everything must exist and remain in an established order, just as in a man, in whom it is also not possible to transform the parts and organs of the knee joint into the noble eyes of the head, and the toes into ears. All the limbs of the body must remain what they are; and even if the hands wished so much to see, it does not help them – they remain healthy and happy blind hands, but nevertheless they receive enough light through the noble eyes in the head. 3 So also the earth does not have to become the sun to illuminate its otherwise dark soil; for it nevertheless receives enough light from the sun. With the food that a man consumes, all parts of his body must be nourished in their own way, that is, also the eyes and the heart. But only the most light-transformed and purest particles become food for the eyes, and the most love-life-transformed soul particles are assimilated with the vital substance of the heart; the coarser parts pass as appropriate food into the most diverse body components. The eye would be greatly harmed if parts suitable only for nourishing the bones entered it. 4 And so it would be very bad in the general great order of creation if I were to allow human beings from other worlds to become true children of My heart. Yes, here and there this can still be allowed; but for this many rebirths are needed, extensive measures and preparations are needed! First of all, the souls of this sun or the pranadangels receive this grace, to whom the duty is to control the entire shell-shaped globes, to guide them and to keep them in the most beautiful order. But although they are enormously great in everything, they must, just like Me, be content with smallness and endure every humiliation. 5 Even from the central sun of this system, to which this sun also belongs, souls can move to this Earth in order to reach My childhood, just like from the further central sun of the solar region and the solar universe. But only from the area of the same solar universe in which this Earth is also located, souls can still come here – and not easily from the general primordial sun, because the souls of those necessarily most gigantic people already contain an enormous amount of matter, which the small body of a native person cannot accept. 6 But although on that so gigantic sun, on some of its large continents, there are people so physically large that their heads alone are at least a thousand times as large as this Earth, yet the weakest of My true native children is, because of My spirit in the heart of his soul, infinitely stronger than thousands upon thousands of giants of the primordial suns. 7 Therefore, think carefully about what it means to be a child of the highest God, and what the greatest, most undetermined and untouched test of free will is for the soul to become one with My spirit within you, for only in this way can you become completely My children!” 114. The Great Man of Creation and the Earth 1 (Lord:) “Of course, you can now rightly ask how this small earth and its little people have obtained this honor and grace, when in the infinite space of creation there is an immense multitude of the greatest and most wonderful worlds of light that would be much more suitable to bear the children of God, to nourish them and to best provide them with everything they need. Thus, the planetary great people of the primeval central sun would be more suitable as children of God than the dust worms of this small Earth! – On the surface, there would be no or very little objection to this question; but when it comes to the inner experience of life’s affairs, it would even be a kind of impossibility. 2 Every human organism has its own vital heart, a tiny ball, approximately in the middle of the heart, which animates the entire bodily organism. The parts of this ball of the heart are arranged in such a way that they draw the vital ether from the blood and the inhaled air; in this, firstly, they themselves remain extremely vitally active, and secondly, they transmit this vital activity to the entire organism and thus animate the entire body in an appropriate way. 3 If I were to cut off your leg or arm, you would live on; you can see this with many old soldiers who have lost their arms, legs, ears and noses in battles, and yet live on, although as cripples; but the slightest injury to the heart, in which the small main vital heart is, instantly causes physical death. 4 Just as the human body is arranged, so are the bodies of warm-blooded animals and the entire great cosmic space of creation. All the countless shell-like spheres as a whole represent an enormous, for your concepts infinitely large man. In this man, this shell-like sphere in which we find ourselves is the heart, and this very earth is for the great man an extremely small vital heart, which is not exactly in the center of the heart, but rather on its left side. 5 In the center of the heart there is also a large network of nerves, but it is not the main seat of life. It is only a workshop for receiving and preserving life-giving food from the blood and air. Only from there does the main vital heart receive it and only then fertilize or bless it as a substance suitable for life, that is, for the temporary harmonious life of the soul, which without this heart could not even connect with the physical organism.
6 So the mentioned vital heart somewhere on the left side of the heart is a very inconspicuous, very small wart, similar to the smallest sensory wart on the lower pad of the little finger on the left and correspondingly on the right foot. These sensory pads, covered only with epidermis, are the main sensory guides of the feet – and who values them, who even knows that they exist? 7 If someone had the physical misfortune of losing their little finger, they would have great difficulty walking – much more difficult than if they had lost their big toes. Someone could stand up and ask: ‘But why, Lord, have You mostly given the smallest things in Your immense creation the greatest significance of action?’ 8 Let me answer with a question: ‘Why is it that among you people the foundation stone for a house is often a thousand times smaller than the whole house, which has its main point of support right on the well-laid foundation stone? Why are there so many lies, and from the kingdom of truths there is actually only one fundamental truth? Why is the oak tree such a large tree and the germ in its fruit, in which countless great oaks are already conceived, as small as the smallest grain of sand?’ 9 In the great creation, My dear children and now friends, there are still many things whose purpose and composition would seem a bit strange to you if you knew everything in creation. If I were to point out to you now just a few such peculiarities, you would fold your hands over your head and say: ‘No, Lord, this cannot be so, for it contradicts even a little pure reason!’ In short, you would not be able to understand all this now, and to enumerate even a very small part of it would take more millennia than the sand in the sea! 10 But if, when I return home again, you receive My Spirit, then it will of itself lead you into all truth and then you will no longer have to ask and say: ‘Lord, why this and why that?’ The bandage will be taken off your eyes and then you will see in the clearest light, which you can barely perceive now. Therefore, for now, be content with what you have heard! This is only a seed planted in your heart, and you will only see its ripe fruit when the sun of My Spirit rises within you. 11 Have you understood at least some of what I have now told you? Be open-hearted and confess; for I will remain among you only seven full hours! Speak and tell where anyone is still wandering in darkness and I will lead him into greater light, although not yet into the most perfect light of spiritual life! ”
