Citations from the book
Truth has never yet been different from what it was even then, and is today, and still will be tens of thousands of years hence; for it is eternal!
You who often seek so strenuously to find the right way, why do you make it so hard for yourselves? In all simplicity picture to yourselves how the pure Power of the Creator flows through you, and how you guide it with your thoughts in a good or in an evil direction. There you have it all, without trouble and without racking your brain!
When it is said that God will stretch forth His Hand to help, this is done in the Word which He sends out to mankind, showing them how they can redeem themselves from the guilt in which they have become entangled. From the very beginning His Grace lies in all the great possibilities placed freely at the disposal of human spirits in Creation. This is so overwhelmingly much that the man of today cannot even conceive it because he never concerned himself with it seriously enough; for wherever he did, it was only as a pastime or for the purpose of vain self-aggrandizement!

Man must never forget that he personally must take full and complete responsibility for everything he perceives, thinks and does, even if he has accepted it from others without question!
Man can only make use of the powers that bear the Will of God when he studies them exactly, i.e. recognizes them and adapts himself to them. To reckon with or adapt oneself to them really means nothing but to adjust oneself to them, thus to yield to them! It means not to go against these powers, but to go with them. Only when man adapts his will to the special nature of these powers, thus going in the same direction, can he make use of the might of these powers.
Power of volition! A mighty force, unsuspected by so many; attracting similar powers like a never-failing magnet, it grows like an avalanche. Uniting with similar spiritual forces, it works backwards, again reaching the starting-point, thus the origin, or rather, the producer, uplifting him high to the Light, or pressing him deeper into the mud and filth! Exactly in accordance with what the author himself originally willed.
Man’s worst enemy in purely earthly matters is indolence. Indolence in matters of faith, however, will result in his spiritual death!
You should give to your neighbor with your being, your nature! Not necessarily with money and goods. For then those without means would be excluded from the possibility of giving. And in this being, in this “giving yourself” in the relation with your neighbor, in the consideration and respect you voluntarily offer him, lies the “love” of which Jesus speaks; lies also the help you give to your neighbor, because it enables him to change himself or ascend further, and because he gains strength from it.
“Marriages are made in heaven” indicates in the first place that already at birth every human being brings along certain qualities, the harmonious development of which can only be achieved through someone with compatible qualities. However, compatible qualities are not identical qualities, but ones that complement the others, and in complementing each other they obtain their full value.
Man should not forget that when praying he actually need only obtain the strength to enable him to achieve himself what he is praying for! That is how he should pray! And that is how the prayer which the Son of God gave to His disciples is meant!
The human spirit must at last get used to the thought that it must bestir itself most energetically to obtain grace and forgiveness and thus fulfill the duty it has indolently neglected. He must pull himself together and work on himself if he would not fall into the darkness of the damned!
Just as it is here, where our physical body is sensitive to its surroundings of a homogenous nature, which it can therefore see, hear, and feel, so is it exactly in those parts of Creation whose species are not like ours. The ethereal man in the so-called beyond feels, hears and sees only his homogeneous ethereal environment; the higher spiritual man can again only feel his spiritual environment.
Rejoice, you ignorant and weak ones; for to you is given the same power as to the strong! Therefore do not make it too hard for yourselves! Do not forget that the pure, self-creating Power of God also streams through you, and that you too, as human beings, are enabled to give a definite direction to this Power through the nature of your inner intuitive perceptions, that is of your volition, for good as well as for evil, destructively or constructively, bringing joy or sorrow!
The real worship of God does not show itself in ecstasy, in murmured prayers, in begging, kneeling, and wringing of one’s hands, nor in blissful thrills, but in joyful activity! In the jubilant affirmation of this life on earth!
Prayer requires profound earnestness. Pray in calm and purity, so that the power of the intuitive perception will be increased through calm, and through purity it will receive that luminous lightness which will enable the prayer to be carried upward to the heights of all that is light and pure. Then the supplicant will receive that fulfillment which will be most beneficial for him and really advance him in his whole being!
When it is said that a man should not cling to earthly possessions as he strives towards the Kingdom of Heaven, this does not mean that he should give or throw them away and live in poverty. Man may and should enjoy with pleasure what God provides for him through His Creation.
The power of a prayer is not able to force or propel it upward; only purity with its corresponding lightness can do so.
Man does not know jubilant gratitude in joyful appreciation of the conscious existence granted him through active involvement in the great Creation for the benefit of his environment as willed and rightfully expected by God! He does not even suspect that just in this and only in this lies his real welfare, as well as his advance and ascent.
As it is, he takes every situation of his earth-life with greater realism. Every genuine experience leaves a firm imprint upon his intuition, upon his immortal part which, newly fashioned by these impressions, man at his transition takes with him as his own, as a part of himself.
You who often seek so strenuously to find the right way, why do you make it so hard for yourselves? In all simplicity picture to yourselves how the pure Power of the Creator flows through you, and how you guide it with your thoughts in a good or in an evil direction. There you have it all, without trouble and without racking your brain!
