Many readers do not yet have a clear picture of the gradations between the Primordially Created Beings, the Created Beings and the Developed Beings.
Some conceptions thereof still appear fraught with confusion. Yet it is all quite simple.
The confusion only arises because man mixes up the expressions somewhat, and pays insufficient attention to the strict boundaries that exist.
For this reason it is best if he simply imagines Creation as explained to him so far as follows:
1. The Pure Spiritual Part
2. The Spiritual Part
3. The Material Part
It can also be described as:
1. Primordial Creation
2. Creation
3. Subsequent Creation
This leads quite naturally to the thought that the Primordially Created Beings are in Primordial Creation, the Created Beings in Creation, and the Developed Beings in Subsequent Creation.
These designations are not wrong as such in describing the whole of Creation in broad outlines only, but when going into more detail the divisions must be more sharply drawn and expanded upon while the basic terms remain the same.
More accurate explanations show up any intermediate steps which cannot be avoided in order to present a gapless picture.
Today I will refrain from mentioning a Substantiate part, since Substantiality is present in all parts anyway; except to say that between the Spiritual part and the Material part there exists a large layer of a special kind of Substantiality which, however, need not be regarded as a separate Creation part; for in its activity this layer serves primarily to promote motion, thus to generate heat and form the Material worlds; it therefore does not form a distinct Creation part in itself.
This layer of Substantiality does not need to be named as a Creation part, but as a Creation species which, driving and forming, belongs to the Material Creation Part.
I purposely speak of the basics of Creation as it has been explained so far; for I have not yet finished with it by a long chalk, and gradually I must expand everything I have said much further, just as I have always done, a little at a time. This necessitates inserting new divisions into that which I had explained before, thus extending your view. To have stated everything at once would have been too much for the human spirit. Even with this method as prepared by myself, the human spirit will still have to summon all his strength in order to be able to internalize this knowledge to some degree.
Let us not speak today about Primordial Creation, Creation and Subsequent Creation, but, fundamentally, simply about the Primordial Spiritual Part, the Spiritual Part, and the Material Part. Then man can no longer mix things up so easily.
I myself, however, had to mention all the possible designations, so that they may be used for stricter divisions of the gradations.
Gradually they shall penetrate human knowledge ever more clearly and firmly and, in spite of their comprehensiveness, they must no longer cause any confusion.
First and strongest in Creation is the Pure Spiritual Creation Part. This consists of two basic sections. The uppermost, highest section of the Pure Spiritual Realm bears the actual Primordially Created Beings, who arose from the radiations of Parsifal immediately as fully matured, and did not need any development. This section reaches as far as Vasitha, whose activities lie at the lower boundary.
The second section holds developed ones in the Pure Spiritual Realm. Therefore children are to be found there for the first time, which do not exist in the uppermost section; for children can only exist where development takes place.
Both sections, however, have the Pure Spiritual in common. But only the uppermost section can be called Primordial Creation in the right sense, and the Pure Spiritual Beings dwelling therein can be considered the true Primordially Created Beings!
With this I spread out Creation a little for the better understanding of the human spirit in Subsequent Creation.
Thus we actually cannot speak of a Primordial Creation reaching down as far as Patmos, as we have done in the past for the sake of greater simplicity, but to be more exact we must now speak of an uppermost Primordial Creation which came into existence in a state of full maturity, and of a subsequently developed Primordial Spiritual Creation, while both sections together form the Pure Spiritual Realm or the Pure Spiritual Creation Part.
Pure Spiritual, or the Pure Spiritual Realm, is therefore the great collective designation for the uppermost part of Creation, considered as a Creation species, while the designation Primordial Creation in the stricter sense applies only to the highest part of it.
If we now wish to penetrate further into the knowledge of Creation, then we must no longer take the Pure Spiritual and Primordial Creation as one conception, as we have done until now.
It is true, Primordial Creation is Pure-Spiritual, but in the Pure-Spiritual Realm there is also a world of development which is below Primordial Creation proper and which, in connection with this forms the Pure Spiritual Realm, where there are Pure-Spiritual Primordially Created Beings who were immediately able to be fully matured without any transition as being the strongest and most powerful ones; and following this there are Pure-Spiritual Developed Beings, who must begin their life as children.
The first section, Primordial Creation, comprises three principal steps or planes; the second section of the Primordial Spiritual Realm contains four, altogether there are seven basic steps, which again are divided into many sub-divisions.
Since I had not intended to go this far with my explanations, I simply called the previous lectures on the subject “The spiritual planes” with the intent of covering therein everything that was not material.
But since I do mention additional details after all, I must now more clearly delineate and give the previous lectures about the Pure Spiritual Realm the title “From the Pure-Spiritual Realm of Creation” in order to place greater emphasis on the differences.
This Pure- Spiritual Realm comprising so many sections is followed by the great Spiritual Realm.
The Spiritual is not just a weaker species issuing from the Pure-Spiritual, but a species alien to the Pure-Spiritual which, however, is weaker in itself, and therefore needs a greater distance from the Primordial Light in order to be able to form and become conscious to some extent.
Therefore it sinks down further in order to be able to form a realm at a greater distance from the Light; however, it has no part of the Pure- Spiritual but exists by itself.
It is all so easy and natural and yet difficult to explain in a way that will introduce the human spirits to knowledge which lies above their origin. However, you must now grasp the connection between all the happenings so that you do not dangle about as an ignorant appendage in the rotation of this Creation, like dissonant bells in a spinning top, because you do not manage to obey as trusting children do.
You do not wish to fulfill the word “Become like children!”, and so there remains only one way as the last of all help for your salvation: the knowledge of Creation!
You must have at least enough knowledge to enable you to adjust yourselves to the lawful swinging, which will uplift and carry you along, or fling you far away as chaff, into disintegration.
The swinging is intensified at present for the purpose of the great purification, and is borne by the Omnipotence of God! It therefore irresistibly forces each creature to swing harmoniously or to perish in the wild pain of immeasurable despair, which, as a consequence of stubborn self-will, arises out of the hopelessness brought about by a final recognition that it is on the wrong path without any prospect of turning back. For this reason seek to assimilate the knowledge of the Truth, which grants you support and without detour leads straight to the goal.
If you look around you in an alert manner you can immediately recognize the fact that you really have the Word of Truth in my Message; for your entire life on earth up until now, as well as the new experiencing of every moment outwardly and inwardly, will become absolutely clear to you as soon as you shine the light of my Message on it.
Not a single question remains unsolved for you; a great understanding arises within you of the working of the adamantine Laws in Creation which have so far been a mystery to you, the Laws which guide you with the consequences of your volition; and as a crown for all your effort there comes the wonderful sensing of a Wisdom, of an Omnipotence, of a Love and of a Justice that can only issue from God, Whose Being you therewith discover!
But let us return to Creation.
The Pure-Spiritual Realm is then followed by the Spiritual Realm. Here, Spiritual is to be considered as a different species, not as a weaker residue of the Pure-Spiritual.
After crossing the boundary of a certain distance from the Light necessary for the possibility of forming the Spiritual, there also arise in the Spiritual, immediately and without transition of development, fully matured spirits which must be called Created Beings in contradistinction to the Primordial Beings in the Pure-Spiritual.
Thus the Created Beings are the strongest and most powerful in the Spiritual, similar to the Primordially Created Beings in the Pure- Spiritual, which was already able to form earlier.
And just as there was previously in the Pure-Spiritual, there is also a second section in the Spiritual which requires development, and where consequently there are children alongside those who have matured through development. These two sections together form the Spiritual Part of Creation.
This Spiritual Part is then followed by a large ring of a very special Substantiate species enclosing the Material Part, influencing it, penetrating it, moving it, and thereby bringing heat and formation.
The Material Creation-Part in turn also has two sections. The first part, the world of Ethereal Matter, forms immediately through the influence of the Substantiate, since it can be penetrated easily. The second part, Gross Matter, due to its greater density must first go through a process of development with the help of the Substantiate beings. Naturally these two basic sections also fall into many sub-divisions.
Each section of the Creation-species splits into many planes, of which each individual plane is again so varied that it appears like a huge world in itself.
However, I shall only accurately explain to you that which exists within the boundaries of your human spirit! This is already so vast that your spirit must bestir itself and make every effort continually and without interruption, in order to grasp aright even one part while here on earth. This part, however, gets you to a point where you cannot get lost easily.
Only with the true knowledge and with arduous effort will you be able to work yourselves out of the swamp of your intellectual conceit, for you can now no longer become children in spirit. Today you lack any capacity to unquestioningly, like worry-free children, submit trustingly to high guidance for the misguided, overstretched activity of your earthly intellect no longer permits this!
Thus there is only one way left to you for your salvation: the path of true knowledge which leads from faith to conviction!
So that you are able to walk this path, to that end, I will help you with the Message which I have given you. However, strive to absorb this knowledge inwardly and to keep it alive so that you will never lose it but take it along with you on all your paths!
The word will then come true which has remained alive in people’s sayings since olden times:
“The more man becomes capable of advancing in true knowledge, the more clearly he recognizes the fact that in reality... he knows nothing!”
Expressed in other words:
“One who is really knowing becomes small within himself before such greatness, the traces of which he finds in the process of becoming knowing! This means that he becomes humble and loses the conceit that keeps the human spirit imprisoned, he becomes free and rises up.”
Try to impress upon your mind today that which I have already said in my lectures, but of which you nevertheless do not appear to have formed the right picture, at least not all of you, namely, that in the gradation the Created Beings do not immediately follow the Primordially Created Beings of the Primordial Spiritual Realm, but that first the developed Pure Spiritual-Beings in the lower part of the Pure-Spiritual Realm form a big intermediate step.
Only thereafter follow, as the uppermost in the Spiritual Realm the Created Beings, which are not Pure-Spiritual but Spiritual, as an entirely different species, which are then again followed by Developed Spiritual Beings.
But from there we are still far, very far away from the Worlds of Matter, before which there swings the ring of the special kind of Substantiate forces, which I will discuss more closely only later, because their activity is very closely connected with you and you could not remain in the World of Matter at all without their help.
Without this help your development would be impossible. You would have to remain spirit-germs with the burning desire to be able to become conscious through the Grace of God, the Only One, The Almighty!
You however, show only ingratitude for the necessary activity of those beings from the substantiate ring around the material spheres who are always ready to help by making the insane assertion that they must belong to the realm of legends and mythology because you obstructed your ability to see and hear them.
So often you have smiled scornfully when this matter was discussed, and you have no idea what fools you made of yourselves in so doing, and how repulsive you must have seemed to the helpers you so urgently need!
There is much you have to make good and make up for in order to mend the rungs in the ladder for the upward climb of the spirit, the rungs which you have so frivolously and presumptuously broken. But without them you cannot stride upwards! The foot of the spirit needs this support and cannot skip any one of these rungs.
In these brief explanations I have not at all mentioned the Sphere which is in the immediate radiation of God and which we called the Divine Sphere; the Sphere which surpasses by far the magnitude of all the rings of Creation combined. I shall probably never again return to this subject, since man is and always will remain too far away from it. He only needed the descriptions I have given so far in order to be able to at least form a coherent picture going downward from the Origin of all Life.
Learn, you men, for it is high time!
