Clarified spirit Calmed heart!

God is Life! He alone! All else is but a consequence of the motion which as such only comes into being through the pressure of the radiation of Life!

‘The man who in a really fervent prayer seeks help for something, obtains connection through his attitude with that sphere from which help can be proffered. This I have mentioned once before in my explanations about the effect of prayer. Do not think of prayer as pleading, but as worship – worship and veneration! Every plunge into such deep meditation by the human spirit, however, is nothing but an effort to establish a connection, a seeking for connection with the Light, with Purity and with Life! The desire and longing of the human spirit expand in such cases. In its spiritual seeking it reaches out to Luminous Heights. And if it thereby seeks in true earnestness it will then find, as Christ has already promised. It finds the connection with Life. But only the connection, not Life Itself!

‘Thus through prayer or earnest seeking you find a path connecting you with God, and it is on account of this that He appears as omnipresent as you have imagined in the past. But God can never be seen by any creature!’

– (From In the Light of Truth – The Grail Message by Abd-ru-shin, Lecture: Omnipresence)

Prayer opens up new life dimensions!

Are many of us not familiar with the experience that is described in the following quotation from the Grail Message?

Man is asked to make of himself what he is supposed to become to fulfill his destiny.
Paul Tillich

Only attempt a prayer when your soul stirs, be it in joy or in suffering. But every prayer out of wantonness or habit is sacrilege towards God! Let His Name be too sacred for you to have it on your lips at every opportunity!
From Past Millennia (Published by Stiftung Gralsbotschaft, Stuttgart)

‘... That is why even today many a man, after he leaves school to enter upon life, experiences how he entirely loses the faith acquired in his childhood, although struggling bravely to retain it. Sooner or later, if he is an earnest seeker for the Truth, he has to build up entirely anew from the very beginning.’

(Lecture: The Recognition of God)

Thus the true human being should therefore be an earnest seeker. Already, over 2000 years ago there was One who called for earnest seeking:

‘Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you!’

Thus spoke Jesus, the Son of God, who gave human beings the masterpiece that is the ‘Lord’s Prayer’ and taught them, in addition, everything they needed to guide them on an upward path. And the life-path of
