Man and the Earth

What have men contributed to the formation of this earth that might give them the right to freely dispose of it! Constantly they argue about the distribution of property without a thought of what the real owner has to say about it. Men, you have no intention of even concerning yourselves with this because you properly sense that such envious and hateful activity is against the will of the owner who graciously grants you the Earth as your dwelling place in the gross-material world. This activity acutely characterizes humanitys attitude toward their God and Creator! Empty words, hypocritical activity, or intrinsically empty deeds can no longer disguise this fact. Like vandals, earthmen wreak havoc on goods that were entrusted to them. These goods are entrusted to them merely for proper use in accordance with Gods purpose, and nothing else! Therefore it cannot come as a surprise to you if the malicious, barbarous guests are thrown out of the dwelling which they continually defile, thus mocking the proprietor. The proprietor! This is not an empty word, nor a hollow concept. I will explain it briefly and reveal in broad outline that this is indeed the way it is; for in these matters, too, you must pass from faith to conviction. In this connection I will speak only of your dwelling, i.e. the earth! Of its formation. You know that everything which can take on form in the worlds is contained within the radiation of the All-Holy Light. The radiation of the Light contains everything that was

necessary for the Creation of all the worlds and that is essential for its maintenance. If you wish to follow me properly, you need, from the start, to make a sharp distinction between God, the All-Holy Light Itself, and the radiation of God. You must not make the mistake of thinking that Light and its radiation are one and the same because the radiation emanates from the Light. Such reasoning would spring from h u m a n thinking, which is unable to reach such heights and is therefore unable to conceptualize it. Be content, therefore, if I say that the direct radiation of God, although divine, is not God Himself. The two are different, not to be considered as one. The direct radiation of God as such has its boundary in the Grail Castle. Beyond that it is transformed and can therefore no longer be characterized as divine. The further down it descends the more transformations it undergoes through cooling and the associated changes within itself. Nonetheless it must always be called radiation of the Light, and it remains so even in its transformations, yet there is a difference. I have already explained all of this in my Message to the extent that an exact picture of this is provided. Today I will speak only of the formation of the earth. I will therefore pass over the transformations of the Light radiation and their effects, down to the world of matter and will start right off with the earth itself. It is not easy to single out one thing from the universe to form a starting point, when everything is in motion and inseparable. Therefore, seek to understand this one sentence clearly:

Everything that is fundamental, driving, up building, supportive and sustaining is radiation! Your desire to know must be firmly anchored in this. The pressure or the power of the Light itself forces the propelling and circular movement so that nothing can come to a standstill. It is in this continuous movement, in combination with warming and cooling, that everything is formed, always into a very specific species, which, in accordance with the Law of Radiations could not be formed in any other way. This may be taken as the basis for the picture which I will give. On the way down to the points where materialities can solidify and take on form, there is much that has already detached itself in order to take on form, such as the various levels of the pure-spiritual, the spiritual and the pure substantiality. Planes and worlds could thus be formed which, while circulating within themselves, do not cross certain boundaries. In the appropriate cooling of the radiations the gross-material rocks of the earth were able to consolidate, during which process elemental helpers, always exactly corresponding to the respective species of rocks, are consciously at work. Through their expanding consciousness these beings receive corresponding human forms Water, air and soil had also separated at that point. Let us suppose that when we look at this certain part of the world all we find is air, water, soil and rock. All this was contained in the radiation of God, but only at a specific point in

the cooling process was it able to coalesce through movement thus becoming materially tangible and visible. Despite gaining visibility in the cooling process each one of these species retains a certain element of radiation so that even rock has an intrinsic radiation which at the same time holds it together. Now the rock is subjected to the influences of air and humidity as well as to changing temperatures, particularly on its surface. With time, these influences produce changes on the outermost layer known as weathering. Since the inherent radiation of the rock permeates outward through the weathered layer setting this layer aglow, figuratively speaking, it is being transformed through this glowing before it can be effective outwardly because the weathering caused a change in the outermost layer of rock. This completely natural alteration of the radiation also provides it with altered properties. As soon as this change of the rock radiation has reached a very specific degree it offers the possibility of solidification of seeds for lichen and mosses which are still loosely floating in the invisible general radiation. These seeds are attracted by the type of radiation of the weathered rock, and corresponding elemental helpers carefully combine them, nurture them to maturation, and tend to the growth of the developing plants, which in turn develop their inherent radiation in the consolidation. When they wilt and decay their radiation in turn undergoes a change which in a certain condition offers the way for consolidation of seeds for other plants. Everywhere, elemental helpers such as gnomes, elves, etc., who were able to form under

the influence of the altered radiation prior to the coarser consolidation of the seed components, are lovingly and supportively at work. These have frequently been seen by various people And so it continues onward in the up-building or the process of evolution, however man wishes to name it. The transformations of the radiations offer to ever new species the possibility of consolidation and development. Thus the most diverse varieties of plants emerge, always following the lawful up-building contained within and manifesting through the transformations of the radiations. Through the consolidation of the radiations of rock, decaying plants, water, and air and soil at certain lawfully determined qualities and quantities, emerge the first animals whose grossmaterial seeds are also invisibly present in the general radiation. The respective mixture of radiations suitable for this purpose magnetically attracts the existing components from the main radiation, which of course always encompasses everything. Thus it is first the seed which forms as a condensation, and not the animal, which only develops from out of the consolidated seed. With this the mystery of the familiar riddle is also solved: which came first on earth, the chicken or the egg? Advancing step by step, evolution then proceeded with the creation of species in accordance with the laws inherent in changes in the radiations until; finally, in a very specific state of maturity, the most highly evolved animal obtained the kind of blood radiation that offered the human spirit germ the opportunity to incarnate. Indeed, through the nature of its blood radiation at that time it attracted, even forced the human spirit

germ to incarnate and, while slowly awakening in the animal body, to remodel this body in order to form present-day man, including his outward appearance, in the advancing degrees of his self-awareness. Today, I only wish to point to the genesis in a rough outline, in order to form a picture which shows you that everything has to be Gods property, because everything was formed out of His radiation and could not exist without it. Man, however, has no share in the earth, but is merely permitted to inhabit it. The earth had already been formed when he was permitted to awaken upon it in order to develop a conscious existence. Had you listened and adapted yourselves to the Divine Laws in creation, in humble acceptance of all of the gifts therein, which is equivalent to acting in accordance with these laws; you would already today be living in paradise on earth. Free from worry and strife, you would not even know envy and hatred, greed and lust for power; in short, you would be human beings! Happy human beings who, vibrating in the radiance of the Light, continue in the up-building of the Kingdom which belongs to God. * Published in Die Stimme; Heft 5; 1937.

Jesus said: But I say unto you, that ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

This very statement has been the cause of a great variety of disputes. It is also part of the reason for many people to brand the Christian religion as a religion of weakness. The mistake people make is to interpret expressions of those times with todays concepts. If we take the expression evil in the way Jesus meant it, we now have to use the term suffering in order to receive immediate clarification. With his words Ye shall not resist evil, i.e. suffering, Jesus chastises people for a bad habit, at the same time giving practical advice for the benefit of humanity. Even at that time it was a bad habit of people to complain about everything that did not go according to their desires. Just as it is today. When need or any kind of suffering strikes, immediately they begin to lament and accuse, even if they realize, in looking back, that they themselves were the cause and are to blame. Worse yet, if people cannot recall the cause in their current lifetime. However, they should not complain senselessly, since they definitely gave cause themselves to whatever befalls them, in reciprocity. This is why Jesus said: Ye shall not resist evil, since in reality, by resisting, the individual adds yet another wrong. Mans resistance is resistance to consequences of karmic threads that are attached to him. Without resolving these threads, he can never ascend. This is why this often misunderstood statement contains practical advice which comprises everything needed by man to act right without having to rack his brain about it. Yet, he has persisted in wondering and mulling over it more than anything else. Man is not to accept suffering reproachfully

and resentfully, rather he is to joyfully start working on overcoming it in the realization that he is resolving something which would otherwise keep him from ascending. How invaluable is this advice! If he starts the work of overcoming his adversity with joy, his suffering is only half as hard and much shorter. Thus, the expression do not resist evil does not refer to the darkness, rather to any adversity that confronts man. Mans insistence on assuming the expression evil to mean the darkness first led to many errors and formed the basis for erroneous interpretation, even making the right interpretation impossible. At the time the word evil meant everything disagreeable in the earthly sense. Men also have to get used to this fact: I have not come in order to explain the Bible with its human errors, but to newly proclaim the WORD of the LORD, as well as to instate new laws which humanity needs in order to exist in the Kingdom of God on Earth!

Declaration of July 19, 1938

Copy I herewith declare that any and all foreign organizations which may still be in existence and which are based on the teachings of the Grail Message must restrict any possible further pursuit of their activity to a manner which is responsible solely to the laws of their respective country; that I myself no longer have anything whatever to do with these organizations; that any and all mandates given by me in this regard whether of a commercial or organizational nature are to be considered

as terminated by me. From here on forward no one may claim any kind of authority granted by me: 1. All commercial and private mandates given by me are terminated. Only the Power of Attorney given to Dr. Karl Polaczec, attorney, remains in effect and serves as his authorization to make dispositions in accordance with the intent of my directives. 2. I ask all my former adherents to discontinue any and all community, cooperation, as well as any activity which might be construed as continuation of the movement led by me. 3. It is my specific wish that all former members of the Grail Settlement on Vomperberg leave this settlement and its vicinity as soon as possible. 4. It is imperative that even the appearance of a continuation of the movement in any form be avoided. Whoever acts against my respective wishes acts against me and on his own responsibility. Innsbruck, July 19, 1938 Oskar Bernhardt (Personal signature) This is to certify that the above is a correct copy. The original is in my office.

Copy
from the amendment to the Statement of Mr. Oskar Ernst Bernhardt Kipsdorf, October 26, 1939 The Statements are kept at the offices of Dr. Karl Polaczek, attorney, in Innsbruck and were made available to him at the time by Mr. Linckelmann, attorney. The copy is given to Mr. Linckelmann since his records were lost during the war. ============================================= These my words have not been changed in the slightest. They read today exactly as they did from the beginning and they provide part of proof and basis for my Response. As they are now they were from the beginning. If one or the other persons own conviction should have shifted or changed through other influences or intentions, there is no reason for charging me with the intention of any kind of deception! Nothing has been done or changed from my part, but everything has remained as it is, word for word. These words are my unchanged, complete conviction of which I have never intended to persuade anyone, because I only find joy in the work itself and am indifferent as to who and how many people will claim it to be their own conviction.

It is in these works already written by me, which clearly and succinctly reveal the nature of my volition that I see my actual life mission, which, according to my conviction, consists in opening ways for new knowledge on earth. Knowledge of Creation hitherto unknown which gives mankind inner clarity and stability. For this reason, too, I regard myself as an envoy of God, since no human being out of himself could ever have written works about such knowledge with completely new, yet simple explanations, without being preordained through special gifts for this purpose. There must exist, therefore, a special connection with Divine Wisdom. For me the works themselves are proof of this and it is why I lived for this conviction without any doubt, without wishing to draw any kind of advantages from this but the joy of being able to write such things down for humanity. Of course, the concept of Envoy of God or Son of God, in this case must not be regarded in the same way as it was with Jesus, but it is a case of a special radiation process which was anchored in my body at a specific time and only after having experienced and lived through great suffering for the purpose of necessary maturing. Everything, including the evil experiences, were necessary so as to enable me to put the works into the right words out of my

own experiences, in which I act as the outermost earthly pen of Divine Will for new revelations of necessary knowledge. The thought of any commercial activity in connection with my conviction which is founded in my works about Creation knowledge has never entered my mind and would seem like a defilement of my mission. Consequently, it is not I as a person who is cause and center of everything that has happened hitherto, including affiliations of various associations, but merely my works In The Light of Truth as New Grail Message. People contacted me only after reading my works, never before, as a consequence of their own free personal conviction of the rightness of my explanations. When such people who inwardly felt liberated from great uncertainties and grave oppression, wished to express their gratitude and joy by offering me favors of various kinds now and then, there was no reason for me to reject them and to my knowledge, and no one has the right to charge me with wrongdoing, even fraud, for accepting these things. Moreover, I have often experienced how a rejection deeply hurt such people while they always assured me that acceptance on my part meant great joy to the givers.
