Revelations of this time



Can I ask you something?

Many people (especially New Agers and spiritual seekers) do know the classic religious books are not final revelations.
The Bhagavad Gita, the Torah, the Bible, the Koran, the writings on the Buddha, these were not the end of God’s messages.
Especially people who have looked further on than their own religion, do know of  Blavatsky, Gurdjieff, Rudolf Steiner, Inayat Khan and dozens of other great revelations.
So and here is my problem and question.

When I read on the Internet or in the newspaper about people hearing voices, having revelations, seeing apparitions, then I always start to feel a little uncomfortable.
And the first thing I think is "it's too much, it seems so subjective, the stories are sometimes so contradictory, maybe they invent everything, recently a story in the newspaper about an old Dutch couple with warnings of Mary, blood tears of saints, stigmata etc. It seems to be all over the top than".

For in all these stories and revelations, and so-called truths are so many contradictions, which brings to one simple conclusion: not everything can be true.
And of course I for myself are feeling very uncomfortable, because I am hearing a voice and have put hundreds of blogs texts on the Internet, so I belong to these today's "tall" stories.

Would you like to comment on this issue?

I would like to.

The truth on earth, as expressed by the prophets, saints, seers, mediums, messengers, like you, is almost always subjective. This is inherent to the state of the Earth and humanity. Because the messages are also determined by how well the people who listen to revelations and messages are capable of putting their own thinking aside. And that's very difficult*.

So almost always the revelations are coloured.
So almost always the revelations are subjective.
So almost always the revelations are a mixture of truth and untruth.
So almost always the revelations are meant for a particular group, they fit within a particular religion, they can only be understood by a certain group of people.

We know this.
We accept this.
This is how We have it in view.
This is part of the grand plan.
This is contributing to God's plan for the earth and for mankind.
This is good.

God does not expect man to perform miracles.
God expects man to listen when God or Its servants speak to man.
And God expects these servants to express it all as well as possible.
That's enough.
And God expects above all those words put on paper to inspire mankind.
Nothing more.
And God expects all those words to be a guide to action, no code or law book.
And God expects mankind not to hurl each other with their truths, and their interpretations and their opinions and their beliefs and their faith.

Because not the words are counting, but the deeds.
Not the faith is counting, but what you do with it.
Not the revelations are counting, but the effect they have on the deeds of man.

So do not feel uncomfortable.
Because your words are indeed coloured and subjective and sometimes untrue.
Not because I do not know the truth.
But because the truth, which I bring you, shall be corrupted by your limitations.

And let every man for himself search for the truth.
And choose from all revelations.
And be content with his own discoveries.
And inspired by his own truths.
Because this is what it boils down to: when man comes after his death in God's driven, he will not be asked what he believed.
He will be asked what he did for the least of Mines, Christ said.

My blessings to you all

By their fruits ye shall know them


 

 Would You like to comment on this?

I want to make a distinction between a belief and a religious community / believers .

Concerning a belief: ah, a belief may be very true , very pure , very idealistic . Sometimes it got started with a mighty prophet , sometimes with a single sacred event , sometimes God has initiated this belief on earth, sometimes a holy man , but in all cases it is the past , it's over, it's just theory.
I prefer to look with you at the practice .

Therefore we restrict ourselves to a religious community / believers .
That is an active practice on earth. There you can see people getting going, there are the results of the religious community visible. There outsiders can get an impression of the effect on the outside world . There you can ask the believers what their participation in this religious community has brought them.

So there we have to deal with objective effects .
There we can see the fruits of this religious community.
And therefore this is a handy guide :

“By their fruits ye shall know them”

Is one separating fellowmen, or bringing them together ?
Is one spreading lover or rather hate?
Is one giving man freedom or is one sowing anxiety?
Is one helping sick or sad fellowmen or is one making attempts?
Is one spreading tolerance or is one judging ?
Is one inspiring fellowmen or is one causing fear ?
Is one speaking about a world of beauty or about a world of ugliness?
Is one giving hope or is one discouraging fellowmen?
And above all is one speaking of a loving God or of a resentful God ?


In this manner one can discriminate if one is dealing with a good religious community / believers or with deluded ones.
In the first case , God is the source of inspiration .
In the second case, the devil, the monkey of God .
In the first case, man is progressing spiritually.
In the second case, man is getting in arrears.
So look at the deeds , not the words.

“By their fruits ye shall know them”

My blessings to you all
