Gabriele Letter 4

Dear friends, the prophetic word is the word of God to mankind, spoken from the love and All-unity, so that people may again recognize and find the path that leads to the love and All-unity of God. To think and live in the almighty Spirit of love and All-unity is the most beautiful gift of God to us people.

The Power of the Christ of God in Human Beings –
The Spark of the Deed

Through His word of truth, mankind also receives detailed knowledge about the true teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, which fell into oblivion through a religion that became rigid in its external cult rituals and through ecclesiastic teachings that are a part of the Fall-thought. And so, the word of salvation also provides us with information about the significance of the Redeemer-deed of the Christ of God; for mankind should become aware that Jesus, the Christ, let flow into all souls, and into the soul of every human being, the Redeemer-spark, which is the help, the way, the truth and the life.
Each soul and every person bears the great love for God and neighbor, the love and All-unity. The inviolable All-law of love and unity is the life; it is the spiritual substance that maintains all condensed forms, of which the animals and the nature of our Earth are also a part. The divine All-unity encompasses all minerals, plants and animals. They, too, are, like human beings, bearers of the eternal life. Animals, plants and minerals are divine forces of consciousness that have taken on form, forces that in the evolutionary cycles of the pure Being attain the complete degree of maturity of a divine being. This whole lawful process of development takes place in the law of All-unity, God.
The life forms of nature on Earth do not bear the Redeemer-spark; they do not need redemption, because they are not a part of the Fall-thought, as are the souls in the spheres of purification and the human beings of this Earth. Minerals, plants and animals have not burdened their inner, original spiritual substance through unlawfulness; they did not fall out of the All-unity as did the Fall-beings, whose Fall from God was made possible by their free will.

The Redeemer-power is the spark of the Christ of God, which embedded itself in all souls and people with the “It is finished” of Jesus on Golgotha. The power of the Christ of God, which came from the Redeemer-spark, is the All-unity, for it is the omnipresent divine power of creation, from which emerged the great unity of all beings and forms of creation. The power of the Christ of God in human beings is also the spark of the deed, which says that faith alone is not enough, but that from this faith, the true deed in the Spirit of God, in the Spirit of Christ, should rise. At the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus spoke of the true deed in and from His Spirit: The one who hears these words of Mine and follows them is like a wise man who built his house solidly upon a rock. And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew about this house. And it did not fall in, for it was founded upon a rock. And the one who hears these words of Mine and does not follow them should be compared with a foolish man who built his house upon sand. And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house and it fell in, and great was its collapse.
And so, we people should also do what Jesus, the Christ, taught us. Through the fulfillment of His teachings, the true Christian of the deed ignites the Redeemer-spark, which then becomes an inner flame more and more, a flame that sets soul and person aglow. The one who hears His teachings and also does them walks the path of truth and will thus be illuminated from within, by the Christ of God. Through this, the pilgrim on the path of truth refines his senses, because his way of thinking, speaking and acting becomes more light-filled, that is, increasingly pleasing to God. Because of the growing brightness of his consciousness, the illuminated person recognizes the will of God in the various facets of his life on Earth.

People in the Spirit of truth see things and events that take place in their immediate surroundings and in this world with the eyes of the All-law, the love for God and the All-unity. Through this clear sight, farsightedness and insight, which the enlightened person attains by following Jesus, the Christ, he becomes an alert observer who is able to think analytically. His heart and mind develop from this, and become an instrument of the spiritual consciousness.
People with heart and mind are not narrow-minded; they are not spiritual rhapsodists, but earnest spiritual realists, who with moderation, justice and wisdom bring things and events to a point, a point that corresponds to the eternal All-Law.

The Pharisees and scribes –
and their vassals:
moral cowards and servile subordinates

The person who earnestly strives to prove himself to be a true Christian orients himself to the commandments of God and to the teachings of Jesus, the Christ. He will not orient himself to the human machinations of those who hide their greed for prestige and power behind a visor of flattery and smooth talk. They are those who support their lackeys with underhanded tactics, as well as with deliberate and purposeful preferential treatment, while belittling, discriminating against and slandering others who are not useful to them. And so, the one who follows Jesus, the Christ, will recognize those who, seen as a whole, lie unscrupulously, and will keep his distance from them.
Unfortunately, many people are moral cowards, subordinating themselves to the viewpoints of ecclesiastic and worldly tyrants. They get drawn into their machinations, hoping to acquire a little piece of the magic cake of power. They are the ones who bow and scrape subserviently, because they, too, want to play in the poker game of power at any price. For this, they betray the great Spirit of unity and their fellow man as well.
The one who has played some trumps in the gambling dens of power and found no echo there may then realize in a flash that many people of the western world have become pagan poker players, draping the cloak “Christian” around themselves, and that this whole Ping-Pong game has nothing at all to do with Christ. Despite this recognition, many remain appendages of the pharisees and scribes, of those Ping-Pong players who from the very beginning have led and still lead the people astray.
It is particularly the moral cowards who have recognized and still recognize much, but do not themselves rise to be straightforward and truthful, who grant power to those who, with their false teaching and inspired by the Fall-thought, bind their sheep and keep them in their folds. The moral cowards, the conformists, the subjugated ones, allowed, and still allow, the church magicians, the pharisees and scribes, to pull monstrosities out of their hat filled with magic tricks and equip these absurdities with the halo of the “unfathomable mysteries of God,” so that none should dare to doubt them. Out of God, the All-One, the eternal Father, they made a God of punishment, of vengeance, a tyrant, whom one tries to humor with incantations, so that He might perhaps acknowledge the magic tricks of those obsessed with power, and bless them.
But the hollowness of the unctuous words is obvious. From this, the question comes up, why there are always contemporaries who don’t notice – or don’t want to admit – that the appointed magicians don’t even take their magical practices seriously themselves, but use them solely to intimidate their vassals and lemmings, in order to prevent them from coming up with the “presumptuous” idea of using their heads.
Dear friends, God has nothing at all in common with all this nonsense. God is and remains the God of love and kindness, the God of All-unity.
The moral cowards and obsequious subjects are kept in a state of psychotic anxiety by the church magicians, through their teaching of eternal damnation. Because one is generally accustomed to accepting this as a given fact, one must clearly bear in mind what an appalling betrayal of God and of Christ lies in this, and what a malicious deception of those fellow men and women who ultimately are the brothers and sisters of these reverend “shepherds.”
God, who loves all His children without exception – all human beings, all souls, all beings – is not only greatly slandered and defamed by people who still even call themselves “Christian,” but is grossly misused for purposes that serve the subjugation of many. The ecclesiastical power-schemers deliberately use God as a punishing whip, as a means of coercion against those entrusted to them who dare to bring into doubt the legitimacy of the organization and its anti-divine and anti-Christian doctrine!
Because the lackeys remain obsequious, the power-hungry were able to found a power-apparatus that they named “Christian.” With the label “Christian,” they proceed openly and subversively against all those who see through their “halo” and do not remain silent, who do not join the game of Ping-Pong played under the guise of “Christian.”
Someone who is spiritually blind does not see the vulture that makes his true nature invisible to his prey with the words “God has His mysteries.” The supposed mysteries of God serve as camouflage, as the sheepskin that the raving wolf pulls over himself.

The true God does not hide Himself from the people. The person who does not dare to step before the countenance of God as His child who fulfills His will, created the word “mystery,” with which he thinks he can cover up God’s will. The one who believes in the mysteries of God thus remains blind to the truth.
The one who “pulls the wool over the eyes of others,” over a long period of time, that is, who darkens the truth, is tied more and more to the shadow structure that he created. Sooner or later, he will no longer know what is the truth and what is a lie, and will himself believe in the “mysteries of God.” This means that the blind one follows the blind ones, who believe the same as he does. As a result, both fall into the pit.
The world has become a fire oven, to which in time all those will fall victim who do not cause the inner fire, the Redeemer-spark, to glow, who cling to the shadows that irresponsible church functionaries continue to uphold.

The supposed “mysteries of God” –
devastating consequences of ignorance
for many people until today

Why do the Catholic and Protestant-Lutheran churches always talk about the “mysteries of God” and even keep up the “Credo quia absurdum,” which means, “I believe, because it is absurd!”
The all-ruling, eternal and inviolable law of God is anything but absurd. It is logic, wisdom, greatness, unsurpassable and ingenious in its simplicity; it is highest consciousness, divine intelligence, clarity, the truth – it is absolute. And, as the eternal Spirit once said to us through the prophetic word about the Absolute Law: “Absolute is absolute. There is nothing beyond this.”
The law of God is everything in all things. In every aspect of the law, the whole is manifest, effective and alive; and the Absolute Law as a whole is, in turn, in accord with every one of its aspects. As already said, everything is clear and absolutely consistent, because God is eternally and unchangeably the same: the I AM.
However, if people mix the truth, which is God, with untruth, that is, with lies, then this conglomerate, of itself, can no longer be conclusive and consistent. One would rightly call it absurd.
When two contradictory statements are mentioned in one and the same connection, then only one of them can be true and right. But sham-Christian church doctrine then talks about the “mysteries of God.”
Mysteries are not needed by God, the eternal One, but by those who may very well adorn themselves with the fact that they have studied God, but actually know less about Him and know Him less than many a simple person of the people, who strives to lead a God-conscious life and to live in peace with his neighbor. The supposed mysteries of God are a consequence of man’s distance from his own nature, a lack of conscience on the part of those who feel, think and are up to something different than what they say and preach, and whose actions correspond to the Fall-thought.
The mysteries of God are ecclesiastical statements, because these institutions have lost the overall view of life.
In the year 553 at the Council of Constantinople, a majority vote condemned what the Early Christian teacher Origines had taught: that people’s souls existed as spirit beings before their birth into a human body, and that the event of the Fall had led them into a state of physical existence. At the same time, they condemned the belief that all souls and human beings would return to God one day. The council replaced this with the teaching of eternal damnation.
And so, at that council, people rejected the teaching of Jesus of Nazareth: the message of a loving Father-God, who condemns no one to damnation, let alone eternally, but instead leads back all souls and people – with the help of the Redeemer-force of the Christ of God, which becomes effective by following His teachings. Also rejected was the knowledge about the pre-existence of the soul, one of the basic tenets of the teaching of reincarnation, which was also taught by Jesus of Nazareth as we can see from several Early Christian writings. It is the teaching that is closely related to the law of sowing and reaping. The teaching of reincarnation lets us human beings understand why people in the western world have become as they are, as they present themselves today. People who could not comprehend the message of God, or did not want to – because their interests were not oriented to fulfilling the will of God – have distorted and changed the teachings from the Kingdom of God. The great wisdom of the conveyor of the message from heaven was forced into a narrow passage of incomprehensibility by those who indulge in self-adulation.
Over the course of centuries, the divine message was made more and more human and finally adapted to the desires and ambitions of the leaders of externalized religion. These took the image of God and the law of God, including the law of reincarnation “What you sow today you will reap tomorrow or in a future incarnation,” and pruned and cut it to shape and size so that it would fit what the religious leaders wanted. Because the watered-down teachings of the mainstream churches became ever more inconsistent and contradictory among themselves, the church “dignitaries” draped the guise of “mysteries of God” over them.
If in 553 at the Council of Constantinople, only a few of the spiritually unconscious had decided differently, the “mystery” would have been aired, and people in the western world would know all about the existence of the human soul before its physical embodiment and thus, about the basic tenets of the teaching of reincarnation.
This ill-starred decision robbed many people of the knowledge about the meaning and purpose of their life on Earth. They no longer knew the inter-connections of their fate and did not know that the conditions for the birth of the soul into other worlds, into the beyond, depend on the behavior of the human being during his life on Earth, all according to what the person thought, said and did. They also did not know that the return of the soul as a human being should be used to make amends for what the person had caused in former incarnations.
Let us realize that human beings even then – in 553 – were presumptuous enough to decide what is true and correct, and do so even today. When a churchgoer asks about the “where from and where to,” those who distorted the truth, the priests, cover it over with the mysteries of God, reasoning that: “God does not let just anyone see into His mysteries.”
In its dimensions, the devastating consequences of this wrong decision can hardly be imagined.
Let us realize that the fatal consequence of this ignorance is that many think that their egotistical way of thinking and living, the disparagement and domination of their fellow man, the torture, exploitation and murder of human beings and fellow creatures, the ruthless fight against the lives of others, the wanting to be and to have in its multitudinous variations etc., etc., etc., would merely bring them advantage and profit without punishment.

God never punishes. Man punishes himself, because he himself created the effects that he then – in this life on Earth or in the soul realms or in future incarnations – has to experience on himself. Whoever always does the same and similar things against the law of freedom, against the eternal love, that is, whoever acts against the law of God with always the same thoughts and words, is heading toward a point where catastrophe begins for him: sorrow, illness or need.
But that is not everything; the disaster, which stems from spiritual ignorance, is far more extensive. Namely, that since the person does not know about the causal correlations of sowing and reaping, of cause and effect, a painful and sorrowful experience cannot, or can hardly, teach him anything, because he lacks the basic spiritual knowledge that is the basis for self-recognition. Instead of figuring out his own faults, his blame or partial blame, he usually puts the blame solely on his neighbor, accusing, condemning and judging him, and thus increasing the weight of his own burden, instead of expiating some of it.
We know the path of probation, which is the path of self-recognition, of clearing things up and of doing them no more. There is also the path of expiation, which means to pay off guilt by suffering through what a person had done earlier to others. But without recognition of one’s own wrong behavior, of one’s own guilt, it is not possible to dissolve these negative energy potentials. But how shall a person recognize himself in the adversities he has experienced if he doesn’t even know that he is the perpetrator himself, according to the law of sowing and reaping?
The result is that all the pain and suffering was endured for nothing, that all need and misery was suffered for nothing, if they did not lead to insight and to a change of ways. And so, much has been suffered in this world and in the soul realms, and still is!
We can see what terrible and far-reaching consequences the decision in 553 in Constantinople has for many, many people right up until today, for the morals and ethics of private and public life! The Redeemer-power of the Christ of God can become effective only to a relatively low degree, because, for example, “faith alone is enough.” With this, any spiritual knowledge, any experiences of God, any inner, religious life is declared superfluous, null and void. Ever since Constantinople, “Christian” is ultimately no longer Christian, but “Christendom” is a tool, an instrument in the hands of the opponent of God, the adversary, the darkness.
Because this is so, God, the Eternal One, sent many messengers as proclaimers of the truth, even after the life of Jesus of Nazareth on Earth. And today, because the decline of the godless and God-distant world can no longer be stopped, He speaks again His word of truth, and with might, into a mankind that has been kept blind, and into a muddled and mendacious time, in order to ignite, with the light of truth, the light of recognition in many unknowing people.
Let us go back to the question: Why do the Catholic and Protestant-Lutheran churches always talk about the “mysteries of God”? The answer is: Because they do not want to be recognized as those who in truth they are: vassals of the anti-divine forces, the ruin of mankind as well as of nature and the animals – the Anti-Christ.

The opposing energy field of indoctrination –
“Church Christianity.”
A “just” war and “just” killing

It is high time that many people recognize what is binding them, in order to then clear it up in their lives and become truly free.
As pure beings we have absolute freedom, because we do the will of God; it is the freedom of will in His law that encompasses everything that is good, beautiful and noble. The law of freedom is in us and as beings in God we are and remain free. However, when a person violates the law of love for God and neighbor, the law of unity and freedom, which is his divine heritage and of which he is eternally a part, then he bears the consequences of this and binds himself to his causes, which come into effect according to the unerring causal law.
Whatever human beings have changed in the great order, in the Creation of God – the spiritual principles of which hold true in the earthly, material manifestations – also has its repercussions in the other world, where the soul will be after the death of its body. The law of sowing and reaping that indicates to us the law of reincarnation is the justice of God and, not last of all, His great love. It gives person and soul the chance to forgive and to make amends for unlawful deeds, in order to become free from the weight and burden that we have inflicted upon our souls. If our sinful aspects have been cleared up, our debt paid off, the result is that soul and person vibrate higher, because everything is radiation, vibration. Then, when the time of disembodiment comes, the soul can lightly and buoyantly return to the fine-material, eternal kingdom that is our eternal homeland.
And so, reincarnation, re-embodiment, gives the new human being a chance to make amends in this incarnation for the mistakes and faults he committed in former existences, that is, to even them out.
True freedom is unlimited, all-encompassing and present in all things, in every human being and in the laws of nature. Only the person who lives in the law of God is truly free.

Many a moral coward is aware that the Old Testament was not only distorted by the caste of priests, but also uprooted. Despite this, when they can no longer curb their aggressions, they base themselves on the Old Testament. The one who sees that he is in danger of no longer being able to restrain his aggressions becomes a predestined bearer of arms, who only too gladly directs his rifle at animals, which the worldly power-apparatus dismissed as an acknowledged target, over which it draped the “right,” the lot, to be slaughtered and shot down, whether in forest and field or in slaughterhouses.
The reckless acrobats of aggression need their justification for killing animals. Their support comes from those of like-mind and from the Pharisees of meat, all of whom howl with the wolves for the sake of their palates – against the Mother Earth, for power and for those obsessed with it.
The true realist, the clear thinker, sees through this and realizes that the Old Testament is largely a pagan work of art, equipped with a seedbed, so to speak, into which theological sophistries are planted in the name of theology and embellished with the word “Christian.” During the last 2000 years, their plantings, their embellishments, were pruned more and more to fit their “diplomacy,” in order to keep the moral cowards and losers dumb, which they have also managed to do.
By cleverly influencing their vassals, the embellishment became rampant and called itself Catholic and Protestant-Lutheran. Because the majority of people remained blind, the words from Reinhard Mey: “The minister took the bishop’s arm, whispering, “You keep them dumb, I’ll keep them poor...” reverberate in time and space. Because the blind follow the blind, the blind church power-holders don’t have to do a lot of explaining, because the spell of the “mysteries of God” quickly silences a possibly rebellious appendage.

The church institutions that with their influence dominate public life, and ultimately, all state organs, created a pagan media apparatus for themselves, with which they cleverly weaseled themselves into governing and managing all spheres of life – politics, economy, science, culture ... Thus, the infiltration is broadcast and the negative energy field of indoctrination that is called “Church Christianity” is intensified. It is a large field of negative forces, the volume of which is filled with a pagan consciousness, into which infants are bound already when they are baptized. From infancy on, what the parents have long ago become is successively instilled in the child.
If God is the All-unity and the baptism of babies is a part of the All-unity, then why don’t animals need baptism? Why don’t animals build temples in order to worship God in them? The simple answer is because they live in their Creator. For this, they are persecuted by those who from cradle to casket swim in a pagan and polluted baby bath, the baptismal water.
The Eternal One and His Son, Jesus, the Christ, are long in patience. Before and after Jesus, the Christ, enlightened men and women, admonishers, came again and again, who warned the power-apparatus Church, which during the last 2000 years has been working in the name of Jesus, the Christ, to change its ways and called it to reflect on the teachings of Jesus, the Christ, and to no longer lead people astray.
What the church functionaries actually practiced on the many enlightened men and women is partly confirmed in writing. The ecclesiastical power-apparatus did not keep to any of the instructions of the Almighty that were given through the enlightened men, women and prophets. It continued to work destructively, right up until the present time. Its motto is: Everything that does not conform – whether human, animal or nature – is to be eliminated.
Human and animal sacrifices are welcome to the adversary. This is why a defensive war is sanctioned as a matter of course in church teachings. Yes, it even talks about a “just war.” This means that all men and animals that die in a defensive war, die rightly, because according to ecclesiastical judgement, it is a just war.
Dear friends, in order to fully grasp the purport of this statement, one needs to clearly realize that when the Church – as an ethical-moral authority supposedly appointed by God – declares something to be “just,” then this means, just before God!
What an outrage! And yet there are many indolent contemporaries, who, intellectually lazy, lethargic and without conscience as they have become after thousands of years of indoctrination, “swallow” such statements from the Church and readily confirm them with a servile nod of the head.
Consequently, the destruction of nature is also “just.”
Jesus, the Christ, did not speak of a “just war.” He taught us to love our enemies and to do good to those who hate us. He taught us the mighty power behind building bridges of love for God and neighbor, and never spoke of war. Every war – whether against human beings, animals or nature – bears the stench of death. In the commandments it says: You shall not kill! This commandment is all-encompassing. It is spoken out of unity and for the unity in the temporal. It holds true for human beings, animals, and for all of Mother Earth.
Whoever condones a “just war,” like, for example, the Church authorities, should lead the way with a good example – as generals who fight on the front lines, in order to teach the soldiers how to carry out “just” killing. How would a Catholic general act when suddenly the enemy stood before him and took away his, the general’s, weapon, pointing it at him with the following question: “Shall I now kill you or murder you with your own weapon? How would you prefer it? Your religion allows killing and so I will kill you!” How does the ecclesiastic general act, who, in his teaching, is for killing? Does he say heroically: “Kill me; I allow you to do this!” Or does he take flight, because he wants to be neither murdered nor killed?

The caste of priests, the state and the farmers follow the Fall-thought, to kill and have killed everything that does not fit into their concept

One can truly come to recognize that every disaster originates with the caste of priests. They have it in their power to either curb state authority or let it have free rein – depending on whether it benefits the church institution or not. What it did was to bring things so far that it can influence the state in any way it wants. This is how the caste of priests took the state in tow and exerted its influence on its subjects, the church faithful, accordingly.
For example, the perniciousness of the church calls on us to consider animals as soulless creatures, with no rights, subject to the brutality of the church faithful. This means the church faithful may kill them or keep them in animal ghettos for a long time, until they are ready for slaughter, so that they can then be consumed by the church faithful, those obedient to a corpse.
The hierarchical thinking that comes from the caste of priests always contains, to the very end, death as the very last station, the end point. What lies behind this is clearly obvious: It is the Fall-thought, which has as its goal the dissolution of every form of life and making this transformed energy – since no energy is lost – into a new kind of creation energy. The model used to dissolve everything that the Eternal One created is hierarchically arranged in stages, and always leads to death.

The Fall-thought, the satanic will of the Fall, is the pernicious spirit that blew at all times in the spheres of influence, power and control of the respective pharisees and scribes. Jesus of Nazareth directed explicit, clear and unambiguous words to the priesthood of His time, which can be read, still truthful and apparently “unvarnished,” in present day Bibles, in the 23rd chapter of Matthew. Among other things, Jesus said:
“Woe to you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like white-washed tombs, which on the outside look beautiful, but inside they are full of the bones of the dead and all kinds of filth. So on the outside you also look righteous to others, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Woe to you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous, and you say: ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophet.’ Thus you testify against yourselves that you are descendants of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of your ancestors. You snakes, you brood of vipers. How can you escape being sentenced to hell?”
In this way, the church institutions deliver to us, via their Holy Scripture, the Bible –“the true word of God,” the books “which firmly, faithfully and without error teach the truth,” which “has God as its author,” at least that is what their catechism says (Nos. 105 & 107) – itself proof that the Church and its functionaries kill everything, or have everything killed, that does not fit into their concept.
By the way, today they no longer kill the prophets. A small look into what happens to a prophet in our time and world can be found, dear friends, for instance, in the last 20 pages of the Gabriele Letter No. 3.

In His teachings, the Lord points out again and again that the Church is the Fall-thought, when it claims that faith alone is enough. Already as Jesus of Nazareth, He said: The one who hears these words of mine and does them is a wise man... (Mt. 7:24)
This is also passed down in the Gospel of Matthew, where He said:
“Not every one who says to me: ‘Lord! Lord!’ shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” (Mt: 7:21)

As already indicated, the highest Fall-authority of the court of the Fall is the caste of priests, who have “inhaled” the state. The second Fall-authority is the farmer’s lobby, which has the large and small farmers in tow. Many farmers are loyal adherents of the Church, who, according to church custom are absorption experts, vacuum extractors, who think only of their own advantage and “inhale” for themselves alone, everything that is offered to them for their benefit. They are the main ringleaders, where shooting down animals in forest and field is concerned, animals that could do damage to their absorption-miserliness of “everything only for me, and for me the best and the most.”
Many people, in part guileless consumers, think that farmers are active protectors of nature who stand up for flora and fauna, for forest, field and animal. Upon closer examination, one learns differently. Frequently, they are the killers of nature and animals. Without the slightest pang of conscience, farmers annually kill millions of small organisms and micro-organisms by spreading liquid and solid manure and deadly chemicals. The poison rains down onto their tiny bodies, the traditional murderous disaster. What torment the countless animals must endure until they die is all the same to the greedy ones without conscience. Killing takes place for a “good and satisfactory” price.

And the “gentleman farmers” do not stop before the trees and bushes that stand at the edge of their fields and may cast a slight shadow over them. Whether the trees and bushes are filled with sap or not – they fall victim to the farmers’ miserliness. After all, the short shadows could lessen a field’s yield.
A farmer is usually an adherent of a church. The church leaders adorned with ornamentation and fancy headdresses, who let themselves be worshipped by the people on church holidays – whereby God plays only a secondary role – are the worst role models for their worshippers. They also have trees, bushes and flowers cut down for their ritual holidays.
Another kind of farmers are the animal-ghetto keepers. Animals are kept in animal-ghettos and are raised on a cleverly devised, profit-oriented fattening feed that is not right for their species, always with the thought: The animal is a commodity that should be sold well, for the benefit of animal cannibalism. The meat consumers are then offered pieces of the carcass of a creature that had to eke out a horrible existence under the heels of the animal keeper, and that from birth on already bore the stamp of death – for the animal cannibals, who then consume the flesh of the enslaved and fattened animal.
The cruelties seem endless. The animal keepers take the young away from animal mothers who likewise are condemned to death in the animal ghettos, so that the latter can offer their milk and all products made from it to the consumers. Like their mothers, the animal young also bear the stamp of death – for the consumer, who pleasurably consumes the carcass pieces and milk products enriched with unspeakable suffering.

Another authority in this death-bringing hierarchy is the hunters’ lobby with its trained killer-marksmen, the hunters, who call themselves the protectors of nature.
All those who condone war, including the war in forest and field, are advocates of death. They have the blessing of the church institutions. Everyone and everything that is for killing were and are blessed by the churches, thus even the hunters with their bloody cries of “happy hunting.” They are absorbed by the ecclesiastic reel of death. When the huntsman’s battle cry sounds out, the hunting horn, the hunters take up war against the animals of the forests and fields.
Every hunter whom one could call a killing machine would be indignant over such a title. His argument, that animals have to be killed to counter overpopulation, comes from the same militant test-tubes used by the whole entourage of the churches to get their corresponding answers and instructions.
It is an odd argumentation when they say that the “protectors of nature” have to set population limits for the animals, which as far as anyone can judge are allowed to live in a living space that is determined by human beings. And who determines the living space of the animals and their numbers that have to live within the confines of this predetermined space? It is, of course, the hunters, for whom the caste of priests may be an example – not only because pastors, priests and high church dignitaries indulge in the pleasure of hunting, but also in regard to how the church functionaries treated those people who did not correspond to their criteria during the Middle Ages.
In addition, since the Middle Ages, the caste of priests has implanted into the consciousness of the people influenced by it the idea that animals do not have an immortal soul, but merely an instinct – whereby it is seldom that one knows exactly what instinct is. The scientific definition of “instinct” can be read in the dictionary. Whether this corresponds to the truth is hard to prove, since science more often than not has been mistaken. This is of no consequence to church appendages – it is simply accepted as the caste of priests proclaims and prescribes. And with this, every question of conscience is dismissed.

Despite this hierarchical Fall-behavior on the part of many, I hope that not everyone blows into the martial hunting horn in the belief that a defensive war against human beings and a war against animals, against nature, yes, against the whole Mother Earth are allowed. It is certainly allowed by the ecclesiastic Fall-authority – but not by Jesus, the Christ, the Prince of Peace, who taught love and love for neighbor and also love for animals, because the animals are the little brothers and sisters of human beings.

The Eternal’s harmonious order in His creation – as long as the human being does not interfere

War against the animals. Is this war offensive or defensive? How does the caste of priests categorize this war? Or are they of the opinion that the animals debased by them into creatures without souls can simply be killed without a problem? Apparently another justification for the murder of animals is the fact that they don’t wear pants, because in the Lutheran Catechism (Lutheran Catechism for Adults, 5th Edition, 1989), we find: “On the animal we see especially the profanity, the taboo-free lack of inhibition toward procreation, birth and death as most inhuman and foreign to our nature. For the history of mankind first begins with feelings of shame and funeral rituals. No animal covers it genitals, no animal honors and buries its dead.”
Despite everything that the churches have attributed to the animals, they have a finer way of living than many a human being. They breed only two, or at the most three, times a year. Their sexual life does not consist of a sexual drive that urges one into an exaggerated sexuality, which expresses itself in excesses. Animals also do not belong to the “genus” of pedophiles.

Let us become aware of the fact that every day human beings take a great deal of land away from the animals. They are pushed back more and more, their habitat becomes ever smaller and their nature ghetto ever more confined. Everyday, human beings fight against Mother Earth, which is the home of animals and plants and not, last of all, the home of human beings, as well.
How does a person act with regards to Mother Earth? He, the adherent of the Fall-thought, the fellow who brings death, in, on and above the Earth, wages war against the creatures of God that live in unity with Mother Earth. With belligerent and egotistical elan, with rifle and the hunt chase, he drives the animals of the forests and fields out of their ancestral and native habitats and into a nature ghetto. When he thinks that too many animals are living in this nature ghetto, he shoots them down in order to deal with “overpopulation.”
The hunter considers himself the “God” of the forest. He determines the number of animals in forest and field. He, who rages in the animal ghetto and from whose nostrils exudes the odor of death, has become a furtive death machine.
Animals, who are much more intelligent than many a person, smell this breath pregnant with death and take flight. Then the bullet shoots out of the rifle’s muzzle, turning the animal into a carcass. The hunter consumes many a piece of the carcass and by doing so, is permeated with the odor of death.

War against human beings, war against the animal world, war against the plant world, war against the whole Mother Earth – this is the Fall-thought, to extinguish all the life that has taken on form. People defend themselves; animals do not defend themselves. They have no death-bringing weapons; they are always the loser. The cowardly hunter counts on this as he furtively shoots down from ambush the creatures of God. Many animals do not even attack; they take flight. Their fear and need is ignored. They are encircled by hunters and hunted down. Within the ring of hunters, they are then bagged by the heroes of the hunt. Following this, the church holds a St. Hubert (the patron saint of hunters) mass in honor of the hunt and blesses the faithful hierarchical-thinkers, whose consciousness is no larger than the muzzle of the rifle, through which they bring terrible pain, suffering and death to the defenseless creatures.
What does the Church call this war? Perhaps a defensive war? Or is it a war with expectations of profit, because the dead animal, its carcass, brings profit to those who sell it.

God, the Creator of life, is the unity and the measure of all things. In nature and in the animal kingdom, there is unity, balance and the all-encompassing order of God. It regulates fertility in the animal world and the fruits of the plant world. The elements and the seasons could give people information about the order of the Eternal One.
The four elementary forces work for Mother Earth. Because God is the life in everything, He is also with Mother Earth and all forms of life. Via the elementary forces – sun, light and warmth; water and rain; the soil with the teeming life in it; the air and the wind – the mighty Spirit brings everything to bloom in spring, the fruit to ripen in summer and in late summer the harvest begins. In autumn the life in nature gradually goes to rest, so that – when this part of the Earth again turns to the element sun, that is, to fire – it blossom anew in the spring. winter is a time of rest and at the same time, a preparation for the new life in spring. It is a harmonious sequence of events in nature, a cycle of life, of which growth and evolution are at the same time an intrinsic part.
Within this framework – spring, summer, autumn and winter – the great Spirit also takes care of the animal kingdom. In late summer, we see already that the fur coat of the animals becomes stronger; it grows and thickens. God, the eternal life, also equips the animals for the cold season in another way. Many animals gather the fruits of summer, in order to survive winter. They sense that a time of rest is now starting for them. In autumn, life stirs in various species of animals. The act of procreation in autumn brings forth life, their young, that is, animal babies, in the spring. When human beings do not harvest the last bit of grain from the fields and leave enough living space for the animals, they have enough food for the whole year. God sees to this.
In spring, the order of God starts in again, for example, the thick fur coat is gradually shed, and a summer coat develops. Let us think of the animals of the air, the animals in the waters, in and on the Earth, in the forests – everywhere, the order of God is found, as long as human beings do not interfere.

Often we hear: “Nature will take care of it!” This is correct. The forces of life in the nature of our Earth are connected to the great cosmic pulse-beat of the Being, which maintains, vivifies and causes all things to grow and ripen together in harmony. These are the forces of the eternal Creator-Spirit, which bring forth all forms of life and fill the great unity with life, which corresponds to His Order, His Will, His Wisdom, His Harmony. Should there be only one thing that the almighty and omnipresent All-Spirit, God, cannot achieve or cannot manage – like regulating the animal population?
Let us not forget: God gave Mother Earth not only to human beings, but also to the animals, the plants; everything that the Earth bears should live together in unity and peace. That is the law of God. However, man not only drives animals into confinement and kills them – he even places himself above God, by believing he must establish a balance in nature, that is, take over regulating the animal population.
Presumptuous and arrogant is the person who does not hesitate to intervene in God’s finely balanced Creation and who even brazenly acts the Creator. It is an outrageous game with the energy of life, which comes solely from God, an intervention in His harmonious order, which man could never conceive of or create.
Man, the savage on God’s Earth, is responsible for the unsustainable conditions on our planet, which are presently escalating and heading toward a disastrous and global point of tipping the scales.
The cause for this calamitous development lies in the Fall-thought, in the “I want – for me!,” in egoism, in mankind’s turning away from unity and in the ruthlessness that stems from being “against one’s neighbor” and “against our second neighbors.”
The law of God is giving love, absolute constructive power. And so, life is giving. Giving makes one free. Giving leads to inner wealth, to fullness; for the one who gives from his heart will also receive.
Unfortunately, human beings – true to the Fall-thought – are oriented toward taking. Taking, a person’s wanting to have for himself alone, is destructive and ultimately results in poverty.
“Modern” agriculture hardly leaves a single grain for the animal world. The farmers’ machines can be compared to gigantic sweepers. When harvest time comes, these machines suck up every ear, every little kernel of grain from the field. The farmer practically begrudges the animals the last grain. When the animals take from a field what they are entitled to – because God cares for everyone and everything – then the call goes out for the animal-killer, the hunter, who should shoot them down. The hunters fulfill the farmer’s wish, on the one hand, because of the “damage” which an animal – as the farmer believes – does to his field, because it takes what it needs in order to somehow survive winter; and on the other hand, because many a hunter has a lust to kill. Besides, an animal that has been shot is a gain for the hunter as well as for the butcher who buys it. The Judas-money flows into the “hunting penny,” which the hunter has to pay to the landowner for his hunting lease, and the butcher makes his profit on the slaughtered animal, whose body he cuts up and whose meat he sells to the consumer, who consumes the broiled or roasted and seasoned meat with great relish. For an innocent animal, which is hunted, chased, murdered and disemboweled, the inedible parts thrown away, the edible parts sawed up and prepared for the consumer, which the animal-cannibal then consumes, this is a path of unspeakable suffering.
Each day, human beings steal unimaginably large tracts, many hectares of living space, from the animals. God has taken care of the whole Earth. He is the scale in everything. Because human beings take living space away from the animals, God will not reduce the population of animals. They belong to the balance of unity, which is always in balance. When people reduce the animal’s living space, then the same number of animals have to live there, forced into greater population density. Then we hear: Overpopulation! And so, people then intervene and kill.
Recently we heard on the German radio station, B5 Aktuell: “Nature protectors are talking about how land is being eaten up by spreading industrial areas, traffic projects and the construction of ever larger homes.” And: “Every minute 200 square meters are built upon in Bavaria.”
Here, animal protectors are giving proof of the land theft that is forcing animals into nature ghettos. The hunter’s excuse then is: “We have too many animals; we have to act against overpopulation. One has to practice conservation at certain times”– which means nothing more than to take the life from some of the animals.
It is human beings who artificially breed animals in the barns of factory farming, so that the consumer – again, human beings – has meat, meat, meat. Human beings are the ones who cut down the forests, poison the fields and kill the tiny living beings and micro-organisms. The human being is the author of all evil, under which he himself at some point will come to ruin. The warring Fall-fellow, the human being, is the one who disturbs and destroys everything, who brings unspeakable suffering upon himself, but also upon innocent creatures, the animals.
Human beings slander and discriminate against their fellow men. Human beings lie. Human beings subjugate and cheat their fellow man. Human beings torture and murder the animals. Human beings, animal-cannibals, consume their little brothers and sisters, the animals. Human beings interfere in forests and fields, cut down trees when they are in full sap and spread poisons on the fields, on the heads of the tiny living beings and micro-organisms. In war he goes against his brothers and sisters, practicing fratricide and claiming he is the crown of creation.
Many of these wrongdoers, who think they are the crown of creation, call themselves Christian. The so-called Christians are usually church-Christians. Through this, they are part of the clan of the Fall, which thinks solely of destroying everything that the order of God consists of. The human being, egotistical executive assistant to those who conduct the Fall, intervenes in everything, in order to bring it all to ruin and decline. His role models are the church institutions, which for 2000 years have been up to their tricks, always focused on discriminating against everything, spreading lies, eliminating and destroying everything that is not part of their sphere of interest.

The “Christian” churches have brought
only suffering, need and death to human beings,
nature and the animals

Many a reader may ask: Are the churches really those certain accomplices, the calamitous power, which is to blame for everything, including the suffering of animals?
For as long as they have existed, the churches, which consider themselves to be a Christian authority, have brought only suffering, need and death to mankind, nature and the animals. We only need to think of the Crusades, of the Middle Ages, of the burning of so-called witches; we only need to think of slavery and the last massacre of Orthodox Serbians by Catholic Croatians in Yugoslavia between 1941 and 1943.

The church institutions also condone so-called defensive wars and war on the animals, the murder of animals. They have betrayed the teachings of Jesus by doing the opposite of what Jesus taught. They mixed the clear teachings of the Nazarene with pagan rituals. In the teletext of a German public television company, ARD, the following could be read under the heading From All Over the World:
“In Haiti Voodoo is recognized as a religion. About 200 years after Haiti became independent, Voodoo was recognized as an official religion. President Jean Bertrant Aristide issued a corresponding decree. Voodoo was to be made equal by law to the Christian denomination. Three fourths of Haiti’s eight million inhabitants are considered adherents of the Voodoo cult. It is a polytheistic religion, which the ancestors of present-day inhabitants, abducted as slaves from Africa, brought with them in the 18th century and mixed with Christian elements.”
The teachings of Jesus have truly nothing at all to do with the “Christian elements” in Voodoo! They are elements from the church institutions that mixed and blended their pagan cult rituals with the teachings of Jesus, the Christ. The Brockhaus Encyclopedia gives the following information: “In Voodoo, elements of the religions brought by the black slaves from West Africa since the 16th century are melded with Catholicism ... Worshipped are ... divine beings from African conception, which were transferred in part to Catholic saints as their character traits.”
The whole combination of rituals is then partially carried out under the name of “Christian.” Such and similar statements as those that say that the Voodoo religion contains Christian elements show how the teachings of Jesus, the Christ, have been twisted.
That the churches are perpetrators of the misery, the suffering and the killing of animals was also determined at the beginning of the 1990s by theology professor Dr. Erich Gräßer, former professor of New Testament theology at the University of Bonn and presently a member of the theology faculty at the University of Greifswald. In a lecture, he refers to a statement made by the former President of the German Animal Protection Society, Dr. Andreas Grasmüller, in which he said that animal protection is no ground for joy, but rather reason to feel ashamed that we need it at all. This shame, according to the theologian, is not shared by the Christian churches. “What about church and animal protection? When the history of our church is written one day, the topic of ‘church and animal protection’ during the 20th century will present just as black a chapter as the topic of ‘church and the burning of witches’ once did in the Middle Ages. And just as the churches failed in the 19th century regarding social questions and drove the workers out of the churches, so do they fail today regarding the protection of animals and nature and drive animal protectors out of the churches. For the churches do not consider themselves responsible for animal protection.
Professor Gräßer then goes into the history of this church contempt for animals: “Where does this forgetting of animals in the churches come from? Well, it is based on the fact that ethics, theological as well as philosophical, thinks it has to concern itself only with the behavior of people toward people and toward society.” Professor Gräßer cites Albert Schweitzer, who once said that Europeans thinkers are like persnickety housewives who “watch that no animals run around in their ethics.” Gräßer added to this: “What it brings out in the way of foolishness, in order to uphold traditional pettiness and make it into a principle, borders on the incredulous. Either it leaves out compassion for animals entirely, or sees to it that it shrivels up into a meaningless residue. What we are experiencing today is a precisely calculated, cleverly developed and terrible, infernal game that degrades into animal machines the animals meant for slaughter in factory farming. The excess of eggs, meat and butter that western prosperous societies produce in this way is paid by the torture of animals that is unworthy of human beings. In contrast to this atrocity that is practiced everywhere without punishment, Albert Schweitzer’s ethics of reverence before life reads like a message from another planet. And a church that remains silent in the face of all this is thus declaring the bankruptcy of its sermon of mercy!” (Source: Work Group Against Vivisection, Interlaken, Switzerland)
Clear words by an independently thinking Christian, who understood what Jesus, the Christ, wanted, what He taught and what responsibility every true Christian faces!
Furthermore, Prof. Gräßer poses other critical questions, which also give every contemporary as well as many a church Christian impetus to think on their own or could even let them see the light. For example:
“What do we know of the historical Jesus? What kind of sources do we have? ... Should we pay no attention to history but merely to testimonials of belief? Will the believer even turn into the non-believer when he depends on historical knowledge? Moreover: Is the historical Jesus the measure of all things, or with His pronouncements does he merely belong to the prerequisites of theology of the New Testament?”
The results of the historical-critical research regarding the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth are not known to me. But there is a work, in which He, Christ, who walked over this Earth as Jesus, reports about this Himself in great detail. It is called “This Is My Word. Alpha and Omega. The Gospel of Jesus. The Christ-Revelation which meanwhile has become known to true Christians the world over.”
Gräßer also tosses out the interesting question:
“What is valid: Jesus and Paul, or Jesus or Paul?”

Back to the topic of animal protection in statements made by representatives of the churches. It has meanwhile begun to dawn on some of them that the contempt of animals introduced by their institution crassly contradicts the commandments of God. An example of this is the Protestant-Lutheran church councilor Helmut Breit, who in a program of the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation entitled On a Word, pointed out the sad fate of the animals, as takes place daily many times on our roads:
“The car’s headlights hardly pick it up. In the middle of the road lies a small hedgehog* that has been run over. Flattened by countless tires, one can no longer recognize its cute shape. I am reminded of the story of the hare and the hedgehog, in which the hedgehog, being the cleverer one, tricks the hare and in the end is the victor. But he has no chance against human beings.
* He is referring to a very small and cute European animal which has quills like American hedgehogs or porcupines, but is nowhere near as large. We know the story referred to as the “Tortoise and the Hare.”

What in nature can stand up to human beings at all? ‘Did it die immediately?’ I ask myself. Did it, the hedgehog, know what hit it? Does it have a family, perhaps children? Do they even notice that a parent is missing? You might say strange questions. A hedgehog! How many people are dying in traffic accidents all the time?
Is a human being worth more than a hedgehog? Of course, in self-estimation everyone will affirm this. But that is our mistake, our mistaken way of thinking. Life is always equal in value. Christians should know this. God is my Creator and he was the Creator of this dead hedgehog. Reverence before life, as Albert Schweitzer once said. He was right. Reverence before life. In the Bible, it says that nature sighs under mankind and longingly awaits redemption, including this hedgehog.” (from Igel Bulletin (Hedgehog Bulletin), No. 9, May 1993)

The thoughtlessness with which man interferes in the life of his fellow man and his fellow creatures, the animals, is truly amazing. Impassively, he uses his neighbors and his second neighbors for his own purposes. According to what is needed, he takes pieces of their bodies, for example, to artificially prolong the existence on this Earth of a human being who is approaching his end – paying no attention to whether this was foreseen for his life plan and whether the patient can meaningfully and gainfully make use of his additional years on Earth at all, when considering it in view of his eternal life.
At this time, complaints are being made that more and more pathogens, viruses that trigger severe epidemics in mankind, have been transferred to people from certain kinds of animals – a development that leaves medicine and science helpless and worried. But let us remember: Who was it then, who began to override the natural barriers between the organisms of humans and animals, for example, through organ transplants?
The churches condone organ transplants. How much this approval violates the laws of God is meanwhile beginning to occur to many a theologian. And so, Doctor of Theology Erhard Meier, lecturer for religious science at the Universities of Hildesheim and Kiel and instructor at Catholic and Protestant-Lutheran academies and adult education centers, who has intensely explored the ethics of animal protection, determined in a lecture:
“The Vatican (Academy for Life) has no fundamental reservations against the transplantation of organs from animals to human beings.” In the following position taken by Meiers, it says: “I reject as unconscionable the transplantation of an organ, (for example, a heart), from a dead pig to a sick human being. Human beings may not encroach upon the life of other fellow creatures in a blinded pose of power, just simply because animals are defenseless. This is forbidden by the Holy Scriptures, which also call for the protection of the respectively weak and weakest.
The fundamental spiritual feature of the Bible can be seen in the event of Christ: birth, life, works, death, resurrection, ascension and return as the Son of God, Jesus, the Christ, that is, as the Messiah, the return of the Lamb of God, that we will worship. Here, an encompassing story of salvation is revealed by God to us, which holds true for the salvation of all creatures. In Romans 8:18ff, as well as in the Apocalypse, is plainly expressed what the fundamental spiritual feature of this revelation is, namely, the observation of the mysteries of life in and of themselves – and the turn of this condition of need, so that living creatures bow to one another in loving conviction.
As a human being, I have no right to claim the organ of an animal (or of another human being) for myself, since every single creature bears the mystery of life, in which we all have an EQUAL share. Particularly in view of the endless far-reaching and dark transgressions of human beings (terrorism, etc.), it is now time to look within and to become clear as to WHO WE HUMAN BEINGS ARE: with a dignity that we do not have of ourselves, but by the grace of God alone ...”
The résumé of the religion scientist: “I plead for reflection, analysis, meditation, asceticism, prayer, vegetarianism ...”
Meier’s closing words are worth thinking about: “True quality of life and joy bring our eyes to the already present beauties of the creation of God.”

“Animals have infectious diseases –
who infected them?”

Unfortunately, human beings have become the enemy of animals. He chases and hunts them, keeps them in animal ghettos and transmits pathogens to them, making them sick.
In Feb. 1997, many thought he had heard wrong when God, the Creator, spoke in His revelation as the plaintiff for the suffering animal world: “Many of you say that animals have infectious diseases. Who infected them – God or human beings? You absorb this information and experience the infectious diseases on your physical bodies. Who is to blame? God? Or yourselves?”
(The All-Spirit, GOD, speaks directly into our time through His prophetess. He does not speak the word of the Bible)
Today, after the Mad Cow Disease disaster, SARS and most recently in view of the bird flu, everyone knows what was meant. The commentators in the media feel obliged not to tone down these events with harmless presentations. On the contrary: The writing on the wall is too clear to be simply wiped away.
When we think of what we have imposed on the animals over thousands of years, centuries and particularly during the past decades, it is not surprising that we human beings are getting back what we have done to the animals and still do today.
Hundreds and thousands of animals are kept in animal ghettos, where they are mere mass commodities, where pheromones are used to induce fertilization, in order to bring the produced “commodity,” the animal, to the consumer who virtually fattens himself on the flesh of those enslaved with no rights. The excrement that accumulates in such animal ghettos is spread on the fields, along with all the chemical substances contained in it, as well as other poisons in the form of pesticides, fungicides and all other illness-causing chemicals that are absorbed not only by people, but also by the animals of the forests and fields. What choice do the animals have but to swallow the poison? For they live from what the fields and forests offer them. Through this, they sicken more and more. They transmit the pathogenic viruses and bacteria to people, and rightly so, for the author of everything that the animals have to bear, endure and suffer is the human being.
The beast, human being, is going under through its own bestial behavior. In the magazine Das Friedensreich, May 2003, we can read the following:

“SARS – It Jumped from Animal to Human

Once again a pathogen has effortlessly jumped across the border between species – animal and human – thus triggering a dangerous epidemic. At the time we went to press, over 120 people had died worldwide from the insidious lung infection SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), over 3000 were infected, including several in Germany – and by the time you read this, the figures will presumably be higher. In an age of globalization, epidemics spread far more quickly than in earlier times.
The pathogen was found to be a so-called corona-virus, which under the electron-microscope reminds us of a solar corona. Such viruses usually merely trigger harmless colds in people. Cats, cows, chickens or pigs, however, can become fatally ill from them. Apparently in the Chinese province of Guangdong such a virus was passed on by a person, having changed so much beforehand that it could ‘outsmart’ the human immune system. Presumably a chicken was the carrier, for the first infected people were bird-dealers and cooks. It is also feasible that the virus stemmed from an animal living in the wild, which was hunted and consumed as an ‘exotic delicacy.’
In rural China people and domestic animals live very closely together. Good hygiene is hardly followed. The water is polluted; children play next to pigs, chickens and ducks; handkerchiefs or Kleenex are unheard of. But even congested cities like Hong Kong, where people live in extremely confined spaces together with animals being raised for slaughter, have frequently become breeding grounds for new epidemics. Over and over again, dangerous influenza outbreaks have originated in this milieu and then spread round the world.

The suffering of the animals comes back to human beings

Is it merely improved hygiene that is needed? Or does this illness want to tell us something else? AIDS and Mad Cow Disease also presumably jumped from animals to human beings. Wherever people hunt and consume animals, even into the deepest parts of the jungle, and wherever they keep animals under torturous conditions in order to slaughter and consume them, they always create an auspicious milieu for pathogens. What human beings do to animals comes back to them sooner or later in the form of illness and disease.
In ‘Holland bird flu’ has meanwhile jumped from poultry to human beings. Five workers at the Dutch Ministry of Health contracted eye infections. Earlier, thousands of chickens were killed in Holland because of the epidemic. Such a pathogenic jump from animal to human in the form of a fatal epidemic is, from the point of view of the pathogen, an ‘error’ or a dead-end. For it cannot be the goal of a pathogen to quickly kill the ‘host animal,’ because then it dies along with it.
In these terms, perhaps we human beings are looking into a mirror: Haven’t we become deadly “pathogens” for the Mother Earth, mutations of horror that threaten the right to life of animals and plants? And because of this, aren’t we in danger of destroying ourselves, as well? A human who is presumptuous enough to consider himself the ‘crown of creation’ has in reality become the ‘corona virus’ (corona comes from Latin meaning ‘crown’!).”

That this disaster is advancing can be concluded from the following articles in the June 2003 issue of Das Friedensreich:

“Bird Flu. Human Beings Make Animals Sick –
and thus, Themselves

The SARS epidemic broke out in China – that is far away ... But now, very close by, there is a second epidemic center that at first glance is comparatively harmless for human beings. Bird flu broke out in Holland in March, and traveled from there to Belgium and western Germany. For ‘purely preventative’ reasons, almost 30 million (!) chickens and turkeys have been killed.
But there have already been victims among human beings as well. In Holland a 57 year-old veterinarian who had visited the contaminated barns died. Numerous workers who participated in the killing campaign came down with conjunctivitis (an eye infection). Even though human beings normally do not become seriously ill from the bird flu, experts are nevertheless troubled: When a bird-flu pathogen meets up with a ‘normal’ influenza virus in a person, a new “super virus” could develop, which could be strongly infectious as well as fatal for people. ‘None of the six billion people on Earth would have any power of resistance against this new type of pathogen,” said Klaus Stöhr of the World Health Organization.
Something similar already happened once: In 1918 the ‘Spanish Flu’ spread like wildfire – 20 to 40 million people died from it. It is also conceivable that such a ‘super virus’ could form in a domestic pig, for poultry as well as human viruses could cavort there – and possibly mix together. In some of the barns contaminated by the bird flu, antibodies against the avian disease were already found in swine.
And how did bird flu develop in Holland? It is assumed that the pathogen spread from a wild duck colony to a business in which thousands of chickens may have very well been kept in an outdoor enclosure, but nevertheless vegetating in torturously close quarters. That would be a typical human fallacy.
And so, are the wild animals to blame? It is the same with swine fever, by the way: The animals living in the wild serve only as carriers. The pathogens are ‘bred’ and multiplied in the barns of factory farming, where animals must live under unnatural conditions and without the proper food for their species. This raises their susceptibility to disease. Human beings make the animals sick – and then wonder why the illness falls back on them.
A letter to the editor in Spiegel (a renown and widely read German magazine) formulated it this way: ‘I fear that meanwhile the alternative will be to either live as a vegetarian and not even have canaries or to always be terrified of a new pandemic.’”

One more thought to the causal context of sowing and reaping, cause and effect:
As far as I know, in our country there is a basic law that says ignorance concerning the laws of the state does not protect one from punishment. And so, the one who violates existing legislation must bear the consequences. It is his fault, even when he does not know about the so-called penal law.

What about the laws of God? God has His eternal law; it is love, peace, unity and freedom; it is the perfect, eternal law, which pulsates deep in the soul of every person. Thus, every person is the bearer of eternal life, a bearer of the eternal, inviolable law. When a person violates his divine heritage, the life, the law of love, unity and freedom, he is punishing himself.

God, our eternal Father, and Christ, our Redeemer, have not left us in the dark concerning our true being. By way of Moses, God gave us excerpts from His eternal law, His Ten Commandments. From Jesus, the Christ, we received specific teachings as to how the Ten Commandments of God can be put into practice in our life on Earth, and teachings on the path to the Father-house, which has its basis in the Sermon on the Mount of Jesus. And so, we have received in our hands the requisite know-how for our life, in order to find our way back into the true life, into our true being. If we reject the requisite know-how, if we violate our true, eternal life, the inviolable law of love, peace, unity and freedom, then we will also have to bear the consequences.
We human beings have many sayings that could call our attention to the law of sowing and reaping, for instance: “As one calls into the canyon, so it echoes back.” Or: “The one who won’t listen must feel.” Spoken succinctly, this is nothing more than an indication of the lawful consequences of sowing and reaping, or cause and effect: Just as you act toward your true being, so will things go for you – in this world or as a soul in the worlds beyond or in another life as a human being.

The signs of the times speak a clear language. The Spirit of God also speaks into our time in a more than clear way through His prophetess. On Feb. 27, 2001, God, the Almighty, directed the following words, among others, to mankind:
“... Stop consuming your fellow creatures, which are your animal brothers and sisters!
Stop torturing them in animal experiments and in taking away their freedom by keeping them in barns and pens which are unworthy of animals. Animals love freedom just as you, the human beings.
Stop killing the tiniest of animals, the microscopic life of the soil, through artificial fertilizers, and excrements and the like!
Stop cutting and burning down the forests and taking the living space of animals away from them in forests and fields. Give their living space back to them, the forests, fields and meadows; otherwise, your fate, which you have inflicted upon yourselves, will take away your house and home and your sources of food, through worldwide catastrophes which you have created yourselves through your behavior against the life, against the kingdoms of nature, including the animals.
Should human beings again toss My words to the wind, the storm, the fate that is worldwide, will begin and sweep away the people by the hundreds of thousands – on the one hand through worldwide catastrophes, on the other, through illnesses which break in over them like the epidemics which, by turning their backs on every kind of spiritual ethics and morals, they have inflicted on the animals that they are presently burning by the thousands. Similar things will happen to the one who does not turn back and change his ways.
My word is spoken. The worldwide apocalypse is underway. The one who does not want to hear this will feel his created causes as effects at ever shorter intervals. I have raised the Earth with its plants, animals and minerals to Me. The one who continues to raise his hand against Mother Earth with all its forms of life will feel the effects. Stop torturing, killing and murdering!
You human beings, stop with your bestial behavior, which hits back only at you and no other being; for what you do to the least of your fellow creatures, you do to Me and to your self.
It is enough! Change your ways, otherwise the harvest, which is your seed, will go forward ...”

Almost 20 years ago, Hubert Weinzirl, former president of the Bavarian Nature Protection Association, recognized that hunting would come to an end, for he said: “Everything has its time. The time for hunting has run out.”
How right he was even then! And now the time for hunting has not only run out, but also the time for that person who does not change his basic attitude and behavior toward the animals and the nature kingdoms and, for example, continues to consume the flesh of his fellow creatures.

Admonishing voices over the millennia

There never was a lack of admonishing voices. This is why the following is a compilation of the statements of important men and women of their time, beginning with the great Old Testament prophet Isaiah, through whom God said, for example: “When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood. Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil; learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression ...” (Is. 1:15-17)
And: “He who slaughters an ox is like him who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, like one who breaks a dog’s neck ... They have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.” (Is. 66:3)
And the following words have been passed down from the prophet Hosea: “They love sacrifice; they sacrifice flesh and eat it; but the LORD does not delight in them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins.” (Hos. 8:13) What is here called “the punishment of God” is nothing more than the law of sowing and reaping, of cause and effect.
The Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, who lived in the 6th century before Christ, was also familiar with the causal law. He warned: “Everything that human beings do to the animals comes back to them. The one who cuts the throat of a cow with a knife and remains deaf to its bellows of fear, the one who is able to slaughter the screaming little goat in cold blood and eat the bird which he himself has fed – how far is such a one still from crime?”
Laotse (c. 3 – 4 centuries before Christ), a Chinese philosopher, admonished: “Be good to people, to plants and to animals! Chase neither man nor animal, nor cause them suffering.”
The great love and mercy of God came to this Earth with Jesus, the Christ. Many statements and occurrences are passed down from Him that proclaim His love for all creatures. Of course, nothing can be found about this in the Bible. Contrary to this, many examples of Jesus’ love for the animals can be found in “The Gospel of Perfect Life” and in the “Gospel of Jesus,” which since 1989 is a part of Christ’s great work of revelation “This Is My Word”:

“Jesus heals a horse

And it came to pass that the Lord departed from the city and went into the mountains with His disciples. And they came to a mountain with very steep paths. There they met a man with a beast of burden.
But the horse had collapsed, for it was overladen. The man struck it till the blood flowed. And Jesus went to him saying, ‘You son of cruelty, why do you strike your animal? Do you not see that it is much too weak for its burden and do you not know that it suffers?’
But the man retorted, ‘What have You to do therewith? I may strike my animal as much as it pleases me, for it belongs to me; and I bought it with a goodly sum of money. Ask those who are with You, for they are from my neighborhood and know thereof.’
And some of the disciples answered, saying, ‘Yes, Lord, it is as he said, we were there when he bought the horse.” And the Lord rejoined, “Do you not see then how it is bleeding, and do you not hear how it wails and laments?” But they answered saying, “No, Lord, we do not hear that it wails or laments.’
And the Lord became sad and said, ‘Woe to you; because of the dullness of your heart, you do not hear how it laments and cries to its heavenly Creator for pity; but thrice woe to the one against whom it cries and wails in its torment!’
And He went forward and touched the horse, and the animal stood up, and its wounds were healed. But He said to the man, ‘Go on your way now and henceforth strike it no more, if you, too, hope to find mercy.’”

“Woe to the Hunters!

As Jesus went with some of His disciples, He met a man who trained dogs to hunt other animals. And He said to the man, ‘Why do you do this?’ And the man answered, ‘Because I live from this. What sort of use have these animals? These animals are weak, but the dogs are strong.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘You lack wisdom and love. Behold, every creature that God has created has its meaning and purpose. And who can say what good there is in it or what use it is to you or to mankind?
And for your living, behold the fields, how they grow and are fertile, and the fruit-bearing trees and the herbs. What more do you want than what the honest work of your hands will give you? Woe to the strong who abuse their strength. Woe to the crafty who hurt the creatures of God! Woe to the hunters! For they themselves shall be hunted.’
And the man was very astonished and stopped training the dogs to hunt; and he taught them to save life, not to destroy it. And he embraced the teachings of Jesus and became His disciple.”

Jesus also spoke against eating meat:
“But I say to you: Shed no innocent blood and eat no flesh. Be upright, love mercy and do right, and your days will endure in the land for a long time.”
And He also said:
“I have come to put an end to the sacrifices and feasts of blood. If you do not cease to offer and consume the flesh and blood of animals, the wrath of God will not cease to come upon you, just as it came upon your ancestors in the wilderness, who indulged in the consumption of flesh and were filled with rottenness and consumed by pestilence.”

One of the Church Fathers, Hieronymus (331-420 AD), still knew to write:
“The eating of animal flesh was unknown until the Great Flood. But since the Great Flood, the fibers and stinking juices of animal flesh have been stuffed into our mouths ... Jesus Christ, who appeared when the time was fulfilled, again joined the end with the beginning, so that we are no longer allowed to eat animal meat.”

It was Paul who wrote in his letter to the Romans:
“We know that the whole of creation has been groaning in travail together until now. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. Because the creature itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God.” (Rom. 8:22,19,21)
Johannes Chrysostomus (354-407 AD) described how a group of Christians lived at that time:
“No streams of blood flow there; no flesh is slaughtered and cut into pieces ... – At their place one does not smell the awful fumes of a meal of meat ..., no racket and no dissolute noise are to be heard. They eat only bread, which they earn through their work. When they desire a lavish meal, their indulgence consists of fruit, and they enjoy it more than if they were at a king’s table.”

Most people just live through their days. They go to church, and perhaps listen to a sermon. However, they do not gain any clarity about themselves. This is also why they seldom ask the question: What is a human being?
In Universal Life we learn to see the truth as a whole. This means: Where do I come from and where am I going? Particularly in Universal Life we also learn to understand the inviolable law of God and the creation that is anchored in it. In the creation of God, we recognize the will of God, which is unalterable and unavoidable.
We talk about matter, about density, and many feel they are part of it, as a child of matter, so to speak. From physics we know that ultimately all things are nothing more than vibrations and impulses of an invisible energy field and that every person is vibration. The seeming solidity that we call matter is thus based on nothing other than vibration.
The divine being is of fine-material substance; human beings are of coarse-material substance. As long as we do not turn to the Spirit in us and do not acknowledge and fulfill the absolute inviolable law, human beings and the world exist in a continuous process of densification.
Eternal creation also contains the laws of nature. In the mighty law of nature, every little blade of grass, every flower, every bush, every animal as well as every mineral is a component of life. Mother Earth with all her forms of life is in the Creator, in the law of nature. Creation, including the law of nature, is the perfection of God, which is inviolable.
People think they have to interfere in the law of nature. When we look at the world, which people have made the way it is today, we have to recognize and ultimately admit that human beings are harming themselves more and more. They are suffering under their own destructive selfishness. The human being cannot change the laws of nature; they are immutable. His offense is his fate.
Many, many offenses against the law of nature by people are based on disdain for the creatures of God, the animals, of which Charles Darwin (1809-1882) said: “Like human beings, the animals feel joy, pain, happiness and unhappiness.”
The hunting and killing of animals is an especially reprehensible wrongdoing of human beings against the creation of God and against the laws of nature. Such a deed is in contradiction to the light-filled forces in the innermost part of the soul of people, forces that want to come to unfoldment during a life on Earth. A person who deliberately kills animals acts against his true being and degrades himself, that is, he forgoes his right to human dignity.
Erasmus von Rotterdam (1465-1536), humanist and author, characterized this with sharp words: “the hunting-crazed ones ..., who like nothing better than hunting animals and who think they feel an incredible enjoyment whenever they hear the obnoxious sound of the hunting horns and the baying of the hounds ... When they then taste a piece of the wild game, they think they are almost like nobles. While these people with their constant hunting and gluttony basically attain only their own decadence, they think they live like kings.”
Other people with spirit and heart not only spoke out against hunting, but also commented on those who practice their pernicious deeds on defenseless creatures. Theodor Heuss (1884-1963), the first president of the Republic of Germany said: “Hunting is merely a cowardly circumlocution for the especially cowardly murder of fellow creatures who don’t have a chance. Hunting is a variant of human mental illness.”
The following statement originated with George Bernard Shaw, the Irish playwright, who received a Nobel Prize in 1950: “When a human wants to kill a tiger, it is called sport. When a tiger wants to kill a human, it is called bestiality.” Shaw stated it simply: “Animals are my friends and I don’t eat my friends.”
Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), famous nature explorer, said the following: “Where one hunter lives, 10 shepherds, 100 farmers and a thousand gardeners could live. Cruelty to animals can exist neither with true education nor true learning. It is one of the most typical vices of a base and ignoble people.”
Richard Wagner (1813-1883), German composer, expressed himself in the following way: “If the sight of the bulls sacrificed to the gods became an abomination to us, now, in clean slaughterhouses rinsed thoroughly with water, a daily blood bath takes place unnoticed by those who at their midday meal relish eating morsels of murdered animal carcass prepared and presented beyond recognition and offered at the dinner table. It should henceforth be our sole aim to provide fertile soil for cultivating a new religion of compassion, in defiance of those who support the dogma of utilitarianism. What can we expect from a religion when we exclude compassion for the animals?”
Bertha von Suttner (1843-1914), Austrian pacifist; Nobel Peace Prize 1905:
“I am convinced that the time will come when no one will want to nourish himself with carcasses, when no one will be willing to do the work of slaughter. How many among us are there already who never would have eaten meat if they themselves had had to plunge the knife into the throat of the animal in question!?”
“From one hundred educated and sensitive people, already today ninety would never eat meat again if they, themselves, had to kill or stab to death the animal that they eat.”
“The one who cannot hear the victims screaming or see them jerking, but who, as soon as he is far enough away not to see or hear, is indifferent to the fact that it screams and jerks, has nerves indeed – but he has no heart.”

Apparently hunters are not disturbed by the torment of their fellow creatures that have been shot at and wounded or are dying a miserable death. This leads one to conclusions on the state of their nerves as well as their heart.
Here it is appropriate to include words from the French author and philosopher François Voltaire (1694-1778):
“Hunting is one of the surest means of killing people’s feelings for their fellow creatures.”
The well-known German author Luise Rinser (1911- ) analyzed:
“It is the anonymity of our animal victims that makes us deaf to their screams.”
“Today we no longer see anything of the torturous life and death of an animal raised for slaughter. It happens automatically. Now, still an animal, and in the next moment, already cut-up meat: our food. Our kind of cannibalism.”
“It will take a long time until mankind comprehends that not only are the peoples of the Earth one people, but that human beings, plants and animals together are the ‘Kingdom of God’ and that the fate of the one is also the fate of the other.”
This all makes clear on what level a person puts himself who harms animals, kills animals or abets this iniquity by eating meat or through his silence.
And so, Joseph von Görres (1776-1848), German author of the Romantic Era, said totally fittingly:
“The one who wants to go beyond normal life shuns bloody food and does not choose death for his dining master.”
The following words are attributed to the Greek physician Empedocles, who lived during the third century before Christ:
“It is the greatest defilement to tear out life and to devour noble limbs.”
Carl Anders Skriver (1903-1983), philosopher and author, spoke of the ethics of nourishment: This “is targeted at the purity of the hands from bloody deeds, the purity under the skin and the purity of the heart. But one cannot speak of the purity of the heart with an unclean eater of all, who gives no thought to, and has no pangs of conscience about, the cruel crimes against the animal world, which take place daily in the Christian world merely for the sake of food for people.”
How essential one’s relationship to the animal world is for building one’s character, for clarity and the ability to make critical judgments can be concluded from the following words of Theodor Heuss:
“The sooner our youth learn on their own to view every brutality against animals as reprehensible, the more they will take care that torment does not develop from play and contact with animals, and the clearer their ability will be later to distinguish between right and wrong in the world of the prominent.”

The Fall-thought – gigantic in its consequences.
Christ brought the turning point

Much has already been said in this Gabriele Letter about the Fall, especially the Fall-thought. And the question is: How could it come to the Fall-thought?
The Fall-thought, which unfortunately was gigantic in its consequences and still is, can be explained here only generally and in few words, considering its broadness and complexity. The Fall against God started from the very center of the Kingdom of God, from the Sanctum. This resulted in the separation of a part of the creation from God, from the divine unity and His Order. This split will not last eternally – through His Deed of Redemption, Christ set an end to this disastrous development. The turning point, the leading back of all fallen ones, has thus begun. The turn of time, in which the Earth and mankind now find themselves, lets it become more and more clear as to where things are leading: into the era of light, the era of the Spirit – into the era of Christ.
In our time, the light of the heavens has already come onto the Earth in the word of truth, the prophetic word. And so, God, the eternal Spirit, reaches out His hand to each person. The one who truly takes it opens up the Kingdom of God in his inner being. The Earth is in the process of cleansing itself from everything that is against God. After this process, the Kingdom of Peace of Jesus Christ will spread over the whole world. Christ, the Prince of Peace, will be the ruler.

The Fall cannot be comprehended with the mind or even with the intellect.
Ultimately, one can feel what happened only with the heart as well as what effects these causes had, and have. The analytical thinker with mind and heart will quickly recognize what decisive significance is granted to absolute free will, which God gave to the fully matured beings of the heavens, the spirit beings, and which the shadowed being, man, also possesses. This fact is the basis for being able to somewhat understand the extent of the Fall.

The Fall began with a divine being that wanted to be like God: all-radiating, creative light. The craving, the claim, wanting to be like God, continues right up until the present time: “I want things as I want them – not as God wants.”
A devious characteristic of will, of wanting to be like God, a “thought,” as we say, which directed itself against God, the Creator of all pure beings and forms of life, thus triggered a development of gigantic cosmic scope – the Fall, which became the source of suffering for many souls and human beings.
God is and remains the all-permeating eternal light, the eternal law of love, unity and freedom. The egotistical thought, the Fall-thought – “I want things as I want them!” – is the shadow. As we know, little or nothing can flourish in shadow; we need light. Without light, there is no growth and no ripeness. And so is it with us humans, too. The one who stays in the shadow, the one who goes against the will of God, who disdains His commandments, creates his own source of suffering, illness, sorrow, need and infirmity. The one who evolves away from it experiences the light, the warmth, the joy of growing, flourishing and ripening in the Spirit of God.

Once again: God is all-flowing law, absolute, all-flowing light of love and love for neighbor, unity, freedom and wisdom. The divine beings, who emerged from God’s All-law and live in it, are beings of All-love, of All-love-for-neighbor, of unity, wisdom and freedom. They are divine beings, but they are not God, Himself.
God, the eternal All-One, is the Creator of the divine beings, also called spirit beings. God is the Creator of the pure planets and worlds. He is the Creator of all animals, plants and minerals in the pure Being. And so, God is the Creator of all pure forms and the Creator of the perfect universe.
Through the negative thought of wanting to be like God, one pure being became a Fall-being and with its Fall-thought, which is the same as Fall-will, could no longer stay in the Absoluteness, in the pure Being, in the pure creation. Through the negativity this being built up against God’s work, His creation, it slid further and further away from eternity and fell. During the course of its fall – the ecclesiastic story of creation talks about being “driven from paradise” – the Fall-being, which we can call Satana, with its idea of wanting to be like God, infected some other divine beings, which then, like Satana, rebelled against God and His creation. They and those of like mind were then led out of eternity, out of “paradise,” by the bearer of divine Will, whom we human beings call Michael.
The Eternal One, whose law is love, love for neighbor, unity and freedom, gave the Fall-beings, His children, parts of spiritual suns and planets to take with them on their way. As all spiritual planets, these part-planets bore minerals, plants and animals, because these belong to the unity, to life. Outside of the pure Being, the Kingdom of God, where the mighty Spirit had not yet brought His creation-thought to completion, the part-planets found their place. They became the dwelling places of the Fall-beings.

Through the striving of the Fall-beings, that was consciously and constantly directed against the law of God, the love and unity, the Fall-thought continued to build and expand in these regions. This turning away from the Kingdom of God, the spiral of will, of wanting to be like God, led to a progressive densification of the suns and planets. The individual phases of densification were always preceded by unimaginable eruptions. Science talks about the “Big Bang,” which ultimately is nothing more than a new formation for the Fall. During the course of this development, the Fall-beings likewise became dense and shadowed, darkened, so to speak, in character as well as in form.
In unimaginable, gigantic processes of transformation – man speaks of “epochs” – matter became crystallized and thus, the dwelling planet, Earth, on which, according to its densification, human beings became crystallized; these are no more than shells that have taken on form, and in which the more or less burdened Fall-being, that is called “soul” as a result of the shadowing and peripheral densification, is active. Seen as a whole, the embodied soul, “the soul surrounded by a body,” so to speak, is “a human being.”
Because God is unity, the unity of human being, soul, minerals, nature and animals also exists in what was split off, in matter.
The Fall-beings strove, and in part still strive today, to dissolve the divine creation. Wars that are nothing more than fratricide, wars against the animals with the torturing, killing and murdering of animals, the behavior against nature, against all of Mother Earth, the planet, all are a monstrous product of the Fall: the Fall-thought of dissolving all forms and taking their spiritual substance back into the ether stream as flowing energy, which, as a whole, is God, the streaming law.

On Golgotha, through His “It is finished,” Jesus, the Christ, eliminated every possibility of dissolution. Through the power of the deed of the “It is finished,” Jesus, the Christ, became the Redeemer of all men and souls and the liberator of the animal world from slavery, torture and murder. No form of life can be dissolved thanks to the power of redemption. The effect of this is that all energies transformed down into negativity will be led back into pure, highly vibrating divine energy, that is, they will be transformed. Jesus, the Christ, is thus the way to the Father-house.
Because of the law of sowing and reaping, of which free will is a part, but also the responsibility for base actions, human beings can act against other human beings, animals, plants or the dwelling planet, Earth. The divine, the Spirit in everything, however, cannot be dissolved; it is protected by the power of redemption. According to the immutable law of unity, everything will be led back to unity again. This does not take place by fighting against God, nor through wars and destruction, but through the recognition that God is the love, the love for neighbor, that God is wisdom, unity and freedom.
Within himself, in his soul, every person bears the absoluteness, the eternal law. The eternal law is unity. This is why it is said: No freedom without love, and no love without freedom. Consequently, freedom is a part of the eternal law, which means that every spirit being is absolutely free and thus, every human being as well. Each person can decide freely for himself: for the law of God, which in every person and in every soul is the divine heritage, the divine being – or against God, in that the person applies the all-too-human, accumulated, created, as it were, brutal law, the law of cause and effect. It is the Fall-law; it is based on the separation from unity and intrinsic to it is its leading of the individual back step by step into the unity – by way of experiencing the effects and the self-recognition that grows from this – with the help of the power of the Redeemer, Christ.
I repeat: Freedom transfers to a person the responsibility for his actions, as well as for his failure to do good.

The Fall-thought means separation from unity: I want only for myself! Every person is his own judge

Many people live in the Fall-thought of separation. People are against people. People are against animals. People are against nature and their dwelling planet Earth. This is the opposite of unity; it is separation. What develops from this is greed, wanting to possess, brutality and hunger for power. The human being wants to be God, ruler of creation, which he sees from the perspective of separation, from his externalization.
Most people think only of themselves, limited by the horizon of their own little world. If a so-called strutting ego gets its hands on the rudder of the world, it will subjugate anybody and everything that serves its purpose, its Fall-will. At all times and still today, what develops from this are the great wars against other nations, that is, against people. On a small scale, what emerged and still emerges are the wars in the family and at work, speaking generally, in the economy and in society. What is against others always comes from the Fall.
Human beings have not only bent the divine law but reversed it, turning it in the other direction. God says: “For or against Me.” A human being in the Fall-thought uses the divine law for himself and overtrumps it: “Whoever isn’t with me is against me.” The all-encompassing I AM was turned into “I am,” which means that I myself am my own best friend. Egoism developed out of this turning away from the all-encompassing I AM and toward the base “I myself am my own best friend.”
The one who thinks solely of himself becomes aggressive and egotistical if he doesn’t achieve his personal goal – “I want for myself.” The consequences are devastating. When the tension, the aggression, has reached its peak, then such people always reach for those means that are available to them just at that moment, in order to either reduce their aggression or to let it take its free course. The one resorts to alcohol, another to drugs; others quarrel with their fellow man, even if this takes place in the legal courts of this world. Others vent their emotions through sexuality, and still others become sexual criminals or even pedophiles. Anyone who sits in a position of power foments war and does not shy away from fratricide. Still others, in turn, become hunters in order to let their aggressions, their egoism, out on innocent creatures, the animals. For many of them, their weapon is their security and a murderous sport, where, for example, they kill off the animals in an underhanded way. In any case, however a person wants to describe the egotistical discharge of energy – it is always against one’s neighbor and against the life.
As already mentioned, aggressions have many, many ramifications; but the roots are always the Fall-thought, always against God, against His unity, against people, against nature and animals, whereby the Fall-person always seeks out weaker creatures in order to let off steam on them. This egotistical discharge not seldom takes place in a cruel way.

The egoist, his Fall-thought, or Fall-will, is very inventive, when his intention is to put himself in the right light. If he occupies an influential position, then he will insist that those responsible in state offices, who create and enact the worldly laws, correspond to his own models of thought and desire.
Many worldly laws are based more or less on the all-too-human basic thought “separate, bind and rule.” Whoever is engaged in achieving a position of power will blow on the horn of “separate, bind and rule.” In its broadest sense, the horn will then turn into a hunting horn against all those who do not want an administration of law but of justice. The “hunting horn” will then not only be blown when the call sounds out for war, for fratricide, but also for ambushing and killing innocent creatures, our fellow brothers and sisters, the animals.

The human will that stems from the Fall offers many reasons, which it transmits to the person cleverly packaged, qualified and greased with many arguments, to put through what its underhanded passion demands. In this way, a society marked by the Fall-law will offer many aggressors the possibility to work off their aggressions either in a big way through war, where whole nations are slaughtered, or in a small way by slaughtering animals in the woods, on the fields, in the slaughterhouses, to where the candidates for death, the animals, are brought from the animal ghettos, and much more.
Every theatre of war has its battlefields, whether on a large or small scale. From the many Fall-laws available, everyone, particularly the aggressive part of a person, can “defecate” his worst, so that justice from the side of the Fall-law is often administered for him, above all when, according to his viewpoint, it concerns “inferiors” who do not base themselves on church institutions and do not claim to belong to a religion that is equated with the Christian churches, as, for example, the voodoo religion. So whoever doesn’t go along with the magic will have a “spell cast on him,” which means that he is demeaned and disadvantaged in this world by the Fall-law. This holds true for people, animals, nature, for all of Mother Earth.
Enough of plausible explanations and interpretations. I am not a person who reaches back to generalized and alleged recognitions and experiences from years or decades back, since I know that these occurrences and signs of the times develop on the one hand from self-interest and on the other hand, are based on the law of dividing.
When I now dip into spiritual reality in relation to the animal world – to those without rights that are treated as objects by the state as well as by the churches – the hunters, for example, will not accept my arguments, since, as already mentioned, many hunters get rid of their aggressions by hunting and killing animals. In my consideration, to deliberately set out to kill animals is killing for the fun of it. Since within the Fall-law it is permitted to slaughter defenseless creatures in an underhanded way, every possible scruple is cleared away. The killing instruments that are used to bring down the animals are so sophisticated and highly developed that no animal has a chance to defend itself from the danger, for example, by counter-attacking or by fleeing to safety. In this way, animals can be liquidated without great risk to the hunters.
The hunter plays the role of “lord and god” in the forest. However, he can only shoot down animals, but never take the life from them, since this is God-given, a spiritual reality that eternally prevails. On the other hand, the hunter also cannot give animals life. Sven Hedin, the famous Swedish explorer of Asia, realized this. He said, “I have never been able to bring myself to extinguish a light of life; I lack the power to ignite it anew.”
The human being can actually merely kill animals, but cannot, for example, make it rain so that nature and animals have water. He also can’t make the sun shine so that nature grows and flourishes. He cannot determine the manifold variety of species – at most, he can exterminate them. He cannot make food grow for people and animals; he can only destroy it. He cannot influence the fur garment of animals for winter or summer; he can only skin it off their bodies.
Where human beings interfere in nature, we find destruction, chaos and decline.

We see, hear and experience the cruel works of the human beast that not only keeps animals in the fattening barns, in “animal ghettos,” but also stimulates them over and over again to conceive outside of their normal cycle of procreation through artificial substances, in order to have available a rich abundance of young animals for the production of milk and meat.
This cruelty, too, surpasses every reason, as do so many other things. The human being has become the enemy of his own nature, for the life force, the life of animals, is a part of his own spiritual life substance as essence and power.
Man is the enemy of everything that is a part of the divine unity. Nothing is secure before the servant of evil, not even the animals in the woods and fields. Let it be said once again: He took from them not only their home, the land, the fields and forests – but on that little piece of land which is likened to a nature ghetto and which he left to the animals of the woods and fields, the hot-tempered brute destroys and kills whatever comes under his axe or rifle. The lust to kill and to slaughter animals is disguised by the supposed necessity of controlling their overpopulation. And for cutting down trees, whether they are filled with sap or not, the human has a justified reason in the eyes of the world. Everything that is practiced in the fields and woods by the brutality of a person is blessed by statutory law, the basis of which is “divide, bind and rule.”
What the hunters give as reason and justification for their bloody, murderous handiwork is a subliminal potential for aggression often embellished with the law, which is briefly sated by the hunt and a bull’s-eye shot at a defenseless animal. The hunter is not held accountable by these grafted-on laws of the Earth, nor is the animal-factory farmer; because the killing of an animal is judged by human courts to be necessary and permissible according to the law.
The quota for killing certain wild animal species is set by governmental authorities in the country of Germany. This means that people are even forced to kill, there. But God said: You shall not kill.
Whoever refuses to fulfill the governmental quota figures, that is, a person who does not want to violate the commandments of God, is attacked by the government in Germany. Again, a pure Fall-thought!
But don’t deceive yourself! This villainous behavior without conscience will be weighed and measured by the law of unity, of justice; for human beings, it is the law of sowing and reaping. This law doesn’t strike out – it comes in soft footfalls like the thief in the night and gives to each person and each soul what the person has caused.
We already heard that Pythagoras spoke about the law of cause and effect, which mankind must experience today, more than ever before. Among other things, he said: “Whatever a person does to the animals, he will be paid back in kind.”
This doesn’t happen according to the laws of this Earth, but each person is, himself, his own judge. He passes judgment on himself according to his own works, insofar as these were against the creatures and the creation of God – and which in the meantime has not been atoned, or paid off, so to speak.
Today, a person is still protected by the laws of the Earth as long as he keeps to this legal determination with its pathetic “order.” Perhaps already tomorrow when, at the deathbed of a person, the soul leaves the dying body and thus the life on Earth, things will look different on the other side of the fog bank that separates this side of life from the beyond.
Today, the animal killed not only brings the hunter his trophy and the honor of like-minded people, and not only brings a material gain, but also the blessing of the church, which adorns itself with everything that no longer breathes.
No matter how the “heroes” of the Fall describe themselves, whether they direct their aggressive potential against people, animals or nature, they are all against the unity of God, that is, against the eternal law of love and of love for neighbor, of “unite and be.”

The animal: a wonderful creature
from the hand of God ...
Learn to understand the animals

Every animal is in itself a wonderful creature from the hand of God – given by God so that we human beings may find our way back into unity, which is the law of life.
The behavior of animals will correspond to what the hunters pass on as their expert opinion, or even their “hunter’s jargon,” only for as long as animals are hunted, chased, fattened, shot down, butchered as slaughter animals in brutal ways and then placed before you, dear consumer, packaged and ready to be devoured.

One has to learn to understand the animals. It is only then that one really gets to know himself as a creature of God. Every species of animal has a state of development that I would like to call its state of consciousness. Every state of development, or, state of consciousness, has its corresponding language of nature so to speak.
There are very many different degrees of consciousness among the animals. For instance, the animals of the air have a totally different state of consciousness than the animals in the waters. The animals in the waters, in turn, have a totally different state of consciousness than the animals in the forest, on and in the fields, or than the animals of the desert, or of the jungle. And yet, they understand each other because their sounds and tones are reflexes of pictures which open up in the consciousness of the other animals. These see and smell the pictures in themselves. This pictorial transmission of the substance of consciousness is a spiritual process and thus, independent of spatial distances.
A human being can perceive the language of the animals solely with his heart – not with his physical heart, but with the heart of the soul, with the primordial basis of all Being, with the Creator power which we also call the core of being. The language of the heart of the soul is the language of unity.
Animals are not Fall-beings like humans are. They react according to their state of consciousness, unless humans interfere in their life, which happens quite often. Through this, animals do not exactly have a harmonious relationship with human beings. For example, the forest animals take flight when they see humans. The fear of people makes them, in part, aggressive. Animals see in humans their enemy, the hunter, who brings nothing but death to them.

Dear friends, in this letter I would like to report some experiences, which have caused my heart to beat ever more joyfully, because the creatures of life are wonderful beings. The animals have a very special ethic and moral for themselves and their species. Every person could really learn from the animals, if he only wanted to!
For almost three years now, I have been going into the woods several times a week – and not just to have a nice walk, but to experience the animals and study those that have their own language. During this time, I have experienced an inner greatness and charm in the animals that often is lacking in human beings. The animals have a very noble and fine character; it corresponds to their respective state of consciousness. One has to learn to understand and get to know them. One cannot force them into something; one has to develop trust with them and above all, one has to let them be free.
The home of the forest animals is the woods and the fields. First of all, this has to be respected, and secondly, their freedom, because they not only feel themselves as free creatures – they are this way in their whole behavior. The human being should be a friend of the animals, their big brother or big sister. He, the human, has become, instead, the enemy of the animals. The animals have lost their trust in humans. They are filled with fear and take flight when they see a two-legged creature.
So the friendship between human and animals has to be fought for, with a great deal of persistence, love and understanding, well, with the heart. How did “The Little Prince” express it? “It is only with the heart that one can see clearly.” In the woods with the animals, I have learned among other things that you can hear and feel clearly only with the heart.
When I go into the woods, it is as if I were meeting up with old friends that I have known from the very primordial beginnings of creation. The forest with its trees and bushes, the fields with their grasses and flowers and the whole world of animals has become my home.

Experiencing the unity of life in nature –
The experience of “me” in “we.”

The “language” of nature:
A process of pictorial transmissions

Wherever my friends are, the animals who carry no malice in their hearts, wherever nature speaks to me, wherever the elements sound out their melodies, there, I am at home.
The unending Spirit showed and shows me in wonderful ways that He, the All-Spirit, is the Creator of all Being and the effective power in the great and unending multiplicity of forms, the unity of life. Even the elementary forces bear the life force of the All-One. The air sings its song in the movement of the leaves, the twigs and branches of the trees; it sings its song through the movement of the bushes and grasses. The sun makes the leaves and flowers sparkle, and they announce the breath of light and radiate the song of the sun.
The water drop has its own particular melody. It begins with “drip, drip...” – and then it sounds out with its crystal clear, bright song, which nature in its totality thankfully perceives. The Earth opens its pores, and the crystalline sparkle sinks down into it very gently and quietly. The song of the waters sounds out then, through the Earth and through nature, in honor of the Creator. It blossoms. It grows. It ripens.
The elements and nature give themselves into the fruits, which sing all the nature songs by giving themselves to human beings and to animals. The songs of the elements, of the trees, the bushes, flowers and grasses build, as a unit, the mighty symphony of unity, which is revealed in the fruits. It is only with the heart that one can hear clearly.
As a being in God, I love my eternal homeland. As a human being in the Spirit of unity, I love my home on Earth, where I feel at home. It is the forests and fields, the Mother Earth, which bears all forms of life. Love without selfishness is freedom. True love links; true love makes one free and also leaves freedom to every form of life. Every animal, every flower and every bush has the right to free development, just as God meant for His creation.

Through my personal experience with the world of animals in the woods and fields, I had to unfortunately realize that there is still a long way to go until humans and animals become friends again. Actually it should make us human beings sad that an animal is frightened and flees in fear as soon as it sees us. A person who wants to grow closer to the animals in the woods and fields has to dedicate himself totally and completely to them. One has to learn to understand their fears, their suffering and pain, but also their joy and their urge for freedom. Every stirring of an animal – whether it is fearful, suffering or has pain, whether it is signaling joy or freedom – shows itself in a corresponding form of expression. One must open oneself for them, totally turning to them, feeling into them; one must learn, learn and learn again, in order to understand their behavior patterns, which are reflected in their conduct.
The first steps in the woods toward my friends were marked by my personal intention to maintain an inner and external discipline, to make no demands and to have no expectations. I made the effort to behave in such a way as fit with my intentions: to go into the woods as a friend of nature and of the animals. What I first encountered were my brothers, the trees, my nature brothers and sisters, including the bushes, the grasses and flowers.
I began to observe everything very exactingly in order to learn, because my first concern was to understand their language, the elemental song of unity, which flows from nature. I watched and listened with my heart.

Through many short and long walks, I learned to not desire or want anything, but only to go through the woods and fields with an open heart. Once, the following happened:
The branch of a bush was suddenly in my way. As we so normally do, I wanted to simply push it aside and go on. But the branch wanted something different. In the moment that I wanted to make my way free, it grabbed my hair and held me back. At this moment I became aware of the fact that I wanted something: I wanted to continue on my walk! – But nature wanted something different. So I told myself, “Stop! Just stop a moment – make no demands and have no expectations!”
I remained rooted to the spot. Suddenly I felt a warm flowing begin in my heart. I let this happen without asking how come and what it can be. I continued to breathe calmly, my eyes remained fixed on a leaf that was irradiated by the sun and moved by a breath of air. It was for me as if suddenly a whole orchestra sounded out with the song of unity. It was infinity, which briefly flooded through me and let me know, recognize and experience that everything lives, that the mighty eternal Spirit is a great revelation of unity.
I have been hearing the word of God already for many years, that which God, the All-wise One, gives through His instrument, the prophet, to the people who want to hear it. His voice was now the voice of nature. In one single moment, I grasped and understood what the mighty Spirit of nature wanted to tell me. Its stream moved in my heart, and I knew about the language of nature.
I have learned and continue to learn ever more. I see and look at my brothers the trees with my heart and I experience and grasp them in my inner being. With my heart, I feel what they and all other nature brothers and sisters, the bushes, grasses and flowers, want to tell me; and I hear the song of nature, when the elements use the leaves, the branches, the grasses and flowers as instruments which then ring out as one in the song of unity, in praise and glory to the mighty Creator-Spirit.
In this high and joyful mood, I continued through the woods and over the fields and meadows. Again and again, I sensed deep inside of me that I am surrounded by a power that flows through me and all things and makes me happy. Again and again, I stood still, in order to feel into what I was experiencing. It always resounded in me again when I immersed myself in nature, without expecting or demanding anything, for example, in the wish to hear or perceive something.

During my next walk I learned bit by bit to feel myself as a part of nature, to be one with my brothers, the trees, with the nature brothers and sisters, the bushes, the grasses and the flowers. I was no longer me – I was in “we” and in being “at one” with the life.
While the waves of perception of the heart were beating joyfully, I suddenly stumbled over a stone. Based on my experience with nature, it was immediately clear to me that I should stop and go within, in order to receive the message that the present day held ready for me. Once more, I told myself to have no demands, to have no expectations toward the consciousness of the minerals, for example, toward the stone over which I had stumbled. I simply affirmed that everything is a part of me. Every stone contains the greatness of the Creator and belongs to Mother Earth, just as the soil and every inhabitant of the forests, woods, fields, every little blade of grass and I, too, the human being, are all a part of this great whole.
Again, I sensed in me the stirring of life, which can be put in words only with a great deal of effort and never satisfactorily, because inner processes reveal themselves in pictures and in knowledge. In one moment, I saw within myself this unity between nature and the minerals. The dense forms, the substance of nature, the large and small animals, the plants and minerals, were all very well visible. But from within streamed an aura, a fluidum that flowed together, linking everything into a unit and which began to shine as a unit. This light did not stop before me, the human. It took me in and flooded through me, so that I was one with the fluidum, the aura, of nature and the minerals.
In this awareness of unity, I heard deep in the heart of my soul the dialogue of the life forms, which expressed itself in pictures. In their pictorial language, I saw and knew at the same time, how the soil, the earth, transmitted signals to the nature forms, the plants and minerals, information about what takes place in the earth, like, how the plant world should conserve and maintain the element water. The language of the elements, including that of Mother Earth, is a process of transmission of pictures to plants and animals, which, for example, perceive according to their consciousness, that not much water can be taken from the store of water in the earth at this time. And so, impulses from Mother Earth go as signals to the grasses, to maintain the morning dew as long as possible, so that the micro-organisms and the tiny animals have water to drink. Aside from this, Mother Earth tries to give weak plants corresponding nourishment, including water – insofar as it is possible for her, because we know that wherever human beings have interfered, Mother Earth can hardly help any longer.

It is a wonderful experience to see how Mother Earth cares for the animals, plants and minerals! Further pictures continued to open up in me, which let me, the human, know how Mother Earth struggles to reach her charges, her plant children and the animals, as well. Unimaginable impulses stream from Mother Earth, which, as I was privileged to experience later, contained fragrance-signals for the animals, from which the animals can deduce where sources of water or puddles are to be found. Via Mother Earth, the All-Spirit cares for all life forms, so that they have water and food. Unfortunately, I always have to qualify this and say that this is possible only when humans do not interfere and disturb the mighty bridge between the All-Spirit and all the forms of life on and in the Earth.

As I, the human being, began to think, for example, “what have I experienced here?” I suddenly found myself no longer in the All-stream of nature. I again felt myself as a human being who saw and heard only what was around him.
Always, when we human beings start asking or even wanting to explore with our head, we remove ourselves from the unity and determine things for ourselves. To hear with our heart means to perceive in stillness, with the heart of our soul, what our head, the mind, is not able to comprehend.

From the intellect to understanding
and comprehension

Apropos the intellect: Many people are so proud of their intellectual thinking. With his narrow-minded, arrogant pride over the fact that humans have an intellect – while animals, on the other hand, have only “instinct” – the arrogant intellectual just ignores everything he cannot grasp with his mind. That the intellect alone is not a bridge-builder, but only has one leg to stand on, which moreover, is standing in the morass of self-adulation, cannot of course be put into question, when one observes the condition of the world today and the scientific community, which also no longer knows what direction to take. Today, science represents a particular thesis, extolling it as the truth – and tomorrow it has to already revise its “cleverness” and set a new trap, which will then prove itself just as invalid the day after.

Coming from his intellect, an intellectual person ascribes certain capabilities to himself, which often lead to recognitions that are so badly qualified that he partly embellishes them with such words as “I think,” “I mean,” “I believe,” or “I hope,” that is, he has to qualify them as a precautionary measure. He throws expressions around, draws other conclusions from statements, passes judgment on others and, nevertheless, from his egotistical dungeon of compulsive beliefs and conceptions, deludes himself and demonstrates through his whole pompous behavior: “I have an alert and sharp mind.” In this “dungeon-like consciousness,” he feels, seen as a whole, that he stands above all life, because he is of the conviction that the mind is the be-all and end-all of his existence. In reality, intellectual thinking is nothing more than a catwalk upon which intellectuals present themselves. But in so doing, they always have to take care not to fall off and slide into the masses, which in their intellect, are not quite so “brilliant” as themselves.
Seldom does anyone believe that the intellect, of itself, has only a narrow horizon and a limited ability to comprehend, because it is classified as a high attribute of human beings, which supposedly raises them above all other life forms. And yet, the intellect could be of service to them, to their task and to the great whole, the good of the community.
The human head is the seat of the brain. What we human beings need is a head with a well-functioning brain, whose cells absorb the different directions life takes, so that the person can live on the Earth and determine the course of his days. This is why we need a brain, to learn a certain occupation and to be able to weigh and measure things that happen during our daily life. We need it in order to develop certain basic programs for the course of our earthly existence. Beyond this, we need a well-mannered intellect that gathers facts which we then analyze with the spirit of truth, in order to find just solutions for ourselves and for the world.
When we then place all these positive attributes of the intellect in service of the mighty Creator-Spirit, we notice that understanding grows from our intellect, and from this understanding, comprehension awakens for the things of life, for everything around us and that we cannot see and hear. So understanding contains comprehension, including the comprehension of our neighbor.

In order to understand others, dedication is necessary – dedication to one thing, to one matter, to one task, which demands everything of us and which we strive for with all our power, with our heart and mind, in order to be able to fulfill it; but also a dedication to people whom we want to help in their worry and need or to support in their occupation, for example, as a doctor, so that he is able to helpfully support the patient and much more.
To understand means to be able to feel into situations or people. In its broadest sense, to understand means to feel into, that is, to become aware that everything that lives is not only the form itself, not only the shape, the physical, as such, but that everything is in communication with the life that is God, for God is the life in all things and in every life form. The human being is the bearer of life, which is God.
The divine in people is not the intellect. The intellect is based on acquired knowledge. The Spirit in the person is infinitely eternal, omnipresent law, the absolute; and so, it is perfect and cannot be changed.

Human beings kill animals.
God is the life!

During the events of the day, whoever makes the effort to analyze what understanding actually means will very soon find himself asking the little question “why.” Why is this so and not another way? Why isn’t it as the intellect conceived it? Why has today’s society, which has become a society of intellectuals, become so brutal? Why is it so hard or impossible for us to understand people of other cultures? Why is the one sick, the other healthy? Why do we human beings consume pieces of animal carcasses, when we are supposedly the crown of creation? If we want to be the crown of creation, why can’t we create life? Why does the human always need a life base, a life substance, in order to be able to build upon it? Why can’t we, of ourselves, create a base, a life substance? There are still countless questions we could ask.
For many people questions still remain open, such as: Why do people take the life of other people? Why do people kill animals? Why do people destroy nature? Why can’t they create the base, the substance of life?
The big-mouthed intellectual person cannot create a small blade of grass, a flower, a tree, a bush, an animal – he always needs the basic substance of life, the basis of life. What is this life substance? It is solely God.
If God is the life – may a human being kill? Does a person believe he can kill people because the churches have allowed killing? Does a person believe he can kill animals because the churches allowed killing? Or is he of the point of view that since animals have no intellect, but only an “instinct,” he is allowed to kill them? The churches are for killing, because everything that does not follow in their footsteps, in the footsteps of the Fall-thought, is dangerous or could be dangerous to them. But God said through Moses: “You shall not kill.” The adversary said through the ecclesiastical leaders: “You may kill, just don’t murder.”
Whoever, without self-adulation, starts to explore the so-called instinct of animals will sooner or later reach the realization that “instinct” is much more far-reaching than the intellect.
The definition of instinct in the dictionary is as follows: “Stimulus of nature. Natural drive. Unconsciously controlled, without requiring practice, natural drive toward certain patterns of behavior. The capacity, particularly of animals, to react in certain situations in certain ways, including deliberately directed ways, to show a certain behavior (especially one that preserves the life or species): The animal instinct of caring for its brood, of reproduction and the mother’s instinct. Animals let themselves be guided by their instinct.”
If we gather the facts on instinct and analyze them, we recognize that the behavior patterns of animals are embedded in nature’s course of events. The elements and Mother Earth, everything that is unburdened, that is, without ego drive, and that lives in and on the Earth, is guided by the All-Spirit, the life. The plants, minerals and animals are, therefore, permeated by the All-Spirit, the Spirit of nature. The eternal Spirit, the eternal law, God, is active and prevails in nature on Earth.

Let us recognize the difference between being guided and controlled. Control takes place via non-divine forces and always leads to weakness, decay, disintegration, spoilage, decline – and finally to death. This corresponds to the Fall-thought.
People are controlled by whom? Who has an effect on their ego-drive?
The birds fly thousands of kilometers; they know their flight route; they know the time to brood. At the same place where they bred a year ago, they build their nests in good time, or they move into their home from the previous year. One can observe the same or similar thing throughout the animal world.
For many animals, procreation and brooding takes place only two to three times a year. Now we raise the little word “why?” Why don’t human beings know their own limits? Why is it time for sex, day and night? Why is the human an egoistic show-off and a sexual show-off? Does his whole behavior come from his intellect because he is an intellectual person? Analyzing without bias, we can say that the intellect is inferior to instinct. Nature is directed by the All-Spirit, the human being is controlled by his intellectual drive, which is filled with ego-greed, with egoism, arrogance and sexual drive. The intellect lacks the love for God – nature lives in the love for God and thus in unity.

In a nutshell, one can say that if human beings had an instinct instead of an intellect, they would be smarter. Here are some statements regarding this from Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1869), a German philosopher:
“Whoever is cruel toward animals cannot be a good person.”
“Christian morals have limited their guidelines totally to human beings, leaving the whole world of animals without rights. Just see how our Christian rabble treats the animals, how they kill or mutilate or torture them totally without purpose, and while laughing over it, they drive their horses to strain themselves to the utmost into old age in order to squeeze the last penny out of their poor bones until they succumb to their blows. One would truly want to say that human beings are the devils of the Earth and the animals its plagued souls.”
“The world is not a shoddy effort and the animals are not a fabrication for our use. One owes the animals not pity but justice.”

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) an Italian painter and universal genius, said the following:
“The day will come when people will be sentenced for killing an animal, just as today they are condemned for killing a person. There will come a time when we will condemn the eating of animals just as we condemn cannibalism today.”

We can read what Günther Weizel, (1915-1984) a well-known German chemist, said:
“The Christian conscience cannot be content with the non-application of the 5th Commandment concerning the slaughter animals. Whoever visits a slaughterhouse only once will be shocked and disgusted by what he sees there. Almost everyone comes to the conclusion that the brutal slaughter of animals, which one has raised and fattened in order to finally eat them, is unworthy of mankind and especially of Christianity.”

And Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), humanist and author, realized:
“As long as there are slaughterhouses, there will also be battlefields.”
“Vegetarianism is a criteria by which we can recognize whether the striving of people for moral perfection is earnestly meant or not.”

Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965), medical doctor, musician and theologian, Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1952, said the following:
“Reverence for life means to shy away from killing.”
“Wherever an animal is forced into the service of man, the suffering that it endures concerns us all.”
“My opinion is that we, who stand up for the defense of the animals, should completely renounce eating meat and speak out against it. This is how I do it. And in this way, perhaps many will realize this, although the problem is late in being shown.”
“I allow myself to say that the habit of eating meat is not in agreement with awe-inspiring feelings.”

Everything fled before the “crown of creation.”
Our “four-legged” expeditions into nature.
The harvest is also there for the animals!

Now, I want to come back to my walk and the experiences I had in nature. As I slipped through some undergrowth, joyfully and thankful for the experiences that I was privileged to make in the woods and on the fields, suddenly a hare jumped in front of me. It took flight from me, the two-legged one. The thought “flight” held me under its spell. I thought, “flight.” Why is it taking flight from me? It flees from the people who – as they describe themselves – should be the crown of creation. Apparently, the hare did not feel well under this crown.
As I slipped through some more undergrowth, a deer jumped out and took flight. I thought: Again, taking flight before the “crown of creation!” At the same moment a blackbird flew out of the bushes with a cry. Again, taking flight from the “crown of creation.” As I left the bushes, I saw a path further away that is used by the wild pigs and I thought: Should the wild pigs get wind of me, will they attack the “crown of creation” or take flight before it? – However, I saw none. Then I walked over a field; a hawk took flight. Crows flew high and – I just barely saw it – a field mouse quickly sought out its home, to protect itself from the “crown of creation.”
My joy receded. Dejected, I turned back and went toward home, the “crown of creation.” Everything that could simply flee took flight from the “crown of creation.” Why?
Human beings have turned away from God’s almighty power and love, they have turned away from the great revelation of unity with nature and the animals. People walk the path of intellectual greed that says, “I know everything better.” The human being puts himself above God. This is the Fall-thought.
I said to myself: I am not a part of the Fall-thought – and yet I am a human being, and the animals flee before humans. I love God, my Father and His creation. I may be a two-legged creature, a human being, but the woods and the fields have become my home as a human being. I love my nature brothers and sisters and the animals.

Dear friends, it is a spiritual principle of the law that if a person establishes an inner connection with his fellow men, then he draws nearer to the communication with the power of God. The same is true for our living relationship with our animal brothers and sisters! On the path of caring for our second neighbors, the animals, of empathizing and feeling into them, and by also applying the Ten Commandments of God and the Sermon on the Mount of Jesus toward them, we grow into the stream of life which is God and which, in turn, is our true, eternal being. This is how we find our way into the unity and into the cosmic love.
This experience is also one the Russian poet, Feodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) made, who tells us: “Love the animals; love every plant and each thing! If you love each thing, then the mysteries of God will reveal themselves to you in all things and in the end you will encompass all the world with love!”

Now back to me during my walk in the woods.
It is one of the many intellectual marks of human beings, the opinion of many, that they know how animals are supposed to behave. For example, that it is totally normal and correct, that animals from the woods and fields flee from people – I simply did not allow this to hold true for me. For me, experience is valid; it is the determining factor and not the opinion of so-called experts.
I thought about it and came to the conclusion that it is the humans, the two-legged creatures, from whom the animals of nature flee, the animals of the woods, of the fields, the animals of the air and of the waters. I thought and thought about it, and suddenly, a picture came up in my consciousness: What I have to do is become a “four-legged” creature! In my picture I saw an old jeep, that has, after all, four wheels. It was immediately clear to me: I will borrow such an old jeep, that is, a “four-legged” creature.
As I told a small circle of brothers and sisters about my experiences in nature, what I experienced with the animals, and at the same time told them what I intended to do, that is, to drive with a “four-legged creature,” a jeep, to the animals in the woods, all the old familiar objections were raised: “If you want to watch only the animals of the woods and fields that are not dangerous, it’s okay, but” – and here it came – “since you’ve already discovered a wild pig path, your small expedition is not quite so harmless, because wild pigs are dangerous.”
I promptly retorted in the following sense: “Phooey! Many people are far more dangerous than the animals, even more dangerous than the pigs! Many people are above all unpredictable and underhanded. With them, no one ever knows what they are thinking or intending. But on the other hand, the animals are simply the way they are. And if some of the animals are dangerous and attack people, then surely not unjustly, when you think about what human beings have done to the animals over the centuries and millennia.” And I didn’t have to think about it for long, to continue: “I am not afraid! On the one hand, I am well-practiced in changing my behavior in order to completely adjust to nature. On the other hand, I have already been able to learn a great deal from nature, for example, its communicative language of pictures. Besides, I love God, my Father, who is the Creator of infinity and the life in everyone and all things, including in the so-called dangerous wild pigs.”
Two of my brothers insisted on going with me in my “four-legged creature,” the jeep. They meant well, and there’s a saying that says: “Oh well, let the poor soul have its peace.”

autumn came. Two brothers and I, we three, drove through the fields and through the woods. Very quickly we realized that we had to drive slowly, very slowly, so that the animals would not be frightened. Over and over again we called each other’s attention to having to drive slowly, to have no expectations and also make no claims!
Each time, the perception of our senses refined itself. With every expedition into nature, we paused more and more often in order to experience the different behavior patterns of the different bird species and of the other animals of the fields and woods. For example, we watched a squirrel for a long time, how it gathered its stores for winter. It gathered nuts from a walnut tree and cracked them open deftly and skillfully. The “four-legged creature” did not disturb these inhabitants of the woods, unless we activated the jeep’s starter which we tried to avoid as much as possible in order to not disturb the little animal. It came and went. It was gathering for winter. How adroitly it sprang from branch to branch, and how skillfully it gathered the walnuts from the tree and the hazelnuts from the bushes! It was a memorable picture! We stayed sitting in our “four-legged creature” for a long and quiet time.
During these quiet moments of observation, I thought, for example: How does a squirrel know that winter is coming and that it should gather and store food? I mean, how does the little inhabitant of the forest know that a walnut tree is standing there, and over there a hazelnut bush? The intellectual person would simply dismiss this question with the word “instinct.” In reality, the animals have a natural communication toward nature and with nature, the unity-consciousness, which is linked with the great Spirit of infinity who knows about all things. On the other hand, how pathetic is the human being with his ego-channel, his intellect, that is only a self-programming! One can rightly say that the human being has become what he is – all-too-human.

Underway with our “four-legged creature,” the jeep, we experienced many surprises and had some experiences that helped us to feel into our animal brothers and sisters more and more easily. As I already said, autumn had already arrived. The leaves began to change color and a cooler wind blew over the fields and through the woods. With every expedition we experienced how autumn pushed more and more to the forefront, driving out late summer. The trees became increasingly bare; the wind blew stronger and stronger through the branches of the trees. We learned to feel on our own bodies how a conifer stand of trees could more or less withstand the cold, relentless wind. On the other hand, the frosty wind blew unhindered through the deciduous woods and the bare underbrush. The underbrush that until then had given the animals shelter was now empty of leaves so that no little animal could hope to find protection or a hiding place there.
Sorrow rose in me as I thought about the animal world that was so exposed without protection from the winter, from the rain, the cold and the snow. In response to a corresponding remark, my companions said – surely with the intention of allaying my concern and to reassure themselves: “Nature has the animals of the forest grow thick fur; the birds and squirrels have their nests. The small animals and the micro-organisms burrow deeper into the soil, depending on how winter shows itself to them.”
But I interrupted them: “What about all the other animals? Aren’t you talking like the many “animal protectors” and farmers? To say nothing of the hunters! They are, in part, the wild hunting fellows who hunt animals out of lust and frustration, maybe because they don’t have a say at home, so they put their aggressions under governmental approval, which means they are recognized by the state as official shooters. Do you really think that for our animal brothers and sisters, the hares, foxes, deer, the wild pigs, that things are really going well for them in face of the coming winter that brings with it rain, snow, perhaps a crusted snow covering, ice, frost, cold wind, storms and other things? We human beings can sit in a warm room at a set table, and have something to eat and drink – but the animals? They don’t even have the warm winter coat that nature had intended for them.”
Dismay and perplexity was reflected in the faces of my companions. I continued: “Most people are lethargic and lazy without end; they simply accept occurrences without even thinking about them, without getting to the bottom of it. But let’s use our intellect sensibly – instead of applying intellectual acrobatics – by questioning everything and feeling into our neighbor and our second neighbor. Only then, will we see where the need is; only then, can solutions be found; only then, is true progress possible, the development toward a better world.
The great, eternal Spirit cares for His children. He, the Spirit of life in nature, brings it to grow, blossom and ripen. Then comes the harvest time. Harvest time – the egoistic human relates everything only to himself: I harvest, I profit. But the animals are also children, children of creation, of God. The harvest is there for them, too. Why? It is necessary for our animal brothers and sisters, because the animals, which hardly have a warm nest, need for example, the fresh grain, during the summer, at the time of harvest, in order to store enzymes, minerals, trace elements and other substances in their bodies. They need these to gather the corresponding powers of resistance so that, among other things, they can grow a thick fur and accumulate some fat on their ribs, so that they can live off that during the cold months. And what happens? Especially those animals that urgently need these substances in order to survive the winter are not only driven from the fields of the farmers, but the latter even call on the hunters to shoot down the animals that are gathering from their fields what is actually due to them – for they are creatures of nature, children of the Mother Earth, children of creation of the All-Spirit.
Still during the time of my youth, the farmers harvested the grain by hand with a scythe and then tied it together into sheaves. The sheaves were set up in the field in such a way that the ears could dry. After a certain time of drying, they were then loaded on the truck with a fork and driven to the barns. With this certainly very strenuous work, grain was left behind on the field, so that the animals still found food for a certain length of time, which, depending on the weather, extended into winter.
Today, the whole field is worked thoroughly and profit-consciously with a combine harvester that basically vacuums up the grain, so that there is hardly a single kernel left. That’s the way it is today. The so-called experts and farmers are out of date, when they say that the animals have a winter coat, that they find enough food in the woods and on the fields. And all those who think this way or thoughtlessly parrot these “truths” are also outdated.” I turned to my companions and said, “You are talking like such people from ‘yesterday,’ for whom it is important only that their experiences from ‘yesterday’ are shown off as competent today, in a totally different timeframe. And as far as the farmers are concerned, they’re only interested in filling their barns, their purses and their plates. You” – and by this, I meant my companions – “are wearing a warm sweater, a thick jacket or coat and maybe even warm underwear, and in your homes the central heating is on in all the rooms for the little ego-man without feelings, so that he doesn’t get cold.
Do the animals that were chased from the fields and perhaps find little to eat in the woods this year get a thick undercoat around their body in preparation for winter, as you wear thick underwear? And do they have enough stores, do they have enough food? Hardly any person asks these questions. Every person is his own best friend and besides, for the experts animals are just an object, beings without rights, without feelings, equipped only with an ‘instinct.’”
I was very annoyed because this was about my friends, the animals, which I was coming to understand better and better, because I was learning their communicative language.
The cold-heartedness of so many people practically broke my heart. And among farmers, whom one normally assumes are for nature and the animals, are many of the worst denigrators of nature and the animal world.

The first encounters with the
“dangerous wild pigs.”
“Animals do not have a warm home.”

On that particular Fall day I was driving my “four-legged creature,” the jeep. Since nothing happens by chance, suddenly I came upon a wild pig pathway that was easy to see since the heavy animals leave behind clear signs of passage. I stopped the jeep. My wish was to remain near the path of the wild pigs, even if it had to be all night, in order to see the “dangerous” animals, the wild pigs, and experience them at some point in time – if the Creator-Spirit wanted that.
For about approximately two hours, we stood there in our “four-legged” jeep. Very gradually dusk set in over the fields, the meadows and through the woods. Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the bare undergrowth. We sat there as if under a spell and didn’t dare move. It was as if all three of us held our breath on command.
From the thicket came what looked to us like a large family of wild pigs – the hunters talk about a “herd of sows” in their denigrating hunter’s jargon. When they discovered our “four-legged creature,” a warning call went out from one of the family members, which I meanwhile describe as “woof!” Immediately following there was a brief noise and suddenly everything was still as a mouse.
We have already heard that all animals inform themselves via the language of sound, smell and picture. The picture that the wild pigs had of the pathway was not the same today as before.
Calm, but excited, we remained seated in our “four-legged creature.” We knew that if the animals were to perceive just one movement from us, this would immediately drive them away. One of us looked through the car window to where the sound and “woof!” signal had come from while the others of us stayed away – as much as it was possible – from the car window. We pressed against the seat of the car. Soon we began to feel cold and our tense sitting posture started giving us difficulty, but we were of one mind: “Whoever is to experience the great event of creation in the woods and fields has to be patient.”
Our patience was rewarded. Again there was a rustling sound in the thicket. Our look-out at the window murmured: “Careful! Stay quiet – don’t move!”
Some wild pigs came out of the brush and remained standing for a moment as if rooted to the spot. They could not relate to the change in their picture. Again, a warning “woof” call sounded out – and they all disappeared. The darkness of the woods now offered them protection. Our “four-legged creature” stood opposite to the thicket, on the other side of the woods. There was a small meadow in between, across which the path of the bristly fellows went. On the meadow shone the light of the moon, so that one could still clearly see when wild pigs stepped onto their path.
Suddenly it got loud again. Out of the undergrowth came four valiant and rowdy wild pigs. The bristles on their necks stood on end. Today, after our experiences with wild pigs, we now we know they were one year olds. Somewhat hesitantly, but quickly, they ran from one edge of the woods across the meadow to the other edge of woods. Apparently, the four courageous forerunners were being watched by the other members of their family, because others followed them at ever shorter intervals. Nevertheless, their neck hair bristled, too, and they ran quickly on their pathway through the meadow to the other side of the woods. One could see that they were under the greatest tension. And yet, they had dared it. They disappeared immediately into the forest.
We had parked our “four-legged” jeep in such a way that we did not need to use the starter to get going. Mostly in silence our vehicle rolled from our position of observation a long way down over the gently sloping countryside and onto the path that led home.
That was our first direct encounter with the “dangerous” wild pigs.

Once home, we were so happy over our persistence, which we wanted to continue to put to the test in the future. I had infected my two companions with my urge to learn and research, which did not leave me in peace.
Since I literally saw the animals’ fear on their necks, I was finally able to dissociate myself from the idea that wild pigs are dangerous. Years ago the great Spirit of infinity had revealed that animals basically would be no danger to human beings, if the latter would treat the animals as is rightfully their species’ due, by not chasing them down and killing them.
Let us be aware of the fact that animals sense and feel joy, suffering and pain just as humans do. Human beings have and are still causing right up until today unspeakable suffering to the animals; they beat, torment and maltreat them; they chase them down and kill them; they keep them in animal ghettos as slaughter animals and in scientific laboratories as objects of experimentation. And so, in his egotistical and mawkish sentimentality, many a person degrades the noble, free and independent creatures as “cuddly animals” without will or dignity.
All in all, domineering man stamps the label “without rights” on the animals. The suffering, the ignominy, the drudgery, the pain and the torment of the tortured and ill-treated creatures is crying out to heaven.
In the meantime, even the scientists of this world have found out that animals are collectively linked with one another in a certain way. Experiences that are made by an individual are shared with its like species via the consciousness, and at that, independent of spatial distance. So from this, who can be surprised when animals in general are deeply afraid! Because of its programs of fear toward people, many animals attack, particularly when the sensitive being feels the aggressions that are emitted by humans, or when their breath smells like carrion, that is, like meat, like the murder of animal brothers and sisters. The brutal human is, in the final analysis, a danger to the animal world, which in fear and panic, runs away, cries out or attacks.
I said, “The animals want to be our friends. We humans have to show them a lot of patience and love, that we are also their friends. Human beings have to gain their trust.”
We were in agreement to drive as often as possible to the place where we had met the wild pigs. This we did. And always, when we took our customary place, we experienced something new and different. We were privileged to learn.
The wild pigs, which used their pathway regularly, remained very reserved at first. Soon we saw that the path of the wild pigs was frequented by every age, and could observe how they very gradually took our jeep, the “four-legged creature,” into their picture.
One evening, not only the bristly animal siblings came out of the thicket, but suddenly three deer sprang out from the underbrush. At first they were frightened, but then they began to graze cautiously on the meadow in the woods, alertly watchful toward the jeep. We kept to the background as much as possible, which means that we didn’t press our face to the windows of the car to curiously watch the animals of the woods and fields.
Our enthusiasm for the beauty of nature and the animal world grew, even though we really froze when it became very cold. But it was this, in particular, that got us thinking that the animals must be freezing as well!, that they don’t have a warm home. A warm home – these were the key words that began to work in me.
On another cold day it rained and rained in a real downpour; it was definitely uncomfortable. The rain dripped to the earth from the bare branches and twigs of the bushes and trees.
For those of us who work with the Sermon on the Mount, nothing happens by chance. In the end, everything we experience wants to tell us something. On this particular dreary and rainy winter day, we were again in our jeep, standing at our favorite spot. Again the deer stepped out from under the wet and inhospitable underbrush. As we so casually say, they were soaked to the skin. This made me hurt deep down in my soul. Besides, they had to search for the little bit of grass and herbs that was still growing on the wooded meadow and this was, like everything else in the rain, totally soaked. The deer drew across the meadow grazing and disappeared across the way into the wet thicket.
We sat there in our jeep and just froze. In this uncomfortable, cold, narrow jeep, we thought of our warm house. The question just sort of rose in terms of whether we would be able to see anything today. We had hardly expressed this thought when we noticed that we were already looking for excuses and reasons to leave. We actually caught ourselves in the act of being unfaithful to our positive intentions! As if by command we remembered: No expectations! We don’t want anything – just be there!
For over two hours we sat there in our “four-legged creature.” Suddenly one of us said: “Look very carefully to the right, in the thicket.” Very cautiously, without moving much, we turned our eyes in that direction: wild pigs lay huddled together on the wet and cold ground. It was winter; the thicket had no leaves. And so, the rain dripped on the huddled, unprotected bodies: drip, drip, drip...
I began to pray quietly: “Great Spirit of nature, how can the animals, those without rights, be helped, the animals that are disdained by human beings and hunted on the fields, where the food grows for them as well, so that they have what they need to store something away for winter? Their thick pelt will grow only if they can take in enough nourishment during the summer, and receive everything that they need to store for the cold days in order to survive.”
Prayer always helps. The great Spirit did not wait to give answer.
Based on the key words that had moved me – “they don’t have a warm home” – the Eternal reflected to me the summer when still as a child I had seen how the grain was harvested. In the picture I saw the sheaves set up like small tents to dry. Over this picture of these sheaves of grain set up to dry, another picture came up, of an igloo. This igloo was not made of snow and ice blocks, nor of straw or tent material; it was made of many branches and twigs that just simply lie about in the woods and forests. I had hardly taken in this picture when another one came that showed me that when the winter is very cold, people should bring animals the proper kind of food. Both these pictures stayed in me; they were alive in me.

Once we were home, I began to telephone brothers and sisters to gain the expertise available in the work of the Eternal for what I wanted to do. I told them about my impressions in the forest as well as what was shared and shown to me in pictures through my prayer.
It was a great joy to experience that all the brothers and sisters whom I contacted immediately became enthusiastic over this rescue action. In no time, many Christ-friends came together, gathered branches and twigs in the woods and built such “igloos” wherever it was possible, with the instructions of an expert. Carpenters helped and built food racks for the deer. In just a few days, in the woods that were part of the area set aside for nature and the animals, food racks were standing with proper food for the deer. At the same time, mineral blocks were set up.
We sought information from local governmental offices on what kind of food was in general allowed to be given at this time of year, winter, which would be good for the wild pigs, the hares, foxes, birds and other small and even tiny animals. We kept to the regulations. Our apples are constantly in demand by the inhabitants of the woods. But if we had come without our “four-legged” vehicle, they would have avoided us for a long time, even with the apples.

We continued to make our expeditions into the woods and fields, always on “four legs.” It was worth keeping this up. Little by little, the animals had absorbed our “four-legged creature” into their picture and as a result, gotten braver and braver. The deer drew closer, the hares hopped by the jeep without shying away. The birds sat on the roof and chirped and twittered merrily away and the wild pigs didn’t bristle up as they went along their pathways. Even their warning call “woof!” that they had called out for a long time came more and more seldom, unless a large, full-grown boar came into the vicinity, raising the insecurity of the wild pig family with his warning calls.

And we, too, in our “four-legged creature,” took courage and put out some apples that we had received from the enterprises and an apple farm. Even the apples so placed disturbed the picture of the animals. This time, the wild pigs did not go their way without worry. The apples irritated them. Their fear of what they were not used to having in their picture up to this point made them immediately more cautious. They picked up the scent, to smell what it was that again lay near their regular pathway. But this time it didn’t take the clever wild pigs long to realize that what was lying out there was something to eat. At first, an apple was unusual to them. They ate a small piece from it and left the rest lying there. But it was not only the pigs who found they liked them, even the clever fox put in an appearance to feast on them.
In the vicinity of the woods meadow, where the deer always showed up, a feeding rack was set up. These forest inhabitants also approached the unusual picture of food racks for deer very cautiously and carefully and began to eat the deer feed very slowly and reflectively.
The three of us in the “four-legged creature” were beyond ourselves with joy! We felt we were included in nature. The animals showed courage. They had accepted the “four-legged creature.”

Steps from a “four-legged” to a “two-legged” creature.
“Slipping into the wild pig garb – for the sake of unity!”

Now came the next test for us two-legged creatures. It was time to present ourselves as two-legged creatures. But how would the animals react to us? If we wanted to remain faithful to our resolve, we would have to expose ourselves to them – we could not just simply confront them. To confront them would have been like challenging them and testing strength with them, who was the greatest, that is, strongest. With such competition there is always a winner and a loser. And surely we would have been the losers in this.
Besides, competition is a form of fighting. But we had come and wanted to continue to come as friends to our animal brothers and sisters. What they make of us and how they react to us – whether they run from us, whether the wild pigs attack or accept us – depends totally on our behavior toward them. It was clear to us that we would have to expose ourselves to them without any ifs and buts and without taking any great security measures.
Once spoken, so done.
Again I prayed and asked the invisible spiritual helpers in nature for guidance, because we did not want to frighten the animals when they saw us. As already said, selfless prayer always helps! And here, it wasn’t about us people – it was about the animal world.

The adversary prevails in our world with his principle: Divide, bind and rule. The darkling divided human beings from animals and nature. People who became servile to him – the one for reasons of profit, the other out of indifference – had and have a destructive influence on unity. Through this, they create blows of fate and disasters reaching proportions of great worldwide natural disasters.
The great Spirit of infinity is and remains the unity. We human beings, who are merely guests on this Earth, are called upon to learn, in order to again awaken our spiritual heritage, the cosmic law of unity, love and freedom, so that after our physical death we may return to the Father-house as cosmic beings.
Unity links; unity makes one free. During the many years I have served God as His instrument, the consciousness of unity was and is a source of unending strength, from which I draw and understand the word and the picture of unity. In my inner being, in my soul, spiritual helpers reflected the following to me in word and picture: “Where the ‘four-legged’ jeep stands, step out onto the ground bit by bit, very slowly, as a two-legged creature.”
The beings of infinity communicate via the language of pictures. In the picture in me, I saw how I should behave. For example, we opened the back door of the jeep and one of us sat on the edge of the back of the “four-legged” creature, so that the body was visible from outside. But the legs were still not touching the ground.
Now the question was who goes first?
My companions told me: “Well since you’re the one who gets instructions from the invisible helpers, why don’t you show yourself first?!”
We opened the back door of the jeep and I sat in such a way that even though I was inside the jeep I was visible and my legs were already hanging outside of the jeep. The open jeep was parked in such a way that the animals could see me.
A few meters away, a hare hopped by, stood up briefly to take a look at that strange being in the jeep and then hopped away. The birds that until now had trusted the “four-legged creature” – since they had often used its roof to take off from – sat on the branches of the trees and watched the still and strange form that stretched its two legs out of their take-off ramp. Their twittering could have meant: “Is that a scarecrow?” And, of course, they wouldn’t have been wrong, because the scarecrows set out by people in gardens and on many fields to drive them away symbolize human beings who are supposed to drive them away.

No matter which picture the birds had of me, the “scarecrow” remained quietly sitting. The sun began to set. The birds sought out their nests. It became quiet in the woods. As if the wild pigs knew that I was cold, they came somewhat earlier on that day. They stopped, raised their snouts and sniffed: “What’s that thing that’s hanging out of the ‘four-legged’ one? It’s an unusual picture!” They remained standing, undecided what to do.
From my soul I suddenly knew I had to speak, because their language of pictures also contains sounds. So I began to speak slowly and calmly, and what I said, I also conveyed at the same time as a picture to them. I talked and talked in a very low, almost monotonous voice. I spoke about the spirit of nature, about the unity of life; I said that we were coming as friends, that we didn’t want to hurt them and similar things.
Our animal brothers and sisters peered at us as though they were unsure what they should think about this. Near this strange picture for them, lay some apples which they had grown to really like in the meantime. It seemed as if they were taking these new impressions into their picture, because they drew closer very cautiously – but today, with bristling hair. In the twilight, I saw how their eyes gleamed. They took the apples – and with a rush, they disappeared into the woods.
But no matter, after all, the two-legged creatures had at least managed to show themselves as such.

With further expeditions, we kept exactly to the instructions of our spiritual helper who advised us that I should move outside of the jeep little by little, until I stood totally outside of the jeep, but still close to it.
Another message more or less told us, “If you want to gain the trust of the wild pigs, you cannot wash your outer clothes for a while.”
We three looked at each other and couldn’t refrain from smiling: “This gets better and better!” But the instruction was understandable, because the language of animals is smell, sound and picture.
Our outer clothes were now no longer washed. On our next excursions, we would joke, “Into the wild-pig garb – for the sake of unity!”
Spring began to announce its coming and I, the two-legged creature, now stood outside, some steps away from the jeep. “Now here I stand, poor fool, just as knowledgeable as before!”
Wanting to know better than nature and the animal world is something we three had long since given up. With every expedition we were privileged to experience and learn that the animals are much smarter than human beings, who are of the opinion that they are the “ace” of creation.
Pride goeth before fall, as the saying goes. This is how it began in the eternal kingdom when one being thought it should be God. The “gods” from earlier times fell into their own world of conceptions, and the “gods” of today are prisoners of their own ideas of how it should be, but isn’t. For when we human beings observe the chaos of this world, then – if we are honest about it – we must beat on our own breast and say: “It’s our fault.” No one should think himself the exception. Each one of us is more or less a part of the Fall, and this has led to a breakdown of all morals and values.
The ones who bear the suffering and sorrow from this narrow, egotistical Fall-consciousness are solely the innocent animals and nature. Animals and nature, actually, all of Mother Earth, did not have a part in the breakdown of the morals and values of human beings and their conceptions of how it should be and yet isn’t. To many a follower of Jesus, this is why it is very important to make amends to the animals and to nature – even if only on a very small area of the Earth – for what the cruel bloke, the human, did to them.
In a small realm for nature and animals, the animals should again find a home for themselves, and people, who are the big brothers and sisters of the animals, should again find unity with the world of animals and plants, with the Mother Earth. God, the eternal Spirit, is the unity and is not the work of darkness. Our goal, as friends, as brothers and sisters, is to go to our animal brothers and sisters and, as human brothers and sisters, expose ourselves to them without reservation so that we become one with them again.
Now I, the two-legged one, stood a few steps away from the four-legged creature and kept talking in the same tone, whether I saw an animal or not. The blackbirds, that began very gradually to absorb an inkling of spring, suddenly began to screech. They flew here and there, very disturbed. What was going on? Soon the wild pigs showed themselves. Strange – no “woof.” They merely stepped around me and continued.
From the jeep came the cautious voice of one of my companions: “Stay quiet. Just turn your eyes to the left.”
What did I see? A wild pig mother with her six young. In hunters jargon they call them the wild sow and her piglets. The mother was very fearful and worried about her young. When she saw me, she turned back with her children and disappeared for that day.
Days and weeks went by in the countryside. The animal world got used to our presence, each time a tiny bit more. The “four-legged creature,” the jeep, and its noise soon became known in the woods. Hares, deer, squirrels and even the “feared” wild pigs no longer ran from it. The birds remained sitting on the hanging branches of the trees and bushes and didn’t let themselves be disturbed as they took their meals on the “veranda” of their feeding house. Only the two-legged creatures were still suspect to them. Probably the animals of the woods and fields couldn’t just simply accept that a small group of humans, of all things, just wanted to be their friends.
There could be so much more to report, because every expedition brought with it new experiences with nature and animals. Even so, I want to limit myself to the important occurrences, which may help friends of nature and animals to understand why animals have become as they now are, and that they learn and understand relatively quickly and change their behavior if one meets them without reservation, gaining their trust with a lot of persistence, patience and kindness.
We didn’t merely learn that the animals act differently in spring and summer than they do in Fall and winter – the Spirit of nature also kept helping with hints and suggestions. For example, we learned that animals need a lot of protection and that thick hedges and undergrowth in the woods are secure places for them.
During the Fall, many brothers and sisters began to lay out so-called Benjes-hedges and tree islands, stone and water biotopes. Soon a corresponding part of the animal world moved in. Ever more small and tiny animals come to the peaceable land and find protection and a home in the many Benjes-hedges, which all together, now measure twelve kilometers in length, edging the fields.
In the woods and on the edges of the Benjes-hedges, water containers are set out, which each day are filled by a different animal friend, because fresh water is constantly welcomed by the large and small animals, including insects.

A worthy home
for sheep and Highland cattle

In an informational brochure of the Gabriele Foundation, The Saamlinic Work of Neighborly Love for Nature and Animals, is described among other things, the events that led to the rescue of a small flock of sheep and a family of Highland cattle. Since they are examples of how the Original Christians in Universal Life are active and go to work for the benefit of their fellow creatures, their “second neighbors,” I would like to print these two occurrences for you, dear friends, in this Gabriele Letter:

“How a small flock of sheep was rescued and found a new home

Much is possible, when animal friends go through their days with alert eyes. For example, on their way to work they can become aware of a flock of sheep standing out in icy cold weather without any kind of protection – and that have to give birth to their young in the snow. If an animal friend with a heart had not intervened, the baby lambs would not have survived the following night.
The mother and her young and all the other sheep could be rescued and brought to the haven for peace “Home for Animals” and have recovered well. They will eventually be taken to the peaceable land where they will be settled into their final home. A roomy sheep stable is being built and a lot of pastureland is waiting for them.
The whole thing started in the following way...

It was deep winter at the beginning of January 2003. For some days, ice-cold temperatures prevailed and snow had fallen. It was on such a cold day that an animal friend called us at Johannes Farm. On her way to work she had discovered five sheep and several little lambs in the middle of an open, unprotected field. Judging by the largest, these little lambs could only be a few days old.
But far and wide there was no shelter to be seen, nor straw or hay or water for them. The animal friend then discovered in the small flock two tiny black babies lying in the snow between the mother animals – two newborn lambs with thin, black fleece. The mother sheep were licking their young and trying to move them to stand up in the snow. One mother was visibly weakened from the strain of the last few winter days and probably from the birth as well, because it kept tripping over its front legs and falling headlong into the snow. The newborn lambs tried valiantly to sort out their relatively long legs and stand up.

Fast action can save lives

It was immediately clear to us that the owner was not only neglecting his obligation to care for the sheep, but that it was downright animal-torture to simply leave the small flock of sheep with the newborns to themselves under these conditions.
We immediately called the police. They passed this on to the appropriate veterinary office. The owner of the sheep was known to the people who worked there – some time before, they had already forbidden him to keep animals. Some hours later, when the owner wasn’t willing to build the sheep a shelter, we offered the veterinary office the possibility of our taking in the sheep. A trailer was immediately made ready for their transportation and we took off for the pasture.
It was already getting dark when we got there. The small flock moved restlessly in the snow and watched us. But it didn’t take long for them to get in the trailer.
Once we arrived at the farm, we quickly converted a part of the large horse barn into a comfortable sheep stall. We spread out a lot of straw, set out fresh hay and water, and hung up warming lamps.

The small flock of sheep moved right into the stall and from the first moment felt visibly well in it.
Our veterinarian joined us right away to examine the sheep. She diagnosed undernourishment in all the mother sheep as well as badly maintained hooves. One mother sheep was lame, another had an ulcerated udder that was infected. Her newborn lamb was starving, so we gave it substitute mother’s milk in a bottle which it took gladly. The veterinary office couldn’t again forbid the previous owner from keeping animals, since in such cases, animals have no rights and as such, are treated as “commodities.” So we had no other choice than to buy the sheep from their keeper, because otherwise, we would have had to give them back to him. That would have meant certain death – at least for the little lambs – because they soon would have been taken to the slaughterhouse.

A family life worthy of sheep

Meanwhile, the sheep family has been living for some time at “Home for Animals.” The health condition of the sheep mother has improved dramatically. The small lambs frolic about in the shelter frisky as can be and then snuggle closely together under the warming lamp. But that’s not all: Soon the small flock will be transferred to their permanent home on the peaceable area of land – safe and with a lot of living space. There a large sheep stable is being built for them where they and many other sheep will find a home and security.

Highland cattle find a home on the peaceable land

This is Chasry, a small Highland calf that would no longer be living if some animal friends hadn’t acted quickly. Again, it was Gabriele who recognized the need of the small calf and its parents and gave the impetus for their rescue. And, as always, it was she who at first spoke eye to eye with the bull Maese, helping him to understand that no more suffering would be caused to him and his family.

Today, the Maese family lives in a beautiful meadow on the peaceable land. Chasry frolics over the grass and explores the little woods standing directly on the edge of the pasture...

Let us imagine that it is cold, rainy, icy and snowing. There is a pasture next to one of the roads in the area. Large and small vehicles drive by constantly – day and night.
On the pasture three Highland cattle are standing – with hanging ears – a bull and two cows about 10 years old. They are mourning the 15 cows that were picked up in a large cattle- transport and driven toward the slaughterhouse, and they are visibly suffering under the inclement weather conditions. The hay lies in a hayrack onto which the rain pours and the small wooden hut on the second pasture is very uncomfortable and actually, doesn’t have enough room to accommodate the large bodies with all their horns.

We – our sister Gabriele and some others – drive by every day on our way to the woods of the peaceable land, and Gabriele constantly asks if anyone takes care of these animals. A call to the owner brings a terse answer: They are descended from Auroch cattle that are accustomed to such conditions. But, of course, no one thinks about the fact that unfortunately, such original conditions desired by God are no longer found on the Earth. And no one thinks about the fact that through devastating environmental pollution, the trace elements, minerals and enzymes no longer are available in nature to free-living animals who need them in order to flourish. Their coat becomes dull through acid rain, their hooves soft through the lack of minerals. And so, the cold and wet penetrate their bodies – and the animals suffer, just as we humans would ...
When the weather remained inclement for a long period of time, we dared to take another step. We asked the owner if we could lay some straw in their hut. He allowed us to do this, and already on the first day after this, the three large animals squeezed into the hut...

How could we help the animals?

Through these thoughts and experiences, the desire grew in us to be able to care for the animals on the peaceable land. A conversation with the owner gave us to understand that once their subsidy ran out, they would soon be going to slaughter.
Of course, our immediate reaction against killing was awakened. After some tough negotiating, we were promised that we could purchase these magnificent animals.
The price was calculated based on their live weight, the slaughter premium and the purchase of the old food rack. A farmer who produces beef knows how to make money and is able to empty our pockets very well.
We accepted because the alternative was the slaughterhouse – and in face of this, anyone who has any feelings for the animals would certainly have done the same.
The joy was great and we received – of course, through the divine Wisdom – the names for the Highland cattle: Maese, Rika and Rine.

Eye to eye with the bull Maese

Directly after we were promised their purchase, we drove to the animals. Gabriele called them by their name – and just imagine: The magnificent bull Maese interrupts his grazing right then, looks up and walks directly to Gabriele who had some things to tell him: That we will fence in a large pasture for him and his cows and build a large shelter for them; that he and his own will receive plenty of variety in their food; that they will be able to protect themselves from the sun in a small woods, in the shade of high trees; that they will get a small water pool where they can cool off their feet – and what is so very important – that as long as they live, they will never have to go to the slaughterhouse. Maese understands, is content and continues to graze.
As we drove by again on a Sunday evening, we made a joyful discovery: A calf had been born and was seeking the mother’s udder. The udder was very large, but the calf couldn’t get to it because it was hanging too low to the ground…
We called a brother who knew something about cows and had already taken care of Highland cattle at the haven for peace. He noticed at once that something wasn’t right and asked the veterinary and a Highland cattle breeder and came to the conclusion that mother and child must be brought quickly to the farm sanctuary, otherwise the newborn would die. Said and done! With a lot of patience – and admittedly with a bit of fear and concern – it was possible to bring mother and child onto a wagon that drove them to the farm.

The danger has passed

There, the brothers and sisters built a frame in which they could milk the Highland cow and give her milk to the calf. That, too, was successful and the little calf “Chasry” grew livelier day by day. When we could see that Chasry was able to drink a goodly quantity of mother’s milk, we all breathed easier: The danger had passed. After we told the owner about this, he said that the previous year a calf had died, probably because of a same or similar difficulty.

Meanwhile, on the peaceable land the work went on day and night to fence in a large pasture, to build a shelter and install water. Family Maese can now move in…
To bring the animals in a transport is not so easy. Their memories of the transport that took their family members to the slaughterhouse are still pretty fresh. But with a lot of patience and trust in the help of the nature beings, resettlement in their new surroundings was made possible.
Once arrived, Maese and Rine inspected their new home with a lot of interest. The assurance that they would never have to leave again gave them a sense of trust and they immediately explored their woods, the large pasture and their beautiful new home.
On the hot days that followed, they “cleared out” their small neck of the woods very thoroughly, and we came to realize that Highland cattle also need leaves and branches in order to flourish.
They are feeling visibly well, are beginning to trust the brothers and sisters that care for them and are interested in all the craftsman activities taking place around them. During the evenings, the upper pasture is inspected, and the wide view and probably the tranquillity and almost “holy stillness” of this small area of the Earth is enjoyed.

Family Maese is complete again

It’s time to bring the family together again. Rika and Chasry are brought to Maese and Rine. Seeing each other again causes the otherwise very calm and deliberate animals to gallop joyfully around the whole pasture. And now the family is complete, the calf totally accepted without question.
Now they graze together, chewing their cud in the shadow of the large trees and enjoying the cool air on their feet and legs… From their human brothers and sisters they always receive some treats which they gladly accept from the two-legged ones. They are happy animals, and bring a lot of joy to their human brothers and sisters as well as to the nature beings and the rest of the inhabitants of the peaceable land…
Surprise: At the beginning of July, Rine also gave birth to a child – Family Maese is happy and we human brothers and sisters as well.”

Deer, fox and hedgehog mothers show us their children.
Mother Earth is patient and forbearing with the animals

The three of us continued to have experiences in our “four-legged creature.”
Time just speeds up and the hours fly by. The warmer season has the scepter in its hands now.
What we learned and what is still important even today for us was that we could not leave the jeep and move about without talking. In their language of pictures, which is a pictorial communication, animals store the sound, that is, the sound of the voice as well as the smell, form and movement, all the life processes of others from their species and of all other living beings, including humans.
On our excursions, the three of us wore our “wild pig garb” for several more weeks. Over and over again we experienced the mothers, the sows, and their piglets, their children. At a certain distance – they were still rather shy – they would go by us even when I, a two-legged creature, stood outside of the car or sat on my small folding stool.
In the pocket of my jacket, I carried one or two apples that I very slowly rolled in the direction I had seen the animals take. In this way, they were able to feel that I was their friend. Over the course of some weeks, the mother animals, the sows, came, cautiously and curiously, closer and closer, and the little ones, their piglets, hopped and cavorted about as if to say: “We’re doing well.”
We were able to experience how they grew and the stripes on their fur gradually faded away. It is on these stripes that one can recognize that they are still children who drink their mother’s milk.
spring showed itself in all its splendor. Here and there squirrels could be seen and the many deer that we encountered on our expeditions gradually shed their winter coats. The birds accompanied the awakening of nature with their song, announcing the coming time of pairing, and were filled with expectant joy over their coming nature children that would be hatching from incubated eggs.
We three also changed our “smelly” wild pig garb for clean and lighter clothes.
Whether spring, summer, fall or winter – we never got tired of going on our expeditions.

With the help of the great Spirit of nature I learned the communicative pictorial language between animals, nature and the impulses of the minerals more and more. The pictorial language of the nature kingdoms is a mighty weaving and threading, an orchestra, like a symphony, where every little flower, every mighty tree, every form of nature, of the animals, the plants, but also of the stones, comes into accord with one another.
Besides, I learned that all forms of life in nature, including the world of animals and of minerals, not only communicate with one another, but that all of them are also in unity with the four elemental forces of fire, water, earth and air.
The nature kingdoms and the elements are forces in balance. Human beings interfered in the symbiosis of life, in the collaboration of all forces and disturbed, and still disturb, the order in it. The human being is a great troublemaker. Through his disorder and his warlike attitude against the planet Earth he causes natural disasters, epidemics and pestilences, suffering and misery in the animal world, and last, but not least, all to the detriment of mankind.
During spring an alert observer of nature experiences a very unique burst of forces. All animals are in a very joyful mood. The forests and fields are filled with the life of young animals. Even in the trees, the joyful twittering is intensified. These are the young birds which now take up their shorter and longer flight routes.
Time truly speeds by as if in flight. spring was already passing into summer. During this transitional period, the deer drew closer and presented their Bambis to us. The mother would point to her children with her nose. Then she would raise her head and looked at us joyfully and trustingly. With this gesture she showed us her children.
Even the birds became more trusting toward us. We could clearly see that the young animals – that is, the next generation – were less shy toward us than their parents. The mother fox who in winter had taken an apple near the jeep and eaten it thankfully before our eyes now came toward us to present us with her young. We three passengers of the “four-legged” creature stayed near the jeep, which didn’t disturb her. She trusted us two-legged creatures, the human beings! The fox children romped and cavorted about. During their play, they also sprang toward us, which the mother tolerated. The fox mother looked around with the question: “Do you have an apple?” We did, which we rolled toward her. She took it, turned toward the woods and gave a subtle signal. The little ones looked up, heard their mother and ran after her.
The hedgehog, which had taken some apple pieces during the Fall, also showed us her little, bristly children. The hares hopped out of the Benjes hedges and played in the warming sun. Only the wild pigs stayed a further distance apart. Why? Our summer clothing disturbed their scent-picture. Besides, we noticed that they sought out more and more the fields that offered them the nutrients they needed so that they could absorb and store them in their bodies to survive the winter months.
Meanwhile, now two jeeps are driving. The one is the “four-legged creature,” our expedition jeep, and the other brings fresh water for all the animals on the fields and in the woods. During the summer, fresh water is particularly favored – and necessary. The watering containers are so shaped that even the small animals, for example, the birds, squirrels, mice and many others, including the smallest of animals, can refresh themselves without danger of drowning in the fresh water.
The communication between nature and animals, as seen from the human viewpoint, is something special, because nature grants the animals everything, including the destruction of a tree, for example, when a large animal snaps a tree in half or breaks off branches and twigs or crushes flowers and grasses underfoot, and much more. The arguments of people would sound like the following: “Nature cannot defend itself” or “The animal doesn’t know that it should stop doing that; it only has an instinct” or “Nature is, after all, without a soul, just like the animals.” The arrogant, egocentric human is of the opinion that “everything serves only me, the human, the crown of creation.”
The “crown of creation” knows neither the Creator of Earth and infinity, nor does the crown of creation recognize the Earth as a living organism, which, as long as it remains in balance, is there for human beings and not against them. But since the human being, the “crown of creation,” disdains Mother Earth and goes against her, over time, Mother Earth will no longer permit everything that humans have done until now to the great Earth person. The “Earth person,” Mother Earth, will give back to human beings what their share is. The “crown of creation” will then go under and Mother Earth will be victorious.

Mother Earth is truly like a loving mother to her children. When the children crush underfoot grasses and flowers or small trees here or there or break off twigs and branches, she will not react like a hysterical person. They are, after all, still children and aren’t doing it maliciously. Animal children do not wantonly destroy great tracts of land like humans do. They do not destroy the rain forests or clear huge tracts of forest or start forest fires for their own profit. They do not poison the fields with liquid and solid manure or harmful chemicals like humans do. They do not pollute the waters nor do they pollute the air.
The animals of the forests and fields hardly cause any damage. Human beings are the parasite, a monster that destroys everything, but everything, and at that, so he thinks, for his own benefit. But not in reality. It will prove to be more and more to his sorrow.
When one is able to listen in on the communicative orchestra, the interplay of the elements, of nature, of the animals with Mother Earth, then even as a human being one can feel that the animals cause no harm to nature. Mother Earth is forbearing, because the children, the animals, cause her no difficulties. The Earth is constantly striving to keep the balance between nature, animals and minerals. What an animal damages here or there is so slight to Mother Earth, that what an animal claims for itself she lets grow somewhere else.

Nature gives to the one who gives
selflessly to the animals

I remember the statement of a farmer that proves this: Within the surrounding area of his farm, he put some grain fields at the disposal of the animals instead of harvesting them. What the animals took for their needs from these fields wasn’t exactly little, particularly when the wild pigs romped about in them. This farmer, however, could see that the yield from the other fields had risen quite a bit, so that at the end of the harvest season, he had a larger yield than the year before. This shows quite clearly that Mother Earth not only balances out selfless gifts to the animals, she even rewards the friend of nature, giving him even more than he gave.

Especially during summer months, the animals show us that they are very closely connected with Mother Earth and Mother Earth with them, her children of nature. She, Mother Earth, is kind; her children may run across the lush wood meadows, they may run through the thicket that bears its leaf-work and offers the animals shade, protection and sleeping places. Mother Earth allows the children of nature everything; she denies them no place. But it is totally different when the animals of the woods and of the fields encounter humans who are of the erroneous opinion that a piece of land, a part of Mother Earth, belongs to them. Then, mostly there is no amicable, that is, kind, agreement; instead, the people insist on their supposed rights, their claims; defense measures are taken, all those things that lead to discord, chaos and a lot of commotion.
Not all people cling to the standpoint that the land they work is exclusively and only for them, unless they belong to a denominational regime. With some fruit farmers, we observed that the wild pigs made free with the fruit in the orchard, taking fresh, juicy apples from the low-hanging espalier fruit trees and churning up the earth in the gooseberry and current fields to harvest the fallen, overripe fruits. The fruit farmers smiled and were even happy about this. They also allowed many squirrels to harvest walnuts from a walnut tree, one after the other, thus preparing for winter. Why did they smile and were so happy? Why didn’t they act like the other farmers, who think that when an animal lingers on their fields it has to be shot down by a hunter? Not all farmers have a heart of stone. Many a one knows that one can see, hear and experience well only with the heart, for God’s nature kingdom is unity between humans, animals, plants and stones.
These fruit farmers and the farmers who are for nature and animals told us that they have many experiences with the animals. The latter, for example, helped them with their farming. To them, the animals are much more helpful than even a plow or hoe. Their inner conviction that God is the Creator of all living beings makes it possible for them to act in such a way, since every living being is a part of the creation of God. God knows what the individual thinks and why he is for nature and the animals, for the Creator and His creation.
It is different for many farmers who are bound to their denominations. Like the leaders of their church, they think that God is responsible for everything, including the chaos, and that they, the farmers, are in the best hands, because the preachers of their churches indirectly preach about a demonic God, who punishes and condemns all those who do not follow the teachings of the church, who destroys everything that does not serve their dark realm, as, for example, the people who align with the Kingdom of God and pray to a Creator of order and eternity. In this stereotypical picture the preachers have, the animals, nature, even all of Mother Earth, only have a place that is marked with disparagement and disdain. At most, they are accepted as profit-making entities for the human exploiter.
Whoever does not know himself to be a guest on Earth, whoever believes he can make God responsible for all the chaos, serves the denominational preachers, the vassals, who are of the opinion that they and their kind are the crown of creation. Whoever professes to this carries the same stamp as his denominational role models in black, white or red robes.

Again, the season changed. Very gradually summer reached into Fall. We expedition enthusiasts were underway to observe and learn as at every season. Again the days grew shorter, so that we two-legged creatures had to adjust ourselves. because when late in the evening – as dusk fell upon the fields and woods – we still lingered outside in nature, we heard the roebuck calling. From the kingdom of All-wisdom, we learned that many birds, among other animals, also the roebuck, were warning us humans to leave the woods as darkness fell, so that the inhabitants of the woods and fields could find their rest, and go to sleep undisturbed.
Based on spiritual knowledge and our own experience, we changed our outings to late afternoon. Like the year before, we again were privileged to experience the animals as they prepared for winter by laying in their stores. We drove our “four-legged creature,” the jeep, over the fields and through the woods several hours earlier than during the summer months. Encouraged by two years of many different experiences, we went by foot more and more often, so that the animals could get used to the two-legged creatures, us human beings. They began to take us into their experience pictures. We recognized this by the fact that the hares and deer no longer took flight as before. Nevertheless, as a security measure, they kept and still keep a short distance from us humans. Even the birds did not and do not fly away in fear when they see us two-legged creatures.

In the meantime, we have come to know the places where certain species of birds gather or where the deer come together. We respect their homes and the places where they meet, because we have learned to understand the behavioral patterns of their species. In this way, we remain at a distance that is due them, and do not disturb their life and the activity that corresponds to their species.
Many, very many animal species that we had missed during the summer could suddenly be seen again, in the Benjes hedges, on the fields and in the woods.
What we did not encounter at this point were the wild pigs. We asked about this and the answer was given that the wild pigs were still in the fields not yet harvested. Later, when the fields had been harvested, they would return to the woods to eat acorns, hazelnuts, beechnuts, everything the woods offered, in order to enrich their bodies with the necessary substances that would help them somewhat to survive the winter. To this explanation we three added the following: … because, generally speaking, they have nothing good or beneficial to expect from humans – who should be their friends and bigger brothers and sisters – and if they do receive something, then simply garbage or corn from hunters who deliberately lure the wild pigs, for example, to then shoot them down in an underhanded fashion. The picture that most animals have of human beings is marked by their unpredictable, malicious, brutal behavior, by the killing and cannibalistic consumption of the bodies of their species’ brothers and sisters that were mercilessly hunted and slaughtered and that can be found as serving portions on the market shelves of meats and cold cuts.

To become friends with the animals of the woods and fields, a great deal of patience and persistence is necessary. This task requires devotion. It can be fulfilled only with conscientiousness, earnestness – and unconditionally. Every hectic reaction on our part calls up fright and flight on their part. If we went too quickly, if we turned too jerkily or moved our arms in an unusual way for them, the animals would run or fly away. We had to learn to totally discipline ourselves, including our thoughts, on the one hand because thoughts control the reactions of the body, and on the other hand, because the contents of thoughts can be registered by the animals in their “scent pictures.”
As already mentioned, animals communicate via the language of pictures. Animals form pictures of positions and places, of different animal species and of us human beings as well. Specific reactions and body movements are registered. If, for example, a movement – particularly when made by us humans – does not correspond to the sequence of their pictures, then they flee from us, or even attack if they feel they are stronger than the intruder.
On our drives and walks, we experienced the permanent fear of the animals. Every one of our reactions that could not be placed by them, set them into panic. This was a motivation for us to address each other every time we slipped from the awareness of unity.

How Thyrinus and I
became friends

Now the grain harvest had been brought in for the most part. On the fields only those fruits could be found that were still being harvested during the days in which summer passed on the scepter to autumn. This is also true for the late varieties of apples in the farm’s orchards. The industriousness of many animals let us recognize that the year was already drawing to a close.
With the scouting eyes that we had developed during the many expeditions we had taken, on one of our drives we recognized wild pigs moving toward the woods in the distance. We called each other’s attention to them and talked about how we should behave. We quickly came to an agreement. We again took up the position we had held during the previous winter. My two companions remained in the jeep while I sat outside on a small folding stool in a clearing in the woods near the wild pig path.
It took days, until the wild pigs again took this path. The family of pigs, the herd, that wanted to use the path, was very shy. As soon as they noticed us, they quickly went back into the woods. We were quite astonished by their looks, because the little ones from the previous spring no longer had any stripes on their backs. They had grown into young animals; one could describe them as young “hooligans,” because that’s also how they behaved.
We kept to our agreement to stick it out and not give up our position. Wild pigs are very clever animals. Probably the pictures from the previous winter and spring suddenly flared up, because all of a sudden they did come by and took the apple pieces prepared for them and – without letting us out of their eyesight – continued on.
Suddenly a young boar separated from the herd and came without shyness toward me as I sat on my folding stool. I spoke to him with calming words in a corresponding tone. He circled me and drew ever closer. Now, he remained standing behind my back as if he wanted to test my reaction. I didn’t move. He sniffed at me and in so doing, laid his nose, which I often kiddingly describe as a plug, on my back. I encouraged myself by telling myself to remain quietly sitting and not move!
The young boar gave me a light push, walked around me and then stood squarely in front of me, apparently quite self-confident and fearless. He took a long look at me while his clever eyes twinkled. I talked and talked to him, and he just looked at me. In the same, monotone voice, I asked a question: “What are you called by your invisible friends and helpers?” As mentioned, one can see and hear well only with the heart. I heard the word in me, with which the invisible friends addressed him: “Thyrinus.” I spoke this word out loud: “Thyrinus.”
This word, which is only vibration, a frequency, for the animals, was understood by the young boar. He moved his head in an odd way and came some steps toward me. I held a piece of apple in my hand. Carefully I opened my left hand and placed the piece of apple on the ground. He suddenly took some steps backward, looked at me and watched his surroundings in a thoughtful, considering way. Again he approached me and carefully and neatly took the piece of apple. The ice was broken! Thyrinus and I became friends.
My companions watched this picture and said: “We were just waiting to interfere the minute he attacked!” But animals are cleverer than people. Many animals weigh things before attacking. Thyrinus had first explored all possibilities before acting.
Slowly and carefully he turned away from me, joined his half-grown brothers and sisters and disappeared with them without a sound.

The three of us got braver and braver. With the expeditions that followed, we changed the picture again. Both my companions stood behind the jeep and I sat down on my folding stool in the middle of the wild pig path.
Today, no wild pigs showed up, but instead, a squirrel that perched on my right shoulder to watch this odd figure from close up, because it was this particular squirrel that had already watched me quite often as I laid out walnuts near the branch from where it looked down on me. In my pocket I had – as always – a few delicacies for just in case, like slices of apple, walnuts and sunflower seeds.
The lively squirrel slipped nimbly from one shoulder to the other and looked down at my hands as if to ask: “Do you have a walnut for me?” Of course I had one. The only problem was that it was still in my jacket pocket, and any movement could frighten the little animal. As it again moved in a skillful fashion across my back to the other side – whereby its sharp “fingers” could clearly be felt through my clothing – I carefully took a walnut from my pocket and rolled it around on the palm of my hand. When the industrious little forest animal saw the walnut, it climbed down to my hand, quickly and adroitly took the gift, sprang to the ground and to the next tree, which it then climbed so that it could open the acquired nut.
There is so much more to tell about. We were granted a fullness of experiences, from which I want to take only a few so that you, dear friends, can share in them with us.
For example, different bird species flew by in family groups, most of which settled on the different bushes and trees. But some of them landed on my open hand, to take the sunflower seeds lying there. It is a wonderful picture, being still, learning, being thankful for what we were privileged to experience over and over again.

On our expeditionary drives, different species of animals were and are encountered, hares, deer, foxes, partridges and other animals. Over and over again, we were, and are, privileged to experience with deep joy and gratitude, that the animals have come to know the jeep, the “four-legged” one, and very gradually to gain confidence in us two-legged creatures.
And on the wild pig path, we were simply tolerated. The young boar, Thyrinus, came by every now and then, circled around me and looked me deep in the eyes as if he wanted to say: “We already know each other from eternity.”
However one day, he sniffed at me, took a few steps back and suddenly ran toward me and shoved me so strongly that I fell from my folding stool. Then he withdrew into the woods.
What hadn’t appealed to him? What wasn’t in order on me that disturbed his sense of smell? The three of us thought about it. And then, like scales falling from our eyes, we suddenly realized that I had washed my wild pig attire, and it smelled totally different! From this and other occurrences, we deduced that we may very well have gotten to be accepted by the animals, but that we were still far from being received by them. And so we kept to what we had done during the previous year: As long as we could stand it, we did not wash our forest clothing.

Thyrinus and his pupil,
the apple farmer

As we so often did, we started off again on another reconnaissance drive to have more experiences with the animal world and to learn more about the animals and nature. But then an apple farmer signaled me to come to him. He gestured, indicating with his hands that I should come slowly and speak calmly. As I did in the woods, I walked slowly and began to speak in a calm and monotone voice. What did I see? A wild pig – it was Thyrinus – who stood next to an apple tree and looked questioningly at it. As Thyrinus saw me, he moved somewhat to the side and laid down on the ground some rows of espalier fruit trees away.
Totally excited, the apple farmer told me that the wild pig had come to him and with his nose had pointed to the hoe with which he was working the soil between the rows of apple trees. Then the wild pig had withdrawn a few meters from the apple farmer and shown him how one should work the soil in the fruit orchard: With its nose, it prepared the soil and let the fruit farmer recognize that he should not dig so deeply into the soil.
For a whole week, Thyrinus daily came to the fruit farmer and called his attention to the fact that he should merely aerate the soil, that is, treat it with care. Thyrinus, however, also tested his “pupil.” Apples of very late variety were still hanging on the espalier fruit trees. Thyrinus took an apple from one of the low-hanging branches, and stole a glance at the fruit farmer, to see how he would react. The two-legged guy just melted. His heart was totally softened by the cleverness of this wild pig.
During these approximately eight days, when Thyrinus suddenly and unexpectedly appeared over and over again, he would lay himself on the ground one espalier tree row further down and watch his “pupil,” the fruit farmer, to see whether he had understood how one should treat Mother Earth. The brother, who was active in the fruit garden, proved to be a good pupil. When he finally knew what it was all about, that is to say, how he should work the soil, Thyrinus disappeared.
We met Thyrinus every now and then in the woods. He grew and became quite large. If a herd of pigs came and I called out “Thyrinus,” this wild pig would separate from his family group and come to us. The other family members watched the communication between Thyrinus and human, and between human and Thyrinus. Wild pigs are very clever and quick to learn. In time, the others also lost their shyness. Since then, they no longer run away when they hear the jeep or see or smell us.
A new fruit orchard was being planned. As it emerged, there developed a common desire to name this new orchard situated on a slope “Thyrinus Orchard.” This is what it is now called.

On our many drives, we could experience over and over again that the animals are very alert and attentive. They take note of all important occurrences and procedures that take place in the woods and on the fields. For example, foxes that had until now always avoided us, disappearing immediately into the dense undergrowth whenever they saw us, apparently accepted us after some time, eventually even taking us in. Their shy behavior, that always ended up in flight at the beginning, turned into curiosity.
The clever foxes, which had previously watched us from a distance, approached us until they were just a few meters away, and watched attentively how the other animals acted toward us. Every animal is totally different from the others in its perceptions and reactions. For example, when I give an apple a small push so that it rolls in the direction of the foxes, the one takes flight, the other stays, fetches the apple and disappears with it into nearby bushes.

Time passes. This is just the way it is on the Earth. Nature changed its garments. Now, it was draped in its autumn robes. The elements also showed the change of seasons. The wind, for example, had become cooler and more raw. On our reconnaissance drives, we three had decided to no longer go into the woods and fields surrounded by the fumes of our unwashed clothes. Our jeep was washed and we chose our clothes according to the actual weather conditions.
Our expeditions over the fields and through the woods to the trees and bushes, to the animals in the woods and fields were, and still are, dear to our hearts. Our motto still is today: Don’t want anything – simply be there. For one must learn and it is only with the heart that one can learn well. Why? Because the heart of the soul is the love of God, the Creator, which flows through and drenches with sun all living beings and life forms of nature, yes, all of Mother Earth.

The most important principles of our learning process are the following:
Cause no suffering to any living being.
Do not deliberately kill a living being.
Do not consume the carcass of your animal brother or sister – do not be an animal cannibal.
Do not pick a flower when it is in full bloom – it is your little sister from the kingdom of nature.
Do not deliberately break off a twig or branch from the trees or bushes – for these are your nature brothers.
Do not willfully, or for reasons of profit, separate the trunk of a tree from Mother Earth – in this way you separate yourself from the Creator, for He let the tree grow; He gave it life.
You, the human being, do not have the right to violate nature and kill animals – you have given life to neither nature nor the animals.

The following lawful principle from the eternal All-law of creation holds for every person: What you do to the least of these creatures, you do to the Creator and to yourself.
During this autumn we experienced similar things as in the previous year. The world of the animals prepared itself for winter. We also increasingly wore warmer clothing, particularly when we left the “four-legged creature,” the jeep, and went walking over the fields and through the woods as two-legged creatures. After many expeditions, the animals who saw us over and over again gained confidence. We were accepted, no matter what clothing we wore or how often we changed it.
Even the brothers and sisters in the second jeep, the water drivers, who had similar experiences as we did, could now move around freely. Nevertheless, and that was and is our highest priority: We had to, and still have to, move slowly, that is, walk harmoniously. We could not and still cannot, even today, have overly loud conversations with one another, or gesture in a hasty or agitated way. Animals have a certain rhythm in their behavior, in their movements and reactions, that should be recognized, that is, sensed, by us human beings and upheld by us as much as possible. Under these terms, it is good.

Adventurous encounter with a powerful wild boar.
Animals want to be friends to us human beings,
because they know about unity

If we were to report in detail about all our encounters with the animals and our experiences with our brothers, the trees, with our sisters, the flowers, and with the four elements, we would need several volumes of books.
What particularly interested me was the behavior patterns of the wild pigs, because it is always said of them that they are extremely dangerous.
At the beginning of this winter, I again sat on my folding stool near the path of the wild pigs. My companions stood a few meters away from me in order to watch a squirrel that was preparing for hibernation. Suddenly and surprisingly, there was a rustling in the bushes. A powerful boar with four large, strong tusks, two above, and two below, stepped out. As he saw me sitting there, he assumed a posture like the bulls in the arena. He bent forward and pawed the ground with his front hoofs, just like a bull in the arena does before attacking. My companions understood too late what was happening, because the boar was already very close to me. In the firm resolve to attack me, he circled me. Suddenly, he shoved me quite strongly in the back so that I not only fell from the folding stool, but also felt his tusks in my back.
Now I lay there on the cold, wet ground in a cowering position, in quite a humble attitude, as often takes place in the animal kingdom to signal to the attacker the subordination of the weaker one. I spoke to the heart of my soul and asked for help to behave in the right way in this situation. It was only moments and then I perceived the voice of the heart that advised me to first remain lying there and to speak in a calm, monotone voice as we always did when the animals were near us. In this monotone, I also told my companions to stay quietly standing where they were. They reacted as if rooted to the spot in fright. The boar stood behind me as if he wanted to tell me: “So, now I will test you to see if you really are well-intentioned toward me!”
The voice of my heart, which is the inner life, said: “Without straightening up, take an apple out of your jacket pocket. Don’t stand up, or the boar will think you want to attack him.” I fished an apple as well as I could out of my pocket, which I let roll away from me while I remained in the posture of a devotee with bowed head and without standing up. It took quite a bit of effort to do this. The boar looked briefly at the rolling apple without letting me out of his sight. Speaking in a monotone, I remained in this humble position until the great, massive animal moved toward the apple and took it. His eyes blazed with fire toward me over and over again. With the apple, he walked majestically and without haste into the woods – and disappeared.
I stood up. The three of us took a few deep breaths. My feelings told me that I had stood the test – and so it was.
Some days later, as we were walking on foot through the woods we again met the boar. He came toward us and his eyes blazed as they had at our first encounter, as if to say: “Who wants to take me on today?” Suddenly he zeroed in on me and ran directly toward me. Immediately, I began to talk in a gentle and monotone voice. I greeted him and asked the question: “May I offer you an apple?” Probably our friend wanted to say, “Don’t ask! Just take it out of your jacket pocket!”; because without paying attention to my question, he simply pressed his nose on my pocket. He smelled the apple which I immediately placed on the ground for him. He took the fruit and walked confidently into the thicket of the woods.
The tension withdrew from us three. We just simply laughed heartily in relief.

Many encounters of these kinds showed and show us that the animals long for us human beings. They want to be our friends, because “instinctively,” they know about the All-unity, which is the great Spirit in all human beings as well as in all living beings and life forms of nature.
Spoken from the very basis of the soul, we can say that, by nature, there are no dangerous animals. We human beings have so frightened the animals through our behavior against life that many an animal attacks and perhaps even causes harm to a person. The animal doesn’t do this because it is dangerous, but because it is afraid and often “scents” our fear of it and our resulting behavior toward it. The fright, the fear triggers strong, emotional reactions in us: defensiveness, perhaps also resistance, that is, even aggressive emotions. This upsets an animal, particularly when we human beings have a carrion smell about us, because we kill its fellow species, or have them killed, in order to eat them.

A hurt wild boar allows itself
to be nursed back to health.
Tears of joy! A wild mother sow
accepted me as a human sister

The animals of the woods and fields are free-living animals. They are very closely linked with Mother Earth in their behavior. If we human beings leave them their freedom and are good to them, they very gradually draw closer to us, but only if they want this and if they can again leave, as they like. A moving encounter with a wild boar of about nine months shows this:

From the many experiences with the animals, I again reach for an important “anecdote,” an occurrence, that took place on an early sunny summer day, as I dressed myself for a walk through the woods. Before I left the house, I looked in the garden of our farmhouse – surely through the guidance of the Spirit of life. I couldn’t believe my eyes: In the garden stood a medium-sized boar, wobbly on three feet, thin and very weak. He could barely drag his emaciated body about. It was a pitiful sight. I immediately informed all brothers and sisters who worked on the farm to be careful and to not approach the weakened animal.
The young wild boar dragged himself with his last strength to a large spruce standing near the house. Clumsily he crept under the low-hanging branches of the tree and let himself fall to the ground. From the kitchen window we could watch this lamentable picture. The young patient laid his hurt leg on the ground, his head pointing toward the trunk of the tree.
Through many experiences with the so-called wild animals, we had grown ever more sensitive in our perception and in our behavior toward the animals. Besides, one can see, hear, feel and comprehend well with the heart.
My heart, the heart of my soul, helped us to behave correctly toward the animal, the patient. It was made clear to us that first of all the young wild boar needed quiet and recuperation, because he was under the greatest tension. Besides, he was afraid of human beings. The voice of the heart let us know that the sick animal had been led by divine beings to be near people, to the place, the spruce, the great tree brother, where he could receive healing from Mother Earth, from the soil and under the protection of the tree. We were advised to not go near the animal for some hours, until his fear and great pain had abated. Only then should we place some water and food a little further away from him.
The animal under the tree did not move. After several hours, one of us went very slowly toward the tree, speaking in a monotone – as we had done out in open nature – in order to bring water and food to the sick and suffering creature.
For days, the weakened patient took nothing; he just lay there, quiet and without movement.
The farm people watched him carefully and noticed one day that he had at least taken a different position. And the water was almost gone. But the bristling patient still didn’t want food.
On another day the farm people saw how the sick animal dragged himself to the water to drink. Now, he at least drank the fresh water brought to him every day. We named him Wasre.
After about ten days, Wasre changed his position so that he could watch us from under the tree that offered him some protection. He followed attentively as water and fresh food was brought to him.
One day, only a little was left of the grain and corn that had filled the bowl. We asked ourselves who had eaten from it? Wasre – or perhaps the peacocks that are at home everywhere on the farm grounds?
It didn’t take long until the riddle was solved: One of us just happened by as Wasre stood up under the spruce and dragged himself on three feet to the bowl with his food in it. He ate, drank and then, again with effort, withdrew under the wide-spread branches of the spruce. Now he lay more and more often in such a way that the warming sun could shine on his sick leg.
Upon our call, a doctor came who could watch him from a distance as he went to eat and drink. The doctor said: “The animal must have been caught in a trap like the hunters put out. When animals are caught in such murderous traps, they gradually die in a terrible and bestial way, as if they were being tortured.” We were so glad that Wasre had managed to free himself from the trap. Soon it became clear that luckily his leg was not broken, because he tried over and over again to set it more firmly on the ground.

After a few weeks during which Wasre was also able to closely watch us human beings from a distance, one of us went to him and spoke with him in a quiet, monotone voice. To our joy, the animal brother did not get frightened, but remained lying quietly. During the days that he had formed and stored a picture of us human beings for himself, Wasre had apparently gained the impression that these two-legged creatures meant and mean well by him. In this way, he became noticeably more trusting. From a secure distance in his resting place under the spruce tree, he squinted at us human beings with his alert eyes. From a distance determined by him, we respectfully addressed him with the name Wasre.
More weeks went by. Wasre could move his leg better and better, even though it was still quite a bit thinner and weaker than the others. He tried to set it on the ground and support himself with it. As the patient slowly recovered with great fortitude and patience, he started to explore his surroundings. At first, he left his place under the spruce only very briefly, taking a walk – still slowly and dragging his leg somewhat – to the chicken pen that was near his resting place at that time. Wasre looked at the chickens as if they were a totally new experience for him. Very quickly he noticed that the chicken feed lying outside of the pen when the chickens were running about tasted quite good, and he partook richly of it.
Our valiant convalescent stayed several weeks on the farm and got better day by day. Wasre still limped, but he could support himself on his hurt leg more and more. The young boar had meanwhile gained a lot of trust in us human beings, because now we could even touch him. Soon he was limping all over the farmyard and having a good time.
When Wasre could more or less walk around again, a friend from his original living sphere, a boar of his age, came visiting and after a few days, Wasre returned with his companion to the woods, although he was still limping.
During the time that followed, what became clear is that the picture of us human beings that Wasre had formed during his illness and convalescence did not fade away. Still today, after one and one-half years, Wasre comes to the farmyard every now and then to keep up his friendship with us human beings. Meanwhile, he has become a great big, mature boar with impressive tusks. Whoever doesn’t know him would be frightened by the large, imposing animal. But Wasre knows us, his human friends, and we know Wasre. He pricks up his ears when he hears his name called. When we call him, he comes to us – of course, only if he wants to! It’s good that way. Animals of the woods and fields need their absolute freedom.
When we go walking through the woods – whereby today, the smell of our clothes doesn’t play a role anymore, because the animals have our picture fully in their awareness, then it can be that totally unexpectedly and without fear, a boar comes toward us from the woods. Either it is Wasre or now and then Thyrinus, or it is the great big fellow who threw me to the ground to test me some time ago; we call him Adonis.

All animals are noble and of fine character. We humans have turned them into fearful and hunted living beings. We have taken their living space from them. Because we humans continue to decimate it – and this is why so many animals have to live together in severely restricted space – the government gives the command to shoot down a large part of our animal brothers and sisters, similarly to how the barn animals are treated, who are crammed together into the tightest of spaces, kept as slaughter animals, bearing the stamp of “soon to be killed by humans” from birth on, for the benefit of the human animal-cannibal.

Another occurrence, which I would like to share from the treasury of the many experiences and joys with the animals, is the communication with a wild pig, a sow, a mother with five young.
One sunny spring day, the sunset was shining through the woods, placing its whole brilliance on the fields, and I was again sitting at the edge of the woods near the wild pig path. I was simply enjoying the warm sunshine. A noise distracted me from my alignment and devotion to the warming sun rays. What was that and where did the noise come from? I listened into the woods and into the undergrowth and could not believe my eyes: A wild sow with her young came out of cover and stood about five meters away from me. The young squeaked in a lively fashion and scampered around their mother.
It actually was true! It really happened! Here, without fear, a caring animal mother, a wild sow, looked at me and waited to see whether I would talk to her. Before I could barely recover from my joy – tears of joy rolled down my cheeks – she pointed to her children with her nose. Now I began to talk to her and said: “Aren’t your children beautiful! I’m so happy about your healthy, merry little ones!” Again the animal mother indicated her children with her nose. Her movements and her behavior showed the love and care she felt for her offspring.
As she noticed that I had perceived her and her children and was so indescribably happy about it, she calmly and without haste returned to the woods with her children. Tears of joy ran down my face again because I had felt in me that she, the mother, had accepted me as her human sister. The wild pig mother was happy and glad to be able to show me her offspring! I thought how I would never forget this experience!
But this wasn’t the only one; a couple of days later another unexpected occurrence followed. The sow showed up again with her children. Without shyness she came toward me. Her children came with her. About two meters from me, she lay down on the ground and nursed her little ones. These simply tumbled about her stomach, grabbing at her breasts roughly with their mouths, and drinking from her nipples. The sow, the mother, permitted all the rough and tumble play of the children. Over and over again, as she lay there, she looked over to me as if she wanted to say: We animals also love our children. Our little ones have an understanding mother who allows a lot simply out of love for them.
What I was permitted to see and experience here remains in my heart. A wild pig mother, I named her Ceele, showed me, the human being, that animals, too, have feelings of love, that she, too, the animal mother, loves her children, cares for them, protects, feeds and takes care of them and also wants to experience how they grow up.

Many hunters shot and shoot down the animal mothers. Then the small ones starve if another animal mother doesn’t take them in her care. Who can tolerate or even condone such a thing? Only the cruel human without conscience, who watches out only for his own well-being.

Perhaps we can remember the words of Jesus from a Gospel outside of the Bible which has been quoted in the chapter Warning Voices Over the Millenia on page ???: “Woe to the hunters! For they themselves shall be hunted.” To this, in 1989 Christ explained the following in His mighty work of revelation This Is My Word (on page 143):

Until the sinful world has changed into the world of God, many human beings, animals and plants will still have to suffer from the stubbornness of the domineering man who opposes God’s creation.
However, all might and glory has been given by the Father to the Christ of God and never to the person who disregards the laws of God. Woe to the hunters, and woe to those who crave for meat! Both the hunters and those who, like cannibals, greedily consume the flesh of animals will be tormented and pursued by the anguish, suffering and pain of the animals. The same applies to those who violate the plant and mineral kingdoms. They, too, will suffer because of their sinful deeds. The person will harvest what he sows, either in his earthly life or as a soul in the spheres of purification. Therefore, watch your thoughts, words and deeds, for they can be your undoing.”

The “Black Majesty” speaks:
Subdue the Earth violently!

There would still be much that is wonderful and uplifting to report from our experiences. Unfortunately, we also weren’t spared the not-so-wonderful things, the bestial occurrences that took place. But I would rather not speak here about the fact that the hunters and butchers literally laid hands on our animal brothers and sisters and killed them in terribly cruel ways ...

Who bears the main guilt for the brutal and repulsive behavior against animals? The parties that are mainly guilty are the institutions of the churches that even bless the slaughtered animals and their two-legged killers and slaughterers. In the so-called Hubertus Mass one can recognize the “Black Majesty.” The next in line for guilt is the state, which subjugated itself to the “Black Majesty” to fulfill what the “voodoo experts” prescribe. But whoever points a finger at the “Black Majesty” and its servants should first ask himself whether he also isn’t a participant in guilt.
And to make it easier for those who want to find self-recognition, the following statements on fundamental spiritual principles of the law can be helpful.

Your true eternal Father to whom you pray in the Lord’s Prayer and to whom you will return as an immortal being through Jesus, the Christ, is the All-love.
In the All-love are contained freedom and unity, values of the eternal Being.
God, your Father, is the life in you, the human being, and in your immortal soul. God is the Creator of infinity, also the Creator of the planet Earth with all its living beings and life forms of nature, the animals, plants and minerals.
God is the power in the elements, which supply the Mother Earth with light, water and air.
God, your eternal Father, is the Omnipresence, because He, the All-life, is the All-love.
God is present in all of infinity.
The mighty movements of the stars, He, God, holds in His hands.
Because God is omnipresent, He is also the unity, the working together of all positive forces.
The positive forces are the life energies in all human beings, living beings and life forms of nature, in every planet.
And so, God breathes through you, the human being, through every animal, through all plants and minerals, through every star. The breath is the breath of God, the life.
Ask yourself: Do you have the right to take the life of a living being or of a life form of nature? Did you give life to any one of these beings?
For this reason, never kill an animal deliberately. Kill no tree, no plant. Do not rip them out of the Mother Earth or cut a tree down that is in sap, in full life.
Do not have the animals killed for you; they are your second neighbors, your animal brothers and sisters. Do not consume the carcass of your animal brothers and sisters. Do not be a cannibal of animals.
Do not beat any animals. Do not demand too much of an animal that works for you. Share the work with it and you will feel the animal’s affection.
Respect and cherish your life that is given to you by God, your Father. Respect and cherish all living beings and life forms, for they bear the same breath as you; it is the life.
Learn each day anew, to see yourself as a being in God, your Father, and then you will also get to know your animal brothers and sisters and all life forms of nature.
And when you are told that God called on us human beings that we should “subdue the Earth” – in the sense of dominating it and violently subduing it – then you know who you have before you: a member of the “Black Majesty.”
With the words that were passed down, “subdue the Earth,” God never meant the bestial behavior of many people, who take cruel and brutal action against the Earth planet, against nature, against animals, and not least, against human beings.
Happy is the one who fulfills the will of the All-Creator, our eternal, heavenly Father, out of love for Him. If God wanted things as people mean when they speak of “subduing the Earth,” then the Earth would be happy, and devoted to human beings. For, to people, “subdue the Earth” means to exploit Mother Earth, to torment and kill animals using the most bestial ways and means, to keep them in animal ghettos, to artificially inseminate them, to take their baby calves from them so that mankind has enough milk and cheese, to kill thousands upon thousands daily, so that the human cannibal of animals can consume the carcasses of the animals. “Subdue the Earth” would then also mean that it would be the will of God that the farmers pour the worse poisons on the fields and kill countless small animals and micro-organisms. The Earth would have been happy then, when devastating bombs fall during fratricidal wars and huge crater wounds are caused to the Earth, when people change the course of the waters, and build huge dams. Much more could be told about how human beings “subdue” the Earth, that is, how they torture, rape, violate, exploit, cripple, pollute and destroy the Earth and its nature.
If God had really meant “subdue the Earth” in this way, then Mother Earth would actually have to be content. But then, why do so many scientists say that the war of humans against nature cannot be won by human beings, that nature, and thus the Earth, will be victorious? What isn’t right here? How did God mean it to be, and how do human beings want it to be? Human beings always have an excuse. Seldom do they keep to the statements of truth which are also found in the Bible. Instead, they only pick this or that out that serves their own benefit, but which, as we can now see, will become their own woe.
The Earth is mother for humans, animals and nature. It bears countless fruits, which belong not only to human beings, but also to the animal world. The animals are a part of Mother Earth. Animals bear in themselves the awareness of their Creator, which is unity. They want to be friends to human beings. With their strength, they want to serve human beings. To serve also means that humans and animals should work together, whereby some animals have more strength than human beings. This strength, the animal gladly puts to work. God’s love is the unity.
Humans, animals and nature should live in unity and peace with each other; they should support each other, help and serve each other. Human beings should care for the woods and work the fields according to the order of life and in accordance with the divine will; this means that they should carry out a God-pleasing peaceable farming so that not only human beings can feed themselves from it, but also the animal world, which is a part of human beings, just as human being, animal and nature are a part of God, our eternal Father and Creator.

Free yourself from everything abominable that human beings do, even when it is presented as something to be taken for granted or justified, for example, in that it is tradition. Do not join in!
The Ten Commandments of God and the teachings of Jesus, the Christ, help you to gain far-sight and an overview of things, freedom and a deep empathy. Then you will be able to see, hear and feel well with your heart.
The wisdom from God is first the divine knowledge that people do not need a church made of stone because every person is himself the temple of God and the Spirit of his or her Father, of the Father of us all, dwells in this temple, in the person.
The heart of the soul is God.
With all my heart, I wish for all readers that they find their way to God in their own inner being, because then the gateway to the heart opens; then the heart of the soul, God, guides us; then, one can see, hear and feel well with the heart.

A heartfelt request
for nature and the animals

May I bring to you, all readers, a heartfelt request?
According to the desire of the inner heart that is the word of God, and with other brothers and sisters, I founded the Gabriele Foundation, the Saamlinic Work of Neighborly Love for Nature and Animals. Many people have taken on the task of giving a habitat again to the animals of the woods and fields where they can live in peace and quiet, according to their nature. But we have also made it our task to help the slaughter-animals in the animal ghettos by informing people via booklets, flyers, posters and billboards and asking them to no longer consume the meat of their animal brothers and sisters. At the same time, we offer vegetarian foods and instructions for vegetarian cooking, but also for a vegan and terran diet. But all this has a cost, above all, when we are trying to acquire more living space for the animals.
If many people were to simply give one Euro every now and then, or if it is possible for them to give even several Euro, then they are doing something truly good! Because every gift, whether small or large, belongs to the Mother Earth and its world of animals and plants.
I feel in my heart that many are helping to promote the work of neighborly love for nature and the animals. In advance, I want to thank you with all my heart, and certainly, Mother Earth, with all its living beings and life forms, the animals, plants and minerals, thanks you as well.

Unity shines in the hearts. Spoken from the heart, I wish for you that you may see, hear and feel with your heart, because only with God can one live well.
