ack greatly multiplied what in his own intuitive perceptions he awakensand sends forth, according to the nature of his volition.Thus man bears spiritually the responsibility for everything he does. Thisresponsibility begins already with the making of the resolution, not just withthe accomplished deed, which is but a consequence of the resolution. Andthe resolution is the awakening of an earnest volition!There is no division between this world and the so-called beyond, but allis only one single, immense existence. The whole mighty Creation, visibleand invisible to man, intermeshes like an amazingly ingenious, never-failingmechanism; it does not run side by side. Uniform Laws support the whole,penetrating everything like nerve-strands, holding it together and triggeringeach other in continuous interaction!When schools and churches speak of Heaven and Hell, of God and theDevil, this is right. It is wrong, however, to explain it as good and evilPowers. That must at once plunge every serious seeker into error and doubt,for where there are two Powers there must also logically be two Rulers,hence in this case two Gods, a good one and an evil one.And this is not the case!There is only one Creator, one God, and hence only one Power whichstreams through all that exists, animating and furthering it!This pure, creative Power of God flows constantly through the wholeCreation, lies in it, is inseparable from it. It is to be found everywhere: inthe air, in every drop of water, in the growing rock, the struggling plant,the animal, and naturally also in man. There is nothing where it would notbe.And just as it flows through everything, so it also streams unceasinglythrough man. Now the latter is so constituted that he resembles a lens. Justas a lens collects the sun’s rays streaming through it and passes them on inconcentrated form, so that the heat-giving rays, united on one spot, singeand set on fire, so man, by virtue of his specific nature, collects through hisintuitive perception the Power of Creation streaming through him, andpasses it on, concentrated through his thoughts.According to the nature of this intuitive perceiving and the thoughtsconnected with it, he thus directs the automatically acting creative Power ofGod to good or evil effect!And that is the responsibility man must bear! Therein also lies his free will!You who often seek so strenuously to find the right way, why do youmake it so hard for yourselves? In all simplicity picture to yourselves howthe pure Power of the Creator flows through you, and how you guide it withyour thoughts in a good or in an evil direction. There you have it all, withouttrouble and without racking your brain!Consider that it lies with your simple intuitive perceiving and thinkingwhether this mighty Power will call forth good or evil. What a furthering ordestructive power is thus given to you!You need not exert yourselves till you perspire, you need not convulsi ve -ly cling to some so-called occult practice in order to reach, through everyconceivable and inconceivable physical and spiritual contortion, some stagethat is completely worthless for your true spiritual upswing!Cease this time-wasting trifling, which has so often become painfultorment, signifying nothing else than the former self-scourgings andmortifications practised in the monasteries. It is only another form of thesame thing, which can bring you just as little gain.The so-called occult masters and pupils are modern Pharisees! In thetruest sense of the word. They are the exact reflection of the Pharisees at thetime of Jesus of Nazareth.Realise in pure joy that through your simple, good-willing intuitiveperceiving and thinking you are able without effort to guide the one andmighty Power of Creation. The Power will then take effect exactly accordingto the nature of your intuitive perceiving and your thoughts. It works byitself, you need only guide it.This takes place in all simplicity and naturalness! No erudition is requiredfor this, not even reading and writing. It is given to each of you in the samedegree! In this no difference exists.Just as a child playing with a switch can turn on an electric current that4445
