Re-incarnation.... Beings of light - Mission.... B.D. No. 4758

October 11th 1949

I will never let you fall prey to error if you want to know the truth. And where you lack the right
knowledge, where you have the wrong idea, I will enlighten you Myself, because I do not want
you to think wrongly. Although you only live for a short time on this earth as a human being, it
is not too short to enable you to achieve beatitude. During your life on earth you are able to change
your nature completely. You are able to entirely discard your selfish love, which was strongly
developed in you at the start of your earthly life, and change it into unselfish love for other people,
and thereby acquire a degree of maturity which will allow you to enter the spheres of light and thus
be blissfully happy....
Yet the degree of beatitude in the spiritual kingdom varies considerably, depending on the extent
to which the soul's state is receptive to the rays of light which affect it directly, which have their
origin in Me and thus require My presence. Hence, it signifies unity with Me, and that can only
happen with a being that has shaped itself into love. Therefore the degree of love also determines
the degree of happiness.... The human being is certainly able to attain this degree of love while still
on earth and depart from it as My true child. Then his fate will be infinite bliss.
But it is also possible for him not to achieve this perfection and yet shape his soul on earth
through deeds of love such that it becomes receptive to light. In that case he will have passed the

Bertha Dudde - 2/22

test of earthly life by having turned his will towards Me, and he will have proven it through labours
of love. The kingdom of light will now accept his soul, which subsequently will be able to develop
further. However, it will never be able to reach the degree that can be achieved on earth by a person
who seriously strives for perfection. For his soul will be seized by Me and My emanation of light
will find no resistance, because the soul became crystallised through love and thus My love is able
to permeate it completely.
And now you will understand that this degree of beatitude requires the prerequisite of just one
earthly life, or there would be less merit, thus the reward would also have to be reduced. You will
understand that unification with Me has to take place voluntarily and with utmost effort on earth
already, and that this bliss is My gift in return for absolute devotion to Me, which I will also reward
with My undivided love. It therefore follows that it would be an act of injustice on My part if I gave
the same reward to souls who did not make use of their earthly life in the same way....
Every human being has the same opportunities to achieve maturity. All means of help are at his
disposal, he is able to request blessings, that is, utilise any amount of blessings, and with correct use
of will every human being is able to reach the goal of becoming perfect, because he is only required
to shape himself into love, and love can be practised by every person if he wants.... I truly do not
expect anything unattainable from you humans, since the help of Jesus Christ is available to you
after all, which so strengthens the right will that it can be put into practise. You humans could all
become blissfully happy if only you wanted to.... Consequently, the right will has to be rewarded
accordingly; the soul has to be rewarded differently in the spiritual kingdom than a soul who was
negligent in its self-discipline during its earthly life, who did not take its endeavour for perfection
seriously. A soul like that will have, understandably, attained a different degree of light, even though
it can also be called blissful, because it has lifted itself out of darkness, out of the state of complete
ignorance, because it will have become a recipient of light, albeit to a lesser degree....
The soul in the spiritual kingdom is able to ascend to ever greater beatitude, for the constant
emanations of light it receives will increase its degree of light. This explains why a re-incarnation
on earth for the purpose of full maturity would be unnecessary as well as pointless, since the soul's
past memory has to be taken away and only free will would be decisive once again, which could
just as well fail. In that case, the already achieved degree of light would be at risk; whereas in the
spiritual kingdom the soul will keep what it has already achieved and is able to work with it most
successfully. The return of a being of light to earth for the purpose of a mission is an act of utmost
love and mercy, because every liberated soul finds life in the flesh intolerable once it has but a
glimmer of knowledge.
A being which departs from earth so immaturely that it will find itself in utter darkness, will
indeed stay close to earth, but it is usually unaware of its lost physical life. It has an immense
craving for earthly possessions, yet to return a being like that to earth would truly be neither wise
nor loving, for its will would never endeavour towards higher development, because the greed for
matter needs to be overcome. This is far more difficult on earth than in the spiritual kingdom, where
the being is able to recognise the insubstantiality of matter, and disassociation from it already
signifies the beginning of its ascent. A being with a faint glimmer of awareness is extremely happy
in its spiritual state and will never long for the restraint of earthly life again.
But to possess a faint glimmer of awareness means to possess a small amount of knowledge that
corresponds to the truth, and this possession makes the being very happy already, because it is able
to work with its spiritual wealth.... thus it is urged by love to share its possession with needy souls.
However, every deed of love increases the influx of light, it increases knowledge and intensifies
beatitude. Such a being will never surrender its free spiritual state in order to return to earth because
it realises that it is able to ascend in the spiritual kingdom and that its work is needed....
When, by comparison, a being of light incarnates on earth, it is an act of utmost love and mercy,
which already needs a high degree of love, for it involves helping misguided people living in utter

darkness who require exceptional help so as not to descend into the abyss. Such an incarnation can
result in the childship to God.... the highest degree of perfection which, however, can only be
gained in earthly life; for the soul has to take the same path in the flesh with all temptations by the
powers of darkness. It enjoys no privileges as a result of its former maturity, merely a total descent
into the abyss is impossible since it is protected by spiritually mature souls who will indeed help but
not force its will. As a human being it has to struggle and fight and has no past memory. It has to
live a life of love in order to then serve its fellow human beings as a guide. This soul's earthly fate
will be far more difficult yet it will reach the goal, because its earthly progress was motivated by
love, and love is strength which conquers everything, which achieves everything. And since it
signifies the unification with Eternal Love Itself it will also always find support from Me....
Amen

Explanation about re-incarnation.... Jesus and Salvation.... B.D. No. 8495

May 13th 1963

I t is completely misguided to assume a return to earth in order to atone for the guilt of sin,
although God's law of divine justice demands compensation for all guilt.... Yet there are truly
many possibilities open to Me, so that one day all guilt will surely be redeemed and the being
can be admitted into the kingdom of light and bliss again, which is closed to it in the state of guilt.
The kingdom of the beyond, into which the soul enters after the death of its body, corresponds to its
degree of maturity, hence it can either stay in utter darkness or in brightest light and as a result its
fate will either be an agonising or a glorious one.
And both the torments as well as the splendours are indescribable and impossible to explain to
you humans, and therefore the torments.... thus the fate of the unredeemed, sinful souls, can be
dreadful and the soul consequently often suffers beyond imagination for its guilt or for the sake of
its guilt, thus with its suffering it also makes
Amends for much of its guilt. And its state of suffering can last an infinitely long time if it is
incorrigible, if it refuses to accept advice from the spiritual guides who want to help it out of its
misery. For it cannot enter the kingdom of light until it has redeemed its guilt.... as far as it concerns
the sins it has committed on earth....
But since the original sin of its apostasy from God is far greater and this guilt can never be
redeemed by the being itself, the human being on earth or his soul in the beyond irrevocably has to
find Jesus Christ, for He alone is able to deliver it from this guilt for which He died on the cross....
Without Jesus Christ the soul will never be free from its guilt, even if it languishes for ages in the
darkness of the beyond.... Thus it has to call upon Jesus for mercy, for forgiveness of its guilt, and
time and again its spiritual helpers will try to persuade it to seek salvation in Him, Who sacrificed
His life for this guilt.
And if the soul hands itself over to Him, then its original sin as well its guilt of sin committed on
earth will be redeemed.... Then it will be free from all guilt and for the sake of Jesus' blood will be
accepted in the kingdom of light and bliss.... If, however, the soul is so obstinate that it will not turn
to Him despite all efforts by the beings of light trying to help, it will descend ever lower, its
torments will be immeasurable, and if it still doesn't succeed in lifting itself up from hell.... which
even then is still possible with the light beings' help.... it will have to take the path through the
works of creation again in order to sooner or later reach its goal after all.... Yet this return to earth is
not the soul's re-incarnation as you humans assume, and it is also all but desirable, because once
again it is an infinitely long state of agony for the soul, having been dissolved into the tiniest of
particles, until it reaches the stage of a human being again....

Bertha Dudde - 4/22

 You humans have to be told time and again that you will never be released from your guilt without
Jesus Christ. This is why Jesus' act of Salvation is so significant, because He alone is the gate to the
kingdom of light.... For even if your immense torment in the beyond makes
Amends for the guilt of sin which you committed on earth.... you will nevertheless be unable to
enter the kingdom of light without redemption from your original sin by Jesus Christ.... And
similarly, even a repeated life on earth would be of no use to you, because you would add new guilt
and first have to find Jesus, Whom you can also find in the beyond.... hence you don't need to return
to earth again....
Time and again I draw your attention to this misguided teaching, because you thereby also
devalue the act of Salvation, because by way of this misguided teaching you try to convince your
fellow human beings that you are able to remove the guilt by yourselves, and thus you bypass Jesus,
but without Whom you can never be delivered from your original sin, which cannot be redeemed
even through the greatest agony on earth or in the beyond. Let yourselves become convinced of the
importance of taking the path to the cross, and don't deceive yourselves with false hopes by which
you will only prolong your unredeemed state and languish for an infinitely long time in darkness,
for He alone is the light Which descended to earth, Which brought you salvation from sin and death,
if only you would voluntarily appeal to Him for forgiveness of your guilt, if only you didn't rely on
being able to cope with your guilt in further earthly lives and through such belief only ever prolong
the state of darkness and suffering, for without Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation you will never
attain light, freedom and beatitude.... without Jesus Christ you will never be delivered from your
guilt....
Amen

Doctrine of re-incarnation.... Misguided teaching.... Celestial B.D. No. 4590

bodies.... March 17th 1949

D o not be mislead by supposed contradictions, rather, see the reason in the fact that your
ability of comprehension does not always suffice in order to understand something
properly, and that there need not be a contradiction, but you only suppose it to be. It
should be sufficient for you to know that I will never teach you wrongly and that I will always give
you the information such that it will benefit your soul....
The doctrine of karma does not encourage you to increase your spiritual endeavour. It is far more
likely to encourage you to conduct your life half-heartedly in the spiritual sense. For this reason
alone it is of little benefit for the soul, and it does not meet My full approval that you humans count
on a return to earth and as a result become negligent in your effort. Although I support the soul's
higher development in every way, and wherever I recognise a reliable opportunity to advance your
soul's maturity I Am willing to give My consent, but it always has to be on the basis of My lawful
eternal order and never for the sake of a deliberately created opportunity.... Hence it must be
understandable to you that I will not inform you of a repeated process of development on this earth,
which presupposes your total failure during your earthly life, but that I would like to protect you
from this failure, and therefore caution, warn and instruct you in order to prevent a failure.
It would be a wrong instruction if I were to offer you the prospect of another path to reach your
goal while the right path is still ahead of you, thus you should, and could, walk this path with
correct use of your will. I only inform you of the infinite number of previous embodiments because
I want you to become aware of your great responsibility for the short path of earthly life. This
knowledge is only intended to increase your effort, but you should not draw the wrong conclusion
and neglect your endeavour in the hope of repeating your incarnation on this earth if you do not

Bertha Dudde - 5/22

reach your goal. My spirit will definitely enlighten you, and if you ask Me faithfully I will let you
know through My servants to what extent your thoughts are correct.
If you knew of the endless many opportunities to achieve maturity on the innumerable celestial
bodies in the universe, you would never come to the conclusion that a soul will be returned again to
earth. However, the immature soul has to go through many more embodiments indeed where it is
able to prove itself and thereby make further progress. Thus the doctrine of re-incarnation is in fact
based on truth but it does not mean that the soul will be born again in the flesh on this earth. It
merely indicates the many opportunities of higher development on other creations, where the soul,
either in physical or in spiritual form, is again presented with a task, the fulfilment of which will
assure its ascent. It is an exception if a soul returns to this earth again to fulfil a spiritual mission, it
cannot be generalised. Souls having passed away in a state of immaturity will also deem themselves
living on earth. The areas they occupy make them believe that they were transported to extremely
dreary, barren stretches of land, but they are actually on another planet which is suited to their souls'
maturity and which is inhabited by the most primitive creations, resulting in a meagre, depressive
stay for the souls.... This is an opportunity for purification of very materialistic minded people, who
have to overcome their desire in order to be placed on another work of creation for the purpose of
further ascent, depending on their will.
You still love this earth too much and therefore associate the word 're-incarnation' only with this
earth as the dwelling place for a re-incarnated soul. But you should consider My love's incredibly
extensive work of creation, which only came about for the countless spiritual beings who have to
take the path to perfection, and who will take this path in some form or other.... in physical
creations, as long as the soul is not yet spiritualised and receptive for light, and in spiritual
creations, where the spiritual soul can constantly ascend too, where it purifies itself ever more and
makes itself receptive for the emanation of Myself.
Imagine eternity, behold the starry sky whose countless stars are the creations of My will of love,
destined to accept souls in need of development.... and you will realise that this earth is not the only
carrier of beings who are supposed to ascend and that it is truly not necessary to return the failed
souls to earth again, although it is the only place for achieving the childship to God, but it cannot be
deliberately and repeatedly chosen as a place to mature.
And thus the doctrine of frequent re-incarnation on this earth will have to be declared as a
misguided teaching, which needs to be opposed as being harmful for souls, because it weakens
people's will and endangers the being's sincere change in view of the expectation to be able to make
up for any neglect in a repeated life until ultimate perfection....
Amen

The doctrine of re-incarnation.... (Tantra-message) B.D. No. 4559

February 6th 1949

W hatever you would like to know, ask Me, and I will answer your questions as soon as
you put them to Me.... It is of utmost significance for all people that they aim to achieve
full maturity of soul during their earthly life and that they firmly believe that one day
they will have to give account to a God of justice of how they had used their earthly life. This belief
encourages people to be spiritually very active. Thus, it is understandable that a belief in frequent
opportunities for higher development through repeated incarnations on earth will make the human
being indifferent to his psychological task. This belief is dangerous, because it effectively lessens
the endeavour for highest possible maturity of soul while, at the same time, it questions My justice.
How should I call this or that person to account, unless I allow every human being to re-incarnate
on earth? How should people, who transform themselves into love in accordance with My will
during their earthly life be rewarded if I give others, who failed to do so, the opportunity to

Bertha Dudde - 6/22

Source:: www.bertha-dudde.org
incarnate themselves again once or several more times for the purpose of achieving higher
development? In that case, every person would eventually have achieved the same degree of
perfection....
The degree of light determines the degree of bliss in the spiritual kingdom. Hence, the strength of
light, which the person has achieved on earth in free will, determines the sphere of activity allocated
to him in the spiritual kingdom, where he can consistently increase in wisdom and strength, and also
in happiness. In turn, his activity consists of transmitting light and strength to beings who are in
darkness and without strength, who require help on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom. This
activity is tremendously gladdening, so that you cannot compare it to any activity on earth. It
follows, that every being capable of distributing light and strength to needy souls wants to be fully
active, because it thereby makes itself extremely happy, seeing that it receives the strength from Me
and is thus effectively a relay station for My emanation of strength. Every being seeks to implement
this happiness-inducing process as soon as it has but a shimmer of knowledge, thus no longer
moving in deepest spiritual darkness. Then, it will never again voluntarily exchange its abode in the
spiritual realm with that on earth, it will never again desire the physical body, since the
opportunities of ascent in the spiritual kingdom are equally available when the will to love has
awakened in those with but a flicker of knowledge.
The soul can certainly embody itself if it has the will to do so and its cause for incarnation is a
noble motive.... such as wanting to help its fellow human beings, or to atone a considerable guilt
which prevented the soul from achieving a higher degree of maturity. Then the re-incarnation is not
due to My will but the will of the soul itself is the decisive factor. However, since every soul knows
that its past memory will be taken away, such incarnation is of utmost danger for the soul since it
can just as well fail in free will. It has to walk the path of development like any other human being
and its carnal instincts will be particularly strong when it is faced with the same temptation that had
caused its guilt in the first place. If a soul compares this with its activity in the spiritual kingdom,
which slowly but surely also results in the degree of maturity, while the spiritual benefit of a
repeated incarnation is doubtful, it much rather prefers its fate in the spiritual kingdom.
Nevertheless, it remains in contact with earth in as much as it takes care of the souls’ destiny on
earth, always helping where it had failed itself, but the assumption that the same soul has embodied
itself on earth as a human being again, is wrong.
It must always be contended that people on earth will be offered every opportunity to progress,
that the flow of grace is unlimited. Due to the act of Salvation, a person’s will can receive enough
strength to make failure impossible, and that it is therefore entirely up to him to achieve the high
degree of light. Such privileges may not be wilfully rejected in order to then request them anew. The
human being has free will. One day he will have to give account of how he has used it and accept
the consequences, which consist of a variable fate in the beyond, which he then cannot simply avoid
with a repeated embodiment. The success of this is questionable again due to the fact that his past
memory will be taken away from him. Admittedly, his will makes the choice, thus he will be
incarnated if he so wants, but this will is rare and therefore one cannot speak of frequent
incarnations. Besides, this doctrine is a danger to people, in as much as they do not take their
earthly life seriously enough in view of a repetition which, however, fails to happen....
Amen

About the doctrine of re-incarnation.... B.D. No. 8180

May 17th 1962

I can reveal Myself to you through the voice of the spirit if you genuinely desire to be taught by
Me. I only want you to live in truth, that your thinking will not take the wrong direction, that
you will not be so influenced by misguided teachings from the one who wants to undermine the

Bertha Dudde - 7/22

Source:: www.bertha-dudde.org
truth, because it enlightens you by highlighting him and his activity. Accept, therefore, what I say to
you through My spirit: it should be understandable to you that My adversary will do everything
possible to keep you in spiritual darkness in which he has absolute control over you, for as soon as
you know the truth you are lost to him.... Hence he will always direct your thoughts wrongly.... and
every wrong thought will result in a thousand others, and thus he will see to it that the knowledge
about the purpose and meaning of your earthly life will be withheld from you, that you will form an
entirely wrong idea about your earthly task, and he will try to keep you indifferent towards all
spiritual endeavour.... He tries to maintain your love for the world and therefore will also always
present a repetition of earthly life as being desirable and even provide evidence for it, for it will
weaken your striving for perfection as soon as you believe that you will be allowed to return to
earth time and again if you have not yet reached perfection.
This concept is My adversary's most favourite method and is the reason why the doctrine of re-
incarnation has become so popular, and it is difficult to discard it because My adversary works very
skilfully in order to substantiate the credibility of this teaching. Yet no one needs to succumb to his
trickery, for as soon as he seriously desires to know the truth and turns to Me he will recognise the
foolishness of what he was presented with and will also clearly feel the truth in his heart, he will
feel resentment at what has emerged from My adversary, for his sincere desire for truth will also
guarantee that he will receive it.... Lots of people yield to his influence in this matter, because
people themselves want to return to earth because their love for the world is still too strong and the
idea that they can repeat their earthly life is comforting to them.... Yet time and again you are told
that you, who believe in re-incarnation, were misled.... although there are isolated cases which have
their special reasons but which must not be generalised. For My eternal plan of Salvation truly
incorporates all possibilities which guarantee your full maturity throughout one earthly life.... for
you can overcome every weakness yourselves, since I died for you on the cross to gain strength of
will on your behalf and you can at all times call upon Me in Jesus, the Redeemer from sin and
death, and then you will also be able to reach the degree on earth which will assure your entry into
the kingdom of light.... where you can ascend to never-ending heights since there will be no more
limitation for you....
If you, however, don't use your earthly life and enter the kingdom of the beyond unredeemed, then
a repeated embodiment on earth would be of no use to you either, for you will keep your free will
but your past memory will be taken away from you, and then you will be in far greater danger of
descending further, which will never be encouraged but prevented by Me. And if you can already
become enlightened on earth by being informed of your past apostasy from Me and My plan of
return, then you can also clearly see the path which you have to cover in order to perfect yourselves,
and then you will also realise that the doctrines promising you a repeated earthly life are misguided
teachings, for they contradict My eternal plan of Salvation, which has been established by Me in all
wisdom and love in order to enable your release from the form which, however, requires your free
will. And in order that your will shall make the right decision I Myself shall time and again impart
the truth to you if you ask for it, if you desire to live in truth. Yet you should also understand that
My adversary will use all the power you give to him.... that he will offer you wrong teachings as
long as you don't reject his activity by genuinely desiring the truth.... Yet he will never be able to
impose his error where I, as the Eternal Truth, Am asked for protection against error.... for then he
will be completely ineffective, since the light which is directly emanating from Me will unmask him
and he will therefore always take flight from this light....

Re-incarnation.... B.D. No. 7312
March 20th 1959

Y ou all should know that you cannot deliberately repeat your earthly progress as a human
being, you have to make use of this unique opportunity if you don’t want to be plagued by
bitter remorse one day because you entered the spiritual kingdom in an immature state. The
assumption that you can repeat earthly life as often as you like until you have reached the degree of
perfection lets you strive half-heartedly for perfection. As a result, this teaching is detrimental for
your soul’s salvation, it is a danger, as due to this teaching many people neglect to improve their
soul in the hope to make up for their failure in another life. But this teaching is misguided....
Your embodiment as a human being is a gift of grace which you should fully utilise, because your
process of development is finished once you enter the kingdom of the beyond, and any further
development depends on your attitude in the spiritual kingdom, which can vary considerably....
With good will, the light beings’ active help and effective intercession by people you can still
progress in the beyond and achieve beatitude, but you will need to employ far more strength than on
earth.... however, you can also descend if you are completely obstinate and ill-willed at heart.
In this state it would be a truly undivine act to allow you another embodiment on earth which
would never assure your spiritual progress, because free will is always decisive, and because of free
will you lose your past memory. But with good will you can also attain this maturity in the spiritual
kingdom, which will guarantee you a transmission of light and thus a degree of happiness, which
can constantly be increased.... And then you will have no more desire for life in the flesh and to
experience another incarnation on earth....
It can happen in individual cases for very special reasons, but they should never be considered to
be the norm and used as justification for the doctrine of re-incarnation. For the issue is not that
people could not attain a particular degree of maturity.... because Jesus Christ died on the cross so
that a human being can gain complete freedom from the form during a single life on earth as human
being. It is just that the human being’s will has failed and therefore he also has to accept the
consequences.... a miserable state in the spiritual kingdom, which he can neither stop nor change as
he likes. Besides, in accordance with God’s will everything ascends, only the human being’s will
can be regressively orientated.... And thus it would contradict God’s plan of divine order if a being
would be placed by His will into a previous form which it had not used correctly. This is a misuse of
a gift of grace for which the being has to give account and accept the consequences.
Re-incarnation can certainly take place in special cases, when souls of light embody themselves
on earth in order to render helpful services, who express their immense love for suffering humanity
by accepting another life on earth as human being in order to help people in spiritual distress. Hence
it can be indeed believed that there are people on this earth who descended from above, but they
themselves do not know it, and although their fellow human beings might suspect it they cannot say
so for sure. But far less believable are assertions that people without any discernible spiritual
mission have incarnated several times on earth already....
The teaching of re-incarnation is dangerous for people because individual cases are being
generalised, and the person’s responsibility during the short time of his earthly life will be ignored
and gives way to carelessness in someone who believes that he will always be able to make up what
he neglected to do.... The realisation in the kingdom of the beyond will be a heavy burden to him
one day, because no human being will ever be able to make up for his neglect during his earthly life
due to his own fault. He can certainly still achieve a degree of light there and increase it
continuously, but he will never be able to attain the degree of childship to God, which can only be
attained on earth.... And in addition, he also runs the great risk to descend even further in the
spiritual kingdom if he does not take the opportunity and endeavours to ascend with the help of the
beings of light....

Re-incarnation.... B.D. No. 5062

February 13th 1951

Y ou are given a light from above where it is still dark within you. And My messengers are
instructed to make the light accessible to all who desire it. Whatever contributes towards
the enlightenment of spirit will be conveyed to them, so that they will indeed be able to
distinguish between truth and error and always recognise the One Who is truth Himself. You, My
earthly children, are destined for the greatest bliss I can prepare for you; but the degree of beatitude
will always correspond to your will, for this is not determined by Me. Utmost bliss, however, also
makes utmost demands on your will, for in order to achieve childship to God, which assures you the
Father's inheritance, you have to be perfect too, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. I expect
much of you earthly children, but I give infinitely more still. What I expect of you is complete
subordination to My will and transformation to a high degree of love. For the degree of bliss in
eternal life can differ considerably, it always depends on the degree of love you kindle and activate
within yourselves.
Hence this activity of love determines the degree of maturity and therefore also the degree of
bliss, so it follows that childship to God requires a life of utter love on earth, so that the human
being's nature will be changed into love, into My image, into My true child, for whom I have
prepared all delights, as I have promised. The soul's childship to God has to be the result of a single
life on earth, because this high degree of maturity cannot be achieved in the kingdom of the beyond
anymore, albeit even there a being will still be able to attain an undreamt of abundance of light.
Nevertheless, a being of light can, if it re-incarnates in the flesh on earth for the purpose of a
leadership mission, acquire its childship to God, but this necessitates an extremely sorrowful and
difficult earthly life as well as a redeeming activity on earth, which was the reason of its repeated
embodiment. Only beings with a high degree of light will undertake a repeated incarnation on earth,
but purely for love of misguided human beings, whom they want to help in times of greatest
spiritual hardship.
Alternatively, every light-receiving soul in the spiritual kingdom can also be called blissful to a
degree, and this bliss suffices to trigger its will into helping beings who still languish in darkness,
whose condition they know and want to remedy. No soul of light lacks this willingness to help,
because receipt of light presupposes love, and love constantly wants to express itself. Every loving
deed in the spiritual kingdom increases the beings' beatitude, and such a being will never ever desire
to return to earth, after all it recognises a vast sphere of activity for its strength of love and also feels
the ever increasing abundance of light and happiness. But no being will be returned to earth against
its will, since this would contravene My divine order. Beings of light, even of a low degree, do not
harbour this will, only exceptionally elevated spirit beings descend to earth in oder to carry out the
above mentioned mission. As soon as a soul has but a modest degree of awareness it also knows
about the opportunity of further development in the spiritual kingdom, for then its love has been
kindled or it would still be completely in the dark.... But if a soul is still spiritually blind then its
desire to return to earth might surface, but never for the purpose of spiritual maturing, it is only
drawn to earth by its desire for matter which I, on My part, will not comply with.... For this desire
can be more easily overcome in the kingdom of the beyond than on earth, and without the
surmounting of this desire there will be no light, no spiritual progress.
Anyone who neglected to acquire a tiny spark of understanding on earth, which thus assumes
deeds of love, will also be in profound darkness in the beyond, and to return him to earth would not
be an act of mercy but an infringement of My eternal order, which pursues constant progress and
excludes any kind of regression due to My will. However, in this case re-incarnation would be an

unfair compensation for the soul's failure on earth, it would not be love and mercy on My part but a
huge burden for the soul, which would have to accept the responsibility for a second time without
any guarantee of achieving its goal. And it would not achieve its goal either, for repeated
embodiment would understandably present it with far greater demands in order to balance the
exceptional privilege, whereas its will would once again remain free.... Thus it would have to
undergo a test of will twice, which would mean the same as if I would double a person's life time on
earth and thus bypass an existing natural law.... Also, having failed on earth once, a soul would be
constrained and its will weakened by My adversary again, since the path to Me, to the divine
Redeemer, is blocked by Satan by means of the world, since it will have desired it as well as matter
and will receive what it desires.... Only the being's will is decisive at all times, but this very will is
not interested in embodiment on earth once the soul has but a glimmer of knowledge.
However, a soul which is still lost in utter darkness will not be allowed to re-incarnate because My
wisdom knows of the danger and frequent futility of a repeated earthly progress and My love does
not support regression but only advancement. My eternal law is development and progress.... I only
encourage opportunities for higher development which, admittedly, could also be unsuccessful but
then only due to the being's will. Regression can only be caused by the being's will, never by My
will. Individual instances of re-incarnation to earth happen for a special reason but do not justify the
assumption that every soul will be able to return to earth deliberately once it has completed its path
unsuccessfully or with only slight success. Yet the fact that the soul repeatedly incarnates itself is
certain, because it has to continue its higher development in the kingdom of the beyond and this
always necessitates that it carries out its designated activity in a new embodiment on one of the
countless creations which all serve as places to mature for the spiritual essence. But activity and
tasks are of a different nature than on earth and cannot be explained to you humans either, merely
the principles of redemption and maturity always consist of loving service.
Countless possibilities are at My disposal to beneficially influence the souls which had departed
from earth in a still immature state. Life on this earth had promised exceptional success which, if
unused, can never be made up again such that the beings can re-incarnate on earth any number of
times; this is why the teaching of re-incarnation is misleading; thus isolated, justified instances
should not lead to the assumption that every soul will re-incarnate on this earth, which would be far
more detrimental than advantageous for the soul. The soul's free decision of will has to be made on
earth, and with the help of the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ it is certainly possible to do so during
one earthly life.... Anyone who rejects Him has forfeited an exceptional grace and has to struggle in
the beyond until he acquires the understanding and still accepts His help over there.
Jesus' death on the cross is of such enormous significance for the salvation of all souls that it only
requires the human will to become redeemed, but a will that fails also has to accept the
consequences: indescribably difficult higher development in the spiritual realm or descent into the
abyss, with the result of a repeated path through the whole of material creation.... a re-incarnation of
undesirable consequence.... a tormenting state of endless duration until the human state has been
reached again, which will then gives him a new opportunity to make his free decision of will. No
being will be lost forever, but the time it takes to achieve beatitude is determined by the human
being's will itself. Yet the law of eternal order will remain, for it is based on My wisdom and love
which will never change....
Amen

Teaching of re-incarnation is misguided.... Law.... B.D. No. 2873
September 7th 1943

T he divine laws are eternally unchanging, and all higher development in the physical as well
as in the spiritual kingdom takes place in accordance with these laws. Physical and spiritual
creations of the most diverse variety exist. And their only purpose is to guide the spirit
which is distant from God back to Him. Yet every stage of development is as different as are the
individual creations. Thus they will always be inhabited by spirits whose degree of maturity
matches their nature. There will always be a progressive development as long as the spirit moves
through the physical creation in a compulsory state.... However, a standstill or decline of
development can occur during the final stage of the physical creation as human being.... but at the
end of human life the spirit will irrevocably enter the beyond where no further physical creations
exist. But even in the spiritual realm a standstill or decline can occur because the being retains its
free will which is, however, considerably weakened if it has only achieved a low degree of maturity.
Similar to earthly life, higher development in the spiritual realm also depends on activity, and this
activity is and has to remain completely ambiguous to people on earth as they cannot comprehend
its significance but which, on the other hand, depends on earthly creations.
In effect, people believe that every activity necessitates earthly, i.e. physical, creations.
Consequently they support the view that the soul will return to the realm where it formerly had
neglected its higher development, that it will return to earth to carry on where it had left off.... that it
can repeat its interrupted progress of development anytime until final perfection.... And this
assumption leads to a teaching which does not comply with the truth but which finds approval
everywhere and is therefore widespread.... to the teaching of re-incarnation on earth.... Only few
people understand the disastrous effects of this teaching for humanity if it is not disproved and
corrected. This teaching, in a way, overrules the divine law that, in accordance with the plan of
divine wisdom, everything must advance if it wants to progress. Re-incarnation on earth would be a
regression for the soul approved by God, thus it would completely contradict the divine law which
commands and demonstrates consistent progress. Although the being itself can indeed voluntarily
descend but God’s will would never return it to a state which it had already overcome once before.
And it will never be permitted to arbitrarily repeat a course of action which it had previously failed.
For it still has thousands upon thousands of opportunities to develop further but they always take
place on different creations and under completely different conditions....
Amen

Delusions.... Spiritual working group.... B.D. No. 2874

September 8th 1943

I n the spiritual realm the soul is the creator of its own surroundings. It lives in a region created
by its own wishes and desires, by its thoughts and its will. Although the objects are no longer
of a physical nature they are not spiritually eternal either: they are, in fact, illusions, they are
desired ideals which disappear as soon as the soul’s longing for them increases. And in this self-
created world the soul, as on earth, can oppose and overcome or succumb and add to its longing for
matter which, in its state of darkness, it imagines to be real. Thus the soul can believe to live on
earth and for an infinitely long time remain subject to this delusion until it either gradually becomes
aware of its imperfect state and gives up its longing for earthly goods or it gets more and more
involved with them, which is comparable to spiritual regression and finally results in its banishment
into the solid form; because the soul’s desire will always be fulfilled in so far as the matter, which
the being longs for, becomes its outer cover. Thus the soul’s degeneration in the beyond results in its

Source:: www.bertha-dudde.org
re-incarnation, it has to repeat the long process of earthly development again and, thousands of
years later, as a human being, take its last earthly test of life once more....
Whereas higher development in the spiritual kingdom is independent from physical surroundings
because the soul only ascends when it has liberated itself from its earthly desires. In that case,
however, earthly life is no longer necessary because it has the same opportunity for loving service
in the beyond; in a manner of speaking it becomes part of a spiritual working group which is
incredibly active in a way that is not yet comprehensible to human beings. All beings in the beyond
have the opportunity to progress further and in the state of awareness these opportunities are used
with great enthusiasm. However, the souls which are still in darkness have to strive towards God of
their own free will. And to activate this will is the work of the beings of light whose perfection has
resulted in knowledge, which they now lovingly try to impart on those who are as yet dark in spirit.
Thus the spiritual kingdom offers many opportunities to help souls attain spiritual maturity....
Amen

Phase of development unique during a period of salvation.... B.D. No. 2875

Incarnation of beings of light.... Mission - Child of September 9th 1943
God....

E ach phase of the soul’s development occurs only once during a period of salvation even if it
neglects to utilise the state of free will. In that case the phase of development passes without
effect for the soul and it has to accept the consequences of this in the spiritual realm. But
the completely God-opposing spirit, whose resistance could not be broken during its infinitely long
earthly progress, is given the opportunity again in a new period of creation; where it can, embodied
within a solid form, live through a new phase of development in a newly beginning earthly period.
And then the spiritual substances which, in a compulsory state, have to develop into a human soul
again, are permitted to occupy a human body once more for its final test of will. This re-incarnation
can indeed take place but the process has such enormous implications that it should be explained to
people as something extremely frightening, albeit it is also an act of God’s mercy for the release of
the spirit after its endless time of captivity.
However, the idea that the soul re-incarnates onto the same earth again for the purpose of
finishing its development is misguided.... If God returns a soul from the spiritual realm of light to
earth it is merely an act of kindness because this soul has to fulfil a task of liberating the constrained
spirit on earth.... Hence an already fully matured being of light incarnates on earth to spiritually help
others while it apparently has to advance on the path of spiritual development like any other human
being. A return to earth for the purpose of achieving complete maturity, to make up for the neglect
of a past earthly life, does not correspond to God’s wisdom because it would interrupt the
progressive development; a return from the spiritual into the physical state would be a regression
and thus a sign of the soul’s intention to distance itself from God, thus it does not indicate spiritual
aspiration. Those who strive towards God truly have enough opportunities in the spiritual realm,
where the spirit can prove itself and thus mature and develop further.
On the other hand, highly developed spiritual beings who have not yet reached the degree of
childship to God, can become a child of God by incarnating on earth for the purpose of a mission,
which is always linked to extremely difficult living conditions and requires a previously achieved
specific degree of maturity in the beyond. The teaching of re-incarnation is a humanly devised
teaching which corresponds to their wishes and therefore is defended time and again because many
people are no longer able to correctly understand the truth from above and thus change it to fit in
with their wishes. Because their longing for this earthly world is still too strong and the thought of
being permitted to return to earth is reassuring and comforting. But this teaching is an obstacle to

those who shall spread the pure truth....

Re-incarnation or possession?.... B.D. No. 8291

October 4th 1962

Y ou should not consider a case of possession as a soul's re-incarnation, as a return from the
kingdom of the beyond for the purpose of a repeated life on earth as a human being.
Immature spirits, that is, souls which have already lived in the flesh and departed in
profound darkness, still remain in the proximity of earth.... The kingdom of light is closed to them,
and thus they rage in the realm of the lowest spirits, which is wherever these spirits are
congregating. They are unable to detach themselves from their places of activity on earth and
influence people in every possible way but predominantly by trying to transfer their thoughts, their
evil instincts and passions onto people whose character resembles their own nature. And these are
easily influenced and willingly comply with their wishes by implementing what these spirits urge
them to do.... This influence can often be noticed if people do not consciously free themselves and
fight against their instincts by appealing to Me for help.... But if they are unbelievers they are easy
game for these spiritual forces.... And they will rage consistently more and impel people into God-
opposing actions.... which will become particularly noticeable in the last days....
However, these are only ever mental influences; they are not cases of possession.... Yet these, too,
will quite openly manifest themselves during the end time.... so that people will become so totally
controlled and perform such acts of malice and all kinds of criminal activity that it will utterly
confound their fellow human beings.... These people are unable to generate the necessary inner
strength to resist, their will is completely weakened, and then evil spirits will succeed in taking
complete possession of the body and rage in it, transferring all evil qualities to it and performing
acts which they had done in their own life as human beings. They succeed in pushing the person's
soul aside and impose their own will.... The evil spirit takes unlawful possession of a human body
but it can also be expelled from it again at any time, if the soul itself or someone close to it is able to
completely hand itself over to Me and appeal for My help.... Then I can and will command the
demon to leave the physical shell.... Yet people's unbelief and heartlessness often prevent My
intervention, and I also allow such possession-taking for the purpose of purifying the affected soul
as well as its environment, just as it is possible that the evil spirit, once it has finished raging, will
have a change of heart when it realises the devastating consequences of its ill will....
For occasionally the human being will be held to account for his evil actions and has to take a
long path of suffering, giving the demon no further possibility to incite the person into actions it
would have done itself if it still lived on earth as a human being.... Then it will leave the body of its
own accord and the actual soul will then readily accept its state of suffering even though it is
entirely innocent, yet it will carry its punishment for the sake of its purification and can thereby
mature faster than if it had lived a half-hearted life without any particular guilt. You always ought to
understand the difference, that cases of possession are not re-incarnations of dark souls.... You ought
to know that hell releases everything in the last days and that the prince of darkness incites his
followers into extreme activity.... You ought to know that even these evil spirits can still save
themselves from the fate of a new banishment if they want, for the day of reckoning will arrive
soon, and every being will be held to account as to how it has used the time it was granted for its
deliverance from the control of My adversary....

Racial questions.... Doctrine of re-incarnation.... B.D. No. 8844
August 22nd 1964

T hese questions are not so easily answered, because you regard everything from the point of
view that you humans only advance in earthly life. You are repeatedly told that this earthly
life is the only path to attain childship to God.... that you are thus able to achieve it with
good will.... Yet only very few people will be able to achieve it, especially during the last days when
love has grown completely cold. However, you don't consider that the development continues in the
kingdom of the beyond, that I have 'many schoolhouses' where.... once again with good will.... the
soul can continue what it had neglected to do on earth, although the goal of achieving childship to
God can no longer be attained.... but where the being can also descend into the abyss again and then
My merciful love, requested by your prayer of intercession, will come to its aid. You always have to
take infinitely long periods of time into account when you believe the redemption through Jesus
Christ could not have taken place.... But to Me a thousand years are like a day.... And if you now
raise the question of whether a possibility for recompense exists for those who, due to My will,
were incarnated as a Negro I will counter with another question:
Do you know whether a white human being will not abuse his incarnation for God-opposing
actions? Of what use is it to him that his knowledge is far above the former if he spends his life
entirely without faith and love, whereas the former can be kind natured and thus be far above the
other. Unbelief is the greatest evil that can adhere to a person, for then he will still be severely
shackled by the one who pulls him down. And such people cannot be saved in one earthly period
either; yet they will not return to earth as a human being, instead they will be banished into matter
just like the souls in the beyond who have descended into the abyss because the work of redemption
was unsuccessful with them. In that case one period of Salvation will not suffice.... just as the so-
called 'indigenous' races of people experience their first incarnation on this earth which.... if they do
not strive towards further development in the beyond.... will likewise descend and be banished
again. This banishment, therefore, will always take place at the disintegration of earth for the
purpose of establishing Divine Order again.... However, it is not a re-incarnation as you humans
imagine it, that you can arbitrarily wish for it and then have your wish fulfilled.... You imagine
everything as being limited, both regarding the time as well as the location in which you will be
placed....
You fail to take the concepts of eternity into account, which have such serious consequences for
you humans.... And you will be facing one such concept of eternity when the transformation work
of earth takes place.... Then all human beings will have to start the process of development from the
beginning again, but not as you would wish by returning to earth yet again to complete your
perfection. It is possible to become perfect on this earth but it requires all your will and utter
commitment.... The fact that this is no longer endeavoured towards is explained by people
themselves, for they are heartless and completely without faith. However, where Jesus Christ is still
sincerely called upon in spirit and in truth.... where He is still recognised and acknowledged as
Redeemer, there is also love, and this also guarantees that the human being will 'become perfect as
his Father in heaven is perfect'. When a still immature soul departs it will be joined by countless
helpers in the beyond and safely guided to ascent.... If, however, it is unwilling then it will descend
but even then it can still find redemption.... and if all efforts by the world of light fail then it will be
banished again in the end.... If you thus know that the degree of love determines the degree of the
soul's realisation when it departs from this world, then you will also understand that all schools of
thought which endeavour to develop love will also result in recognising Jesus Christ before or after
its passing away. And they, too, will find redemption as soon as they recognise Him.... Hence it
would not be necessary for them to incarnate on earth again in order to find faith in Him.
However, one thing to be considered is the fact that these schools of thought already know about
the divine Redeemer and that it is up to them to appeal to Me for help in giving them the correct

Bertha Dudde - 15/22

Source:: www.bertha-dudde.org
explanations.... For this demand of Mine is justified that people must approach Me in regards to
problems which only I can explain.... and that I also instruct those who have the sincere will to
know the truth. And as long as they don't fail to do so they will also be aspirants of the childship to
God, for they will.... where possible.... also spread their knowledge. Hence there is no need for
another incarnation on this earth in any case, whereas the beings in the world of light appeal for
another incarnation for the purpose of a mission, which can only be fulfilled by a being of light on
this earth, but by which the being can also gain childship to God, although it is without knowledge
and only suspects it due to the mission with which it was instructed....

The earthly path of angel-beings.... B.D. No. 6858

June 26th 1957

B eing allowed to live on earth is also the wish of non-fallen beings, which indeed live in
unimaginable happiness but were unable to reach the highest perfection of childship to
God, which necessitates the path across earth. These beings' wish will be granted, and they
will travel their path under extremely difficult circumstances in life on earth, but generally will
attain the final goal, although as human beings they don't know their origin. They are, however,
very frequently and severely tempted, and their earthly life, too, is particularly difficult and
sorrowful, yet since their souls came from above they are far more willing to love and therefore also
recognise the purpose of their earthly life very quickly, thus steadfastly following their goal despite
their externally difficult circumstances, ill-health and all kinds of adversity. Attaining childship to
God is the highest goal for the beings in the spiritual realm which, however, can only be
accomplished by overcoming the abyss.... Consequently, such beings will predominantly embody
themselves particularly in times of people's spiritually low level in order to carry a ray of light into
a world of profound darkness.... For wherever a person willing to love is working on earth a soft
light will be shining which is soothingly touching his fellow human beings' souls. And a being of
light will always bring such a soft shining light along to earth, since love in the soul will not need
not be ignited but a small flame is already glowing when it enters into earthly life.
But such people will often be treated with hostility and have to prove themselves.... hence pass the
test of will as well, which this life on earth requires. For God's adversary will tempt particularly
them in the hope of bringing them to fall, which he once failed to succeed in doing. Nevertheless,
the human being is not left defenceless against his power since his spiritual friends will always
support him and provide him with strength, which he will at all times request from God. For a soul
from above will never relinquish its bond with God, even though it is free in its will and actions.
And thus in times of spiritual decline messengers of light and love will arise time and again, who
openly acknowledge God and work for Him and His kingdom.... people who are permeated by His
spirit and who eagerly and with conviction proclaim the divine Redeemer and consider it their task
in life to lead their fellow human beings to the cross, because they understand the significance of
the sacrifice on the cross and therefore also know the danger people find themselves in.... They
gained this knowledge through their life of love, and therefore they can also be diligent
representatives of Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation.
Especially in times to greatest spiritual adversity the helpers will descend from above but without
knowledge of their origin. For they, too, will have to pass the test of will, they often have to live a
most difficult earthly life for the sake of their goal and on no account are they allowed to be
spiritually so influenced that they are compelled in their thinking, talking and behaviour.... But they
can always expect help when they need it, since they will always take the path to God, Whom they
recognise as their Father and Whom they love with all their heart.... This is why their hearts are
always open to receive a flow of strength from the spiritual kingdom, and reaching their goal is

Bertha Dudde - 16/22

usually assured and only at risk if the person establishes contacts on earth which want to pull him
down. The soul will not have to fear a fall into the abyss yet there is the danger that it will not
achieve the highest degree of light, nevertheless it will keep its former happiness.... only that it is no
longer the created angel-being which can't help but think and act in accordance with divine will, but
that it has gone through earthly life and proven its free will and its direction, so that it thus can enter
into the highest spheres of light in order to be indescribably happy....

About the incarnation of light beings.... B.D. No. 7831

February 20th 1961

Y ou should always ask Me for the pure truth and you will not live in error. And once again I
refer you to the working of My spirit in you so that you will not run the risk of accepting
mental concepts as truth which did not originate from Me Myself. And time and again I also
draw your attention to Satan's activity in the last days before the end, who uses every means to fight
the truth and who, with cunning and trickery, intends to capture people who are not closely enough
in contact with Me since they have already allowed themselves to get entangled in misguided
teachings and are unwilling to let go of them. I will send the truth to anyone if only he sincerely
desires it....
When the 'incarnation of light beings' in the last days before the end is mentioned, then this
always happens in combination with a spiritual mission, because there is great spiritual hardship on
earth and these beings had agreed to help people. And truly, there are many enlightened spiritual
beings embodied on earth, which live unrecognised by their fellow human beings and fulfil a
mission: to bring people spiritual information or to exemplify a life of love to them, to work for the
benefit of their fellow human beings, thus to help them find the right path which leads to Me. But as
a rule their task consists of working on My behalf in My vineyard, thus to be true 'representatives
of God'.... teachers who are educated by Me Myself, who thus speak in place of Me, who are My
true servants. They themselves offered to carry out this redemption work in the spiritual kingdom
and were in fact accepted by Me, which necessitated an embodiment in the flesh on this earth.
However, they are unaware of their origin; they do not know the task they had voluntarily taken
upon themselves but live their life like any other person on earth, only their free will determines
their conduct in life and their work in the vineyard. They don't know of their pre-existence either....
And this is how it must be, because absolute free will should be the driving force.... irrespective of
what kind of spiritual mission such a person carries out. It would truly not be beneficial for you to
know a person's previous incarnation for it would confuse your thinking, because My adversary
recognises people's weaknesses and can easily slip in wherever he detects but a spark of pride.
Hence, such embodied beings of light received no knowledge about their origin from Me....
And yet people claim to have knowledge of it and don't question the source of such knowledge....
And 'My spirit' will never have revealed such information to them either, rather, 'immature spirits'
have actively spread misconceptions and portrayed people as embodied beings of light where, in
reality, no spiritual mission is recognisable or it would not be founded on lies or misguided
assumptions.... The beings of light work in seclusion, or their activity comes so openly to the fore
that a mission on My instruction is very clearly evident....
But they will reject everything which does not correspond to the truth, and they will also
recognise and condemn erroneous messages from the spirit realm as lies and deception. For they
know the truth and fight for the truth, and not for misguided teachings which come forth from the
one who is My adversary. And I can only ever warn you humans about his activity in the last days
before the end, for he will do anything in order to invalidate My pure truth, and he will always find
approval with those who look for extraordinary things, who are not content with the pure truth they

it....

Incarnated beings of light.... Mission of spiritual leaders.... B.D. No. 3391

January 3rd 1945

A nyone who unites with God cannot eternally separate himself from Him.... And thus a
being of light having incarnated on earth for the purpose of a mission cannot abandon Him
and fall victim to the forces of darkness but will steadily strive towards God, even though
as a human being on earth it is subject to all temptations and has to progress like any other human
being. But its soul longs for God and turns away in disgust from God’s adversary. Such a person
will be fundamentally good and accordingly develop abilities which identify him as an instrument
of God. He will be a recipient of strength on earth and hence is able to guide and instruct other
people, since his mission of earthly life is to serve people on earth as a spiritual guide. The close
connection to God, which his soul had already established before his life on earth, constantly
provides him with strength; it moves him towards his task in life which he fulfils joyfully and with
devotion to God.
Nevertheless, he will be badly beleaguered by the forces of darkness which use every opportunity
to weaken the light bearer’s flesh, to bring him to fall, because in their delusion they are unaware of
the light beings which protect the embodied being of light on earth. Nor are they aware of his inner
strength and his profound love for God which constantly ensures God’s protection of the human
being. They can only see him as a human being whom they can seduce and try to weaken in every
possible way. But he is surrounded by beings of light and since he is receptive to every emanation
of strength from the spiritual world he also has the amount of strength and grace at his disposal to
resist such temptations.... Humanity’s spiritual poverty necessitates extraordinary help, therefore
God sends His messengers to earth to influence them for the better, partly spiritually, partly living as
human beings amongst others, and in particular to inform them, to educate them in accordance with
God’s will. But they find little pleasure in earthly life because they are constantly drawn back to
their eternal home.
Nevertheless, they first have to fulfil the mission for which they embodied themselves as a human
being.... since their work for the kingdom of God is of utmost importance during the time of need....
It necessitates exceptional strength and perseverance and complete acceptance of God’s will.
Moreover, the living conditions during the last days are so difficult that people would easily fail
without helpers and mentors by their side who, due to their closeness to God, receive their strength
directly from Him. Their work on earth can be very beneficial and thus they will conscientiously
complete their mission until they can return to the spiritual kingdom again, until they can closely
unite with God once more, although they had never been separated from Him even though on earth
they had not been aware of their close bond with God....

receive help from God's side providing they are willing to accept it. Notable activity can also be
detected from His side, and to the same extent as the powers of the dark worlds manifest themselves
and markedly oppress people, the forces of light are also at work and likewise support people
mentally, but also in physical embodiment come to help people, who live as human beings amongst
people and thus impart the flow of strength from God to them and thus serve as mediators between
God and people, Who wants to help them in their battle against Satan. This therefore explains that
these sources of light can be encountered all over earth but that they are not recognised as such by
people who have to be regarded as followers of the adversary. In the last days it is almost
impossible for God to speak through a human being whose soul has taken the process through the
creations.... It would therefore be almost impossible for Him to make contact with people if souls of
light would not offer themselves to live on earth in order to help people who are not yet entirely
controlled by the opponent....
All people should in fact shape themselves to become vessels for the divine Spirit in order to hear
the Father's voice, and it would certainly be possible if people lived a life of love in accordance with
God's will. But they are far from it, they are dominated by selfish love, thereby having given God's
adversary power over them, which he uses to destroy them. But there are also many weak, still
undecided people who have not yet been taken in by him completely, and for their sake a large
number of beings of light come down to earth, and God Himself speaks through these beings of
light to the former. And this is an incredible grace, it is like a countermeasure, which can still save
many souls from the adversary if they open themselves to this grace and allow themselves to be
addressed by God. But even such evidence of grace will not forcibly affect people, it will be up to
each individual person whether he wants to let himself be addressed or whether he wants to close
his ears and heart when he encounters a bearer of light.
Earth is fraught with satanic spirit because the price of hell has taken his vassals to earth which
now try to impose their evil inclinations onto people. And they are succeeding to an alarming
extent. And thus the spirits oppose each other.... whether they are embodied as human beings or try
to influence them spiritually.... The kingdom of light and the realm of darkness have come to earth,
and the spiritual battle takes place on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom. The beings of light
will fight for God and His kingdom with a weapon which is given to them by God Himself: with the
pure truth, which can emanate its light everywhere.... And anyone moving within this sphere of light
will also receive the strength to resist the forces of darkness.... Their weapons, however, are the
commodities of this world. And they incite people to ever greater greed for earthly-material values,
to sensual pleasures, to thirst for power, and thereby increasingly darken the spirit of those
captivated by them.
And thus light fights against darkness, good against evil, truth against lie.... the beings from above
fight against the inhabitants of hell.... but the former with the strength from God while the latter
receive their strength from Satan. Yet it is up to people who will win the battle. Even so, they are
not left helpless at the mercy of their souls' enemy, they will always have helpers by their side as
soon as the thought or the will is emerging in them to become free from evil power. Irrespective
how bad the activity and raging of God's adversary is in the last days, no human being needs to
succumb to it, for God's help is assured for everyone who doesn't want to submit to the adversary....
And this is why God Himself through His beings of light is influencing people, who have joined
him voluntarily, to establish contact between the world of darkness and the world of light.
Consequently, increasingly more messengers of light will appear amongst people, God will address
people ever more urgently, and His activity will become more evident the more the raging of God's
enemy can be recognised. For the battle between Him and the adversary will last until the end, until
his power is broken, until he and his followers will be bound and a new time of peace will begin
when he can no longer pester people and the spiritual battle has come to an end for the time being.
And then there will be peace on earth and people will be in constant union with God, with the

before, so that people will also hear God's voice directly and thus will live a blissful life in the
paradise of the new earth....

Incarnated beings of light.... The working of the spirit - B.D. No. 8207
Channeled communications.... July 6th 1962

E ven the incarnated beings of light on earth in the last days are only working according to
My will as soon as they live their earthly life in heartfelt contact with Me and thus offer no
resistance to Me.... that is, that they consciously submit to My will which also necessitates
their voluntarily established bond with Me. Hence no being of light having embodied itself on earth
as a human being for the purpose of a mission was forced into this mission by Me, but it has to be
prompted by love to dedicate itself to Me, then the human being will also truly accomplish his
mission in keeping with My will. And you humans can believe it that they then will also work for
your benefit.... but always as a human being without knowing his origin, for such knowledge would
neither be a blessing for the being of light.... the human being.... nor for the people it wants to help.
They are certainly in close contact with Me and fulfil their earthly task with dedication and joy, but
I don't use the people working on My behalf on earth as involuntary shells having to bear witness of
Me.... but such a human being.... the embodied being of light.... will completely voluntarily let My
spirit work in him, and he will proclaim the truth, since his spiritual spark unites itself with the
eternal Father-Spirit and thus he will speak according to My instructions, i.e., he will inform people
of the spiritual knowledge which he is constantly receiving from Me.
But don't let yourselves be misled by false prophets, for My adversary will also present himself as
a representative of Christ.... in order to lead people astray, especially in the end time. However, he
will hide himself behind a mask and not shy away from using divine Words either, which he knows
and then tries to interpret in his spirit.... Don't let false Christs and prophets deceive you, for My
adversary conceals himself under a cover in order to gain access to people who follow Me and
genuinely strive towards Me.... and he is frequently very successful.... And he often uses My name
because people's own will allows for it, which accepts everything as truth which gullible people
with mediumistic tendencies claim they allegedly have received from Me. Make a distinction
between 'the working of the spirit in the human being' and 'channeled communications'.... in which
a person's own will is excluded and My adversary is offered the opportunity to work, which he is
truly using well....
However, anyone who has already kindled the light of realisation within himself will also see
through his disgraceful activity and not allow himself to be bothered, for I will impart the truth to
anyone who wants to know it, and I will also give him the power of judgment to recognise that the
Word I convey to earth is originating from Me, and he will not believe My adversary no matter how
cleverly he proceeds to deceive people. For the human being's thinking will be guided correctly and
he will receive enlightenment just as soon as he seriously desires to know the truth....
Amen

Incarnation of many light beings in the last days.... B.D. No. 8245
August 19th 1962

T he fact that it has become necessary for so many beings of light to incarnate on earth in the
last days is because people only develop very little love, with the result that the spiritual
darkness has increased.... Thus light shall be brought to humanity. They do not kindle the

Bertha Dudde - 20/22

flame within themselves which would provide them with the necessary illumination, consequently
the light has to be brought to them from outside, that is, they have to be taught by fellow human
beings who know the truth, that is, who possess a light. The embodied beings of light become
knowledgeable as human beings by living a life of love, for at the start of their incarnation this
knowledge is strange to them as well, since they, like everyone else, first have to educate
themselves in order to become bearers of light which, however, comes easy to them because they
are willing to love and love is the light which enlightens them from within. Hence I convey My
Word to earth through them, I bestow light upon people so that they will be introduced to the
knowledge of their original state, their apostasy and their task during their human existence....
Therefore they are not without knowledge even if they live without love, but they receive
clarification and only need to be of good will in order to also accept the explanations and live their
life accordingly. And especially the bearers of light.... these embodied beings of light.... are rarely
listened to, for they preach and demand a life of love, which is a requirement their fellow human
beings don't want to live up to. Thus there will still be a great struggle by the world of light for the
souls of people who close their eyes and ears and listen instead to the voice of the world.
As a result, two directions can very clearly be recognised: people who reject all light will walk
along in profound spiritual darkness, whereas other people will emanate light to their fellow human
beings and live a way of life according to My commandments, and there the light will increase,
people will have knowledge at their disposal which will give them great joy because they then
recognise the purpose of their earthly life.... People need support for they no longer do anything to
find their way out of spiritual darkness, their will is weak because it is constrained by God's
adversary, and as long as the human being lives entirely without love he is still part of the one who
had pulled him into darkness. This is why the human being has to be told time and again to practise
love, and he will always be supported by the world of light so that he will become enlightened
himself and realise why he is living on earth. For this reason God speaks to people through
mediators, through beings of light, who have embodied themselves on earth and voluntarily muster
the will to enter into close contact with their God and Creator of eternity.... who want to bring
salvation to their fellow human beings and return His children to their heavenly Father if they don't
resist their efforts, if they accept the light, if they allow themselves to be permeated by the Eternal
Light, which always happens when people are willing to listen to God's Word and live
accordingly.... Then the darkness will be penetrated and people will become knowledgeable and
come to realise that they have a Father Who wants to help them return to Him and therefore sends
His messengers to them to spread the light which they receive from God Himself.... And there will
still be a struggle for all souls which live in darkness of spirit, for people shall still be saved before
the end and will escape the dreadful fate of being banished again into the creations of the new
earth....
Amen

The embodied light beings' willingness to help.... B.D. No. 8664

November 5th 1963

B elieve Me that people would be in dire straights during the last days before the end if I did
not continually send messengers of light to earth to bring them light and strength directly
from Me and thus contribute towards saving at least those people who have not yet entirely
handed themselves over to My adversary. These messengers of light consequently fight against the
prince of darkness by exposing the misconceptions which people adhere to, by bringing them the
light of truth and thereby also illuminating the path of return to Me into their Father's house. There
has to be an activity of strong counteracting forces, for the adversary's power is great given that
people concede to this power themselves with their wrong attitude towards Me, their God and
Creator of eternity. They are living in his realm and constantly move in spiritual darkness. My

kingdom, however, is the kingdom of light and bliss, and from this kingdom helpful beings of light,
motivated by their love towards the wretched, avail themselves to Me to descend to earth in order to
help them still find the way back before the end. And since they are only impelled by love for this
work of redemption, I accept it and place them where there is a possibility of success, where they
are then lovingly active, both earthly as well as spiritually.
For now they are living as human beings amongst human beings and thus.... although their souls
are already fully mature.... also have to fit in with people. Consequently they do not stand out in any
special way but live like everyone else, often in underprivileged circumstances. Yet they will never
need to suffer adversity, because they work as My servants on earth and, like a good Master, I will
also always take care of all their earthly needs on their behalf. Nevertheless they are not
conspicuously noticeable in their environment, yet every believer can recognise them by their
unusual mission. For they serve Me as bearers of light, as bearers of truth, which they can receive
directly from Me and pass on to their fellow human beings. Only the pure truth can still bring
salvation to those people who still live in complete error, in spiritual darkness, and who are
therefore at greatest risk of getting lost. For you humans are unable to assess in what danger
humanity finds itself during these last days before the end. And this motivates Me to send
messengers of light to earth which, as human beings, will then do their utmost to work on My
behalf on earth to prevent people from becoming subject to compulsory faith. These bearers of light
might well sense where they are coming from as soon as they, as people, receive revelations from
Me in order to be able to fulfil their mission.... For they will soon recognise their fellow human
beings' spiritually low level and their hopelessness of ever attaining the light of truth unless they
receive special help.... And since they themselves will be guided into the knowledge of all
correlations by Me through the conveyance of the Word, they will also know that they have come
from a different sphere for the sake of a mission.
And yet, I shall keep their origin concealed until they have reached a specific degree of maturity
as human beings which, however, they will only attain just before the end of their physical life, for
it is irrelevant for the human being's mission which spirit has embodied itself in him, since all
beings of light offering themselves to live on earth for the salvation of people are spirits of love
which are close to My heart, and My love to all My living creations is so profound that I on My part
do not apply any classification, as is always the case with limited thinking.... You humans, however,
harbour this wish to know about your previous existence, and then I Am occasionally motivated by
your love to give you small hints, providing you interpret these indications correctly.... For in My
kingdom are countless beings with the same degree of love whose characteristics.... even though
every individual being is self-aware.... correspond to a great original spirit again, precisely because
of their greater than great love.... And I also embrace these again with My love and Am present to
them on earth in order to support them in their spiritual mission, which is urgently needed because
humanity has reached such a spiritually low level that only the pure truth can help it ascend again
which you, My messenger, shall receive directly from Me and pass on, so that the error can be
recognised.... so that there shall be light on earth, so that I Myself shall be recognised by people in
My whole Being.... For it is precisely this realisation which My opponent tries to suppress in order
to prevent people from looking for and finding the path to Me.... For anyone who recognises Me in
My infinite love, unsurpassable wisdom and overwhelming might will also strive towards Me, and
he will be saved from a repeated fall into the abyss....
Amen
