The Central Position Of The Etheric Body - Part I

"DUALISTIC life can be completely explained by the astral fire of this world. The mortal soul lives completely out of this fire, as do all nature-born human beings. It is also everyone's experience that this way of living brings only discord, anguish and disillusionment, due to the self-maintenance of the "I".

There can be no way of truly living as originally meant, as long as we do not live, work and strive out of the fire of Divine grace, and as long as we do not enter the Fundamental Reversal ad try to come into harmony with the gnostic-astral force, the fire of Divine grace.

The pupil, who begins to become conscious of this, experiences a kind of anguish that is totally different from the sorrow of the world. This is the anguish that drives the pupil to new knowledge, so that there can be an end to this fundamentally disharmonious state, this apparently endless succession of rising, shining and fading.

This liberating Knowledge, this Science of Liberation for which the pupil longs, is available for everyone. With un-paralleled grandeur this Knowledge has come to dwell among humanity. Everything you need to know lies literally spelled out before you. The question now is, whether you understand this Wisdom, and whether you, having ears, can indeed hear.

In the past, we may have been told of coming events, but at the moment, humanity is in a situation in which drastic changes are occurring in the astral atmosphere and a reaction has to come, be it positive or negative.

For this reason, you should make an effort and should open up completely, not only to hear what is occurring with respect to astral turbulence and change, but also and especially to let your innermost being fathom the inevitability of the consequences. And above all, you should grasp the Helping Hand which is being extended to you again and again.

You need to gain a deep understanding of these changed atmospheric conditions and of what they have to tell you so that in great humility, you will react positively by taking positive action, without delay. If you don't do this, you will lapse into a negative reaction. There is no middle road".
