| Granted, there are many, many people living on earth who have not experienced such a call. They | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |

| QUESTION: I mean everything that we know on earth. Is it the result of what we believe | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |
| will try to put it this way: The earth sphere or the material world has been created | 17 THE CALL -- DAILY REVIEW |

| not to keep the laws long before this earth and this material world came into existence. The | 18 FREE WILL |

| and not mere opinions, such as you on earth can have on these subjects. Even if you | 19 JESUS CHRIST |

| the worlds of darkness. In other words, this earth sphere is a product of the longing of | 21 THE FALL |
| of darkness helped in the creation of this earth sphere. The influence of both worlds exists and | 21 THE FALL |
| of free choice. Conditions and circumstances on this earth sphere are different, of course, due to the | 21 THE FALL |
| More and more people came to live on earth. Only with self-awareness, which includes thinking and deciding | 21 THE FALL |
| human beings produce their spiritual world. And on earth where the influence of God's world also existed | 21 THE FALL |
| If God's world had not acted on this earth too, there would not have been any difference | 21 THE FALL |
| would not have been any difference between the earth sphere and a sphere in the world of | 21 THE FALL |
| the other hand, God's world co-created this material earth and thus, according to the law of free | 21 THE FALL |
| had the right to manifest its influence on earth. The answer is that pure spirits who remained | 21 THE FALL |
| fulfilled a great mission with their incarnation on earth, and their influence was much more far reaching | 21 THE FALL |
| ages, the fallen spirits during their incarnation on earth could freely choose what side to listen to | 21 THE FALL |
| fewer beings of the divine world living on earth, because their strength always outweighs and outlasts the | 21 THE FALL |
| not know, as long as they are on earth, how far-reaching the effect of the smallest endeavor | 21 THE FALL |
| I understand that when we are incarnated on earth we have certain limitations in our spiritual development | 21 THE FALL |
| time I spoke about the creation of the earth, how it came into existence, and how humankind | 22 SALVATION |
| humankind gradually evolved. I told you that the earth is a product or a picture, so to | 22 SALVATION |
| a long time. I also said that the earth is equally a product of the longing of | 22 SALVATION |
| back into the divine light. Thus here on earth you can find beauty, love and harmony, as | 22 SALVATION |
| shades in-between. This is the proof that the earth sphere is a product of God's world and | 22 SALVATION |
| fallen spirits to reunite with God. On the earth sphere you have the possibility with your free | 22 SALVATION |
| existed, from the beginning of time when the earth sphere was relatively new. Then it was impossible | 22 SALVATION |
| why God has always sent beings to the earth who were not fallen spirits. Some of the | 22 SALVATION |
| with them to leave their mark upon this earth sphere, but because of their nature they could | 22 SALVATION |
| that salvation was not only accomplished on this earth sphere but in every sphere of existence. Long | 22 SALVATION |
| in every sphere of existence. Long before the earth sphere existed and after the so-called Fall of | 22 SALVATION |
| went by before, due to this longing, the earth sphere gradually came into existence. More souls came | 22 SALVATION |
| into existence. More souls came to live on earth because they were ready to do so, low | 22 SALVATION |
| development then proceeded. Merely by living on the earth sphere, they came, for the first time after | 22 SALVATION |
| and sending various pure spirits to live on earth. He also organized teachings for the pure spirits | 22 SALVATION |
| God, if you wish -- would live on earth like a man, without any protection or guidance | 22 SALVATION |
| the support of God's spirit world on this earth sphere, and in addition having to resist all | 22 SALVATION |
| there would be no purpose to life on earth at all if -- and this applies to | 22 SALVATION |
| exactly what was involved while He lived on earth. In the course of the years, He received | 22 SALVATION |
| Christ had successfully completed His task on the earth sphere, a number of so-called miracles took place | 22 SALVATION |
| a number of so-called miracles took place on earth, showing humankind that a major phase in the | 22 SALVATION |

| a war with guns or spears, as on earth, had taken place in exactly that form. Of | 22 SALVATION |
| the same reason that He undertook life on earth for God's justice to be preserved -- even | 22 SALVATION |
| where the manifold preparations were made, on the earth sphere, and in the world of darkness. After | 22 SALVATION |
| to turn to God during their development on earth, going from one life to the other. Lucifer | 22 SALVATION |
| lives or incarnations are indeed necessary. Life on earth is like a school where you develop from | 22 SALVATION |
| no power over such a being whether on earth or in the spirit world. This is the | 22 SALVATION |
| the Universe, the Fall, the Creation of this earth sphere, and salvation through Jesus Christ. At the | 22 SALVATION |
| spirits, through their longings, created for themselves the earth. But I do not understand why it was | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| development, the blinder the being must be. The earth sphere is just a grade in-between. It is | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| a condition of the particular development of the earth sphere that humans generally cannot see any other | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| principle applies to all spheres lower than the earth sphere, but does not apply to higher spiritual | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| this world of matter is that on the earth you are open for influences of the higher | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| in outlook and development. So conditions of this earth sphere, with its degree of density and circumstances | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the longing of the fallen spirits, gradually this earth sphere came into existence. I always thought God | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| the first place, I purposely said that this earth came into existence not only due to the | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| spiritual worlds. The coming into existence of this earth was the expression of the attitude, of the | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| ANSWER: Well, there are people now on this earth who belonged once to the light and partly | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| they can incarnate. The worst criminals on this earth must have already some sense for good, somewhere | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| he would be the only man living on earth, there would be no point to it. And | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| development, collectively, people will have wars on your earth. In principle, from a spiritual point of view | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| not know it. This creates wars on this earth -- your unrecognized hatred, your unrecognized selfishness, your | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| any means. He could not have lived on earth in the first place, if he were anything | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| humans that life does not originate on this earth plane. But then, people often misinterpret this in | 23 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |

| Your objects, whatever you have here on this earth sphere, are nothing but symbols of what exists | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| understand that Jesus, when He came to the earth sphere and afterward to the spheres of darkness | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| with Him while He was dealing with the earth sphere and the lower spheres in connection with | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| this is why, for instance, also on this earth sphere, people of higher and lower development live | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| and have great tasks to fulfill on this earth. I explicitly beg you, my friends, not to | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| you explained that the physical existence on this earth sphere for the fallen spirits was not chosen | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| was also a very gradual process. But the earth sphere did not come into existence in the | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| other words, mineral, plant and animal life on earth are, to some degree at least, expressions of | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| -- of existence in lower worlds than the earth sphere. The higher the curve goes upward, the | 24 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
| clearly: the necessity for self- development on this earth plane which exists for that very purpose. No | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| but there is absolutely no other means on earth or in heaven to gain harmony, love, happiness | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| promise you the precious gifts of heaven on earth and in the spiritual world if you merely | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| never too late. Whatever you accomplish on this earth will have an eternal value. And when I | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| will exist as long as disunity exists on earth and humanity has not learned to overcome it | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| the variety is fine, but variety on your earth means friction and hostility. In spirit there is | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| everything, but it is unlike that on your earth where you have what you call better races | 25 THE PATH: INITIAL STEPS, PREPARATION, AND DECISIONS |
| Jesus meant by the meek shall inherit the earth? ANSWER: By meek are meant all who have | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |

| Truth has to grow slowly. Any religion on earth, therefore, will have emissaries born into it from | 26 FINDING ONE'S FAULTS |
