In a world governed by countless rules and constitutions, from national charters to household guidelines, one fundamental question persists: Could the vastness of Creation itself exist without a governing Law from its Creator? This profound inquiry forms the core of a compelling discourse on human responsibility and the inescapable spiritual order.
The Framework of Creation and Law
Consider the sheer scale of existence. Our planet Earth is but a speck within the solar system, which orbits a sun that is one of billions in the Milky Way galaxy. This galaxy, in turn, is one of countless billions within our universe, referred to as Ephesus in spiritual teachings. Ephesus is just one of seven such universes. This immense Subsequent Creation of Gross Matter operates with breathtaking precision, governed by uniform, perfect, and self-acting Laws.
Yet, humanity often behaves as if these foundational Laws do not exist. We craft our own impermanent rules, subject to amendment and interpretation, while ignoring the eternal decrees. The universal laws given to Moses—The Ten Commandments of God—are not mere historical relics. They are presented as a reliable guide for our earthly life and our existence beyond physical death, serving as the key to spiritual ascent.
The Transgression of "Thou Shall Not Kill"
Among the most violated commandments in our contemporary world, particularly in regions like Nigeria, is the Fifth: "Thou Shall Not Kill." Its meaning extends beyond physical murder to include the deadening of human talents and potential. A father insisting on a career path against his child's innate bent, for personal satisfaction or family tradition, commits a form of killing by stifling divinely-given abilities.
However, the physical elimination of fellow human beings presents a crisis of alarming proportions. Killings are carried out with frightening compunction, often in ignorance of the severe spiritual consequences. This ignorance, the discourse warns, does not absolve the perpetrators, their backers, or even those who silently rejoice at such acts.
A Glimpse into the Consequences: Accounts from the Beyond
What awaits those who sever the thread of life entrusted to another? Communications from the spiritual world offer sobering insights. The account of Wolfgang and Gertrude, first published in 1911 by Oscar Busch, serves as a stark parable.
Wolfgang, under the calculating influence of his wife Gertrude, committed murder to secure her family's inheritance. Overcome by guilt, he took his own life. After death, he embarked on a tortuous path through dismal regions of the beyond, enduring decades of torment before recognizing his guilt, seeking forgiveness, and slowly working towards the light.
Gertrude's fate was more severe. Even after death and confessing to her crimes—including killing her father—she remained trapped by her own unrepentant nature. Her helper, Akab, described following her as she descended deeper into darkness, drawn by the self-acting Law of Spiritual Gravitation. She eventually settled in a cold, dark cave within a mountain abyss, a shocking contrast to her earthly life of opulence. Despite helpers reaching out, her liberation depended entirely on her own complete and repentant acknowledgement of her sins.
As conveyed in the Grail Message by Abd-ru-shin, such dark regions are devoid of light and hope, inhabited by souls who receive only what they have forced upon themselves through their thoughts and actions on earth. "Not one single evil thought will remain unexpiated," the teaching emphasizes, even if it never manifested as a physical deed.
The Ultimate Choice: Salvation or Damnation
The narrative presents a clear, binary outcome rooted in personal choice. The pursuit of selfish desires, violence, and disregard for divine law leads to a self-created damnation in the regions of darkness. Conversely, adherence to the spiritual laws that govern Creation paves the way for ascent towards the Light.
The material concludes with a powerful reminder: While man-made justice on earth may fail, the incorruptible Laws of Creation ensure ultimate justice. For Nigeria and the world grappling with intractable violence, this serves as a timeless warning and a call to align human conduct with the higher, immutable order. The choice, ultimately, rests with each individual.
