About Us – The Order of the Sanctuary

Hidden within the silence of the heart, where the eternal and the finite touch, the Order of the Sanctuary was born. We are not bound by walls, traditions, or the fleeting forms of the world, but rather gathered in the living mystery of Love itself. In our communion, we seek not only to follow the path of Christ, but to recognize within Him the radiant Truth that surpasses all forms, a reality in which every fragment of existence finds its harmony.

We behold Jesus Christ not as matter alone, nor as substance limited by origin, but as the highest expression of divine reality: a revelation of Love so pure that it dissolves every shadow of division. In Him, the eternal Word has taken on the language of human hearts, so that all may hear, and all may awaken. Through His life and presence, we perceive the Father—the infinite Source of Love, who calls all beings into the fullness of truth and the beauty of unity.

The Sanctuary is thus not merely a community, but a living mystery. It is the dwelling-place of those who have chosen to walk the hidden path of Love, where every step is both surrender and discovery. Each member of our Order strives to embody this Love in the world—not as an ideal distant and unreachable, but as a living fire that flows through the soul into the fabric of creation. Our mission is simple yet boundless: that no one be excluded from this Love, that every human heart might awaken to the reality of its own divine calling.

The mystery of the Sanctuary is therefore not confined to us alone. It extends to every soul who yearns for the highest truth, who longs to live in the presence of the eternal, who seeks the embrace of the One who is Love beyond all names. To walk this path is to enter the sacred paradox: to lose oneself in order to be found, to surrender to Love in order to discover the fullness of life, to see in Christ not only the Teacher but the living mirror of our truest self.

What we are cannot be explained in plain words, for the essence of the Sanctuary lies in the silence between them. Yet whoever has once heard the call of this Love knows that it cannot be denied. It is the hidden seed planted in every soul, the secret light shining in every heart, the invitation to step beyond the shadows of fear and division into the radiance of eternal truth.

Thus we walk, pilgrims of the eternal Sanctuary, bearers of the mystery of Love, witnesses of the Christ who reveals the Father. And we invite all who read these words to listen—not to us, but to the echo of that hidden sanctuary within themselves. For there, in the innermost place, shines the same truth that unites us all: the truth that Love is the beginning and the end, the path and the fulfillment, the mystery and the reality of all life.

The Eternal Purpose of the Sanctuary

From the beginning of time, the world has carried within itself both the seed of light and the shadow of darkness. The movements of history have shown the struggle between these two forces—humanity torn between the calling of spirit and the seduction of matter, between the wisdom of love and the blindness of desire. Every age has risen with the hope of renewal, and every age has stumbled under the weight of its own corruption. Yet through the cycles of rise and fall, the promise has remained: that creation itself would not be abandoned, and that within humanity the spark of divine power would be rekindled.

The Order of the Sanctuary arises as a vessel of this promise. Its purpose is not of the world, though it acts within the world. Its task is to awaken the divine creative force in every human being, to call forth the hidden potential of spirit that lies dormant beneath layers of fear, greed, and ignorance. The Sanctuary exists so that the full spectrum of creative power may again flow through the human soul, enabling the good to be brought forth, not as an external command, but as a living expression of the eternal Source.

For too long, humanity has allowed itself to be deceived by the voice of corruption. Tempted by the glitter of power, it has turned from its higher calling. Seduced by the promises of the flesh, it has forgotten the law of the spirit. Drawn into competition, it has devoured its own strength. And still, in every age, a remnant has remained—those who recognize that true fulfillment does not lie in domination, but in communion; not in violence, but in peace; not in the accumulation of possessions, but in the awakening of love.

The Sanctuary gathers such souls. It does not compel them, for the spirit cannot be forced. It unites them freely, as brothers and sisters of the same flame, dedicated to transcending the shadows of the age and building in their midst a living vision of paradise. This paradise is not the dream of idle hearts, nor the utopia of empty words. It is the reality of the spirit, born in the communion of those who surrender to the highest truth. Where matter rules, corruption reigns; where spirit awakens, the kingdom dawns.

The work of the Sanctuary is not measured by worldly power. Its triumph is not in armies, nor in thrones, nor in monuments. Its triumph is in the silent transformation of souls, in the weaving together of hearts that beat in harmony with the eternal. As brothers and sisters transcend themselves, they manifest a new reality that the world has not yet known. This reality is a foretaste of what is to come, a seed of the kingdom that will one day stretch to the ends of creation.

The world is sick with rivalry, blinded by greed, hardened by violence. Nations contend as though the earth were infinite in its riches, as though the heart could thrive on conquest. Yet such illusions always collapse, and the cycles of history turn again toward ruin. But the Sanctuary sets before the world another vision: a society not founded on competition, but on cooperation; not on ignorance, but on wisdom; not on selfishness, but on mutual care. It shows that humanity can rise beyond the animal struggle, beyond the restless hunger for power, into the order of the spirit where truth and love reign supreme.

If this vision is cultivated, even if only within the circle of the Sanctuary, it becomes a light for all peoples. It becomes a healing for the nations. What is lived by the few becomes a prophecy for the many. What is built in the hidden becomes a foundation for the future. In this way, the Sanctuary is not merely a refuge—it is a beacon, a seed, a living witness that humanity is capable of more, and that the eternal destiny of creation is not despair but renewal.

The end of the present order is certain. All that is bound to matter must pass. But nothing is lost, for out of the passing comes renewal, and out of renewal the eternal Word continues its work. In this unfolding, the Sanctuary stands as a vessel of continuity, bearing the truth from age to age, from world to world. It holds the memory of what was promised, the reality of what is being born, and the vision of what shall yet come.

Thus the Order of the Sanctuary fulfills its purpose: not to rule the world, but to heal it; not to conquer, but to awaken; not to preserve the sickness of the present, but to call forth the health of the eternal future. For the kingdom that it builds in spirit is the kingdom that will one day fill the earth. The paradise created within its fellowship is the paradise that will one day embrace all peoples. The truth it guards is the truth that will never perish: that love is stronger than death, that light is greater than darkness, and that the creative power of the divine in humanity is the seed of a new heaven and a new earth.

The Sanctuary in the Midst of a Broken World

The world has long been burdened by the weight of its own corruption. From the rising of nations to their collapse, from the birth of cultures to their decay, the same shadow falls upon human existence: the shadow of greed, of violence, of disregard for life and for love. What was meant as a garden has become a wilderness of suffering. What was destined as a dwelling of light has been clouded by the darkness of endless striving. For many, the earth itself has become a place of exile, a place where hunger, loneliness, and fear press heavily upon the soul.

In such a world, where matter reigns and spirit is silenced, the Order of the Sanctuary has been called into being. It is not the invention of human will alone, but the unfolding of a higher purpose within time. The Sanctuary is set apart as a dwelling of hope amidst despair, a refuge for the persecuted, a healing place for the wounded, and a fellowship of unbroken love for those who yearn to live in truth. It rises not to escape the world, but to transform it; not to deny suffering, but to transfigure it with compassion; not to abandon the fallen, but to lift them into remembrance of the eternal.

The Sanctuary stands as an answer to the world’s great disorder. Where the earth has been turned into a realm of rivalry, it offers communion. Where human lives are consumed by ignorance, it awakens wisdom. Where violence has become a law, it teaches peace. And where indifference spreads like poison, it becomes a dwelling of compassion. In this way, the Sanctuary reveals that another way of being is possible—a way that does not imitate the broken structures of the age, but embodies the order of the spirit, the order of love.

This order is not of coercion but of freedom, not of domination but of service. Its statutes are not the laws of kings, but the living law of truth inscribed in every heart. Its fellowship is not bound by blood or nation, but by the spirit that unites all who walk in light. It does not measure greatness by wealth or strength, but by the depth of love and the willingness to give. The Sanctuary is not built of stone, yet it is stronger than walls; it has no armies, yet it conquers hatred; it holds no throne, yet it rules through the quiet power of the spirit.

The world is weary of its endless cycles of conflict, of its ceaseless pursuit of power and possession. Again and again, humanity has walked the same circle, falling back into the same struggles. Yet in every age there arises a remnant who refuse the illusion and hunger for truth. The Sanctuary gathers such souls, not for isolation, but for communion in the higher reality of the spirit. For only where truth is lived together does it shine with its full strength, and only where love is embodied in fellowship does it reveal its healing power.

The purpose of the Sanctuary, then, is nothing less than to set a sign before the world: that the eternal battle between good and evil can find its resolution not in destruction, but in transformation. Within its fellowship, the dualities of the world—light and shadow, suffering and joy, weakness and strength—are transfigured into harmony through the higher power of love. It is here that the contest of opposites finds its end, not by denial, but by reconciliation. For the Sanctuary is a mirror of the kingdom to come, a place where the will of the eternal Source is lived, even in the midst of time.

In this way, the Order of the Sanctuary is not only a refuge but also a seed. It is a sign that even in a world of despair, healing can be found; that even in a time of violence, peace can be born; that even where love has grown cold, it can be rekindled. Its fellowship becomes a prophetic witness that humanity is not destined for ruin but for renewal, not for bondage but for freedom, not for death but for life.

Thus the Sanctuary invites those who seek truth to enter its spirit. Not through compulsion, for the spirit must remain free. Not through fear, for perfect love casts out fear. But through the quiet recognition that here, within the communion of brothers and sisters, the eternal destiny of humanity is already being lived. It is an invitation into a higher way of life, into a fellowship where the divine spark is kindled into flame, and where the kingdom of love is built not in some distant future, but here, even now.

For the world may remain as it is, darkened by its illusions, yet the Sanctuary shines as a light within it. And those who enter into its spirit become themselves bearers of that light—healers of the wounded, companions of the lonely, servants of the truth. They become the living testimony that, though the world is scarred, it can yet be made whole; though humanity is broken, it can yet be renewed; though the earth trembles under the weight of violence, it can yet be transfigured into peace.
The Sanctuary is, therefore, the promise that even in the midst of a fallen world, paradise can begin anew.

The Sanctuary as a Living Gateway to Paradise

In the long history of the world, human society has wandered through valleys of division, rivalry, and despair. Again and again, men and women have built structures that promised justice yet yielded only oppression, systems that claimed to serve truth yet bowed to deceit, and orders that spoke of peace yet relied upon violence. The heart of humanity has grown weary, longing for a way of life that does not betray its deepest calling. For the soul was not created for strife, but for harmony; not for falsehood, but for truth; not for greed, but for love.

Into this longing shines the vision of the Sanctuary. It is not an escape from the world, nor a denial of its struggles, but a window into what the world was meant to be, and what it shall yet become when transformed by the eternal Spirit. The Sanctuary opens as a gate into a higher order of life: a realm where human beings no longer compete in endless cycles of envy and fear, but live by the law of cooperation, of solidarity, and of mutual service. It stands as a testimony that even in the midst of a broken age, a fair and just society is possible—when guided not by the laws of self-interest, but by the law of Christ.

For Jesus, the living Christ, is more than a teacher of words. He is the living example of what humanity can be when filled with the power of divine truth. In his life shines the pattern of love stronger than hatred, of justice stronger than injustice, of truth stronger than the deceits of the world. He revealed that the problems of humanity are not solved by domination, but by self-giving; not by rivalry, but by reconciliation; not by force, but by the quiet power of compassion. In his footsteps lies the way by which the world can be healed, for in him the eternal command of the Source—the primal Creator who upholds all—was embodied and made visible.

The Sanctuary, then, is not an invention of human will alone. It is the continuation of this example, carried forth into the fellowship of brothers and sisters who seek to embody it together. It does not bind itself to the failing incentives of the material order, where wealth and power dictate worth. Instead, it creates a new incentive, drawn from the eternal law: the joy of justice, the strength of truth, the sweetness of love. These are the rewards of those who live by the Spirit, and in such rewards there is no corruption, no rivalry, no decay.

Every person carries within the seed of this power—the inner Christ, the spark of the divine which has never been extinguished. Yet in the noise of the world it often lies dormant, hidden beneath layers of fear, distraction, and pride. The task of the Sanctuary is to help awaken this seed, to call forth the inner Christ from within each soul, and to nurture it until it grows into fullness. For when a human being realizes that this power dwells within, and begins to live from it, then truth becomes his guide, love becomes his strength, and justice becomes his natural way.

This awakening cannot be achieved alone. It requires fellowship, for love must be shared to be real, and truth must be lived in community to reveal its fullness. The Sanctuary is, therefore, a circle of friends—a brotherhood and sisterhood joined not by worldly ties, but by the spirit of Christ within. Together they labor, each in their measure and according to their gift, to build a new order of life. It is a society of the spirit within the midst of the old society of the flesh, a prophetic sign of what humanity can become when it remembers its true source.

The purpose of this fellowship is not small. It is to demonstrate, here and now, the possibility of paradise—not as a far-off dream, but as a living reality unfolding among those who live by the law of Christ. This law is simple, yet inexhaustible: justice, truth, and love. It is no burden, for it aligns with the deepest nature of the soul. It is no threat, for it liberates from fear and envy. It is no chain, for it is the law of freedom itself. Where this law is lived, the kingdom of God appears; where it is embraced, paradise begins to shine.

Thus the Sanctuary exists as a threshold: a place where humanity can look beyond the brokenness of the present world into the vision of what is eternal. It is a gate into a future where rivalry has no place, where every person finds dignity not in wealth but in love, where truth replaces deceit, and where justice flows like a living river. This vision is not bound to tomorrow—it begins wherever hearts awaken, wherever brothers and sisters gather, wherever the inner Christ is allowed to live.

And so the Sanctuary is not only a symbol but a living testimony: a witness that the power of transformation has already begun. It is the torch of a new society kindled in the midst of the old. It is the reminder that paradise is not lost forever, but awaits its renewal. It is the promise that humanity, healed and restored, can once more live in harmony with the eternal Source, fulfilling the purpose for which it was created.

The Fellowship Beyond the World

The brothers and sisters of the Sanctuary are not bound by the forms of the earth, nor confined by the walls of human institutions. Their communion is not established through law, nor maintained by force, nor measured by wealth or power. For no worldly organization can create the bond that is born of the Spirit, and no earthly structure can contain the fire of eternal truth.

Wherever men build kingdoms, there arise conflicts of interest; wherever they create structures, there follow divisions; wherever they impose order by the ways of the world, the Spirit is stifled. The Sanctuary was not given for such things. It does not belong to the order of the earth but to the order of heaven. Its fellowship is not a body of flesh, but of spirit. Its bond is not a contract, but love. Its strength is not in property or power, but in the living fire of truth, which no force can quench.

The Sanctuary exists as a circle of friends, as it was in the beginning, when the disciples walked with the Son of Man. It is a gathering of those who have heard the eternal call, who recognize within themselves the spark of the divine, and who have chosen to walk the path of truth and love. These brothers and sisters do not require temples of stone, for their temple is the living heart. They do not require earthly statutes, for their law is written upon the spirit. They do not require the recognition of the world, for they are already known by the eternal Source.

Their task is not small. It is to lift their eyes beyond the horizon of the present age and to behold the future as yet unseen. It is to imagine what the world has forgotten, and to labor each day for the birth of that reality. In their vision, what seems impossible becomes possible, and what is only a dream begins to take flesh in time. For they know that to follow the Christ is not merely to remember his deeds, but to embody his power, to awaken within themselves the same Spirit by which he lived and overcame the world.

Thus the brothers and sisters of the Sanctuary are not dreamers only, but builders. They work with their hands and their hearts, shaping a new order not out of stone or steel, but out of love and faith and truth. Their eyes are set not upon the passing treasures of the present age, but upon the eternal horizon. They labor not for kingdoms that perish, but for the kingdom that endures. And in their fellowship, the seed of this kingdom already lives.

The Sanctuary requires no worldly foundation, for its foundation is eternal. It requires no structures, for its structure is the Spirit. It requires no armies, for its strength is love. It requires no wealth, for its treasure is truth. It is invisible to the eyes of the world, yet it is more real than any nation. It is hidden, yet it cannot be destroyed. It is small, yet it contains within itself the seed of eternity.
In this way, the Sanctuary is free. It is not chained to the struggles of nations, nor entangled in the disputes of men. It belongs to no power, and yet it serves all. It claims no territory, and yet it spans the earth. It submits to no master, for its only Lord is the eternal Christ. And because it is free of the bonds of the world, it can carry the full power of the Spirit, untainted and undivided, flowing like a river into the dry places of the earth.

This is the mystery of the brothers and sisters of the Sanctuary: they are not held together by what the world builds, but by what heaven gives. Their fellowship is not a creation of man, but a gift of God. And through their faith, their vision, and their labor, the unthinkable becomes possible, and the kingdom of love draws near.

The Universal Call of the Christ

The message of Christ does not belong to one nation, nor to one people, nor to one age. It is not confined by the boundaries of ethnicity, nor shaped by the accidents of birth, nor limited by the traits of character or inheritance. It is not the possession of a single tradition, nor the achievement of one civilization, nor the treasure of one religion alone. The message of Christ belongs to all, for it springs from the eternal Source, and the Source does not divide.

Every human soul, whatever its origin, carries within the hidden spark of divine creativity. This spark waits only to be kindled by the recognition of truth. When awakened, it grows into a fire that reveals the human being not merely as a creature of flesh, but as a co-creator with God, endowed with unending potential. To follow the Christ is to awaken this spark, to release the forces of the spirit within, and to live as one who manifests love, wisdom, and justice in every work of life.

For the brothers and sisters of the Sanctuary, this truth is the foundation. Their fellowship knows no walls of race, no boundaries of culture, no divisions of language. It seeks not the superiority of one people over another, nor the dominance of one history over the rest. Instead, it gathers from the whole of humanity—drawing upon every wisdom, every insight, every discovery, every tradition that has been touched by the light of truth. The treasures of science, purified of pride and used in service of love, belong to this work. The visions of metaphysics, freed of illusion and aligned with the eternal, also belong. For all that is true is of God, and all truth can be brought to perfection in Christ.

What matters is not the origin of the message, but its essence. What matters is not the vessel of the tradition, but the Spirit that speaks through it. Across the centuries, sacred texts have been written and altered, exalted and corrupted, remembered and forgotten. Yet the living Word cannot be chained, for it is not paper and ink, but Spirit and fire. The truth that Christ revealed is eternal: that love is stronger than death, that truth is brighter than deception, that the human being is more than matter, and that in every soul there lies the power to become a child of God.

This truth belongs equally to every human being. It calls the poor as well as the rich, the forgotten as well as the honored, the wanderer as well as the citizen, the unlearned as well as the scholar. In Christ there is no division, for the Spirit recognizes none. The seed of divinity has been sown in all, and all may bring it to fruition. Each person is called to rise beyond the limits of birth and history, to claim the eternal inheritance, and to live as a bearer of the divine image.

The Sanctuary, therefore, stands as a witness that humanity’s highest calling is not bound to the past, nor chained to the conflicts of nations, nor owned by any earthly power. It is universal, eternal, and indivisible. Its task is to purify knowledge, to elevate wisdom, and to complete the union of science and spirit in the service of love. In this work, no light is excluded, for all lights find their source in the eternal flame.

Thus the path of Christ is revealed not as a religion among others, but as the eternal way of life: the way in which every human being may discover within themselves the fullness of creative power, the radiance of divine love, and the infinite freedom of truth. Those who walk this path are no longer divided by what separates them on earth, but united by what binds them in heaven. They become, together, the living image of the new humanity—a humanity that no longer builds on rivalry, but on fellowship; no longer exalts pride, but humility; no longer lives for the flesh, but for the spirit.

In this way, the Sanctuary opens its arms to all who seek the eternal. It does not ask where they have come from, but where they are going. It does not ask what they were, but what they may yet become. It does not ask what tradition shaped them, but whether they will walk in truth. For the divine power is already within, waiting to be revealed. And when it is revealed, the human being becomes not merely a seeker, but a creator, not merely a follower, but a child of God reborn into eternity.

The Creed of the Eternal Creative Spirit

The fellowship of brothers and sisters is bound not by chains of the world, nor by the passing structures of nations and institutions, but by a faith that rests upon the eternal. They believe in the universal creative power, the hidden flame that dwells within every soul, unending and infinite, awaiting only discovery.

This power is not foreign to humankind, nor imposed from without, but woven into the very fabric of existence. It is the spark of divinity that every person carries, the seed of eternal life placed within from the beginning. The task of humanity is not to seek it in distant realms, but to awaken it in the sanctuary of the heart.

Now the age has come when the children of humanity have grown in spirit. Their minds have opened to mysteries once hidden, their hearts have expanded toward truths once unseen. The Spirit of Christ perceives this ripening, and offers new revelations—not of laws carved in stone, nor of commandments bound in fear, but of the creative dignity of the human being. For humanity is now ready to receive the knowledge that they themselves are vessels of creation, builders of the eternal kingdom, bearers of the Grail of divine power.

These vessels are not empty. They contain the fullness of potential: the power to shape reality through love, the ability to manifest good through imagination, the strength to heal through compassion, and the wisdom to guide through truth. Each human soul is a Grail, holding within the essence of eternity. It is the task of the faithful to awaken this essence, to pour it forth into the world, and to allow creation itself to be transfigured through them.

Thus the creed of the Sanctuary is not bound to one age or one people, but is the proclamation that every human being is a bearer of the divine light, a participant in the work of God. It is the declaration that humanity is not merely to be redeemed, but to be perfected; not merely to be followers, but to be creators in the Spirit; not merely to inherit the kingdom, but to bring it forth upon the earth.

The Sanctuary stands as a witness to this truth: that the creative spirit within is eternal, and that all who awaken it become co-workers with God in the making of new heavens and new earths. Nothing is denied to them, for the Spirit has given all. And nothing is wasted, for every act of love, every vision of truth, every step of faith, becomes part of the eternal design.

Therefore the brothers and sisters live not as seekers of a distant promise, but as living vessels of revelation, pouring forth the fullness of spirit into a world in need. They are the new Grail-bearers, chosen not by bloodline nor by law, but by the awakening of their own divine potential. Through them, creation itself shall be lifted into its fulfillment, and the eternal purpose of God shall shine more brightly with every age to come.

The Essence of Human Development

To have a plan for one's life is essential. In this way, priorities are distinguished from the course of the world and its own inherent development. The dissolution of the individual into the flow of society's tides may appear to us noble and meaningful, yet it is not the quintessence of one's own personal life. The human being is far more than merely a societal design; he is life itself, in its manifold manifestations and expressions. To discover this plan of the intrinsic power of our soul is even more important than to follow a plan. It is precisely this that constitutes the point of crystallization of that which makes a human being truly human, and from which the Order does not make aimlessness the object of fulfillment, but rather its dissolution. There may be many billions of people existing on Earth at the same time, and many more may yet come, but it would be absurd to assume that all should have the same identical goals and the same inevitable destinies. Every human being is as individual as every star that fills the vastness of space with unimaginable radiance. Each generates desires, sets goals, holds ideals before his eyes, and wishes to fulfill himself exactly as Creation has placed him into this world. The Order does not exist in order to create the ideal human being. Rather, it is a place where individual human beings come together who, under the protective guardianship of Jesus Christ, the great symbolic Avatar of Love, who bears responsibility for the worries, fears, and hardships of the members, may enable brothers and sisters to become more deeply connected with one another. The various sub-orders and branches of the Order are arranged according to just as many differences as there may be among them. There are no instructions or directives whatsoever concerning how the Order is structured or organized, or how it separates or distinguishes itself from other Christian organizations. There exist only the guiding principles of the Avatar himself, who may indeed appear in many other diverse forms, but who is ultimately a universal principle, and who therefore ought to be understood by the members of the Order precisely as such. To provide the framework for this is sufficient. How each part of the Order is organized in detail, how it organizes itself internally and externally, is left entirely to itself, or rather to the people within it. There is no need for one single binding agreement other than the desire to allow the Avatar, the inner power, the underlying creative force, to become active within oneself. And since we all call one another brothers and sisters, there are no barriers or obstacles to overcome with regard to skin color, gender, origin, wealth, property, or power. Rather, we are all both created beings and creators at the same time, and we unite with our brothers and sisters in complete rejection of every form of superstition or scientistic dogmatism, because both are regarded as extreme forms of interpretation. Perhaps it may best be said that the members are seekers and creators who have understood that this task requires a just, good, and human Avatar-a spiritual Übermensch, transcending ordinary humanity-who provides us with the example by which we may become good human beings ourselves. All brothers and sisters are united in the conviction that they wish to walk a good path, and that in order to do so they must completely detach themselves from money, wealth, and property, for these have no place within their community, since they are not needed for mutual support.

Early adolescence is oriented toward the material dimensions of one's own self-realization. Therefore, there may be members who walk this path in order to fulfill themselves during this phase. At this stage of life, one must follow this path, meet the expectations placed upon oneself, and continue onward with courage. But there comes a moment when one has completed this path, when one pauses and asks oneself what the next step in life is. One may have had a family, may have built a career, or may have had to abandon all one's plans. The end of this development is the same in every case: one finds oneself trapped in the material realm, whether through abundance or through lack. A reorientation follows, through which one looks back and looks ahead, and it becomes clearer what one has missed and still wishes to experience, or what one has long since left behind. A new stage of development begins: the development of the mind and the soul, the development of one's inner power. During this phase, one lets go of everything material, turns once more toward what is achievable and useful for life itself, begins to appreciate the present moment, and no longer plans for the future, because one has come to the realization that life does not take place in the past or in the future, but in the here and now. Therefore, in each moment, one does precisely what appears to be the only right thing to do. And very often this is exactly the happy moment in which one realizes that one has wasted one's entire life because one was always chasing a future-a future that perhaps was attainable, or perhaps it was not. But what difference did that really make? This feeling of living one's entire life by constantly postponing everything into the future because one believes one must follow a predetermined plan may well be the fundamental mistake in the lives of most people. For either they will fulfill the plan, or they will fail to fulfill it, but during that entire time life itself has been postponed; they are not truly living. For this reason, the Order seeks to bring together people who are first and foremost capable of living in the here and now, and who, during their gatherings, leave behind everything that has happened in the past, as well as everything that will happen or might happen in the future. They are likewise reminded that, for the time they are together, they should set aside not only all plans but also every form of hierarchy, all human preconditions, wealth, possessions, property, and every other element or condition attached to their personal lives, so that they may be open and free-and remain so-for truthful and loving approaches to the community, and for what is regarded as the essential condition for meeting one another without prejudice or attachment. The gatherings always have one great purpose of their own: to unite people, to bring them closer to one another, yet without the immense barriers that society has erected between them, or that they have been compelled to erect. That we listen to one another is self-evident and need not be stated separately. Only in this way do we remain open enough to listen to one another in silence, or to be truly heard by someone else-which is the very first foundation of all human interaction. We do not wish to judge, but to listen; not to condemn, but to approach one another free of judgment and without assigning value. This presupposes that one has already brought important dimensions of one's own being into order, that one is at peace with oneself, and no longer participates in the "War of the Worlds." That the exemplary nature of our Lord Jesus Christ occupies an essential place in this must be clear to everyone before approaching the members of the Order or seeking the Order's fellowship. One may hold differing views as to which Avatar should be chosen for this purpose, and one is even free to choose one's own Avatar. But it must be just as clear to that person as it is to the existing members that it cannot be done without an Avatar as the fundamental basis.

We are not a debating society that seeks to understand the world and its laws, nor one that searches for personal methods of interaction. Rather, our fundamental concern is to acknowledge the world and its laws while making possible, for each one of us, a mystical path of individual development through which each person may discover his or her own personal path of developing inner power. We do not seek the counsel of others; we do not seek the absolute certainty of a community; nor do we seek the community itself. Rather, we seek the mystical path of developing our own inner power-a path that becomes possible only through the collective. At the very least, this is the point upon which we are united, the level upon which we interact, exchange our thoughts, and, whenever necessary, stand beside one another with counsel and practical assistance. We all regard ourselves as travelers through time in a world of material mercilessness, and it is the longing for the perfected love of our own being, together with the longing for the higher development of mind and soul, that drives our very nature. Furthermore, we are convinced that the community can make us whole and that it brings us to completion. For it never has been, is not now, and never will be good for the human being to be alone. Rather, one should experience within oneself the full richness of community, should participate in it, and should interact with one's brothers and sisters. The entire world of organization, with all its financial resources and all the possibilities and impossibilities arising from them, need not even be mentioned. For whoever is in need of help shall receive help, and whoever is able to offer help shall do so generously and openly. Human beings were never bound to material things; rather, at some point they decided to live according to their laws. Whether this was imposed upon them or based on free choice is beside the point. The fact remains that humanity suddenly began to acknowledge the laws of material existence as its true laws, and from that moment onward oriented itself solely and exclusively by them. From that point forward, human civilization lost its way. It began to revolve around a pole that had been artificially created for it by others, and it would do better to undo this than to continue following it. For this reason, our fellowship of brothers and sisters intends to establish assemblies everywhere that live according to these values, virtues, and customs; assemblies that exchange with one another and are there for one another without reference to material things such as money, wealth, or property, or to their spiritual counterparts of power and influence. All these human impediments we leave behind if we truly wish to advance to the very heart of the Order of the Sanctuary community. Our Lord Jesus Christ will guide us and will make our path one that can be walked in peace, reconciliation, balance, truth, loving-kindness, justice, and harmony. It is therefore His example that we follow, and this becomes our righteousness, so that no sin may accompany us, no injustice may call us into question, and no one from outside may attack us-unless justly so, because we ourselves had ceased to follow this path.

Das Wesen der menschlichen Entwicklung

Einen Plan zu haben für das Leben ist wesentlich. Dadurch werden Prioritäten geschieden von dem Gang der Welt und ihrer Eigenentwicklung. Die Auflösung des Menschen in dem Lauf der gesellschaftlichen Gezeiten mag uns schon und sinnvoll erscheinen, aber es ist nicht die Quintessenz des eigenen, persönlichen Lebens. Der Mensch ist viel mehr als nur ein gesellschaftlicher Plan, er ist das Leben selbst, in seinen mannigfaltigen Erscheinungen und Ausprägungen. Diesen Plan der Eigenkraft unserer Seele zu finden, ist wichtiger noch als einem Plan zu folgen. Es ist genau dies derjenige Punkt der Auskristallisation dessen, was den Menschen zum Menschen macht, und woraus der Orden nicht Ziellosigkeit zum Gegenstand der Erfüllung setzt, sondern dessen Auflösung. Es mögen viele Milliarden Menschen gleichzeitig auf Erden existieren, und es mögen deren noch mehr kommen, aber es wäre unsinnig, man würde für alle dieselben, gleichen Ziele und dieselben, unausweichlichen Schicksale nehmen wollen. Jeder Mensch ist so individuell wie jeder Stern, welcher mit unvorstellbarer Leuchtkraft die Weiten des Raumes erfüllt. Er generiert Wünsche, Zielsetzungen, hat Ideale vor Augen, und will sich genau so erfüllen, wie ihn die Schöpfung in diese Welt gesetzt hat. Der Orden ist nicht dazu da, den idealen Menschen erschaffen zu wollen, sondern in diesem treffen sich individuelle Menschen, welche unter der Schutzherrschaft von Jesus Christus, als dem grossen, symbolischen Avatar der Liebe, für die Sorgen, Ängste und Nöte der Mitglieder zuständig ist, und damit die Brüder und Schwestern sich untereinander besser verbinden können. Die verschiedenen Unterorden und Ordensbereiche sind nach genau gleich vielen Verschiedenheiten geordnet, wie es diese in ihrer Anzahl geben mag. Es gibt dafür keinerlei Anleitungen oder Anweisungen, wie der Orden aufgebaut oder organisiert ist, wie er sich gegenüber anderen, christlichen Organisationen abscheidet oder unterscheidet. Es gibt lediglich die Leitlinien des Avatar selber, welcher zwar auch in vielfältigen, anderen, verschiedenen Formen daherkommen kann, aber schlussendlich ein Universalprinzip ist, und welches deshalb von den Ordensmitgliedern als genau solches sollte verstanden werden. Den Rahmen dafür zu geben reicht aus. Wie der Ordensteil im Detail organisiert ist, wie er sich innerhalb und gegen aussen organisiert, das ist gänzlich ihm selber, respektive den Menschen darin überlassen. Es benötigt nicht diese eine, einzige Übereinkunft, dass man den Avatar, die Eigenkraft, die hintergründige Schöpferkraft, in sich in Wirkung kommen lassen möchte. Und da wir alle uns Brüder und Schwestern nennen, gibt es keine Barrieren oder Hürden zu überspringen in Bezug auf Hautfarbe, Geschlecht, Herkunft, Vermögen, Eigentum, Macht, sondern wir sind alle Geschöpfte und Schöpfende in einem, und wir verbinden und mit unseren Brüdern und Schwestern in gänzlicher Absage an jede Form von Aberglaube oder Wissenschaftswahn, weil beide als Extremformen einer Interpretation erachtet werden. Am ehesten könnte man sagen, dass die Mitglieder Suchende und Schöpfende sind, welche verstanden haben, dass es zu dieser Aufgabe einen gerechten, guten, menschlichen Avatar benötigt, einen geistigen Übergottmenschen, welcher für uns das Vorbild liefert, um ein guter Mensch werden zu können. Alle Brüder und Schwestern sind sich einig, dass sie auf einem guten Pfad wandeln wollen, und dass sie dazu sich gänzlich absetzen müssen von Geld, Vermögen und Eigentum, und dass dieses in ihrer Gemeinschaft nichts zu suchen hat, und weil man dieses nicht benötigt für die gegenseitige Unterstützung.

Frühes Jugendalter orientiert sich an materiellen Ebenen seiner Eigenverwirklichung. Es mag deshalb Mitglieder geben, welche auf diesem Pfad wandeln, um sich selber in dieser Phase erfüllen zu können. In diesem Lebensabschnitt muss man diesen Weg gehen, die Erwartungshaltung erfüllen und tapfer weiterschreiten. Aber es kommt der Moment, wo man diesen Weg erfüllt hat, wo man innehält und sich fragt, was der nächste Schritt im Leben ist. Man hat vielleicht Familie gehabt, konnte Karriere machen, oder aber musste alle Pläne aufgeben. Das Ende dieser Entwicklung ist dasselbe, man steckt fest im Materiellen, entweder aus Überfluss, oder aber aus Mangel. Es folgt eine Neuorientierung, durch welche man zurückblickt, und vorausblickt, und es wird klarer, was man verpasst hat und noch haben möchte, oder was man längst hinter sich gelassen hat. Eine neue Stufe der Entwicklung beginnt, die Geist- und Seelenentwicklung, die Entwicklung der Eigenkraft. Alles Materielle lässt man in dieser Phase los, orientiert sich wieder mehr am Machbaren und Nützlichen für das Leben selber, fängt an den Moment zu schätzen, und plant nicht mehr in die Zukunft, weil man zu der Auffassung gekommen ist, dass das Leben nicht in der Vergangenheit oder der Zukunft spielt, sondern im Hier und Jetzt. Deshalb macht man für den Moment genau das, was einem als das einzig Richtige erscheint. Und meistens ist genau das der glückliche Moment, an welchem man feststellt, dass man sein ganzes Leben vertan hat, weil man immer einer Zukunft nachgerannt ist, einer Zukunft welche vielleicht erreichbar war, oder aber auch nicht. Aber was spielte das für eine Rolle. Dieses Lebensgefühl dessen, dass man alles immer in die Zukunft verschiebt, weil man einem Plan zu folgen hat, ist vielleicht genau der grundlegende Fehler im Leben der meisten Menschen. Denn entweder werden sie den Plan erfüllen, oder sie werden ihn nicht erfüllen, aber das Leben ist für diese Zeit aufgeschoben, man lebt währenddessen nicht. Deshalb versucht der Orden Menschen zusammenzubringen, welche zuerst einmal im Hier und Jetzt zu leben in der Lage sind, und welche bei den Treffen alles hinter sich lassen, was in der Vergangenheit passiert ist, oder was in Zukunft noch passieren wird oder passieren könnte. Auch wird man darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass man nicht nur alle Pläne für das Beisammensein aufgeben sollte, sondern auch alle Formen von Hierarchien, von menschlichen Voraussetzungen, von Vermögen, Besitz, Eigentum und anderen Elementen und Bedingungen für das eigene Leben, um offen und frei zu sein, und es zu bleiben, für wahrheitliche, liebenswerte Annäherungen an die Gemeinschaft, und was als Bedingung dafür gilt, sich ohne Vorurteile oder Anhaftungen gegenseitig anzunähern. Die Treffen haben immer den eigenen, gewaltigen Auftrag, Menschen zu verbinden, sie einander näher zu bringen, aber ohne die gewaltigen Hürden, welche sie in der Gesellschaft gegeneinander aufgebaut haben, oder haben aufbauen müssen. Dass wir uns dabei zuhören, ist eine Selbstverständlichkeit, und muss nicht gesondert bemerkt werden. Nur derart bleiben wir offen genug, um einander in Stille zuhören zu können, oder von jemandem gehört zu werden, was die allererste Grundlage der menschlichen Interaktion ist. Wir wollen nicht urteilen, sondern zuhören, nicht verurteilen, sondern wertelos aufeinander zugehen. Dies bedingt, dass man selber in seinem Leben wichtige Ebenen seines eigenen Wesens aufgeräumt hat, dass man mit sich selber im Reinen ist, und nicht mehr am "Krieg der Welten" teilnimmt. Dass dabei das vorbildliche Wesen unseres Herrn Jesus Christus einen ganz wesentlichen Teil einnimmt, muss jedem klar sein, bevor er sich den Ordensmitgliedern annähert, oder die Nähe des Ordens sucht. Er mag darüber geteilter Meinung sein, welchen Avatar dafür kann genommen werden, er ist sogar frei, einen eigenen Avatar zu nehmen, aber dass es ohne einen Avatar als Grundlage nicht gehen kann, muss ihm eben so klar sein, wie es für die bereits bestehenden Mitglieder offenbar ist.

Wir sind kein Debattierklub, welcher die Welt und seine Gesetze verstehen möchte, welcher nach persönlichen Ansätzen der Interaktion sucht, sondern wir sind grundsätzlich daran interessiert, die Welt und ihre Gesetze zwar anzuerkennen, aber für jeden von uns einen mystischen Weg der Eigenentwicklung zu ermöglichen, durch welchen jeder von uns seinen eigenen, persönlichen Weg der Eigenkraft-Entwicklung finden kann. Wir suchen nicht den Rat der anderen, wir suchen nicht das Absolute einer Gemeinschaft, wir suchen auch nicht die Gemeinschaft selber, sondern wir suchen den mystischen Weg der Eigenkraftentwicklung, welche nur durch das Kollektiv überhaupt möglich wird. Wenigstens darin besteht eine gewisse Einigkeit unter uns, über welche wir interagieren, auf deren Ebene wir unsere Gedanken austauschen und uns, wenn notwendig, auch mit Rat und Tat zur Seite stehen können. Wir alle sehen uns als Zeitreisende in einer Welt der materiellen Unbarmherzigkeiten, und der Drang nach der vollendeten Liebe unseres eigenen Wesens, und der Drang nach geistig-seelischer Höherentwicklung treibt unser Wesen an. Ausserdem sind wir überzeugt davon, dass die Gemeinschaft uns heil machen kann, und dass sie uns vollendet. Denn es ist, war und wird niemals gut sein, wenn der Mensch alleine ist, sondern er soll die ganze Fülle der Gemeinschaft in sich spüren, soll daran teilnehmen und interagieren mit seinen Brüdern und Schwestern. Die Welt der Organisation, mit alle diesen finanziellen Sachmitteln, den Möglichkeiten oder Unmöglichkeiten, welche sich hierdurch bieten, sollen nicht einmal erwähnt werden. Denn wer Hilfe benötigt, dem wird Hilfe zuteil, und wer Hilfe geben kann, der gibt sie freigiebig und offen. Die Menschen waren nie an die Materie gebunden, sondern haben irgendwann entschieden, nach diesen Gesetzen zu handeln. Das mochte erzwungen worden sein, oder auf Freiwilligkeit basiert haben, Tatsache ist, dass auf einmal der Mensch begonnen hat, die materiellen Gesetze als seine eigentlichen Gesetze anzuerkennen, und dass er ab dieser Zeit sich alleinig und nur noch daran orientierte. Ab da lief die menschliche Zivilisation falsch, sie drehte sich um einen Pol, welcher künstlich von anderen für ihn gemacht wurde, und was er besser ungeschehen macht, als diesem nachzufolgen. Aus diesem Grund gedenkt unsere Gemeinschaft von Brüdern und Schwestern überall Versammlungen zu gründen, welche nach diesen Werten, Tugenden und Sitten leben, welche sich austauschen und gegenseitig für sich da sind, auch ohne eine Bezugnahme zum Materiellen, wie Geld, Vermögen, Eigentum, oder der geistigen Entsprechung von Macht oder Einfluss. Alle diese menschlichen Behinderungen lassen wir hinter uns, wenn wir denn zum Kern, der Gemeinschaft des Ordens des Sanktuariums, vorstossen wollen. Unser Herr Jesus Christus wird uns anleiten, und wird unseren Weg friedlich, sühnereich, ausgeglichen, wahrheitlich, liebenswert, gerecht und harmonisch begehbar machen lassen. Seinem Vorbild folgen wir deshalb, und dies gereicht uns zu unserer Gerechtigkeit, auf dass uns keine Sünde begleite, keine Ungerechtigkeit uns in Frage stelle, und niemand uns von aussen angreife, es sei denn berechtigterweise, weil wir diesem Pfade nicht mehr nachfolgten.

The Order's Attitude Toward the World

An essential element for the Order and its attitude toward the world and its society arises from the fact that one knows precisely the condition of the world, and understands how people are bound into groups of interests and connected with one another. This means that a clear distinction is made between the interests of the Order itself and the interests of the world, which can be recognized by its extraordinary complexity. There are interests in this world which far exceed the sphere of influence of the Order, and into whose domain no one from the Order would ever wish to interfere. There are clear structures in the world, visible and invisible powers and their allied interests, and the Order possesses neither the capacity nor the purpose to interfere in these circumstances. Its fate would be no other than that it would have to dissolve itself if it were to set its mind on combining its own interests with those of others, thwarting their plans, or even attempting to place itself above those interests. None of this is the plan of the Order, but rather to give to everyone what is due to them and what rightfully belongs to them according to their eminent function. The Order itself, however, wishes to fulfill itself among its own kind, under the principle of religious freedom and the freedom to create, under the protection of freedom of speech and universal human rights, according to its own convictions, so that through this it may contribute to the healing of the world, so that through this it may make humanity and the world a little better, even if only to a limited extent and with limited material resources. Even if only a single soul is restored to health, and a single human being thereby returns to the path of virtue, morality, and good values, then the undertaking has already been worthwhile. For this reason, the Order is primarily devoted to supporting people in their material and spiritual development toward becoming better human beings, and thereby accompanying them on their path as best it can. The virtues of the Order, however, are forced upon no one; they are never imposed by violence. Where there is no open ear for embracing this new way of life, and no desire to join with people in this spirit, everyone is free to reject all services, all advice, and all opportunities for good support, and to withdraw from us, or simply to be left in peace by us. We do not impose our faith in humanity and in the mutual support of human beings as the goal of humanity's development upon anyone. We do not mock anyone, nor do we insult anyone should they hold a different opinion. With our own approach we neither proselytize nor peddle ourselves, and we keep our distance from people as long as they do not call upon us. But whoever knows us and calls upon us, we willingly serve when they are in need and distress. These services are rendered by us without asking for anything in return. For work and a kind word, but above all fellowship, are things that we can always give wholeheartedly. It is the fellowship of members who have freely, of their own free will, entered into our collective. At the same time, however, we make a strict distinction between the personal sphere and the professional or societal sphere. It may be that someone bears truly weighty responsibilities in their profession or within society. In that case we support them in all their good endeavors, but we will refuse every form of cooperation wherever they pursue evil intentions-whether to exploit their fellow human beings, to oppress them, or to make use of their labor without providing them with fair compensation in another form. Whoever enters our spiritual Order, which has no material or worldly presence, will find nothing that binds them to an organization, but only and solely a fellowship of the spirit, which may be organized in one way here, in an entirely different way elsewhere, and which may again be structured differently in every age and in every place. We possess no organizational body; we are neither an association, nor an institute, nor any other organization. We may not even meet in public places. Rather, we are simply there for one another, and sometimes we meet in one particular way, and at other times in another way. The path to us is diverse, just as the ways in which brothers and sisters come into contact with one another are diverse. The only thing that binds us is the way of Jesus Christ, who sought to heal the world. We do this by following the truth, by seeing love as our companion on the way, by remaining deeply rooted in our own ancestral lineages, and by following our Avatar, Jesus Christ. It is this path that we wish to pass on to those who walk alongside us, offering them this wonderful gift of a very simple way of life. Faithful to the saying: Be truthful and upright with one another, and love one another as Jesus Christ has loved you! You need fulfill nothing more than this. It is all that you are able to give, and all that you are able to receive within yourselves. This message holds no secrets, promotes no hierarchies, contains no concealed or withheld information, and there are no superiors within the Order. Every brother and every sister simply have brothers and sisters. According to this principle of equality before Jesus Christ and before the laws of Creation, we live as Jesus Christ Himself lived during His earthly lifetime, and as He served as a living ideal for many people, continuing even beyond His death to exert His influence through the power of those who followed Him, carrying His message throughout the whole world.

Life is far simpler than you believe it to be. What matters are not material affairs, nor whether one is able to earn money and build a career, but whether one can survive as a good human being in a world that has failed beyond measure, among people who are themselves wicked beyond measure, how one survives, and how one treats the people around oneself. For if you treat them badly, they in turn will only be able to commit bad deeds against those around them, and they will seek revenge upon you and upon their surroundings. But if you treat your fellow human beings well and with appreciation, then you will likewise receive these fruits in return, and you will be helping to make this world a better place. Nor are you equally capable of walking this path if you lock yourselves away in a monastery, if you place walls between yourselves and the world. For your calling is not to isolate yourselves from society, nor to withdraw into your own world, but to offer help-in the form of truth and love-where it is so urgently needed by the people. Nor does this require an ordination, nor an oath, nor anything more than personal conviction. And if your plan or your desire is born from the love of the heart and is accompanied by the truth, then you are already upon the right path, and you may join your brothers and sisters, that you may be sanctified in your very being, and that you may heal people-healing them in body, in mind, and in soul. This is your calling upon the earth, so that you may become like Me. For I have no secrets from you, nor do I demand the impossible of you. Therefore let each give what he is capable of giving, willing to give, and able to give; and when he gives, let him give from the heart and with sound reason, so that it may create as much good as possible, and endure for as long as possible. For there can never be too much of what is good, just as evil itself believes that it can always become a little more evil. The evil deeds committed upon the earth are so exceedingly numerous that one could scarcely believe them possible, and in many places and at many times people live as though in hell, yet still fail to recognize the evil, and neither flee from that place and that time nor attempt to transform hell back into paradise. Yet not every one of these accursed places can be saved. For if souls dwell within them who are themselves seeking evil, then one can scarcely turn them away from their own will, and there is no benefit in being dragged down into the abyss together with them. In everything that comes upon you, you always have the opportunity to escape from it, to devote yourselves to something else, and to transform evil into good. Yet this is always easier when one already dwells within a human community whose members one can trust, who are themselves creative beings of goodness, and who have devoted their souls to exercising this creative power to bring forth good at all times and in every place. Then it becomes easier for everyone, for shared joy remains doubled joy within a human community, and shared sorrow is but half sorrow, just as an old proverb has long planted this wisdom within mankind. Life is neither difficult nor complex. It is the proverbial hell on earth because many people have chosen that path. At the same time, however, all truths are very simple, and there are no secrets in life except this: that everyone must find truth and love for themselves. They cannot purchase them, nor can they receive them from another. They must discover them for themselves, and before anything else, they must first learn to value them. This is possible only when one has already passed through the human hell of all worlds oneself, and when one has personally experienced the unimaginable wickedness of human beings within society. Through this mire of sin you must pass; through this hell you must walk, so that you may be reborn as a purified human being. The world of hell is therefore magical because it truly possesses the power to allow human beings to grow inwardly and spiritually, and to make them into better people. It should be noted, however, that even then many find it difficult to continue along this path. That is why there is the fellowship of the Order, and the opportunity to walk this path together with us. We make no promises, we have no grand plan, we possess no organization, we demand no money from you-but you should be willing to walk this path together with us. That is all we ask of you. It is not much, yet for many it is already too much. For they cannot even give what ought to be a simple matter of course among human beings: to listen, to ask, to inquire, to ask after another's feelings and state of mind, and to witness the miracle of compassion at work among their brothers and sisters. So that brothers and sisters may place complete trust in one another. Therein lies a great power of love and of healing, and by this you shall be able to walk the path together.

Yet we have no intention of applying our simple teaching only among ourselves. Rather, with our truth, our love, and our compassion, we embrace all people. Every person is, to us, a brother or a sister, and we approach him or her with the same intention as we do our own members of the Order. We make no strict distinction between the Order and the world. Everything we speak is adorned with truth, and everything we do is encompassed by love. Thus we approach all people, being more than merely an example to them. We are incorruptible, we demand no money, and we ask for nothing that would be impossible for human beings to give. And whenever we do ask for something, it serves exclusively a good cause, namely to help people resolve the problems that exist among them. For most of the problems between human beings are created by greed, ignorance, and thoughtlessness, and when the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ has departed from them, they can scarcely be restrained any longer and must be left to themselves. For evil knows no repentance, nor does it know compassion, and many people allow themselves to be ruled by this evil because they are unable to speak truthfully, have never learned to love with compassion, and are interested in nothing beyond their own materialism. This means that such people know only themselves. Yet there are two kinds of people among them. Some are wicked beyond measure and possess a black heart; others have become evil because their hearts have hardened. For the latter, there remains the possibility that their hearts may yet be healed. For the former, it is too late, and destiny takes its course. To be good, to be spiritually rich and fulfilled in the heart, one has no need of worldly treasures. One needs only the consent of love within one's heart and the guidance of reason in one's own attitude toward the world. Yet even then things will not be exactly as you imagined them to be, for every brother and every sister is different, and you may wish to cultivate a deeper relationship with only a few. Let this be left to your own freedom and your own judgment, for it is you yourselves who decide where you wish to be, what you wish to do, with whom you wish to do it, or whether you wish to do it at all. In this world, reciprocity always requires two people, or more. If you find them, friendships will arise, trust will adorn your path, and great things may come into being. Great things among yourselves, but also great things for your entire surroundings in the world. It is by these deeds that you must allow yourselves to be measured, and not merely by the convictions that you carry within yourselves. Unite with one another, and you will come to recognize that, in the end, it is only your deeds that determine whether you are good human beings or not. It is by these that Jesus Christ, whom you have chosen as your guide, measures you, and through whom you yourselves are healed. Therefore follow the example of Jesus Christ, but choose the path of friendship, and join yourselves to your own kind in openness and truth, in love and in compassion, so that through you the world may be healed.

Die Haltung des Ordens gegenüber der Welt

Ein wesentliches Element für den Orden und seine Haltung gegenüber der Welt und seiner Gesellschaft entsteht hierdurch, dass man genau Bescheid weiss über die Lage der Welt, wie die Menschen in Interessengruppierungen gebunden und untereinander verbunden sind. Dies bedeutet, dass klar unterschieden wird zwischen den Interessen des Ordens selber, und den Interessen der Welt, welche an ihrer aussergewöhnlichen Vielschichtigkeit zu erkennen ist. Es gibt Interessen auf dieser Welt, welche den Machtbereich des Ordens bei weitem übersteigen, und in deren Bereich niemand aus dem Orden jemals sich einmischen möchte. Es gibt klar Strukturen in der Welt, sichtbar oder unsichtbare Mächte und deren verbündete Interessen, und der Orden hat weder das Vermögen, noch den Zweck, sich in diese Gegebenheiten einzumischen. Sein los wäre auch anders nicht, als dass er sich in Auflösung begeben müsste, wenn er es denn darauf abgesehen hätte, seine Interessen mit den anderer zu verbinden, deren Pläne zu durchkreuzen oder sogar sich über diese Interesse erheben zu wollen. Alle dies ist nicht der Plan des Ordens, sondern jedem zu geben, was ihm gebührt und was ihm gemäss seiner überragenden Funktion zusteht. Der Orden selber aber möchte unter Seinesgleichen, unter der Forderung von Religionsfreiheit und Schaffensfreiheit, unter der Regelung der freien Rede und der allgemeinen Menschenrechte, sich selber nach seinen eigenen Vorstellungen erfüllen, und damit er hierdurch die Welt in Gesundung bringen kann, damit er hierdurch die Menschheit und die Welt ein Stück besser machen kann, wenn auch nur begrenzt und mit eingeschränkten Sachmitteln. Wenn dabei auch nur eine Seele wieder gesund wird, und ein einziger Mensch hierdurch auf den Pfad der Tugend, der Sitten und der guten Werte zurückkommt, dann hat sich das Unterfangen bereits gelohnt. Deshalb hat es der Orden vor allem darauf abgesehen, Menschen bei ihrer materiellen und geistigen Entwicklung zum besseren Menschen zu unterstützen, und um damit seinen Pfad, so gut es geht, zu begleiten. Die Tugenden des Ordens werden aber niemandem aufgedrängt, werden niemals mit Gewalt durchgesetzt, und wo kein offenes Ohr dafür besteht, die neue Lebensart aufnehmen zu wollen, und damit man sich mit Menschen verbinden kann, dem sei es freigestellt, alle Leistungen, alle Ratschläge und alle guten Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten abzulehnen und sich von uns zurückzuziehen, oder von uns in Ruhe gelassen zu werden. Unseren Glauben an die Menschlichkeit und die gegenseitige Unterstützung von Menschen, als dem Ziel der Menschheitsentwicklung, drängen wir niemandem auf, wir machen uns über niemanden lustig und beschimpfen niemanden, wenn er anderer Meinung sein sollte. Mit unserem eigenen Ansatz gehen wir nicht missionieren und nicht hausieren, und halten uns von Menschen ferne, solange sie nicht nach uns rufen. Wer uns aber kennt und ruft, dem dienen wir freiwillig, wenn er in Not und Drangsal ist. Diese Leistungen werden von uns erfüllt, ohne Gegenleistung zu verlangen. Denn Arbeit und ein gutes Wort, aber vor allem die Gemeinschaft, ist etwas, war wir guten Herzens immer geben können. Die Gemeinschaft der Mitglieder, welche sich freiwillig, aus freiem Willen, in unser Kollektiv begeben hat. Dabei trennen wir aber strikte die persönliche Ebene von der beruflichen oder gesellschaftlichen Ebene. Es mag sein, dass ein jemand wahrhaft schwere Pflichten im Beruf oder der Gesellschaft hat. Dann unterstützen wir ihn in alle seinen guten Unternehmungen, aber werden dort jegliche Kooperation versagen, wo er schlechte Absichten mit sich führt, um die Mitmenschen auszubeuten, zu unterdrücken, oder sich ihrer Arbeit zu bedienen, ohne dass sie eine Gegenleistung in anderer Form dafür entrichten. Wer in unseren geistigen Orden eintritt, welcher keine materielle oder weltliche Präsenz hat, wird nichts antreffen, was ihn an eine Organisation bindet, sondern nur und alleine eine Gemeinschaft des Geistes, die hier vielleicht auf diese Art organisiert ist, an einem anderen Orte wiederum ganz anders, und welche in jeder Zeit und an jedem Orte wieder anders strukturiert sein kann. Wir verfügen über keinen organisatorischen Körper, wird sein weder ein Verein, noch ein Institut oder eine andere Organisation, und wir treffen uns vielleicht nicht einmal in öffentlichen Räumen, sondern wir sind einfach da füreinander, und manchmal treffen wir uns auf diese spezielle Art, dann wieder auf eine andere Art. Der Weg zu uns ist verschieden, und ebenso, wie die Brüder und Schwestern untereinander in Verbindung treten. Was uns einzig bindet ist der Weg von Jesus Christus, welcher die Welt versuchte zu heilen, und dies tun wir, indem wir der Wahrheit nachfolgen, die Liebe als unseren Wegbegleiter sehen, stark in unseren eigenen Erblinien verwurzelt sind, und unserem Avatar Jesus Christus nachfolgen. Diesen Weg möchten wir gerne an Mitgehende übergeben, und ihnen dieses wunderbare Angebot der sehr einfachen Haltung mitgeben. Getreu nach dem Spruch: Seiet wahrheitlich und aufrecht miteinander und liebet euch, so wie Jesus Christus euch geliebt hat! Mehr müsst ihr nicht erfüllen, es ist alles, was ihr geben könnt, und was ihr selber in euch aufzunehmen in der Lage sei. Diese Botschaft hat keine Geheimnisse, fördert keine Hierarchien, es gibt keine verdeckten, verschwiegenen Informationen, und es gibt keinerlei Vorgesetze im Orden. Jeder Bruder und jede Schwester haben Brüder und Schwestern, und nach diesem Grundsatz der Gleichheit vor Jesus Christus und den Schöpfungsgesetzen leben wir, so, wie Jesus Christus es gemacht hat zu seinen eigenen Lebzeiten, und wie er als lebendes Idol für viele Menschen wirkte, um bis über seinen Tod hinaus diese Wirkkraft weiterhin zu erhalten, durch die Kraft seiner ihm Nachfolgenden, welche seine Botschaft bis in die ganze Welt getragen haben.

Das Leben ist einfacher gestrickt, als ihr es für möglich haltet. Wichtig sind nicht die materiellen Angelegenheiten, und ob man Geld verdienen kann und Karriere macht, sondern ob man als guter Mensch in einer abgrundtief gescheiterten Welt mit eben so abgrundtief bösartigen Menschen überhaupt überleben kann, wie man es tut, und wie man die Menschen um sich herum behandelt. Denn behandelt ihr sie schlecht, so werden sie wiederum nur schlechte Taten an ihrer Umwelt vollbringen können, und werden sich an euch und ihrer Umwelt rächen. Behandelt ihr die Mitmenschen aber gut und wertschätzend, so werdet ihr diese Früchte ebenfalls zurückbekommen, und ihr seid daran, diese Welt zu einem besseren Ort zu machen. Und diesen Weg seid ihr nicht in gleichem Ausmasse fähig zu gehen, wenn ihr euch in ein Kloster einsperrt, wenn ihr Wände setzt zwischen euch und die Welt. Denn euer Auftrag ist nicht, euch von der Gesellschaft abzukapseln, euch in eure eigene Welt zurückzuziehen, sondern dort Hilfe, in Form von Wahrheit und Liebe anzubieten, wo dieses so dringend von den Menschen benötigt wird. Auch benötigt es keine Weihe dazu, benötigt es keinen Schwur und nichts mehr als die persönliche Überzeugung. Und wenn euer Plan oder Wunsch von der Liebe des Herzens geboren wird, und von der Wahrheit begleitet wird, dann seid ihr bereits auf dem richtigen Weg, und könnt euch den Brüdern und Schwestern anschliessen, auf dass ihr geheiligt sei in eurem Wesen, und auf dass ihr Menschen heilen könnt, heilen an Leibe, an Geist und an Seele. Das ist euer Auftrag auf Erden, und damit ihr mir ähnlich werden könnt. Denn ich habe keine Geheimnisse vor euch, noch verlange ich von euch das Unmögliche. So gebe jeder, was er fähig, willens und in der Lage ist zu geben, und wenn er es gibt, dann von Herzen und mit guter Vernunft, auf dass es möglichst viel Gutes erschaffe, und möglichst auf lange Zeiten. Denn von dem Guten kann niemals zuviel sein, genau so wenig, wie das Böse von sich selber hält, dass es immer noch ein wenig böser werden könne. Der schlechten Taten auf Erden sind so dermassen viele, dass man es fast nicht für möglich halten würde, und wie die Menschen vielerorts und zu manchen Zeiten wie in der Hölle leben, aber dennoch das Übel nicht erkennen und dem Ort und der Zeit nicht entfliehen, oder versuchen, die Hölle wieder in ein Paradies zu verwandeln. Nicht jeder dieser verruchten Orte aber kann gerettet werden. Denn wenn sich in ihnen Seelen aufhalten, welche auf der Suche sind nach dem Bösen, so kann man sie kaum von ihrem Willen abbringen, und dann wird es auch nichts bringen, welcher mit in den Abgrund gerissen zu werden. Ihr habt, bei allem, was auf euch trifft, immer die Möglichkeit, diesem zu entweichen, euch für etwas anderes einzusetzen, und das Böse in Gutes zu wandeln. Einfacher aber geht es immer, wenn man dazu bereits in einer menschlichen Gruppe verweilt, deren Mitglieder man vertrauen kann, und welche selber Schöpferwesen des Guten sind, und welche ihre Seele daran verloren haben, mit dieser Schöpferkraftleistung allezeiten und überall Gutes zu bewirken. Dann ist es einfacher für alle, denn geteilte Freude bleibet doppelte Freude in einer menschlichen Gesellschaft, und geteiltes Leid ist nur halbes Leid, wie ein Sprichwort diese Weisheit schon längst als Anlage in die Menschen gesetzt hat. Das Leben ist nicht schwierig und komplex, es ist die sprichwörtliche Hölle auf Erden, weil viele Menschen sich für diesen Weg entschieden haben. Gleichzeitig aber sind alle Wahrheiten ganz einfach, und es stecken keine Geheimnisse im Leben, als diejenigen, dass jeder die Wahrheit und die Liebe selber finden muss, und sich diese nicht erkaufen kann, noch von anderen übergeben lassen kann. Er muss sie selber finden, und er muss sie dafür zu allererst einmal schätzen lernen. Dies ist nur möglich, wenn man selber schon durch die menschliche Hölle aller Welten hindurchgegangen ist, und wenn man die unvorstellbare Bösartigkeit der Menschen in der Gesellschaft selber erlebt hat. Durch diesen Sündenpfuhl musst du gehen, durch diese Hölle wandern, damit du als geläuterter Mensch wiedergeboren werden kannst. Die Welt der Hölle ist deshalb magisch, weil sie tatsächlich die Kraft hat, Menschen innerlich-geistig wachsen zu lassen, und sie zu besseren Menschen werden zu lassen. Wohlgemerkt fällt es auch dann vielen schwer, diesen Weg weiterzugehen. Deshalb gibt es dafür die Anhängerschaft des Ordens, und die Möglichkeit, diesen Weg mit uns zusammen zu gehen. Wir machen keine Versprechungen, haben keinen Plan, verfügen über keinerlei Organisation, verlangen kein Geld von dir, aber du sollest den Weg mit uns gehen wollen. Das ist alles, was wir von dir verlangen. Es ist nicht viel, aber für viele eben bereits zuviel. Denn sie können selbst das nicht geben, was für Menschen einfach eine Selbstverständlichkeit sein sollte. Zuhören, nachfragen, sich erkunden, nach den Gefühlen und der Stimmungslage fragen, und das Wunder des Mitgefühls an seinen Brüdern und Schwestern sich auswirken sehen. Damit die Brüder und Schwestern sich vollendet auf Ihresgleichen verlassen können. Darin liegt eine grosse Kraft der Leibe und der Heilung, und damit werdet ihr den Weg gemeinsam gehen können.

Aber wir haben keine Absicht, unsere einfache Lehre an uns selber nur anzuwenden, sondern wir fassen mit unserer Wahrheit, mit unserer Liebe und mit unserem Mitgefühl alle Menschen mit ein. Ein jeder ist für uns ein Bruder oder eine Schwestern, und wir treten ihm oder ihr mit gleicher Absicht gegenüber, wie gegenüber unseren Ordensmitgliedern. Wir machen keine strikte Trennung zwischen dem Orden und der Welt. Alles was wir sagen, ist von der Wahrheit geschmückt, und alles was wir tun ist von der Liebe umfasst. So treten wir an alle Menschen heran, und sind dabei mehr als nur Vorbilder für alle Menschen, sondern wir sind unbestechlich, fordern kein Geld, und verlangen nichts, was für Menschen unmöglich wäre. Und wenn wir nach etwas fragen, dann dient es ausschliesslich einer guten Sache, und um den Menschen dabei zu helfen, die Probleme unter Menschen zu lösen. Denn die meisten der Probleme zwischen den Menschen werden von Gier, Ignoranz und Rücksichtslosigkeit erschaffen, und wenn der heilige Geist von Jesus Christus sie verlassen hat. Dann sind diese kaum mehr zu bändigen, und müssen sich selber überlassen werden. Denn das Böse kennt keine Reue, und es kennt kein Mitleid, und viele Menschen lassen sich von diesem Bösen beherrschen, weil sie weder wahrheitlich reden können, noch mitfühlend lieben gelernt haben, und auch nicht an Anderem interessiert sind, als denn an ihrem eigenen Materialismus. Dies bedeutet, dass diese Menschen allererst nur sich selber kennen. Aber es gibt deren zweierlei Menschen unter diesen. Die einen sind abgrundtief böse und haben ein schwarzes Herz, die anderen sind böse geworden, weil ihr Herz sich verhärtet hat. Bei den Zweiten besteht die Chance, dass ihr Herz gesund werden kann. Bei den Ersteren ist es zu spät, und das Schicksal nimmt seinen Lauf. Um gut zu sein, um geistig und von Herzen reich und erfüllt zu sein, braucht es keine weltlichen Schätze, es braucht nur das Einverständnis eurer Liebe im Herzen, und der Vernunft in eurer eigenen Haltung gegenüber der Welt. Aber selbst dann wird es nicht so sein können, wie ihr es euch vorgestellt habt, denn jeder Bruder und jede Schwester ist anders, und ihr werdet vielleicht nur mit wenigen einen vertieften Kontakt haben wollen. Das sei euch freigestellt und euch selber überlassen, denn es seid ihr selber, welche darüber entscheidet, wo ihr was machen wollte, mit wem ihr es machen wollte, oder ob ihr es überhaupt machen wollte. In der Welt benötigt es zu einer Gegenseitigkeit immer zwei Menschen, oder deren mehrere. Findet ihr diese, dann werden sich Freundschaften entwickeln, dann wird Vertrauen euren Weg schmücken, und dann kann Grosse entstehen. Grosses unter euch, aber auch Grosses für euer ganzes Umfeld in der Welt. Und an dieser Tat müsst ihr euch messen lassen, und nicht daran, welche inneren Überzeugungen alleine ihr in euch trägt. Verbindet euch, und ihr werdet erkennen, dass nur die Tat schlussendlich darüber entscheidet, ob ihr gute Menschen seid oder nicht. Daran bemüsst euch Jesus Christ, welchen ihr zu eurem Führer gewählt habt, und durch welchen ihr selber geheilt werdet. So folget denn dem Vorbild von Jesus Christus, aber wählet dazu den Weg der Freundschaft, und verbindet euch mit Euresgleichen, in Offenheit und Wahrheit, und in Liebe und in Mitgefühl, auf dass die Welt an euch heil werde.
