5414 In the beginning was the Word....

June 16, 1952: Book 60

In the beginning was the Word.... and it will be for all eternity, for I Myself Am the Word, Who is without beginning and without end and yet spoke the Word in the beginning of everything that emerged from Me, in which My strength expressed itself. My Word resounded for that which I created, that is, it heard My Word within itself, it recognised its thinking ability, it was able to exchange itself with like-created beings and that which came alive in it as a thought was My Word, the transfer of My will, My knowledge and My love onto the beings which had originated from Me.... I was eternal, there was no limitation for Me, unimaginable light and strength radiated from Me, yet My Word, the expression of My abundance of thoughts, found no resonance because apart from Me there was nothing of substance which was able to absorb what flowed out of Me, which as it were formed the resonance for My Word but which in turn could not have been anything else as I was Myself because otherwise it would not have been able to bear My emanating flood of love. The act of creating a being like Me was therefore a need that corresponded to My fundamental nature, for love, the epitome of My nature, wanted to give, to make happy, to give away its inherent power. And love therefore created a vessel into which it could pour itself.... My love created a being in equal perfection, and now I distributed Myself by transferring My will, My thinking and My love onto this being, and the transfer of that which had its origin in Me was 'My Word....' I Myself entered into the being created by Me and this being was now able to think, will and act like Me because My Word taught it, because My essence was reflected in this being created by Me. In the beginning was the Word.... Only through My Word did the first-created being recognise itself, and it also recognised Me; only through My Word, through the manifestation of Myself, was it able to recognise itself as a being, it was able to form its own thoughts which, however, were only conveyed to it by Me Myself, which were the Word spoken by Me within it which manifested our unity. For I was the creating Power Which was able to create beings in My image, I was the original centre Which radiated Its strength into infinity and was able to utilise it according to Its will. The 'giving' principle in Me therefore required a 'receiving' being in order to be able to make it happy. But this being had to be able to recognise Me, and I revealed Myself to it through the Word.... which was the same as My emanation of love, which gave life to the created being, which enabled it to work as a freely externalised being in wisdom and power.... to recognise Me Myself and, out of this realisation, also to carry My will within itself.... For the Word is the moulded thought which emanates from Me and is imparted to the being and which determines its activity.... The Word was in the beginning.... Only that which was created by Me needed the Word, the transmission of My thoughts in a form which could be received by the being, through which it now remained in constant contact with Me and also in constant bliss. And since that which was called into being by Me can no longer cease to exist in eternity, My Word will not cease to exist either.... It will always be the expression of Myself to My living creations, it will never ever be changed.... Heaven and earth will pass away but My Word will continue to exist for all eternity....

Amen
