Extra Lecture

[ 1 ] 3000 BC began [the] Kali Yuga, [it] lasted until

[ 2 ] 1899–1933 transition period – people will again emerge with clairvoyant abilities, which they will develop naturally.

[ 3 ] In the period we are heading towards, the emerging clairvoyant abilities must be satisfied, experienced, and they must know what to do with them.

[ 4 ] I am with you always, even to the end of the world. Christ will appear in an ethereal form. The physical Christ has become the spirit of our Earth – that was the center, the lever of Earth's evolution.

[ 5 ] 5th Epistle of the Apocalypse: I will come, but be careful lest you not recognize me.

[ 6 ] Mankind has 2500 years to develop clairvoyant gifts again. Around 1933, the gospels must be recognized in their spiritual sense so that they have had a preparatory effect for the Christ. Otherwise, the soul would be subject to endless confusion.

[ 7 ] Around 1933, there will be many emissaries of black magic schools who will falsely proclaim a physical Christ. The Christ is perceptible every time he is to become perceptible, for different abilities.
