The mediumship of Jozef Rulof
for mankind
https://rulof.org/The-mediumship-of-Jozef-Rulof.html
By Ludo Vrebos, based on the books by Jozef Rulof.
Jozef Rulof was developed by the University of Christ to a fourth grade medium for mankind, as preparation for the technical medium1.
Grades of mediumship
Jozef Rulof was a medium, a means of contact between the hereafter and the earth. He was in contact with masters of the University of Christ. The article ‘University of Christ’ explains that these masters bring their spiritual wisdom to earth by means of inspiration and mediums.
There are many people who call themselves a medium. In order to gain a vision of the nature and the level of their mediumship, master Zelanus wrote the book ‘Spiritual Gifts’. Here, he explains that there are grades of mediumship which correspond to the ‘grades of feeling’. The article ‘grades of feeling’ explains that these are consecutive levels of feeling and love which we can master by experiencing many lives.
In each life, we gain experiences, as a result of which we develop feeling for something. The article ‘aptitude and talent and gift’ explains that we develop our own talents that are innate in our following lives. The more we work on a particular skill such as art painting for instance, the more feeling we have in the following life in order to expand this talent. It therefore requires many reincarnations in order to become a Rubens or Van Dyck.
This also applies to mediumship. Many lifetimes of study are needed in order to master feeling that can be deployed for mediumship. People already knew that in the temples of ancient Egypt. There, people only took on pupils who exhibited an exceptional talent in mastering the own body and the environment by means of concentration. The high priests knew that only naturally gifted people could reach the depth of mediumship as a result of which new wisdom could be passed on to the temple.
However, the temple priests did not know that there was also another deciding factor, namely the grade of feeling. Mediums of whom the grade of feeling is attuned to the first three grades of feeling cannot pass on any wisdom from the spheres of light. The article ‘spheres of light’ explains that these are the spiritual worlds in the hereafter, in which the divine light reflects the universal love of the inhabitants.
The article ‘dark spheres’ is about the spiritual worlds to which the first three grades of feeling are attuned. These spheres are given names such as the ‘Land of Hatred, Lust and Violence’ and the ‘Land of Twilight’. The grades of feeling are called pre-animal-like, animal-like and coarse-material. Generally speaking, it concerns self-love and wanting to experience the earthly material matter.
Most people on earth possess one of the first three grades of feeling. When they open their feeling to the hereafter, they attract inhabitants from the dark spheres, because they themselves are still not free as a personality from material feelings. When these people actually reach a spiritual contact with the hereafter, they are influenced and in the worst case even possessed by the inhabitants of the dark spheres. The article ‘insanity’ explains that people do not need to be a medium for this, many people have lost their day-consciousness in this way and are called psychotic nowadays.
The masters of the light do not connect themselves with mediums who still have material feelings or self-love because they know that they will go down sooner or later. After all, when a medium is open to influence, the inhabitants of the dark spheres can also manipulate this human being, because those dark characteristics of the medium cannot be protected by the masters. Being open is then literally life-threatening, as a result of which many mediums permanently lost their day-consciousness and body.
Many people think that they possess spiritual gifts, but only experience the material clairvoyance and the telepathic sensing. Now and again they ‘strike lucky’, but only when they gauge someone on earth who belongs to their own grade of feeling. In fact, they experience the same sensitivity as a dog which senses when its owner is coming home. When they think that they have contact with the hereafter, they give themselves an answer to the questions asked.
People who want to come into contact with the hereafter, already close themselves off to the contact with the spheres of light by means of their will. The masters only connect themselves with mediums who do not seek contact of their own accord, but do want to serve mankind unconditionally and devote their own lives to this out of selfless love.
This self wanting also limits the people who are called magicians, fakirs, yogis and initiates. They want to control something with their own personality and usually refuse help from masters. However, even if they open themselves to this, the masters never serve an earthly personality.
No one on earth possesses spiritual gifts himself which are attuned to the spheres of light. The masters control those gifts and let the medium see, hear and feel what they find necessary that the medium receives. After all, only the masters can oversee and know with certainty what will help mankind to make progress.
A medium who is attuned to the spheres of light as a result of his fourth grade of feeling can serve for mankind. The masters can preserve that medium from every material influence. After all, for passing on a spiritual message it is necessary that the own feeling and thinking of the medium is disengaged at that moment, so that the message is not influenced by his personality. In order to prevent the influence of personal knowledge on the message, the masters must also close off the subconscious of the fourth grade medium. They then only use the mediumistic feeling that the medium has built up during many lives in order to reach spiritual sensitivity, but they prevent the concrete personal experiences from past lives.
Jozef Rulof lived in the fourth grade of feeling and as a result he could also master the wisdom passed on. For him the spiritual departing from the body could be developed, so that he could make journeys and gain experiences with the masters in the hereafter. By experiencing the spiritual gifts, he could expand his inner life and increase his grade of feeling. As a result, he could rise to the border of the fifth grade of feeling that is attuned to the fourth sphere of light, in which master Zelanus lives. And he could ultimately also receive the cosmology, which shows the explanations of the masters at soul level. The article ‘explanation at soul level’ explains that the masters were capable at that time of describing the reality as they had determined that for themselves. Up to that moment, they had had to limit themselves to the earthly thinking, because the medium first had to be developed in order to be able to receive the cosmology.
