Introduction

Anyone who reads the spiritual textbooks of Bô Yin Râ or is determined to read it will form his or her own idea of reality. They should not adopt any ideas that another reader of this textbook has formed.

Reading the teachings of Bô Yin Râ the mind will build an idea of the all-encompassing existence that conforms to reality. The most important thing, however, is to read the words of his teaching so carefully that they are felt in the soul, and absorbed by the soul. Then his words are spiritual light for the soul and the reader can find his or her eternal.

We are in the fortunate position that his complete spiritual teaching is available in the form of 32 books and everyone who wants to recognise the truth given in them, i.e. feel and experience it within themselves, must read his books.

The following pictorial overview can be the outline of a map for people seeking spiritual truth, on which they can recognise their situation at a glance. The motivation to provide this overview, which was initially created for my own understanding, is that so many people are losing or have already lost their faith in God because they recognise unsolvable problems and contradictions in the existing religious teachings. The two best-known problems are theodicy and predestination. The Christian doctrine of the Trinity cannot be understood and believed by all Christians either. There is no clear teaching on life after death of our physical body and modern theology is no longer sure what happens after death.

The spiritual teaching given by Bô Yin Râ is free of these problems.

With the help of this overview, the mind can form an introductory idea of the realms of existence, the revelations of God, the "Luminaries who mediate eternal light", the spiritual beings and the completely material beings. In particular, it is shown how it comes about that we human beings live here on earth, in the realm of matter. Of the greatest importance for us is the path to return to the realm of spirit, which the "Luminaries who mediate eternal light" are preparing for us. Jesus, the greatest loving man who ever lived on earth, is one of this high spiritual community, whose head is the "heavenly father" who lives eternally in the immeasurable spiritual Primordial Light.

The pictorial representations use simple symbols, which are explained in brief descriptions. The selection of the content presented is subjective and can in no way do justice to the fullness of the entire spiritual teaching.

Bô Yin Râ frees the mind, which is imprisoned by the the misconceptions of the biblical story of creation. » Such a conception of God and explanation of the world was only excusable in prehistoric times ... . To want to retain it now is equal parts folly and blasphemy! « It is not the truth that God created man as a being with a material body to live on earth in the realm of matter. Rather, every human being was conceived as a spiritual being in the spiritual kingdom of God, where they could live eternally creatively and in unimaginably great happiness. This corresponds to the idea of an all-powerful, loving God who provides a happy existence for the beings he has created.

Every human being who lives or has ever lived on earth decided of his own free will to leave the realm of spirit an unthinkably long time ago in order to enter the realm of matter.
The human being on earth therefore entered a realm of existence that was never intended for him and is himself responsible for the consequences of his act. After all, he has to be born on earth in a physical body, the human animal body and live under the individually different conditions known to us.

The theological problem that a loving God has placed so many people in a hard and often very painful life no longer arises.

Nor has God predetermined a person's fate. Every person has determined their own destiny through the decisions of their own free will. For before a person is born on earth, he or she worked for a long time in an immeasurably large realm of matter known as the "invisible physical realm", where he or she created the destiny that awaits him or her on earth.

I created this mind-appealing pictorial overview with great care, endeavouring to ensure that the depictions correspond to the teachings. To grasp and understand the subtleties, the original textbooks must be read. It is clear that this introductory overview was never intended to represent the wide variety of topics contained in the 32 textbooks. For example, there is a lack of appropriate references to the very detailed descriptions of so many aspects of human life, cultural and social developments and influences, – and the spiritual path. The profundity of the original texts cannot be represented in any overview or other treatise. Only by reading the textbooks can its words be absorbed by the soul and become spiritual light in the sense of Bô Yin Râ.

Nevertheless, this overview may be helpful for some people who are looking for a brilliant spiritual teaching and a real spiritual path.
