Jozef Rulof
Introduction
In more than 11,000 pages of universal knowledge from the 27 books which were brought to earth through Jozef Rulof, you will be able to find a univeral answer to deep questions of life.
The university of knowledge allows us to see the profound connection of all life, and the wonderful evolution of mankind and the universe from a tiny origin to a cosmic destination.
We describe here how Jozef Rulof was able to receive all this knowledge.
His youth
Jozef Rulof was born in 1898 in 's Heerenberg, a rural part of the Netherlands. His mother Crisje called him ‘Jeus’. Jeus is extraordinarily sensitive, he feels and sees things which other people cannot see. As a little boy he can already see a radiant form from the life after death. This spirit later makes himself known by the name of Alcar. As a spiritual guide he supports Jeus in every way and explains all the aspects of life to him. Jeus gets to know him as a close friend whom he can always count on. 
Jeus does not do well at school, because his life of feeling is not open to the dry learning material. That book learning does not enthral him. He would much rather listen to Alcar, who shows him with much feeling the beauty and the ways of Mother Nature. Later Alcar explains why Jeus could not absorb any knowledge at school. For that matter, all that social knowledge would get in the way of the wisdom which the spiritual world wishes to pass on to Jeus. ‘The life in two worlds’, which the first part of the biography ‘Jeus of Mother Crisje’ describes, is hard enough as it is for Jeus.
Jeus gets his education directly from the life after death and his spiritual Master has a much deeper understanding of the human being than the Masters from the earthly schools have. Alcar shows Jeus how the people around him live. What they say and what they keep silent about. What they know and especially what they still do not know. This is a tremendous learning experience for Jeus, described in the second part of the biography with the subtitle: ‘Jeus amongst the people’.
Painting mediumship
When Jeus moves to The Hague as an adult, he has to arm his personality against the very demanding life in the city. The people from The Hague call him ‘Jozef’ and he has to work hard as a taxi driver to earn a living for him and his wife. At the same time the spiritual world is now only just beginning for him. The third part of ‘Jeus of Mother Crisje’ describes how Alcar takes the Mediumship of Jozef Rulof to great heights.
His painting mediumship awakens. Alcar brings spiritual painters to Jozef Rulof and asks them to bring their astral art to earth by using the physical body of Jozef.
In order to achieve this Alcar puts Jozef into a deep grade of sleep, a trance state. Just as we lose the conscious control over our earthly body when we are falling asleep, Jozef also lets go of the control over his earthly body during the deep trance. At that moment Alcar takes over and he influences the nervous system and the muscular system of the material body of the medium in order to listen to his strong spiritual will. In this way Alcar can see through earthly eyes again and move material arms and hands in order to write down what he feels and thinks as a spiritual personality.
In order to make the trance of Jozef Rulof deeper, much painting is done first. Since various artists take over Jozef's body under the guidance of Alcar in order to bring their works of art to earth, the trance becomes deeper. By means of this, the painters can give more colour and refinement to the paintings. Despite the fact that Jozef Rulof did not study any art course, the paintings made by his hand show a rich diversity of styles of painting which were each individually finished off to a great height. This remarkable diversity and depth can be traced back to the various 'masters in the art of painting' who were able to bring their art to earth again through his painting mediumship.
An art album about his painting mediumship has been produced with the title of: ‘The painting mediumship of Jozef Rulof’. For more information about this art of painting, see this art album which contains almost 200 illlustrations.
This painting is therefore not a goal in itself, but it serves the building up of the writing mediumship.
Healing mediumship
His healing mediumship also emerges in that period and Jozef sets himself up as a magnetizer. During his magnetizing, Alcar shows Jozef how the material organs absorb the magnetic power. Jozef learns whom he can help and whom he cannot help. Alcar shows him how the love of the magnetizer determines whom he can help. Alcar explains that magnetism is power of feeling, and that the degree of love of the magnetizer determines and limits the height of this power of feeling. Jozef regularly gets people to treat whose physical state had deteriorated because of other magnetizers who did not radiate spiritual love.
For more information about the many aspects of Jozef Rulof's healing mediumship, see the triology 'A View into the Hereafter'.
Writing mediumship
And when Jozef has developed enough as a medium, Master Alcar can begin with his most important task: Writing the spiritual-scientific books.
In this way, Alcar, as an astral-spiritual being, is capable of 'living' again on earth and writing books which are not influenced by the earthly thinking of Jozef Rulof. For Jozef is not conscious of what is being written during the writing. When he awakens from the trance afterwards and reads what has been written it is also a revelation for him how those words were put on paper. Because of the deep grade of trance Alcar disengages every influence from Jozef, so that wisdom from the world after death can come to earth in a hundred percent pure state. This highest grade of mediumship is very rare.
However, this ‘letting go of the body’ is more difficult for the medium than the natural falling asleep. After all, the human personality is completely fused with the nervous system. Day in day out our thoughts pass through our nervous system and we make our bodies move by our will. By means of this our bodies are completely attuned to our own will, to our own life of feeling, to our own thoughts. In this way we develop a conscious but also an unconscious control over our bodies. Jozef has to let go of that control and that fusion of soul and body, all those nerve tissues must be freed from his human personality, so that Alcar can take over this nervous system.
To make this possible Alcar already began with building up this mediumship during the first years of Jozef’s life. Alcar had to prevent the personality of the medium from fusing too much with his body. Alcar already sometimes released Jozef from his body as a child, and he gave him the ability of ‘disembodying’ as a spirit. By means of this Alcar can later give the adult Jozef the ability of disembodying regularly and developing spiritually. During the trance he lets Jozef disembody from his material body so that Jozef can see and act as a spiritual personality in the astral life, the life of the spirit. Jozef considers this gift of disembodying the best aspect of his mediumship.
In this way he can see with his own spiritual eyes what Alcar is writing about. When a priest calls him a prophet, Jozef does not want to know, and he refers to the first part of ‘A View into the Hereafter’:
I am clairvoyant and clairaudient, a painting, healing and writing medium, but to be able to depart from the body, that is the most beautiful of all gifts.
To be able to stay there and to see their lives, oh, that is so wonderful! (…)
“You are a prophet.” “No, reverend, I am not, I am just an ordinary person like all people, but what I am telling you is the truth. Is it not wonderful to tell people about an eternal life, as you experienced yourself? (…) “You could tell a lot about it”, he said. “I have already done that and if you want to know about my leader and my life and that of those on the Other Side, then you can take the first part of my book with you, I have them in the bookcase here. You will get a true picture of life after death there.”
In ‘A View into the Hereafter’ Alcar explains to Jozef why this is so important: To be able to stay there and to see their lives, oh, that is so wonderful! (…)
“You are a prophet.” “No, reverend, I am not, I am just an ordinary person like all people, but what I am telling you is the truth. Is it not wonderful to tell people about an eternal life, as you experienced yourself? (…) “You could tell a lot about it”, he said. “I have already done that and if you want to know about my leader and my life and that of those on the Other Side, then you can take the first part of my book with you, I have them in the bookcase here. You will get a true picture of life after death there.”
Those who Returned from the Dead
We will guide the people onto this beautiful path, so that they may later develop and see the light in the Hereafter when they die on earth.
This is our task (…) Man lives in matter, because of it and along with it, which causes him to forget the spiritual aspect, the beautiful part that must help man’s soul to grow. And you’ll be surprised to hear that the soul is kept from growing because man refuses to accept the reality of a life after death.
Alcar lets Jozef experience everything in the spirit first and then what he experienced is recorded in writing. In this way Jozef can also ‘represent’ the books, because he has experienced everything himself. And when Alcar and Alcar’s leaders start to build up their university of spiritual-scientific knowledge in 14 titles, Jozef can grow along with the depth of each new book. This also explains why the next book goes even deeper into the spiritual laws which are the basis of their and our earthly life, because in this way it keeps pace with what Jozef can deal with. This is our task (…) Man lives in matter, because of it and along with it, which causes him to forget the spiritual aspect, the beautiful part that must help man’s soul to grow. And you’ll be surprised to hear that the soul is kept from growing because man refuses to accept the reality of a life after death.
A View into the Hereafter
Master Zelanus, a spiritual leader of Jozef Rulof, says about this:
I have been connected to Jeus since his birth, so I know his life of feeling and know how to deal with it.
But Master Alcar himself is busy and is laying the new foundations for the writing. Gradually Jeus now sinks deeper into trance, it is only between the fourth and the fifth grade of sleep that we ourselves can write, before that it is still writing under inspiration. Jeus came that far with his painting through Wolff. Now we are placing him before the most difficult task, for us the easiest, for we want to begin on the typewriter immediately.
After all, a pen is a part of yourself, you have that in your hands, not the typewriter and it is more difficult for a writer, for others a means of being able to concentrate free from everything and every contact, because the pen directly influences the life of feeling, it is a means which has a direct reaction to your thoughts, but is far from being an inspiration. Because you have learned and done that since you were a child, you are influenced by your pen as a means of writing and we want to prevent that now. Jeus therefore buys a typewriter for twenty-five guilders, a nice old one, which he does not know what to do with, but we do. He has never used one before.
You will certainly feel it, we are taking him further away from his own knowledge and learning, the less he knows, the better we can work through him. You know that his childhood, his time at school and what he learned in society are nothing, he did not learn anything, nothing in order to be able to write now, he does not know anything at all! He cannot do it, does not know how to either, he did not learn it and now we also knock the pen from his hand, he is not allowed to do anything for himself and it is the most difficult thing for him, but it is convenient for us, now we are not faced with his material learned possession from your world. It does not matter what that writing is like in the beginning, when Master Alcar can record the true occult through Jeus that will be everything, improving and polishing the material will come later.
