==== Inquiry: Are the New Revelation books authored by Jakob Lorber and Gottfried Mayerhofer genuinely dictated by Jesus Christ—the incarnate Logos and Axiom Point of Reality? ====

===== - Jakob Lorber claimed to receive dictations from an "inner voice" beginning in 1840, writing over 10,000 pages in a consistent literary and theological style. =====
* These writings assert no authorship other than that of Jesus Christ, and Lorber himself made no attempt to profit or form a sect.
* However, no external historical corroboration—no witnesses, no validation by contemporaneous church or scholarly figures—exists to affirm the source.

🟡 Partial support: Lorber’s life demonstrates sincerity and consistency. But lack of historical corroboration weakens the empirical convergence needed for definitive identification as divine dictation.

===== - The New Revelation affirms Jesus as God incarnate and central Savior. =====
* However, it contains elaborations and speculative doctrines not found in Scripture, including: - Extremely detailed cosmology. - Spiritual evolution across planetary systems. - Anthropocentric views of the universe. - Unique views on hell, reincarnation-like processes, and divine order.

🔴 Contradiction exists: The Jesus of the Bible speaks concisely, historically, and contextually, often refusing metaphysical over-explanation (e.g., Mark 13:32). In contrast, Lorber’s "Jesus" delivers thousands of pages of dictated technicalities inconsistent with the restraint, parable-based teaching, and thematic simplicity of the Gospels.

===== - Lorber’s texts offer a comprehensive metaphysical system, integrating divine justice, mercy, and the mechanics of the spiritual cosmos. =====
* However, the complexity often borders on over-systematization—philosophically vulnerable to infinite regress, epistemic inflation, and unverifiable assertions.

🔴 Violation of simplicity principle (Occam’s Razor): The New Revelation’s logic strains coherence by providing excessive detail on realms no empirical or revelatory tradition supports. This detracts from rather than supports philosophical convergence.

===== - Lorber’s Jesus appears to reflect 19th-century European theological currents, including pietism, romantic cosmology, and a highly rationalistic structure of divine order. =====
* Psychological tone of the writings is moralistic and systematic, not dialogic or paradoxical like the canonical Gospels.

🔴 Dissonance with the universal, cross-cultural archetype of Christ: The Jesus of Lorber is hyper-explanatory and aligns with specific cultural-theological constructs, limiting universal psychological and anthropological convergence.

===== - The New Revelation has inspired a small but devoted readership, but no enduring movement, transformation of societies, or fruit akin to canonical Christianity. =====
* By systems criteria—feedback, replication, transformative power—it fails to reach systemic convergence thresholds.

🔴 Insufficient systemic impact: No large-scale emergence, no institutional transformation, no widespread spiritual renewal attributed to these writings.
