The concept of eternity is incomprehensible to man as long as he still dwells on earth; but at the moment of death his soul is free and he now understands the incomprehensible.... There is no law of space and time, there is no physical limitation, everything is like an endless sea that embraces past, present and future; the spirit is free of all restraint and also master of time and space. Wherever it wants to be, it can be there, whatever it imagines is present to it. Nothing prevents it from dwelling in regions that are bright, light and clear, provided the soul has reached a degree of maturity that allows it to soar into regions of light. It leaves behind everything that seemed desirable to it on earth, it takes part in the emanation of light from God, it immerses itself in the flood of divine love, it hears the choirs of heavenly hosts, it has entered through the gate of eternal life into a kingdom of light, which is a different world than the earthly world. It turns towards the light, it seeks union with spiritually perfect beings and thus increases its state of bliss. And thus life in eternity is a thousand times more desirable than even the most beautiful earthly existence for a soul which has lived its life in a manner pleasing to God and is now called away into the eternal kingdom. God knows what degree of maturity a person can reach on earth and calls him to Himself if his soul is in danger or if the person has fulfilled His requirements.... And people should always leave it up to God when His love concludes a person's life, people should always be grateful to God when He redeems a soul from its external shackles. A silent submission to God's will should always fill people who are destined to experience severe earthly suffering due to the passing away of people close to their heart. For if they love them they should only consider the state of light and rejoice and be glad that this soul has travelled the path on earth and has now finally come to an end. And every prayer should only be for the attainment of maturity of soul, for this is the prerequisite for a state in the beyond which is enviable and compensates for all earthly suffering and torment. However, people who lack maturity of soul are to be pitied, for they still go through a hard school in the hereafter and must now first travel the path of purification, often in the most sensitive way. The struggle of life is easy to name compared to the suffering that now awaits the soul in order to reach that state which grants entry into the spheres of light. Unspeakable efforts still have to be made until the soul has loosened all fetters and can soar upwards without any ballast. For everything impure that still clings to the soul holds it back to earth as if with chains; it longs for it, shares in the suffering and pain of its loved ones and is thus hindered in its flight upwards. And even if it longs for the light, it still does not have the maturity to be a bearer and giver of light, and it is now a long path in the beyond, which it also experiences as a long time, since the laws of time and space have not yet been completely abolished and thus the concept of 'eternity' is still inconceivable to the soul. He who enters the light only leaves behind on earth what he has overcome and he truly does not long to return.... But he who leaves earth in a lack of maturity of soul is still very close to earth and tries to get in touch with his loved ones. He suffers, just as people on earth suffer from the separation from each other, and yet this separation is only so short and can be completely bridged as long as the soul already prays and pleads on earth that light and grace may flow to it through God's love and that the time will be used in accordance with divine will.... For its death will be an easy gliding over into eternal realms, and it will gladly and joyfully leave behind everything on earth which hinders its flight upwards....

Amen
