To my Marianne

At some time, early for one, late for another, you, man on earth will enter spiritual life. I say early or late, suddenly, prepared or unprepared, one day you will enter this life. There are many who receive happiness, light, love and the beauty of the spheres on this side and will continue to live in harmony and heavenly bliss. It are those who already acquired spiritual property on earth by living according to the will of God. They accepted their sorrow and pain and all other misery, with faith they accepted the cross that God put on their shoulders. They are the ones that bowed their head before God’s holy Guidance. They opened themselves to that holy guidance and acted upon an inner voice and are convinced of eternal life.

The path they follow leads them higher and similarly on this side they continue the same path. They are the spiritually awakened and children of one God. They bring happiness, love and sunshine to all they meet in their life on earth. On this side they receive happiness and many wait here impatiently for the moment they will be connected with them. They will surround them with pure love.

Their parents, sisters and brothers, friends and acquaintances they will meet again. In heavenly bliss they proceed on their path to perfection. All earthly sorrow and pain is then transcended. These faithful ones of good heart are all children in spirit. They know themselves and have discarded their bad qualities. They know hatred nor passion, but they are the strong-willed who have acquired all this during their earthly life. The day will come, as all of them know, when they shall enter the land beyond, the spheres of light, and be awake and conscious.

How are those to enter who complain and cry ‘why’ and ‘wherefore’? Those who are too weak-willed to struggle? Those who have inwardly fallen asleep? Those who feel themselves a personality and put themselves on a pedestal? Those who hate and are consumed by passion? Those who do not believe in God or His commandments? Those in spiritual poverty, the living dead, how will they enter here? They arrive on this side to face a poor and unconscious life and will find their place in the dark spheres where hatred, passion and violence await them. They will meet those who in their earthly life deceived mankind.

Hundreds of years may pass before they will enter the spheres of light. Hundreds of years of pain and sorrow and great misery like you don’t know on earth and have never felt. Here they are admonished to start a new life. On earth they refused to do so and were too weak, experienced earthly life in an animal-like manner, reviling and destroying everything, even Him Who gave them life, their God, the Creator of heaven and earth. Here they will have to face that mighty life, the life of the spirit which they did not know nor believed. On this side their earthly possessions and happiness will mean sorrow, they will live in the dark and cold. None of their knowledge will be of any meaning on this side. Their pedestals crumble, their reign is destroyed, they live on but in utterly inhuman misery.

What of those who put an end to their lives, to enter eternal life? What will their life be like when they leave earthly life in that way? Oh, man of the earth, these poor human beings will suffer terribly. In an empty space, tied to their material body they enter here. They are alone, forsaken, there is nothing around them, human or animal, only cold and deep darkness. They are the most unhappy beings who arrive here. You have no idea of their sorrow and grief. No sorrow, no physical pain, no diseases or other earthly torments known to you are comparable to the sorrow of those who put an end to their earthly existence. They will feel the misery of their unsuccesful life and experience everything that happens to their spiritual body. They put an end to their life, but life cannot be destroyed because life is God. In this life they are faced with that inconceivable, mysterious life of the spirit and they will suffer until they make up what they once did wrong.

I’ll now tell you about my terrible end on earth and the life on the side beyond as I entered it. My name is Lantos and I am one of those who put an end to their earthly life. I killed a man and later I committed suicide, but this proved to be impossible. I entered an other life, the life of the spirit. What I’m going to tell you now is the holy truth, it is the law of cause and effect. I had to accept and make up for what I once had done wrong.

What I’m going to tell you is related to the cycle of the soul. This cycle continues through all centuries towards the source of all life in order to attain the divine spheres. Helped by those who are awakened, the cosmically attuned beings who have completed their terrestrial cycle, I am going to elucidate incredible and horrible truths.

In the previous books we have transmitted through this medium you have read that man has two bodies, the spiritual body, being the eternal one. In addition you read about the spheres, from the darkest to the highest spheres of light and spiritual attunement, about the degrees of cosmic mentality and conditions in the universe. From that you may have been able to gauge your degree of attunement if you have advanced that far and you possess the proper feeling. You have been able to compare your earthly life with that of the beings who found their way from darkness to light.

I shall try and give you a clear picture of the meaning of life on earth and to answer your questions ‘why’ and ‘wherefor’. Your prayers which we receive follow one way, the way of the higher-attuned being. Your question why God can approve all this, we shall try to answer.

Why should one person lose his father and mother early? Why is there homicide and violence? Why does one man have wealth and should another die of hunger? Why do many people suffer under the torments others inflict on them? Why do we live on earth and suffer? Why all this sorrow when there is a Creator, a God of Love Who loves all His children? Why doesn’t God call a halt to them and say: ‘Enough, no more’? Why can rulers continue to slaughter their fellow-men by the thousands?

Those who are further advanced in feeling seek to attune their own ego and life which they do not know nor sense. From where have we come? How long have we been on the way to perfection? Are we ever to reach the regions divine? Is there ever to be a solution for us and will our questions be answered? Is there progress? Are there other planets where human beings live, or are we on earth the only living beings in this mighty universe? Does man have free-will or is everything guidance? Are coincidences meaningful? Why does one man have success and an other failure? Why such a lot of wealth, whereas millions die of hunger? Why all these questions, again and again?

Man of the earth, I and all living on this side asked all these questions when we were living on earth. I, just like you, wondered why and for what purpose God could approve all this, when He is a Father of Love. Why does He give one man power and allow an other to die of hunger? I asked myself all these questions, but I never received an answer while on earth. Only here, on this side, were these questions answered. It is here that I learned to know and comprehend the sense and meaning of living on earth. Here on this side I received the conviction about a God of Love through those who went before me and are now living in the higher spheres. It is here that I learned to understand the significance of all the suffering on earth, why one possesses earthly bliss and the other must die of hunger. Follow me on my way and accept my evidence, how incomprehensible it may seem to you. It is the sacred truth.
