THE CONSEQUENCES OF UNKINDNESS IN THE BEYOND

Unkindness has far reaching consequences, on Earth as well as in the beyond. It surrounds the soul with a thick cover so that no Light can shine through and it remains forever dark. Light is everywhere but where it cannot penetrate into the human soul there is darkness. However, Love beams out Light and enlightens the soul inwardly, the cover dissolves, and the Light can penetrate and enlighten the soul.

On Earth to have perception means to know about the everlasting Truth, about the purpose and meaning of this earthly life and the continuous increase of Love to God. But in the spiritual kingdom Light is only assured to those souls who, through their love on Earth came to its recognition. The darkness is forever swallowed up and for these souls all is revealed. For them there is no more doubt and nothing is in- comprehensible, and nothing is impossible, because the soul became full of Light and Power through Love.

Therefore loveless ness is the everlasting ruin of the soul, because a soul who exists in deep darkness is unhappy. This soul has become the victim of him who himself is void of love and tries to prepare this state for those who put themselves under his influence, who are full of self-love because Satan demeans them by planting his own feelings in them so that they would be his slaves.

Loveless ness is death for the soul. It poisons man' s thinking so that he becomes untrue and wicked, devising deeds of hatred and malicious-ness. It cannot be any other way because where Love is there is God.

Where selfishness and hate is there is Satan. There Satan rules so that he certainly can be recognized as the greatest enemy of the soul. He not only pursues the people on earth to try to Will them for himself, but works with even more fervor and wickedness in the beyond.

There he also tries to influence and drive them to a greater hardness of heart in order to pull them still deeper into the abyss. Because loveless ness has such a frightening effect in the beyond it can only be counter-acted with Love.

Souls in the beyond must receive much Love, which acts as a medicine on their sick souls, bringing them health. If you do not neglect them with Love they can be healed, because the most stubborn souls of darkness will change through sparks of Love, even if they are unwilling in the beginning. But once they feel this relief they will never give up again.

Love is the most effective weapon against the enemy. He cannot withstand it and runs away from it. Therefore he rather loses his victim than be touched by the Love rays himself.

So fight against lovelessness, know that it leads you to destruction, while deeds of Love open for you the realms of Light. You can help to the light those who still longish in the darkness as a result of their poor or unloving earthly life. Only Love can help them and loosen their chains. Only Love can make you happy.

AMEN
