CHANGE OF DWELLING PLACE FOR THE SOUL - DEATH OF THE BODY

The soul is the real "I" and is immortal. It only changes its residence when it ends its earthly walk to mature further in another realm, if it does not go against ME and by that, will sink into the depths.

You should be happy with the thought that you do not have to fear death that you continue to live even when you must leave this Earth. Consider that life over there will be far more beautiful and happy than this earthly life, as man could ever be. You can look forward with expectation to the day in which the exterior cover of your real "I" will be taken from you, when all burdens fall away and you can rise easily and without care into your true home, which offers you unexpected splendor of which you can hardly conceive.

You must rejoice because death has no dominion over you. Your soul only experiences a change of dwelling place, which will make it tremendously happy. Why do you fear death and look forward to it with uneasiness? Why has death become such an agony for you? Why do you get such a feeling of fear, while in truth it is only a transfer to another realm? It is because you unconsciously feel that you are not living in the right way on Earth, or because your soul aces not provide for itself the Light that takes all fear away.

Indeed, a person who fulfills MY commandment of Love and lives according to MY Will on Earth, has no fear of death. He longs to discard this earthly cover because he desires his true Home. The Love in him has ignited a bright Light and he, in anticipation knows that he is near ME where all suffering, pain and affliction are gone forever. Thus he feels himself sheltered by MY Love.

Everyone could have this blessed certainty when they depart from this Earth, a bad and difficult existence changes to such security. If man would live their earthly lives with this goal in mind, if they would follow that Inner Voice, which would always lead them to MY Will, then they would come to a right relationship with ME, their GOD and Eternal Father, while still on Earth.

The thought that their existence ends with physical death is the best proof that man's mode of life is not according to My Will. Because such thought is the influence of MY opponent who always opposes proper in- sight, therefore constantly strives to increase the desire for a better earthly existence.

Those people do not believe in the immortality of their real "I". They attribute to it the same limitations as to the exterior cover. So they try to enjoy their earthly life to the fullest. They think only of their physical needs but neglect their soul. Consequently, they make their lot after their physical death very doubtful. They cannot experience the grandeur of their Homeland. Because of their low maturity they cannot find entrance into the realms where unexpected happiness awaits them.

However, it is still possible for this soul to loosen itself from the depths and gain higher spheres, but they require much more effort and overcoming power than on Earth. Neither can it take place without help. The soul itself must still produce the will, which on Earth is much easier. The "I" cannot perish. But it creates for itself a lot of happiness or suffering. Only when man does not look upon the body as that which lives, but learns to recognize the soul within his body as the real "I" will they live their life on earth more responsibly. Then they will not fear death, which concerns only the body and not the soul, which inhabits the body. Then they will live according to MY Will and long for the hour when the soul may loose itself from its outer cover to enter into that Kingdom, which is its real Homeland.

AMEN
