0731 Soul after death....

January 2, 1939: Book 15

The soul, relieved of all hardship, seeks the path to the light, and it is helped by the spiritual beings who endeavour with all love to show it the way. And thus the soul recognizes its state in all clarity and is able to detach itself from matter if only it feels within itself the desire for eternal liberation from its fetters, which have been its fate since time immemorial. Once the spirit of God in the human being has united with the eternal spirit of love, the soul's freedom is achieved.... It finds deepest peace and deepest happiness, for its longing during its earthly days was the union with Christ, and it will now be fulfilled. And so abandon all grief while you are still on earth, for your body is still a burden to you, your soul is still imprisoned in its shell.... Throw off what still hinders you.... also try to awaken in yourselves the longing for liberation.... live in view of the fact that one day you, too, will have to stand before the gate to eternity and appreciate the soul's spiritual freedom.... be without fear when your end draws near, and the spirit within you will guide you so that you will look forward to that hour with joy, for then you will stand at the entrance to eternal life and the heavenly father will come to meet you with open arms if you have already found Him on earth in remembrance of His love. And then you will desire death yourselves, for its sting will not hurt you.... You have overcome, you have found your way through the night to the eternal light, you have renounced the world and turned your gaze only heavenwards. And those who love you will gather together and take you home to the father's house. And those who die in Christ will be blessed and sing praises and thanks to the creator for all eternity....

Amen
