Life

Is in fact an alternation of life and death

February 2nd 2018
What we call life is in fact an alternation of life and death. Yes, when we wake up in the morning, we are born on the physical plane, but we die on the astral plane. When we go to sleep at night, we die on the physical plane, but are born on the astral plane. In the same way, when human beings come to earth, they are born here, but they die in the other world: they are received here with cries of joy and music, but on the other side they attend their burial. Conversely, when humans die here, they are accompanied to their grave by funeral marches, tears, and mourning clothes, while on the other side they are welcomed joyfully, and those who receive them exclaim, ‘At last, they have returned!’ Obviously, the person who has led the life of a criminal on earth does not receive such a warm welcome there. In the same way, it sometimes happens that certain children are not happily welcomed here by their parents. But these are special cases. The law itself remains implacable: what is ‘life’ in one realm is ‘death’ in another, and vice-versa.
