Читать книгу The Deceased speak out - Dieter Scharnhorst - Страница 10

You cannot really believe in a righteousness of God when you see all the suffering and injustice that has been and still is going on in this world, and you ask yourself why he does not intervene. But where should he not intervene everywhere, and besides everybody has his free will, and life is also a test. The saying: God's mills grind slowly but very finely, that is always true. This can be clearly seen in the following case study, which has been passed on through the media:

Spirit of God: It was a soul, named Karin, who had returned home to eternity, and she was amazed at the beautiful world she encountered, and she was also amazed at the welcome she received, because this new world was only bliss for her, after she had left behind a dark world on which she had to endure a hard life. She had to endure many humiliations. And now, in this new world, everything was so light, so beautiful and wonderful. The angels of God, who had approached her, brought her robes, which they said she had woven herself in her human life through her love, sacrifice, forbearance, peaceableness and understanding. So she had woven for herself these beautiful spiritual robes. Now they remained her property and according to her desire she was allowed to put on this festive garment and then another one as she pleased. And she was told

"You will not have to take up work for some time, unlike so many others who return home from life on earth, but you shall now truly first look around in this bliss and enjoy these beauties. Yes, it was a great joy for them, but at the same time a great surprise.

Yes, she had to miss much in life, but despite her human misery she kept her piety, trustingly put her fate in God's hands and hoped that the divine world would see it and show understanding and mercy for her. Well, for all her tolerance she was richly rewarded, and the humiliations brought forth in her garment beautiful, noble stones of great value.

And an angel of God said to her:

"Now get comfortable as you like in this new world. But we will also take you back several times to the house where you lived, because you should see what is going on there now. We will also inform you of your mistress' return in human life when the time comes."

And so it happened. Now and then the angel led her back to the house of her former mistress, who had become seriously ill, and she heard from the mouth of the divine being that she too would have to cross the threshold of the hereafter in the not too distant future, and she was to be present to greet her.

When the time had come, an angel brought the news of the imminent return of her former mistress Doris. The angel took her back into the house where she was dying, and there she could see how the spirit was released from the body of the dying person and how the silver cord that bound it was cut. When this separation was completed, she stood there, the former mistress. Doris was a little dazed, looking around uncertainly and marvelling at everything new. Surprised she looked at her former servant and was amazed at her beautiful appearance, for she had decorated herself especially for the reception. The returning woman did not yet know what had happened to her. In her dazed state she touched her spiritual body and found that she was now standing in the clothes of her former servant, and she immediately expressed her indignation. But the angel who stood by her side said the same to her:

"You left your earthly body on the earth, but what is immortal in you is risen, and we have wrapped you in the garment that you have woven for yourself all the days of your life. She was a bit astonished at the words she did not yet understand and at the same time disappointed she looked at herself again as best she could. Then she desperately called her former servant by name. Helplessly she stood there first, but soon she became energetic. Looking at her servant she thought that she had stolen her beautiful clothes and now she ruled over her:

"It is my robe you are wearing."

She made a somewhat clumsy movement, as if she wanted to tear the dress of her former servant from her spiritual body. But the angel stood between them and spoke:

"You are indeed wearing the robe that is yours, and that you have woven for yourself in life."

She had to wear the same shoes as the mended and threadbare clothes of the servant that she gave her in life. One time the shoes were too small, so her feet hurt, and another time they were too big. Now the angel had to talk seriously with the former mistress and had to tell her

"Tolerant was this being, and pointed to her servant, and in spite of all humiliation she kept her pious heart. She earned heaven for herself.

But you humiliated, tortured and beat Karin. You have done a lot of wrong to her and to others. The dress you're wearing now will look good on you. Because out of your own vices you have woven it yourself."

The wretched woman listened in indignation. Then she picked out from her memory what good she had done. ...but whatever she said, it was of no consequence.

Whatever good she had done, she had only done to be seen, and everyone should know to whom she once did good.

"Therefore," said the Spirit of God, "your reward is gone, you have already anticipated it in life."

But since this soul still believed that her wrong was being done, the Spirit of God explained further:

"You had an acquaintance whom you never liked to suffer because, as you said, she was far too good with her fellow men, and her goodness was only foolishness. This friend will come near you."

The angels of God had already arranged for this meeting. But this acquaintance, named Helga, came not alone, but arm in arm with one of her former servants. These two were dressed so brightly and lightly, and they looked so distinguished that one could take them for sisters. Here the Spirit of God said:

"This is she, who has made her goodness seem foolish."

And to the servant with whom she had come arm in arm, said the angel of God:

"Now you will see your former mistress again, but you will be better off with your new employer, with whom you are here now."

The homecomer, who had been so domineering and selfish in life, still looked confused at her former servant and her acquaintance. How beautiful she looked! Now Doris recognized that there is a retribution in the heavenly world for life on earth.

Then the angel told her clearly:

"You also remember your former servant Anna, whom you chased out of your house because she became ill. But you accused her of being too lazy to work. Your friend Helga had taken her in out of pity, and the two of them got along well all their lives. Together they had done good works, and servant Anna had a more pleasant better life as a result."

Now the wretched Doris saw how those in the heavenly world had been rewarded, and she saw herself. She saw that there was no point in rebelling any longer, but she wanted to try it differently. She believed that she could still claim her servant who had served with her until her death. She should now help and guide her further.

At first the spirits of God did not agree, for they had already prepared the way that this domineering being was to go. But then it was the servant Karin who begged and pleaded for her former mistress:

"Let me at least be with her for a while. I will try to teach her something of heavenly bliss and give her something of what she had never known in life, namely love, understanding, forbearance, peace and goodness.

Upon this request, the spirits of heaven gave permission to stand by the poor soul and guide her. But these high spirits knew in advance that this would not change for the better, for the lust for power cannot so easily be discarded. But the good servant's wish was fulfilled, but it happened as these saints of heaven had foreseen. This burdened soul could not give up her lust for power, she even demanded that her former servant give her beautiful garments to her, for she was not willing to go around in her poor worn out clothes any longer. She also demanded to be led out of this humble environment of affliction. Her former servant Karin had to enlighten her and tell her

"Only gradually will you be able to escape from this confined world. You will first have to change your thinking and your whole being before you can come out of your distress.

But Doris still believed she could rule over her former servant and be entitled to her clothes. But the good soul didn't agree and said:

"The angels of God have given me this," and "It is my property. I cannot give it to you."

The former mistress, however, became more and more obtrusive and dissatisfied with her very changed existence, which she had to endure. When her former servant saw that she could not do anything about her, she left the incorrigible. Then her great patience and understanding was no longer sufficient, and she recognized what the angels had foreseen, that this soul could only reach a different way of thinking through pain and privation. And so she went back to her exalted brothers and sisters and explained to them

"With the best will in the world I am not able to guide her, but I will go to her from time to time, comforting her and drawing her attention to the obedience that she must render in the heavenly world.

The angels agreed with her. Now this domineering soul had to take the path of tribulation prescribed by them. She had to be humiliated by suffering and pain until she came to her senses. So she was led into the tribulation, into a place of solitude. There she was completely abandoned, nobody was in her immediate surroundings. She had no idea where she was and could never know, for it was so dark there and she felt only an abyss around her.

Here she should be humiliated in her spiritual body.

An angel of God had led her into this abandonment and had still taken the shoes off her feet, and when she complained about it, he said to her

"In human life you have taken so much from others and done so much suffering and had hardly rewarded others for their services. "You have taken from them in abundance, and now I am taking your shoes."

Where she was standing, the spiritual ground was covered with sharp splinters, so that her feet hurt when she walked back and forth in her limited surroundings. The angel of God told her..:

"Now we will give you ample time to think. You will not be liberated until you have become more humble and humble and realize that you have made many mistakes in life and that your servant has rightly received her heavenly reward.

Thus this soul remained banished on this level of torment, and her former servant was not allowed to bring her comfort for the time being. Thus she was given the opportunity to reflect on the life she had lived and to recognize the power of God.

Now also for her the time came that she became clear and agreed to work like her servant had worked and that she would allow herself to be humiliated like them, if only she would be freed from this frightening environment.

Then after a long time of suffering and distress, the angel of God went to her again and brought her back her shoes. But her robe had not yet changed. The angel spoke to her, now she had to prove that she was really willing to do what she had promised. Then he led the burdened soul to other burdened brothers and sisters and she had to live with them and work hard with them. She was also forbidden to talk to others about who she had been in her last life. If she would inform the others of this, they would be influenced and she herself would have to be put back into loneliness. So she, like everyone else, had to do the work assigned to her. It was suggested to her that in the spiritual life, in the hereafter, there was no such prestige of the person, and she, like the others, would have to pay off the debt as equal.

Now she obeyed. She did not talk about her earthly life and did her work, even though it was difficult for her. When she had passed this test she was led away by the Spirit of God and taken up a step further where she found relief. Here again she was not to speak about her life on earth but to devote herself completely to the spiritual life.

Then the angel revealed to her:

"If you fulfill what we tell you and prove yourself obedient, you will be forgiven another part of your guilt. But you still have a large portion left to make amends which cannot be obtained in eternity. You must be born again into a new life on earth and prove anew as a human being that you can do better.

And the angel of God said to her:

"You will only make it better if you are truly filled with the desire to do only the good. First you must practice a task that awaits you in human life, here in the hereafter. You must practice the virtues, and you must cultivate love and understanding.

Your inner being should be filled with the fact that your vices in human life will not be able to break through again. "

That's how it was clearly set apart from her:

"You can pay off a part of your guilt here in the spiritual world, another part will be forgiven you out of God's goodness if you are obedient, and the last part you must make good in a future human life. And so now this soul thought about all this and had many questions. But it also reproached all those who proclaimed Christian doctrine but knew nothing of these truths.

Thus, in the spiritual realm, forbearance and humiliation, which one has patiently endured, are rewarded. Also the understanding that one shows his fellow men despite their mistakes is rewarded. Because such tested souls are lined up in all stages of the world of God because one also has special assignments ready for them who showed understanding for the life and the misery of others. Yes, where one recognizes talents, one would like to let them become effective in the spiritual world, by bringing them as helpers for the ascending brothers and sisters, or that they approach people and bring them what they lack. For the holy spirit world fulfills its tasks in the name of God and wants every person to be able to expect a happy and beautiful return home. And these saints of heaven make every effort that man may achieve this. But so often they approach people whom they reject and to whom they have no access. Unfortunately this is a pity.
