Chapter III
The Creation of Heavens and Hells

The man who has completed his earthly cycle, is faced with new worlds, because it is God's command, that he returns to Him. He has made the physical laws his own, experienced the laws of life and death and conquered so the third cosmic degree.

Where did the millions of people go, that had experienced the Moon, the sideplanets and the Earth? They entered the astral world and experienced there, that for the material life they could no longer return to the Earth. In the world which they entered, prevailed darkness. Not a ray of light welcomed them. How now ... no light? Where was the light that had shone upon them? They waited and believed that it would come soon. But they waited in vain ... they felt sleepy, these people were hungry and thirsty and they did not understood themselves and their new condition. They were probably prematurely awakened, it was still night here, soon the Sun would rise and it would be light again.

Where did they live? They did not know! The soul as man felt that they lived, but no more. The personality and emotional life of these people were in the new world still unconscious. But he would awake and become aware, he would start to explore his strange environment and, as was done previously on other planets, make the laws of this astral existence his own.

The human being began to think. He realized the long sleep, the not rising of the Sun, the light from above that had always shone upon him and had given growth and flowering to life on Earth. That light they had loved, it was a power for them. Had this power left them alone? What could have happened with them?

They cried for help, their voices had retained their sound, they were answered and looked one another up. In all these people lived the same questions. Where did they live in? Was there without their knowledge happened something in space? There came fear in them ... fear! It took long, there had to come light now at last. They reflected.

Where were women and children? They called to their loved ones, but they did not answer their cries.

They remembered now that they had been sick. But then they had to be better now, they lived! They moved among the others and discovered that these were largely strangers to them. They looked for their own tribe members and so they found them, they discussed them with their condition. But they knew the explanation neither.

Then, tired of thinking and searching, gave the men and women himself to each other. They took possession of each other's bodies and sought to experience the unification, as they had known until then. There was passion in their interior, their personality desired. These astral beings felt as before, but now what - What were they now experiencing again? Their desire did not solve, there was no end to the happening! Had they become impotent? Had their bodies changed? Even greater grew their fear. What all had happened during their sleep! They groped each other and their astonishment grew even more. And all the people here experienced the same. Their spirit spoke, demanded, desired satisfaction, however, it did not penetrate to them that they had left their physical bodies.
And the light remained still out. Should they accept that the Sun from space was gone? Terrible questions!

They move, explore their environment, deeper and deeper they penetrate it. But it remains dark and their path does not end. Endless seems this world to be.

The fear takes hold of them, they cry out desperately for help, but there is no salvation.

Has the wild animal came in the night to them and tore it woman and child apart? They scream, but their screams go lost in the dark.

All those millions of souls, they fall down from fatigue, stand up again and look further. But at every step, the difficulties grow larger, the problems multiply. Many go mad. Thus is the state of the soul here, it is sinking together and dissolve into insanity or either obtain awareness and understanding. Are there among these who are strong and keep one's head? Yes, there are and for the first time they become aware of their new state.

They dare to go further than the others, they penetrate boldly deeper into the space, which seems infinite.

Then they suddenly stand before a great miracle. They saturate themselves ot it and return to the others. This goes fast now. A strange, invisible force carries them instantaneously back to their own kind. They need only to think about them. They tell of the miracle that they have discovered.

"We have discovered people', so they say.
"They are different than we are. But they live in the light."
They do not believe it, the others.
"And yet it is true. There is light overthere. And you can eat and drink there too."

They want to go there, now that they hear all of this, they perish of thirst and darkness crushes them here. The light they want to see, the miracle of the light.

With hundreds they go on the road. Along the way the first tell what they actually experienced. The others interrupt them all the time with questions.

"Is that then not our own life? So did we live too? Is the light of those people not our own light? And is there sparkle to be seen in space?"
Yes, confirm the others, the sparkle is there. Everything is there, their present world is empty and black compared to it.
"Is the darkness there then different from this?"
Yes, that is also the case. But soon they can convince themselves. And if it should be dark overthere, they should not worry about it. They only need to wait, the light will come naturally.
"But then it is still our life", let the others slip.

Intense is their desire to see the world, where the light is. That world belongs to them, they look for her. Do they also know what kind of space this is in which they suddenly have come to, they ask their leaders. No, this is not known by them. But perhaps they will know soon. With the people where they go now, there is no sign of that permanent darkness anyway.

Busy talking, full of excitement, they put forth their way. Then the  leaders suddenly halt. Here it is, as they say, here is where those people live. It is still dark, but soon the Sun will rise.

They wait and then - oh, blissful moment - the Sun casts her first rays over the world. Joy rushes into the hearts of these people, who have lacked the light for so long.

The earthly man is awakened. They follow everything, the astral beings. They grope the people, there are among them, who they can clearly perceive, others are only seen as shadows. They do not understand this very well, but don't ponder about it for too long. Those who they can see best, they follow. Truly, they are people, who eat and drink and work.

Now they feel even sharper their hunger and thirst and they descend into the people, driven by their desire to finally saturate. And by unifying with the earthly man they succeed.

Yes, they discover, they can even impose their will upon them. They want to drink, drink heavy and the earthly man takes over their desire to drink, while he believes to have an insatiable thirst. Have they lived here always now? they want to know now, the astral beings. Or was it somewhere else?

They keep following the earthly people, hoping to get the answers to their questions. They could not be happier - now they live again, there is light, warmth, and even more! The astral man descends into the earthly man, the astral woman into the earthly woman and as they are one so do they experience it with them!

So pass the days, they enjoy a thousand joys and miss the need to return to the dark, silent places, where they were for a time.

If the earthly man hunt, the astral being experiences a new law, that fills them with the utmost surprise. One of the hunters is pounced and slain by the wild beast. His soul is thrown out of the body and enters as an astral personality into the afterlife.

Surprised, not understanding, sees the astral man who was connected with the hunter all this. Then he hurries to the others and tells them what he saw. "The man was slain," he says, "a wild animal jumped him. And I saw that out of that dead body came a new body. So that hunter is dead and he is alive. And he is now just like us! So we have also died, yes that's it! We have died on Earth and because of that everything changed for us. We are dead and still we live - just like the hunter!"

Nonsense! No, they cannot believe that. They just have to watch, the man recommends them. They do this and then they must accept that he spoke the truth.

So there was no death, there was no end to life. When you died, you got where they were now and then you lived on - and how! Not a miracle did you experience here, but thousands. Much of it they still not understood, but that did not prevented them to seek pleasure, where they could. There was light and warmth, food and drink, there was fun and adventure and above all there was the human unification.

They could just like in the old days unify and indulge themselves. Yes, they even saw, that through the unification they experienced by the two earthly people, children were born with them. And those on Earth did not even know it was them, driving them time and again in each other's arms. They found it amusing. They would not like to go back there. It was better here than on Earth.

Several times they now experienced, and that they had to let go of their earthly man, because he died. They were then thrown from those bodies, but they did not care about that. They just looked for another again, connected themselves with him and indulged again.

So far had they come, that they were able to dominate the earthly man in everything. They lived and experienced in his body and while he met their wants and desires, he knew nothing of their presence. By thinking about this, they began to understand the wonder of their existence and were led to analyze it deeper, because they wanted  to know all about it. So they began to understand much, what a short time ago was still obscure to them and gradually they obtained another consciousness. Although this was still pre-animal, someday it would become spiritual.

Every time they experienced something else. Because the astral personality indulged themselves at the expense of the earthly man, it was eventually possessed. They could not escape, these men and women, the astral man became so prevalent, that insanity had to follow. No man in this place of the Earth was free anymore from the astral influence. It became chaos. The astral being would not go back to their own darkness anymore, the astral existence. The first hell in life after death flowed empty, every soul returned from there back to the Earth. For centuries the astral personality experienced through the earthly man the physical miracles. He will however awaken, for it is precisely through this taking possession of the physical man, that the astral being comes to consciousness.

Every second there are new souls entering the afterlife and they too return back to Earth to indulge themselves. Now there is fighting over the earthly man. Now the astral creature gets fear. Fear of the physical being that allows him to enjoy, to lose. He will protect it. So there has come concern in the astral man, which indicates a higher sense. And immediately several feelings are created in him, of which he knew nothing, had no idea they existed. There comes warmth in him, another warmth than the body gives. This warmth makes him light and happy.

And that comes in to him, only because he helps the earthly creature. He cannot any other way, he experiences this miracle. This man thinks about this and follows the feelings inside him. And by doing so, he also begins to feel and understand the earthly life deeper. The material life will now speak to him.

He wants to feel the warmth in him stronger, the astral man and to accomplish this, he increases his effort. He is currently serving! And slowly comes to love in him for the man he guards and protects. And this feeling of love already gets a degree of significance. Eventually his astral world will change through it.

A shock goes through the astral man. What change takes place in him? He wants to know more of the life around him. And those who have indulged, so long until other and better feelings in them began to develop, unite and begin to explore the world.

They move further away from the place where their peers continue to enjoy their lusts. Along the way they learn to know new powers and forces, they experience miracle after miracle.

If they want to go fast forward, they just need to focus themselves on to it and they shoot forward with the speed of lightning. They can go up and go down, yes, they can pass through the Earth, if they want and come out on the other side again.

And everywhere they discover people. There were they left people fought over an earthly being and here lived masses. So they were not the only people in space.

And all those bodies were the same. The people acted and felt the same too. The astral man descends again into the earthly man to determine this and forces him to unification. And then he determines that these earthly people experience the love making process in the same way as in the place where they left. In nothing is there any difference.

After a time they understood again that they lived in an infinity. Now came the desire in them to know the sparkle, that they observed in this infinity. But first they returned to their conspecifics and told them what they had experienced on their long journey. They gave them the advice to continue to help the earthly man.

Because, so they said, by serving other feelings would come into them. They had discovered on their journey, they continued, a great miracle. In their dark world had come light and this light would grow by the more they did for the earthly man. There they were busy creating themselves a new world and to make it more and more compact and later take it into possession, it was necessary, that they served the physical life.
