Jakob Lorber – The Great Gospel of John, vol. 5, part B
[GGJ.05_184,08] But this remark has to be mentioned here and stressed
that an education of the soul only in the beyond takes a much longer time
and nonetheless never can reach that very highest level as opposed to a
formation of the soul that happened on this side, still in the body; for in that
way also the more noble part of the body is healed as well, and almost all the
flesh achieves with the soul and with it with the spirit united with it a type of
enlightenment and simultaneous resurrection and then forms for eternity a
being fully united with the soul and spirit. But only very few people ever
achieve that on Earth – but very many shortly after the death of the body.
And behold, you have now got the post-existence of every person before you
just as the straightest line of exactly the deepest truth!
[GGJ.05_184,09] If this is still somewhat foreign and difficult to understand,
you can easily ask me new questions. Therefore you now have to speak
again or even friend Aziona. Think and speak and I will give you another
correct answer!‖
Chapter 185
[GGJ.05_185,01] Hiram, as the more talented speaker, says, ―Dearest friend,
there is still no talk among us of a clear insight in what you have just said –
but we believe you as a result of your too great wisdom; for whoever has
knowledge and insight which penetrate everything in all possible events on
this Earth and even can read the most secret thoughts of man as if from an
open book must also have been well-versed most deeply and truthfully in all
possible spheres and ways of life, of which not the slightest doubt can
possibly remain any longer.
[GGJ.05_185,02] We now believe what you have said as firmly as rock.
Indeed the purely spiritual pre-existence and the present-worldly material
existence of soul development and test according to your presentation does
not allow any further questions any longer, because things can only be
thought of thus and impossibly in any other way and likewise exist – for the
designated and ever same effects must indeed also have the same causes;
that is now decided among us! – but as far as the post-existence is
concerned, there is indeed still a number of extremely important questions,
whose basic answer must then be a little bit more difficult for you.
[GGJ.05_185,03] You see, I cannot imagine above all the reason for even an
– as you have said – eternal existence after shedding the body! What should
we do then throughout the never-ending eternity? What a terrible boredom
will finally have to join, even in the enjoyment of the highest, indescribable
bliss! And worst of all is a highly perfected spirit, who naturally will have
nothing more to learn! For him a monotony in life will have to set in which we
cannot imagine at all.
