Thoughts From Another World

I want to open your eyes to the reality that surrounds you and that you are incapable of seeing.  The fate of most people is to die and never to have lived in a true sense.  I want you to avoid this common destiny.  You are not a person of only one death, but a person who has died many times in the past; and the true destiny of any person is to die a final death and be resurrected into eternal life.  This destiny can only be attained after many lives of true spiritual significance, and then only if the Grace of God wills it.  Therefore it is necessary for a person to live as though he were ready to die every minute, and that means looking at the world with seeing eyes and feeling only love and seeking only beauty.  It means having one's life in as good order as possible and not wasting any time on inessential thoughts or acts.  It means being prepared to be alone and stripped of all the trappings of life on earth.  Only a person's thoughts and feelings and memories really belong to him.  All else is merely trimming to make life on earth endurable for people who do not know the true destiny of living.  The earth is really only an illusion, and the life that people live on earth is only a dream.  The reality is here on this planet.  When we come here, we awaken from the dream and begin to live in actual deathless truth and to be our true and complete Selves, able to function completely, and not in a frustrated way, as in the earth-dream.  Just as the apparitions in the Spirit Realm were preparations and also tests, so is life on earth; and the way in which we conduct ourselves and prepare ourselves in the earth-dream is our preparation for the life after death, which may possibly lead to resurrection to this planet of reality.  Reality is the perfect and beautiful and indestructible.  Only the dream-lives end in one death and rebirth after another.  I am trying to explain the true nature of the relationship between what you consider life and reality and the true life on our planet, where the true reality is finally known and lived.  You are fortunate, because you are living a beautiful dream; and it is important that you live it fully, richly, and joyfully, and that you try to approach the reality of life as the Sons-of-God know it, as well as can be done in an earth-dream.  It is not only your dream, but a collective dream of all the earth-living, who think that they are the only representatives of real living, and who have no real conception of the reality.  The truth is very strange, because that which is unseen by people on earth is the true reality; and all that they see is really apparition, just as much as is life in the Spirit Realm before resurrection.  The soul belongs to the reality of resurrection, although very many souls never find it and live in a seeming reality of apparition, both in their earth-lives and in the Spirit Realm.  Apparitions have all the appearance of the most solid reality, both on earth and in the Spirit Abodes.  Just so you believe my thoughts, you do not need to fully understand them.
