‘These are his friends who will be singing shortly to pay him their last respects.

Listen, they’re already starting.’

They sang at the top of their voice, to show how dearly they cherished the deceased, and how terrible this farewell was to them.

‘He used to be their conductor, André, and now they’re singing one of his songs.’

All around the bier André saw lots of wreaths and bouquets from various musical groups and choirs.

‘Come closer, André, they will soon have finished their lamentations, which only increase his suffering, and then you’ll be able to hear the real truth.’

The singing had come to an end, and they filed past the bier one by one to bid their leader and friend a last farewell.

This is why, my brother André, we already analysed cremation in our first book and it is urgently necessary for the soul as a human being, because she now moves away from the harmonic laws for the material dying.

‘Don’t you hear anything, André?’

‘Yes, Alcar, but I don’t know where it’s coming from.

I hear a soft moaning, is it the bereaved?’

‘Partly, my boy.

Come closer.’

They stood directly beside the coffin and André saw a man lying inside who seemed about sixty years old.

‘Now do you hear anything?’

The moaning was much louder now.

‘Yes, Alcar, it’s terrible, and I also see the spiritual body that’s tossing and turning.

It want’s to get away, Alcar, do you see that?’

‘Yes, son.

It want’s to get away, but it can’t.

It’s being held back.

There, my boy, right before you, the greatest agony is being suffered, and this unfortunate man prepared it all himself.

This man, who is being kept back in his physical body, is going to be burnt, André.’

‘Oh Alcar, how terrible!

Does he have to go through this while he’s still alive?’

‘That’s just it, my son, and soon he will have to suffer much more.

His physical body will be burnt, and in the meantime he must endure this spiritually.

Now you can see how brutally cruel his brothers are, even if they act unwittingly.

This man was honoured and famous, but the gift which God granted him in order to express his feelings in music, just as a painter does in colours, were messed up, spiritually ruined.

He didn’t think about God either, and now that many are gathered around him in prayer, he truly senses the great lack of Divine Love which he never gave and never wanted to see.

Not only did he lack Divine Love, but above all he ridiculed everything that was related to the spiritual.

He too was only known to the people by his exterior, material garment.

They didn’t see the human being in him, who hated and cursed everything.

The signs of veneration which he constantly received put him in a state of self-glorification and inflated ego.

His name was on everyone’s lips, but the triumphs he gained made him forget that he had received his gift from God.

Only strong legs can carry such wealth.

When he finally got that far, he was ready to turn into an instrument of evil.

This marked the beginning of his downfall.

In his exalted position he tried to crush his colleagues, and he destroyed many a musician by his unfair criticism.

He completely forgot that his day would dawn too. Even if this wouldn’t happen on earth, it would come on yonder side of the grave.

Yet there are still people who kept on regarding him as their brother and friend.

People who couldn’t see through his mask and didn’t know him as he is spiritually.

Oh, if only they knew what is happening to him now. They would be filled with horror.

The ‘deceased’ is now in a rather dazed condition but shortly, when we’re inside the crematorium, he will go mad with revenge.’

‘Is there nothing we can do, Alcar?

Can’t we set that poor man free?’

Once he fell, and people thought he would die, but a little later, after he had regained his health, he went back to his former way of life and felt hatred towards the people and also towards God, who had given him his cross to bear.

He was felled a second time and confined to his sickbed.

And when he had recovered again, his hatred had become ever stronger, and he couldn’t be set free from our side because he refused to listen to us.

His father has been in the spirit world for a long time, but he couldn’t reach him either.

He tried everything to make his son see the situation he is in, but all to no avail.

He often reverted to spiritism to try to give his son proof of our continued existence, but he just laughed it off and poked fun at everything.

He was totally materialized and had sunken so deep spiritually that he was unable to hold on to this truth.

From this moment on we will try to help mankind together, André, by emphatically pointing to the dangers which cremation brings about. Of course this warning is primarily intended for those who didn’t live in keeping with God’s laws.

They can become aware of this by getting to know themselves.

What a heavy penalty these individuals must pay for having sunk so deeply, when they must undergo their body’s incineration while they’re still connected to it by the thread of life.

What an unbearable agony they must suffer during the burning process, while the fluid cord holds them captive and they cannot move without dragging their material casing along.

But that must be ruled out, because matter is the vehicle of the spirit and not vice versa. Of course it only applies to this process.

Our final farewell marks the end of our power over our material garment, and this generally coincides with our own wishes.

And everyone who is cremated alive sees that, or dead, because the human being is stuck to his organism if he has that attunement.

If you are coarse, brutal and you hit, and drag the human being through life by the hair, and rape, and all those other things, then you are stuck to that body, because then you have no light.

‘Look, André, that beautiful building, over there on the hill, it’s the spirit’s rack.

For those who misbehaved on earth, life after death takes on a terrible beginning.

It is said to be a house of peace, but in reality it’s a house of grief.’

Oh man, in spite of your ignorance, realize that you put yourself on that rack, and others too, and instead of honouring those who part from you, you torture them in the most terrible way you could possibly imagine.

Trust us and take this warning to heart, because in your ignorance you mock God’s laws.

We, who dwell in the land on yonder side of the grave, we want to show you the right track, which leads to the truth.

We have no selfish longings, we merely wish to help you.

We want to bring you the truth, because we know how terrible the suffering is, here in the house of grief.

Again we call out to you: Keep onto God’s roads.

Don’t build your own tracks, which are mere matter and dark, because they pass through darkness and the builders were blind and therefore couldn’t see the spiritual light.

We call out to you: Do away with these terrible conditions and return to nature, which you left behind so long ago.

Due to the terrible heat inside the incinerator the physical body is consumed with a violence which clashes with all laws of nature and opposes God’s intention.

May this act of violence be entirely abandoned before long for the benefit of mankind, to be replaced by a normal burial.

We won’t stay on till the end, André.

I mean until the body has been completely incinerated, because this would be too much for you, and too horrible to behold.

This is funeral music, André, and the people who want to attend the solemn incineration are entering from all sides. Afterwards they will tell others how beautiful it was.

Look, André, the poor man is already being placed on the catafalque which will take him down below.

We call it the lift of the dead.’

A last farewell was called out by all those present, and the lift slowly sank down at the tones of the stately organ.

‘We will follow, my boy.

Be strong, because the torture is about to start.

Do you see him, and do you hear him shouting?’

‘Yes, Alcar.’

‘He already sees and feels what is about to happen to him.’

André kept a tight hold on Alcar.

‘Come and stand close to me, my boy.’

Something terrible was going to happen.

They heard the poor man shout: ‘You brutes, murderers, is this how you honour a person?’

But this stream of abuse didn’t trouble those upstairs, they all stood there with frozen faces and were full of pity, without knowing how gruesome this poor man’s fate was.

‘He already feels the infernal pain which his spiritual body must endure, André.’

In the meantime the lift had descended into the combustion chamber.

‘It’s not bad to die, my son, because death is a mighty saviour, but to be tortured in a way which is unequalled on earth is horrible.

The spirit feels, hears and sees everything, even after it has left the body, because it stays attached to it via the fluid cord.

This only applies to those who are tied to their body, who forgot themselves during their life on earth.

Other situations exist, in which the spirits are all cut off from their physical body.

But this man remains riveted to his body until the link is broken.’

André looked, and with his spiritual eyes he could clearly perceive the body in the incinerator.

The heat inside didn’t obstruct their vision, as it was a material kind of heat.

The organ was still playing, but the people who had paid their last respects to the ‘deceased’ had left.

André now saw the body cringing, turning to and fro and writhing as if it were still alive, while the shouting, blaring and crying that he heard made him tremble with horror.

It was too much to look at and to listen to.

How dreadful this suffering was!

There were two bodies there in front of him, the physical and the spiritual.

One moment they would be standing, then they would fall and writhe around each other.

‘Oh Alcar, I can’t stand this. Let’s get out of here.’

Alcar put his arm around André’s shoulder to give him support, and they left.

He could still hear the words in his ears: ‘Hypocrites, bastards’, and lots more.

‘It’s terrible, Alcar, it’s horrible.’

‘It certainly is.

Come, my boy, I’ll help you, otherwise you won’t pull through.’

‘Oh Alcar, how terrible.

I never want to see anything like it again.

Nobody can bear this.

Oh, how that man must suffer.’

‘That’s what cremation is like for those who are tied to the physical body, my son.

The spiritual body won’t be released until after the material one has been entirely destroyed.

You will now understand how necessary it is that people’s eyes are also opened to this aspect, so that they will prefer the graveyard to the crematorium in future.

But cremation is not only to be condemned for the unfortunate spirits, the happy ones also suffer to some degree.

This depends entirely on the extent of their inner strength. But even if they belong in the first or the second sphere, they should still be advised against cremation.

So it’s all a question of their inner condition and their attunement to the spiritual.

Their happiness and their strength will be in accordance with the light they possess.

And their suffering will coincide with their sorrow and distress.

Cremation will hardly have any ill effects on a spirit that immediately moves on to the third or fourth sphere when he leaves the earth, but even though these spirits are no longer attached to their body, they will feel that something is missing when they arrive in their sphere, and this will trouble them.

I have here: ‘‘A View into the Hereafter, part II’, page 141, it concerns the consequences of cremation there.

‘Those who pass over and who still have pink cheeks, which people can see so often,’ ... and that is true, ‘ ... find themselves in that terrible situation.

The material has been abandoned by the life,’ or the life is free from the material, ‘the spirit body has freed itself from the material garment, and the life aura keeps the discarded garment alive.’

Question: ‘This keeping the discarded garment alive for a long time, does that point to a certain mentality, for example, to a being tied to earth?’

Madam, those people, that personality is still attached to that body.

So, that body still cannot die normally, and is still fed by the life, the spirit, because no separation has come yet.

Because an absolute dying ...

But you can also have that, not every body passes immediately into dying.

A seriously ill patient, for example, a body which has suffered a lot, passed immediately into rotting.

And that is the dying off.

And you also have situations where people, bodies, only die off after two, three days, four days, the coffin is already in the grave.

You do not even see that anymore.

But you still see that ...

You can then say ...

You sometimes hear that: ‘It is as if they are sleeping.’

And that is the sleeping, that is the aura which still feeds the tissue, because there is still unity.

Because the spirit, the life of feeling, the personality is still not free from the material.

Yes, if you have had a difficult, terrible life – that does not even need to be so terrible – but then you are not free just like that.

Because then that state still holds me.

I just lived it up, and did all those other things, lied and cheated, and hated, and all those other things, that is already the life of feeling and the personality.

But if we touch the body, we touch other laws, then I will not be free of that body at once.

Even if I have to go back to the earth, that state, that dying there, will still hold me for a while.

It can even be two, three, four weeks.

And then I will also already go into the grave; even if I do not experience the rotting then, because if you experience the rotting, then you are completely in that.

But now you are out of that.

You stand next to that, and you can already go where you want.

Yes, you will feel, you are sucked back, something pulls you back.

And that is still the state, the being one with that body.

And this is why you see, if someone dies, then you also sometimes see those pink cheeks.

And then it is always, usually suspicious.

There are thousands of people who are afraid of death, and thousands, just say, almost, here in the city ...

Oh well, who knows something about the life, who surrenders.

But we also have people here under me, and they are still walking everywhere, who read books, and they are still afraid of that death.

Because they still do not know all the things which happen.

Because that is purely the world of feeling, the consciousness of the human being which dies, which experiences the dying.

You do not experience the dying according to the body.

Isn’t that nice?

But you experience the dying.

That body goes of its own accord.

But you are the one who dies, and not the body.

That had to ... something else for the world.

‘The human being dies’, people say, yes.

Yes, then they think of the corpse.

They think of that material being, but science and mankind actually still know nothing abut that spiritual dying.

What do people here in Europe know about spiritually dying?

Isn’t it true?

Nothing.

But the body dies.

But that does not die, sir.

Yes, rotting, of course.

But we are not talking about that.

The actual dying process, we are that ourselves.

And now you die spiritually.

And spiritually dying, sir ...

They laugh at me!

And how simple it is.

The body goes down, goes into the grave; from material to material.

But we ...

That lady comes there with the question: why do those people, that corpse, still have colours?

That is, I say, because there is still being one with the spirit.

So the spirit is busy freeing itself.

Freeing itself if the dying for the spirit, the releasing from the material.

(Gentleman in the hall): ‘The second death.’

And they call that the Grim Reaper.

(Gentleman in the hall): ‘The second death.’

The second death.

But now you also have spiritual dying off on the other side.

That is also there.

A human being has love.

I will explain it to you at once, how wonderful, clear and natural that is.

There are people, you have, for example – you hear that in society – you have someone whom you love a great deal, and he pulls your leg (cheats you), he hits and kicks; then those feelings start to die.

That is pure dying.

And you all feel that, and that is now, I can also tell you, cosmic again, that is the spiritual death of something.

Of something.

And then you also get the spiritual dying with regard to the body, madam, and then those colours go down.

And then the spirit withdraws itself.

And then it is purely materially and spiritually dying; killing.

There are also some, they then stand in front of a mirror, they are still standing combing their hair.

And there is a man, who also asks: ‘Do you have a bit of tobacco for me?’

He also still had his pipe in his pocket.

That is not much cop.

That is not a great consciousness, because they are attached to the tobacco, and they hold onto this, and this, and that, and the whole world, madam.

And if you experience that on earth, and those people die, and all those thousands of longings, madam, because of which they are still attached to the earth, to that material body and life, all of that causes those colours.

André was in a sad mood.

It was a terrible form of torture.

He had seen how the poor man was unable to free himself when he tried to get away.

His body had to be entirely burnt before the fluid cord would break.

He had seen both bodies; the one felt nothing, whereas the other was all sensitivity, and he had seen how these bodies writhed around each other, matter and spirit, down there in that horrible oven.

‘You’re right, Alcar.

This is not a house of peace, it’s a house of grief.’

‘Nobody thinks about that on earth, André.

The spiritual body must not only behold how its physical carriage is burnt, it must also undergo the pain and the grief which is caused by the incineration.

This isn’t fantasy, it’s sad reality, a reality which is entirely due to a lack of spiritual feeling.

He nevertheless remained sad, and kept on thinking about Alcar, because he couldn’t get over the impressions he had undergone during his last journey.

Alcar told him to have a little patience, and if his gloominess didn’t ease off, he would soon take him along again to the higher regions.

And it certainly didn’t, because it wasn’t easy to deal with the sufferings of all those unhappy people.

Now and then he would brighten up a bit and seemed to have mastered the situation, but afterwards a reaction would set in, which made him fall back into an even gloomier mood.

It was all a tremendous burden to him.

He had to handle it on his own, and nobody could help him.

On the morning before he left together with Alcar, he had been going around the house singing, but later when he came downstairs he had a feeling as if heavy thunderstorms were gathered overhead.

Yet he wanted to be strong and not bother Alcar too much.

He prayed intensely to God for help.

It made things easier for him.

Oh, that poor man!

He couldn’t forget him.

He kept on seeing that dead body in his mind’s eye. It had appeared to come alive again in that terrible heat.

No, he never wanted to see anything like that again.

It had kept him awake the first few nights, and he needed rest to be able to do his work during the day.

When his thoughts ran wild and prevented him from falling asleep, Alcar would step in and put him into a semi-trance.

He was very aware of this.

Alcar would withdraw quietly and he would fall asleep.

It wasn't the usual kind of sleep, he could tell by his head in the morning.

Many days passed by.

He plucked up courage because he knew he had to weather it.

He knew that it would mean a big step forward in his development if his spirit could stand up to all this.

He also knew that everything has its price, wisdom too.

It’s all a question of will power.

One evening Alcar informed him that at night they would be travelling to the higher spheres again.

‘We’ll have to move our journey forward a bit, André, because you’re unable to break away from the things you saw.

True enough, you had a trying journey.

All the same, you’ve got enough strength to bear it.

Get yourself ready, we’ll be back in the spheres again tonight.’

Alcar had told him that he would take him along to see the heavy traffic between the earth and Summerland, and André was curious what it would be like.

He was still in a downcast mood when went to his room early.

He pottered around a bit first, and he was surprised that he felt no longing at that time to disembody.

His room was full of spiritual pieces of work that he had received from Alcar and the other painters.

It had taken him quite a lot of struggle and will power to get that far.

One has to persevere and be prepared to put up with quite a bit to achieve a certain thing.

People only saw the results and not the struggle and the sorrow it had all cost him.

He had been scoffed at and ridiculed and even after he had got well underway, they had still poked fun at him.

Yet he had decorated the walls with lots of pieces from Alcar.

He slowly felt the sacred impact from the side beyond coming over him.

His head got heavy and so he quickly undressed.

Alcar had told him that when he wanted to disembody during the night, he should lie on his back before he went to sleep, it would make it easier to set him free.

So that’s what he did.

It was only half past nine.

But he turned off the light and after about ten minutes he was sleeping like a log.

‘All right, my son’, were the first words he heard, and immediately afterwards he saw his leader. With a cry of joy he threw his arms around his neck.

‘Steady, André, we are one again now.

The last few days have been tough for you, there was such a lot you had to cope with.

In my presence you’ll soon calm down again.

On our side we’re more capable of bearing such sorrow. It’s hard for an earthbound spirit.

You notice how careful we must be.

If I were to give you everything that can be experienced during such a journey in one go, how do you think that would make you feel!

You would not be able to stand it.

Come on, my boy, look me in the eye.’

With tears in his eyes André smiled at his leader.

He sensed Alcar’s enormous strength and he saw that great white light around him again.

‘You felt no longing to disembody, but that was all my doing André.

All right, we can leave now.

It’s marvellous that God let us build this link.

You can see how every bit of hard work finds support and nurture in the spheres.

Those who seriously strive and who have the courage to fight will become wiser and can learn as much as they want.

This goes for every human being on earth.

Now you will soon be freed from your melancholy.’

Ask anyone who lives here what cremation is like, they will all tell you that it ought to be discouraged.

It’s nothing but a torment.

A torture in the spirit.

I therefore advise those who intend to be cremated not to do so.

Think this over and rather be safe than sorry: choose to be buried.

Those on earth who are learned and believe cremation to be beautiful and clean bear darkness in their soul, because this ‘beauty and cleanliness’ entails material darkness on this side.

To man on earth I call out: ‘If you have followed everything so far, then put an end to your foolhardiness and try to develop yourself in the spirit.

There’s still time.

You will soon pass on and then only those things will be of value which you bear within.

Develop your feeling and make up for the wrong you did.

We who dwell on this side, all of us who have left the earth and have dwelt here for hundreds of years, were compelled to accept this truth.

We have learnt that love is the highest and the most sacred of all, and that they stand for light and happiness in the life after death.

Here, my friends, you cannot hide.

Only here does love bear value.

Develop that power, your life, learn to love.

Learn our language, the language of love, which you will have to understand on your arrival here, or darkness will be your fate.

‘I’m very curious Alcar, where he will be.

Is he living in the Land of Hatred?’

‘We will soon see, come on now, we must go this way.

I can see it now, he’s in an intermediary sphere, beyond the crowd.

We will find him back in an unconscious state, due to the burning of his physical garment.’

André saw how his leader was following a set target.

It was remarkable to him how a spirit could find its bearings.

Everywhere Alcar could find his way about in this darkness.

They entered some place, it seemed like a cavern.

These were subterranean corridors, and yet he was able to see.

There were scores of creatures about.

They passed through lots of corridors and caves.

In the darkness he discerned others who had fallen asleep; they were lying there, expressionless.

He saw these creatures everywhere; they slept the sleep of the dead and were alive, living in eternity.

Everything was misery, nothing but grief and sorrow.

These were wasted lives.

To the right and the left he saw coves where they had been laid down to rest.

From the earth into this darkness.

Oh, he understood everything.

And yet they hadn’t fallen as deep as those in the Valley of Sorrows.

He understood every attunement and knew the conditions of feeling of all these various beings.

Now his leader stopped.

Had he found him?

He was very curious.

‘Look, André, there’s our man, we’ve found him.’

André saw a creature, lying separated from the others, huddled up.

‘Do you recognize him, André?’

Yes, it was him, the man he had seen burning on earth.

‘He’s in an unconscious state.

André saw how his leader focussed his concentration.

He sensed how he was linking up in order to make the unfortunate fellow return to consciousness.

After a few moments he gave some sign of life.

Did he hear correctly?

It was just as if he heard him crying.

Yes, he was moaning.

Poor fellow.

Alcar withdrew his powers from him and the moaning stopped immediately.

‘I suppose everything is clear to you, André?

I made him become aware, so he began to feel his condition.

At the moment his sleep is still deep.

His present awakening will only be the start of his life on this side, and he will begin to feel the pains which were brought on by the cremation.

Apart from the agonies due to the cold and the darkness, he will also feel the piercing pains inflicted by his cremation.

His body was burnt during a material condition of feeling, his attunement to matter.

Spiritually he disgraced himself during his life on earth.

They don’t want to accept this on earth.

The sensitivity of his spiritual body was attuned to matter.

He will therefore experience everything in the spirit too, because he was not set free from his body.

The cremation drove him into this condition because the shock was too great for his spiritual attunement.

Cremation, on the other hand, goes too fast.

You will certainly already feel it: souls are attached to the human body and burn.

That shock is dreadful!

They are separate, of course, the burning process rips the soul and body apart.

But the soul is not conscious.

It feels material, earthly.

It therefore walks round with that shock, wherever it goes, it will only be released from that state when it possesses another life or possesses such a spiritual height, that it has conquered itself.

Millions of people, Karel, suffer that they scream from it as a result of the astral laws!”

The human being, who experiences a fatal accident, experiences a spiritual shock.

Now a process is completed for the life aura, namely the taking on of the physical aura, which otherwise takes months, in only a few minutes and this means for inner life and the personality, the shock, and the personality has to deal with this!

What do you actually destroy as a result of cremation?

Which life juices do you deny the spirit?

Or do you think, when you go into the ground – so have died here – that the spirit has nothing more to do with the organism?

Listen, then I will explain these laws to you and you can accept them.

It is the Divine truth, I have seen those people and was able to experience the laws.

We as people absorb the coarse-material life aura of the organism and that is the material, which serves us on the other side in order to give us the ground under our feet, otherwise we would sink away and we would have no more existence.

We only get that material completely – it is therefore an aura – when the organism has reached the seventh grade of decay, then we absorb that aura and this already starts when we have left the organism.

Can you still do that if you have been cremated?

No, as a result of one law, now burning, the human being denies himself, the human being destroys, his continuing existence, the source of life and existence, he destroys spiritual foundations, which he now lacks and as a result of this he wanders round like a soap bubble, does not have any ground under his feet.

And this happens as a result of cremation!

In this way every human being has to experience his own laws, but for his evolution, his Divine attunement.

What does the academic know, the human being, about the Other Side, the soul, the emotional life of the human being?

Nothing!

But why does he want to do something for the soul, if he does not understand it, deforms it, lets it go to seed, abuses it, burns it alive?

Because that is what it is, isn’t it?’

(Gentleman in the hall): ‘Master Zelanus, I would like to come back to cremation, by means of which the aura is destroyed. What happens to those peoples where the people are cremated without exception?’

The aura is not destroyed.

(Gentleman in the hall): ‘Oh, I thought that you had said that the last time.’

Yes, the physical aura dissolves, but it is not destroyed.

It is the shock which you experience.

(Gentleman in the hall): ‘So all those peoples, where they are all cremated for their religion ...’

They do not know any better.

(Gentleman in the hall): ‘And those who are also burned because of an accident ...’

Yes, all the same thing.

Look, you lack the physical aura in that world, because this happens with a shock.

You get, you suck that back later.

But that aura does not dissolve, in the sense that it cannot be used for the spirit.

Now everything goes too fast.

Can you feel this?

And now you must experience that ‘beyond the coffin’.

Read ‘A View into the Hereafter.’

After all, you do not know the laws, for ‘beyond the coffin’, for your body.

What is your state like?

Which aura do you absorb?

So that aura cannot be destroyed, you get that gradually, but you experience that shock spiritually, consciously or unconsciously, that means, the first sphere, or a lower state, you experience that.

And you need that aura of that organism, because the spiritual body builds itself up by means of that.

But you have lower organs here for the organism, and that lower aura serves again for fundamental feeling, power, energy; you need that.

This is growing again, dying is growing towards: a new life.

And then the spirit needs, the personality needs the aura of the body in the coffin.

A great many auras, seven different auras.

Now cremation, thousands, millions of problems.

The human being is cremated, now you should look into the darkness, not into the hells, but the human being lives between the Land of Twilight of the first sphere and the hells, the dark, the deep hatred, the deep conscious hatred and misery, you see millions of people walking there, all cremated people.

Can you feel this?

They no longer have a body.

Because of your rotting process as a corpse, the normal disintegration, you experience seven transitions of aura, that is the bottom on which you will soon stand in the spheres.

Be cremated, then you will not have any bottom, any ground, nothing, you will float, you will hang, you cannot stand.

They hang like that in space, they no longer have a bottom, that aura has been burned, dissolved, gone, they did not get time to develop that.

Can you from the lowest class suddenly act the professor?

Then you must first get the understanding, get the feeling in order to act like Paganini.

That is feeling, and you must build up that feeling, you will experience that, experience that evolving.

And it is only then that you can say: ‘That aura is mine.’

Those are laws.

If a suicide is cremated, which can happen as a result of a ‘request in a will’, can’t it, the organism is burned, but the soul is now attached to his fire.

If you do not understand this, then this can be explained, when, for example, you follow a murderer, who suffers as a result of his ‘remorse’, so terribly that his spirit cannot deal with those sorrows and yet continues to belong to life.

That man walks round with his misery, he cannot free himself from it, that human being experiences it.

We remain ‘behind the coffin’ as we are here, in other words, nothing has changed on our inner self.

The fire now brought about by cremation is dreadful.

You are spiritually burnt and that cannot be cured, the human being must cure that himself, by beginning a new life and of course making good all his faults.

The misery which you impose upon yourself by cremation cannot be described in writing.

You would first have to be able to see this sinister scene for yourself, only then would it get through to you that you mock soul, spirit and life, and do not yet know the universal laws.

Only when cremation has carried out its material destruction, does the soul become free from its body, but it drags that burning destruction along with it, it is like a burning torch and remains alive.

For the time being there will be no end to this situation, because you as a person are attuned to the darkness; there is no love and therefore no light either in your life, you feel material and the world in which you live also possesses that same attunement, which is your life of feeling!

Only then when you awaken inwardly, that is to say change, will your situation change.

But we now know how difficult it is to bring a trivial character trait to the spiritual, so what is needed for the whole personality?

You must conquer it, only then will those pains lessen, will that fire dissolve, you will burst inside and outside, your life blood will no longer be there, you have sullied laws, misformed them, the lovely cremation denied you everything!

Jeus sees that, he is conscious, and hears that the person is moaning, screaming as if he is being skinned alive, which makes him want to cry, it is so terrible.

Of course, we will do everything to help these children, but we are powerless, because they have to accept that dark atmosphere attunement, and we cannot do a thing about it now.

Master Alcar, under the orders of his masters, found this absolutely necessary in order to bring the millions of people of the earth to spatial analysis, so that your horrific cremation will disappear!

(Lady in the hall): ‘Those people who passed over from serious diseases, can they quickly release themselves from that?’

You are released from that within ten seconds, in a millionth of a second, if you have the consciousness, of course.

If you live under the sphere, under the reality, you will feel ...

If you have that reality in you, then you are free; and if you are under that reality, then you still continue to walk round for thousands of years with that same disease on the other side.

You still have your pains.

If you have had those and those troubles, then you also have those pains.

Why?

Because your personality is not any different.

Can you feel this?

That is exactly the same as the cremation, just let yourself be burnt.

You walk round with that fire.

And then the human being says: but we are free from the organism.

But, your spirit is unconscious.

You do not know and feel the reality, so you experience that unreality consciously, you are not any different.

Gradually the scars disappear, received as a result of cremation, but before he is freed from it, five hundred years have passed by and it takes longer before the human being is back again to the harmonic laws of God.

Can you feel this?’

Now the cremation must dissolve.

How?

Only by means of the word.

Because he is now starting to understand, because we now elevate him into the universal truth for space, for everything, for a sphere, for fatherhood and motherhood, that fire dissolves, he gets expansion.

Because he is narrow-minded, because he accepts that damnation, he is also attached to that burning process.

And when we are that far, we will begin with the spiritual systems.

Then we will take him to the Temple of the Mother, the Temple of Space.

Because space is mother and says: “Just lie down here, I will soon come back to you.”

Weeks, months, for others years and years, pass before the life moves, before the life relaxes again, before the thought experiences an action, thinking ... thinking: who am I?

I live in a space; I am now ‘beyond the coffin’.

That body means nothing more, for you have lost it.

Everything that you did there belongs to you, because it is you!

Every deed is now a footstep, is a foundation, is the ground.

You condensed that bottom!

Because the human being who forgets himself, the human being who just lives it up, has no bottom in our world.

You must condense that bottom, that ground, yourself by means of the deeds.

Question: ‘But cremation dissolves everything, doesn’t it?

And if the human being must immediately return to the earth, then what?

Is the soul not free from that fire then?

Then the soul descends into the world of the unconscious, doesn’t it?’

Jozef says: ‘You can think, sir, my compliments.

But it is not like that either.

You have read and that is what concerns you, when you must return to the earth, the human being dissolves in the world of the unconscious, that is reincarnation.

And then you would be free from that fire?

But, have you read the book ‘The Cycle of the Soul’, sir?

Did you not read that Lantos Dumonché was attached to his body and then had to wait until his normal life would have ended?

Do you have that?

Well, the suicide, who is burned free as a result of cremation, walks around with those burn marks until the time, the normal, Divine harmonic time for his evolution takes him back to the earth again and then he can begin a new life.’

Thon also asks: ‘And does that take so long?’

Jozef replies: ‘Understand well, sir, we people, that is what it concerns now, have kicked ourselves out of the harmonic laws of God.

We did that ourselves.

The human being now, who is in harmony, goes before us.

Those people receive their new organism earlier and this is understandable.

As a result of this the disharmonic human being can wait, wait for a long time.

Yet he will get an organism one day and he will be drawn again by man and woman of the earth and then a new life will begin.’

Master Alcar will now explain spiritual laws to him for cremation, and afterwards the hells and the heavens.

Do you know his first book: ‘A View into the Hereafter’?

For Jeus as well, that was really a view into other, namely spiritual worlds.

His master will now connect him to cremation, because that cursed cremation has to disappear from the earth!

As André, Jeus experiences that horrible situation, Master Alcar follows a person who, during his life, decided to be cremated, but the laws of which he does not know.

Jeus now sees that this person is painfully aware of his misery, because this personality is attached to the body, since he has forgotten himself during the earthly life.

Now the body goes into the oven, the personality is conscious and experiences that, it is the most horrific thing which we know.

Both this event and suicide are the worst things, which you can subject yourself to, and we come to warn you through Jeus of mother Crisje!

By following the dark life on earth, the soul as a spiritual personality is attached to the body, and these are the laws for us and your spiritual existence.

That is in your own hands!

After all, a person who searches for good things, loves, possesses another sensation and feels free of his body after death, but in spite of that happiness, cremation is also both material and spiritual destruction for him.

Jeus now gets to know all of that and will soon pass it onto your life.

If this person had been aware of a life after his life on earth, he would have decreed in his last will that his mortal remains be confided to the bowels of the earth, in keeping with God’s eternal laws.

According to these eternal laws man is born out of dust and he will return unto dust. However, this was not meant to be done violently but slowly, gradually, in a natural way.

In a little while you will see why it’s necessary to bury the material garment in the usual manner.

This poor unfortunate man wished to be incinerated after his death, and now this wish will be fulfilled.

That is cremation.

(Lady in the hall): ‘... they wanted that themselves ...’

What did you say?

(Lady in the hall): ‘... they wanted that themselves anyway, they decided that themselves.’

Yes, ‘I wanted it’; but if you then do not know what that law is like.

Someone wanted to become a boxer.

And then someone says: ‘Come on, I will teach you it’, and then he began and then they already beat him so that he went blind in one eye.

And then he says: ‘But I did not want that.’

Then the other one says: ‘Then you should not have boxed.’

And there are thousands of examples in life.

Someone wanted to learn languages, he took on sixteen of them.

Then that mother says: ‘If only he was a baker.’

The seventeenth took him to Rosenburg (psychiatric institution in The Hague).

And he is still there now.

That lady came to me: ‘Can you do something for him?’

I say: ‘No, madam’, that one was just too much.

Sixteen languages.

What do you want to do with sixteen languages?

It is megalomania.

Learn to love, madam.

Learn to be in harmony with the infinite and with this place.

We talk about that in that book. Are you lazy, are you dirty, are you filthy, are you idle, are you bungling, messing up, wasteful?

Madam, then first lay those foundations for that other, and make sure that you come into harmony with your house, your husband, your children, those will then be the spiritual foundations for going upwards.

It is only then that the human being experiences his laws consciously, when the personality also wants to experience those laws as the ‘own will’ and he can, this is clear after all, no longer be released from himself, that is his thinking and feeling and his decision!

I will continue with the question by L. v. Ettingen-Bernhard: ‘If children from four to fourteen years old are cremated after their passing on, will this then be an obstruction for their continuing on the other side?

The parents have decided in this and the children cannot do anything about that, can they?

Can you answer this?’

Jozef says: ‘Listen carefully, in the first place this: few children are cremated and that is just as well!

No, the child does not suffer as a result of cremation.

The more consciousness we possess for wrong thoughts and lovelessness, the more this has significance for cremation.

Therefore the more we represent the darkness, the more cremation can hit us and we will walk round with that law; I already explained this completely.

You can read about this in the books ‘A View into the Hereafter’.

The child therefore does not possess the consciousness of the adult being with all his evil.

As a result of this, this must be clear to you, cremation has no hold over that life, because the emotional life has disengaged itself for all that misery.

You can understand this.

There are no children from four to fourteen years old living in the hells, that is not possible!

You will also read this once more in those same books and there you will get a wonderful picture of your own emotional life and your consciousness, but also of that of the child!

There are crazy parents, who cannot distance themselves from their child and now want to keep the ‘ash’ of that little life.

The Other Side and the laws say: Do not be so gloomy, give that life back to God and his laws.

Did Christ not say: You will return to dust?

Or do we wish to know better than him?

No, a thousand times no, people of the earth.

You cannot destroy the child by your self-love and that is just as well, or all those little ones would also have to accept and experience the suffering and the sorrow because of the fathers and mothers, the mites then, the poor, who cannot and do not want to surrender anything, who want to keep everything, which is from God!

Harsh perhaps?

You keep hearing it, the human being is still so poor in spirit.

No, the little ones have nothing to do with cremation, only the adult being.

But as a result of cremation the child has also lost something and those good, loving parents do that.’

Jozef also says: ‘Anyone who possesses love, men and women, cannot experience any misery, even if you are suddenly torn from the body, your attunement will of course receive you, you have laid foundations for your inner life and no law nor human being can deny you that!

That is your possession for life ‘behind the coffin’!

But we were talking about hells and heavens, about good and evil, passion and violence and also about being in harmony with the laws of God, weren’t we?

Now decide for yourself what you will now experience, you can do it, as a result of the books ‘A View into the Hereafter’; it is there that you can experience your own attunement.

You can now determine your sphere as a result of those books.

Can’t you, ladies and gentlemen?

Are you free from hatred, deception, lies, snapping and snarling?

Do you not possess any foundations for your spiritual life, as a result of which we are faced with our ‘dictionary’ again and must possess all of it for the good, the harmonic laws of God?

Well, is our friendship spiritually responsible?

Do we have love in us?

Attunement to the Spheres of Light?

Did we not talk about that, when we treated those laws together?

Decide now, where you will stay after this life, where you have attunement to and you will know then, where you are going and what must be cleared up for our spirit, our emotional life and the personality.

Just understand it, you are universally deep, the human being is wonderful, because the human being is a Deity!

If there are still inferiority complexes in you, then I hope that you are now capable of throwing them overboard, of embellishing them as a result of this knowledge.

All of you can now make progress, now that you know that you have to represent God in everything!’

In the East there are so many philosophers, and people have contact; remarkable that these laws cannot be received.

And why not?

The human being is not open.

There are so many philosophers, so many occult people in the East, and these messages do not come through.

On the contrary, the philosophers say that it is ‘hygienic.’

What?

How is that?

Do you see?

So people do not even have direct contact there.

There are hundreds and thousands who are open, millions, to the metaphysical laws, the occult laws, they speak and see, disembody; and they do not know that.

That is the first thing that the human being must receive: do not accept any cremation.

Thousands of people allow themselves to be cremated, but ‘beyond the coffin’ they do not know the laws for their soul and spirit.

They think that this is better than rotting away in the ground. However, they do not know that it is precisely as a result of this rotting that the spiritual personality absorbs life auras, and needs them in order to begin a spiritual existence, which will serve as a foundation.

Since the mortal being does not know the hereafter, he comes to abnormal thoughts about himself in our life; millions of children of the earth have had to accept that.

You are now faced with a horrific torturing, which is incomparable to anything that you can experience on earth through evil. This is so awful, also so inhuman, that we will do everything to get rid of that and your cursed cremation, and this is only possible now!

Only now, dear reader, because we possess an instrument for this.

Why did Ramakrishna, Dante, Buddha, Pythagoras, and the ancient Egyptians not speak about this?

It was because they could not experience this contact.

You can already see as a result of this, that Jeus will receive a wisdom, which surpasses everything.
