Detached from the heaviness of the earth, the being who has complied with the will of God, is now presented with a sight in the hereafter, impossible to describe to man on earth, because he cannot grasp what God's love has created outside of earth and what joys the Father has prepared for those who have proven themselves to be children of God. Incomparable joys are waiting for them .... and the more diligently the child was active on earth to fulfill the will of God, the brighter the light it now approaches. The soul has now escaped the chaos of darkness, it enters a sphere that is bright, light and clear and closed to the demons of the underworld, and these can therefore no longer affect the souls now standing in the light, so that these can no longer be troubled by evil power.
And this state is so extremely beneficent and joy-inducing, because the struggle of the soul is finished .... in it is peace and around it, shining light and indescribable bliss. For all beings who dwell in the same sphere, contribute to increase the bliss. The love of these beings has reached a degree rendering them worthy of the nearness of the Lord, because they desire by virtue of this love, and the fulfillment of their fervent desire is beyond all measure gratifying and of such a kind, that the love-receiving being must pass on to all beings in the universe, everything that it receives itself in an undiminished way, to all beings in the universe.
Because the heavenly Father's love does not run out; it flows over uninterruptedly to all creatures and therefore also goes uninterruptedly to all His creatures on the way over innumerable perfect - i.e. standing in light and in truth - beings, which are simultaneously also receivers and transmitters of this Divine love-power. Only in the state of perfection, the being is able to bear this Divine fullness of love, and only in the state of perfection it is able to pass on this power of love, and therefore the latter is also the task of these beings in the hereafter, that they are mediators of all power out of God .... that they work incessantly in the will of the eternal Divinity.
People often have such a wrong idea of life in eternity, that they imagine it in contemplative rest and perpetual enjoyment, and yet eternal life is a state of busy activity, all happiness, all state of bliss expresses itself in tireless activity, in constant help to release all unredeemed, and a state of rest would be synonymous with perishing and ruin. Only the earthly state of toil and oppressive worry is not to be compared with that work in the hereafter .... the eternal life in perfection is completely unimpressed by any forces that could express themselves burdensomely.
Only a close union with the Divine Lord and Savior demands this activity, and only the Father's will is fulfilled, in that all who stand in the light as His children, carry out the activity in His will. And thus man can never imagine a state of rest as the epitome of eternal bliss, for everything that lives must be active, and thus eternal life is an everlasting conscious working and carrying out of the Divine will .....
Amen
