View of life dependent on belief in the survival of the soul ....

Individual people's views of life are quite different, for they are always the product of the individual's spiritual direction. However, the human being will undoubtedly take an affirmative attitude towards life, i.e. recognise it as somehow meaningful, if he regards himself as a creature which has a task on earth. However, the human being to whom it does not seem acceptable that all creation is a means to an end and that he, as a human being, is to a certain extent the reason for every work of creation, will find the whole of life meaningless and will find the thought of being able to end his earthly life on his own authority pleasing because he takes offence at all those events and sufferings which are imposed on people from above.

He has no real evidence for the assumption that his soul's life ends with bodily death and yet he assumes this so certainly that he arranges his life on earth accordingly, i.e., he lives without any sense of responsibility because he considers it impossible that he will ever have to answer for himself. He has no real proof and yet presupposes this assumption for his walk on earth. His view of life is based on the assumption of non-existence after death. He has no impulse, no faith that teaches him to think otherwise. Only irrefutable evidence of a continuation of life after death would change his previous outlook on life, but this cannot be given to him because such an awakened faith would have no value before God .....

Therefore, he cannot receive positive knowledge about the soul's continued existence, he just has to 'believe' the teachings about it, he has to come to this belief himself, for which he has sufficient means at his disposal. Only when he has gained this conviction does his view of life begin to waver. He will now make comparisons, he will no longer want to acknowledge what he had previously advocated, he will welcome a change in external living conditions which will help him to completely abandon his wrong opinions and now look at earthly life in a completely different way. And thus the willing human being struggles through it himself if only he pays attention to this problem, which appeals to him to solve and thus stimulates spiritual research.

Once the human being has overcome this obstacle the danger for him is over, for now his thoughts will be directed, always towards the eternal truth, and he will now also accept earthly life humbly and patiently, for he knows that earthly life is only granted to him for a short time and that he must make use of this time and sever the connection which taught him wrong thinking. Now it becomes clear to him how erroneous the results of such educated thinking are. Faith in God is the foundation on which every building should rest, yet without faith the truth cannot be conveyed to the human being and thus he cannot attain the view of life which affirms everything, i.e., which is the path to the right knowledge .....

Amen
