Now, I will come to you. I think it time that you have a bit more of the lessons given to you. We have told you in the past about life and what it is, but It is such a slow process and you learn so little in one life and yet, it is important.
So, I think we will go on with the subject of why the death because it seems to be of interest here to night. Death is as necessary as birth for just as a car wears out until it goes to the trash heap with all its power for moving and its power for going places gone. The human body, which is run by the spirit and the soul, and the mind, wears out. The different parts, which make it run, are worn. They have lost their usefulness and the soul must be set free, but it is not death. Only of the body for spirit and the body with it of etheric value goes on to again, in time, become another living soul which must learn and experience, have pleasure, trouble, pain, and sorrow again for it is by these things that the soul progresses.
We are not going back now to the preexistence in the animal or back further to the birds, reptiles, and fish. We are speaking of the homosapien stages. You see, when you say to someone, “Oh I wish we could keep them here", what you are doing, actually, is retarding progress because it is time for new progression. It is hard. to see those whom you have loved gone but think of it in this way, they have merely gone on a journey. For instance, if someone leaves you and settles elsewhere, they are not dead, they have merely gone across to another place to live. That which they have left behind is merely the worn out body or vehicle which is of no use anymore in which they cannot live in comfort and ease.
You would not say to someone that they must keep on living in a house which was so run down that it was not comfortable to live in. No, you would say it is past repair so live in another one or rebuild the house. If the house was not in a stage where it could be rebuilt, you would not wish them to live there and that which was left of the house should be torn down and go back to the elements and the parts possibly reused. But, the body when it goes cannot be used except when organs which are not destroyed can be implanted.
The person who lived within that body has graduated and has a much more perfect body than that which they left. It is perfection. The spirit body is not capable of all of the hurt and destruction that the human body is. For awhile, one is perfection as far as body goes. The mind is something else for the mind has stored within it all of those things for good or bad which one has thought and learned, and experience. That does not change ever. It goes on, and on, and on with the person but the spirit body, as well as the spirit world, is perfection in the sense of quality of being.
Now, when one is a murderer, a thief, or has harmed in other ways someone upon the earth. Then he finds himself with a perfect spiritual body himself but he finds that the mind which he has taken with him will not let him enjoy it to the fullest in the spirit world. He does not feel pain but he finds that he can not enjoy his spirit body so he knows that he must go on to earth again in order to make up for that which he has done before.
We seldom hear in our spirit world, or see, those who are in that category stay very long with us because they find that they are much more unhappy in our world here than they were upon the earthplane, because, you see, in our world thoughts can be seen. It is not a case of only, let's say, hearing thoughts mentally with the spirit mind, but one can see as a picture, the minds of other people and they can read these people who are bad. They can read what the other person is thinking of them and this is more torture than it would be to be hurt in the physical upon the earthplane, and they cry out to go back to earth that they may condone what they have done.
In this case there is not free choice. Oh, there is choice but one does not want it. It is only those who have tried to do good which can stand the thoughts which are given forth in the spirit realm from others. I have told you this tonight because I know of your thoughts which are given forth in the spirit rea1m from others. I know your thoughts for the one on the sick bed tonight and we are trying very hard to keep her with you awhile longer. But please, when you know her body is not functioning enough for her to be happy here, please do not try with your minds to keep her on your earthplane, because you are not being good to her.
She will find on the other side, she is much happier, but we are not saying she, will. not be with you awhile yet because we are trying to give her a little more life. So, we give you this as a picture. Sooner or later, all of you here will be in spirit for all go where I am. You do not stay unless you wish, but it is something one cannot avoid. Not something to look forward to in fear for the body in which you are imprisoned at present is merely that to give you something to work with here, on your earth plane. The beautiful spiritual body which you have built up by your past millenniums of experience is indestructible and a billion years from. now you will still be alive thinking, and much more in progress than at present.
Good night.
