wretched teacher tries distractedly to keep the child fairly
peaceful and quiet until the end of the school day. The first
term in school doesn't matter much, the same as the first
life on Earth doesn't matter much.
 The child progresses from class to class or grade to
grade, each one becoming more important than the one
before until in the end the school classes or grades lead up
to the culmination of one's achievement, whatever it may
be, what is coming next pre-med school? Law school? Or
a lowly plumber's mate? No matter what it is the person
has to study and pass some examinations, and it is worth
noting that some plumbers earn more than some doctors.
The status symbolizing on Earth is all wrong, it doesn't
matter what a person's parents were, the only thing that
matters in the afterlife is what THAT PERSON HAS
BECOME. You can have an educated gentleman with the
kindest of thoughts while he is just the son of a plumber on
Earth. Again, you can have another person who might
even be the curator of a museum, he might have had all
the advantages of a high birth-status and he may be worse
than a pig in his manners or lack of manners. Values on
Earth are wrong, completely wrong, only the values of the
afterlife matter.
 In the early days of this particular Round of civilization
things were rather rudimentary and crude, people learned
lessons by going out and bonking somebody on the head or
by getting bonked on the head instead. Sometimes the two
parties would be humble yeomen or farm workers, some-
times they would be high knights jousting at a royal palace;
it doesn't matter how you are killed, when you are killed
well you are dead and then you've got to go on to another
life.

  As the world itself becomes more mature in this Round
of existence the stresses and strains which one may have to
overcome become more sophisticated. One goes to business
and gets all the hatred, the jealousies and the pettiness of
office life, all the cut-throat competition in car salesmanship,
insurance salesmanship, or any of the other competitive
trades or professions. One is discouraged in present-day
world life from knocking one's neighbor on the noggin,
you have to do it by politely cutting his throat behind his
back, or, in other words, getting him framed so that if, for
instance, you are an author and you don't like another
author then you gang up with a couple of other authors and
you frame your victim. You produce a lot of false evidence
and then you get a pressman on the job, you pay him a
dollop of money and if he is a drinking sort of fellow you
wine him and dine him, then he goes and writes an article
about the victim and all the other silly creeps in the media
a most low profession or trade lap it up hook, line and
sinker, and they do their best to damn the author they have
never even read or met. That is called civilization.
The doctor paused and said,  I hope you're taking all this
in, if not you'd better stop me, I've got to teach you some-
thing because you seem to have learnt nothing at all in
your Earth life.
Molygruber nodded, he was going a bit cross-eyed by now,
and so the doctor continued:
 After one has decided in the astral world what is needed,
then circumstances are investigated and suitable prospective
parents are selected. Then when the husband and wife on
Earth have done their stuff the entity in the astral is prepared
and he  dies to the astral world and is shoved out into the
mundane world as a baby. In almost every instance the
trauma of getting born is so severe that he forgets all about
his past life and that is why we get people saying,  Oh, I
didn't ask to be born, don't blame me for what I've done.
 When a person dies to the Earth he or she will have
reached a certain status of understanding, he or she may
have learned something of metaphysics, and so will have
gained knowledge which helps in the next world. In a case
85
like yours, Molygruber, you seem to be singularly bereft of
all knowledge of life after death so this is what it is like.
 If a person has only lived a very few lives on the Earth
plane the three dimensional plane then when they leave
the Earth, or  die as it is miscalled, the astral body or
soul or whatever you like to call it is received into a low-
grade astral world suitable for the knowledge of the person
who has just arrived. You can say a human boy or man
doesn't know much so he had to go to night classes, he
can't climb up in society until he has learned enough to take
his place in a higher society. It is quite the same in the astral
worlds; there are many, many astral worlds, each one suit-
able for a particular type of person. Here in this world
which is in the low-astral of a fourth dimension you will
have to learn about metaphysics, you will have to learn
how to think so that you may get clothing, food, and any-
thing else you need. You need yet to go to the Hall of
Memories where you will see all that you have done in your
past life, and you will judge yourself. And I may say that
no one judges one more harshly than one's Overself. The
Overself can be likened to the soul. Briefly, there are about
nine  dimensions available in this particular sphere of
activity. When one has finally reached embodiment in the
ninth body or Overself then one is prepared to go up to
higher realms and learn higher things. People, entities, are
always striving to climb upwards like plants striving to reach
toward the light.
 This is a low-astral world where you will have many
lessons to learn. You will have to go to school and learn
many facts of life on Earth, many facts of life in the astral.
Then later you will decide what type of lessons you have to
learn. When all that has been decided upon you will be able
to return to the Earth to suitable parents and it is hoped
that this time you will have more opportunities to climb
upwards and to get a better status on the Earth, a better
soul status, that is, not just one's class on the Earth. It is
hoped that in the next life you will learn a lot so that when
you leave the Earth body again you will not come to this,
low stage but you will move upwards perhaps two, perhaps
86
three  planes above this one.
 The higher you climb in the astral planes the more
interesting your experiences and the less suffering you can
endure, but you have to approach things like that carefully,
gently, and slowly. For example, if you were suddenly put
upon an astral world two or three stages above this you
would be blinded by the intensity of the emanations from
the Guardians of that world, so the sooner you learn that
which you have to learn the sooner you can go back to
Earth and prepare for a higher stage.
 Let us say that a very, very good man indeed leaves the
Earth, the three dimensional Earth from which you have so
recently arrived. If the man is truly spiritual he could go up
two or three stages, and then he would not find harsh
treatment such as that which you get on this plane, he would
not find that he had to imagine food to eat. His body essence
would absorb all the energy it needed from the surroundings.
You could do that as well but you are uneducated in such
things, you cannot understand much about spirituality as
witness the admitted fact that until now you have not
believed in life after death. Upon this plane, this plane
where you now reside, there are many, many people who
did not believe there is life after death: they are here to learn
that there is!
 In later incarnations you will strive up and up so that
each time you die to the Earth world and are reborn to an
astral world, you will climb to a higher plane and will have
greater and greater time between incarnations. For instance, [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
