7.Case study

      Again and again you ask yourself what heaven looks like, and you cannot imagine that our previous loved ones lived there. Our animals also have their place there, and you can be happy to see them again. In the following case study, which was transmitted by the media, it is described how big and wonderful the sky is. As Christ said, "In my Father's house there are many dwellings.

      Spirit of God: In this case study I tell you about Melissa, who had devoted her whole life to the service of her fellow men, and she was a person full of kindness of heart, truly just and pious.

      When her hour of death had come from this world, spirits of God picked her up from her deathbed and took her to a spiritually higher plane, to a park. In this park all the trees and bushes bloomed in an unparalleled blaze of colour. A wonderfully pleasant light covered everything, and the ground was a single velvet carpet of beautiful green moss. Melissa was laid on a bed and advised to rest for a while. She was so enchanted and enthusiastic about this environment that she did not want to think about resting, but wanted to take a closer look at everything first. It was pointed out to her that she had left her earthly life behind and was now allowed to enter a glory in the spiritual kingdom as reward because she had sacrificed her earth life to fellow men. Our sister heard music and singing and eagerly looked around. She saw many other spirit beings who felt as happy in this place as she herself. Then an angelic being approached her with a colourful cloak that he put over her shoulders. The sister was grateful that it was better this way, for in this beautiful, colourful environment she had felt poorly dressed at first and thought that she did not really fit in here. Now, when she got this coat put on, it was quite different and she was happy about it. Now she was led through this area, and Melissa was met by happy spirits in groups, standing together and chatting, who greeted her lively and joyful. They recognized that angels of God were accompanying this sister, and so they wanted to greet and please her accordingly. Our sister looked at the park with curiosity at what there was to see. It was not only the flowers and the blossoming trees that delighted her, but there were also various animals running around, which she would have liked to go to. But the angels behaved as if they were in a hurry to show her other, other things. So they went deeper into this park, and on the wondrous moss-carpet stood a group of spirit beings, dressed similarly to themselves, who were engrossed in a game. It consisted of figures being pushed back and forth on the moss, much like your game of chess. But the appearance of the pieces and the way they were played differed somewhat from your game on earth. But the spirit beings involved seemed to be very absorbed in their game, for it was obviously very exciting for them, and they also consulted among themselves. But although they were so engrossed in the game, they noticed the approaching angels with the sister who had come home, and they all greeted them warmly.

      Our sister showed full interest in this game and wanted to know immediately how it was played, but the angels accompanying her said:

      "You'll have plenty of time for that later, so you can play the game yourself and have a good look at the surroundings. But now we want to present you a

      another piece of heaven. You can come back here later and have enough time and opportunity to enjoy this heavenly world for as long as you like. This right is yours. You can then, if you want, sing along, make music, play along as you please. "But now, come on, let's get on with it."

      The angels escaped with our sister from this plane into another sphere. Everything happened so quickly that the sister could not really notice how the new sphere differed from the previous one. She was enchanted by the sight she saw. Here too everything was colourful and it seemed to her that all trees were in bloom. Nevertheless, the new level was somewhat different in its appearance, for it was an animal paradise.

      Our sister saw many animals which also exist on earth, such as those which are kept in zoological gardens, but beyond that many more animals which no longer exist on earth and which can live here in the spiritual world for a while. In order not to make you feel insecure, and not to let unnecessary thoughts or questions arise in you, I would just like to point out: if the existence of these animals, which died out on earth, is also limited in the spiritual world, this only means that their development in this stage of the animal kingdom has just ended. From here they are transferred to another stage and then continue their existence in a different outer appearance.

      Since our sister had loved animals so much during her life on earth, it was a correspondingly great joy and surprise for her to now get to know the spiritual animal kingdom. She had the feeling that this was the right thing for animals, for they were much more beautiful than on earth and more noble in form. To her amazement she also discovered that all animals here, which are known and feared on earth for their savagery, were completely tame. One could caress their wonderfully shiny fur without worrying, and the animals enjoyed themselves comfortably. This may seem strange to people who are not yet familiar with the spiritual world and its laws, but I think it would be a pity to refrain from such messages for the sole reason that there may be some people among the readers who doubt it. I only wish them that they were given the opportunity to experience similar things themselves after their return to the afterworld and so receive confirmation of the truth of my words. The question is only whether they will actually be given the opportunity to experience it in this way. For one can also be led into a spiritual animal kingdom, where one must not get close to the animals living there. As in all cases, it is always a question of the attained spiritual level. This divine animal kingdom of which I speak is on an elevated spiritual level and is intended not least of all for the joy and happiness of the returning spirit brothers and sisters. It is very large, but I cannot give you any measurements or further explanations. Perhaps I can do so on another occasion, for so much could be said about it in detail.

      But in this hour it is of no importance to mention all details because I still want to give you a picture of that other world into which those souls of men are allowed to enter who have earned true happiness through their exemplary earth life.

      That world is not as it is sometimes described in the church teaching of men, as if there is only constant singing, praying and calling of Hallelujah. No, heaven does not look like that, and one could not call it glory, if it were so constituted. Glorious and splendid can only be something that delights the beholder, and if what he sees is also constantly redesigned. No one wants to experience the same thing forever. So the divine world in its splendor and variety must be constantly reshaped, only in this way can one speak of rapture, of surprise, of heavenly glory. Out of this infinite world and variety, one should recognize as the Creator the all kind and merciful Father, who has all these glories formed through His messengers and who is so concerned to make His own happy. This happiness happens in the way I have described it to you. I am well aware that it is difficult for some to understand this. But this only in passing.

      We return to our sister, who now in the company of divine brothers and sisters got to know a part of the spiritual animal kingdom. They had to explain so many things to her, for in her human life she had no idea of these heavenly forms and shapes. Now, as a reward for her righteous life on earth, she was to be allowed to experience the beauties of the world of God. In between she was given ample opportunity to learn about the meaning and purpose of life on earth and to be initiated into God's plan of salvation and creation. And so our sister now admired this great animal kingdom. However, the animals there are not simply left to themselves, but are under the care of the spirits of God, who can be called guardians or stewards. Animals of the same kind and species always live together like families, but they can all move
