The Deceased speak out. Dieter Scharnhorst

order rules over this diversity of animals. To explain this in more detail would lead too far, and it is also not my task.

      Now the angels asked Melissa to leave with them, although she would have liked to stay longer in the animal kingdom. Also this time she was told

      "You can return here later without further ado and stay in this animal kingdom at will until you have seen everything. You can then stay as long as you like, but before that we have another part of heaven to show you.

      Again it went like a flash. It happened so fast that our sister was not even able to notice the changes. It just seemed as if she was flying through blooming landscapes. Thus one entered a new level. But this time it was a colourful city. House followed house, but each one showed a different appearance. In spite of this difference, everything fitted together harmoniously. Also here our sister had everything only to admire.

      "In every house there is something very special to experience", the angels said to her. In a way, this city is a museum. You can go from one house to another as you please, and you can see what you are interested in."

      Our sister was just amazed and said:

      "Yes, then I must stay here for all eternity before I can enter all that you have shown me. It seems impossible for me to be interested in everything, because it is too big and huge... "

      This was admitted to her, it was indeed the case. But you have certain tendencies in you and these will develop in you after a certain period of existence. Then you will devote yourself to one or the other. We only wanted to give you an idea of the variety of the heavenly world, into which you shall gain insight. Afterwards you will have enough time to go from one heaven to another and to experience what you enjoy. "

      In this way the sister was to be rewarded for her life on earth, for heaven rejoiced in her work and her return home. The reward for her work was that she was allowed to experience the divine world in the way I describe it to you.

      The accompanying angels now led her into a certain house, since it was clear to them, too, that it would be impossible to lead her into every house and give her the necessary explanations. So they showed her an excerpt.

      "Here you see paintings', said the angels, 'paintings that depict people who lived on earth and whose life on earth was of special importance for the spiritual world. Here, for example, you see the first person who has a painting showing how he lived. Here are all people depicted who have done meaningful things for the spiritual world, from the beginning of mankind on earth. Of course, this is only an excerpt to give you a first insight. "

      Again, our sister was extremely captivated, everything was so exciting and interesting, and that is why she wanted to have a closer look at this one. She asked question after question, and the angels gave her the answer. For here everything was at the same time interwoven with the spiritual teaching. Our sister only had to marvel and be amazed, she still wanted to see more, so that the spirits of God had to say to her again, that she could later contemplate this for herself in all leisure, she could return here again, but now she was to be led into yet another level.

      Melissa, who already felt overjoyed about all that she had experienced so far, agreed, and a new heaven opened up for her. Here she was in a small town, but very different from the one she had just visited. She thought that here she would experience the highest heaven. She saw houses of indescribable beauty, in between very tall trees and here and there animals in wonderful gardens. On this plain everything was of never experienced diversity for her. The angels invited her to enter an open hall with them, which had columns of white marble on all sides, through which one could pass. I cannot describe the roof that extended over this portico in its beauty and in the preciousness of the spiritual building materials used for it. In the hall there was a laid table with precious vessels and flower decorations. In front of each vessel there was a chair, actually these chairs looked like thrones, one as magnificent as the other. The hall was still empty. Our sister was to enter it first, only then would the guests arrive. The angels accompanying her asked our sister to take her assigned place. At the same moment the invited guests appeared from all sides. They stood beside or behind the throne seat and congratulated our sister on her return home. First a leading angel spoke, and then each spirit being took the floor and greeted and congratulated the returnee. After that, everyone sat down and drank of the exquisite drink that was served. Blessedly our sister took in this experience. These high beings around her were so wonderfully clothed that she thought she had God's highest angel before her in each of them. But they said to her:

      "It is not yet time for you to face the supreme Prince of Heaven. It will take some time."

      But now our sister had already gained an inkling of the indescribable glory of heaven, and she admired each of the divine beings who sat at table with her. Of course she had to leave again, but before she did, she asked to be allowed to speak with each and every one of these angels of God. But they made her understand that they had all their tasks, so they could not stay. But she would again have the opportunity to enter this heaven and so they would be together again. In the meantime she was advised to let the spirits of God inform her in detail about everything she had experienced so far. It must be understandable to her that until she will have experienced and tasted everything to the very last, an incalculably long time will pass.
