‘I will now connect myself with the masters. You know that you can see and observe through me. When this contact is established and then I connect myself with you, then you will see what I see, hear and feel.’

The master seated himself beside me and took my right hand in his. At the same instant I felt a powerful current surge through me. Then I felt myself being lifted up and connected into another sphere. What came to me now was extraordinary. The second sphere lay far distant from me.

‘Get yourself ready’, I heard it said inside of me, ‘you are going to observe.’

Suddenly a glorious land appeared before me. The people there were different, nature more lovely, and temples and buildings were incomparable to those in my sphere. Where was I? The peace that came to me was the silence of an attunement that was not mine.

‘Can you follow everything?’ I heard in me again.

‘Yes’, I said, ‘I see everything clear before me.’

‘This is the third sphere, but we shall continue.’

Everything faded away and I saw an other picture. Here everything was different again. The first thing I noticed was the purplish glow that descended from the All. More still, more beautiful and grand was everything I saw. The human being shone like a sun. What joy was still in store for me. It was unbelievable, but yet it was taking place right in front of me, I was connected with it. On earth I had been connected with my past, here with my future. I saw an enormous vista with a silky glow pervading everything, that was the radiation of the life that lived here.

‘The fourth sphere’, I heard the master say, ‘this is Summerland and the first true, happy spiritual sphere. There the human being has laid off his earthly feelings. Only there has he entered the true life of the spirit. There he will feel born anew. This feeling a person has already in the first sphere, but it grows stronger and more conscious, yes mightier, until he enters there.’

Once more we continued and this picture faded to make place for another. Comparisons I could not make any more, for what I saw now was indescribable, so grand and exalted was this view.

‘This is my sphere’, said the master, ‘but let us go on.’

This scene also faded and next I saw the sixth sphere. The sky was silvery, with a golden sheen over all. I was overwhelmed and did not know whether I was awake or dreaming. It was awe-inspiring!

‘Did you see that sphere?’

‘Yes’, I said, ‘it was very clear. Where are you taking me now?’

‘To the mental regions.’

The seventh sphere came next. I heard the singing of birds, I saw flowers and people. Everything exuded an air of joy, pure, heavenly joy. Ah, I thought, when shall I ever get there? How far distant was I from that sphere! There were temples, such as only a heavenly building could be. What I watched was incredibly mighty. The people I saw must be like God Himself. Were they Gods?

I heard: ‘No, Lantos, do not forget that this still is the third degree in our cosmic attunement. These are not gods, but people like you and me, but in a raised degree, which is the seventh sphere. This is the end of the third cosmic degree.

After this come the mental regions. Anyone entering there will merge with that sphere. The soul will shed the body of the spirit and continues on. It is like dying on earth, it is entering the non-consciousness where the soul will wait to be attracted anew, just like the human is born on earth. This I explained to you in the darkness, where I connected you with the world of the unconscious. There you spoke with your friend Roni. Your friend Roni was not aware of anything, but the masters awakened him. The soul who goes over into the mental regions falls in a deep sleep, and so this world too is a transition sphere, which lies between the third and fourth cosmic attunement.

The being born, as I said before, happens like on earth, through one law, one power, one possibility and is a cosmic happening. In this manner a person moves along always further, always higher and higher until he reaches the last and highest mentality, the seventh cosmic attunement, where the Master lives, the perfect child of God, whom we know as Christ.

Life on that fourth cosmic degree is different from earth. When you see the seventh sphere before you, you think you are seeing gods. What then will the people be who live on that fourth cosmic degree? It is hard for us to have an idea about that, but still the masters from the seventh sphere know what life there is like. One does not kill there, brother Lantos, there one loves everything, everything that lives. There a person is a cosmic being and he knows it! There they feel the sister- and brother love, they are children in spirit, one in everything. On that fourth degree people grow to be hundreds of years old and live in happiness and peace. Their physical condition differs from the one a human being on earth has. It is there that the destination of the animal changes, and a human being will no longer molest the animal, because all those earthly abuses have been resolved. There a person is in harmony with infinity and knows our Father, Who guides and rules everything. They who live there use their knowledge and skills for the happiness of mankind.

On earth the age of technical marvels [ This was written in 1939! ] is approaching, but mankind will not understand those wonders received from this side. But on the fourth cosmic degree all those wonders are understood and those wonders will serve the human being.

On earth attempts will be made to contact them, but yet they can not receive that connection, because they do not understand their own lives. They will not accept that man can go further and higher. They close themselves to the higher attuned being, and will remain as they are. Thousands of years will pass before they will be that far advanced.

The people who have reached this fourth cosmic attunement can find connection with each other at very great distances. They attune themselves to each other and merge with their lives. In the same way I can give you these pictures and the experiences, so too work the spiritual connections everyone possesses over there. Their lives are natural, spiritual and cosmic. It is known there that people live on the planet earth. But earth does not know about them, or cannot ascertain it for certain. However, the human beings over there are trying to arrange a connection with earth, and have come that far, but their signals are not understood on earth.

At a future date savants will be born who can make the connection, but as I mentioned, thousands of years may pass before this connection can be established. The mentality of the humans on earth is the animal-like attunement. How then could an animal receive and feel the transmitted signals and feelings of the higher attuned being? The animal-like-person, who lives on earth, must first lay off all that animal-like behaviour if he wishes to make contact with them.

Everything there lives in an elevated attunement. The social structure is different and everything is more exalted than on earth. The human being too, cannot be compared with the earth human. His handsome figure shines and his feelings are in tune with God’s holy Life, and he possesses a cosmic happiness. What you have experienced on earth is a material happiness, but these people have spiritual happiness. Do you feel what that means? To have spiritual happiness in a material situation? Poverty and want, illness or other miseries are unknown there; every person lives in happiness, all torments of the earth lie far from them.

How beautiful the earth would be if man understood his own life, I need not explain to you. Earth people are not aware and will have to return there till they have mastered those powers.

On the fourth cosmic degree everyone is conscious. The person living there, has lived through the first, second and third cosmic degree, and is preparing to go to the fifth cosmic degree. Yet thousands of years will pass before they can enter there. The masters on this side are thus only connected with those who live on the fourth degree.

You feel that all of us are connected with a mighty chain. In this way it goes higher and higher, and masters are connected with masters. Now, look up high. You see before you the seven masters, or mentors, of the third cosmic degree.’

On the terrace of a magnificent temple I saw and counted seven human figures in beautiful garments. Young and handsome like angels, and as exalted and pure as a human could not possibly imagine.

I heard my leader say: ‘Before you, from left to right, you see first the mentor of the first sphere, mentor Astor. Then of the second sphere, mentor Gloudius. Of the third sphere, mentor Sylvius. Of the fourth sphere, mentor Mirades. Of the fifth sphere, mentor Urabis. Of the sixth sphere, mentor Mondius, and of the seventh sphere, mentor Cesarino. These seven mentors serve the humans who live on earth, and on this side. These high beings will connect me with earth. You see their radiant garments and young looking faces, but yet, all of them are thousands of years old. Mentor Cesarino will, when his task is finished, go to the fourth cosmic degree, and then mentor Mondius will take over his work.

I may show you this vision, for you must know that it is not within my own powers to give you the experience you will shortly have. The cycle of the soul is well known to them and they are cognizant of where a person lives on earth and for what purpose he is there. Only they could connect me with Marianne and your friend Roni. They have the knowledge of whether a person is on earth to make good or whether he returns to fulfil a task. They are the governing body of the third cosmic degree, thus of the earth and all the spheres on this side. From here they work and direct the connection with the earth. The millions of spirits who do work there, are under their direction. Every being bows his head for the love they possess, but still they call themselves children in spirit. They point us to the highest Master Who, as I said already, is Christ. All these high masters will grant me and thousands of others the power to achieve the work that I have been given charge of.

The temple you see there is the Temple of the Soul. This magnificent and mighty building is constructed by the masters of the seventh sphere. Forever it will stand there, through the combined efforts of the human beings who have reached the seventh spiritual attunement.

And now, Lantos, I shall return you to yourself, I’ll withdraw and you will have your own life to yourself.’

I felt myself sinking and waking up. Beside me stood my leader.

‘How is it possible?’ I wondered.

‘You can see, Lantos, how far away we still are from other and higher attunements. Always further and higher man will go. God is Love, and the human being will once enter the Divine Spheres. It is of no use to explain the even higher situations. My only concern was to show you with whom I, and many other leaders, have connection. Another great and different work is waiting for us. I leave you now, and return when you think you are ready.’

With that my leader left me.
