The next thing I know, was that I felt I was becoming conscious again. It was as if someone woke me up. I felt that clearly. From the depth of the spiritual life I returned to reality. A holy feeling flowed through me. Inside I felt my heart beat, but in a far-off way.

I heard a soft voice say: ‘Lantos! Lantos!’

‘Lantos’, I thought, ‘Lantos?’

Closer and closer came that voice. What did Lantos mean? Who was Lantos? I felt myself regain consciousness, and then I understood the meaning of the word Lantos.

‘Lantos’, I heard again and knew that I was being called. It was as if God Himself talked to me. ‘Can you hear me?’

I wanted to make a sound, but could not.

‘You can only feel’, came back to me.

I understood what was meant and sent my feelings upwards. My feelings were received, for I heard anew: ‘Lantos, do you hear me?’

‘Yes’, I sent back. ‘I hear you; where am I?’

‘You live on earth, but in the womb of a mother. However not for very long anymore, then you will die.’

‘You live inside the mother’, I heard once again. ‘You are now awake, and it were the higher masters who awoke you. Can you hear me? Answer me then.’

‘I hear you, but from far, very far away.’

‘Do you feel who is talking to you?’

‘I feel you, is it you, master Emschor?’

‘Yes, my brother, it is I. Sleep now, Lantos, in a short while you will return to the spheres.’

After that I sank back into that spiritual depth. When I woke up, I was lying on my resting couch in my own home. Beside me stood my leader, Emschor.

‘My brother Lantos, do you remember anything?’

‘What do you mean?’ I asked. ‘I do not remember anything. I know only that you took me to the world of the unconscious, that I heard you talk and bid me farewell.’

‘You don’t feel anything else?’

‘No, nothing, I am not aware of anything else.’

‘Not even that you were on earth and have died there?’

‘No, of that I feel nothing.’

‘Then listen well. You died on earth, at the age of nearly nine months you passed over. Just before you were to be born, you died. Your father and mother are in a state of grief and shock, and shed bitter tears because you left them.’

‘What wonder are you telling me?’

‘Do you feel the silence of the spirit in you?’

‘I feel a different silence then I did before, master.’

‘That silence belongs to your mother, that enormous process that you just have explored. You still have not completely re-adjusted to this life, in other words: You have not yet accepted your former situation, from before our descent to the world of the unconscious. Presently you will fall asleep again, and sleep for a long time, after which you wake up again. Only after that you will feel as you did then, before you were connected. I woke you up, and now I shall withdraw my concentration, so that you will fall asleep. Sleep now, my brother, this miracle you have been allowed to experience.’

Then I was not aware of anything anymore.

Again I woke up and felt as at the time of my entrance, waking up from my first sleep. I knew where I was and looked at Marianne. How great is God, were my thoughts. Silence and love were in me, a quite peace. I thought of my own life and then of Emschor. At the same instant he came in.

‘My brother Lantos, how do you feel?’

‘Great’, I said.

‘There is much I have to explain to you and then we shall return to earth, and you will see your father and mother, your sisters and brothers.’

‘My sisters and brothers, father and mother?’ I echoed.

‘Yes, don’t you know what we talked about?’

‘Yes, I do, but I remember nothing. I know that I slept for a time, nothing more. Do I have to accept that?’

‘Eighty years, according to the count of time on earth, have gone by.’

‘What?’

‘Eighty years, and that is only a short time, for most stay hundreds of years in that world, before they are attracted back to earth.’

I could not utter a word, and finally stammered: ‘Do you really mean that?’

‘How can you ask me a question like that? However, we know that nobody can believe it, but I will show you that it is true. So, accept that you did return to earth.’

What a miracle had happened! I had been told about it beforehand, but still I could not believe it.

I asked the master: ‘How does it work? When is the soul being attracted, and how does the connection come into being? Do you know how a person is born on earth?’

‘Listen. When the father or the mother are beginning to think of this event, they already are in a cosmic attunement. This event thus is a cosmic wonder, a power that reinforces this connection in which both beings are taken up. At he same instant that the father or the mother focusses on it, the life, the soul, is attracted. The process itself makes a beginning when the embryo takes shape, and as it grows life becomes conscious. Direct consciousness comes to the embryo between the third and fourth month. The parents are on the moment of conception in contact with the universe, thus this world; and such a connection can only be broken by brute force, and that is a spiritual murder.

The life that is thrown back into this world in this manner is being damned, and that will have to be made good by the parents or the human being. The human being, spirit or soul, who grows up in that young body, is as you know not aware of anything. When the material body was born on earth, you yourself were already under way to the spheres. In a short time, and sleeping, you returned to you former state and this is only for those who must experience this process of becoming conscious.

If you had really been born on earth, and died there later, then you would have had to do the growing-up on this side, although it takes less time here than on earth. The spiritual growth is in accord with and attunes to the inner forces a person possesses. A higher attuned spirit returning to earth would have taken on his former state already by the time he arrived at his attunement. Is that clear to you?’

‘Yes’, I said, ‘but it is so miraculous.’

‘We’ll return to earth, where I shall clarify everything. With help from the masters was I allowed to connect you with the past, but this time it will be with your birth and death on earth, and the return to this world. Only then will you be convinced when you experience this yourself. Are you ready?’

‘Yes, master, I’ll follow you.’

Floating along we returned to earth. What an extraordinary problem. I had been born on earth, but returned to this world before my actual birth. Wondrous forces of the spirit. Soon we reached earth. When I concentrated. I saw and felt that we were in the Orient. The dress of the people told me where I was. China, I said to myself, thus we were on an other continent. When I asked my leader whether I had attuned in properly, he answered in the affirmative.

I sensed that master Emschor used constant concentration, and I knew that he was connected with higher powers. I followed him in all silence and observed. An enormous problem was going to be solved for me. If people could accept this, they would know where and how they got all their character traits. Art and all those other traits had been acquired in an other life. Language and country had nothing to do with this power. Life returned and would be born on earth. It was profound. If I would be born here, I would not remember anything of my former lives, but deep, very deep down within me, there it lay. I felt and could oversee it all.

We now walked through the streets of a city and again I saw the astral person and knew his desires. We came to a street and entered a small comfortable home. Before me I saw earth people, man, woman and children, and I felt that they were lost in prayer. Here I felt the silence.

‘Your parents, sisters and brothers’, said master Emschor to me.

‘Feel please, that it is she who carried you all these months and with whom you were connected.’

At the moment that I prepared my concentration I felt the connection with my mother. In me came motherly love, I clearly felt these feelings. For me this was a holy moment. Still, all those people were strangers to me, but something held me captive. It was the love they all felt for the being that had been stillborn. They sent pure thoughts of meeting again and joining to me. They were convinced that I was alive.

I now felt myself sink down deeper and deeper. The earth dropped away beneath me, and the stillness that came in me was wonderous. Still I kept my consciousness. This time I was attracted to my mother, and also felt connected with her. I observed myself inside my mother’s womb. Oh, my God, how amazing is all this. I could, however, only feel, but yet I understood that. When I saw this, I heard my leader, through the language of feeling, that came up in me, say: ‘You are one with your mother, Lantos, I am sending my feelings to you now in order to explain this process. Here you see what once was, you are connected with the past. Is that understood?’

Back to my leader I sent: ‘Yes master, I fully comprehend.’

‘You can see, Lantos, that the embryo is taking on form. You are already living in this earthly body and yet it is only embryonic. It will grow bigger, and in the growing foetus life becomes aware and reaches total consciousness between the third and fourth months. This I already told you about. The life then, that lives in the material body, is the soul, and that soul, the human person, has lived through different stages of development.

During the pregnancy, the mother lives in a raised spiritual attunement, because of the being she carries. The soul or that life must now follow a process to perfect the growth, and then it waits for birth. One day before that birth you closed off your own life. Within you lay that power, it had been laid down cosmically, a law thus, to which no man can change anything. This has nothing to do with the physical happening. The soul, or that life, must return to the spheres. When you now tune in on this occurrence you will feel it clearly. The power of the soul or that life manifests itself in a rotating motion, closing off its life and returning to its true attunement.

Millions of beings return in this way and have experienced becoming conscious within the material life. I told you once already that this belongs with the cycle of the soul, it is the saying goodbye to the third degree of cosmic life. You returned, but others will be born there. We here know of this, and a person returns there for a set purpose, either to learn, or to bring something of beauty to the earth, which is laid down cosmically.

On earth it is thought that a physical disturbance took place when a child is stillborn. That, however, is not true, for that life had to and must return.

Here you were born, these are your mother and father, your brothers and sisters. I am sure that you feel now, that we all are sisters and brothers, and that this being father and mother in spiritual life cannot possibly exist, for the father- and mother love changes into the universal love. I shall now let you return and then explain further workings and events.’

I felt myself coming back into my conscious life; this process went slowly and I felt the mighty concentration that was in me, that I would not be born on earth. Next I observed how I closed off my life. A remarkable and exalted happening. When I came to again I was holding my leader’s hand in mine. I understood why he did this. From his feeling to my feeling I saw this wonder unfolding and what, through the higher powers, he observed, I felt as it went over into me. A process had taken place of which man on earth neither knew, nor understood anything, and would not believe it. In the life after death lay the secret, and this secret was known and felt by the cosmic awakened ones, the mentors, whom I had been allowed to watch.

Once again I was being connected with my leader.

‘Observe’, he said, ‘this time, however, you will experience the return and the awakening in spirit.’

I saw my mother clearly, and that I was inside of her. I now followed the action of the young life. Next I noticed that it turned over a few times and ended its life. The tiny young body within the mother suffocated and the feelings it had now returned to me. I felt what I was doing, one urge, one power drove me to do it, and I acted accordingly.

After that I saw that the life inside started to free itself, and from my mother’s body I saw a young spiritual being free itself. At this same moment I noticed some spiritual beings and among them my leader. I now understood. When the spiritual body had completely freed itself, the spiritual cord snapped and miraculously dissolved. The young life had died on earth, but was born in spirit. The beings who carried me to the spheres were followed by my own leader. From the moment we left the earth I saw the young spirit begin to grow up. Further and further went this growing process. Around the being lay a dense haze, and inside it lay in a deep sleep. We approached the spheres of light and went into the second sphere. On my own restbed I was laid down. I saw it all happen. Slowly I returned to my former state. How normal and natural was this occurrence, this miracle of God. I noticed the dense haze dissolved and my spiritual body grew larger.

Afterwards I prayed in silence, and profoundly thanked my Almighty Father for granting me this holy experience. Miraculous was this growing process. Soon I experienced my own awakening in the spheres. I still had not returned into my own life. I watched it all happen. Now the end was near and with the end came my awakening in the spirit. It was at the moment when my leader spoke to me. All this I knew. Again I saw myself drop off to sleep, and after a time wake up again, and then I was like born anew.

A mighty problem I had learned and experienced, of how a person is born on earth and again returned to the world of the spirit. This is cosmic knowledge and sacred. It is God’s holy Guidance and Allpower that governs all this. I sank down and I thanked God once again for everything.

When my prayer was finished I glanced up at my leader and thanked him too for this event.

‘Oh, if only the people would want to believe this’, I said.

‘It is possible, Lantos, and it gives them support, for they will view their lives differently than before. They will not grieve anymore when a young life leaves. All is God’s will.

Listen further, Lantos. Now that you have experienced all this, it will be clear to you that the human being, or soul, will be attracted from the world of the unconscious and return to earth for one or other task. Between that world and the earth, that attunement, lies and lives God’s holy Power. That might and power are laws about which even the masters know nothing. In it resides the secret of what the soul will experience and receive in that earth life. From there it comes to earth, where God’s laws will take effect, which determine where the soul shall live. You have lived in China, in your former life in the West, before that in Egypt and in many other parts of the world, and neither spirit nor man knows anything about that.

Before the soul enters that world of the unconscious, the masters then can connect themselves with that life, and with concentration tune in on earth, so they are able to follow that life. If the soul must possess wealth, then no man can change anything about that. He will be born on earth in that situation. The depth of all those problems can only be assessed from the fourth cosmic degree. However, no being living on that planet – and you know this already – has contact with the earth, because they know these are God’s laws, which they will always honour.

Will the soul have to make amends on earth, then this will happen. Will it be destined to die at five, ten, or a later age, that too is irrevocable and will happen. No being on earth possesses this concentration, not even one who is cognizant of all these laws and events, that attract the higher spiritual being to him. These are God’s laws, no soul or spirit, advanced as he may be, knows anything about that or can make changes.

To good and spiritual parents comes an animal-like being in the material organism. This can clearly be observed in the life on earth. People pray and ask God to shower the child that will be born to them with spiritual gifts. But nothing can be changed in it by praying. If it happens, it is a law. The depth of this mighty process is known only to God, and is a Holy law which is the Allpower. Wherever the soul finds itself, it all serves to acquire spiritual love, by living the material life. The human being will again and again come back, until he innerly carries and knows the third cosmic degree and then his cycle of the earth is at an end.

In this life the soul continues, all those higher spheres are familiar to you. You know too, that when a person enters the deepest darkness on this side, he has the ability to work himself up to reach the highest spheres. Your own life is the example of that.

However, from the highest spheres it will still be possible to return to earth and fulfil a mission there. In the sphere of the suicides I let you feel this, it was at that instant that both possibilities came to awareness in you. The one possibility is a law, the other a grant, a mission, a task. A mentor like Cesarino can go back to earth and relive becoming conscious, as well as grow up to the desired age over there, if the soul remains in harmony with the laws of nature. In a flash that soul – thus that high-attuned being – can go back and rejoin his own sphere of his previous spiritual attunement. Thus the higher a person advances, the more rapid this process works, but it all depends on the inner, which is the love-power, that being possesses.

The spirit, or the soul, who enters the world of the unconscious – and you have experienced this event – falls into a deep attunement and regresses to a spark of light, of life, growing smaller and smaller, just like your own garment, your spiritual body, that you watched growing up. From this side, it then descends in that inexplicable situation, and from the time of the physical union – the conception – soul and body together grow up naturally and in this way a person is born on earth. The wonder of gender determination is also a cosmic law, only known to God, and which the soul experiences. It is not possible to determine the gender beforehand on earth. But we know – what I am going to tell you now is the most unbelievable facet of this mighty and holy process – the soul will be born there in both bodies. When a mother bears more than one child, then this is a situation that has to do only with the physical organs. As soon as a conception takes place, life from this side descends into the matter and the embryo attracts the life, because it was achieved by a human.

This holds true for animal and human. But the human being is tuned to the higher, and perfect divine being. The animal, however, belongs to its own attunement of animal life, although the working and the impregnation, the descending of life and the taking possession of the material body, are one and the same working. But all that life is God’s holy Life.

The soul thus uses both bodies. Do you feel the deep significance of this wonder? It will then become clear to you that the soul will represent the male body in one life, and the female body in another. The depth of this mighty and holy problem cannot be fathomed. But the masters know it, and all of us who can connect ourselves with the people on earth, feel and see that it is the truth. Mother love is that mighty force, God’s holy Creation, through which the soul can enter a higher stage of the spirit, and make that its own possession. Everything the soul experiences on earth serves to bring it out of the animal-like and the coarse-material stage to enter the spiritual world.

When someone on earth asks himself: ‘Where do I get all these character traits?’ then that life has acquired those traits in former lives, and the purpose of it all is to awaken in spirit. We know that we must acquire everything through experience and learning, and that we must also accept that all these faculties of character cannot be achieved in but one short, earthly life. The soul needs thousands of years for that. And what are thousand years on this side?

God has given this mercy, whereby the soul can make good what in an other life was destroyed, to all His children and to all other life. It is God, Who allows a human on earth this mercy to continue his unfinished work on this side. Always again is it our Holy Father Who guides us children and shows what is best for us.

It is God Who provides the soul with the mercy to experience motherhood, so that it can master those love, this most holy of God’s creation. That then is the life on earth, my Lantos, and the cycle of the soul is the material, the spiritual and the cosmic life. Is everything I have told you clear, my brother Lantos?’

Then I took both hands of my leader and said: ‘I understand you completely, master, I could not feel otherwise. To experience all this makes one a believer.’

Thank you, then we shall go on.’
