NOW YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT THE SPIRITUAL WORLD.
SOME OF YOU WHO HEAR THESE WORDS, DO ALREADY LIVE ONLY IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD.
OTHERS, WHO ALSO LIVE IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD, LIVE AT THE SAME TIME IN AN
OTHER WORLD. THAT OTHER WORLD IS CALLED PHYSICAL WORLD.
THOSE WHO LIVE ALSO IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD ARE ALL LIVING ON EARTH.
TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE SPIRITUAL WORLD, IT IS GOOD TO KNOW ABOUT THE EARTH.
THE EARTH IS A FUNNY PLACE.
ON EARTH ALL PEOPLE HAVE TWO BODIES.
IS THAT NOT FUNNY?
ONE PERSON, TWO BODIES.
HOW MUST YOU IMAGINE THIS?
DO THE TWO BODIES WALK NEXT TO EACH OTHER?
DO THE TWO BODIES WALK BEHIND EACH OTHER, ONE IN FRONT, ONE IN THE BACK?
SUPPOSE ONE BODY WANTS TO WALK, BUT THE OTHER BODY WANTS TO SLEEP?
THIS PERSON HAS BIG TROUBLE.
SOME PEOPLE ON EARTH HAVE THIS TROUBLE.
THEIR PHYSICAL BODY WANTS TO SLEEP, THEIR SPIRITUAL BODY WANTS TO WALK.
SUCH PEOPLE ARE CALLED LAZY SLEEPYHEADS.
THE SPIRITUAL WORLD IS THE WORLD WHERE PEOPLE HAVE ONLY ONE BODY.
THIS BODY IS CALLED THE SPIRIT BODY.
IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD, LIFE IS EASIER THAN ON EARTH IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD.
DO YOU KNOW WHY PEOPLE STILL LIVE ON EARTH, WITH TWO BODIES?
THIS IS BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL YOUNG.
THEY CANNOT YET WALK WITH ONE BODY ONLY.
THEY STILL NEED TWO BODIES.
ONE BODY, THE PHYSICAL BODY, IS FOR THEM TO LEARN MANY THINGS.
WHATEVER THE PHYSICAL BODY DOES, ON EARTH, THE SPIRIT BODY MUST ALSO DO.
THEREFORE, ALL ACTIONS OF THE PHYSICAL BODY ARE LIKE WRITTEN INTO THE SPIRIT BODY.
THE SPIRIT BODY OF A PERSON ON EARTH WRITES DOWN ALL WHAT THE PHYSICAL BODY DOES.
IF THE PHYSICAL BODY IS THAT OF A LAZY SLEEPYHEAD, THEN THE SPIRIT BODY ALSO BECOMES A LAZY SLEEPYHEAD.
BUT IF THE PHYSICAL BODY IS DOING GOOD THINGS, WHAT GOD LIKES, THEN THE PERSON’S BODY BECOMES HOLY.
BOTH THE PHYSICAL BODY AND THE SPIRIT BODY BECOME HOLY.
HOLY MEANS THAT YOUR WHOLE BODY BELONGS TO GOD ONLY.
MANY PEOPLE ON EARTH ARE VERY STUPID AND EVIL.
THEY DO NOT DO GOOD THINGS.
THEY LIVE FOR THEMSELVES ONLY.
THEY DO NOT LOVE GOD.
THEY DO NOT LOVE OTHER PEOPLE.
SUCH EVIL PEOPLE GET EVIL SPIRIT BODIES.
SUCH PEOPLE GET VERY BAD SPIRIT BODIES.
THEY CAN DO NOTHING GOOD WITH THEIR SPIRIT BODIES.
THE SPIRITUAL WORLD IS THE WORLD OF THE PEOPLE WITH ONLY ONE BODY.
ON EARTH YOU MUST LEARN TO MAKE ONE BODY OUT OF THE TWO BODIES.
THEN, IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD, YOU HAVE ONE GOOD AND HOLY SPIRIT BODY.
THE SPIRITUAL WORLD IS THE WORLD THAT GOD MADE FOR YOU TO DO GOOD.
WHEN YOU WANT TO DO GOOD, WHEN YOU WANT TO DO GOD’S WILL, THEN YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU CAN IMAGINE.
THEN YOU CAN CREATE LIKE GOD HIMSELF.
THEN YOU HAVE BECOME TRULY AND WHOLLY GOD’S CHILD.
