Preface

Dear Reader,
Know thyself - the unsolvable task set by the oracle of Delphi. Many people today are confused; the
Church and state institutions, sects, science and "mediums" are not able to give a satisfying answer to
the question "what is the meaning of life?" We are all searching; some of us try and find completeness
in addiction; others see it in someone else, be it their partner or a social group; the latter more often
than not rigorously hold onto to their mistaken beliefs, making it hard to convince them to go a differ-
ent way. Those who are seeking, think they have found the answers, merely when someone confirms
what they have found as correct. They don't continue to ask themselves "is this right?", or look for an-
other answer to the question, because the process of asking and searching would be uncomfortable. Go-
ing against the current opinion often means dealing with harsh resistance.
We live in a world where information is in plenty and readily available, full of possibilities and sup-
posed chances. The result is chaos making people fall back into their own little worlds. I am going to
show you a different point of view. By taking off the unimportant parts, like peeling an onion, the core
of our existence on this planet can become visible to everyone. Fundamentally speaking, everything
people need to know about this system is already in us. Nature religions, philosophy, psychology
(which should know better), and every church on this planet contain only parts of the truth, alongside a
lot of very confusing information and ancient knowledge.
The best book on how to improve your soul's development is "Ethics for the new Millenium" by Dalai
Lama. I would like to give this book precedence over my theory and would recommend that the book
be read first, to avoid repetition, because in my eyes quoting something said by a competent figure, or
indeed re-interpreting it, is unnecessary. The world view of modern Tibetan Buddhism is the basis
for further contemplation. It offers a clear world view when seen together with my composition and
the views of Jiddu Krishnamurti. The teachings of modern Tibetan Buddhism can offer everyone the
chance to find themselves and also other well-known facts.

The workings of the soul
We, as citizens of this planet, are all part of the nature around us and subject to its boundaries. This can
be seen in our instinctive behaviour. The survival of the fittest can be seen in every social group on this
planet, and as part of the will to survive. Everything else has been described by Marvin Harris in his
book "Our Kind: Who We Are, Where We Came From, Where We Are Going".
However, as human being, we differ from other life forms in four significant ways
• we are aware of things (we have a conscience)
• we have common sense and moral values
• we have an aptitude for art and music
• we have the constant desire to be one with other human beings (the desire for redemption
and the desire to procreate and give souls from older family relationships a life again.)
The last point results in our desire to leave a positive impression on the other souls in our family. By
behaving in a positive way in this life, we hope to remain in their memories and be given life again at a
later date.
The most important difference between humans and other life forms on this planet, however, is that hu-
mans are able to make choices. We can choose our way without any assistance, where we live and,
meanwhile, even our gender. Humans can free themselves from old moral ideas, social and economic
constraints. As humans, we are able to develop ourselves as we wishe, to say, think and do what as we
see fit - at least in western countries. That is our modern society's real achievement and that is why this
is the best society in which we can live. The internet has enabled people to experience and learn about
other people's feelings and thoughts from around the world. Of course there are some groups of society
who do not accept this new freedom and vehemently fight against the thought of it. Although it's prob-
ably only a matter of time before these groups also adapt their way of thinking. In our western world
there are many that are lamed by a fear of this new freedom.
Something seems to have "inspired" people. Therefore many believe in "god" or another external en-
ergy that drives us. Countless essays, philosophies and texts try to create an explanation for this phe-
nomenon. Since psychology has failed to discover an answer, it is time to do away with all the unneces-
sary information blocking our path and to show the real clear picture. The definition of important basic
terms has to be changed.
People have one soul. Everyone's consciousness depends on how developed their soul is. Every soul
has the same goal: they are in search of happiness and want to avoid sorrow.
Liberation - the return to unity is our main motivation and the deity within our being. We are not striv-
ing to liberate the individual itself, but to liberate the soul housed within. The human body is merely a
tool for the soul in its game to attain liberation. The soul gives the human form a conscience and a con-
sciousness of his surroundings, the human form gives the soul the ability to act. Thus the soul can ex-
pand its consciousness, can improve itself and rise towards liberation (becoming one with the source).
This book aims to describe this system in a comprehensive manner and to develop new ways of think-
ing. It is the first conclusive description of the source of our soul for 3,500 years. It will serve to help
those seeking answers, create new ways and concentrate their way of thinking on something new.
It is an unfortunate fact that people first start to comprehend something when it has become tangible.
The main point about values and morals is that they cannot be tried out straight away like a new car or
computer. That is why technology is developing at a rate of knots and our morals and values are behind
the times. However, that should not stop us from always trying to convey our message.
Thanks to the internet, which apparently can reach every corner of the world, and for the "present
souls" in every country (approx. 10% of the population of the world) this vision can be realised, if
people can open their minds.

The human soul
The so called big bang split a large energy form into millions of individual energy forms (souls). Ac-
cording to the law of conservation of energy, all elementary parts are striving for unity with each other.
All parts have the same energetic charge and through that they are attracted to each other and to unity
(Johannes Tauler *1301: "The soul is of godly origin and strives back towards unity").

Every Chinese school of Daoism strive to return to the source, Daoism has many names for this, for ex-
ample, the return to unity, return to the state we were in before heaven and earth were created, or before
the creation of the cosmic embryo.
This is the main problem all souls have. Although every soul has the same way to go to return to unity
(liberation), they have a repellent effect on each other. Osho notices that the human is always alone, no
matter how much he tries to escape his loneliness. We are scared of darkness and prefer to be part of
the masses of fans at a sports or music festival or to find a partner whatever the cost, in order to not be
alone. However, the soul needs to be alone, because only by being alone can the soul find the force of
attraction back to unity. That is an immutable law. Unfortunately, that is where we can find the egotism
that most of the souls have.
The soul can only find redemption when this egotistical behaviour ceases to happen. "You should love
each other, as yourself". This starts to happen when the souls start to love themselves, along with all
their faults. If they can do that, they treat each other with an altruistic love for each other and can serve
humanity (see agape). Interaction with other people is the purpose of life - this is how we find salva-
tion. A soul gives the person consciousness and tries "with him and through him"
• to find a loving attitude to others (share and sympathy)
• to help other souls achieve the ability to act in this realm
• to contribute to the vision of a better life in the future
• to change the opinion of the masses - even against hard resistance
To do that we have to communicate with each other across the world and teach those are in the
dark that means we have to promote the knowledge we've gained. The internet and the media
are there to help us achieving that.
Our presence on this planet together with animals is a means to an end. A soul's proper home is not on
earth, but with the "godly" unity that it once had to leave.
In his work "De Anima", Aristotle wrote, "the activities of the soul are not separate to the material
body". The soul cannot exist alone; it has to have a body, in order to work towards redemption.
In our human perception of time, the way a soul has to go to reach liberation seems endless and barely
tangible. The process a soul takes to develop lasts several 10,000 years. It "lends" its consciousness to a
physical body again and again, always in the hope of finally reaching unity with all souls.

9
The levels of the soul's development are:
1. Unrestricted souls that
a) have yet to give their consciousness human form, or
b) "Souls of the dead", that have not returned to human form by
having been given life by other souls already in human form, or
c) "forgotten souls", that have no chance of being given human form
2. Searching souls (approx. 90% of all souls that have currently given their consciousness human form)
3. Present souls (approx. 10% of all souls that are currently in human form)
4. Liberated souls (99 souls of this kind are given human form on this planet every year)
5. Transferral to the highest power in our soul's universe -> God

In his work "Questio disputa de Anima" in 1268, Thomas of Aquinas first noted the different groups of
souls. "The ontological order of humans is based on the spiritual soul's universal cognitive faculties and
in its immediacy with God".
The human image carries all of the soul's information (see communication). This is the key to under-
standing the Oracle of Delphi ("know thyself"). The legislatorial leaders and powerful people in this
world always want to impede people from recognising the position of their souls in the spiritual order
so that they can secure their own earthly status. By seeing our own souls in a mirror, we can see that,
alongside the current social earthly consensus, there is a spiritual world that is showing us the right way
to go. Recognising that way would mean contradicting many established earthly systems. Therefore
people do not need an earthly leader, but a competent teacher (e.g. the Dalai Lama), who can teach
them to obey the spiritual laws and to follow the right way that leads to spiritual development and to
further humanity as a whole. If the entire of humanity were to develop in a positive way, there would
be more chances for other souls (and in the end for one’s own soul) do develop positively, thus making
a better chance for liberation.
Conclusion: Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) has described how to move the soul from an egotistical to
an altruistic way of thinking. First you have to love yourself (accepting all faults), then observe and fi-
nally share. However, this is not to be taken as simply giving away your possessions (in the way St.
Martin gave away his cloak), but in actively taking part in their development and helping others (cf.
Liberation).
An important goal of Christianity is to place God's son Jesus at "God's right hand", thereby obtaining a
place with the "liberated souls".

Searching souls
Around 90% of all people have a "searching soul". "Searching souls" are primarily egocentric. They do
not know the way. They orient themselves before others and constantly make "priority lists" so that
they can compare themselves and their position. They are not able to search in themselves and often
lose themselves in what is happening around them.
Like children they constantly search for a leader or role model. They constantly attempt to emulate
every kind of trend, idols, parents, colleagues, managers and other apparently successful people (and
also try and do things better than them). To achieve that they swallow every opinion known, discard
them only to use them again at a later date.
"Searching Souls" need constant information and positive recognition that results of information; ran-
ging from neighbourly gossip, talk shows, newspapers and the news on the radio and television to self-
help books and magazines of all kind. Every kind of information is consumed, but not saved, because
the information itself is unimportant for the soul and its development. It is irrelevant if something bad
happened somewhere in the world, or what colour Queen Victoria has dyed her hair or whether the X-
PLC's shares have gone up or down.
"Searching souls" portray the chaos in our world that has always been present. The various views and
opposing views, claims and disclaims change constantly. Fulfilment for the inner spiritual emptiness
that these souls feel is sought in addiction and consumption. It is also a way of escaping reality. Excess-
ive activity leads to false competition and people with "searching souls" are usually overworked. They
hold on tightly to wrong beliefs, manners and ways of thinking. They set wrong standards.
"Searching souls" constantly search for recognition of their momentary knowledge and, for that reason,
often try to give their opinion. They like to discuss, especially in order to see how other people react to
their opinion (need for recognition). They act like little children, who repeat the opinions of adults by
rote. They cling to their earthly life and look for happiness in this world (e.g. in a partnership). They
see obtaining material things (money, social status, partners and children) as maximums and can be-
come philistines or myrmidons of wrong idols. They ignore their "inner morals" for the sake of the
smallest advantage and are therefore capable of anything. They create an oasis of contentment on this
planet, which, however, does not satisfy them for long.
Seneca wrote in 51 A.D.:
But one man is possessed by an avarice that is insatiable, another by a toilsome devotion to tasks
that are useless; one man is besotted with wine, another is paralyzed by sloth; [...] many are kept
busy either in the pursuit of other men's fortune or in complaining of their own; many, following no
fixed aim, shifting and inconstant and dissatisfied, are plunged by their fickleness into plans that are
ever new; some have no fixed principle by which to direct their course, but Fate takes them un-
awares while they loll and yawn..."
Constantly comparing yourself to others creates eternal competition. The stakes are constantly set high-
er, people have to be further, taller, better, richer, fatter - every superlative is open to competition. The
plethora of possibilities to compare and compete turns into torture.
Stanley Kubrick showed the solution in his film "Eyes Wide Shut". Michael Korth wrote his book "Die
Kunst der Bescheidenheit" (the art of modesty) in 2005. His book is about letting go of wrong convic-
tions, turning away from societal consensus and a loving attitude towards our fellow human beings.
Only in doing that is it possible to transmutate into a "present soul".
Naturally among the "searching souls" there are great differences regarding their spiritual development
and the work they do for others. There are "inactive souls" (approx. 52%), others are "already on their
way" (approx. 37%) and yet still others are "highly developed" (approx. 11%).

11
Present Souls
"Present souls" have qualified themselves and have received access to the spiritual world alongside
their human hereditary traits and cosmic moulding. As a "present soul" the soul is able to ascertain all
spiritual information regarding other souls, after a period of practice, for example:
• type of soul (searching, present, liberated)
• spiritual moulding (inward, outward, giving, taking, comparative)
• the gender their partner had in their last incarnation
• actual spiritual status (read their emotional store)
This makes them superior to the "searching souls":
• they therefore believe they are "better" than others, because they see more and have
a deeper understanding
• they are often driven from their inner desires and emotions, have a creative drive and
are ready to act upon it
• they cannot deal with the "imperfection" of their fellow human beings
• they often pull away from the real world, because they believe that due to the amount of
”searching souls", they would not be able to change anything
• therefore they often create their own little oasis and often withdraw into it
• they tend to be decadent
(Without power, degenerated as a result of over refinement (Duden). typical example: the film Gattaca).

Nevertheless they are....

• incredibly reliable (primary characteristic)

• full of integrity
• able to think for themselves, i.e. they do not orientate themselves according to others, to tide of
events, fashion or other trends.
• able and willing to be creative
• independent
• consequential
• extremely willing and able to learn
• attentive
• interested in cultural or societal topics
• often artistic (at least in their free time)
• they naturally help other souls without wanting anything in return (e.g. Salvation Army or other or-
ganisations etc.)
• bound strongly to what happens on earth
• realist
• never in financial or existential hot water
• never without work for long
These souls are aware of their superior status. They tend to be decadent, a drive they have to overcome
by interacting with "everyday life" in order to rise spiritually and be liberated.
I call these souls "present souls". I assume that every one soul in ten belongs to this group. As with the
"searching souls" there are great differences between the "present souls" regarding their spiritual devel-
opment and the work they do for others. 50% are "inactive", 44% "already on their way" and 5% are
"highly developed". Approx. 1 % is decadent.
After a "present soul" has found its way back to humanity then it becomes liberated. It is interesting to
note that among the Kailash people, suppressed by China, in Tibet there is a high amount of "present
souls". They are peaceful, happy and laugh and celebrate together, despite any difficulties forced upon
them. Did you know that most of the charitable organisations on this planet were founded by "present
souls"?

12
Liberated souls
After a "present soul" has learned and internalised its last lessons, it becomes liberated. The individual
consciousness is augmented to serve the clear purpose of the "godly society", humanity. In its last in-
carnation on earth, the "liberated soul" acquires important information or discovers things that are im-
portant for humanity, like Prometheus was given the task of giving man fire. He carried out his mission
despite being under threat of drastic penalties. A "liberated soul" serves the field fitting to the individu-
al (Mozart had a great wealth of musical knowledge from a past life). The liberated soul does not act of
its own volition, but on behalf of the "society of liberated souls" (see God"). The mere existence por-
trays their importance for humanity.
Alexander Pope wrote a famous poem about Sir Isaac Newton:
“Nature and nature's laws lay hid in night
God said let Newton be! And all was light.”
A "liberated soul" does not look to others for the way and could very easily be alone. After completing
their assignment the "liberated soul" is transferred into the "highest power of the spiritual universe" and
loses its individual character. In the "godly community" the soul has everlasting life.
For us, they are seen as people that become our role models or enable us to develop. During their life
they probably were not famous at all, or they were outsiders who did not stick to societal norms, pat-
terns of behaviour or ways of thinking. They were ready, if need be, to die for their ideas (e.g. Joan of
Arc, Jan Hus, Galileo, Qui Jin etc.). Often, decades after their death, their ideas are seen as having sub-
stance, are taken up by others or made to a (economic) success. It can also happen that they spent their
whole life supporting someone else, as Margerete Peutinger supported her husband or Theo van Gogh
his unsuccessful yet talented brother Vincent. Vincent’s work did not become the most paid pictures of
all time until the 20th Century. The "godly power" works through these people. They are proof that the
human race is lead by the power flowing through them, even if the individual is not aware of this. See
Meister Eckhart, who assumed that God (Author's note, as an "extricated Soul") is constantly creatively
active".
Below there is a roughly sorted list of "liberated souls". The list is by no means complete. By the end of
January 2008, I found approximately 3000 "liberated souls". These souls organised, arranged and in do-
ing so became the founders of important ideas, for example, Leonardo da Vinci, who described the first
flying machine, not Lilienthal, who merely realised the idea. Go through the list of individual "liberated
souls" and take the time to find out what makes them so special. You can gain a completely new picture
of our world history. Every one of them found important key facts in their lives from totally different
areas of life. Their fields of interest are as colourful and varied as the human race itself, be it in science,
art, sociology or views of the world.
The "liberated souls" are proof that our souls are permanently being developed - therefore there is no
finished godly ideal world (that can look into the future), moreover clear specifications within which
we can develop. Humankind, however, is made to suffer constant painful setbacks, be they caused by
humankind itself (e.g. war, damage to the environment etc.) or from external forces, e.g. natural cata-
strophe. This is the only way to explain why, despite the Romans, Greeks and Indians already having
bathrooms 3,500 years ago; the Europeans they threw their excrement on the street and did not regu-
larly have a wash. This list could almost become endless.
It is also a fact that the efforts of the "liberated souls" often remain unsuccessful, because humanity ig-
nores them. A fascinating example is Democritus, who described the function of atoms and molecules
in 460 B.C. Nuclear physics did not become a recognised science until the 19th century. 2,300 years
later!
Maybe we have to get used to different time dimensions? Alas, humanity is too impatient, constantly
wanting to develop and constantly only seeing the individual horizon, solely depicting the span of his
own life.

13
The ancient Greeks placed the principle of these souls with their Gods, the forward thinking Prometh-
eus, who created man, lead him and gave him knowledge. Just like a modern ocean steamer which has
been set on a certain course and can no longer be stopped, Prometheus continued with his intention al-
though he knew he would be severely punished.
"Liberated souls" are people, like all of us; however, they are possessed by a great mission, which can
actually be realised. They are practical, speak in a clear way that can be understood by everyone and
have no glorified unworldliness about them. They have published many books in their mother tongue,
because they constantly want to share their knowledge with everybody.
“Liberated souls" are among humanity's real benefactors and benefactresses. They create thoughts and
ideas that can actually be realised and can be of use to everybody. Their blessing are completely self-
less and, because of that, incomprehensible for many people (e.g. harmonising the East-West balance
of power by Guenther Guillaume, or the autocratic system under Lee Hsien Loonq in Singapore). If we
look back further in time, we can see that people found the Galileo’s ideas of those of Giordano Bruno
strange - today we laugh at their ignorance and that of those leading society at that time, the same way
that future generations will laugh at us.
Buddhist-Indian World view
There is no creative God in the monotheistic sense that can be made responsible for anything. Every
soul is responsible for the world around them. However, you get help from "liberated souls" (Buddha),
who are on this planet for the last time. A jivanmukti (a person liberated from the cycles of rebirth) has
already been extricated, so they are not an individual in the sense of the spiritual society, but they are a
messenger sent by the highest power in our spiritual universe with a special assignment. They con-
sciousness is "godly". The believers in this world have failed to realise that Buddha are always devel-
oping new areas for the spiritual community.
How many liberated souls are there?
I am of the opinion that every year 99 "liberated souls" are born onto this earth, i.e. given human form
by and through people. If we look back 3,000 years, since history has been recorded in a useful format,
then we see that around 300,000 liberated souls have lived on the earth.
Unfortunately, we only know part of it - also, because we only have the horizons of our own history. In
particular the souls of women are missing, whose work was less spectacular then Joan of Arc and who
became the victims of the Mathilda effect, for example the great Abigail, one of David's wives approx.
1,000 B.C; or Trotula, the midwife; or Louis Henriette of Brandenburg, who used her dowry to rebuild
Brandenburg after the Thirty years war.
The Dalai Lama said: "It is misnomer to believe that a spiritual world can be reached by withdrawing
from society. We can only progress by turning to the real world in a loving way."
This is exactly what the "liberated souls" are showing us. They have been among us since the dawn of
time. They work in every walks of life, they show us, help us, protest, discover and fight for a better
world in the future in which other souls have better chances to develop.
The "liberated souls" are fallible (consequently so is god - God is in all of us) and sometimes use meth-
ods that can be seen as dubious in retrospect. However, that is one of the main principles of our spiritu-
al world. Everything is an attempt to carry things onward. They are either successful or unsuccessful -
and so we start again tomorrow, or in many years, decades or centuries.
Predestination does not exist. Direction from a higher power (god) is only a serious attempt to remedy
any defects in this world. Therefore, even if we want to believe it, we cannot look into the future. We
cannot be certain how things are going to end - it all depends on our honest and serious efforts to im-
prove the current state of affairs. We will be rewarded by becoming one with the "greatest power in our
spiritual universe".

God
The big bang split a large energy form in millions of individual energy forms (souls). According to the
law of conservation of energy, all elementary parts must find unity with each other. To do that, how-
ever, they have to be given the capability which is only achieved in connection with a human form that
gives it them. In return the soul gives the human form consciousness during its lifetime.
Every soul is a "searching soul" first of all. If these souls are able to change their consciousness from
the individual to the group etc. e.g. helping other people without thinking of themselves, they rise. In
their next life they return as "present souls". Alongside their human hereditary traits and cosmic mould-
ing "present souls" also have access to the spiritual world. As a "present soul" they are able to classify
other people's souls and, after some practice, are able to read into their emotional store. This makes
them superior to the "searching souls".
"Present souls" are liberated for acts of great good. Only by giving themselves wholly, without egotistic
motives, to other souls is it possible for them to rise to the godly society. In their previous life, "present
souls" had the task of giving something special to humanity - the same way Prometheus did, (see the
list of "liberated souls"). After completing this last task, their consciousness is transferred into the
"community of liberated souls". Humanity has given this group of souls the name "God". I will contin-
ue to use that label.
God is a collective of souls that have been honoured for their amazing deeds for humanityand whose
consciousness is supplemented by "liberated souls" after the death of their human host. God has been
the total of all the "liberated souls'" consciousness since the beginning of the world. His consciousness
is in a constant state of development, parallel to the process of development which humanity is under-
going.
God is not able to create anything of his own accord. Dorothee Soelle, an evangelical theologian, has
said "God has no other hands but ours". This invalidates all the creation myths of every religion and
theology. Our spiritual community simply uses the existing natural system on this earth to further de-
velop itself. It didn't create the system; however, it constantly tries to improve the conditions for other
souls.
God merely influences everything by means of "liberated souls" which fight for humanity and change
in the world. Like everything else in this world, the outcome is uncertain. The human host can become
ill, or die, or possibly have the misfortune of being the wrong gender, which, for reasons of social beha-
vioural doctrine, "may only occupy itself with one thing or another", or it may be persecuted or killed
by others for its statements, etc. It is all an attempt to bring humanity forward.
"Liberated souls" need to be supported by "present souls" (approx. 10% of the earth's population = 660
million people), by working together to improve the "liberated souls'" ideas and helping them to imple-
ment those ideas. "Present souls" are able to recognise "liberated souls", because they have access to
the spiritual world and direct access to God. They can experience God as soon as they have integrated
this discovery into their waking consciousness. For that reason they often reach other conclusions than
the rest of us.
God's system and conditions are clear and simple. It's autocratic and immutable. In 265 BC, the
Chinese philosopher Xúnzĭi taught "heaven has definite rules, earth has definite regulations."

19
It is high time that we thoroughly review the world view of "God", even if this goes against the convic-
tions of millions of people and writes off preachers and other "men of the cloth". It will give estab-
lished religions the foundation they have been looking for and also bring them down to earth.
Since every soul is a part of the original energy form, it follows that every part of us is also a part of
God. C.G. Jung hit the nail on the head when he said, "God lives in the soul".

Devils and Demons

Satan, hell, demons, negative spirits or shadowed beings, and everything else termed evil, are all fig-
ments of man's imagination. They are merely suppressed desires or even fears coming to the fore. The
potential of being "led into temptation" is an ever present part of people themselves. As the resonance
principle says: one person is susceptible another not.
Whoever believes in this kind of hocus pocus, will find his personality changing for the worse. Since
all souls are energetically connected to each other, people with medial abilities can pick up on the "neg-
ative" vibes sent out by others and then start to believe in demons and such. In actual fact they are re-
ceiving the negative vibes sent by other souls.
Interestingly enough, the only people interested in this kind of thing are usually those who are negat-
ively poled themselves. Unfortunately the mass media uses this phenomenon in film, TV, press and lit-
erature. Unknowing souls could be greatly harmed by this sort of thing. Present and liberated souls are
immune. There is definitively no such thing as Satan or other devils.
The most probable reason for the creation of these dark worlds is man's need to explain and rationalise
the negative sides of life and to find someone responsible for his own fallibility. Many are prone to
look for blame in others and also to learn from unpleasant things. We are all responsible for our own
actions.
Nevertheless, even today there are witch hunts, only the demons have been given names: substance ab-
use, terrorism, foreigners, Hutu/Tutsi etc.
There are, however, real threats that aren't man-made. We are under threat by natural catastrophes and
catastrophes from outer space. These are the real apocolypses. However, it is wrong to give God the
blame for this. Any possible end of the world will be of natural causes. It is not God's revenge on bad
people. On the contrary, the godly community is interested in helping all parts of energy find their way
back to the whole. Revenge has nothing to do with it.

20
Communication between souls
All beings on this earth are connected to each other. We communicate with each other by sending and
receiving vibes. The vibes create a resonance with other beings which is then compared with their own
emotional store (consciousness). If the comparison proves positive, the two believe to have come to a
unified result (Wolf Singer).
If the received information is perceived to be relevant for a being then a reaction (or a decision) is made
by sending and receiving vibes. This system works immediately and across the globe.

Karma
Karma is the influence of the current of previous life on a life form. Whoever does not make the effort
to resolve any issues, is in danger of being confronted with them in a later life. People have to be clear
about this!
If a soul behaves in such a way that it’s rather forgotten than remembered after its host dies, then it
squanders the opportunity to regain capability. It is forgotten and remains in the "intermediate realm"
(eternal "damnation").
It is especially important that our spiritual community's living conditions are improved so that we can
ensure a better place for when our souls return (see visions).

Five Necessities for the positive Development of the Soul ........
People have to understand that our collective assignment on this earth is to better the quality of the con-
ditions we live in, and everyone has to do their part. To that end, the following are necessary:
1. Health
No positive spiritual development is possible without a healthy and capable human form. This
involves: clean water and fresh air, healthy and sufficient food, preventative health care and a
suitable place to stay.
2. Communication
Communicating with other souls promotes peace and harmony and also ensures material secur-
ity for other people by means of burgeoning trade. The necessary use of each other's skills helps
everyone. 3,000 years ago in Israel, King Solomon showed the world, how, by means of active
communication a country can blossom within a few decades and obtain material and intellectu-
al/cultural riches. He managed to bring opposing ethnic groups together under one central ad-
ministration.
3. Recognise the soul and the great force of the spiritual universe
The basis of this statement is taken from Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha). Nothing needs to be
added to it. Souls need to find a ways to go from thinking about themselves as individuals to
thinking of society as a whole. It is all about sharing. However, this is not to be taken as simply
giving away your possessions (in the way St. Martin gave away his cloak) or sharing useless
bits of knowledge, but in actively developing an interest in other people.
4. Education
Thomas Jefferson, author of the American declaration of independence, demanded that people
be given a basic education (he spread the "light of knowledge"!).
5. Do things for other souls (Ralph von Muehldorfer)

Every capable soul has four tasks ahead of it:

1. to understand itself and honour its own needs
2. to give capability to as many related souls as possible
3. to accompany those souls in life
4. to develop the spiritual community further.

The Meaning of Life

A soul has no chance of developing or becoming extricated unless it voluntarily takes on things for oth-
er souls and, ultimately, the spiritual community. That is an immutable law in our spiritual world, the
actual home of every soul. That is the meaning of life.
At the moment most people think of money or their own advancement when they think of doing some-
thing for others. Every good thought is turned into "monetary value" and examined to see how valuable
it is, before putting it into a business plan. There is no booking number in the accountancy department
for the spiritual use of something. If everyone just saw every activity in this world from an economical
point of view, then we are heading for the biggest catastrophe humanity has ever known.
Every challenged and wish for the positive development of our souls are in the five necessities listed
above. They will provide the basis for any new vision of a tenable social system. Everything anyone
does can be evaluated using that system.

Translator´s Epilogue
Ralph was a very flexible client and working with him was great fun. The book’s topic really interests
me, making it a joy to translate. I have read quite a bit about the subject matter in the book, but this
book gave me new insights into the subject itself, making my awareness of the human soul and the
workings of the universe itself grow immensely.

The problem with reading the book on the PC or a laptop is that most people have to deal with constant
interruptions; e-mails come in, your friend contacts you on MSN or Skype or, for some reason, your
computer crashes. Is it not the best thing in the world to sit in your favourite chair, reading a book,
wrapped in a blanket with a cup of tea? I think we all need this time to ourselves. We start to relax and
really understand the author's point of view.
We have kept the price low at £12. As many readers, however, do not want to wait for the post, they
can print it out. The printable download costs a mere £8 on LULU and can be used as soon as the
money is taken from your credit card. The download versions are more up-to-date than the printed
copy, because they are updated every 6 months with the new “present souls”.

you pleasant reading and ask you to recommend the book to your friends and family so that everyone
on the planet will soon have a copy.
