The Connection Between Humans and the Spiritual World

When a person has been dead for a long time, they have completely shed their astral body. This only happens after decades, because the movement we undergo in the spiritual world is much slower than the movement in the physical world; thirty years in the spiritual world correspond to approximately one year in the physical world. Human beings rush about here in the physical world; in the spiritual world, they always have to complete a revolution, so to speak, in a much larger circle than here in the physical world. In short, one year in the physical world corresponds to thirty years in the spiritual world; in thirty years in the spiritual world, one experiences roughly the same part of the world as in one year in the physical world; one experiences this part of the world more inwardly, more intensely.
