Our Thought Life in Sleep and Wakefulness and in the Afterlife

Once human beings become thoroughly aware that they are connected not only to the physical form of their ancestors, but also to the development of their own souls, which follow the entire development of their ancestors from the spiritual world and contribute to it, then this awareness will become real within them. Then energy and courage will flow from the spirit into the souls of many people who, because of their present way of thinking, are filled with discouragement and lack of energy. For it is of the least value that we know this or that about the spiritual world in theory. Most of the time we even clothe our thoughts about the spiritual world in physical forms. It is not important that we form theoretical thoughts about the spiritual world. Certainly, we must first form these thoughts so that they enter our mind and our will, but the essential thing is that they can then live in our mind and in our feelings.
