58. The Connection between Life in the Spiritual World and Life in the Earthly World. On the Relationship between the Living and the Dead

In such a case, we realize how much is not happening around us that could happen in our lives. How do you know what would have happened in your life if you had, say, taken a walk three minutes earlier than you did? Certainly, there are karmic necessities; but there are a thousand possibilities that do not become action. What actually happens arises from the ground of many possibilities. It is precisely in those moments when something could have happened that did not, because we missed the opportunity, so to speak, that there is always a favorable moment for the spiritual world to shine in. Let's take an example: you miss a train because you are late. You should accept something like this with composure, because karma can work in it. A person should gradually acquire serenity. If he does so, he will feel something occurring like a dreamlike thought at moments when he could have been hit by a misfortune but missed it. This will express something that a dead person tells him and which can be an important message from over there.
