10. Between Death and Rebirth of the Human Being

Therefore, we can say that after death, years pass in which the soul is busy gradually detaching itself from its last life, weaning itself off its connection to its last life. These years pass in such a way that we are not torn away from the experiences of our last life. We remain connected to the people we have left behind, the people we loved; but we remain connected because we gained certain feelings and connections with them during our life; and through the detours of what life offered or denied us, we remain connected to them. One must always express oneself figuratively in this regard. After death, one can certainly remain connected to those who were close to one in life, but only through the connection of the feelings one had for them in life. This creates an intense connection with them. After death, one lives together with the living, but also with those who have already passed away, with whom one had a connection in life. So one must imagine life after death as continuing in this way for years. It is primarily a life in which the soul experiences everything it wants and desires and longs for, as it were, in a felt and willed connection of memories with its last life.
