This was due to the fact that during recent times in the development of the Russian people, many noble idealists perished in the dungeon or on the scaffold. They were men of high ideals, but they were not so far developed as to be able to forgive. They died with feelings of bitter revenge against those who had been the cause of their death. These feelings of revenge were lived out in their Kamaloca period, for only in Kamaloca is this possible. From the astral plane after their death, they filled the souls of the Japanese soldiers with hatred and revenge against the people to whom they themselves had belonged. Had they already been in Devachan they would have said: I forgive my enemies! For in Devachan, with the clouds of hatred and revenge confronting them from without, they would have realised how terrible and how unworthy such feelings are.—Thus occult investigation reveals that whole peoples stand under the influence of their forefathers.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"V.

Das kommt daher, daß in den letzten Zeiten der russischen Volksentwickelung viele edle Idealisten durch Kerker und Schafott zugrunde gingen. Es waren Menschen von hohen Idealen, doch nicht so weit entwickelt, daß sie verzeihen konnten. Sie gingen in den Tod mit einem starken Rachegefühl gegen diejenigen, die ihren Tod verursacht hatten. Das mußte sich ausleben in ihrer Kamaloka-Zeit, denn dort allein leben sich solche Rachegefühle aus. Nach ihrem Tode erfüllten sie vom Astralplan aus die Seelen der kämpfenden Japaner mit Haß und Rachegefühlen gegen das Volk, dem sie selbst angehört hatten. Wären sie schon im Devachan gewesen, dann würden sie gesagt haben: Ich verzeihe meinen Feinden! — Denn im Devachan würden sie in den ihnen von außen entgegentretenden Haß- und Rachewolken erkannt haben, wie furchtbar und wie ihrer unwürdig solche Gefühle sind.
