After death, joys are increasing lightning flashes of the spirit, in the liberation of the emotive forces which have rid themselves of denser material; by the same principle, however, the sorrows of the conscience reach the peak of anguish.

Accordingly, remorse in us is like a fulcrum of moral agonies reviving the remembrance of our errors with a terrifying power of repetition.

Thus, we carry along with us beyond the grave, the burden of our sins, which constantly presents the spectacle of our own weaknesses and we beg for reincarnation as someone who knows that the physical body is the instrument capable of rehabilitating us.

In these circumstances, we do not spare supplications nor haggle over promises nor measure wishes, we do not underestimate sacrifices. . . . We would embrace service and struggle, signifying the restlessness of a thirsty person asking for water.

We seek to purify sentiments, to redeem debts, to sanctify bonds and to elevate the experiences in the conquest of our own reformation.

And nearly always we are reborn in extreme difficulties in order to redeem ourselves, like the student who has been made a boarding student in order to acquire an education.

Do not, therefore, refuse the testing of problems which the world may impose upon you in the brief passage under the mist of the flesh. the illness, the inhibition, the tortured dream, the difficult relative, the temporary separation or domestic misfortune represent rapid courses of personal regeneration in which we are tomorrow you will return to the home of light whence you came. Do not prevent the sweat of your brow or the sob of suffering from dissolving the darkness from your heart.

Every evil of yesterday is resurrected in the evil of today so that the good may reappear and resume control of your life.

Error maladjusts.

Suffering restores.

And that is why, between the illusion which darkens and the truth which illuminates, reincarnation will always be the high road of recommencement.

Emmanuel
