Since beings during their physical terrestrial lives live mostly in a world of darkness and must struggle with many difficult phenomena in order to be able to sustain their physical existence, this, as previously mentioned, gives rise to dreams of ideal existences in which they do not have to struggle with sufferings and difficulties, as they have to on the physical plane. These dreams are mental constructions in spiritual matter and cannot, as a rule, be experienced by the beings on the physical plane for the time being because they are not yet sufficiently developed to be able to meet the conditions for the realisation of these dreams or dream existences on this plane. Here we see how divinely the universe's laws of life are formed in culminating wisdom and love, since the beings are granted intervals for rest during their connection to physical existence so that, during these intervals, they can be completely exempted from the difficulties, sufferings, worries and unrest of their physical fate, so that they can devote themselves entirely to their dreams, and experience them as realistic reality on the spiritual plane regardless of which step in evolution, which gifts and talents, what degree of logical thinking and creative ability they may have attained on the physical plane. Their dreams can be fashioned only out of the wishes and longings that constitute the absolute height of what they are able to think or perceive on the particular step in evolution they represent. But, as a rule, having such a dream or dream existence realised on the physical plane implies insurmountable obstacles for the beings in question, since physical matter does not automatically obey thought. It therefore most often costs both money and other people's co-operation or labour to have one's dream existence realised. This is why people live with unsatisfied longings and the disappointments, worries and difficulties these engender, making their fate or physical existence an unhappy one. Having their dream existence realised on the physical plane can therefore take a very long time, such a long time in fact that several lives are sometimes needed before the obstacles are overcome and the being can experience physically the realisation of its dream existence. But this being so, it is divine that people can experience their dream existence on the spiritual plane long before they can experience it on the physical plane. And this is what happens when the being dies, leaving its physical existence, and is liberated from its physical organism. After this it is relieved of having to juggle with heavy physical matter, which was previously a vital necessity. It will now experience and create only in spiritual matter, which on the contrary obeys thought. Here the being can therefore experience everything it is able to imagine on the step to which it belongs. And since it has been freed in purgatory from that part of its set of senses through which disappointments, sorrows, anxieties, jealousy, depression, bitterness and anger or, in brief, all low spirits or bad temperedness can be experienced, it can experience only joy or elation on the spiritual plane, since everything here succeeds for it according to its slightest wish. And since the whole of this sphere is populated only by beings of the same wavelength range, which means, beings that are likewise freed from dark and dismal kinds of thought, existence here is thus a life among loving friends in light and joy. And the being therefore experiences here a world where its dream is reality, paradise or the sunny regions and home of life.
