The Road to Paradise
Chapter 41
The living being's absolute, true paradise
As we have begun to see here there is no human being whatsoever who will not experience his absolutely most beautiful dream coming true beyond death, except during its passage through purgatory, which, in only a very limited number of cases and in special situations, is dark and painful. Being afraid of death is therefore a terribly dark and disheartening derailment of the mentality, since beyond death lies hidden the realisation of the beings' particular dreams or dream existences or an existence that has to be acknowledged as life's absolutely true paradise. Is there any other existence anywhere that can in this way be paradisiacal for people than one in which they are allowed to experience in advance the most beautiful ideals of their lives long before they have developed sufficiently to experience them in their purest form on the physical plane of existence? And how can any other form of life experience give greater happiness and well-being than the experience of having one's greatest normal longings come true in an experience of reality in its purest form, where one is freed from any illnesses, sorrows, worries, economic troubles or other people's hatred and bitterness, antipathy and slander? Can any other form of life experience be more pleasing and delightful? And can the being wish for a higher and better form of life experience than having his greatest wishes come true? We have thus here arrived at life's only absolutely true paradise.
