Chapter 2 The Moon

The moon people (8 May 1841)

10. Only those spirits who did not need to be placed in a moon human in order to improve themselves, but who as spirits had already acquired a most revolting disgust for the earth, will be led away from there into higher regions and can be taken up into the child-kingdom, as their highest level of bliss; but to reach higher, would be impossible for them; because their limited quality would not be able to endure a higher state, as little as a man on earth, as long as he still lives in the body, could endure living in the finest ether.

11. Behold, this is the lot of the best world-minded people; for whoever does not voluntarily renounce the world out of love for Me - but the worldly things must be driven out of him by such extraordinary means of coercion, by virtue of My great mercy - he has not acted freely; but whoever does not act freely, he acts like a slave. Who, however, can regard the forced action of a slave as self-meritorious? But if the slave fulfills his compulsory condition, his action is nevertheless worth so much that he is given a loaf of bread to eat, so that he may also live, insofar as he has worked willingly, as it were, of necessity.

12. From this you will now be able to fully understand why such beings are not capable of a higher bliss than the children in the transition from life into the spiritual, after which they themselves are, and must be, nothing but slaves of blind obedience.
