110 “Outlines of the Truth” Dear reader, what I am writing about here might read as if I knew everything. This is of course not true. Therefore: And I would like to emphasise this again, my knowledge can only be partial knowledge. Pastor Günther Schwarz talked about this at some stage, namely that we as human beings can always only recognise the outlines of the truth. Therefore, no matter how hard I try with my writing, the things that I can record here can only be outlines. But such outlines of the truth can indeed help us, based on more understanding and recognition, to progress in our endeavour to undertake our journeys in a more quiet, relaxed and confident manner. Let’s look at our opening topic one more time: Somebody close to us suddenly dies, something I recently experienced myself when my nearly blind 93 years old friend died. I was startled, affected and sad, because I knew that he would dearly like to have lived a little longer. But at the same time, I was instantly aware: He naturally lives on. I wonder how he is faring now? He is actually still here, he only changed sides. I miss him very much and I regret the fact that I can no longer talk to him and play music with him. When I walk past his room in the nursing home - I realise that he is no longer there… On the other hand, I don’t begrudge him that he could enter a new stage of his life and that everything is better for him. How good must he feel to be able to see clearly again and that to see his wife again! I can send him tender blessing with my thoughts. “Things should be good for you in the world that you are now in! And we will surely see each other again!” I expect that this ”letter” will get to him… “He just switched to the other side.” Dear reader, if one can imagine this, one is already better off. The soul naturally lives on! It just switched to the other side! It now lives in the hereafter, it will recuperate, it is fine and it has the opportunity to gain more insights. I can send it my good wishes, my friendly thoughts. And when I switch sides one day after a long life, I will probably immediately recognise the soul of this harmonica player and will be pleased to see how he has recuperated and rejuvenated. And because he was unable to recognise faces during the last eight years of his life, he will see me for the first time and we will be able to talk to each other face to face! I am already looking forward to this!
