12 Questions that demand answers These were my questions. My Church couldn’t give me any answery and also no real comfort. But something nagged me inside and it wouldn’t let go. I had been eminently pious before and even an enthusiastic co-worker. I was well versed with the Bible and I knew whole chapters by heart. But I stood here now with empty hands. Anyway, this is how I felt. You can believe me when I say that the answers to my questions were not easy to find. Oh, it was a long journey! These were not the times of the Internet when one can find books and other information at the click of a button. I spend decades searching, but it was not in vain. I experienced wonderous things, too many things to report about. But I didn’t relax and invested a lot of time and effort in this, even money. The fruits of my labour show up now that I am older. I feel fulfilled and consoled, calm and as if delivered through what I have found. And this is what I want to share with everyone that wants to listen to me. It is my personal, mental, ergo spiritual knowledge that gradually found its way to me. But please! - nobody should be affronted when I deal with and express things that are alien and unfamiliar. Remain completely calm! Everyone has the freedom to think and to believe - or not believe - what resonates with them. Something that is good and helpful to me must not necessarily be good and helpful to you by a long shot. Therefore: Please look upon my writing as my offer. My request for more understanding. You can simply add your own existing religious understanding that you are presently comfortable with. To know more about life and death and the survival after death means to be less fearful. Anyway, that has been my experience. I do indeed live in peace and with composure and people sometimes envy me because of it. It is important for me to say to you once again: Take from my lines the things that you can use at this point in time and leave the rest aside! It might appeal to you five or ten years from now. I consciously turn to those amongst you that say of themselves: “But I can hardly believe it and I don’t know whether I really want to.” I am pretty sure that you will find something when you read this, that you comprehend and that
