The all-important Why

45 Some more “hereafter lore” Now once again back to our question: What is it like in the hereafter, what is heaven like? The Swiss book author Imhof wrote: “As on Earth, so in Heaven”. We cannot manage here on our planet Earth without some kind of order. And the same applies over there. We will certainly open our eyes wide when we arrive there one day and see how exactly everything is organised. The same happened to the English author and journalist Thomas William Stead. Does the name “Titanic” mean anything to you? It was a huge luxury steamer. In April 1912, it collided with an iceberg on its maiden voyage between England and America and it sank within a few hours.

That he was in a kind of special sphere for souls that had been wrenched from their terrestrial life unprepared.
