- 15 - Just as a human architect can make alterations to his original construction plans, so it is within the realm of possibility for God, by way of exception, to permit changes in anyone’s destiny. Only He can lengthen or shorten the time of a person’s life. As the Bible also tells you, God sometimes prolongs the life of one of His servants who has proved faithful and shown himself to be a trustworthy helper in God’s Plan of Salvation for winning back those who have fallen away from Him. Thus, to Hezekiah He sends the message: II Kings 20: 6: ‘I will add fifteen years to your life.’ He shortens the foreordained life span of others because they not only fail to perform the life work allotted to them but try to dissuade their fellowmen from fulfilling their duty to God. Psalm 55: 24: ‘These bloodthirsty liars will not live out half their days.’ By “bloodthirsty liars” the Bible does not mean those guilty of actual bloodshed on earth, but of killing the souls of their fellowmen by enticing them away from God. Proverbs 10: 27: ‘The fear of the Lord prolongs days, but the days of the wicked shall be shortened.’ God inspires the prophet Jeremiah to announce to Hananiah: Jeremiah 28: 16: ‘This very year you will die, because you instigated people to disobedience towards the Lord.’ Ezekiel 22: 4: ‘By the blood you have shed (by inducing people to separation from God) you have become guilty, and through the idols you have made you have defiled yourself and caused the Days of Judgment to draw near and you have come to the end of your years.’ • The destiny of the various nations is also foreordained. You do not understand these matters because you have no true conception of the causes and ends of the great events of the world. Above all, you are ignorant of the purpose underlying the material Creation and do not know what relationship exists between the incarnated spirit and God’s Creation. “Of these things I shall tell you more hereafter. I have inserted my remarks relating to destiny because they were necessary in connection with my explanation of the Odic force, since otherwise you would not be able to understand what I am about to say about ‘clairvoyance’ in its relation to Od. • Clairvoyants’ are living beings, humans or animals, whose spirit is able to detach itself from the body to such an extent that its power of vision is similar to that of the spirits of the Beyond, which have left their terrestrial bodies altogether. A well-trained clairvoyant is able under certain circumstances to read the destiny of another person imprinted upon that person’s Od. He can read the whole past of a person whose Od he sees, and not only the part that was predestined, but also those events that have already occurred as a result of the exercise of the individual’s free will.
