- 57 - Question : I cannot see you. But if I could, what would you look like? Answer : I have a body that is a copy of my terrestrial body, the same hands, legs and feet, and they move like yours do. This etheric body that I already possessed on Earth permeated through the physical body. This etheric body is the real body and an exact duplicate of the terrestrial body. When we die, we rise from our carnal body and continue our life in the etheric world, we act with our etheric body the way we acted in our physical body on Earth. This etheric body now feels as material as the physical body before, when we still lived on Earth. We have the same sensations. When we touch an object, we can feel it, when we look at something, we can see it. Even though our body is not physical as you interpret the word, it has form, facial features and expression. We move from place to place the way you do, but a lot faster than you can. Question : What is spirit? Is it something detached from the brain? Answer : It certainly is. You bring your spirit here with you. You leave your physical brain back on Earth. Our spirit here has an effect on our ethereal brain and through it on our ethereal body, exactly the way your physical brain has an effect on your physical body. Question : Can you tell me something about your world? Answer : Everyone on the same plane of existence can see and touch the same things. When we look at a field, it is a field that is there to see for all those that look at it. Everything is the same for those that are on the same level of spiritual development. It is not a dream. We can sit together and enjoy our company like we did on Earth. We have books and we can read them. We have the same feelings that you have. We can go on a long walk and meet a friend that we haven’t seen for a long time. We gather flowers like you. Everything is tangible, but everything is a shade more beautiful than anything on Earth. Flowers and meadows do not decay here. Plant life only stops after it has stopped growing to then disappear. It dematerialises. Only a similarity of what you call “death” exists here. We call it transition. After a time, once we have progressed sufficiently, we transit to another plane of existence and it is then not that easy to get back to Earth. We call this the second death. Those that have experienced the second death can come back to us and visit us on our plane, but we cannot go to them until we have also passed through it. This is what your Bible calls the “second death”. Those that have passed through it do not return all that often and they do not talk to you directly through materialisation, the way I do at the moment: but they can convey their messages through me or somebody on my plane, and we pass them onto you. A collection of very good narrations about the hereafter was published by a Dr. Ing. Rudolf Schwarz (1903 – 1963) (11). This work is particularly valuable and readable, because the depictions gained by the author are being compared to those of other rapporteurs and tested for accordance and differences. We are dealing with the first, rare “comparative of the hereafter”. As a medium for Dr. Schwarz served a retired Protestant Priest that he introduces by the nickname of “Ph. Landmann” and whose real name was Möller (1871 – 1963). He lived near Kassel and he was a writing medium that provided otherworldly entities with the opportunity to paranormally control his hand. During his later years, Landmann also became clairaudient. Deceased relatives, friends and other personalities announced themselves through him. These could be questioned via the medium by Dr. Schwarz on various themes, like for instance the process of dying, experiences during the process, the nature of the hereafter and experiences therein, garments worn by spirit entities, the texture of their body etc. The first example I give here is the proclamation of a deceased aunt of the medium who had died towards the end of the twenties. On the 7th of December 1947, she was presented with the question (11, P. 19): Question : What did you experience during your transition? Answer : Aunt N. looked after her dear Ph. I also cordially say hello to F. (Landmann’s wife who is present). I am pleased that you called me. I heard that you, dear Ph. has found contact
