As the body fares in the realm of the so-called natural forces, the soul fares in the realm of the spirit.

In this way no one’s pride is nourished and the great man is no longer blinded by his greatness and the poor man – having suffered much hardship in the world – no longer by his claim on the Kingdom of Heaven, nor the pious by his expected reward of the Kingdom of Heaven. As often mentioned, in the beyond – mind you – in the beyond nothing but the purest love is of value. – Beyond the Threshold, Introduction, Paragraph 6
