The fact that we no longer know anything about the spiritual world has in reality caused tremendous misery

And that, gentlemen, that one no longer knows anything about the spiritual world, that has in reality caused the immense misery [….] And to say: People have deserved this because they have done bad things in their former life -, this is of course nonsense, because this is not the fate of each individual, but it is the common fate of each individual. But it is experienced by everyone in this life. Just think how much misery man experiences in the present life. It does not come from the previous life. But in the next life, he will have the consequences of the misery of now. The consequence will be that he will be more wise and that the spirit world will be able to enter him sooner. So the present misery is already an education for the future.
