Thus, you will understand what I now have to say. Bear in mind this whole relation of the dead to the living, insofar as it rests on inspirations. Remember that the inspirations are always there, even if they pass unnoticed. They are perpetually living in the human astral body, so that human beings on earth have relations with the dead in this direct way, too. Now, after all we have said, you will understand that these relationships depend on our whole mood and spirit in our lives here on earth. If our attitude to other people is hostile, if we are without interest or sympathy for our contemporaries-above all, if we do not have an unprejudiced interest in our fellows-then the dead cannot approach us as they long to do. They cannot properly transplant themselves into our souls, or, if they must do so, it is made difficult for them in one way or another and they can do it only with great suffering and pain. All in all, the living together of the dead with the living is complicated.

Thus, we continue to work when we pass through the gate of death, even directly, inasmuch as after death we inspire those who are living on the physical plane. And this is absolutely true. Especially in their inner habits and qualities, the way they think, feel, and develop inclinations, those living on earth at any given time are dependent to a great extent on those who have died and passed from the earth before them-those who were related to them during life, or to whom they themselves established a relation even after death, which may sometimes happen, though it is not so easy.
