O thou dear servant of God!

During the time of thy visit here the meanings of the
words of Christ, "Let the dead bury their dead," was
explained to thee. Those souls who are not vivified and
attracted by the Holy Spirit, are accounted among the
dead, because their souls are deprived of the breath of
the Holy Spirit, and these persons after physical death
are in a certain condition, having feeling and discernment
in their environment, but in comparison with the
pure souls who have been vivified by the Holy Spirit,
they are as dead and deprived.

For example: The mineral kingdom in comparison
with the vegetable is lifeless; also the existence
of the animal kingdom in comparison with that of man
is death. The meaning is not that the neglectful souls
will be non-existent.

Give my loving greeting to all the servants of God
and the sharers of divinity.
