Lizzie Oxov Nielsen was born in Denmark in 1937. She has lived in
Sweden since 1976. Lizzie has also channelled a previous Book: “The
Truth”, from: Sanat Kumara, the Spiritual leader of the
Earth.
Sanat Kumara is God's deputy on Earth.
A new book is also coming soon, called: “Secrets Revealed”
Sanat Kumara:
Jesus Christ will come to assist men by preparing them for what will happen on Earth, and by bringing forth the message of the power of love and eternal life. He will do this through a book intended for children. In so doing, the children will influence their parents to change their way of life for the better, if they so choose.
In the face of Earth's entry into the fifth dimension, it is believed that major events will take place on Earth. Significant souls will come forward to help humanity. Many angels and star people have been appointed to help these great souls, having made a promise to do so prior to their coming to Earth. The great souls require assistance to help them spread the truth.
If a promise has been given and one has greatly progressed in their development on Earth, there is no turning back. If you refuse to take on the task that was meant to be performed, you will no longer have the benefit of this soul wandering on Earth. Instead, this soul will be called back to the spiritual world to assist there, as it no longer has a purpose to continue its life here. A replacement from the spiritual world must then be found to take over his task.

It is a great pleasure for me to be able to convey this book for children through Archangel Didarion, who walks on Earth spreading the word about the power of love. She has taken on the task of channelling this book for children so she can help the people of the Earth.
With this book, I want to convey the truth about the spiritual world to children and to give them knowledge of what is to come. I want to prepare them for the new era, when major changes will take place on Earth.
Children should know that death does not exist, and that they have eternal life. They have nothing to fear. Children can in turn influence their parents, and let them know how it will all be when the Earth enters a new era. The power of love is the life energy of the universe.
This book is my gift to mankind, and mainly to the children who are now growing up and who will be able to spread love and light to their fellow creatures.
I bless you all. May God be with you. Jesus Christ
In a small town lived a boy who no one cared about and who was often bullied. At home, it was not so good either. His parents worked in different areas, and the boy often felt alone and abandoned. One of his legs was a little longer than the other. As a result of that, he limped badly when he was walking. He found it difficult to participate in outdoor games and sports with the other children.
He was often very sad and sat alone by himself. He was often in the nature, where the animals were his best company. He was able to talk to them so to speak, by understanding what they were thinking. In that way he could communicate with them, because the animals have the ability, to understand people's thoughts. He also thought about all the plants and the trees, and talked to them in the same way. He was a very loving and kind boy. His name was Ola.
One day, when Ola came home from school, he went as usual into the garden and sat down under his favorite tree. There was a very big old oak tree - yes, hundreds of years. It could tell a lot of stories from old times, and Ola understood, as he sat under the tree and leaned against the trunk, that the oak had much to tell. Ola sort of saw in front of himself, the events that had taken place in this location for very long time ago. He saw clearly, what had happened there. He saw the animals and the people who had been on this place before.
A scene was played out before his eyes, where he saw a hunter with a wounded animal. It was a bear, and the poor creature squirmed in agony. Why would this happen, why can’t I live in peace in the stillness of the forest, why do people torture me? The bear thought, but it was so, that the hunter wanted the bear's fur to make warm clothes for himself and his family.
It was at the time when people lived in caves. There was no electricity, heated houses or other amenities, so they had to protect themselves against the cold and use animals’ fur. There were no other possibilities, and animals therefore had to be sacrificed. It was also the case that the meat from the bear became food for these people. In the summer there were berries and fruits, but in the winter it was very difficult for these cavemen to find food and they would die of starvation if they couldn’t hunt animals at the time. The animals had to be sacrificed for the people to survive.
Years ago there weren’t so many people on earth, as there are today. There was no pollution, the air and water were completely free from all impurities. There were not so many diseases as today either. People were satisfied with their life. They lived in the moment and held together in the family. The image disappeared, and Ola sat for a while and thought about what he had seen. He understood that the world had been very different a long time ago.
Now the neighbor came by and greeted Ola, who sat under the oak tree. He was a kind old man, who lived alone in the house next door. He worked a lot in his garden. Now he had just been out to buy seeds for the new flowers he'd be planting. He was as lonely as Ola, so he asked if Ola wanted to come over to his garden and help, and Ola wanted that very much. He went to Henry, who the neighbor was called, and joined him in his garden. Ola was completely speechless, he had never seen such a nice garden before. A large hedge hid the garden from outside, and it was the first time, Ola saw it. Ola had heard of paradise in school, and thought that paradise must look like Henry’s garden.
There were plants of all kinds, lush trees and bushes, everything was so beautiful. The roses in the garden were absolutely gorgeous, they bloomed in amazing colors. There were different kinds of fruit trees and bushes, and everything had a beauty that Ola couldn’t have envisaged in his wildest imagination. A small rippling source was also in the garden and a big beautiful bath for the birds was located next to the largest tree, where many birds had their nests. The bird song sounded so beautiful, and Ola was completely overwhelmed by all this beauty.
Suddenly he saw a little elf who sat on a rock and looked at him. Ola was very surprised that there was a living elf in Henry's garden and told Henry that he had seen an elf there.
“Yes, it's true”, said Henry and smiled, “so, you can see him too. It’s not everyone who can see the little people. Only a very loving person is able to see these beings. They are invisible to most people. Elves are so kind and loving and don’t understand all the evil that some people do.”
“It’s like this”, Henry continued, “many people hurt each other; they think more of themselves and their own profit. They want many things, more and more, and will never be satisfied with what they have. Their existence is to chase money so they can acquire even more. Some people steal from others, they beat people to death, they deceive each other, and egoism is large in many people. They boast to others about their possessions and they don’t have time for each other, for the children or to spread love to their fellow creatures”.
“It would be much better if they spent more time with each other in joy and laughter, and being more loving towards each other. Then there wouldn’t be so many diseases, because love cures. We see in these times, how a lot of people get sick. They stress them self to death in their pursuit of Mammon. The children almost never see their parents and become stressed and sad too. They get sick because they feel lonely and abandoned”. Henry patted Ola on the back and continued:
“Together, people will make the Earth a better place to live on. When everyone lives for each other, helping the weak and consoling the sorrowful, paradise will be here on earth. All that is created is true to life and everything is interconnected”.
Now Henry picked some tools from a tool shed in the rear of the garden and gave Ola a shovel.
“If we help each other to sow these seeds, which I bought today, he said, then we will see if they take root in the soil. They will reach for the light - the sun - and grow up through the soil. Next Spring they will be in full bloom. It’s like that with people too. They begin as small seeds, some wilt and die, while others grow big and strong and extend toward the light - the love and the truth”.
Henry made small holes in the soil, and watered them a little. Then he put a few seeds in each hole, and Ola patted the soil over the seeds.
“Now we will wait for them to sprout and germinate”, said Henry.
“Oops, look, there's a small figure among the flowers, a small creature, a fairy with wings”.
Ola looked and saw the little one, who fiddled with a beautiful flower.
“Yes, you see, I have a lot of help in the garden,” Henry smiled, “for all these beings are helping in the garden; they take care of the plants. That’s why the garden is so beautiful. All plants and animals here get a lot of care and love from these little helpers too. Now you can help me water the plants”, Henry continued,” because water they must have. This also applies to animals and humans. We all need clean water; otherwise we die. Light and sun are important too. The plants also absorb nutrients from the soil”.
“Light is energy and power for all living beings. The body is made up of small cells, which in turn are tiny living beings. Therefore it’s so important that we take care of our own body and love ourselves, for each individual being is a universe in itself, and all these little beings in our own bodies must have a lot of love too. Therefore, we must love ourselves and give our body a healthy and wholesome diet. Many children eat too many unhealthy things and become overweight. Lack of exercise also plays a role. The girls have their ideals of beauty and eat too little; it’s very harmful too. The middle way is always best”. Henry looked at Ola and said:
“I see that you have a good and warm heart, it shines around you. I'll tell you about the little beings, you saw. Gnomes live in small crevices and caverns and fairies live among the plants. They are invisible to humans”.
“Their bodies consist of cells, which rotates rotate with such great speed that the human eye can’t see them. They live in a different frequency, so to speak, and people should raise their frequency as well, like the Earth”.
“Eventually, more people will be able to see these nature spirits, when, by showing love to others, they will also raise their frequency. There are many other beings who belong on earth, but people can’t yet see them. There are only a few that have such a high frequency. But it will come”.
“Our world is changing, and everything will be different from how it looks today”, said Henry”, It’s happening little by little. All of God's creations on earth will live in peace in the near future and spread love to each other. You should no longer kill others, and no evil thoughts and actions will be retained. The animals must come to live together without chasing each other. They will stop eating their fellow creatures. They don’t need it when they live in a higher frequency”.
Ola was thinking, how often he had eaten other creatures! He had eaten meat from pigs and cows, fish and birds, and they all had blood, brain and heart as he himself have. They could also talk with their thoughts. Many animals were only here, to become food for humans. They often lived in captivity and were many times exposed to cruel treatment. He had seen on TV, how the animals were beaten when they were taken off to slaughter. Several animals were also used for experiments by medical science, and Ola also felt sorry for them.
He didn’t know if it was possible to get mom and dad to understand that it was wrong to eat animals, but he decided to tell them what Henry had said. He wondered if his parents felt that Ola himself thought that this was real. He said goodbye to Henry and hurried over to his own garden. He was excited to see if his parents had perhaps come home from work, and he was eager to tell them about his experiences.
When Ola came home, he saw that both his parents’ cars were parked in the driveway, so he understood that they were home.
He went into the house and took off his shoes. Then he looked into the kitchen, where his mother was just going to prepare the food that they would eat to that day. The father sat at the computer. He worked just as much at home as he did at work. He was a purchasing manager at a large company and had much to do. Ola patted his father on the shoulder and said:
“Hey, Dad, I have something to tell you”.
“Yes, that’s nice, but you must wait a bit, we can talk about it later, I don’t have time right now”, his father replied.
Ola went into the kitchen to his mother to tell her, but neither did she have time to listen to Ola. She was talking on her cell phone at the same time as she cooked the food. She stopped for a moment, looked at Ola and said:
“Ola, please, would you set the table? We will eat in a moment, then you can tell me what you have experienced in school, while we are eating.”
Ola nodded and began to set the table. He knew that his mother would be away in the evening too. She was a member of various associations and was often gone in the evenings. Ola really wished that he had a sibling he could talk to. He was the only child. He had a nice boy's room with everything a healthy boy could wish for. He received many toys, had his own television, and several other things which the parents thought a boy must have. What Ola most preferably wanted though, was more time with mom and dad, so they could talk more with each other and do fun things together.
Now it was time to eat, and his mother called Ola, so he could help her carry the food. Ola took a bowl of potatoes, and the mother came with fried sausage and a bowl of salad. The father sat at the table and took a large piece of sausage, but Ola was content with potatoes and salad.
“What’s the matter with you, Ola?” The mother asked, “Are you sick?”
“No,” Ola replied, and told his mother and father, what he had experienced today, and what Henry had said.
“What is this nonsense?” said the father when he found out that Ola didn’t think that they should eat the animals, which are our fellow beings here on earth. The father got up from the table and said that he indeed had always eaten meat, and that he liked it.
His mother was more hesitant, and felt sorry for the animals, which would be slaughtered and be food for people, and that they just lived their life with this purpose. His mother had also read that meat stayed longer inside the human intestines than vegetables, fruits and cereals. She said that it was also in the article, that many people became ill when they ate meat. They got sore joints, and some got serious diseases. Vegetables are a more easily digested food so when you eat a vegetarian diet, you should not get these diseases!
“I can imagine,” said his mother, “that you and I Ola can make an attempt to switch to a vegetarian diet, because now we have access to fruits and vegetables all year round. Previously, it was necessary to salt some vegetables to store them for the winter, but now everything is available all year round. We need to get vitamins, minerals and proteins as well, but in beans and lentils there is protein just like in meat. I can read a little bit about that so we can live the right way.”
Ola walked up to his room, and his mother went away. His father once again sat at the computer. Ola sat on his bed and thought about everything he had been through during the day. It was difficult to understand why people took advantage of the animals and ate them too. Ola sat quietly and heard a voice within him, who told him to look down at the floor. Ola looked, and there in front of his feet was a small entity which looked up at him. It was a little elf in grey clothes.
“Hello,” said Ola, “where do you come from?”
“I live here, said the elf, I hide myself most of the time, but now I want to talk to you about, how it is in our dimension. We live in a different frequency, and we are all friends with the animals. They can also see us as well as you can, and we love all the animals and help them. There are many of us. Some gnomes live in the wild, and others live in human habitations. We help large and small. We have our families also,” the elf continued “and you may visit my wife and my children.”
The elf clapped his hands and shouted:
“Come out!”
Ola saw how they came out a little shyly from a corner of the room, where he had a shelf with toys.
“May I introduce”? The elf Asked.
“Here’s my wife, Evie, and this is my boy, Thor, and then we have a little girl, Tilly, and I myself am Absalom. We live here, and in the dimension we live, things look different than they do in this room. So we have our home here, but in another dimension.”
“Just look”, said Absalom and snapped his fingers, and in just a second Ola looked in to the other dimension. It was an amazing sight. There were small houses and trees, flowers and plants.
“We can make ourselves invisible, or we can show ourselves to you. The elves out there also have their houses of course but those who can see the elves in the countryside believe that they live behind the rocks; but they enter their own dimension, where they become invisible again. You can visit us there some time. Now at least we have greeted each other, and we'll see you again soon”, said Absalom, and scratched his beard.
“We wish you good night.” Absalom once again snapped his fingers and the whole family disappeared. Ola felt a little sleepy and lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
He dreamed so well. He floated up to the ceiling and saw himself lying there on the bed, and then he flew through the roof and out in the open. He saw all the houses and trees from high above, and he soared higher and higher into the sky. He sat on a cloud, looking down, and there in another cloud sat a little girl. She waved to him. Ola saw that she had wings, so she must be an angel, he thought. She smiled at him, and then she flew up to him and sat beside him on the cloud, where he sat.
“What's your name”? She asked.
“My name is Ola”, he said. “What's your name?”
“My name is Maria”, the angel said, and smiled again.
“Are you a real angel”? Ola asked.
“Yes, you can be sure”, Maria said, and laughed. “We are many angels. Some of us live among you on earth in human bodies, because we have chosen to be among you in physical form. In that way we can better help those who live on earth. The angels’ task is to help; each in its own way.” Ola looked at Maria and was filled with warmth, a strong love streamed towards him from the little angel, who laughed and said:
“We like you so much, all you earth creatures, and we want to help you in every way. I have looked at you when you are sitting under the big oak tree in your garden. I think highly of you, you're a good boy.”
Ola was woken up by a noise from downstairs; it was probably his mother who had come home from her evening course. She took a course to learn a new language. She liked to learn different things all the time.
Now he heard his mother and father talking to each other so Ola went down the stairs and into the kitchen and sat with the parents.
“Have you done your homework, Ola”? Mom asked.
“Yes”, said Ola,”I read them once, when I came home from school.”
“That’s good Ola. That way everything is ready for tomorrow”, Mom said. “Now you can have a sandwich and a little warm milk so you sleep well.”
His mother and father drank a cup of tea and ate a sandwich.
“Now it is probably time to go to bed”, dad said. “You have to be rested when you have a job to do.”
“Yes”, Mom said. “We do have things to attend to whatever employment it is. Ola has his school, and I have my job. Now I pray that we may get a good night's sleep and dream sweet dreams.”
So Ola went up to his room again, but first he brushed his teeth, put on his pyjamas and put his fine-folded clothes on a chair. He lay down under the covers, turned off the bedside lamp and asked that God would help Mom and Dad to cope with all these jobs and tasks. He also wished for all the best for everyone in the school and his friends: Henry, Maria, Absalom and his family. He smiled happily when he thought of them, and after a while he slept.
The next morning, when Ola woke up, he didn’t think so much about what he had been through the day before as he had to pack his school bag, and there was much more to do before he was ready to go to school. This was not far away. His mother and father had left home a while ago and had said goodbye to Ola who now locked the door and began to walk to school.
They would have sport today, but Ola didn’t look forward to that. However he was pleased to learn how to write and count. Regarding the other school subjects, he liked to hear about other countries and learn about how the flowers were made up, and how humans and animals looked inside. He didn’t like sport so much as he was often bullied by other stronger boys because he couldn’t run so fast. When they played football, Ola usually stood in the goal.
Now he saw the school. There was a large red building with an open space in front where the kids went to get fresh air between classes. Behind was the sports ground, where all kinds of ball games took place. He saw that some of his classmates gathered around a person, and Ola went closer and looked on with curiosity. There was a new girl in the class. It looked like Maria, but it couldn’t be her could it? …Ola was completely silent, she didn’t have any wings. Then she met Ola's glance and winked at him. Ola then realized that it was Maria, who was an incarnated angel she had talked about, and that she was here on earth to help people. The bell then rang, and the children went into the school building to the first lesson.
When they entered the classroom something happened. Ola dropped his bag and another boy stumbled over it.
“Oh, sorry”, Ola said.
He was sad because he thought it was his fault that the other boy had fallen and hurt himself. The boy was angry; he stood up and kicked Ola´s bag and said.
“Oh, how stupid and clumsy you are.”
Ola said no more, he took his bag and sat down in his place.
Now the teacher entered the classroom and said good morning to the students. Then he sat down at his desk and opened a textbook. This first lesson was science, and the teacher, Mr Olsson, told the children about the structure of a flower, and about how bees and butterflies and other insects collaborated with the plants, so that they could reproduce.
He also talked about how people manipulated the plants and took genes from some species to put into another. In this way they wanted to create entirely new species. The teacher didn’t think that people would do this, as by growing plants that way they would be dangerous for evolution itself, and for people and animals. It would cause more harm than good.
Ola agreed with Mr. Olsson. He thought that people should not change what God had created. Ola looked at Maria, and she smiled at him. She probably thought the same as him and because she was an angel, if anyone knew what was right and wrong it was her.
When the class was over the children went out into the schoolyard and the boy who had stumbled across Ola´s bag, came up to him and hit him on the back. Ola turned around and saw that Jamie, whom the boy was called, had a stick in his hand, and it was with this, he had beaten Ola.
“Is it necessary to beat me”? Ola asked, “I've asked for forgiveness.”
“Oh, you're stupid lame Ola, you’re not good enough for anything. You can either walk or run”, Jamie smiled mockingly.
He was big and strong, and Ola was afraid of him because he was one of the boys who always bullied Ola.
Ola tried to walk away but Jamie and two other boys followed him, and Jamie pushed Ola so he fell and got a hole in his trousers.
He stood up, but Jamie pushed him down again. Several children got there and they stood around Ola and Jamie. Then Maria came up and said to Jamie:
“You should be ashamed, beating a boy who is shorter than you are, and to additionally tease him because he's a little crippled, which he can’t help. It’s better if you help him instead and show a little love.”
Jamie laughed and became red in the face, and looked ashamed because a girl had reprimanded him. He and the two other boys went away quickly and Maria helped Ola up and brushed off his clothes.
“You shouldn’t bother, ignore them”, said Maria comfortingly, “they don’t understand what they do. They don’t know that when they hurt another, they hit themselves twice as it will return to self - it is the law of karma. It's the same way with the good, when you do well to others it turns back to yourself many times stronger. If all people knew about this they would certainly be kinder to each other.”
The school bell rang, and it was time for the children to go to a new lesson, so Ola and Maria went in to the school building together. Ola was a bit sad. He didn’t mean to have done something wrong, he just happened to drop the bag, and Maria agreed.
This lesson was one Ola had been looking forward to. He liked to learn something about how the world looked. The geography teacher was a very well-travelled man who could tell the children about many things he himself had experienced on his travels, so they learned a lot more than what they could read about in textbooks. He was a young teacher and the children called him Thomas because that’s what the teacher wanted them to do. He spoke about Egypt today, the pyramids and all the pharaohs.
“It was very exciting”, said Ola. “They worshiped different gods, in ancient times, there was also a cat goddess, but not everyone was thinking that way. Some of the people knew inside themselves, that there was only one God, and that everything belonged together. It was a doctrine which the pharaoh Akhenaton wanted to bring up, but few believed him.”
Ola saw for himself how very hard they worked in the sweat of their brow, when they were building the pyramids. It must have been difficult.
Thomas showed pictures from Egypt, and the children asked about different things. Thomas answered their questions as best as he could.
When the school day was over, Maria and Ola walked home together. It turned out that Maria had moved into a house not so far away from Ola´s home. Maria said goodbye to Ola and went into the house, and soon Ola was also home.
He unlocked the door and put his bag in the hall. Then he went into the kitchen and took a sandwich and a cup of tea. He took a textbook and went out into the garden, where he sat on his favourite spot under the oak tree and leaned back towards the trunk. It felt as if the oak tree was an old friend.
Ola let the sun warm his body and thought he had a good life. He was happy and satisfied and sighed deeply with a sense of well-being there he sat and listened to the birdsong and other sounds from the nature. It was as if the oak whispered to him. He listened attentively and heard the words.
“You are my friend, Ola. We are all part of the universe, look, and you shall see.”
Ola looked in front of him and saw tiny fairies who danced in a circle on the grass. They had thin wings and jumped up and down while they danced. Ola thought that they looked nice, and he came to think of what he had seen the day before. The little elves suddenly stopped and looked at the elf who arrived. He had brought a bag with different kinds of things.
The elf sat on the grass and took out things from the bag. There was a spoon, a pencil, a lipstick and some crayons. Ola looked surprised, because he recognized the pencil. It was decorated in different colours, and an eraser, which looked like a pink elephant sat at one end. It was Ola's pen, he had lost it several days ago.
Now he saw that it was Absalom’s son, Thor, who sat there on the grass. Ola smiled to himself and thought that Thor could keep the pen. We must not take things from others, but maybe the goblins didn’t know better. They probably thought that if they saw something they liked, they were allowed to take it.
Ola watched as the fairies danced around Thor who then tried to wave them away. Then a fairy flew up in the air, came down, took the bag and flew away with it. It was not heavy, because all the things were laying on the ground. The bag was empty.
“You see”, the oak whispered, “It’s what’s called karma. Now Thor loses his bag which he was fond of, because he has taken things away from others. The things that they liked. That's life. You should do unto others what you wish them to do to you.”
Ola nodded, he thought it was just right. Suddenly he heard a sound from far away. It sounded like thunder. Ola got up and looked up at the sky, but it was quite bright blue. The sun was shining, and there were only a few white clouds. There was no indication that there would be thunder or rain. Then he discovered that it was Henry, who was passing on the road with a wheelbarrow filled with different kinds of stones
“Hey”, Ola shouted, where are you going?
“I'm on my way home”, said Henry. “I’ve been collecting stones, which I will use when I want to make a small change in the garden. I will make a planting with stones and plants. You can join me if you like.”
“I will so gladly do that”, said Ola and went with Henry in to his garden.
He took a deep breath when he once again saw the beautiful garden. He helped Henry dig and add the stones nicely, so that flowers and other plants could be planted around them.
“I will do it so the insects also thrive”, said Henry. “I don’t squirt poison in the garden, because it’s not good for all the little beings that live here. There are many communities here. Think of the ants, which live in large communities and are working very diligently. They are not stupid, but cooperate and help each other, like bees and many other species. They all have a function in nature.”
Ola told him about the new girl, Maria, who had started in his class, and he also talked about how Jamie had pushed him over. Henry listened attentively and said that some people had a lot of selfishness and lack of love within themselves, and that they were better helped by showing compassion and understanding for the sufferings of others. He also thought that it was nice of Maria, to have helped him. Ola said that he had seen Maria as an angel, and that she had wings when she sat on the cloud.
“It may well be true”, said Henry. “If she is an incarnated angel, she is probably often in her angelic body when she sleeps. We leave the physical body, when we sleep, and then the soul can fly. It is connected to the physical body with a long string of silver, which can be stretched into the infinite. You can fly to other countries or to the spiritual world.”
“When this string brakes, you leave the physical body for good. Then, what we call death happens when the physical body ceases to function.
The etheric body lives on, and is a copy of the physical body, but has a higher frequency, so it is invisible to the physical eye in general. The etheric body can see and hear, and often a person doesn’t understand that he is dead, particularly if this happens suddenly. He can see and hear, and first when he sees his physical body, he realizes that he is in his etheric body.”
“Some souls still don’t understand, and find it difficult to leave life on earth”, Henry continued, “and there are those who wander around in ancient castles and other buildings. They have lived there once and continue their lives as before. They don’t know that they should leave the earthly life and go to the other side. They can be helped by the angels to come home, if they want to, because the spiritual world is their real home. They belong there and stay there between incarnations. The souls which will not move on are what we call ghosts.”
They continued their work placing rocks and plants, and Henry said:
“People live many lives. They incarnate again and again. You could say that life on earth is a school, because they come to earth to learn how to show love and to help other. They learn from their mistakes. They have always been there, and we all have the spark of God in our hearts. No one is better than another. We are all equal, and we should learn from each other. It’s difficult for many to understand the meaning of life, but it is to learn and to develop. Understand that there is only one God, and that all religions are basically the same thing. They have different names, but they all believe in the same God, the Most High.”
Ola understood very well that what Henry said was true. It all sounded so logical, and Ola wished that all people would be aware of this. Ola also knew that unfortunately there were people who said they didn’t believe in God, but when they ended up in an emergency, they asked for help from God anyway. It came from their inner self. So deep down, Ola thought, they knew the truth anyway.
When he thought of this, he was surprised that so many people could live without knowing that there was a God.
He thought that all people must be able to understand that the world, people, animals and nature couldn’t have created themselves. Everything was so carefully calculated. Ola sighed deeply and said:
“I wish that there were only good people.”
“The good and the evil complete each other”, Henry said, “if evil didn’t exist, people wouldn’t knew what goodness was. It's like night and day, as light and darkness. You can try to be good yourself, even if others treat you bad. If you retaliate, the other will retaliate back, and so it goes on. It is like that with wars and other miseries. You should retaliate any injustice. Those who fight, are not so developed, and they only aggravate their situation. When they give love back instead and forgive those who did them wrong, they will grow and develop themselves for the better.”
Ola thought a little about this and promised himself that when he saw Jamie he would think of him with kindness, and forgive him, because Jamie didn’t understood, what consequences it had, when doing bad to others. Ola almost felt sorry for him.
They were almost finished with the flowerbed, when Henry said to Ola that if Maria felt like it, Ola could bring her one day, when he visited Henry in the garden. She was welcome too. Henry would like to say hello to her. It was late, and Ola had to go home. He thought that his parents would have returned from work. He said goodbye to Henry and went home. He patted lovingly at the oak tree, as he passed it, and once inside the house he saw that his mother was in the kitchen making dinner.
Ola saw to his surprise that many different vegetables and fruits lay on the kitchen table.
“Hello Ola”, said the mother, “here you can see what I bought today on the way home. Here is a variety of vegetarian dishes. They look like meat but are made of mushroom, soybeans, nuts and more. Here is mincemeat sauce, meatballs, sausage and schnitzel. It will be interesting to taste these dishes, and we should have plenty of vegetables and a slice of bread too.”
Ola helped his mother to prepare the vegetables, and he made the salad all by himself. The mother fried a piece of meat for his father, because he wouldn’t hear about eating vegetarian food. He got his piece of meat and potatoes, and he really liked the salad. Ola and his mother ate vegetarian Bolognese sauce and spaghetti. They also took some salad. They both thought that the food tasted good.
“It was a good start”, said the mother, “now it will be exciting to try one of the other dishes tomorrow.”
The phone rang, and his mother took the phone and handed it to Ola.
“It's for you, Ola”, she said, “it sounds like a girl, but I didn’t get hold of her name.”
Ola took the phone and was pleasantly surprised when he heard that it was Maria who called.
“Hello, Ola”, said Maria, “you'll have to excuse me for calling you at this hour. I hope I didn’t disturb you in the middle of dinner.”
“No, it’s all right”, said Ola, “we have just finished eating.”
Maria smiled:
“I can imagine, that you should do your homework now, or you may already have done it?”
“No”, said Ola, “I was visiting a neighbour and helped him in his garden. He would like to say hello to you, if you feel like going with me to Henry one day?”
“Yes, I would like that very much”, said Maria, “but now I call to ask you, if we could do our homework together at my home. If you feel like it, you are welcome.”
Ola said yes, and they agreed that he would come in a while. Ola asked his mother when he had to be home, and then he brought his books and went off to Marias house. It would be interesting to see Maria's room and see how she lived.
When Ola rang on the doorbell, a dog was barking, and when the door opened, Maria stood there with a little white dog, a Western Terrier, who jumped up and down and barked.
“Be quiet, Bella”, said Maria, laughing, “come inside Ola, then she`ll calm down.”
Ola stepped into the hall, and Bella wagged her tail and went ahead of them, when they went into the house and up the stairs.
“Here's my room” said Maria. “Bella is also here, when I'm home.”
Maria's room was beautiful with blue wallpaper covered with white clouds. The bed was covered with a dark blue bedspread decorated with blue stars. She had many books, and they stood neatly on a white bookshelf. She also had various trinkets, including many delicate angel figurines. The furniture was white and blue. She had no television and no computer. However, she had a vase full of roses she had certainly picked in the garden.
“It’s mighty nice”, said Ola.
“Come, sit here”, said Maria, pointing on a chair beside the desk. Maria took place at the desk, and they took out the books. It was the history books, because Maria hadn’t yet had a history lesson, so she wondered how far they had come in the book.
Ola explained that they had come to the First World War, and read about the war and all of its horrors and atrocities. They began to study and talked about what they had read.
“It's silly to make war”, said Ola. “I don’t understand, why it’s always war on earth here or there. The people ought to be wiser than that.”
Maria nodded in agreement and said:
“Let’s hope that love spreads between people, so they don’t want to fight each other. When the soldiers stand with their weapons, wanting to destroy others, it would be better if instead, they could dematerialize their weapons with love so they disappeared. Then they stood there and felt ashamed instead.”
They read and questioned each other about homework. When they had learned it, they put away the books, and Maria said that she would go and get a cup of tea and a piece of apple pie for them.
“That sounds nice”, said Ola, who was feeling a little hungry again.
Maria came back with tea and a cake, and they sat and chatted while they drank their tea. Suddenly Bella yelled and stood up from the bed, where she laid. She stared in to the corner of the room, a little bit upwards. She growled and barked again.
“What is it now, Bella”? Maria asked and picked up Bella on to her knee, “what do you see there?”
Bella had been silent and laid peacefully beside Maria, who continued:
“It's probably a visit from the spiritual world. They look after us sometimes and follow us. Our deceased relatives and friends can visit us and see how we are. We all have a spiritual guide and someone who protects us. They follow us from birth to death. They are always with us, love us and want only the best for us.”
“It feels safe to know”, said Maria and continued:
“I think, it's my sister, looking after me. She was two years older than me, and she drowned when I was four years old. She had gone to a small lake covered with ice, and she fell through the ice. When they found her, it was too late to save her life. It was a great sorrow for all of us, when Sonya went away. But I know that she keeps on living in her second body, and looks after me now and then.”
“At night, when I sleep, I often dream about her, and how we play together in a wonderful world of magnificent scenery and beautiful flowers and colours,” Maria ended.
It was late now, and Ola was preparing to go home. It had been fun to visit Maria, and he was surprised that she had so many books, and asked if she had read them all.
“No, I haven’t”, Maria replied, “We inherited them from my grandparents. My grandmother read a lot, and I really like to read, too. One cannot acquire too much knowledge.”
Grandma always said that it’s the only thing you are allowed to take with you when you leave the physical body. All knowledge from all past life’s are preserved for us after death.
Maria took out a book, which she felt that Ola should read. He thanked her and put the book in his bag. He said that he was glad to go home and read some of the book before going to bed. Now he must go home, because he had promised his mother that he would come home at ten o'clock. He said goodbye to Maria and Bella who had had followed him to the front door, and also to Marias parents, who sat in the living room.
“Have a good evening, Ola”, said Maria. “See you at school tomorrow, and let’s hope that we will remember the history lesson.”
Ola hurried home, and he was glad that it was light longer in the evenings. It was the month of August, so it would change soon. It was daylight now, and all clocks were set forward one hour during summer, so people had long, light evenings. It was nice Ola thought, then they didn’t need so much electricity.
When Ola came home, he saw that his mother and father were sitting and drinking coffee, and he proudly said that he had been drinking tea at Marias place. He told them about Bella, who barked when he arrived, but otherwise it was very peaceful. Ola walked up to his room after saying good night to his parents. He was going to take a look in the book which he had borrowed from Maria. It looked to be exciting. It was called "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and was about the living conditions of blacks in America many years ago.
He made himself ready for bed, brushed his teeth and put on his pyjamas. He made himself comfortable in his bed with the book and was just about to start reading when he heard a sound from the floor beneath the bed. Ola looked down and saw, to his surprise, that Absalom had come, and now he stood and tried Ola´s slippers. Ola laughed. The slippers were of course too big for Absalom.
“Hello”, said Ola, “are you thinking about stealing my slippers?”
“No”, said Absalom,” I was just going to try them on, oh, they are so soft. Most of the time I use clogs, and I often get hard skin under my feet because of that.”
“I can give you a little foam rubber, which you can put in your clogs”, said Ola.
Then he told Absalom, that he had seen Thor with different things, which he had taken from the house, but that he was welcome to keep them.
“I will talk to Thor”, said Absalom, “he can’t steal things from others.”
Ola found a piece of foam and cut it so it fit the shoe soles of Absalom’s clogs.
“Thank you so much”, said Absalom, beaming with joy, as he examined the soles of the clogs, “it was nice, now they are soft and good to wear, bye!
Then he disappeared, but now Ola had become so sleepy that he completely gave up on reading. He turned off the light and was soon asleep. He dreamed about Bella and Maria.
