What is a mighty big piece of luck?

You know when you are in spirit life―

Death seems such an ordinary commonplace kind of thing―

There is no terror in it from our point of view because we know it is only the commencement of a life that is so much freer and infinitely more full of enjoyment. 

We look upon the death of the body as a mighty big piece of luck for the man when he has done his duty, as far as he saw it, while on the earth-plane. 

And even for those who wasted the opportunities of their earth-life and deliberately set aside every good impulse and unselfish endeavour, it is not the bugbear that many people think, although for souls of that description, it does mean a very long and arduous discipline. 

On every plane, the fact of life is really preparation for still higher planes of existence until the consummation is reached, and we become as Gods, knowing good and evil―in other words―Christs.
