What is the meaning of the fear of the Lord?

If a spirit—or mortal will not seek wisdom, it must remain ignorant—

If it will not cherish love, it will certainly hate—If it cares not for truth, it will be false and deceitful. 

We have all this here, as you do on earth. 

A man who comes here in ignorance is ignorant still. If he is filled with hate, he hates still. If he has been a falsifier, he is false still. If a sensualist, he is sensual still— 

And so of every faculty pertaining to the soul.

—Spirit Herr Franz in Letters from the Spirit World
