You cannot change your character at the moment of death.

I have not been here long; I have lost none of my interest in the affairs of mortal existence. It is a wonderful change, and my mind has been so filled with the new sights and scenes, the new phases of existence, that I have not had time to be lonely.

I have learned one thing already that it seems to me the earth people should be told.

It is that you cannot change your character at the moment of death.

What you have made of yourself during your earth life determines what you will be here to a very large extent.

I suppose one who was malicious or criminal there will in time change his character here, but the characteristics, which caused him to turn to an evil life there, will be his strong characteristics here and he will have to learn how to turn these to better use.

I think this point is not at all realised on earth. Those who believe the Bible teachings are too often filled with the idea that repentance will remake them, no matter what kind of a life they lived. And those who do not have this idea are usually lacking in any conclusion on the subject.

I think I would also like to tell the earth people that it is not hard to pass through the gates of death. I found nothing that should cause any dread and I am told that there should be no fear by anyone.
