317: Lotifar

This head has to carry out a difficult task in the zone girdling the earth. It is his job to prevent people from committing suicide by warning them through their inner voice and by diverting them, if possible, from their plans. By the help of his subordinates he inspires people who are in hopeless misery, distress or disappointment, with the fact that life is something holy and cannot be replaced by anything. Lotifar has saved millions of people from suicide by way of intuition, by having inspired them with a good idea, or by having created a situation which drove away their suicidal thoughts at the last mo- ment. People who could not be diverted from their plans and who layed hands on oneself are watched by Lotifar and his subor- dinates so that they do not re-gain their complete consciousness in the astral world before their normal life-time on this earth has elapsed. When the suicide awakes from his state of twilight sleep, another head who is responsible for the reincarnation of man, starts looking after him. That head then sees to it that the suicide is embodied into circumstances under which he is able to catch up truly what he should have learned on earth by his fate. Every person planning suicide should be reasonable that it really is a great foolishness to wish to make a premature end to one's life, for by this act of will one cannot change one's fate in any way; quite the contrary is the case: one merely prolongs unnecessarily the time of the training and schooling of one's spirit, and at the same time prolongs one's suffering.
