Near-Death Experiences

According to Jakoby, this experience is accompanied by a perception of a rapid transformation of things, such as an extremely fast succession of events, or an increase in spiritual/mental experiences. One may say, “I feel as if things are now happening in a week that in the past would have taken two or more years to occur.”

In his present work Principles of the Beyond (Gesetze des Jenseits), Jakoby primarily addresses such themes, which are related to man’s inner processes rather than the death event itself.

“Those are precisely the processes when people once more comprehend that they have a soul, not that they are a soul, and it is meaningful to once again seek contact with our soul from which we receive our impulses. The knowledge I disseminate is actually inherent in everyone. All of us have this inner voice, but for many, it needs re-discovering. They can really sense it when the need for it is there. That’s the focus of my present work— spiritual themes,” Jakoby said.

“We will never be able to prove with complete certainty the existence of the beyond by using scientific methods. Life and death will remain a mystery at a certain juncture. But when one studies the fundamental processes of the death event, when one has experienced it oneself, then one simply knows that this is not merely a physical thing, but that it also has a mind/spirit aspect that is far more important.

“The non-material dimension is real, and that’s basically what people have been aware of throughout the ages. I think this kind of knowledge must be taught in schools. We must include such studies in universities and hospices. If man denies the spirit or the soul, when man does not comprehend that he is a spiritual being, then nothing makes sense.

“What is it that animates us? It’s the god-spark in us. It’s love, in the form of compassion, and spirit. And the spirit is greater than the intellect. But we have completely covered our spirit up with the intellect, to the point where we can no longer perceive the spirit and, like zombies, clamor only after the outer-worldly things. This specific bond of compassion and spirit, the inner voice, is something that all of us yearn for, but are generally unable to find here," he continued.
