Whatever happens in the other life, such as punishments, purgings, and many more things, all and the very least tend toward the goal of developing societies [whose members] harmonize as if they were one person, and this takes place only through a love for the Lord and thus for one's companions. This love is never achieved when one person wants to be greater than the other, which results in disunion and rejection, nor when one wants to stand out above the others in some respect. On the contrary, it is achieved when one wants to be the least, and to serve the rest. Thus when all mutually want to serve one another, they are united, and each receives happiness from everyone individually, and thus from the whole. These words were spoken in the presence of spirits and souls. 1748, the 9th day of February.
