God's just not that into us : The dead are more real and alive than we are

Rudolf Steiner:  "In accompanying the dead in the way described we experience everything on a magnified scale; everything appears to be more intensely real. By comparison, the phenomenal world leaves a nebulous impression. To anyone who is associated with the world of the dead through initiate consciousness, the physical world appears like a painted masquerade, and an initiate who, through meditation, has been closely associated with the dead in this way would say: You are all painted masks. There is no reality about you; you are simply painted masks sitting on your chairs. True reality is only found beyond the realm of physical existence — and this reality can be experienced here and now."
