Dedication Dedication We would like to dedicate this book to our fellow human beings and in particular to those who are seeking orientation and questioning the meaning of their lives, who are open to the secrets of life, who are striving to find the truth, who believe in goodness, but have not yet found it, who are disillusioned by their situation in life and are seeking consolation, who are looking for a faith that carries conviction, who are not really convinced by what the churches preach.

Foreword Foreword Herr and Frau Kloevekorn spent more than four decades on a quest to discover the secrets of life. As people involved in creative activities – she as an artist, he as an architect − they searched for and found answers to many questions of life. Among the conclusions they came to was the following: ‘Life exists independently of material. The essence of life is not to be found in material. Life is something that transfuses material. Life uses material to express itself. We human beings use the activity of our minds, our spirits, to inform our bodies, in order to comprehend the world, in order to learn, so that we, as living Spirits, are bound up with material. Among the insights that help us to understand life is the recognition that we exist in a relationship of tension between forces that influence us, and it is up to us to decide how we will conduct ourselves in respect of these forces.’ The first part of the book contains a concise overview of vital concepts that are needed to gain an understanding of ‘life’. Many of the secrets that life holds for us can be deciphered using sources from the spheres of eternal life, and so afford the reader valuable assistance in reaching a better understanding of life here on earth. In the second part of the book, ‘Source of Living Water’, some of the messages communicated by Walter Eckert, whose conceptions have been essential in shaping the content of this book, are being published for the first time. Walter Eckert helps people today to live their lives in such a way that they can experience hope once again. The reader can use the sources listed at the end of the book to go into the subject matter more deeply and thereby win further insights for his or her own life.
