About the work

In Earth and Moon, Jakob Lorber describes the Earth as a living organism with material and spiritual dimensions. He connects its outer form with a hidden inner world and its spiritual relationships.

Within the Earth he depicts a world of powerful elemental forces. Their activity forms part of an ordered process of development that brings together natural processes and spiritual growth.

Lorber portrays the Moon as a place of spiritual correction under the Lord’s guidance, where worldly inhabitants of Earth are received after the death of their physical bodies. His portrayal of the two celestial bodies thus opens onto questions about the afterlife and the development of the soul.
