In this channeling session from Sylvia Leifheit’s series Messages from Beyond, Sylvia (a medium who survived a near‑death experience) converses with a non‑physical entity identified as Speaker B. The dialogue centers on the nature of joy and its role in spiritual evolution. Speaker B describes joy as the “elixir of life” and a cosmic power that connects the soul to the Source, emphasizing that true joy is luminous, loving, and elevates the soul. The entity distinguishes this soulful joy from ego‑driven pleasure, labeling the latter as a futile, negative energy that creates harmful resonances and does not uplift the soul. Listeners are urged to be mindful of the type of joy they experience, to cultivate genuine, heart‑centered joy, and to avoid power games or revenge that generate negative resonances. The session concludes with a teaser for the next topic, “the enemies of life,” which Speaker B promises to explore in a future episode. The overall purpose is to instruct listeners on recognizing, cultivating, and living in true joy as a pathway to spiritual elevation.

Dear human, dear soul, I welcome you to my podcast series Messages from Beyond. Since a near-death experience, I have had the gift of communicating with the subtle levels of the cosmos in a form of deep meditation in which I ask certain beings from the other world to communicate with me. As one of the first contacts to the afterlife, my old friend and teacher, friend of the Indians, showed himself to me, and it is now a great pleasure for me to introduce you to the conversations here as a supplement to the books. Please excuse me if the terms and our articulations are not perfect. Our mother tongue is German, but we try to translate it to the best of our ability. Thank you for understanding. What would you like to tell us about joy?
Joy is the elixir of life for the soul. Joy is the power of the cosmos. Joy is the elixir of life of the cosmos. Only those who feel joy are connected to the love of the cosmos together with all of you. Love is light. When you experience joy, you feel the power inside of you that is in discreible. And this power is ultimately a cosmic power that can live on inside you. Through joy, you are connected to the Source of all Being that gives life lovingly, luminously, and joyfully to the souls and the forms that create the energies. This is more powerful than I can put into words. Therefore, I like pointing out again and again that joy is really important. Live joy in your life's every day, every moment. Live joy again and again and more and more, for it is the cosmic power that elevates your soul. When you live in an elevated state, you will be able to make experiences that are full of light after your body has died and even before. The luminous levels are full of joy, but you can only attain them if you are full of joy.
You said that very beautifully, but there are also people who feel joy when they cause harm to the other people. Or let's say they enjoy themselves. What would you like to say about that?
This is not the joy of the soul. This is the pleasure of the ego, and not really even that, for it is ego power and lovelessness that these people experience, and this power will not elevate your soul or the person's emotions in the slightest. It is a futile energy for the soul because it uses up a lot of strength, because it will need to be balanced out eventually, and no one knows when and where this compensation will happen. Therefore, this kind of negative joy, as I will call it here, is anything but full of light or desirable. You need to be very clearly aware of which kind of joy you feel. It's not the pleasure of the ego that craves the experience of power games and unkindness that you should seek. It's the joy of life that strives to act luminously and full of love that will elevate you. Everything that allows you to create negative resonances will perpetuate negative resonances until you balance these. Therefore, please take care that the joy that you experience does not have any negative impact on others, nor creates any negative resonances because it inflicts suffering upon them. The joy of the soul does not create negative resonances in others. It is a profound loving joy that comes from the heart. This is the joy that I mean.
So you mean— I mean, so this means that when humans enter into power games and play at revenge or such things, that this is not the luminous loving elevation that you mean, because There were negative resonances, right?
That's right.
Would you like to say something else about joy?
You came here to experience joy. You must never forget this, ever. People live too many lives that are full of suffering and not at all joyful. I would like to reach you with my words in this state that you are in right now. Please bring more joy into your lives, no matter how this experience of true choice comes about. But it is important and essential for you.
What will you talk about next?
The enemies of life.
The enemies of life? What is that?
The enemies of life are an integral part of human existence. You have to know that such energies live in the cosmos and that they, just like a certain type of animal, kill in order to live because they do not feel connected. You must protect yourselves from these entities. This matter of protection is very close to my heart. Therefore, let me write about the enemies of life Tomorrow!
Okay— thank you very much?
Thank you indeed, Sylvia Leifheitheitheitaitaiitiiiaiitaaahh... Love.
