ResumoWhen you are dead [the heavenly messengers] want these notebooks so that they can see what they are going to do [with you]. You can't go to heaven without [them].... It's just like having a ticket for the train.... When you are dead, they take you to the graveyard. You are not going to go [to heaven] because you haven't got a ticket. You've got to work for it, work for that ticket in this world, because they say that in heaven it is done just as it is in the world. M. Buthelezi, Soweto, 15 Feb.1992
