Where does true wisdom come from?

What awaits your arrival on the spirit plane?

What awaits your arrival on the spirit plane?

You will hardly be able to fully understand it until you come. In the busy material life, the soul usually fails to comprehend the grandeur of the Creator's great plan. You may at times think you have glimpses of this plan, but they are reflections only—the full light never reaches you. It is something to feel that there is a Creator—it is a pleasure to imagine there is a plan, but the full significance awaits your arrival on the spirit plane.

How do you shed the clutter of the personality?

But I am trying to shed some of the clutter of the personality. We all have to do that. And there are three ways in which to carry it out here. 

By self-judgment and true assessment of experiences, by service to one’s fellows and by aspiration.

Not so different, you will say, from the earth life after all! But oh, with so many, many compensations!

—Spirit Sister Frances Banks

What are the first views of the spirit world?

Here is presented to the astonished gaze a most superb view of the countryside, a vast territory, extending far away into the distance. Did you ever see anything like it or even remotely approaching it in beauty?

Gracious heavens―those two words are a complete description if ever there was one.

You can see many people interspersed about the countryside, some close at hand, others at a distance―some in small groups, others in larger, and individuals either seated or walking alone. 

Of absolute, positive idling, I do not think you will find a trace because no one―no one ever feels the slightest inclination to do nothing simply by virtue of an indolent nature. There are no indolent natures here. 

Spirits are always occupied in some way, but that does not mean that this is a life of eternal work, as opposed to the old and still current idea of eternal rest. They all, every one of them, have their time off, and no one will come and tell them it is time to start work again in the earthly sense. They have all the recreation they need and desire, and they come and go as they please. There are millions of spirits here, with no overcrowding either, that even as there is plenty to do, there are plenty of people to do it. 

Everything in the way of knowledge is to be found somewhere there, and a thousand accomplishments can be gained there.
