What is the Land of Remorse?

A spirit’s journey to the Land of Remorse is undertaken voluntarily and shortens the pathway of progression. 

In the Land of Remorse, the true nature of your earthly life and its mistakes are clearly realised and prove a great means of progression for your soul. Here you see your past actions displayed in all their nakedness.

In this land, your life is stored up as pictures, which mirrored in the spiritual atmosphere reflect the reasons of your many failures and show the subtle causes at work, which have shaped your life.

Each passes through a severe and keen self-examination―a bitter experience of its own nature, its own self, but though bitter, it is a salutary medicine and goes far to heal the soul of those maladies, which hang about it like a miasma.

Those whose errors have been merely trivial―daily weaknesses such as are common to us all do not pass through it―there are other means to enlighten them to the source of their mistakes.

This land is particularly useful to individuals who recognise readily and admit freely their wrong, and so rise to better things.

Like a strong tonic, this circle of the sphere would be too much for weak erring spirits who would only be crushed and overwhelmed and disheartened by the too rapid and vivid realisation of all their sins―

These must be taught slowly, step-by-step, a little at a time, while those of strong heart and courage are able to rise more rapidly the sooner they see and recognise the nature of those fetters which have bound their soul.

In the spirit world where time is not reckoned by days or weeks or counted by hours, spirits judge how long an event takes or when an occurrence happens by seeing how near or how far away they appear, and also by observing whether the shadow cast by the coming event touches the earth or is yet distant from it―

They judge what its corresponding time will be, as measured by earthly standards, but even the wisest may not always be able to do this with perfect correctness since many things may intervene to delay it.
