We must earn all things before we can enjoy them

We must earn all things before we can enjoy them.

You may not enjoy heaven alone, you must help others to enjoy it with you; the heavens here are just what the angels make them. Heaven does not create itself; the natural heaven exists the same as the natural earth, but if man remained on earth in the natural or savage state, he would never rise much above the wild animals; if spirits remained crude and ignorant here, there would be no heaven. Most of the souls that come here are crude and ignorant; they do not know how to create their share of heaven, and must first be taught by those wiser than themselves; and if those on the earth did not receive wisdom direct from the angel world, there would be no progression there, and man would remain on a level with the brute.
