Our Spiritual Home

Our spiritual home has its spheres or belts which surround and separate each from the other, or it may be called chemical atmosphere, causing a separation from earth and from each sphere, yet being connected by electric and magnetic forces. To explain, we are, as you have been told by other spirits, in separate spheres, with spaces intersecting each other—every space supplied with matter to sustain elements necessary for the requirement of such circle or sphere. Those who are within a certain sphere are surrounded by a belt, holding them absolutely aloof from others—none passing, only through permission or aid of guides who deem them sufficiently harmonised to adapt themselves to the laws of that sphere.

I do not wish to convey the idea that they are all of one mind or talent—for they are as varied in organisation, talent or aspirations as the flowers of the field—but they are all on the plane of spirituality as one, or a band or class. As they become prepared to enter another sphere, they are ushered into the next higher with great rejoicing, where they are received and accorded their position, preparatory to a still higher unfoldment.
