The mode of spirit life differs materially and in many essential points from life in the form.
When one steps from earth to the spirit world, all connected with their sphere of usefulness is changed to occupation of the mind.
The variety of minds thrown, as it were, upon their own resources for employment often suffer more unhappiness than from any other one feature in spirit life.
Spirits often linger around their home scenes because they do not know what else to do.
They are fitted for no other scenes, therefore, are prepared to enjoy nothing beyond.
This is not what a progressive spirit desires.
The inclination of the spirit must be for good or else it does not obtain it. They must have decided firmness, founded upon a desire for elevation, prompted by acts towards other spirits resulting in their good.
If this is not cherished, the spirit soon finds that the laws governing spirit cause it to gravitate to a plane suited to its capacities. Hence, cultivation of the mind is necessary and inseparable to the happiness of the spirit. Mind also recognises spirit.
Spirits soon discern the development of the freed spirit whether his mind has been led in a channel suited to his spiritual welfare or not.
He soon finds himself surrounded by those possessing the same grade of intellect as himself.
Thus, he is drawn by his affinity to that class because he is prepared to enjoy no other, such has been his early life, and such are the laws governing mind.
