All life enters into the first spititual zone.

All life—when it leaves its physical material abode at death—whether it be of the mineral, vegetable or animal kingdom—enters into the first spiritual zone—there to await its reincarnation in some other physical material form accordant with the laws of nature.

The first spiritual zone is so nearly earth-like in appearance—due to the presence of all kinds of disembodied life—that some spirit-lives are not at first conscious that they have passed over into a new world of life.

In the first spiritual zone, there is mineral life—as natural as that of the mineral in the physical material world—and vegetable life—and the life of all the different animals, including that of man.

The first spiritual zone is largely a receiving zone for earthbound life, though there is much life here that has attained to a sufficient vitality, strength and spiritual development to proceed upward toward and into the second spiritual zone.
