What does it mean to live in the Spirit?

Spirit life is only a continuation of the life you leave. 

After all, how can you pass directly from partaking food thrice daily, for perhaps sixty or seventy years, to a life where there is no such thing as food? 

How can you, after bathing for this length of time, pass directly into a life where such a thing as a bath was never thought of? 

Almost the first thing that spirits do after resting a short time is to plunge into the first water they find, and they are usually led or placed by superior beings or guiding angels who receive their souls near a stream of water or lake for this purpose—

If you are an adult, you are then left alone until your bath is over, for you usually take your bath in private and it makes the newborn spirit feel more at ease and at home. 

Shortly after that, you are hungry and desire food. 

This event is more social, and you eat and drink for the first time with near and dear friends who have preceded you to the spirit. 

A child that is born into earth life is first washed, then dressed and shortly afterwards given food—at the same time, it begins its first little lessons in its new life—it begins to observe and learn—it is very hungry, both for sustenance and knowledge. 

Your earth life is merely a type on a small-beginning scale, of the higher and superior life, and whatever you do in this life, you do in spirit on a grander scale.
