What realm are spirits in?

The lower zone begins on the earth's crust.

After physical death, great multitudes of obsessed entities remain in that misty region adjacent to the earth's physical sphere.

The lower zone is a place where negative mental residues are destroyed.

It is a sort of purgatory where the illusions acquired by neglecting the sublime opportunity of an earthly life is gradually burned away. 

There you find compact legions of irresolute and ignorant souls, not wicked enough to be relegated to colonies of harder expiation, nor sufficiently virtuous to be admitted to higher planes.

Those countless inhabitants of the lower zone are close companions to incarnate men and women, separated from them only by vibratory laws.

It is no wonder that such places are characterised by serious disturbances.

There rebellious spirits are grouped together, forming invisible nuclei of extraordinary power, owing to the concentration of their common tendencies and desires.

The lower zone is full of such desperate creatures who after physical death are disappointed at not finding the Lord ready to satisfy their every whim.

Entities in the lower zone form a spiritual community, but their community is peopled with many different types of frustrated, idle and perverse entities. It is the threshold, a zone of tyranny and bondage, of exploiters and exploited, even in the shadows and ordeals of the lower zone, Divine protection never fails its inhabitants.

Each spirit remains there just the necessary time, no more, no less.

The lower zone is in close connection with the incarnate plane and you will see there the net of invisible wires connecting it to human minds.

It is peopled with disincarnated entities and the thought forms of those still on earth.

Every spirit is a nucleus to radiating forces, which can create, transform or destroy, manifesting as vibrations, and thus whoever is thinking is emitting positive or negative forces and is constructing or destroying something somewhere.

It is by means of those mental currents that spirits establish connection with entities in the lower zone whose tendencies are in accordance with their own because every soul is a powerful magnet.

Spirit missionaries have to withstand heavy fluids emitted by thousands of minds obsessed in the practice of evil or terribly chastised by redeeming ordeals.

A great deal of courage and a superior capacity for self-sacrifice are necessary to be able to help those who are still unable to understand and appreciate the assistance offered them.

Love, and only love, is the source of sustenance for the soul. The more you ascend along the evolutionary purpose and plan of creation, the more thoroughly you understand this great truth.

God's infinite love is the centre of equilibrium of all creation. Depend exclusively on love. We all move about in it and no existence would be possible without it.

Love one another! When Jesus taught this principle, He did not refer only to charity in its strictest sense, for all have to learn sooner or later that the practice of good is simply a duty, that is, to sustain one another through brotherly love and sympathy.

Friendly words, mutual kindness and trust, understanding and fraternal interest―all fruits of deep love are stimulating nourishment to life itself.

Realise that lasting and harmonious happiness is a question of purely spiritual sustenance. Here, however, life presents a different aspect. We have to conquer our old weaknesses and rectify injustices.

Nothing, but edifying work endows the spirit with the indispensable merit to claim any new prerogatives.

The chrysalis adheres to inert matter, but the butterfly will rise from it in easy flight. The seed is almost imperceptible, although it is to become the giant oak. The withered flower returns to the earth, but its perfume abides in the air.

All embryonic life appears to sleep.

When we consider other people's misfortune in the light of our own imperfections, there is always room for brotherly love in our heart.

On earth our family experiences are the means of teaching us real spiritual love.

We must bear in mind that there is only one Father who is truly eternal―God. But the Lord of Life grants us the blessed opportunity of fatherhood and motherhood on earth so that we may learn perfect brotherly love. They are the temples of sublime union, a preparation for universal solidarity. We have to struggle and suffer a great deal before acquiring the title of brother in the real sense of the word.

The whole creation is but one family under the loving care of only one Father.
