Many mansions?

Verily, I say unto you, Unless a man be born again, he cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

This heaven, this Summerland, which Christ spoke of lies far beyond this material sphere, and cannot be reached until the individual spirit has developed sufficient self-sustaining power.

We must live many lives to perfect ourselves for the spiritual spheres. Then again, In my Father's house are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you.

Those mansions vary in degree, they are conditions applicable to the mortal nature of man attainable according to his degree of unfoldment.

There are many who enter those mansions or degrees and live centuries satisfied with the conditions they have attained on earth.

Presently on awakening to the reality, a desire to advance develops itself, and they find to accomplish it, they must return and work out effectually experiences on this material plane.

This material sphere, being in close proximity with those conditions, add and take, according to the development of the spirit while in the material form.

There are many failures in those experiences. Immortals return with a desire to accomplish a purpose.
