A conversation shared through telepathy between two close friends, one still living in the physical realm of Earth and the other who passed into a higher realm beyond.

“It might be of use to clarify illusory ideas on the states of Heaven and Hell which have been fostered through the centuries.
There are Heavens . . . I myself can vouch for the little heaven of beauty, tranquillity and loving service which it has been my happy lot to contract here. But there are Spheres of unimaginable joy and beauty beyond . . . building up and extending out of every state of development . . . right on, I believe, to the Spiritual Worlds of Divine Thought, far beyond any conception you and I can have of them.
Such is the progress of the soul towards these Spheres of Perfection and it is assuring to realise that we have all Eternity in which to journey onwards and ‘upwards’.
But there are also Hells though certainly differing from the physical hells and everlasting fiery torments of man’s warped imagination. There are hells of the spirit and the mind, confining states of misery; dark, depressing, and as real as the tortured consciousness of the dweller therein, makes them. Yet these hells are not eternal.
The man (or woman) in these mental torments need stay there no longer than his desires keep him. He is free to resist the hatreds, cruelties, lusts of his lower nature which he has retained from his earth life and which are keeping him in dark dungeons amid like-minded inhabitants. He can always choose to follow the Light of Love, Forgiveness and Harmony, and always there are developed souls ready to help, to guide, to comfort and to assist.
No soul is ever left comfortless unless he wishes it.
That sounds like a paradox, but then much that we learn here on the higher plane is very different from the teachings of man, even good men who are limited in their ideas. Existence on earth is a state of living in a thought world, illusory, and much restricted and enclosed by the glamorous web of matter.
Beyond physical death the thought world is more apparent and certainly far more potent in its effects. Cause and Effect is still the Law on this higher plane of astral matter, as it is on earth. I understand that only as the soul proceeds onward in its progress into still Higher Realms can this Law be superseded, and then other and higher Laws must be obeyed.”
