More and more people on the brink of death are being resuscitated, due to the advances of modem medicine. On some occasions the person actually dies for a few moments and in that time many have had wonderful experiences. On being resuscitated they recall these events and what most of these people describe have a great similarity with one another. This gives us a reasonable good idea of what happens at death.

Also we know that over many years mediums have experienced and received inspiration and teachings from their Spirit Guides and these are published and well documented. We are told that before incarnation the individual selects a 'Guardian Angel’ guides and helpers who will watch over the individual whilst in physical form. We all have eternal life and there is an opportunity for us all to progress and learn to achieve the ultimate state of what the masters might call ‘nirvana’ - we might say grace, or perfection. But to begin our journey there are many planes in the Spirit World, and when we die we go first to the level immediately above the Earth Plane or the Material World. As we develop and become more spiritual we progress to higher planes. Love is the highest ideal that we can strive for, and it the ultimate thing we must achieve if we are to at one with God.

In these writings of the spirit Masters there are many descriptions of what life is like in the Spirit World. Mediums give messages from spirit people to their loved one and from information received and so a picture can be built up of that world. In meditation many people have visited the Spirit World and described it afterwards, and people have visited the Spirit World in dream state or Astral Travel.

We know the ‘passing over’ into the Spirit World can best be described in the same way that those who have near-death experiences describe them. Often the spirit passing through a long dark tunnel, then out into a beautiful light where it is met by loved ones who have gone before, and it is also thought that most people attend their own funeral. Well, it’s only natural for the newly placed person to want to see who is paying their last respects [and find out how well you were thought of!] I saw both my father being assisted on each side by spirit helpers, and my brother sitting in an armchair, they were both ill when they passed, [at different funerals.]

There are worlds within worlds, and as Christ said, “In my Father’s house are many mansions‿. This has been interpreted in many ways, but it can also mean a multitude of different worlds, which coexist alongside and within each other, a concept that is not easy for us all in the material world to understand.

The Spirit World inhabits the same space as our world it is around us and throughout the whole universe, but because it is of a different ‘vibration’, or you might say a different ‘wave length’ and so it is unseen. Hospitals are found in the Spirit World, not to tend to the physical body because that is gone, but to tend to the mind, we arrive sometimes in a state of shock, expecting to be as ill as when we left our bodies, this is natural when people die suddenly through accidents, where people commit suicides, where there is a long period of illness and mental confusion, so there is need for help to that person to come to terms to the new situation. If the spirit does not initially go into a hospital, there is an initial settling in period when loved ones will help the new spirit adjust to the new life.

We now know that there is no day of judgment, but instead there is a period of self-appraisal of compensation and retribution. We judge ourselves as we gradually become more aware of what we did right and what we did wrong on earth. In time we must receive compensation for our good deeds and retribution for our evil deeds, but we decide how we are to receive both. God is not an old man sitting on a throne. It is difficult to describe, but it is a force, which pervades the whole universe, and we are part of God.

We have the opportunity of choosing where we wish to live and what our life should be like, because there are countless different scenes and environments on earth.

The soul develops and grows with each new experience. This development continues in the Spirit World in the same way as on Earth. Many times I have given information about what a loved one is doing in the spirit word just then regarding schools and collages in the Spirit World just as there are on Earth. Life in both human and spiritual form is an eternal road of change, development and learning.

Worried parents have often been concerned about their children when they die, and even those who are lost before birth, through miscarriage or whatever, please know this, that they grow up to full maturity in the Spirit World. There is nothing so touching to me as being able to give this kind of information, many times in church the recipient has just sat there as tears of joy stream down the face. More often than not they are brought up by their loved ones, who have passed before - I see them [years later] clairvoyantly as you would remember them when they passed, this is only so they can be recognised by you.

Just like the innocent children, animals have souls just too, humans and anyone who has listened to mediums giving messages will have heard pets being brought back and described in detail, I was asked why wild animals don’t often come to show themselves, I think it is because our friends come on the love vibration!

There are plants in the Spirit World just as here though the description of them is often that they are far more beautiful, and have colours never imagined on Earth simply because we love them, of course there is no need of their life giving oxygen when physical lungs are not needed either. And there is not need for food or drink in the Spirit World because the spirit exists on a different form of energy. However initially we may feel the need to continue our old habits and this is possible - everything is possible in the Spirit World.

So many spirits have the need to contact loved ones/mortals. It is only natural for people, when they pass, to want to reassure their loved ones who are left, that they are well. They try to make their loved ones aware of this by someone appearing to them, someone talking out loud to them or perhaps leaving a scent. Because sometimes they are unable to make themselves known, a medium can act as an intermediary. In the Spirit World one has the ability to move freely from one place to another and to experience whatever one wishes to. This expands our minds, and we have the right to choose what type of home we live in with Family and friends, husbands and wives, one spirit guide when asked which wife would a sitter be living with in the spirit world, replied the true love, for in that world all is made of love.

Initially we will most likely continue the family relationships and friendships with loved ones who are in the Spirit World with us. There will obviously come a time however, when we move to higher spheres that these will become less important as we become more a part of the godhead. We have choice in the Spirit World to do what we want to do, in the daily life and work, but the image of sitting around playing a harp is perhaps very far from the truth. We will be more aware of self-development and as such will want to work. Some of these roles may be teaching, entertaining, writing, nursing, counselling, working with the people in the Material World, inspiring, rescuing, working in libraries and utilizing knowledge.

Might we come back to try again? Not everyone in Spiritualism believes in re-carnation. Even of those who do, some believe that even though it is possible, why would one want to come back to another life on Earth. It does however provide one option for working out Karma – the compensation and retribution part of our principles, doesn’t it?

Not all Spiritualists believe in reincarnation, as stated earlier. However mediums have passed on information from guides that it is possible. The decision to reincarnate is the individual’s own choice. The individual not only has the choice of whether to reincarnate but where they wish to reincarnate, country, town, even their parents. The reason they have this choice is that the purpose of reincarnation is to learn a particular lesson and being able to select the right circumstances helps to provide greater possibility that those experiences will be met.

Never forget we all are individuals, the views we hold, and the insight we gain is just as valid as everyone else's. The brain is part of, and controls the working of, the physical body. Scientists believe that the mind is a product of the brain, yet people who have religious beliefs are more likely to believe that the mind controls the brain, it is solid flesh whereas the mind is a much more intangible thing.
