Purgatory

By Ulrica Hills

Thou shalt – thou shalt not.

Over the centuries the church has proclaimed over the limits of our spiritual behavior.

It is neatly boxed up and so straight forward.

Live this life with all its temptations good deeds and sins.

What follows is a place called purgatory where we stand quaking before a fatherly and stern godhead who judges us and divides us neatly into two – those past redemption and cast out to suffer torments such as only earthly man could devise or those supplied with heavenly wings and a harp on which they presumably hone their musical skills ever lastingly. Maybe the other place would be more interesting and stimulating.

Not so say the spiritualists.

You die and are usually met by blissful loving beings and relatives, supplied with rest and healing if necessary - allowed to wander at will and survey wondrous colours, places, buildings and sparkling rivers. We can visit and enjoy previous earthly favourite places at will.

We are taken to a place of self-assessment. We survey our lives and judge ourselves. Maybe another incarnation is in order to learn those lessons we still haven’t covered. Maybe we desire to come back in an incarnation destined to teach, lead and help others.

Those who desire it may opt to stay in the upper realms to draw on the wealth of knowledge and learning which is available. They can desire to help those recently passed over. They can opt to be guides, healers and spirit helpers – communicators.

There is a dark place. It is occupied by those who led dark lives, harmful to others. They have created their own hell and struggle to come to terms with it. Some re-incarnate without choice, some eventually reach towards a light requesting help. This is responded to and their spiritual pathway feebly begins.

Better to immerse yourself in that striving spiritual light while incarnated. Learn the lessons of the soul while in the most efficient classroom of life.
