Life After Death
What happens to most folks after death? Where does the soul go?
In order to answer this question, we need to define “most” folks. For our purposes, “most” folks are those who live a pretty good life. They care for their family and friends, and are neither overly religious, nor overly materialistic. They may indeed “belong” to a religious group, and participate regularly, or irregularly. They may even be atheistic, and certainly we do not assume they are Christian.
Most of all, we do assume that they have never heard of Divine Love. This is however where it gets tricky. We do know that God hears soul aspirations, not the words our minds construct. Thus it is possible for someone who has never heard of Divine Love, to have actually received a great deal of divine love. Such a person was Mother Teresa. Clearly, Mother Teresa is not one of “most” folks. But still we need to answer the question - “What happens to most folks?”
The communications we have received concentrate on one area of the spirit world - what is called the Spirit Spheres. There is another area sometimes referred to as the Earth Plane, as it surrounds the Earth. This is more commonly called the Astral Plane and our messages do not cover that usefully. I think it tends to introduce a complication, but that said people do go here instead of where they are supposed to go - to the Spirit Spheres. I have a description of this in one of my booklets and you can read about it here, if you wish to.
In these messages it is explained that most will progress slowly back to being the perfect natural man - the same state that Adam and Eve were created in. They will live in the sixth sphere, a heaven of total happiness. While the Celestial heavens are spheres of “greater” happiness, none will miss that which they have not experienced, although it is said that they will become aware of something that is not theirs. But it is sad that most will never reach the spiritual heights that they are capable of.

Is that forever?
We are told that the opportunity to progress beyond the perfect natural man will be withdrawn, at some point, but only after every soul has refused this opportunity.
