Warm greetings, Susan,

Thank you for your comments and questions. They are much appreciated! Would it be possible with any subsequent comments, to keep them within the thread entitled "Questions and Answers On The Afterlife", as a guideline? This is just to keep all incoming questions together instead of in other sections or parts of the system, as different threads make it somewhat harder to read and follow for some. A comment or question to me can simply be made by replying right under *my own* original posting. Thank you kindly for your understanding.

You ask about the "jobs" done by our loved ones in the Afterlife and if they are picked by someone else. Each soul has its own descriptive life mission. And since life continues eternally, when that soul returns to its Source, the World of Spirit, it knows instinctively, and without being told by others, what to do and what to study for further spiritual unfoldment. There are many opportunities in the Afterlife! There are many places for study and many of the world's leading teachers who have passed on have made it their continuing life's mission to teach those subjects they excelled in while incarnate on Earth. Classrooms are similiar to ours, it has been described. There are less difficulties in learning and it appears that those who are engaging in this learning activity can learn with a much faster pace although it still takes good effort on the part of the participant. Some souls (people) go on to become spiritually tied to helping others from their realm. They will thus bond to and work with those on Earth on matters that the incarnate are engaged in. Others will inspire in the fields of music, drama, art, writing, mathmatics, physics, medicine, law, and just about any subject one can think of.

As to your other question "And do you know what is required to go on to different levels? Is it when they are able to resolve incarnate issues, or just when they feel "ready" to go higher? I've been told that there are 8 total levels on the other side, is that so?"

First of all, there is no such thing as elevating when 'they' feel ready to go higher. If that were so, many would not learn the lessons that are required due to their own doing, as well as due to the Divine Law of God. There are indeed different levels of existence in the Afterlife. But generally speaking, there are Three Primary Realms with different levels. 1. Heaven, 2. "Purgatory", a place where the soul spends good time in order to purify itself and resolve incarnate issues, and 3. Hell. Heaven is the very HIGHEST realm and where most souls desire to go when they transition. That is The Place of True Peace, Love, Tranquility and Serenity that is filled with God's Light and His Eternal Love. "Purgatory", as Catholics call it, is another Realm where soul-cleansing and purification take place for a certain amount of time and where the soul is able to elevate higher when deemed ready by God. (In another posting, I spoke of The Virgin Mary going into Purgatory to escort those who are ready to leave and to lead them to the Heavenly realm).

The last Realm is the very low astral realm equivalent to a place with virtually no Light at all. A place where souls groan and moan in their pain and desperation to leave and where their own inner feelings converge into mass suffering with those of others. That is a true dark and "hellish" place where souls who have sinned grieviously and have not repented before their departure from this life enter. It is just about impossible to leave once one enters this realm or level. Only GOD could pull a soul out from that place but only for an excellent reason! It is not known that that happens, however, as during the judgment phase, there are no mistakes made as to where a soul will eventually go. All is very well thought out and declared. Therefore, there would be hardly any reason to pull a soul out of Hell if it was condemned to go there in the first place, due to grave and unrepentant sin and the refusal to be "Born Again" in Christ as is the Biblical Key to Salvation of the soul. "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be Born Again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." -- JOHN 3:3 (KJV). That statement says it all, therefore, it holds the KEY! Only God judges those who pass on. Souls will, however, have some limited input into the situation but again, if not enough has been done to align with and adhere to God's teachings while incarnate, it will then be too late during the judgment to try to make amends. Only He knows where each soul will go and for what reason(s).

As to "levels" in the different realms, generally speaking, the higher the level, the greater amount of Light that will exist. Some fortunate people who have a good and very kind heart, will immediately enter into one of the higher levels of the Heavenly Realm upon transition. For most, upon entering the higher levels, after the soul has learned its lessons and has been given permission from Christ to elevate, there will be more Light and a greater ease and comfort in atmospheric and environmental conditions. In total, there are SEVEN Dimensions, not eight (remembering that there are THREE main *Realms*). You may have heard the saying "I'm in Seventh Heaven!". That would mean they are extremely joyful, gleeful and most happy! No one goes into that Seventh Dimension of the First Realm, however, for it is at that level where God Himself is said to exist. His incredibly intense Pure White Light (for lack of descriptive words in the English language) would be so enormously intense that no soul, human or otherwise, could exist in its radiating presence or even close to it. It may take centuries of our time, for some people, just for their elevation into one of the higher spiritual levels. It all depends on how Christian the person was in Earth life. And in case you were thinking, there is no "reincarnation" to give one a second, third, fourth or more chances to come back and try to be good. Once having passed on, souls do not return here to Earth to re-live more Earthly experiences or missions. They elevate higher in the *Spiritual Realms* instead of becoming infants incarnate all over again, with a different body, a different set of parents, no memory of "past life" events, etc. This would obviously not give an individual soul the opportunity to progress if he or she were returning as a different person, detached from its own originality, and now living as someone else. Each person has their own *individual* soul For Life (which includes the Afterlife). That means they have just ONE consciousness, not many others that "might" develop into other multiple personalities later on. We Do Not Change Lives despite what some may have heard or thought they heard! HEBREWS 9:27 (KJV) is very specific on that. "And as it is appointed unto men ONCE to die, but after this the judgment." That is extremely clear in that we die only ONCE and then go on to the judgment....no coming back to die again and again. That is just not how God designed life to be. And Thank God for that most wonderful blessing! That is why it is so important to deport ourselves in the very best manner that we can through serving others and in giving of our Brotherly Love to our fellow man while we are here. WE ALL have that opportunity!

As to the higher realms of Spirit, those "realms" or dimensional levels are part of the Christ realm, the Number One Realm, Heaven. And Jesus Christ, Biblically speaking, IS THE *ONLY* BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD, therefore, those who kept to the teachings of Jesus Christ will elevate much quicker since they would have been in keeping with His teachings and in keeping God's Ten Commandments which are Paramount in importance and a Big Factor in judgment of the soul. Since ALL things are written in The Book of Life as they occur, no matter how minute the action, one's actions towards others will be duly noted and thus remembered during the judgment.

Thank you for your questions! I am glad that you have asked them. May you receive many blessings through Jesus Christ!

In Christ Jesus' Glorious Name,
Zenith
