Word Gems 

exploring self-realization, sacred personhood, and full humanity


 

When hard-core Criminals, the Most Evil,
repent and begin to change, will they
be "second-class" citizens in Summerland
for their time in darkest detention?

There are no "second-class citizens" in Summerland. Whatever world or plane of existence upon which we find ourselves, people just like us will be living nearby. This principle remains true from the lowest-levels of Dark Detention all the way up to most rarified heights of spiritual evolvement.

Further, the fact that a person may have once been a hard-core criminal is no necessary detriment to advancement. The case of Abu, the 3500 year-old former Egyptian priest, becomes case in point, as today he excels in wisdom.

An intimate former-friendship with Evil can give one a penetrating perspective on the meaning of life that will escape the ordinary "good person" entering Summerland.

Allow me to quickly add, however, that, as the apostle Paul used the phrase, we need not "sin that grace may abound." No, there are other, more preferred, ways to gain deep insight into life. It's all a matter of accessing the true self - that's the key to real spirituality.  

 

Father Robert Benson, More Light: "When I lived on earth ... I never dreamed that one simple text ... held the clue to the whole of life on earth as it is concerned with the life in these lands. Whatever a man sows upon earth that will he reap in the spirit world ... in that law rests the certainty of spiritual progression for all mankind. There is no talk here of Judgment and Judgment Days, no word here of eternal damnation. No word of an avenging God inflicting dreadful punishments upon a man because he has sinned against Him. It is just a plain statement of fact. However bad may be the harvest that is reaped by each individual as a consequence of the life he has led upon earth, he has the whole of eternity before him during which to sow well, and reap the richest of rich harvests. It may take time and great effort; it may cost the individual much mental anguish; there may be overwhelming remorse; but the soul will have, and does have, every aid and opportunity to regain whatever ground he has lost, and so rise to the greatest heights in spiritual advancement..."
