“In the lower stages of the spirit world, there is a replica of all that transpires in your physical world. All the warfare and fighting still continues, but gradually as realization comes, the soul leaves the astral world and sheds all the prejudices and enmities that it had in your world.
Then these problems begin to solve themselves, for with a true understanding of spiritual laws they realize that their task is to equip themselves, to perfect their own gifts, to develop their own talents, which can be achieved only by giving service. These are purely temporary problems, problems of how to bring recognition of spiritual facts to those who are not yet aware of them. All kinds of expedients have to be used.
One of the greatest tasks is to convince those who do not believe that they have left your world.” (P.30 More Wisdom of Silver Birch —-edited by Sylvia Barbanell)
The lower stage of the spirit world mentioned here refers to the astral world, occupied by spirits who do not understand or cannot accept that they have died. More specifically, it is at the lowermost region of the astral world, in direct contact with the physical world, which we call the “borderline region”. It is where the earth-bound spirits roam around.
If we spiritually awaken ourselves in the physical world, live altruistically, and spiritually growth enough, can we briefly pass through the astral world, needless to say of the “borderline region”, and proceed quickly to the spirit world?
Unlike the astral world, dreams and wills take substantial time before they are realized in the physical world, due to its rough vibrations. However, I believe us spiritually awakened individuals are already aiming to go through the processes prepared for us at the spirit world,
by practicing spiritual knowledge and learning the providence in this physical lifetime.
Then, why is the physical world necessary? Why do we need the troubles of experiences and trainings in the physical world?
Silver Birch says that “spiritual progress” through “spiritual awakening” in this current life, prepares us for the life and work that awaits us in the next world.
In the physical world, individual spirits of various spirituality levels mix and exist together, creating constant difficulties in human relations. Under such conditions, we must work strenuously in order to maintain the physical body. Throughout our life we constantly face many other difficulties of life with a physical body, including strong sexual desires that remain with us to the end. Despite the tough challenges, learning from real-life applications in the physical world is an effective and ideal way of learning the spiritual knowledge, as long as we are spiritually awakened. Practices enhance understanding, and in turn expedite spiritual progress.
Evolution and advancement is the great principle of the universe. The entire universe is constantly growing toward the direction of “perfection”.
Certainly, human beings are not excluded from the ongoing growth, since each of us are constituting elements of the universe, incorporated into the natural laws and providence. Whether we like it or not, as a child of God, we are on the journey of eternal spiritual growth, aiming for “perfection”. Each of us are indispensable existences, contributing our part in the creative activity.
“There are many difficulties to be overcome; that is why there is an infinity of perfection to be achieved.” (P.31 More Wisdom of Silver Birch —-edited by Sylvia Barbanell)
