Group of affinities and personal progression

To some extent things are no so different on the Other Side as here. Why should they be so weirdly different?

On the Other Side people form communities if they wish so. Like down here. People regroup by affinities according to their levels of "spirituality". Every way of the steps towards what we could call "enlightenment", one finds groups of affinities.

For example, if one is a flute player and plays with others there are flute players on the Other Side which you can join, always according to your level of spirituality. Your personal evolution determines that you can be with other flute players who have the same level of evolution as yours.

Same goes for any activity, except that some disappear as you climb up the ladder of spirituality. If you wish to stay a criminal, a gambler or whatever is of low level, you can. But then you won't be very high in the ladder. And you face the possibility of being annihilated...

The level of spirituality is in no way determined by wealth. Your notoriety as a drug dealer or a phlanthropist is irrelevant. It is the sum of your deeds that determines you level of spirituality. If on one hand you gave millions of dollars to arts but on the other hands unjustifiably exploited your workers, you are not to expect to be treated with deference. 

In fact some of your former workers might be way up in the spiritual scale compared to you and it might stay that way for a long long time. It is not a matter of revenge, only of spiritual levels. This is just an example. It serves the purpose of explaining how things work on the Other Side. After all it's a practical guide. No frills. If you wish to be rubbed in the right way or if you are looking for an ego-booster, there are literally hundred of books out there that will do so to please you.

Reincarnation and its role

As explained earlier (All in the family) a person on the Other Side has or wants to come back in the material world, say for instance on Earth. I don't know if there are other planets where this person could end up. All I know is that the possibility exists considering the number of planets in the material universe where life could strives. Exoplanets are now one of the most interesting research area in astronomy.

Very few people who are down here are so for the first time. Most of us have been here many many times already in different shapes, sex, conditions. In one life you could be a king and the next you'll be a servant. It all depends on your spiritual evolution. Your daughter could have been your wife or your mother. You may also meet for the first time which is rare. In fact we often end up being with people we have dealt many times with already.

In many instances, even if in this life you move from one country to the other, chances are you will meet people over there that you already had known in different lives. Sometimes you may think by moving you are "escaping" but you're just moving your body. The rest of your history always follows you. When one chooses another country to go to live it is either by necessity or by choice but it often happen to be a place where you may not know you may have already lived in a different life. Each person's circumstances are different. I explained an overall process. I can't get into your own pedigree. You may feel all this on your own because there are all sorts of things happening that makes you wonder.

We are here to evolve spiritually and we put into the conditions that will favor this evolution. You have to become aware of this and act accordingly. It's your free will, your life. Everything one does or even thinks has an impact on its life and the ones of its surroundings. So if one doesn't evolve more this time around and start to understand the purpose of its presence down here, well it's like doubling a class. This person will have to come back again until this person digs it. Read everything that I wrote before so it will be more understandable.

The Other, My Mirror

It is not at all necessary to be part of any religion to reach spiritual heights. Religions are man-made institutions. One just has to follow the simple rules that are at its disposal, like the ones I give here or any wisdom they find, except that one has to remember that a great many people are just serving their own turfs, making things so easy that one might as well do without. There is indeed work to do to reach those spiritual heights, make no mistake about that.

One of the most difficult aspect of this willingness to reach spiritual heights is... oneself. Take for instance being surrounded by others. Whenever you are to complain about someone else behaviour, manners because they drive you nuts or just irritate you, make sure you are not talking about yourself. Most of the time what one is reproaching to someone else is also something one should look within oneself. It's there for sure. The other always acts as a mirror. It is shocking. It is unacceptable. Indeed! And yet there is no escape. Before (or at the same time as) changing the world one has to work on oneself and there are no better ways than confronting others which allows to react and act... upon oneself. First.

If we were or had to pay Jesus as an expert witness when he came around it would have cost around one million dollar per word he would pronounce. It's not every day we get to encounter someone coming from the highest of the highest spiritual lands visiting us. So before we killed him because we didn't like his line of thinking, he had the time to say a couple of things worth billions of dollars, because nowadays that seems to be all that counts: how much is it worth?

So check it for yourself and think about it for a moment. In Matthews 7.3 when it is reported Jesus said the following: "Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye? 4. How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye?", he indeed gave us for free an incredible key to our spiritual endeavour. It didn't only mean: "Don't judge others", it meant and still means first and foremost we'd better check our own self THROUGH the reaction we trigger in ourselves while in the surrounding of others. The mirror. We are face to face with ourselves when we are with others. In a good way or in a bad way. If we feel comfortable with someone it is because we are alike and it pleases us. It is very easy to always stay surrounded by people just pleasing us but we don't learn much in terms of improving ourselves. Not that one should not see people pleasing them, but that one has to also encouter people not pleasing oneself if one is to learn something about oneself.
