Hi Robin,

You have to remember that the Earth plane is just another spiritual plane. There is no "afterlife." It's all "this life."

So the other planes look just like this plane. They're as solid as this plane, people have bodies like on this plane, there are rivers, lakes, trees, and wild animals just like this plane. We're experiencing what it will be like on the next plane.

The difference is that in the next plane, which is rather like a resting place before we decide whether to incarnate into another plane again, there are none of the negatives: no extremes of temperature, ticks, disease, sleeplessness, and so on.

What we experience on the next plane is what we expect to experience. We expect to see trees, so there are trees. If we expect to eat dinner, dinners are there. We don't have to ask for them or think of them. They're just there because we and those we live with, especially our loved ones, are accustomed to them and feel they're "normal." Now, that doesn't mean if someone believes in hell and is sure he'll be there that he'll find himself in a soup of lava. The way we live now is what we believe to be normal, so we'll be in an environment like this.

So on the plane we enter after this one, there are houses, flowers, trees, and all the rest. There is no machinery, however, so there are no lawnmowers or buses. They describe the houses as having a surface that is lustrous, like mother of pearl. There are large houses and small ones, some in towns and some in the country. There are no fires, so there are no chimneys. The temperature is always pleasant, so there are no furnaces. There is no rain, and leaves don't drop from trees, so there is no leaf raking.

People eat if they are accustomed to eating and want to eat, so there are kitchens, but with no appliances. However, everyone grows out of the need to eat and drink. I have never heard of anyone describing a bathroom because there is no bodily waste. However, I'm sure you could have a bath if you wanted one. Whatever is best about the Earth plane is there. Whatever is negative is not.

Love and peace, Craig
