organized portions of the spirit world are highly organized. What is reported
back to us by incarnated humans under hypnotic
regression therapy is no doubt colored by the experiences and limited
viewpoint of the incarnated human form. Many aspects must be considered
to be "as perceived" rather than absolute reports of reality.
This appears to be not a matter of deception or otherwise deliberate,
but rather a matter of the limitations of human perceptions and concepts.
To paraphrase, how do you describe or otherwise convey the meaning of
color to a blind person? Alternatively, how do you verbally describe a
reality which is largely outside of the range of any human language concepts.
Individual spaces equivalent to bedrooms or other private spaces are not
described. Understandable as there are no possessions (personal or otherwise)
and no sleeping or bodily functions. Physical
things can be simulated by mental constructs and the spirit world
is pictured as appearing as traditional human constructions ranging from
classical Greek temple architecture to three dimensional free form structures.
Foods can also be simulated and the pleasures of eating, but this is reported
as not as satisfactory as the real thing. No doubt largely a matter of
the capabilities of the simulator. There are also unorganized
portions of the spirit world which can apparently be quite "wild
and woolly". Certain areas are described as long term and stable
human constructs or simulated environments. Individual souls are known
to create their own personal constructs which remain stable as long as
their creators choose to maintain them through a minimal level of mental
attention. There are areas reported to exist corresponding
to (possibly) every human society or religion's concept of an afterlife
or heaven. There the "true believers" of these groups congregate
after their earthly death until such time as they see through the limitations
of their belief system carried over from their last incarnation and break
out into the organized true soul level culture of the spirit world. This
is a limited overview of these aspects of the spirit world and we, of
course, have no complete knowledge of the true range of the spirit world
culture and activities. Nor does this really touch on the aspects of the
spirit world encountered in shamanic activities reported by Harner
and Castaneda among many others.
