Hi Kim,

You wrote, “When the physical body dies will every individual body that The Spirit occupied live on a different plane of existence in order to match the spiritual development of The Spirit as it resided in that one separate human body?”

There’s a difference between what you’re envisioning as life in eternity and what actually happens. When we graduate into the next plane of life, we stay close to the Earth plane for a while. We have the same emotions, needs, expectations, thoughts, attitudes, and sense of being who we were on the Earth plane. In other words, we’re exactly the same person, but just on another plane of life as real as this plane of life. We’ll have a solid body and walk around just was we do on the Earth plane. Our bodies match what our spiritual and mental selves from the Earth plane expect. People who were older have a body in our 20’s or 30’s as we envision them on the Earth plane.

And so, for an extended period of time, we’ll still be maturing from or separating from the Earth plane. During that time, we’ll maintain all the spiritual, psychological, and mental characteristics we had on the Earth plane. And our environment will fit what we expect life should be like, with houses, landscapes, trees, mountains, and those we loved from the Earth plane around us. We’ll still be the individuals we were on the Earth plane. That’s what our expectations will do for us.

Then, after a period of time as we measure time on the Earth plane, perhaps decades, perhaps centuries, we’ll mature to the place where we no longer need to have life like it was on the Earth plane. We’ll mature out of that into a higher level. We’ll always be individuals, but with more understanding and maturity. At that point, we’ll be able to integrate the memories from other lives and our expectations for life will be different. We can’t tell what they’ll be like. Many say we’ll then be ready to have other experiences with our soul group, those we love, and so we’ll go on to have other wonderful adventures in new schools where we’ll mature and learn more lessons.

So we won’t be different people, and won’t have different circumstances or lives in the period after this Earth period of life. We’ll still have the Earth perspectives until we grow out of them and away from the Earth plane.


You asked, “Will The Spirit continue to live on this earth to spiritually mature, and each physical body live on that plane of existence forever?”

I’m not sure I understand, but the person we are is much broader and much more inclusive than we can imagine now. Our higher selves, our eternal selves, include all the people we’ve been and all the experiences we’ve had. In this life, we were infants having infant experiences, then 5 year olds, having 5 year old experiences, then 10 year olds, then 15 year olds, then 25 year olds, and 50 year olds. All of these people we were were quite different from each other. The infant we were was completely different from the 50 year old. But they’re all part of who we are today.

It’s the same with our other lives. They formed who we are today as we live this life. But they’re all still there in us. We will stay with what we are in this life for as long as we need to in order to mature. When we grow spiritually, psychologically, and mentally on the next planes of life, we’ll be able to remember some of these other lives. But the memories aren’t important to who we are and who we’ll be, just as remembering what we experienced in the week after our births isn’t important for us to know now. But what happened to us as infants is with us now, in the sense that it helped create who we are. It’s the same with the person we are in this life and the people we were in other lives. We are much greater than just this life.

The physical bodies don’t live on. The etheric bodies we have when we leave the Earth plane and go into the next plane are also just temporary. We leave all of that behind as we mature away from having those bodies, just as we matured naturally away from having the body of an infant, the body of a 5 year old, the body of a 10 year old, and so on. We didn’t have to think about changing bodies. It was a gradual, natural process. And so, we’ll eventually mature away from having the body we have now. And we’ll do that with our loved ones in our soul group. We have wonderful lives ahead of us we can’t envision.

Love and peace, Craig
