2 Corinthians 5King James Version (KJV)
5 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
However, by being in contact with material minded people here on Earth, they understand why their spiritual world is so important.
In other words, they were initially in a spirit world, screwed up badly, got reborn into this world and learned the hard-way that their initial spiritual path is the best path for them into eternity.
After enduring this material hell-hole, they will return to the spiritual version of this world and never ever make the same mistake again.

One path points to accepting the Singularity. The other points towards accepting Eternal Existence beyond.

My reason is that the spiritual world and people are so indifferent to suffering here on earth. I think the concepts of karma and reincarnation both desensitise people to suffering.
I've already chosen to stay here and live with the Asura rather then the Devic, one might say.
whatsthisthen - Conversely, one can say; by being in contact with spiritually minded people here on earth (and on the spiritual plane) one can understand why the "material" world is so important.
Tristran - If that is a one off event, then I agree
Maybe Jesus is the way out of this never ending cycle. So its either paradise with Jesus or reincarnate for both of our selves in this never ending cycle.

Yet wouldn't it be better to break the cycle?
The one thing I know, is that this world does not need to be a place that creates trauma in the innocent - someone has set it up that way.
Welcome to hell

I like this "Underworld", even though it's been trashed by the tennents over the last few hundred years. And really, if I were a landlord and my tennents did what humanity has done, I would evict them.
They'll have to drag me kicking and swinging punches to get me into the "higher spiritual" worlds, and they know this already. So much to fix down here in that "lower spiritual(?)" world just out of sight.
The little gods rely upon mortals to worship them to maintain their power. Zeus / Thor / Baal etc all need followers.
They hate Jesus because He has given us mortals the ultimate 'Get out of Jail Free' card. Hence, the little demons are losing followers, hence losing power.
They murder Christians because they spread the Gospel that saves sinners from this constant loop.

This doesn't sound right at all.
Zeus, Thor, Baal are storm gods. Hurricane chasers and climatologists aren't murdering Christians. Maybe individuals murder but it isn't some requirement associated with their vocations or avocations.

The two need not be separate.
Good luck if you are staying behind after Yahushua removes His true followers first. Especially if Mark Zuckerburg becomes President and rules over everyone as a god with a military iron fist to crush all grumpy slaves.

If we are going to achieve something in this world, while we are alive is the time to do it.
Anyway, I'll be waving you guys off on your way from the astral, I've got work to do there.
Is it possible that what ever we imagine here and create it, then that sort of blueprint goes with us to the next world ?
Work on the Astral Plane ? Interesting. What sort of work ? Any clues ?

Some really dark things from that time "before Noah" one might say. That's my specialty. Most of that should stay lost for sure, yet I see it repeating itself in modern civilisation. Bio-engineering, artificial intellegence, artificial life and so on. Same mistakes repeated today only this world has a long way to go to reach the old depravity of those ancient "wizards and magicians".
the sky is black yet thin yellow lines form a grid pattern.
Things can be worked out. However, what are the consequences of the solutions ?
Example: financial collapse. Everyone gets free Bitcoin money to jump start the NU World economy as long as they take a chip in their right hand.
Did the Heavenly guardians say why they wouldn't let you in ?
Churches are built on-top of Pagan Holy Water sites like springs. So demons entering into a church via a portal (water springs) explains why so many are now so corrupted.
Are the underworlds full of bubbling pits of maggot filled excrement ?
Are the yellow lines vertical only ? reminds me of the ley-line interception points (stone monoliths) in Tartarus.
