How Far Is Heaven?

What is the hereafter like?

First and foremost, it’s a place where we receive a far-reaching appreciation for our life here on earth and for everything that happened during our stay here; it provides an understanding of why things happened the way they did and the peace of mind that comes with this understanding. All of our questions about ourselves are answered, including the life we lived while we were here on earth and the world we lived in. Questions, which we thought could not possibly have a resolution, are completely answered and in a way that allows us to fully understand our lives and the issues we faced during this time: the hurts, frustrations, and failings. We not only learn why our life was so difficult, but also what was the value and lesson contained in each one of our difficulties and how those difficulties helped us with our spiritual growth.

I clearly remember the day when the souls told me that our life in the hereafter will be a reflection of our life here. We are not bodies with a soul; we are souls with a body. We come here taking on a spiritual journey that will test who we are with struggles, lessons, and the circumstances we find ourselves in. Our ability to love ourselves and others, our compassion, and our willingness to make the world a better place, will be put to the test. How well we live up to these ideals will, according to the souls, create the kind of home we experience in the hereafter.
