Heaven, Purgatory, Hell

My last blog inspired one of you to ask if I was describing heaven or hell in my last post titled Another Visit.
I will state categorically that the Heaven promised us through the sacrifice of the Living God Jesus Christ is the most real entity in this universe and beyond.
Heaven is attained in increments. For most of us we would not be comfortable in the ultimate heavenly place. We would feel like intruders.
Just like there are nine choirs of angels, we ourselves are travelling in families that are separated by our capability to embrace Love.
Some of us are at a basic level where Love is seen as a far distant dream. Some at these levels cannot even fathom the existence of Love. These have a long way to go. They always need our prayers. They will always tug at us in a jealous rage fed by Satan.
Most of those who have passed from this life are in a place that used to be called Purgatory. It used to be seen as a place of pain. It is not. It is a place where souls can catch their breath before continuing their everlasting journey. Please pray for these.
Some of those who have passed attain a higher level. These are the blessed ones who reach out with encouragement to us.
Hell, is the most difficult to grasp by me. I suspect that it is a place that souls who truly reject all hope over and over go to slowly fade into non-existence. The Hebrew Sheol is the closest I can come up with for these. Pray for them anyway. Who knows the truth about Hell. The master of Hell, Satan, is surely not going to share the truth with us. It may put him out of business.
