Two Years In Heaven, by Dr. C.H. Carson, channeled testimony from his wife in the afterlife:
"Many who had been unrecognized upon the earth plane were bright and shining lights in the higher life, and many who had been millionaires or kings on earth were spiritual paupers in the world of higher law and justice...
... the lower spheres, where wicked and undeveloped spiritual beings were daily received. Rebellious and wicked these spirits were at first and exceedingly hard to manage... What a labor of love for God and His unfortunate children was being rendered daily by large-souled men and women who worked and taught in the lower spheres, endeavoring to show the sinful spirits the way of the truth and the light that would lead them up to a higher realization of the duty they owed themselves and their fellow-men.
Some spiritual beings were slow in their progress and some moved forward rapidly. Some were thousands of years passing through one sphere, while others progressed through several spheres in ten or twelve months...
There are no helpless cases, however, in spirit life; not even those who must be confined in the dark sphere and surrounded by a circle of fire to keep them from doing wrong are hopeless. All may be led to higher consciousness and realization by the light of Divine Love...
The lower spheres I found very much like the Earth. The inhabitants were not yet spiritualized, consequently their tendencies were still somewhat physical. Some of them were peaceable, others were rebellious... Every encouragement was given them by those who sought to bring about their reformation. At first they did not care to mingle with the [spirit] beings who came from the higher spheres to help them... gradually he came to realize that only good was intended, and at last the spirit of kindliness prevailed and the worked one was made tractable to the kindly ministrations of the child of God... who could even invite them to their beautiful homes above and thereby give them an incentive to make something out of their lives that would help them to be stronger, wiser, purer, and better.
