The Spirit World- What does it look like?

Of all the many descriptions that I have read of the Spirit World I have come to understand one thing is prevalent. Light. The Spirit World is a world of Light. My favorite description is best described by an actual application.

In a safe place light a candle. Look into the flame at the brightest part of the flame. It is a soft golden glow. That is the color that permeates the world of spirits. There is a lack of light where evil exsists. We will discuss the area where light is present.

The Spirit World

Where did my loved one go?

Today we are going to discuss the location of the Spirit World or Paradise. The Spirit World consists of two separate places. In some discussions Paradise is used to describe both places in the Spirit world also.

On the LDS.org site if you go to study a specific topic you get the following descriptions.

Spirit World

Paradise: Where our spirits go between death and resurrection. For those who were righteous during their lives, the Spirit World will be a place of peace and joy.

My second entry to my blog is a request from my beautiful son on the other side, Kory.  It was the next step in my journey to understanding the Spirit World.  When I was a teenager I, like a lot of people struggled with my self perception, my social status and a whole array of things that made me consider the darker aspects of death.  I felt so unworthy of life, that I thought it would be easier to just give up. I contemplated suicide. I know this was a scary thought but I didn’t think it would matter. I thought the world really didn’t care if I was here or not. To think I could just go to a beautiful place and all my trials would be gone.

When I was a little girl my father died in a work accident, (see biography). My mother was given a type written copy of a wonderful experience of a man named Heber Q. Hale. He had a wonderful vision about the world beyond death. From those early years as I questioned where “daddy” was, my mother would read this account to my sisters and me. It was a wonderful comfort. The part of the article that was seared into my heart and understanding was the description of the plants and trees. It touched me in a way that is hard to describe. Almost like a memory from a previous home. A great desire began to grow within myself to learn as much as I could on the journey beyond death.
