About this listen
The series of three books I have written; analyzing and expanding the communications from various groups of spirits to the Rev. G. Vale Owen, are for the express purpose of explaining the reality - the organization, the process, the environment, the progression of spirits, the work, the daily life - of Heaven and the realms below to provide for those interested an understanding of why we are on earth, in our present physical form, and what is waiting for us when our dense shell is cast off and we return to the real world...the spirit world.
Heaven and Below - The Spirit World Revealed to an Anglican Vicar: Book 1 of Spiritism - Covers communications that pertain to three main themes:
- Life in heaven
- Lower regions
- Appearances of Jesus in the spirit realm
Many religions offer pictures of life after our spirit leaves our physical body. Most descriptions are hazy and prone to numerous interpretations. Spiritism, via communication from spirits who have been selected by high-level spirits, supplies us will real and actionable knowledge. Revelations in Spiritist literature presents an exciting picture of the bands of heaven and life therein. While a fuller explanation is extended about aspects of life and the organization of the regions below heaven.
The information provided is revelatory, amazing, and disconcerting. Our status of independent life forms, living a life shaped by random events, beginning and ending on earth is irrevocably altered by what was exposed.
If we look at our life as a one-time event, there is no advantage in not pursing the most hedonistic lifestyle possible - just as a child would consider the pluses and minuses between studying or playing. On the other hand, Spiritism lifts us up the mountain so we can see our lives arc over many centuries. One life is just one set of courses on the school of Earth. In between physical existences, we may either spend it in heaven or below. It is up to us.
Spiritism brings you the knowledge of why we are here, what is our goal, and the methods to achieve graduation from this planet.
Allan Kardec notified the world that doing our best to remove our baser characteristics and to learn to be more loving, fraternal, charitable, and honest with our fellow humans brings its rewards...life in heaven. While selfishness, envy, greed, and exploiting others practically guarantee a sojourn in the lower regions - where you either adjust your thinking or wait to improve in the next physical life on earth.

Story
The Spirits Book (1857), written by Allan Kardec, is widely regarded as the most important piece of writing in the spiritist canon. It is the first in a series of five books that Kardec wrote that are collectively known as the Spiritist Codification. Although the other four books, The Medium's Book, The Gospel According to Spiritism, Heaven and Hell, and The Genesis According to Spiritism, are of great importance to the Spiritist movement, it is The Spirits Book that lays out the doctrine of the belief system.

The Mediums’ Book is not addressed to materialists, who must be brought from materialism to spiritualism, if at all, by their personal ascertainment of the reality of the modern spiritist "manifestations" and by the proof they give of the continued existence of the souls of the deceased men and women by whom they are produced.

Today it is still one of the most widely read and respected books ever published on the wisdom of the East.

It's critical to ask for help - but what's repeatedly reminded by the spirit world is the importance of asking the right person the right thing. If you ask Grandma Cop for help with astrophysics, be prepared to get Grandma Cop's advice.

What happens to us when we die? Three decades of research have taught the author, a world expert in the field of death and afterlife studies, where the most reliable sources are to be found. These accounts are far better developed and more plausible than anything found in the world's scriptures or theologies. We hunger for a reliable revelation telling us that life here and now is meaningful and good, that each of us has an important part to play in its proper unfolding....

What if I told you that the world is on the cusp of such a radical transformation that all the anxieties which now incessantly crowd your mind are about to die away like the jabbering of monkeys upon the entrance of a roaring lion? That all that now worries and depresses you is about to melt away like a dream upon the blessed intrusion of a new reality you hitherto scarcely could have comprehended? Well, that is a reality. The Era is coming. Nothing and no one can stop it. But it is coming like a freight train, and you do not want to be on the wrong side of its arrival.

We had been in India about two years, doing regular routine research work, when I met the Master known in these writings as Emil. While walking along a street in the city where we were staying, my attention was attracted to a crowd. I saw the center of interest was one of the street magicians, or fakirs, that are so common in that country. As I stood there I noticed beside me an elderly man who was not of the same caste as those about him. He looked at me and asked if I had been long in India.

We see, as they perhaps do not, that to many of them, this series of lessons will be as seed planted in fertile soil - which will in due time put forth sprouts, which will force their way gradually into the sunlight of consciousness where they will put forth leaves, blossom and fruit. Many of the fragments of truth which will be presented to you will not be recognized by you at this time; but in years to come, you will recognize the verity of the impressions which will be conveyed to you in these lessons.

"The scientific attitude is the attitude of perfect open-mindedness," writes Agnes Sanford. "It consists in an unshakable faith in the laws of nature combined with perfect humility toward those laws and a patient determination to learn them at whatever cost. Through this humility scientists have learned how to conform to the laws of nature and by so doing have achieved results. Through the same meekness those who seek God can produce results by learning to conform to His laws of faith and love.

C. S. Lewis' Ransom Trilogy, better known as "the Space Trilogy", is a much-neglected and yet critically important part of Lewis's works. It has captivated and bewildered readers and listeners since its publication, and though hundreds of books about Lewis have been written, few seek to navigate the maze that is Lewis' "space-travel story". These books are a distillation in novel form of one of Lewis' favorite subjects, a subject whose melody is woven into almost everything that Lewis ever wrote: the medieval model of the cosmos.

Is Christianity a bland, domesticated religion, unthreatening and easy to grasp? Or is it the most exotic, unexpected, and uncanny of religious paths? For the mystics and saints - and for Robert Barron, who discovered Christianity through them - it is surely the strangest way. "At its very center", writes Barron, "is a God who comes after us with a reckless abandon, breaking open his own heart in love in order to include us in the rhythm of his own life." What could be more compelling?

What Hinduism needed, amidst the general disintegration of the modern era, was a rock where she could lie at anchor, an authoritative utterance in which she might recognize her self. And this was given to her, in these words and writings of the Swami Vivekananda. What Hinduism had needed, was the organizing and consolidating of its own idea. What the world had needed was a faith that had no fear of truth. Both these are found here.

Heaven and Below and the cobbler
Very Interesting at informative book,
Chapters are easy to follow and the information is timeless.
My favorite chapter is “ The Cobbler “
It is amazing and so deep in so many
ways....
His dedication and more importantly his humbleness is something we should all strive for.
I quote the author “ A perfect vision of how we should be “
I highly recommend everyone to
at least read that chapter and will understand how beautiful and wonderful this book is.

A glimpse of the afterlife
I loved this book! I had been hoping he'd do this one in audiobook. He paints a picture in your mind of what may await us on the other side. He gives a clear description of the different levels of heaven and the differences in the spirits in each. A wonderful book!

The book is interesting, but is hard to follow.
Book was full of interesting information, but took me a lot longer to get through than normal. The author should have hired a professional reader as his voice is a bit too deep and monotonous. I often found my mind wandering and had to stop for awhile.
