Yes, Deepsea: I think we all learn, little by little.
Also, remember the story of the blind men trying to describe an elephant: that it was like a rope, a snake, a tree, a wall, a fan - depending on what part of it's body they were touching?
They were all correct: but none of them were "seeing" the whole picture.
Or imagine what it would be like if you were a space traveler who landed on earth? Odds are that you would say that it was a vast salt ocean. Or maybe a lifeless desert. Or a dense jungle teeming with life. Or a big city, inhabited by bipedal creatures who seemed to be dependent on some quasi-life form that had four wheels. And in every case you'd be correct.
I think the same applies to Spiritualist revelations. Or to Near Death Experiencers. Or to those who have received other revelations. All are seeing just a small part of the next world.
And then, as othere here mentioned, all that has to be filtered through the mind and values of the seer. . . no wonder we are told different things.
