We hear this version and that version,most very different from the other.
We know there are different planes starting from the bottom progressing to the most elusive plane of all where we are one with the Great Spirit.
I find this very confusing.
Why can't spirit give us the true picture before we pass onto into their world?

That sounds about right,what worries me is where they offer lodgings.
Could be where it's a bit hot.

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.

You are so right,Jim.
How often do we have discussions with friends,family etc?
How often do we agree or they disagree with us about how a certain aspect of anything looks?
Scenery,paintings for instance.
We all see things differently from each other.
How boring it would be if we all had same viewpoint as each other.

I agree with this. The less we know about the beauty we're missing, the less we'll want to ditch boot camp and go back there.

Talk about seeing things differently (see above!) : it's just the opposite with me. The more I learn about the next life, the more I understand the importance of this one.

That's okay. I know how important it is to stick it out here, it just makes me wish there was a fast forward button. That's all.
