Life in the beyond

Silver Birch the best loved internationally famous spirit communicator and teacher from the spirit world

Silver Birch has described something of the beauties of the spirit world, which he declares we visit frequently in our sleep, although most of us cannot remember our experiences on waking:

When you have tasted and enjoyed with your full consciousness all that my world has to offer, you will realise that it is the love we bear for you that makes us come back to work amongst you. You have not tasted the joys of the world of spirit. There is nothing in your world of matter with which you can compare the life of the spirit, freed from the trammels of the flesh, escaped from the prison of the body of matter, with liberty to go where you will, to see your thoughts take shape, to follow out the desires of your heart, to be freed from the troubles of money.
You who are encased in matter, do not yet comprehend beauty as it can be. You have not seen our light, colour, scenery, trees, birds, rivers, streams, mountains, flowers and yet you're world fears death.

Death strikes terror into their hearts. But you will only begin to live when you're "dead". Now you live, but in reality you're almost dead. So many are dead to the things of the spirit. The little life force flickers in their puny bodies, but no spiritual things can find any response within them. But gradually we make progress. Gradually the force of the spirit increases in strength all over your world of matter. Gradually darkness retreats, as it must when confronted by the light of spiritual truth. There are no words to compare the life in your world of matter with the life in the world of spirit. We who are "dead" and know so much more of life than you do. This is the world where the artist finds all his dreams come true, where the painter and the poet realise their ambitions, where genius has full power of expression, where the repressions of earth are swept away and all gifts and talents are used in the service of one another. This is the world where there are no clumsy words to express inspiration, but where thought is the living language and reveals itself with lightning rapidity.

This is the world where we have no money to worry us, where there is no competition, no driving of the weaker to, the wall, where the strong, are strong because they have something to give to those less fortunate than themselves. We have no unemployment, we have no slums, we have no selfishness. We have no sects, we have only one religion. We have no sacred books, only the operation of the divine laws to instruct us. And the nearer you get to the belts of matter, the more clumsy and difficult it is for the spirit to express itself. I never like to come back. The only things that make me do so are the promise that I have given to serve and the love of all of you, which gives me some compensation. To die is not tragic. To live in your world is tragic. To see the garden of the Great Spirit choked with the weeds of selfishness and greed and avarice, that his tragedy.

To die it is to enjoy freedom of the spirit, which has been imprisoned behind the bars of the material body. Is it tragic to be released from suffering, for the soul to come into its own? Is it tragic to see wonders of colour, to hear music that does not belong to material expression? Do you call it tragic to express yourself in a body that has no pain, to be able to roam all over the world of matter in a flash and to taste the beauties of the spirit life too? There is not in your world one artist who could capture with his paints some of the glories of my world. There is not one musician who can record some of the glories of the music spheres with your notes. There is not one writer who could describe it in physical words the beauty of parts of this world. What a pleasant surprise you will have one day, when you become conscious of our world. Your world is in beauty now. You see all around you the manifestations of the Great Spirit, as the dawn of life sweeps over your surroundings again in its cycle, and you marvel at the beauty of the blossom and the fragrance of the flowers, and you say: " How great is the handiwork of the Great Spirit."

And yet, that which you see is but a very, very pale reflection of the beauties that we have in our world of spirit. We have flowers such as you have never seen, we have colours such as your eye has never beheld, we have scenes and forests, we have birds and plants, we have streams and mountains. You have nothing to compare them with. And you will be able to enjoy them, for, even though you will be ghosts, you will be real ones. You come to our world now, but you do not remember. You visit the spirit world every night. That is your preparation. Otherwise, it would be such a shock when you come here to start your real life in earnest. When you pass on, you will remember your visits. You will then be freed from the limitations of the body and you will be able to express to the full all the consciousness, which has been released during your sleep. In its new expression, it will bring to you all the memories that you have, the memories of all the experiences that you have enjoyed.

Questions and answers Silver Birch

Questions asked by sitters at a home circle
Question
What will be the position of those who, after passing, go to the lower planes of spirit life? Will they remember their sleep visits.... presumably to the lower planes.... and will that memory help them to adjust their position?

Silver Birch
Those who would gravitate to the lower planes go to those planes during sleep, but the memory of that would not help them to realise their position after death because the planes on which they found themselves would still resemble the material world. The lower in the world of spirit, the more earthly it is in appearance because the vibrations are more gross; the higher in the realms of spirit, the finer the vibrations.

Question
Do we sometimes remember our sleep adventures in this life?

Silver Birch
When your spirit is released from its body, you are freed from your brain, which is your limitation in the world of matter. The consciousness now has experiences on our vibrations, according to your grade of evolution, and it is conscious of its experiences while it has them. But, when you go back to your body of matter and try to capture the experiences of the spirit, you cannot do so because one is greater than the other. The smaller cannot hold the greater and you get distortion. It is as if you had a little bag and you tried to get lots of things into it. You could only get some of the things into the bag, and the more you pushed the more out of shape they would become. That is what happens to you when you returned to your bodies. But, if your soul is already evolved and you have reached an advanced stage of consciousness, then you are aware of the spirit realms. Then you can quite easily train the brain to remember.

I talk with all of you and I often say: "Remember this when you go back to your world". But you do not. I have been with each one of you "in this circle" and I have taken you to many places. But, though you do not remember it now, none of it is ever wasted.

Question
Do you mean that the memory of these experiences will help us when we pass on?

Silver Birch
Yes. Nothing is wasted. The law is perfect. Those of us who have lived for many years marvel at the perfection of the law, and when we hear the puny minds of your world criticise the Great Spirit... how little they know! The less they know, the more they express themselves.

Question
Are many people engaged in working during their sleep state, or are the visits used solely for preparation for the larger life?

Silver Birch
Some of you do work; because there are many that you can help in your sleep state. But, usually, it is a preparation. You're taken to those places, which will help you to be ready for your work when you leave the world of matter. If that were not done, the shock of coming from one sphere of expression to another would be so great that it would take you a long time to recover. That is why it is easier for those who have knowledge when they come to our world. Others have to sleep and rest for a long time, until they can adjust themselves. If you have knowledge, then you pass from one state to another and you are aware of the new life. After all, it is just like opening a door and coming into the sunshine. You must get accustomed to light. Those without knowledge would have to have a long period of rest to recover from the period of transition. It is the same as a baby in your world. It has to feel its way. They would still remember their experiences, but more as you remember dreams. Nothing is ever lost, in your world or in mine. Always remember that. Every thought, every action, every desire to serve that is thrown out of your hearts helps someone somewhere. Always, when the desire is there, you attract those who can help you.

Question
When people pass on lacking in understanding, do they respond to our thoughts and receive our mental messages?

Silver Birch
Awakening only comes when realisation dawns. If you have knowledge, then your awakening is much quicker. We have to fight ignorance, misunderstanding, superstition, false creeds, erroroneous theologies, all of which do not help to prepare the soul for its new life. Before these are conquered, the soul has gradually to accustom itself, and there is a long period of rest. As in your world you have hospitals for bruised and injured bodies, we have to treat bruised and injured souls. But where an individual has rendered great service, and love, goodwill, affection and prayer accompany his passing into my world, then the awakening is speeded, for all those vibrations help him.

Question
What will happen to a person who passes on, not believing in survival, but thinking that when he dies it is the end?

Silver Birch
As you cannot die, because it is contrary to the natural law, that person will have to wake up and face the fact. How long it will take for the realisation of spirit life to come to him will depend upon the evolution of his soul... how far it is advanced and how it can attune itself to the new conditions.

Question
Will the passing of such a person be difficult?

Silver Birch
That, again, depends on the evolution of the soul. Passing from your world to mine is not difficult, as a rule, because usually the one who passes is not conscious of the change at the time. It is only advanced souls who register the passing out of the world of matter into the world of spirit.

Question
If such a person has been good, will he suffer in any way for not believing the truth of survival, even if he has been told of it?

Silver Birch
Good, bad, I do not know what these words mean. It will depend only upon the life he has led, the service he has rendered, the opportunities he has taken to unfold the Great Spirit that is within him. That is all that counts. It is better to have knowledge then ignorance, but the only test is the way you have lived your life from day to day.

Question
In the spirit life, do we join again with those we love and become younger? Jesus says there is no marriage or giving in marriage.

Silver Birch
Wherever there has been love between a man and a woman and that love has brought them together and made them as one, and they have lived on the same spiritual plane in your world, then "death" will not part them. "Death" will be a door, which will give them a greater freedom for their souls to be more closely united than they were in your world of matter. But if their coming together, their marriage as you call it, was not a marriage of souls but only of bodies, and their souls did not dwell on the same plane, then "death" will drive them further apart, for it will relegate them to their own spiritual sphere. If there is love, they will find that in the world of spirit they will not get younger, not older, but will experience growth, evolution, and development. These are things of the soul, not the body when the Nazarene said that there is no marriage and no giving in marriage, he was referring to the marriage of bodies, not the marriage of soul. For that which you call male and that which you call female each has its contribution to make to each other. The female is necessary to the male and the male is necessary to the female. The Great Spirit embodies the two principles in perfection. As you evolve in planes of spirit the difference becomes less and less.

Part Two

Question
Is it possible to sin on the other side? If so, what is the most common form of sin?

Silver Birch
Of course it’s possible to sin in our world. The sins of the spirit world are the sins of selfishness, but in our world they are speedily revealed. They are known as soon as the thought is in the mind, and the effect is seen far more quickly than he is in your world of matter. It registers on the one who commits the sin and makes him spiritually lower than he was before. It is difficult to define more clearly in your language what the sins are, except they are sins of selfishness.

Question
The heavens or spirit spheres are, relatively to this earth, real and substantial, ruled over by wise chiefs, lords or gods. Has a history of these heavenly kingdoms been made known to us earth dwellers?

Silver Birch
There have been many to whom the organisation of the world of spirit has been revealed, but we do not have spheres with chiefs. The only chiefs are natural laws. The world of spirit is not a world where spheres are marked off with boundaries such as you have. It is a progressive life from lower to higher stages, with no boundaries, because they are all merged into one another. As the soul gradually unfolds, it expresses itself on higher planes of spirit.

Question
If a person is compelled to live a life of loneliness on this earth, is he compelled to lead that life after death?

Silver Birch
Oh, no. The law is always perfect. The soul reaps its own reward and makes its own punishment. Those who are attracted by love and by affection will meet because their souls will naturally draw them together on that plane.

Questioned
Will it be possible to meet, in the spirit world, great geniuses for whom we might feel a strong attraction, such as Beethoven, Shakespeare and Michael Angelo?

Silver Birch
In most cases it will, because wherever there is love by the people of your world for one who helped your world, that creates a natural bond of sympathy which would draw them together in the world of spirit.

Question
When we pass out of the physical body, is the one we used in the spirit world as real and solid as the one we leave behind?

Silver Birch
Far more real and far more solid than the one that you leave behind in the world of matter, for your world is not the real world at all. It is only the shadow cast by the world of spirit. Ours is the reality and you will not understand reality until you pass into the world of spirit.

Question
Is the spirit world as natural and as material to the spiritual senses as the physical is to our presence senses?

Silver Birch
Far more, for this is reality. You are at present prisoners. Your are hampered by the material body to which you are restricted on all sides. You are only expressing a very small portion of your real selves.

Question
Do you converse mentally in the spirit world, or is language as we understand it used?

Silver Birch
Until people learn how to commune without speech. Speech is used.

Question
If one passes suddenly, will he be able to attune himself easily to his new environment?
Silver Birch
That depends on the evolution of the soul.

Question
What exactly happens at death, just after the breath has left the body?

Silver Birch
When the soul is conscious, it sees the spirit body with-drawing gradually and it opens its eyes in the world of spirit. It is conscious of those who have come to welcome it and it is ready to start his new life. When the soul is not conscious, it is helped through the passage and is taken to whatever place is necessary, it may be a hospital or at a home of rest, until it is ready for it to become aware of its new life.

Question
Shall we be with those we love in the spirit world, although separated by convention in the physical world?
Silver Birch
It is impossible to separate love from its beloved.

Question
When we enter the spirit world after leaving this life, do we meet our relatives who have passed on before?
Silver Birch
If love exist between them, yes. If love does not exist between them, no.

Question
Do the spheres of the etheric country in which you live surround the earth or the sun or planets?

Silver Birch
They do not surround any of them. They are not bounded by geographical distinctions. They are not located in forms of spheres or planets. They are part of the vast universe. They blend and interblend with all phases of life experienced in all planes of life. Some of these planes you know about. Others you do not know yet. For there are planets on which there is life as yet unknown to your world.

Question
Does the fabric of the etheric country have a material core, of which the earth is a local example?

Silver Birch
Am I material? Is love between men and women material? Is the inspiration of an artist material? Is the appreciation of musical material? The answer to these questions depends on what you call material. If you mean is it real, does it possess reality, then I say yes. Yes, for spirit is the greatest reality of life, and that which you call material, the world of matter... is but the shell, which surrounds the reality.

Question
Is the etheric country immersed in the electromagnetic or in the gravitational field of the denser core of material matter so that both travel through space together, with the motion of the earth and the motion of the sun, towards the constellation of Hercules?

Silver Birch
We are not affected in the world of spirit by the earth's rotation, for we do not have day and night. Our energy is not derived from the sun whose rays give life to your world. Gravity only applies to things of matter, not to things of the spirit.

Question
What is the limit to speed of travel by spirits?

Silver Birch
We have no limitation of time or space in our travels. To those who are experienced in spirit life there are no limitations. We can travel to any part of your world of matter with the rapidity of thought, which to us is our great reality. Those who dwell in any grade are limited in their travel to that grade. They cannot exceed it. They cannot travel higher in the realms of spirit than the unfolding of their character has reached. That is their limitation. But that it is the limitation spirit in spirit life.

Question
Are there separate spirit worlds connected with all inhabited planets?
Silver Birch
That which you call the spirit world is but the spiritual expression of the universe, which embraces all life expressed in all planes.

Question
Is their only one spirit world?
Silver Birch
Yes, but it has an infinite number of expressions, and life on planets other than earth is embraced as well as your world of matter, because they have their spiritual expression as well as their physical expression.

Question
Will one be able to recognise, after death, one's child who died when very young?
Silver Birch
Yes, because they will be shown the child, as they knew it. They always forget that the child will know the parents, for the child has been watching over them all the time and will be the first to greet them when they comes to my world.

Question
How is an inflictor of capital punishment, such as a hangman or the operator of an electric chair, judged when he reaches the spirit world?
Silver Birch
If he knows it is wrong, he will pay the penalty for sinning with knowledge. If he does not know that it is wrong, then there will be no punishment.

Question
Shall we, after we pass on, be punished for having eaten animal meat?

Silver Birch
When you have reached that stage in your evolution when you know it is not right to eat the lesser creation of the Great Spirit, then you inflict on yourself a punishment for doing that which you know to be wrong. If you have not reached that stage of evolution, then your soul is not yet aware that it is wrong and there will be no punishment. Always there is a price to be paid for knowledge. That prices responsibility.

Links after passing

Question
Do the love ones who have gone into the spirit world always know what the people left on earth are thinking?
Answer
If they are loved ones, that is, if there is love between them. I must try to be a little more explicit. The people who dwell in my world are not always eavesdropping, but those who were bound by ties of love are still together, despite the incident of death. What your world does not understand is that those who were called dead are still there. It is not as if they are in another universe; it is all part of the same universe. All life is one, but with millions of gradations. The unfortunate part is that the awareness that they are present is not realised by the people of your earth, but the ones who have died, as you call it, are close, just as close, and in many cases closer than they have ever been before. Now, having transferred their expression of life from a material phase to a spiritual one, all the faculties of the spirit are the reality, and the attributes of the body are shadowy, so that to those who love you, your thoughts are more real than your words. But if there is no love, then there is no tie, there is no association, for on the spiritual plane love is the guiding principle.

This makes a lot of sense : But if there is no love, then there is no tie, there is no association, for on the spiritual plane love is the guiding principle.
IMO, I see no purpose in coming into contact with anyone in the spirit world who has caused much pain whilst they were here on the earthplane.

[Spiritmessenger]

Capital punishment

I have never hesitated to say what I regard is spirit teaching: that one murder does not justify another. The people of your world must distinguish between justice and revenge. To send any soul unprepared into our world may justify the lowest passions of humans in your world, but it accomplishes nothing. Justice should be done. By your world performing murder it has not increased by one iota its spiritual upward evolution. Instead it has descended and indulged in an "eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth". when passion usurps reason what follows cannot be right. We must adhere to principles which we know are true because they are founded on the indisputable fact that life continues after physical death. You create more and more troubles by sending into our world people who are unprepared for it. In some cases the execution is preformed on the wrong individual and justice is not done.

Life is sacred and is not yours to give or take away. Life is your responsibility. Life is not created by matter. Matter is created and sustained by life. Life is of the spirit, and life emanates from the Great Spirit, life is divine. When you deal with life and his expressions you should always adopt the highest standards of mercy, compassion and sympathy. Make sure that your motive is right in whatever you do. You will not solve your problems that way at all. Love is the fulfilling of the law. Whatever you do must be an attempt to help, not to exact revenge. Another murder does not excuse the first one. Killing by the state does not solve any situation. If you meet force with force you're not encouraging the power of goodness, compassion and kindness to be exercised. All punishment must be remedial and redemptive. The object should always be to enable the soul to come into its own. To send in to our world souls that are unready merely increases problems. He does not lessen them in your world or ours. Besides, you can make mistakes.

If you were asked to broadcast on the truth of spiritualism, what would you say?

Life cannot die. I would say that you are immortal, deathless, that the ones for whom you have mourned, for whom the tears of sorrow have streamed down your cheeks, stand silently by your side... silent to you because you cannot hear them, but their voices have cried out in anguish for a long time in their striving to reach you. You're either dead, the dead who are unconscious of life, as it really exists. You have closed your eyes tore all the beauties of the great spirits Universe. You have allowed yourselves to register only the infinitesimal fraction of an earthly world. All around you the whole atmosphere teams with multitudinous life. If you are wise you will open the windows of your souls, so that you can become aware of that mighty power of the spirit, which will strengthen you and encourage you.

Racial division
How can we young people best channel our efforts towards healing the rift between coloured and white people?

Only by example. If you show by your own lives that to you there are no yellow, red or black souls, that bodily skin has no relationship to soul qualities, then you will attract towards you those who are subjected to these bars, bans and barriers. The Great Spirit, with infinite wisdom, devised it that all his children should possess many coloured hues, so that together the perfect family makes the rainbow. A white skin is no evidence of supremacy, neither is a coloured skin evidence of an inferior spirit. The real test is when you exhibit qualities of divinity that is when the spirit is supreme.

Inter-racial superiority
Surely your world must be in error when it thinks that superiority can be determined by pigmentation, bar the colour of the skin. Superiority is attained only through service. There is no other road. You are not greater or lesser in spirit if your skin is white, brown, red or black. The colour of your skin does not reflect the development of your soul. Your world tries to judge each eternal problems by physical standards, but there is only one eternal standard that is the standard of the spirit.

Racial inter-marriages
All races and all colours are part of the great spirit of all life who provides harmony in the perfect mixture of all hues. Looking at nature's handiwork and realise that no matter how profuse or variegated are the colours of flowers and a vast garden, never is the note of disharmony or coloured discords struck anywhere. When the colours are blended among men, you will be emerging towards the perfect race.


Suicide
Is it ever permissible for a person to pass on by his own act?
No, you must live your lives according to the law, for the law is always perfect in its operation. It is controlled by perfect love and by the Great Spirit who is in all things and who works through all things. You have no right to interfere with the operation of the law, and if you do you must pay the price for cutting yourself off. If you force the apple to drop from the tree before it is ripe, then the apple has no sweetness. If you force yourself to go into the next stage of life before your spirit is ready, then you will have to pay the price in the long adjustment that you will have to make. It will also have the effect of causing you to be separated from the ones you love, for you will have made a gulf.

What is the status of suicide in the spirit world?
You cannot answer that rights away it depends on the earthly life that has been lived; it depends upon the qualities that have been developed; it depends upon the soul's progress; and, above all these things, it depends on the motive. The churches are wrong when they say that all suicide comes in the same category; it does not, you have no right to terminate your earthly existence, there are undoubtedly in many cases, ameliorating factors, mitigating circumstances, to be considered. No soul is better off because it has terminated its earthly existence. But it does not automatically follow that every suicide is consigned for aeons of time into the darkest of the dark spheres.

Does the suicide suffer any great setback when he takes his own life?

Of course. All though there are always exceptions, but they form the minority. As you know, in all cases I always say the motive is a dominating interest. But your soul is judged on its own conduct. You write with your own hand your own book of life. The entries are indelible; you cannot cheat. You judge yourselves. The law is fixed and unalterable. We say face-up to your responsibility. No situation is as dark as you think it is.

Spirit world
Why are there variations in mediumistic descriptions of the spirit world?

You have to realise that we live in an infinite world and thus there must be an infinite variety of experiences for its dwellers. Life in our world is graded spiritually and thus there are differences of experience for all who are here. Anyone communicating with you can transmit only what he or she has experienced at that time. With progress, that soul will move to another plane of being which can cause him or her to revise an opinion previously held. So it depends on the evolution of the communicator as to what pictures are being transmitted to your world. You must remember that the closer the communicator is to your world, the more limited is the ability to express what is higher in the scale of spiritual values which he or she has yet to attain. My advice is always the same. Treat every communication from our world with reason. If your common sense says, "No, I cannot accept this," then reject it. We are not infallible. We have not attained perfection, because that requires eternity. The process, as I have already said, is infinite.

Realms of spirit
If the spirit world it is a replica of this one, are all the ugly things duplicated- slums, bad working conditions and so on?

These conditions are duplicated in the lower realms of the astral world because they are the natural environment for many who cannot picture life existing under any other circumstances. You must remember that this is not the reality, but rather the expression of the mentality of those who dwell on such a plane of living. The moment they realise they are not compelled to live in squalor and dirt... in conditions that proximate to the worst of the earth life... then they are freed; and the only ones who dwell there are those who are first of all so ignorant that they cannot conceive of anything different, and those who are not yet spiritually ready to move upwards. You must realise that it is all part of the wise provision that there should be easy steps in the unfoldment of the spiritual life. If there were no easy steps, then the shock caused by the transition can be a very, very terrible thing.

At first glance that may seem logical but we see matters only from a highly restricted perspective...

Every case will be different but there may be reasons why both 'offender' and 'victim' seek to meet up. The offender may wish to apologise to the victim, a victim may feel the need to confront the offender.

And what if we were the offender, maybe an unwitting one? Would we not wish for the opportunity to say "sorry" to someone we later found we'd 'wronged'. To give chance for the victim to have their say?

In that, of course, love IS being expressed in a concern for others - things may not be as simple as they appear when we speak about pain being caused or felt.

Excuse me, but why are we seeing all this stuff from Silver Birch? We don't quote long chapters of the Bible in here, we don't quote long portions of Buddhists texts or Hindu texts or any other system. Why do I keep seeing these really long channeled messages in a forum that is not for channeling? What do they need to sell more books or something?

I like when I enter a forum and see a post that it is from a real live person so we can have a give and take. Now they are allowing accounts to be made for spirit entities? There should be a distinction. And it should be placed in the channeled messages forum.

I'm fully in agreement.

Discussion forums are for that - discussion.

But, incidentally, Silver Birch's teachings were given through his entranced medium, Maurice Barbanell - not 'channelled'. So the pieces are not appropriate for the 'Channelling' forum either....

Perhaps the most appropriate place would be under either the 'Spiritualism' or 'Mediumship' heading but even then only for short extracts relevant to a discussion thread.
