I am Told “Heaven” Has Levels
Including purgatory in the basement — some have to go all the way back down to Earth to find the hellish penance they deserve

This story responds to Tiffany’s Do Heaven And Hell Really Exist?- Swedenborg’s Theory, What happens to us when we die? Tiffany writes:
I don’t think hell is actually a fiery pit of doom that you’re cast in for eternity. In fact, I don’t think it’s on fire at all. Our creator has the most forgiving spirit to ever exist, why would he send us to suffer for eternity with no way out?I think if it does exist, it’s kind of like a rehabilitation center where you work on releasing all the bad things you did on earth and cleanse your spirit.
I believe that describes the basement level of heaven — what has come to be known here as purgatory.
I do not believe “Hell” exists, but I do believe that "hell on earth exists." The soul of a pathological narcissist, for example, has to live a throwaway life of pure torture for the soul watching its animus behave monstrously. That is its penance for soooooo fucking up from a spiritual perspective its prior life.
Now, this next notion I have not yet discussed with my guides. I do not know if once the throwaway life sentence has been served, whether the soul gets promoted back to its pre-fuck up level in heaven, or if it has to work its way back up the chain. Ane, do you have any thoughts on this that you can share? Anyone else? Please do share.
