In the book, Visions of the Spiritual World, the Christian missionary and mystic, Sadhu Sundar Singh, from India, describes his “journeys” to the afterlife, from “judgment” to placement at various levels, including this, where, he said:
“All can see the lives of others as they are.
“The all-revealing light which flows out from the Christ in Glory makes the wicked in their remorse try to hide themselves, but it fills the righteous with the utmost joy to be in the Father’s kingdom of Light.
“There, their goodness is evident to all, and it ever increases more and more, for nothing is present that can hinder their growth, and everything that can sustain them is there to help them. The degrees of goodness reached by the soul of a righteous man is known by the brightness that radiates from his whole appearance; for character and nature show themselves in the form of various glowing rainbow-like colors of great glory. In Heaven, there is no jealousy. All are glad to see the spiritual elevation and glory of others, and, without any motive of self-seeking, try, at all times, truly to serve one another. All the innumerable gifts and blessings of Heaven are for the common use of all.
“No one out of selfishness ever thinks of keeping anything for himself, and there is enough of everything for all. God, who is Love, is seen in the person of Jesus sitting on the throne in the highest Heaven. From Him, Who is the ‘Sun of Righteousness,’ and the ‘Light of the World,’ healing and life-giving rays and waves of light and love are seen flowing out through every saint and angel, and bringing to whatever they touch vitalizing and vivifying power.
“There is in Heaven neither east or west, nor north nor south, but for each individual soul or angel, Christ’s throne appears as the center of all things. There also are found every kind of sweet and delicious flower and fruit, and many kinds of spiritual food. While eating them an exquisite flavor and pleasure are experienced but, after they are assimilated, a delicate scent, which perfumes the air around, exudes from the pores of the body.
“In short, the will and desires of all the inhabitants of Heaven are fulfilled in God, because in every life God’s Will is made perfect, so under all conditions, and at every stage of Heaven, there is for everyone an unchanging experience of wonderful joy and blessedness.”
