The Levels of Inhabitable Worlds in the Universe
The Spirit Universe is teeming with life. It is all around us and on countless planets rotating around countless stars. The majority we can’t detect, since life occurs in many dimensions other than our own dense plane.
Spiritism, through Allan Kardec’s, The Gospel According to Spiritism, has illuminated the stages of planets through which maturing spirits must travel through on their way to perfection.
The earth used to be the first stage, a primitive planet, where our caveman ancestors lived a short and brutal life. The earth has graduated since then and is headed toward a better place, as the masses of spirits on earth learn to become civilized beings.
Those who insist on retaining their selfish and materialistic behaviors will be sent to other planets once the earth rises in the hierarchy of spheres.
Primitive Planet
A primitive world is just what it sounds like – primeval. Think, being lost in the Amazon or in New Guinea amongst cannibals. According to Allan Kardec’s The Gospel According to Spiritism, “On the least evolved worlds, the beings that inhabit them are, to a certain extent, rudimentary. They have the human form but are devoid of any beauty. Their instincts are not tempered by any sentiment of refinement or benevolence, or by any notions of right or wrong. Brute force is the only law. With no industry or inventions, they spend life in conquest of food.”[i] There are vague notions of a Supreme Being, but overall, human spirits who have just reincarnated are sent here to first learn the consequences of evil.
World of Trial and Expiation
You are living on this world. There is more evil present than good. Now you know why life is not easy, because it is not supposed to be, while you are reincarnated on the planet Earth. There are three types of spirits who are residing on earth:
1. Spirits from Primitive worlds – They are on earth for an education, a chance to develop themselves through contact with more-advanced spirits.
2. Semi-civilized spirits – Spirits that are indigenous to earth, who have evolved little by little through long centennial periods.
3. Spirits undergoing trials from other planets – These spirits have already lived on other worlds, from which they were banished because they persisted in evil, and because they were a cause of disturbance to the good inhabitants. They have been relegated to living for a time among less advanced spirits, and since they carry with them their developed intelligence and the seed of acquired knowledge, they have the mission of helping them advance. That is why punished spirits are found in the midst of the most intelligent peoples. Having more sensitivity, the miseries of life are bitterer to them because sufferings bruise them more deeply than they bruise the primitive peoples, whose moral sense is more obtuse.[ii]
Regenerative Planet
What is a “Regenerative Planet” like? There is an explanation in The Spirits Book:
“Thus, in worlds of higher degree than our earth, wars are unknown, because no one thinks of doing harm to his fellow-beings, and there is consequently no motive for hatred or discord. The foresight of their future, which is intuitive in the people of these worlds, and the sense of security resulting from a conscience void of remorse, cause them to look forward to death without fear, as being simply a process of transformation, the approach of which they perceive without the slightest uneasiness.”[iii]
Hence, a regenerative world, is one where spirits prepare themselves to transition from a planet of tests and atonements (our earth) to even higher worlds of spiritual purity. There is still evil present to remind us of past follies. At least our planet is on an upward trend. On our new regenerative world we will still have trials, to help us learn and grow, but we will not have to atone for our past mistakes. As in life, there is always another level to attain. The best news is that we will be free of the baser emotions of pride, envy, and hate.
Happy Worlds
On Happy Worlds, we still retain our human form, although the senses are more acute. The body changes, as described in The Gospel According to Spiritism, “The specific lightness of the body enables rapid and easy locomotion; instead of dragging itself laboriously over the ground, it glides – so to speak – over the surface or sails through the air with no other effort than that of the will, in the way in which angels are portrayed.”[iv] With the improvement in our bodies, the years of infancy and adolescent are shorter, while the average lifespan is much longer than on earth today.
Politically on such worlds, “relationships between nations are always friendly and are never disturbed by the ambition of dominating their neighbor, or by war, which is its consequence. There are no masters, slaves or privileges of birth; only moral and intellectual ascendancy establish the differences of conditions and confer supremacy. Authority is always respected, for it is conferred only on those who have merit and it is always exercised with justice.”[v]
Hatred, jealousies and selfishness are not present. All feel a sense of fraternity and love, where the strong assist the weak. Possessions are in keeping with a person’s intelligence and no one lacks their basic needs for living. From here, the next transition is to a purified spirit, who lives on a heavenly world.
Heavenly or Divine Worlds
On a Heavenly or Divine world, there exists only pure spirits. There is no evil.
Our Future – The Foundation
We have a baseline, we are living in a world of Trial and Expiation and the goal of the Spirit world is to transition the earth to a Regenerative planet. We shall become a world where wars are unthinkable and free of pride, envy, and hate. This sounds impossible. First, all reality shows would be cancelled and whole industries wiped off the face of the planet. But think for a minute, how far we have come from days when the world was full of tribes, where the only law, was the law of survival.
