In the same way the soul often experiences a "heaven" in accordance with its hopes, beliefs and longings of earth-life.
The Law of Karma which rules the earth-life of man, and which regulates the details of his rebirth, is said to operate on the Devachnic Plane as well, thus deciding the time of his abode on that plane, and the time when the soul shall proceed to rebirth. The state of existence in Devachan is described at length in the Theosophical writings, but is too complex for full consideration here.
"Not yet," replied David, "but we expect to be." "I don't understand; you seem to know; teach us. May we be married here?" David explained the principle of celestial marriage as it had been revealed to them in earth-life, and contrasted that doctrine with what was usually taught.
In proportion to the ability of the people of this civilization to receive something into their souls out of the world of thought thus created, were they able to escape Ahriman’s clutches during earthly life, and thereby elude him in the life after death, during which they were to be prepared for a new earth-life.
Still, whatever it may be, if it is firmly impressed upon the mind of the dead person, it is undoubtedly desirable that he should be enabled to deliver it, as otherwise the anxiety to do so would perpetually draw his consciousness back into the earth-life, and prevent him from passing to higher spheres.
A man can look out upon all this glory and beauty only through the windows which he himself has made. Every one of these thought-forms is such a window, through which response may come to him from the forces without. If during his earth-life he has chiefly regarded physical things, then he has made for himself but few windows through which this higher glory can shine in upon him.
Neither was this courtship exceptional. Among the vast multitude in the spirit world there are many who did not mate in the brief time allotted to them in the earth-life; therefore, congenial spirits are continually meeting and reading "life's meaning in each other's eyes."
There seems to be an intuitive recognition of the connection of the two ideas. And on the other hand, there seems to be a close connection between the several views of "special creation" of the soul before both the single earth-life and the eternity of reward or punishment in a state or place lacking progression or change.
"She means," explained Signe, "that she did not marry while in earth-life, for the very good reason that she had no chance " "None such that I could accept," added Rachel. Then as the newly-found friend looked at her inquiringly, she continued: "I have always believed, and I believe now, that I have a mate somewhere, but he has not yet been revealed.
But the Day-Spring from on high hath visited us. What element from the Divine is in it, does not concern itself with this earth-life; tells you nothing in criticism of life. There is naught in it of the Soul as Thinker, nor of the Soul as Warrior.
