A person who seriously ponders life and death would naturally wonder what this Kingdom of Heaven is that Jesus often spoke of during his brief time on Earth.
We can understand that it implies an immaterial dimension of life after death, as a continuation of our incarnation here on Earth, a place of trial and training. All religions, with varying nuances among them, refer to this immaterial state as a continuation of life.
The world of the souls and the spiritual evolution
From this Heavenly Kingdom, the souls return as reincarnations to fill the gaps in their existence. This is also an ancient doctrine that was formulated primarily in the East (such as in Indian philosophy) and provides answers regarding the different qualities of people. These include personal characteristics and living conditions, as well as trials and atonements for the burdens of past lives.
The order of the invisible world
We therefore conclude that this Kingdom, invisible to our eyes, operates thorugh an organized spiritual order. Within this order, certain beings welcome, examine, and instruct souls. Thus, some souls are reincarnated at the station of their trials, while others proceed to other spheres of Creation, following their path of advancement and evolution toward a purpose that remains a mystery to us.
