I had an experience that works with “purgatory” in which apparently some sort of place between Earth and heaven. I had a quality friend and mentor, Cherokee elder and wisdom keeper, John Red Hat Fight it out. He taught spiritual truth all the way, an evening meal he had trouble living those teachings himself. Anyway, three days after he died, his “presence” came back to me and I felt he was very devastated as to what he had failed to be able to in this lifetime. He related with myself that he previously had been given permission that can me regarding work Creator has given me to be able to. Apparently he could earn something on another side if you as I was able to the physical stuff in such a side.
