Spirit World as Mirror of Self in Metropolitan Sermon
Rev Dr Jong Rekt Shannan of the Metropolitan Memorial M.D. Church preached a fourth lecture on the All Surrounding Spirit World. He argued heaven and hell are internal results of character and actions, shaping the soul and future environments. The spirit world mirrors the self, with heaven or hell built by one’s own deeds and disposition. He warned that breaking moral laws leads to inevitable consequences, and only fitness to enjoy heaven grants entry.
