What are the seven levels of Heaven?
There are seven levels to Heaven, all that reflect the status of your purity. You work to shed your sin before death and will find yourself in one of these homes when you arrive. From lowest to highest: Limbus, Tellur, Ether, Sidereus, Diaspeiria, Orphos, and Empyrean.
- Limbus
- Not unlike Limbo, Limbus is what separates the world of Earth from Heaven itself. As similar to Limbo of the Infants and the Fathers, Limbus treats good people who were unable to escape their sin by giving them a home in this lowest level. Why is it not of Hell? Well, we can recognize a good person who simply did not achieve this greater status, can't we? They won't suffer in Hell, but they are far from Heaven and much further from God. It stands between the living and the other planes because it is the lowest of all efforts, which is no effort at all. It is only a sliver between Earth and Tellur
- Tellur
- Tellur definition wise refers to Earth, though is not Earth itself in Heaven. Simply as the lowest level closest to our world that is not the boundary line that is Limbus, it is as distant from Heaven as you can get without going to Hell.
- Ether
- Only just past Tellur, Ether is the sky above our Earth.
- Siderius
- You have reached the level now exiting what would be seen the mundane levels of Heaven that the average person will go to without thought on their sin. Siderius reaches the stars themself, and while a step closer to true purity it is still distant from the home you should aim to reach. The average amount of effort from one who believes and recognizes their own sins will likely lead them here.
- Diaspeiria
- While you get closer there becomes more detachment, as much as you may think otherwise. It becomes harder for one to reach the seventh level and so the work to get there is a clear distance so that you are reminded that there is a struggle you must face and pass.
- Orphos
- It may be a shock to find your home in Heaven is a name attached to the word of "orphan" when you are so close. But you are not-- you are even more alone as you do not manage to find your way to the seventh level. Your efforts may seem incredible but God will not take you in as His child unless you surpass that level. Recognize how you failed despite trying so hard, as you remain orphaned by God in Heaven.
- Empyrean
- The home of purity. To reach Empyrean is to be undoubtedly, fully, free of sin. You reside above all of that below, in the home of God. Your efforts on Earth result in true freedom of self in the afterlife. As you are not reborn, residing within Empyrean concludes your life as one who truly believes in not just your religion but yourself as well.

How do I follow these teachings?
If you are questioning what you must do in order to truly follow the Seventh, then you expect answers. It may be harsh to say you won't get those answers, but you must keep reading in order to understand what it means... It is scary to not know what you desperately feel you need to understand in order to ascend, but it is reality that you will not know everything.
While it is commonly stated by most Christians that you need to study diligently, we believe it is false and near impossible for one to learn everything they need to know from studying the Bible. What does this mean, really? If we want to understand the sin we want to shed from our bodies, we also need to understand that those sins are not simply one action. Violence, abuse, stealing, homosexuality, fornication, deciet... more and more words continue on the list. But those words taper out as we run out of vocabulary... Because at some point we cannot fathom or define all that we can do. No one word can describe everything that goes between.
So your first instruction is... acceptance. The reason why we ALL need to cleanse is because of this. Fear may at first hit you at this thought and that is only natural. But fear should motivate. Understand the unknowable by knowing your very existence has potential to fall into all the sins, and very much those we have no word for. In doing this, you can begin to follow the path of forgiveness and cleansing.
