This is how the Lord, in His infinite Wisdom, allows each of us to find our own home. From time to time it is useful, and sobering, to think of how we are going to react when our turn comes. Those things that we don't want to reveal in the world of spirits must be left in this world by repentance, reformation, and regeneration. In them, good spirits see what evil is and its quality, and what man is when he is not led by the Lord. No one is punished for deeds done during life in the world.
Death wipes the slate clean.
Evils done in youth that have been put off will not come back to haunt us. Spirits are only punished on account of the evils done while in the world of spirits. Everyone after death returns to his own life and thus into like evils. Good spirits are never punished because their evils do not return even though they had committed many evils in the world. By revealing internals and shedding externals, a spirit is led home.
