What is the spiritual realm
After death, the soul is believed to leave the physical body and enter the spiritual realm. This transition is often seen as a continuation of the life that was lived on earth, with the soul facing judgment based on its deeds in life.
The concept of a realm refers to an area or territory that can be defined by certain characteristics. When we say "spiritual realm," we are referring to the territory of the spirit.
The spirit is often associated with good and evil, and as such, the spiritual realm is believed to have both positive and negative energies. This means that the spiritual realm is home to both good and bad spirits.
In this context, the spiritual realm is understood to consist of angels, which are good spirits, and demons, which are bad spirits.
These entities are believed to exist in the spiritual realm and are often associated with certain behaviors or attributes.
For instance, angels are often associated with benevolence and protection, while demons are associated with malevolence and destruction.

In some belief systems, the spiritual realm is seen as a place of rest and reward for the good, while for others, it is a place of punishment for the wicked.
In my view, the spiritual realm is likely to have hierarchies, with God presiding over the highest hierarchy. This concept of hierarchies is similar to the Asgard of Norse mythology, where the gods lived in a hierarchical structure with Odin at the top.
In the spiritual realm, the forces of good and darkness are believed to clash, with the story of 1/3 of the angels siding with Lucifer and the rest with God being a well-known example of this.
This conflict is often seen as a reflection of the battle between good and evil that is believed to be ongoing in the world.
