From the Material World Through the Spirit World
There have been some people who entered into the spirit world or the afterlife while living in this world. Swedenborg was one of such people. But, they entered into the spirit world or the afterlife with their living minds or souls. It tells that a mind can work in the spirit world or the afterlife like in this material world.
Or it might be contrary. A mind or a soul should be generated in the spirit world or the afterlife, but it surprisingly works in the brain of a man in this material world.
Anyway, our minds or souls survive death according to testimonies of those who have had near-death experiences. They saw the spirit world or the afterlife with their living minds in near-death states.
So, the conclusion is that the key to realizing and understanding the spirit world or the afterlife is a man's mind. Indeed, the spirit world or the afterlife is not a material world but the world that can be felt and lived by living minds.
We might be surprised to know that our minds or souls also work in the spirit world or the afterlife. But, angels, spiritual entities, etc. in the spirit world should be surprised to see that minds or souls could also work in men living in the material world.
Anyway, the spirit world should come before that material world. The God should have come far before men.
Therefore, it is no wonder that miracles or paranormal phenomena can happen even in this material world through minds of men such as the Lord Jesus Christ who are closely linked to the spirit world. Even His followers with strong and pure faith in Him and the God are said to have been able to cause miracles or paranormal phenomena through their specific mind states.
Even ordinary men without ostensible religious faith can sometimes cause miracles or paranormal phenomena such as spoon bending only if they have at the bottom of their hearts and minds strong and pure belief in possibility of existence of mysterious power.
In this material universe it is said that unknown dark energy and material account for 95% of all. Like that spiritual energy and work might account for 95% of the energy and work of our mind inside the brain. We might consciously live only with 5% of potential energy and work of our minds in the brains.
And, at the highest level or in the extreme case, our minds or souls can penetrate into the spirit world or the afterlife. Through this process, some saints or men with the supernatural power should be able to take spiritual power, which surpasses physical laws, to this material world, causing miracles or paranormal phenomena.
So, miracles caused by the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Mary written in the Gospels should be taken as truth.
Therefore, miracles should be common in the spirit world or the afterlife. But, above those miracles, dignity and glory of the God should shine. Indeed, it must be a long way from this material world to the Kingdom of the God through the spirit world or the afterlife.

28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
