The First Steps of the Soul in its Postmortal Life

Planes and Levels “of the other World”

Let us remind you that the whole Universe (in its roughly simplified and primitive concept for ease of understanding!) is like a special Sphere without a beginning or an end. This giant multilevel Sphere has a countless and unimaginable number of vortexes of elementary particles and atoms constantly dashing at various speeds and frequencies, which, nevertheless, form an infinite number of internal spherical capsules and partitions joined together by an infinite number of separate vortexes of energy in shape of tunnels, multidimensional “points of intersection” and so no. These vortexes of elementary particles and antiparticles, atoms and coatoms form inside the Sphere billions of billions of energy formations with different levels of vibrations and material bodies of different density.

When after Death people cross the outer border of our Existence, they find themselves immediately at the most external level of the Outer Sphere of vibrations of the Subtle World, which has seven stages of knowledge, seven overtones or seven ranges of sounding. We have also mentioned that between different time-space dimensions there is a state of energy which we define as “Emptiness”. It is this Emptiness that separates different vibration levels or overtones in order to prevent incidental penetration of unqualified Consciousnesses into subtler and higher dimensions.

The Outer Sphere itself is like a very complex multidimensional spiroid energy-information structure all vibration spirals of which consist of numerous levels and come from the Center of Universal Love. Inside the Outer Sphere, there is, in its constant motion, another spiroid Inner Sphere which is smaller in volume but is much higher in quality of its energy composition. The Inner Sphere is also centered on Divine Love.

The outer part of its Space is formed by centripetal evolution spirals, and its inner Space consists of centrifugal vortexes of the purest Prime Energy or Spirit Monads dispersing in all directions of the Universe. The whole Space of the Inner Sphere is also divided into seven energy stages of knowledge.

Individual Spirits, incarnating everywhere in the material Universe, including our Earth, represent concentrations or creative combinations of intelligent Energy of the same type pertaining to the Inner Sphere. All of them once “fell” voluntarily, that is intentionally, for sake of a high Goal; they AS IF “lost” their level of Consciousness and lowered themselves to the level of “conscious Existence” in order to restart everything from the beginning, AS IF anew. That is exactly Evolution, that is coming back of a Spirit through Matter to its Origin, to its spiritual Source.

Consciousness becomes dense for Matter to appear. Only a Spirit can bring life to Matter and make it capable of concentrating and binding. We would like also to note that the creative Space of Existence of Angels, Seraphim and Cherubim is exactly there, BEYOND the inner limits of overtones of the Outer Sphere.

Consciousness which has achieved the seventh inner stage is filled with the only desire - to merge with the Infinite Love or God. For such Consciousness it does not matter what sort of previous incarnations it had, how it looked, what it experienced and so on, because everything will be driven by only one purpose - to dissolve in the feeling which can be called “an infinite Joy” and float peacefully on the waves of Love and Serenity.

All intelligence, Intellect, all Knowledge of the Truth, everything what makes our so-called “past”, “present” and “future”, all Ideas and Prototypes, - all of it comes to us, people, by means of energy-information carriers from the Inner Sphere through the Outer Sphere and are at the disposal of ALL spiritual entities, but in accordance with the definition chosen by each individual Spirit for itself.

Between the two Spheres, near the outer limit of the Inner Sphere, there is the Noosphere or so-called “Akasha Chronicles”, - the Space filled with Knowledge accumulated for the long history of human evolution on Earth. It is an information network, and we are constituent parts and carriers of it.

It envelopes Earth in the form of torus or doughnut, also known as the Van Allen radiation belts, and has high radioactivity. It duplicates completely the information of all types of vibrations of every Thought-form and every Consciousness coming to and leaving Earth. The information is saved in billions of energy-information niches in the form of miniature plasma “doughnuts” or plasmoids. In appearance all this multidimensional space system resembles a huge Sphere which sparkles with golden shining and consists of cells very much like honeycombs.

There you can find forms of absolutely all things which ever appeared or may appear on Earth. For instance, you can view, in their visual and “palpable” forms, all inventions of the past or future, such as devices for levitation, different types of “perpetual motion machines”, aircrafts fueled by hydrogen and helium, complete projects of cities with big projection-towers to concentrate solar energy, equipment to cure cancer, AIDS and other diseases now considered to be incurable, and a great many of other inventions whose design and application were absolutely incomprehensible to me.

Please, account for the fact that everything I was observing in the World of Prototypes and “plasmoids” is assessed by me just like any fact of life of a particular country may be assessed by a traveler who came from another country. I express here only my opinion and may be mistaken in my valuation of what I saw. By the way, I have not encountered any astrosom of a living person or any Soul of a deceased human being there. It shows a very poor attendance of these “places” by people.

I also would like to note that you should not confuse the notion “Akasha Chronicles” with the close notion “the Book of Eternity” which represents high spiritual vibrations of conscious Energy that constitute a spiritual homeland of all living creatures of Earth. Akasha Chronicles is an information center inside and outside each of us. It is our WHOLE past, present and future at the same time. It is all Knowledge combined into experience gained by the Soul of each of us during all its incarnations.

Akasha Chronicles is not something specifically objective that exists separately from each of us living in rough-material and subtle-material Worlds of this planet, but is a main energy-information constituent part of each of us, living people and disembodied Consciousnesses, who use Earth temporarily for our development. Every living person gets information from the Noosphere. Its volume and quality corresponds to the level of the person’s Consciousness.

Besides us, people of Earth, this Knowledge is carried and used by an infinite number of energies in the form of conscious light particles - hosts of disincarnated spiritual beings or energy-information structures of human beings whose evolution on Earth is not complete yet. The whole Existence, at its different levels, is registered in Akasha Chronicles. It means that each of us carries all the Knowledge inside and may use it for own development. The subtler becomes Matter that envelopes Consciousness, the higher levels of Wisdom become available to the human being.

By the way, by 2012 all humanity will have to go through the Great Emptiness for each person, each human Consciousness to pass to the next octave of own existence and evolution by way of a complete unity with own Spirit and God-Love. Due to most intensive physical and chemical processes before the Transfiguration, the magnetic field of Earth will experience a total collapse which may result in the loss not only of the individual memory of Consciousnesses exposed to the powerful energy impact, but also of Akasha Chronicles.

Consciousnesses that dwell within Space of the Sphere of Akasha Chronicles consist of many energy-information levels. When human beings end their earth Life, their knowledge of Love-Wisdom begins to expand at corresponding levels of the Outer Sphere, - both by way of an incarnation in any of its astral Worlds and by way of further development in high spiritual Worlds of “Eternal Love” belonging to the Inner Sphere.

The Knowledge is divided into numerous stages of Cognition and circulates constantly in this Space until this or that Soul decides again to take another its material incarnation as a new personality. In such case it will take from its own Spirit only the information necessary to it for this particular path. That is why the Soul’s individual incarnation will take place only with a partial knowing necessary just to learn this particular lesson of Life.

That is why human beings cannot remember previous incarnations of their Soul. That would have only prevented it (but not them!) from fulfilling the task of its particular incarnation. Human beings are semi-conscious entities which, along with Spirit and Intellect, received only a part of God’s Love. Human beings are a by-product of the Soul’s evolution, which appeared as a result of cosmic genetic engineering and subsequent mutation. Their only distinction from animals is that they have free Will due to which they may improve the mechanism of their thinking and develop as PERSONALITIES.

Between the Noosphere and the external border of the Outer Sphere, vibrates the unity of Spirit and its 144 Souls-Analogs and Souls-Aspects (see details in the book “The Soul in the Zodiac”). All projections generated by the Central Consciousness, Love, God, are also constituent parts of all levels of Existence in Space between the Outer Sphere and the Inner Sphere. But at each level of vibrations of the Divine Energy (Consciousness) they undergo refraction that corresponds to the type of energy (Matter) of a particular level.

That is why Matter of any level represents a condensed part of the Divine Energy and also has its “own” Consciousness which influences very strongly spiritual beings living within the range of its vibrations. Each time deciding to go further and take a new path, a Soul-Analog takes information from its Spirit necessary to it only for this particular path. And when the Soul-Analog comes back from Earth, it adds what it has managed to learn to the rest of the Knowledge acquired by it.

But in order to get into one of returning centripetal flows of the Inner Sphere, Consciousness must overcome a great resistance of numerous vortex-like centrifugal flows that constitute internal space of the constantly rotating Outer Sphere. Until vibrations of Consciousness become pure to a certain quality, it is impossible to overcome the resistance of “dense” Matter of the external part of the Subtle World.

Outside the subtle-matter Outer Sphere, there is energy, measurable by physical instruments, in the form of quanta or light perceived by physical organs of vision. And atoms of dense Matter are created due to the rotation. Animate individuality (Spirit + Soul-Consciousness + Body-Matter) as an earth human PERSONALITY is also created there, beyond the abstract borders of the Outer Sphere.

Fundamental reasons that influence greatly the process of Transition are the direction of the Consciousness’s aspirations at the moment of Death and the quality of desires that determine the aspirations. When you move from one level to another, from one density of astral Matter to another, your spiritual body also changes in accordance with vibrations of your environment.

BUT! When we talk about levels of postmortal existence of the Consciousness, we must pay attention to the fact that in reality it is wrong to consider them definitely separated into some absolutely isolated Worlds like stories of a multistory building, which is peculiar to our human thinking,. It would be an absolutely wrong idea about the structure of the Subtle World, which does not have strict borders in Spheres of Existence. They change one another smoothly and imperceptibly, interpenetrate and infiltrate into each other from higher energies towards lower ones.

Just as you can listen to music performed by a symphony orchestra and imagine or hear the play of separate instruments among the simultaneous performance of the whole orchestra, say, a violin or a wind instrument, so it is possible to single out of the unified symphony of Matter of feelings twelve different sounds, twelve hues, passing from a light tone to a dark one, each of which cannot be in any way confused with another. This is how you should understand the level or overtones of postmortal Existence.

Even being in your physical body you can distinguish perfectly well a good or kind person and an evil or bad one, based on your own perception of vibrations coming from the person during your communication. These differences begin to manifest to a much greater degree immediately after the Transition, and if during your communication the strings of your own Soul do not sound in tune with those of your interlocutor, you will simply be unable to stay near each other, because everything will be in vain, - you will fail to find a response in his/her Soul. This very phenomenon means that you belong to different levels.

That is why after Death each person returns to the level which has identical Consciousness with the person, but not lower the vibrations that his/her Soul had during the beginning of its previous incarnation. That is, once gained spiritual level becomes the Soul’s Home, and it will definitely return to that very level to continue its spiritual development.

Of course various unselfish desires to help less developed Consciousnesses or other evolutionary missions are associated with the necessity of the Soul to “come down” to “lower” levels. However, at the same time it does not lose the connections with its Family, but simply puts on rougher energy clothing to be perceived more or less freely and consciously by Consciousnesses of lower levels. After its voluntary work, the Soul comes back to its Home into its spiritual Family.

The principle of the Soul’s coming back Home after a physical Death can be very roughly compared with school classes: no first-grade pupil can go immediately to study in the third grade or, say, in the tenth grade, if there are no substantial reasons of that, such as an inborn talent or genius. The pupil will have nothing to do there, because his/her Consciousness is not yet ready either to perceive or process the information peculiar to such level of Knowledge.

Unable to read or write, it is useless to speak about getting more complex knowledge at school. The same thing is after Death: until, during the Transition, Consciousness of a deceased person achieves a complete realization of continuation of Life after Death, he/she will be unable to go to any active level of the Outer Sphere of Subtle Existence.

Not only is the shape of beings living at distant levels of vibrations of Matter greatly different, but there is a very big difference between lower and higher levels in terms of the quality of Lives, possibilities and living conditions. The higher are vibrations, the easier it is for a spiritual entity to change its appearance, because the main element of the form of its manifestation at every particular level of existence is inner Light, its presence and quality. Colors of ambient Nature, the intensity of illumination of a particular World, aromas and the music of Sphere that fill it, - everything changes very drastically and incredibly according to the growth of Consciousness.

So, each deceased person, after a successful Transition through all steps of the external level of the Subtle World, goes to the level (or overtone) of his/her postmortal existence, the vibrations of which the person has managed to accumulate to the greatest degree in his/her field capsule (subtle body) due to previous incarnations of his/her Spirit, and especially due to the knowledge and experience gained during the last Life on Earth. Let us note that the Collective Consciousness of humanity on Earth now occupies almost completely the third overtone of the Astral Plane. Is this much or not?

After Death, human beings will have to pass through twelve overtones or stages of Consciousness, immediately or gradually, depending on the development level of their Consciousness achieved by them. Each of them may be relatively compared with days we live during Life. “A day” is a complete set of conscious moments of our Life, it is Life in Consciousness. They are our earth incarnations.

But there are sort of twelve shadow stages that exist in parallel with the “days”. They form a kind of opposite of these “days”, or, if you like, they are “nights” which we do not realize during Life. “A night” is everything imperceptible and unconscious to us, everything you experience when you sleep. These shadow stages contain Karma of former Lives of the Soul; and during their sleep human beings work it off.

We all exist simultaneously at different levels of Unified Existence, but we are aware of only a small part of it. The Soul is a set of different kinds of radiant energy tied to Consciousness of the physical body until it is possible for human beings to use it, that is until their Consciousness is awake.

As soon as the magnetic force of Consciousness of earth Matter disappears, the Soul starts off on its trip in “the other World”, thus realizing perceptions received by human beings at day and suppressed by their Consciousness. Simply speaking, when we are asleep “here”, we are awake “there”, and vice versa, when we “fall asleep” “there”, we act consciously “here”. It is very simple, unless you make it artificially complex in your own conjectures. Everything exists simultaneously everywhere in the Universe.

“The other World” is just a natural continuation of what is learnt by human beings on Earth. Because all our individual experience and knowledge acquired on this planet do not disappear anywhere. We keep them completely, they are added to those we already have and will serve us well beyond our earth Existence. Nothing can delete this knowledge of the Soul. The same applies to each human being.

After Death, human beings become united and integrated with their whole Consciousness. That is why all these 12 “days” and 12 “nights” of their earth Existence also come together forming a unified experience of everything gained and felt by their Souls when being “asleep” and “awake” in all previous incarnations.

After Death. in Consciousness of the deceased there is a synthesis of all the Knowledge of Existence of Spirit concealed during earth Life with the knowledge of the last Life of the Soul. The synthesis results in crystallization of the desire to continue their individual development. Immediately after that, the Soul of the deceased rushes to such area of the Subtle World, to such its energy-information level that has the most favorable vibration conditions for a further development and improvement OF THIS PARTICULAR CONSCIOUSNESS.

We may roughly compare the experience of our Soul with our Life on Earth, if we equal one incarnation of the Soul with a day lived by us on Earth. You know from your own experience that remembering very well what happened yesterday, a week or even a month ago, nonetheless, you do not only live looking back at your past, but move constantly ahead both in terms of your spiritual development and cognition of the surrounding World in yourself, and yourself in the World.

The continuation of the postmortal development of the Soul must not be necessarily connected with its new incarnation, but may happen in various ways. An incarnation, or taking a new earth body is chosen only in special cases and is always accomplished as the greatest Mercy of God and a voluntary act of the Soul.

In most cases a purely spiritual incarnation of the Soul takes place in numerous Worlds within the Space of the Outer Sphere, unless during its last earth incarnation the Soul has achieved a level which allows it to end its studies on Earth and come back to the Inner Sphere of Existence. Otherwise, in the Worlds of the Outer Sphere, the Soul will be provided with the most favorable conditions for its final recognition and deep feeling of itself (its true nature) in order to find among vibrations of the Outer Sphere the paths to continue its perfection.

In this respect, we would like to stress again the importance of all further development of the Soul’s state of the deceased: the quality of vibrations that fill you during dying will define vibrations in which you will have to start your new Life after your Death. If you die filled with fear and horror, you will start your postmortal existence with identical but much more intensive feelings, because during Life you failed to obtain knowledge and experience that would allow you to avoid such states.

Those who died filled with anger and hatred will start their new Life by experiencing themselves the vibrations of anger and hatred.

Those who died filled with envy will have to continue their lesson from knowing envy of other beings towards them.

Those who died in pursuit of violence will be many times assaulted until cognition of Love purifies their Soul removing the useless garbage of spiritual ignorance.

After Death, all debts will be undoubtedly paid a hundredfold to everyone both for evil and love, and everything secret will appear without fail on the surface of Consciousness as deep emotional sufferings and sorrows to bring the inexperienced Child of God to meekness and Love. It is not in vain that we ask God: “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors…”

The principle of movement from one level to another is very simple: in accordance with vibrations radiated by your Consciousness, you can, in your spiritual development, freely slide from one level to the nearest one locating “higher”. Those, whose Consciousness during Life was at the second overtone of vibrations, after Death can upgrade only to vibrations of the third overtone and not higher, BUT not lower either.

Such “step-by-step” or rather “level-by-level” principle of postmortal spiritual existence and development also means that, if you want to help somebody in his/her spiritual ascension, you can do it only to beings of “the nearest underlying” level to your own one.

There is no spiritual regress; there is only spiritual progress of Soul-Consciousness. But because we, people, do not have the possibility to KNOW and SEE true incarnation tasks of each separate Soul, we may consider some of its particular manifestations as SORT OF signs of its spiritual fall.

The knowledge attained by the Soul in its previous incarnations and returned to it again after Death prevents any spiritual fall of the Soul. Mistakes of Life make primarily suffer an earthly personality which after Death will have to learn slowly the meaning of its existence in God.

Mistakes committed by the Soul during its last physical Life and realized after Death will make the Soul take very promptly another incarnation, either a spiritual or a physical one. This desire will be as acute as the eagerness in Consciousness to develop spiritually as soon as possible. No one forces anyone to incarnate in a physical capsule, on the contrary, this is one of the infinite manifestations of God’s Love and Mercy which must be deserved by strong spiritual striving, because the number of physical human forms on Earth is limited.

The number of physical body-capsules of humanity on Earth suitable for manifesting a highly developed Soul is very limited. It is many times less the number of Consciousnesses which wish to incarnate on Earth and have accumulated for hundreds of thousands of years in Space-Time of our planet to work off their Karma. That is why any act of a thoughtless self-destruction or suicide is a terrible sin that after Death prevents the Soul from finding itself for a long time.

Even one-level upgrade of Consciousness after Death awakens in human beings the desire to help those who have not yet achieved the same level, and thus continue their own spiritual development or reincarnate on the planet where living conditions may provide the greatest possibilities for that.

Those who in their development have managed to achieve the levels of the Inner Sphere do not necessarily have to incarnate on Earth: there are innumerous myriads of planets that provide various conditions and possibilities for a spiritual development.

The point is that an incarnation on Earth allows to develop to the utmost some specific qualities that lack for the harmony of the Trinity of Main Forces of Life: Force of Will, Force of Spirit and Force of Love, - without which Consciousness simply cannot penetrate into Space of the Inner Sphere of Divine Existence.

Some peculiarities of Existence “in the other World

Life after Death does not disappear, on the contrary, it starts its active period for a great many of people, unless of course they was not filled with evil and hatred, depravity and selfishness during their last Life, if their Souls are pure and their Hearts ar e open to Good and Love. Such people should not at all be afraid of Death which will reveal to a still greater extent their beautiful spiritual Essence and set free their Divine Light hidden by their physical body.

I have already mentioned that everything described by someone or read by me before about the phenomenon of “Life after Death” is absolutely not in line with what I have personally encountered during my out-of-body astral explorations. Even Worlds of the lowest astral vibrations, whose Space dimension is not very different from our 3-dimensional “reality”, have their own design, structure and principles of active influence on Consciousness which cannot be compared at least to a small degree to what we have here, on Earth.

To put it more precisely, “THERE”, at all “bellow-middle” levels of the Outer Sphere of the Astral World, in terms of appearance there are many common elements that have thematic, abstract connections with our habitual reality, because after Death human beings continue to think and create at the same quality level they had during Life. When after Death you go in your subtle body beyond your physical Life, all your present beliefs and priorities will become your complexes there and will chase you to a much greater extent making your inner nature either improve in quality, or dissolve gradually in Astral Matter.

Let not deceive yourself by many descriptions of Existence of inhabitants of the Subtle World as absolutely safe and carefree, where nothing and nobody can hurt the Soul of the deceased. In term of an individual evolution of the Soul, gaining experience of existence by the Soul, a degree of knowledge it is true, - nothing can hurt it.

But if we mean a purely emotional state and a quality level of psychic feelings of the deceased, that is a big mistake, because all through their Life human beings do nothing but accumulate actively all their fears, ideas and desires not in their physical body but exactly in their astral conductor which becomes their body of manifestation immediately after their physical Death.

Invisible to the eye, Worlds of the Astral Plane whose vibrations are the closest to us - only in their appearance! - have almost the same structure as our World. For instance, when I visited an area where inhabitants call themselves “Lamits”, I was surprised to encounter in one place a very large group of people who imagined themselves in a real environment of the traditional orthodox “Heaven”. That means that during Life they had ONLY SUCH image of Heaven and did not even Thought about another scenario after their Death.

So, if being alive they wanted so much to go exactly to SUCH place, they got it when they died. Their entire postmortal Life now consists only of wearing long white garments with crowns on their heads among “pastures of heaven”, eating “manna from heaven”, playing harps and singing psalms.

At the moment when I decided to leave that “Heaven”, in the east, just near the horizon, all of a sudden a large glow appeared like the rays of the rising sun, although it was not in the morning but at broad daylight and everything around was lit by a soft golden light. All the inhabitants of “Heaven” turned at once toward the glow and stayed motionless in a tense, joyful expectation. The face of each of them had an expression of the highest reverence and happiness.

The glow approached gradually and on its background a small human figure began to appear more and more clearly and brightly. The figure radiated soft and glaring golden Light. Without any explanations I understood that it was Jesus Christ Himself, the Nazarene, who came to His flock. When He approached closely enough and stood at the very top of a small mountain, many people dropped to their knees and began to bow to Him.

He, looking gently at the gathered people (I suppose there were about two-three thousand of them, maybe more), extended both hands to them as though He wanted to caress them all at the same time. And then, when His shining became a little weaker, - most likely to cause people less discomfort when they looked at Him, - a little lamb appeared all of a sudden in His right hand.

Some moments later, everyone heard His normal human voice. It was very calm, but nonetheless much louder and more powerful than the one of an ordinary person. I guessed that all the people present there, including me, irrespectively to their nationality understood Him quite well.

He began to teach the people Love, spoke of Mercy sent by God to all people, but on the whole His entire speech came down to the content of the Sermon on the Mount well-known to Christians. When He became silent, His image regained it previous brightness and as if vanished in the air. After that nobody could see Him.

Before coming back to my body, I looked at the people once more. They began to disperse toward their snow-white houses with glittering red-tile roofs in a wonderful blossoming valley. Each face bore the expression of a supreme bliss and inexpressible happiness from the meeting with the Son of God.

I understood that such meetings happen there on a regular basis and was envious in its best sense. So, each of them strived eagerly to get there during Death, and for those who were found worthy of such postmortal destiny, that great desire became their “spiritual fairway” in their existence after Death.

Nature of different areas of the Astral Plane is very diversified and unique. Each level has its own, if I may say so, dense forests, “savannas” or “jungles” where there are also rivers, lakes and swamps, where birds twitter aloud, where “wild animals” live. When suppose on Earth you find yourself in such a place and meet there with a dangerous animal, you have of course to protect yourself or run.

It is a usual pattern of the human conduct in a Life-threatening situation, which developed in us the so-called “instinct of self-preservation” for thousands of years. The pattern is securely implanted into our subconsciousness, and because after Death you switch automatically to the mode of active work of your subconsciousness, you simply cannot react otherwise in situations worked-out during your Life on Earth.

And everything what constitutes the foundation of vibrations of your astral body, your subconsciousness, will constitute your obligatory set during your “postmortal trip” over Spheres and Worlds of the Astral Plane. But unlike your earthly perception, all your internal property which you will take with you to your “postmortal existence” will become the foundation of your external environment.

Everything you now hide so thoroughly inside yourself, will come out automatically “to the surface”, and you will not be able to escape it until you change in terms of quality, that is vibrationally, to such extent that you would stop being a practical, that is energetic, object of interest to the whole set of Thought-forms, larvae (the malevolent tormenters) and elementals which you created yourself, by your Thoughts, feelings and actions, during your Life on Earth.

After your Death they will look quite real, practically almost like you. Although particles of astral Matter that constitutes these Thought-images have a substantial binding force between each other, they cannot be sensed or felt “by touch”. The main difference between them and the real dead is that they are unable to answer questions, because they do not have a real center of consciousness and cannot think on their own.

We should also note that there is a great number of intentionally created Thought-forms, made on purpose out of intensively concentrated Thought-Matter to be preserved for a very long time. Such Thought-forms constitute the basis of the picture of “a real” environment of inhabitants of the Astral Plane that have arrived there from Earth.

When the deceased begin to realize themselves after Death, due to the extraordinary plasticity of astral Matter, they begin gradually to recreate around them the Life style which would correspond to their most comfortable and purposeful, from their personal point of view, earth level or at least would be close to what was habitual to them on Earth.

They begin to remember intensively many most pleasant and desirable moments of their earth Life, and by the power of their imagination they reconstruct unconsciously around them the same environment in which they felt quite comfortable and cosy before their Death. Hosts of spiritual beings who have penetrated into God’s Love and serve this Love help eagerly the deceased and start gladly and delicately to play up to them in all their desires and whims that deal with communication or applying their own creative abilities.

We may say, that after Death each person becomes an active participant of his/her own scenario, written by his/her previous dreams, problems, aspirations, beliefs and interests. Leading and minor parts in this “performance of Life” are played by other deceased who dwell at “the nearest higher” vibration level and by virtue of their Love wish to help in their pursuit of knowledge.

Add to this the fact that around each of the deceased there are very many people with a similar level of development who are dead as well but made their Transition in past historical epochs, in other countries, with different outlooks, and you can easily imagine the unique diversity of Life, tastes, morals and views which literally fall on the head of each deceased person.

All that happen to you now “here” can happen to you as well “THERE”, only with one significant difference: all objects around you of “the other reality” are not outside, but inside you, in your Consciousness which generates intensively to ambient space many various Thought-forms formed by your fears, desires, views, tastes and bents. There, everything you have kept inside or concealed, what used to be secret and inaccessible to others, instantaneously gets flesh and becomes as “real” as you.

If in your memory and imagination there is nothing what could tie you with a danger and fear, for instance the fear to be eaten by wild animals, then you have nothing to fear after Death, - such danger cannot appear in any way in front of you after your Transition. If during Life you were not interested at all in lust, depravity, perversion, violence, killing and so on, you will not be in any way faced with such events after Death, because your astral body will not have the vibrations which, according to the Law of attraction of similar vibrations, would draw your Consciousness to the Spheres where such vibrations have to be annihilated.

BUT! In each of us, our lower nature “has piled up” so much of everything we even cannot imagine, and if it was not for a spiritual or rational “brake” inside us, we would have long ago turned into non-humans who live only by their lower instincts. The level of our Consciousness defines our earth Existence. The higher is that level, the more all sorts of involutional raffle we suppress easily inside us, or more precisely, - again according to the Law of similarity! - we remove these low-quality energies from our field capsule.

Let us remind you once more, that the so-called “other World” is “oversea”, where there is absolutely no earth time and anything related to it this way or another. This World, inaccessible for visiting by an ordinary living person, is divided into billions of other Worlds “tuned” to various levels of Consciousness which become open in each of us after Death that in fact is the first act of our spiritual Rebirth. Having got rid of the dense veil of the material World, a disembodied Soul finds itself and penetrates into the very essence of its previous earth Life.

For inhabitants of the Subtle World, we, the living, are also “inhabitants of the other World”. But they, unlike us, can communicate spiritually or psychically with us, because they are not at our place, IT IS US WHO ARE AT THEIR PLACE! We, people, occupy or constitute an active basis of the lowest evolutionary niche or level of their Existence. That is why our World is the farthest one from Reality among all other Worlds; Illusion is our fate.

Only Death sets us free from heavy shackles of non-existent delusions of earth Life and gives us the possibility to know closer various aspects of a truer Reality. Our Consciousness is the carrier of different levels of Reality. After the Transition, each person creates his/her own World which corresponds completely to his/her level of Consciousness.

Meetings with my mother

As an example, I am going to tell you about one of the meetings that happened personally to me. It will give you at least some understanding of the process that happens to the deceased after Death. You may not believe it as anything else I write in my books, but it is your own problem.

So, when my mother died, almost every day I made desperate attempts to meet her in one of the Worlds where she went after her Death. But everything was in vain: I was not simply allowed to go there. Wherever I went in my astrosom, as soon as I wished to meet my mother, I stumbled on an invisible barrier or I was simply drawn back into my physical body. When I asked my Instructor, he just answered that it was not time yet, it was forbidden.

Several months passed. When I even stopped to think about it, during one of my astral explorations, all of a sudden I met my mother. It happened six months after her Death. It was in the suburbs of a small town or village, where she lived together with my grandmother who passed away 25 years before her. The place reminded me a lot the best landscapes of a Cossack village, where they both were born, near the Kuban River which I knew well from my childhood.

At first I was just amazed, I did not recognize her, but in my Heart and through intuition of the son I perceived my mother in a beautiful girl in the full bloom of youth, the one who died at the age of 71 and was very corpulent by the end of her Life, moved a little and was very tired of the pain that tortured her for fifty years, from a deep wound in her back injured by a fragment of a German shell near the City of Novorossiysk.

I immediately remembered an old photograph that depicted her exactly at that young age. At that time, after WWII, she worked as a medical assistant in a small hospital of a Byelorussian town with a beautiful and romantic name - Lida.

I met her on the bank of a narrow but very rapid river which she called Kuban. And after enthusiastic greetings and joyful hugs we went to a deciduous forest. There, we sat for a long time near each other, on the emerald silky grass, among a sunlit meadow, in the shadow of two leafy birches which grew near a big bush of flowering jasmine, hand in hand, and talked happily.

By that time I got used to my astrosom in which I made my astral explorations: to my semi-transparent limbs that shine with silver-violet inner Light and are amazingly obedient, - with all their seeming evenness and softness, - to the slightest motion of my Thought; I got used to my infinitely flexible and, when necessary, infinitely durable body in which energies constantly and brightly sparkle like the lightest silk in a gush of wind. That is why the appearance of my mother did not look unusual to me. Although for a new astral explorer she would had seem just a beautiful fabulous character or a fairy who came down to earth from Heaven.

She looked to be light and airy, like a flake, although I percept really her whole transformed body, - its unusually thin density which, however, was enough to support its shape. I felt how it radiated shimmering Light and inner warmth, which I would rather call spiritual than physical. I felt the silky elasticity of her skin for which I would use the words “softness”, “evenness”, and “fluidity”.

Her face, alight with happiness, was not static and changed every moment, especially her eyes which radiated so much Love and Light, that at a certain moment I even felt uncomfortable that all the spiritual profusion was only for me. The same thing happened to her body: currents of warm emanations coming from it changed constantly, as if playing, and overlapped my entire spiritual essence and ascended together with it somewhere very high into unreachable blueness of the infinite shy, like two absolutely individual light fluxes that exist outside me and her.

The feelings of spiritual affinity, sensual unity and mental communication with the infinitely near and dear being were simply fantastic and could not be rendered in any words. Although I was forty, and she, judging by her appearance, was only 22-23, but the appearance of my astrosom looked no more than 27-28, she still took me for her own son, and I took her for my mother and by no means otherwise.

She looked really very like a fairy. Only her clothing made her very like the most beautiful earth women, though she wore nothing “special”, “fancy” or “extraordinary”. On the contrary, she was dressed in a very plain and very light, silk-like, white dress with large blue cornflowers scattered among small light-green leaves, tailored in a pre-war or post-war style: short balloon-sleeves with neat thin ruches, her slim neck was loosely enveloped by an airy “crew neck” with a slender little blue bow in front, between her collarbones, and a tight and wide, white fabric waistband tightened slightly her very slim waist.

The dress went down to the middle of her calves, on her feet she wore white transparent socks with a narrow blue stripe and a pair of light small blue slippers with thin spike heels. Later she said that usually she wears either a blue or a completely white dress and her shoes have low heel, but that day, in honor of our meeting, she chose that very dress which seemed more earth-like to her.

When I asked her where she takes her clothing from, she said that she “invented it herself”. But as a matter of fact, just like on Earth, they also have many tailors and designers who can help to invent and choose any clothing one can wish. But unlike us, people, their fashion is not for gloating over it, and everyone can use imagination to materialize absolutely everything one can wish.

Her happy eyes were the same: brown, very deep, intelligent and gazing directly into the depth of my Soul. But that time they were just full of shining, irradiating Love. I practically forgot when she used to be so joyful and beamingly alive, though she always was beautiful to me.

From the very beginning of our conversation I understood that she remembered almost all the people she used to communicate with in our Maryinka Village during her Life and she was interested in all of them: “How is aunt Zina Bugayeva? Does Nadezhda Ivanovna come to visit us (she meant our earth family house)? How is Pavel Fedotovich Grechko’s health?...”. My mother also named many of those who, after her Transition, just like her, “came back”, and whom she met “there” after their Death. Some of them I knew well, and some I did not. She talked to me in our native Donetsk dialect a half of which consists of Russian words and the other half are Ukrainian ones, as she said giving a wave of the hand: “from sheer habit”.

In reality it would be wrong to call our communication “a conversation” as we, people, usually understand it, because I knew almost all her words and Thoughts before she “vocalized” them by mouth, and her voice, transformed in accordance with the musical note of that level of the Outer Sphere of the Astral Plane, sounded more like some melodic musical sounds than just separate words and sentences. But in the whole our entire communication was perceived by each of us as an emotional and continuous “conversation” in our native semi-Ukrainian language.

In their World, all the newcomers from Earth communicate with each other and with other inhabitants of the community almost in the same way as we do it on Earth, that it AS THOUGH using the lips. But as I understood it, the mouth has nothing to do with it: just the habitual way of the newcomers to express their Thoughts with the help of sounds is subconsciously connected with the activation of imagination and generation of Thought-images and telepathems into surrounding Space.

Taking into account the extraordinary possibilities of the Astral Plane in this respect, the communication in a way as we understand it is a kind of anachronism for inhabitants of Subtle Worlds. That is why as the deceased adapt to conditions and possibilities of the Subtle World, they all begin to communicate by sending each other powerful projections of Thoughts, - it is more convenient and practical, as you do not have to see the one you want to communicate with, it is enough to send your Thought-forms to a distant person.

My mother said that a newcomer cannot understand anyone until the person he/she communicates with speaks with him/her using words. Until the newcomer learns the skill of volitional manipulation with his/her own Thoughts, he/she cannot read or perceive Thoughts of other people voluntarily.

My mother noted that she did not conceal her Thought only with me, because I did not do it either. But, in principle, it is wrong that it is impossible to hide something from others or even have personal secrets. It turned out to be possible, if you only know HOW to do it. All you have to do is to make yourself convinced of the Thought that nobody can know about your secret, or by your strong volition lock all your Thoughts, and no one except, of course, your Spiritual Teacher, would be able to read the things you would like to hide from others.

She was ineffably glad that I have such unusual, for a living human being, ability to visit subtle-material worlds, to heal mentally, and she asked to visit her and my grandmother Ulia more often. “How is grandma Ulia now? - I asked. “She is as young as I. She works in a library, studies oceanology at a university. That’s how she is!” - she said gladly, watching my face to pull and transform with surprise: say, that’s amazing!

I must say, that my grandmother Ulia had barely finished three grades of a parish school and all her Life she worked as a farm hand for a landlord and as an ordinary worker at a collective farm. It turned out that, when she died at the age of 87, her Soul regained all its knowledge which she learnt during her previous earth incarnations. That defined the direction of her further development and perfection.

The same applies to my mother: along with the knowledge and experience of her earth Life, after Death she “remembered” as well all the previous knowledge of her Soul which also became the determining incentive for choosing the area of her interests. She began to study profoundly music, sings in a chorus, and continues her studies of medicine (during Life she was a medical assistant at a state farm).

As soon as she imagined a room in which she and some other persons studied basic astral surgery, I found myself in a large and amazingly light operating room. There were not usual scalpels or any cutting and sawing instruments. Near several dazzling-white long tables there were different special lighting devices which actually were their main surgical instruments.

My mother explained with pleasure that many people come back Home from their earth Life into the Subtle World in a very hard, energy-depleted condition (as it happened to her). Such persons are sent directly to intensive light-therapy departments, where they are gradually exposed to special lightphones and phototrons, each of which restores only a particular range of the matrix spectrum of the Aura to its full saturation: ultraviolet, or lilac, or blue, or green, or yellow-golden, or pink.

Deep and long-healing physical wounds received by a person during Life, - as it was in her case, - also leave a deep scar on his/her energy capsule: in the form of various disruptions, holes, dents, common friability, and instability. Immediately after the Transition, all the damages must be transformed into a normal state, stabilized and only then restored. Medical specialists do it.

Mother explained to me that each part of the human energy body has its own level of vibrations. Lighting of a certain spectrum restores the balance of each separate energy structure destroyed during Life on Earth. The imbalance was the main reason of this or that earth illness. Light waves of a definite length restore the damaged structure’s previous or rather original level of vibrations, which results in a complete healing.

I listened to her entranced, looked at her, was genially proud of her as a son, and was sincerely glad, thanking God’s Mercy for such wise and loving arrangement of everything in the Universe. We talked for a long time about many other things related to the description of some astral Worlds in my books, but the sun remained at the same place above the hill where it was at the beginning of our meeting.

I was interested in absolutely everything of her Life “there”, to the minutest details. And she was glad to share her knowledge, although she could not explain to me how and where from things come. So, she confirmed that after Death on Earth the Soul of the deceased passes step by step through several phases of its postmortal cycle, during which it learns, evaluates and analyzes the whole experience of its Life.

In earth Life-dream there is the period of increase of forces from childhood to a completely mature age followed by the period of decrease of Energy till falling into the so-called “second childhood” and physical Death. Life-dream during the postmortal period of the Soul also has its corresponding stages until it is drawn back into the energy-information cell of Spirit for its further preparation to a new incarnation on Earth as a new personality.

The appearance of the deceased can change substantially as compared to the one on Earth, because it is influenced by the dominant of the volition-thinking principle as anything else in the Subtle World. Having appeared in the other world, the deceased may see themselves in their usual appearance; however, as we have found out, it differs very much qualitatively and externally (or internally?) from the earth one.

For example, what we understand by “the body weight” is completely absent after Death. At first glance appearance or what we understand as “a form” does not change either, but the whole body becomes much more airy, and its color is not determined by pigmentation or the presence of blood vessels, but by an inner shining of Light and the degree of purity of Thought-forms from rough astral depositions.

Some inhabitants of the Subtle World do not have typical signs of age or feebleness. They look according to the quality of their spiritual and sensual Life. “There” you have equal chances to meet a long-bearded handsome “old man” who is absolutely not burdened with his “years”, and a most wise young man who does not even think to be ashamed of his youth. As soon as one changes the way of thinking or the direction of spiritual creativeness, the “age” also changes. But again, it happens only in accordance with one’s inner desire.

Especially fast changes to the better in appearances of even very old persons happen at the very beginning after their Transition. Elderly people from Earth get younger until they come back to their blooming years. Most of the deceased reach their optimal age approximately from 18-20 to 33-35. After that their rejuvenation stops for a more or less long period which is individual for each person.

Feeble and ill persons, after Death, do not start at once to transform literally before one’s eyes. For a while they remain in a kind of depressed, half asleep state, they do not understand anything what has happened to them and they do not recognize anyone they used to know. At first perception of the surrounding reality comes back to them very slowly; the same applies to their earth memory. But as their astrosom becomes free from destructive energies, they begin to feel better and better, becoming younger and livelier.

In this respect, after Death little children adopt much easier and quicker to Life there. First they start to grow as if by leaps and bounds, then the process becomes slower or rather stabilizes. Although they mature much quicker than our children, they still do it as imperceptibly as on Earth. By the way let me tell you about children who “there” are of a special interest to an astral observer. It always pleasured me to communicate with these ingenuous and infinitely trusting Souls that simply abound with Love and distribute around them the vibration of extreme curiosity and strong desires to know everything as soon as possible, to learn everything themselves, and to get to the Truth in everything.

Incidentally, let us note that you must be fully aware of the fact that an earth path of a child absolutely does not depend on the will or desire of its parents, though, merely in outward appearance, visual circumstances may tell the contrary. WHAT the Spirit, which inspires the incarnating Soul, destined to itself at the moment of an earth incarnation, - ONLY THAT will happen irrespectively of whether the parents, who serve only as a karmic channel for their child’s Soul, want it or not. Often capricious children are given to excessively haughty parents to teach them meekness.

As compared to the elderly who, until they get younger, share a common trait of being in a state of blissful drowse, resting from earthly troubles and old age and becoming gradually younger, the deceased children, on the contrary, arrive there with a great vital reserve of unspent energy, and start immediately to explore everything around them with curiosity, experiment and learn actively. The deceased children adopt much easier to Life in the Subtle World than the deceased adults.

Some children choose among adults those whose main vibrations are most consonant with their and start to treat such people as their father or mother. Thus on the basis of mutual Love and sympathy complete families can be created. Immediately after the Soul leaves the physical body, all the deceased become free from pain and diseases, and after Death when they transit to the Subtle World they are completely free from material problems which are usual to us.

Everything is instantly constructed and formed by Thoughts vested in a volitional impulse-desire. Having separated from the physical body for ever, human beings continue their development after Death, however not in the physical direction, but in the opposite one - spiritual. As the human Soul progresses in it, it submerges into more inner and more intimate layers of its Consciousness, opening them one by one and thus knowing itself better in Divine Love and Truth.

Purely outward corporal defects, injuries and deformities disappear at once: at middle levels of the Astral Plane there are no one-eyed, humpbacked or handicapped. But mental disorders (unless they are caused purely by physiologic disfunctions of the brain or nervous system) do not disappear immediately after Death. They smooth over gradually, become weaker while a human being is under a constant medical care in special institutions.

After Death at a great age or as a result of a long and serious illness, a very weakened Soul in a semi-conscious condition rests under control of specialists from several months to one year (in earth terms). It rehabilitates, gains strength and energy at special “health centers”, where experienced healers and doctors take care of it. It is also visited by many relatives and friends, who died before the person and whose earth love to him/her did not have any mercenary aspects but had a lot of spiritual ones.

There, enjoying views of wonderful landscapes and indescribable beauty of heavenly divine Nature, people, who have transited to “the other World” at a very old age, “rest in peace from Life”. At the beginning they do nothing, but repeat sensually the best and most pleasant moments of their earth Life. Then, however, as they become gradually younger and gain strength, they start to be more active, first helping the staff to take care of the newcomers who are very weak, then when they become finally strong they quickly find their true place in any of many spiritual communities and choose an activity “after their own Soul”.

At such “health centers” they also clean gradually astral bodies from redundant rough vibrations, if they are not characteristic and prevailing for a common state of the Soul and do not carry a substantial karmic load. During this transition period the look of the Soul becomes more clarified and approaches to its optimal age. During the period of rejuvenation, the look of the Soul corresponds to the way it feels and is determined by “the condition of the Soul”: if the Soul feels itself young, then its appearance is young and beautiful too, even if during Life the person was not attractive or had evident outside defects.

Now some words about food. If immediately after Death a human being gets to a health center, where they make a substantial energy-information correction and restore completely original vibrations of his/her field capsule, then for the time the person stays in the institution he/she practically stops thinking about food from the earth point of view.

For instance, many rich people eat food not to support energy of their body, but exclusively for pleasure they get when they eat delicious meals. For many it grows into a habit, which after Death acquires a completely different power and sense. Specialists of the Astral Plane help to get rid of such “bad” habits.

Undoubtedly nutrition, as a special form of energy supply, also exists after Death, - the deceased eat and drink. Especially it refers to drinking water which is the main component of the astral body - they drink a lot of it and it is the main source and supply of energy for creative activities of inhabitants of the Astral Plane. You can get it very simply, all you have to do is to imagine a spring of life-giving water coming out of earth or a rock, and it appears at once. You can also add the taste you want.

Inhabitants of the Subtle World do exactly like that, but only at the beginning, and in all other cases they do it when it is necessary to replenish their energy. Their memory brings up automatically well-imprinted, the most pleasant minutes of eating on Earth, and it is realized that very moment. Though tastes are very different, and images of meat meals are more often replaced in memory by refined and many times more intense taste of fruits, vegetables, milk, bread, juices and so on.

Gradually even such attachment to exquisite taste disappears and a newly deceased person switches his/her attention completely to a free consumption of pure energy of Love from the very Substance of surrounding Space. You simply begin to feel “physically” the presence of this all-embracing Love which never depletes but becomes stronger and stronger as you assimilate these high vibrations. At first the Soul is like a very dry sponge and only absorbs with thirst Divine Love and Mercy, dissolving and blissfully happy in them.

Then a moment comes when you are so overwhelmed with this unspeakable feeling, this heavenly sensation of unity with EVERYTHING, that it is simply vitally important for you to express and pour more and more the same Love on someone, sympathize with somebody, help, make someone’s existence easier… This is the very time when the Soul decides the direction of its further development: either it chooses to reincarnate on Earth, or dedicates itself completely to its spiritual development.

Mother said that almost all people (in the community she lives in) have dedicated themselves to the benefit of others. No matter what they do: be it music, all other kinds of art, architecture, medicine, science and so on, - first of all they think how can their creative activity bring good and joy not only to the members of their astral community which sometimes has millions of people, but also to those who have not yet got high enough in their self-consciousness to live for the sake of others.

She told that they have various very active “public charity organizations”, like “the Red Cross” on Earth, but they usually call them “Leagues”. There are Leagues that help children, Leagues of intellectual assistance to former scientists, many different religious Leagues, Leagues of interests: of artists, musicians, actors, sculptors and architects…

There are very many of such Leagues in various spheres of spiritual activity. The principle of their activity reminds the work of the Salvation Army, but only at a higher spiritual and intellectual level. They provide different spiritual assistance to those of the deceased who have recently transited to the beyond and for a long time cannot resign their minds to the Thought of their Death on Earth, to their losses related to it, to those who cannot understand the Laws that rule their world and so on. Spiritual Beings who constitute such Leagues do a lot of good to all by helping the unlucky deceased to adapt to new conditions of their existence.

Mother told me about many things of their Life. I included everything into by next books which describe Existence at different levels of the Outer and Inner Spheres of the Astral Plane. Personally for me it was a wonderful and a very illustrative example of the postmortal transformation of a rough-material form into a subtle-material one: after a serious and very long illness, Death turned miraculously the old and ill woman, who, because of her physical pains, had lost all interest in earth Life with all its inaccessible pleasures, - into a joyful, very beautiful and infinitely happy young girl, who devoted herself to her favorite activity and felt herself very needful and useful in their World.

She said that along with her, - she pointed her hand in the direction of the forest: “over there, sonny, literally nearby”, - in a small and very neat “Kuban” town, also live some of her former fellow-soldiers, participants of a song-and-dance ensemble which visited fronts during the Great Patriotic War and performed for soldiers. Many of them perished (“came back”) long ago, during World War Two, others rejoined the ensemble after their Death many years later.

We parted easily, with joy and a great satisfaction at our Hearts, with a firm belief that we will meet again soon. Then, in February 1995, I did not know yet about the coming Transfiguration of Earth and humanity, but my mother told me that SOMETHING is coming and that very soon IT would unite all separate subtle-material Worlds of Earth into one beautiful World, and that would allow all high spiritual Consciousnesses of human beings to develop together, - both the living and those who had died long ago. Now, after three years since then, I already know how right she was and I am looking forward to the Great Moment of spiritual realization of the Higher Collective Consciousness of humanity on the transfigured Earth.

But at that time, after a warm parting with habitual earth hugs and cheek kissing, I stood on the sunlit meadow and she went on a narrow path with her slinky gait, hovering over the grass, at the end of the path she turned around again, waved a farewell to me and disappeared among big trees of the forest rampant along a high bank of the river. “The Kuban…” - I thought automatically and remembered how many times in my childhood I tried to swim across this rapid river, how I used to fish with my grandfather, how I almost drowned…

Yes, about four or five months later I indeed met my mother again, but to my amazement she looked even younger than during our first meeting. I understood the reason of such rejuvenation only when she said that she met again her “first love” - Viktor Bestsenny, a Hero of the Soviet Union, who perished in the war. She was so happy that they were together again, that their feelings towards each other are as pure and beautiful as they were in those years when they were 18-19. After his Transition, Viktor proved to be a wonderful artist, singer and actor, graduated from a conservatory, and composes music.

“And where do you live?” - I asked. “What do you mean where? At our place”, - mother said simply and began to describe vividly their beautiful house constructed for them by a talented architect on a picturesque bank of the Kuban River. “Can I see how you live?” - I wondered. “You know, Sergey, - all of a sudden she became sad, - I forgot to tell you, that from there, from your place (she meant our earth Life), nobody is allowed to visit our place. How you can do it, I simply don’t understand…”

In fact, I knew myself about it, because once, during my first astral explorations, my Instructor gave me a strict warning on any account not to get my “strong Consciousness” actively involved in Life and activities of individual habitants of the Subtle World, except the rare cases when it was done in his presence for a particular purpose related to the need to give a common description of this or that World (you will meet such descriptions many times in my other books).

Love “beyond the veil”

When my first books were published, I began to receive a great many of letters with the request to give a more detailed answer to the question whether Death separates those who loved very much one another on Earth. That is why I use the good opportunity to dwell again on some specific features of relations between people who were nearly related on Earth, in particular, about earth husband and wife.

I must say right away that there are very many different variants of further, postmortal development of relations between people which are determined by very many factors of karmic, spiritual, evolutional and other nature hidden from people themselves. For example, if two persons, who love one another very much, had during their Life on Earth different levels of spiritual development, then after Death, due to a substantial disparity in vibrations of their field capsules, they cannot in any way be in the same community of Spirits, because it would contradict the Law of attraction of similar vibrations.

But as the spiritual aspect of their relations is preserved after the Transition and does not disappear anywhere, the one of them who has a higher developed Consciousness may help the other one in his/her spiritual ascension until they become reunited in Love at the same level. Love, boundless Love is eternal, because God Himself is Love.

I must say that the number of couples that managed to keep fidelity and spiritual devotion to each other even after Death unfortunately is less than those who have sworn to “love eternally till Death separates them”. When the rough astral husk of an earth incarnation is cast off of the disembodied Soul, there is little left what during Life used to be considered or taken by both persons as love, but proved not to be really valuable, true or spiritual. It is because many relations on Earth has only a karmic background.

When a person leaves Earth with one great love, and when the other one who remains on Earth does not forget the passed away, then the psychic, spiritual connection between them may remain without weakening for quite a long time.

This connection allows the Soul of the deceased person to replenish its strength and Energy, which are basic elements of Life THERE as well, by means of feelings and positive emotions of his/her love left on Earth. In such cases the Soul of the deceased person, inspired by love and anticipation of the Transition of its source of love into the Subtle World (after Death on the Physical Plane), can make quite a strong positive psychic effect on the living partner, and sort of improving his/her qualities and guarding against hasty and thoughtless actions.

In the Subtle World, earth love becomes gradually purified from mercenary motives and selfishness, from exaggerations and reticence, because all Souls of one communion are much more open to each other than on Earth. Relations between relatives also remain, although, just like here, children and their parents may live in different cities and even in different communities. But this does not prevent them from seeing each other and celebrate together family anniversaries and holidays, the number of which there is incomparably higher than here. All the deceased who valued friendship during their Life continue to have warm feelings to their living friends and are very happy when their friends remember them.

Warm friendly relations, sincere sympathy and affection may also appear between Souls that were unacquainted with each other on Earth. The same applies to love: those, who missed their chance to experience this feeling during their Life, may find their love, pure and wonderful, after their Death. Believe me, marriages there are much more joyful and numerous than here. Love of two human beings is a source of sincere joy for a great many of Souls, and almost all members of a community participate in the preparation of celebrations. But there, the main strengthening factor is not a sexual desire, but an inexpugnable desire for spiritual union with a spiritually connected Soul.

If Married couples, who loved truly each other on Earth, get to the same subplane in the Subtle World, they reunite at once even after many years (provided that the Soul of the person who was first to die persists in waiting for its beloved). Husband and wife, who did not love one another during Life, who lived together due to various karmic reasons, may not reunite in their new Life. However, it often happens that when a deceased person gets purified from his/her imperfections, he/she begins to perceive his/her spouse completely in a different way, and the memory cleaned from little grudges and bad recollections about the years lived together cherishes a hope for a coming meeting and future Life together.

But there are people, - their number is small and they live in separate spiritual communities that are far from perfection, - who after Death continue to be jealous of all contacts of their spouses left on Earth. And this prevents their Souls from getting to higher subplanes, where such weaknesses are absent. As “time passes” and as their astral bodies become gradually purified, jealousy usually ceases or just is deleted from the memory of the Soul.

Usually one of the lovers, after getting over the first impressions, and having accustomed and adopted to the surrounding World, - in parallel to his/her individually chosen socially-useful activity according to his/her abilities, - begins to prepare living conditions (a house, furniture and so on) for a future Life together with his/her beloved after a short forced separation.

We say “a short” because so-called “celestials” practically do not notice how Time passes. That is why there any separation is not so painful as here, on Earth, especially if we take into account the fact that they almost do not have any “free Time”, as all of them “dive into” those kinds and activity which constituted the meaning of their earth existence, or which they wanted very much to do on Earth, but did not have the possibility during Life.

Matter of the Astral Plane has almost unlimited potentials for all kinds of Creativeness and Imagination, undreamt-of on Earth, and it involves each Soul into unlimited ample scopes for its self-discovery and self-expression in any branch of Knowledge it is interested in and in any area of creative Existence.

As we have noted, not always the beloved can reunite and live together after a long-awaited meeting. If between them there is a great difference in their spiritual levels, after Death they will have to live separately in different communities and even in different Worlds. Their reunion will not happen until the one, who is behind in his/her spiritual development, catches up due to a diligent work on his/her self-perfection.

Additionally, communities of the Subtle World are formed in a way that not only spiritual qualities, but also religiousness of people is taken into account to determine their place and position in the beginning of their new Life. For example, after Death ardent Buddhists and keen Christians cannot live together as they belong to different Egregors.

Love towards those who are left on Earth hampers the entering of the Soul into a new Life. In this respect we would like to pay your attention to the fact that although the Astral Plane is called “the World of desires”, nonetheless it does not always and not to the full extent corresponds to desires of each passed-away Soul. This becomes a source of grief and disappointments, - especially at middle and lower levels, - for many Souls whose desires do not correspond in whole to the integral of desires of their entire community, which are usually quite homogeneous in terms of the set and quality of vibrations. That is why even in Heaven you can see some contradictions, which however are solved very quickly by the administration of a community which transfers the dissonant Souls to the level that corresponds to them better.

Immediately after the Transition, each deceased person has a wonderful opportunity to make a proper evaluation of the true meaning of each his/her earth meeting; and if the person finds out that during Life he/she did not notice one of the meetings which had a special meaning that would had influenced his/her destiny, after Death the meeting can be repeated again personally for the person in accordance with his/her desire in all its nuances and details.

Love of the deceased towards those who remained on Earth is absolutely free from jealousy and sanctimony, because they realize clearly their entire Existence in Universal Love of God, and they know that each of them is an integral part of this Universal Love which is free from any spiritual infringement, selfish division and limited human profanation. If during Life two people loved each other very much and whole-heartedly, then, after Death of one of them, in case the other spouse left on Earth is drawn to marry another person, they will not lose each other, because “there” it is not a physical fact that is important, but a high degree of realization, spiritual purity and sincerity of feelings.

All reunions after Death happen not because of somebody’s special permission or authorization, but only depend on the degree of mutual desire for such reunion on the part of two spiritual beings. Nothing else can prevent them from doing it, because only your personal desire or unwillingness, your own feeling of sympathy or antipathy to something or someone will become after Death the main source and reason of everything you will find or, on the contrary, will not wish to find in your postmortal existence.

Spiritual Families

All human beings who died on Earth, having passed the process of Remembering their latest experiences of past Lives of their Soul, gain ALL the SPIRITUAL knowledge learnt by it and, depending on their orientation and tendency, get involved into an active creative process at such spiritual level to which they have managed to ascend due to the experience of the last incarnation of the Soul. After the Transition each of them will awake at the place where his/her true destination must be determined.

After a complete opening of Consciousness, the Subtle World will give each deceased a kind reception in the form of spiritual Entities who have accompanied him/her all his/her earth Life. After that, each will make a free choice, according to the principles and Sympathy and Antipathy, and will join numerous and diverse groups and communities that seek after a common direction in their further development.

Each such group may with certainty be called one big spiritual Family. All the members of such solidary Family have in their energy bodies the type of vibrations which is very close to a common range and has been worked out for many individual Lives. There are no social differences there, - everybody obeys the Law and each Consciousness capable to cause a strong dissonance in the common Harmony is transferred in good time into another Family where such type of vibrations is determining. Many of the deceased, who have achieved higher overtones of sounding due to their diligent striving, get access to the Path to the inner Circle of Existence which leads to eternal Divine Light.

This is a purely spiritual level of Consciousness which allows helping Consciousnesses of all other levels of the Subtle World, guiding and awaking those who have an ardent wish to be reborn in Spirit and go further only on purely spiritual path, wakening their strive for perfection and showing them the possibility of paths that lead to a complete accomplishment. This level does not imply omniscience, but these spiritual Entities have a direct access to the entire Galactic Wisdom and they make the best use of it for the sake of Light.

For an earth human being dominated by a dualistic pattern of thoughts and earthly stereotypes it is almost impossible to understand particularities of their Existence. If I say that in the other World there is everything you can ever wish, I would say nothing by that, because our most cherished desires are too barren and colorless as compared with practically unlimited possibilities given to all spiritual Entities in Higher Worlds.

Billions of such Entities, who have transited after Death into the Subtle World, for hundreds of thousands of years of the human history, have created billions of variations of the spiritual Reality based on definite ideas and a variety of earth Life experiences. “There”, human Consciousness continues to undergo drastic changes to a much greater extent as compared with the changes it experienced during its Life on Earth.

“There”, there are both unlimited possibilities for a very quick rise and subjective reasons of a very rapid fall. It is enough to think of something and apply the slightest volitional impulse to this Thought-form, and what you thought of turns immediately into a finely sensed and extremely vividly experienced reality. The principle: “you are what you think of” is implemented there as nowhere else. Let us add to this: also your environment is what you think of.

It is enough for an inhabitant of the Subtle World to think about something, say, about flowers, or just remember a wonderful fragrance of a rose and apply to it a volitional impulse of the desire to experience it, and at once he/she will find himself/herself in a magnificent garden filled with effulgent light, all sorts of beautiful flowers, fragrant roses and joyful chants of birds.

Inhabitants of the Subtle World have wonderful recreation centers, boarding houses and sanatoriums located mainly near large medical research centers. They have splendid houses, not-made-by-hands palaces of simply indescribable, fabulous beauty. They have various scientific and educational institutions, universities and laboratories, most numerous libraries containing practically all knowledge. They have environment friendly production enterprises, most powerful plants of energy purification. They have most clean spring water, “live” crystals, numerous minerals, a variety of plants, peaceful and tender animals, joyful and chirrupy birds. Their blue and boundless sky has a bright and not at all burning sun, floating white clouds, and warm rains fall whenever they wish. They have full-flowing rivers, seas with playful waves, multiple bays and quiet harbors along the shores. There are majestic mountains shining with snow-white peaks, boundless voiceful forests, green valleys that beckon to their meadows, neat and well-conditioned fields of golden wheat and so on and so forth.

Yet, depending on the level of vibrations of Matter that constitute this or that World, this whole virtually infinite list of objects of the subtle-material Existence has some differences, which are quite substantial sometimes, related to the perfection and variety of forms, methods and quality of the use of these objects, etc.

“There”, the level of Consciousness of the deceased determines absolutely and completely their Existence. If a human being all through his/her Life has dreamed of living with a loving family in a cozy little house somewhere in the South on the beach of a warm sea, after his/her postmortal awakening, it will be enough just to remember this dream and it will become real at once.

But having their dream finally fulfilled, human beings will not be able to become immediately free from all other their desires. Of course, they will become tired of doing nothing and when they feel themselves filled with strength, they will wish to be occupied with their favorite activity: work as a carpenter, build houses, make some products, look after plants, compose music, paint, write poems, study sciences and so on. Whenever human beings want anything, they are immediately given the possibility to have it, in accordance with their ideas about the desired object.

Those, who after the Transition, for instance, want to have “a medieval castle” and live in a large manor, will have this dream fulfilled instantly. But they will have to take care of everything and keep the house for themselves, as there will be no one “to serve” them. Yet they will not need any servants, because their Thoughts and desires will do any work quicker and better than any servant. All Consciousnesses that correspond to such low level are gathered AS IF in one place and have the possibility to communicate with each other, gossip about news while having a mug of beer, look after trees and flowers in parks, hike in the mountains, swim in a river or a lake, breed hounds, pedigreed horses and so on.

To other deceased such way of Life may seem too monotonous, useless and dull. That is why they might want to live in a big city, work at a big production enterprise and be useful to other people who are like them - conscientious workers. And they get the possibility to fulfill their dream at once. They have what they desire. But as Consciousness grows, the quality of desires change greatly. They lose more and more the aspect of selfishness, earthliness, and acquire more and more distinct features of altruism and the Soul’s aspiration for a more spiritual union with other members of the Family.

The main material foundation for fulfillment of all desires after Death is vibrations of Love, beginning from the lowest ones, more earthly, to the highest ones, spiritual. This means that after the Transition only those desires that are based on love to somebody or something have the right to be fulfilled.

That is why the desires associated with accumulation of material wealth, destruction of other beings or enslaving them are not appropriate to the Subtle World. It is the prerogative of spiritually degraded inhabitants of Hell about which we are going to tell in our next book.

I would like to give greater clarity with respect to their dwellings. If I say that they live in the same closed rooms or buildings we are used to, it will not be an absolute truth for higher levels of Existence, because they do not have our habitual division of everything into “mine” and “yours”, and what is “inside” a building may vary little from what is appearingly “outside”. Their houses do not play a protective or Space limiting role as they do for human beings on Earth.

It is rather a matter of an earth habit than a desire to seclude yourself from other inhabitants of the community, because when you feel yourself as one whole with the rest members of your spiritual Family there is not a slightest desire to become isolated, retire, get away or keep away from others. When you feel pleasure you want very much that all others feel the same.

“There”, you do not simply feel, but the very core of your being has the sensation of unconditional Joy and infinite, unfailing Love inside which come to you and from you literarily from and to everywhere, radiating simultaneously from all and each member of the community where you dwell so naturally and in harmony. Life “there” overwhelms each Soul with the all-absorbing feeling of altruism and the desire to do good to everyone as much as possible, shine for all as brightly, strongly and fully as possible. When you do it for others, you also do it automatically for yourself.

Although their constantly changing Life is full of various beautiful things and objects that at first bring unspeakable delight and joy, it is also accompanied by wonderful foretypes or prototypes which can with full confidence be considered ideal samples of divine architecture and in which the harmonious refinement of the form corresponds fully to its contents.

The Description of “a City of Light”

Most dwellings and other architectural buildings of so-called “cities of Light”, located at much higher vibration levels than the so-called “World of duplicates”, in their form resemble the best examples of our cathedrals and temples with golden dome-shaped roofs, but are unimaginably better in their beauty and grandeur. At the top of many domes there were Orthodox crosses shining in the sun.

Among relatively small temples with domes stood out sharp crystal spires of giant and majestic structures that outwardly resembled the famous cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, but it was about five or ten times bigger. The walls of the buildings with numerous decorations and ornaments, that depict in full detail Life of Angels and Archangels, are made of solid plates of rock crystal that seem absolutely airy and weightless irrespective of their whole thickness and massiveness. The walls were connected with each other by shining crystal portals of fantastical shapes with spheres sparkling in the sun and heaven-high spires.

All that structures were not united by a single earth religion, they as if personified the Glory and Omnipotence of God. As I later found out, some of such cathedrals place numerous Libraries of Knowledge, shining with all the colors of the rainbow, grand and solemn Temples of Initiation, huge Temples of Science, and multiple and richest Palaces of Arts: painting, music, acting, ballet, folk dance, folk song, etc.

The walls of other cathedrals are also made of some transparent and in some places of semi-transparent crystal material, through which a golden Light is seen from inside. Standing near such masterpieces of architecture I was overwhelmed with reverence and started unintentionally to feel myself microscopically small and insignificant in comparison with the rest of God’s Creation.

In the distance, behind an emerald forestland of wonderful trees, raised gentle slopes of mountains of the color of dark-blue/blue velvet. Inside the city there were many green lawns filled with ever-flowering flowers watered abundantly by pulsing fountains and constantly moving water jets of various height, color and thickness that produced fantastic and peculiar combinations of melodies. I met whole fireworks of color-and-sound fountains, playing, shining and iridescent with thousands of rainbows in the sun.

I cannot definitely call the streets “streets” in our, earthly notion, because their width and space are much greater than dimensions of main squares of our big cities. Walls, fronts and decorations of some buildings are made of materials that resemble unusually big pearls, rubies, amethysts and emeralds. Pink paths twisting between green fruit trees and flower meadows were paved with flat and huge plates of polished yellow or brown amber.

There were not very many people in the streets, and, what especially surprised me, among the multitude of beautiful young men and wonderful young women there was not a person who would be redundant there, - rambling or pining away with boredom. I did not meet any means of transportation, and they evidently did not need any, because they could fly over the air to any place they want.

Many men wore simple snow-white clothing of the most common style: trousers, a shirt, and some light shoes. Some wore white soutanes and small white caps, and some preferred pastel shades in their clothing and their somewhat intricate style differed from the elegancy of all the others.

As for women or girls, - because it was simply impossible to define their age, - all of them were amazingly young, slender and really marvelously beautiful. They had all sorts of clothing from wide and chic medieval dresses with wonderful bows and garters to common modern mini-bikinis or just a simple silk sun-dress down to the very heels.

They all reminded me of good witches or fairies from wonderful children fairy tales. Around each person there was a golden Aura sparkling with silver inner Light. The shining of some individual inhabitants was much brighter than that of others, and it attracted immediately my attention to them. I noticed that usually such persons always wore long snow-white clothes of a wide style that flowed to the very ground. Near each of them there were constantly some more people who listened meekly to them. Most likely, they were Teachers and their disciples.

Each person went somewhere without haste, some were going out of the Temples, some were entering inside, some flew easily in the air at different heights - singly or in pairs; and other people just sat in small groups - men and women - in the middle of a lawn or loquacious little streams, or near fountains and conversed about something. Joy, happiness and realizations of their belonging to Love and Grace always were expressed on the face of each inhabitant, but that state could not be compared with anything known on Earth.

It is a pity that I could not talk to anyone of them, because as soon as I addressed to someone with a question, he or she disappeared as if dissolved in the shining Space of Light. Probably it was because I, the living person (yet), was not allowed to contact directly with inhabitants of the Subtle World, independently without my Instructor. I wanted to explore Subtle Worlds on my own, not being accompanied by someone. That is why I had to be satisfied only with superficial and common observations.

What do the deceased do?

You should keep in mind that after Death each Soul, finally got rid of its dense capsule, has a very limited supply of life force as compared with the supplies provided by the physical body. The energy deficit is felt by the deceased literally in everything immediately after the Transition.

After Death very many of the deceased spend thoughtlessly their strictly limited supply of astral energy to realize most rough instincts and low-quality feelings, directing all their Thoughts and desires not to spiritual and light spheres of the new World, but to the vast areas of the so-called “Sphere of hungry spirits”. There, they lose very quickly their energy and become astrally depleted, thoughtlessly consumed with all sorts of rough astral Thought-forms and instincts, thus driving themselves very rapidly to the so-called “second Death” - the astral one.

The heavy deficit of life force also determines the difference between a quick and relatively easy way for a person to acquire all kinds of new knowledge and skills during Life on Earth and a very poor ability to learn anything new after Death, in what the person did not have a practical experience during Life or with what he/she did not deal closely. When you die, you will not be able to master completely new areas of Knowledge as successfully and quickly as now, but you will begin to develop and enrich your personal experience gained during your earth Life and your “heritage” from previous reincarnations of your Spirit.

Each new spiritual creativeness by thoughts requires a powerful supply of life force in contrast to remembrances of the Soul which can be initiated and remain in memory practically without spending any energy. The deceased will need the energy only when they need to apply a long-lasting volitional impulse for astral materialization their remembrances.

The creation and realization of a NEW, completely formed Thought-form or Astral idea is a very complex and hard act, especially for those who, during their earth Life, failed to adapt for and become accustomed to intellectual or spiritual creativity. Such deceased are destined to continue maintaining, in external areas of the Outer Sphere of the Astral Plane, primitive images, notions and ideas which they used to have on Earth, waiting with horror for their own astral Death.

Personally, I felt disappointment and perplexity many times when during my out-of-body visits to some of such primitive astral communities I tried to teach some of their individual members to perform more or less simple thinking skills that could make their existence better.

All my numerous attempts to improve spiritually or open Consciousnesses of the deceased always remain futile, because the inhabitants of such astral areas simply do not want to understand anything, to change anything and to do anything either for their own spiritual development or for improvement of their primitive living conditions which suit completely each member of such community. What seems stupid or just irrational for me is absolutely normal for them only because “all their ancestors used to live in the same way”.

Many times, when I was back in my physical body, I found on it clear signs of aggressive impacts of my excessively biased, astral “opponents”: red astral burns, cuts, superficial wounds, bruises and sores. It means that during such “enlightening missions” they simply tried to burn me to death, or shoot with a poisoned arrow, or kill with a club, or smother to stop me from further disturbing their sleeping and primitive Consciousnesses by useless high spiritual Ideas and my “diabolical” improvement suggestions.

All the members of each such low-spiritual community abide strictly by moral, ethical, religious and many other restrictions and conditions imposed on them by the Egregor overseeing this particular astral community. Any faint effort to do any slightest spiritual improvement or another radical change inside such community would be fraught with the danger of going outside the vibrations of this energy-information structure, and thus losing the energy support from the Egregor.

Practically all people, who during Life got energy supply from this or that Egregor, after Death go to the same Egregor, which is divided “in territory” and in space into many spiritual communities with very similar living conditions, foundations, traditions, moral principles and religious commitment.

Due to a heavy deficit of energy all the deceased strive for a very close “fusion” with everything they used to believe during Life, with objects they used to seek for or which caused negative feelings in them, because all religious, moral and ethical Ideas are closely attached, through corresponding Egregors, to astrosoms of the living who constantly feed them with their psychic energy.

Having tightly “attached” or identified itself most closely with this or that Idea or mental Prototype, spiritual communities take energy from them for their own existence, and it determines not only the quality of thought creativeness of their members, but also the level of their creative activity. That is why there is nothing there what could be simply separate, what could exist by itself, in isolation from everything the rest.

Everyone and everything must be attached to global subtle-material structures, such as Egregors, which are the most powerful accumulators and transformers of psychic energy of various ranges of vibrations. There, dwellings are practically immaterial, as there is absolutely no disharmony between the environment and inhabitants of each spiritual Family, and there is not any feeling of disharmony within one spiritual community.

And they have no time “to sit about” and gossip as it is common on Earth, because each Soul is attracted by a great many of opportunities to realize its spiritual potential. But one thing that really amazed even my rich imagination, seasoned during astral explorations, especially when my Consciousness visited higher levels of Existence, is what we usually define as “Nature”.

There, the constantly changing Harmony of colors and gradations of Light combined with plays of most delicate and pleasant sounds places the disembodied Soul into an exciting flow of permanent Music of the Spheres. And when your Consciousness is in complete tune with the music, it wants to stay there forever.

Many of those who dedicated their earth Life exclusively to studying only its material aspects, after Death have to learn again completely reorienting their Consciousness to studying spiritual aspects of Existence, as the experience and knowledge of the material World and its laws provide little help for the deceased in their postmortal existence. Those that have ears to hear, let them hear this Truth and not spend so much of their efforts and means for studying the things that are useless for everyone after Death.

Thus, artists learn new ways of creation, thoroughly “drawing” their works in imagination and then “animating” them in the surrounding space with the help of their volitional impulse. In this way they get completely “alive” and real drawings that represent a perfect and absolute realization of Thought-forms of the artist.

Somewhat different is the case with those who dedicated their earth Life to the art of photography: after Death they will not need any cameras, because they simply will have to contemplate the objects they would like to capture until they remember all the play of colors and the range of hues and until the whole picture thus becomes their integral part.

After that they can place their work to any place they want so that others also could enjoy the beauty and harmony they created. As members of the same community create and think in harmony with each other, all the numerous spiritual levels of the Subtle World simply cannot contain creations that would cause admiration and delight with some inhabitants of a particular sphere and irritation or condemnation with the others. What can please one of them is definitely liked to the others.

After the Transition, talented musicians gain even more abilities and possibilities to influence with their works both on the living on Earth and the so called “dead” who dwell in the same range of vibrations with them or by one overtone lower than they, as their music is those waves and vibrations which they tune in to us, people, and bring in accord with us.

The higher is the level of postmortal existence of authors, the greater is the degree with which they can exert a positive influence on our spiritual development with their creations implanted by them in the minds of living composers. All the musicians who choose to develop their musical skills after Life on Earth are organized into many specialized groups of Consciousnesses that seek music as the highest pitch of excellence.

Sounds are the construction material of the Soul. That is why the kind of music liked by a person speaks a lot about the person’s spiritual level. Many times during my astral explorations I met and communicated with those who during their Lives studied seriously applied sciences: medicine, physics, astronomy, chemistry, etc., - and gained very great achievements in their field.

And what do you think? After Death, after a certain retraining and reorientation of their Consciousness to the specifity of the Laws of the Subtle World, they still continue to study the science they like, performing new tasks in numerous research groups which unite scientists of different fields.

It is because after the Transition the determining impulse is the stable tendency of Consciousness to continue its further self-perfection and development, and each disembodied person has the possibility to apply to absolutely all knowledge accumulated at a given level of the Subtle World.

I happened to communicate with a physicist who died not long ago, he and his colleagues search the methods of purification of contaminated astral Matter. He said that even great scientists “there” do not have all the Highest Wisdom and have to explore for themselves spending much energy on studies, researches and tests. The Higher Knowledge is accessible only by Great Teachers who constitute the so-called “Council of the Twelve”.

Those deceased who used to be “doctors by avocation”, continue “there” to study medicine in astral research institutes that unite professionals of great intellect from all humanity. But “there” the term “medicine” has a completely different meaning than here on Earth.

Take for instance such important direction of cosmic medical science as astral surgery: “there”, nothing, not a single organ of the subtle body, is amputated, and spiritual bodies damaged during Life on Earth are being restored, cured and purified to make it possible for the Soul to continue after the Physical Death its path of Cognition and go further in its individual spiritual development.

Once I communicated for a long time with a former infant phenomenon who died when he was a teenager and now, after Death, - he is a young history scientist who continues to study successfully and fruitfully in numerous mental libraries all sorts of interrelations of Existence which interlace closely the whole history of all levels of Divine Existence on Earth.

He is infinitely happy that he finally has the opportunity to perform his favorite work with total efficiency and fruitfulness impossible on Earth. He also said that it is a real happiness to know and create here (for us it is “there”) and at the same time be in a large and well-consolidated team of like-minded persons who fully understand and support you in your creativeness.

In the Subtle World you can often meet people who with an inexpressible enthusiasm and joy look after plants in numerous amazingly beautiful parks or who cultivate flowers of heavenly beauty beyond description in unearthly gardens. One can both admire the flowers and have a fruitful communication with them. After Death every person has practically unlimited possibilities to start anew or continue the studies that were omitted by him/her during Life.

But the most important quality that fills up the Existence of the deceased is Love, - incognizable, infinite and all-embracing. After Death each person first of all will have to know the only Truth that he/she is a part of limitless Love, that he/she is a part of the Divine Universe, that he/she is a part of God. Each human being comes from the Source and after Death each one comes back to the Source and enters into His Love which each human being has never left but simply could not perceive in the voluntary captivity of Matter.

Many of the living are afraid that after Death they will become “impersonal” or lose their individuality, will not be able to perform their favorite activity and so on. We can with all responsibility assure such people that INDIVIDUALITY, as a summarized inner experience of all Lives of a human being on all planets where he/she lived, ALWAYS REMAIN irrespective of the nature of Death, circumstances or age at which the Transition happens.

After Death one can occupy oneself with a favorite activity as much as one can wish, like nothing else. And all the conditions to do that will be truly paradise-like. The higher is the internal level achieved by a human being after Death, the stronger he/she is inspired by the only desire - to merge as fully as possible with the Truth, with Divine Love which is all-encompassing in the whole Creation.

“There” they do not have such purely human notions as “leaving something until tomorrow” or “doing something later”: everything that is to be done, WILL BE DONE WITHOUT FAIL, not because some people make other people do it, but because there are always those who want to do exactly this work, as they sincerely believe that it needs to be done and that their participation in this matter is useful.

Anything each Soul does “there” is a part of what we can call “inexpressible happiness”, “absolute bliss”, etc. None of creative activities is accompanied by constraint: everything that serves a spiritual development is recognized and accepted by each Soul based on its own Knowledge that it is THE THING it needs most for its further development. Free will is an integral part of Life of the deceased and each one of them follow one’s own path that leads to perfection.

Perfection consists of an innumerous quantity of “small perfections” that must be achieved in order to know the Whole. After the Transition, some people decide, for instance, to develop singing and drawing, other people study sciences, still other ones improve dances, rhythms and plastique, etc. This allows each Soul to find its self-expression and not to become lost among the multitude of the rest members of a large spiritual Family, but, on the contrary, express as much as possible its individuality in common vibrations of Love and Happiness.

Many of the passed-away, who during their Life did not accept the possibility to exist after Death, after a preliminary training and as a part of a spiritual practice before their transition to a higher level of Knowledge, choose voluntarily to prepare the newly passed-away to their conscious Existence and help those who, like them once, do not want to accept their own mistakes and delusions after the Transition.

After a preliminary training and preparation they can exert a positive spiritual influence on the newly arrived deceased who are unaware of their postmortal existence. Many of such deceased, after their Transition, wander about the most remote areas of the Astral Plane in confusion and bewilderment and fail to find the right place to put their Souls at rest and literally lose their head because of the Thoughts about the fact that they are already “dead”.

Millions and millions of the passed-away, due to their ignorance of the possibility of their active postmortal existence, absolutely do not recognize themselves after awakening, cannot understand where they are and cannot see a path which they must follow independently to get to Light. And these paths are sometimes very tiresome and full of hardships. Hosts of spiritual Entities of Light provide them first spiritual aid; they are always ready to give such a Soul a needful piece of advice and help it to make a right decision in this or that situation.

Awakening

So, let us stop here and make an intermediate summary. We have found out that the so-called “fist Death” of the human Soul is the removal of Life Force from the dense physical body with its further “decay” and “dissipation” into constituent physical elements. The personality, as it is, fades away and becomes no longer visible by the physical vision, although it still remain in its etheric body.

Let us remind you of this: the very first phase of the Soul’s separation from its densest, rough-material capsule, which is usually perceived by Consciousness of the deceased as a swift motion through a certain dark tunnel or through twilight and darkness, or through a dark screen, or simply as a passage in a resisting medium.

The next phase of dying is the removal of Life Force or the energy spiral from the etheric body and its devitalization. The etheric spiral is just “an extension” of one of the aspects of the so-called “thread of SUTRATMA” which is weaved by the Higher “Self” from Matter of the causal body. It can be shortened, extended or taken away from this or that part of the field capsule at will of the Higher “Self” or as a result of some special circumstances that make impossible the further stay of the Soul at a particular energy-information level of Existence. During this phase of dying of a physical human being, there is a Birth and a Beginning of the Soul’s Life in the Subtle World - on the Astral Plane.

The second “Death” of the Soul is a gradual (it sometimes lasts many earth decades) removal of Life Force from the roughest external layers of the astral body. During this phase of postmortal Existence of Consciousness, there is a Birth and a Beginning of the Soul’s Life at one of the seven divisions of the Area of Concrete Thoughts of the Outer Sphere on the Mental Plane with a further gradual transition to the levels of the Area of Abstract Thoughts that correspond to the Soul’s development degree.

They are the very Higher Spheres that cannot be described in any way, but their very poor and limited description is given by many religions as “Paradise Gardens” and “The Abode of Gods”. The stay of the Soul there depends completely on how its earth Life was consistent with the ethical Law clearly and briefly stated in the Ten Commandments of Christ.

The third “Death” of the Soul is the liberation of the Soul from its rough-mental body and the intake of its four Constant Atoms into the Inner Sphere where an energy-information cell of Spirit is located. After that all Life Forces of the once incarnated Soul are centered exclusively in the Sphere of Spirit, but a one-side contact with the three lower Planes is still possible my means of the Constant Atoms and force centers of the three personal aspects. During this phase, there is a Birth (of those human beings who have a substantially developed causal body) and stay on the Causal Plane which is the Highest Plane for the Soul.

The fourth “Death” of the Soul happens if it decides to take a new incarnation. It is a plunging into an unconscious state which precedes a new birth on the Physical Plane.

During each next incarnation on Earth, Life Forces use corresponding bodies to get the following:

a) An additional activity of the Physical Constant Atom;

b) An additional activity of the Astral Constant Atom;

c) A developed quality of Force or purpose in action integrated into the Mental Constant Atom of the Soul. All of it is integrated and processed at different stages of the so-called “Paradise” (according to Eastern traditions it is called “Devachan”).

So, we can summarize: just as in this earth Life, after Death the Soul is destined to the following (in general terms and schematically):

- a complete and partial (temporary) unconsciousness;

- the first throb of psychic Life, acquisition of Consciousness;

- releasing from karmic binds contained in memory;

- achieving maturity, vigorous activity in a World that corresponds to the basic vibrations that constitute the astral body of the Soul of the deceased;

- a gradual purification from rough Energies and depletion of forces that transforms into a semiconscious state;

- a gradual transition to the total oblivion, lethargy;

- a temporary complete unconsciousness;

- the first throb of psychic Life and a gradual acquisition of Consciousness that changed in quality (with the transmutation of astral Energies);

- a birth on a Subtler Plane - the Mental Plane - as a different spiritual personality;

- a period of adaptation which can be roughly compared with our notions of “childhood” and “adolescence”;

- a gradual maturing and renewal of a vigorous activity which, just like on Earth, creates daily new clusters and causes that must be settled in another postmortal existence;

- a gradual energy depletion that transits into a semiconscious state and later into an unconscious state;

- a period of anabiosis in the energy-information cell of Spirit;

- a preparation to a new incarnation;

- another physical birth of the Soul as a new personality.

We can clearly see from the above that, after abandoning the physical body, the human Soul transits in other conditions of existence of Consciousness. And after some period of adaptation it continues to live an efficient Life there, helping as much as it can the multimillion spiritual community of the Subtle World and occupying in it its own place which corresponds to its abilities and proclivities (although it happens not nearly with all human beings, which is described in details in the next books).

For many people their physical Death is just a more valuable continuation of efficient spiritual Life which they began on Earth. And the Souls of many deceased people, after the purification from “contagious emanations” of lower Earth Energies, transit gradually to different subplanes of the Mental Plane - certain Spheres of Space limited only by quality, frequency of Energy vibrations that constitute the Plane Matter. According to the Christian terminology, we can call them different stages of Heaven.

We should mention, that Nature deceives inhabitants of Heaven not less than you and us. It has for them a far more “real” bliss and happiness THERE than HERE, where all unfavorable and accidental circumstances act against us and where our inborn helplessness, taking into account all so-called “accidents” and “circumstances” of our Life, made our earth uncrippled happiness completely impossible for us.

But we repeat again that far from every human Consciousness is ready for such active and efficient postmortal existence. Only those who are intellectually and spiritually developed suit for it, as rougher subtle bodies cannot penetrate into a flow of Energy of subtler Matter, while subtle bodies consisting of light high-quality Energy penetrate easily all these Spaces. But this does not mean that our whole earth Life can be easily and freely observed by Consciousnesses from Higher Planes of Existence.

The impossibility for pure disembodied Spirits to communicate with the living, even by means of mediums or phantomosophy, can be explained with the following reasons:

a) due to the antagonism of corresponding Energies that surround these Worlds;

b) because of a complete difference between physiological and spiritual conditions;

c) because a chain of Worlds is the EPICYCLICAL and ELLIPTICAL orbits of existence, each with two focuses, on one of which there is an incarnated human being and on the other there is a pure (!) disembodied Spirit;

d) due to spiritual impenetrability between the Sphere of Causes (Earth also belongs to it) and the Sphere of Effects (subjective Worlds belong to it); the former is positive and the latter is negative.

But if there is a strong psychic, sympathetic connection between a human being who remained on Earth and the Soul of a deceased person, the latter, until his/her Soul stays within the Astral Plane, has great possibilities to exert a psychic influence on the living one. Though at the same time, the Soul of the deceased person makes itself liable to the natural danger being burdened with karmic attachments.

As we mentioned the possibility of psychic connection between the living and the deceased, we would like to point out the following important moment: the quality of memory left by each of us after Life on Earth influences immensely on the duration and quality of our postmortal existence.

The purer, higher and kinder are Thoughts and feelings of those who knew us about each of us after our Death, the more Energy of high vibrations can get our Soul for its activities in the Subtle World, and the longer will be our fruitful existence in higher subplanes of the Astral Plane as a personality of our last incarnation. The Energy of such memory allows the Soul to enter into Worlds of the Mental Plane with a large energy potential which makes it possible for the Soul to stay even longer and be active in these Divine Worlds.

For instance, I know for certain that the personality of Georgian poet, Shota Rustaveli, transformed in quality, and due to the good memory left by him during his Life on Earth which created quite a powerful energy-informational personal Egregor that became a part of the Christian Egregor, has continued its active and fruitful work in a Mental World for about eight hundred years after his Death further developing the area of Knowledge which appealed to the poet’s Soul during his Life.

And his Spirit, having gained an immense mental experience in this sphere, reincarnated on Earth as a new personality created by it by means of a successive projection of itself as a Soul-Analogue on Matter of the three lower Planes of Earth in order to give people Knowledge the absence of which makes their existence on Earth thoughtless and their Life after Death senseless. It is the knowledge you now get from our books.

It is not for nothing that I use all the time the pronouns “we”, “our”, because the personality of Segrey Tsvelev has made a very little contribution to the diffusion of the knowledge mainly connected with the demonstration of persistence and assiduity during writing and publishing of all these books. The information that underlay the “Life between Lives” series was given or rather duplicated into my personal Consciousness from Constant Mental Atoms of Shota Rustaveli and twelve other Soul-Aspects incarnated before me as a summarized result of their joint diligent postmortal researches for more than eight hundred earth years.

Many of these outstanding personalities, like Rustaveli himself, seemingly no older than forty years, readily provided their spiritual assistance to me in the composition of materials underlying these books and also gave me a lot of very valuable information during my astral explorations. In terms of energy and information, the Afterworld depends greatly from us, the living, and we, in our turn, depend in many things on the influence of Consciousnesses from the Subtle World.

Without this bilateral close relation our Existence would have become simply impossible. Our inner, spiritual, psychic Life is the very point of our contact with the Afterworld. In order to step “outside” you first have to enter “inside” yourself. “Verily, - said Jesus, - the Kingdom of God is inside you!”

To get into our World, inhabitants of Higher or medium layers of the Astral Plane need to know how to change the focus of their attention, which is achieved by an act of Will using a certain method revealed to me by my Teacher. Then the Soul, having “descended” to the Earth Plane, without any help from a medium, can observe the motion of energy of our three subtle bodies or at its will can even fail to notice that it occupies the same Space with one of the living persons.

By the way, as we have previously described, using the same method a living person can easily visit any World of the Astral Plane and see from his/her own experience that everything we describe is not an idle figment of imagination or a fanciful fairytale, but the veracity that can be understood, naturally with allowance for individual features of every person. Another question is whether you are ready psychically and morally for this?

The Astral Plane is not a place for leisured walks of light-minded gadders and irresponsible trouble-makers. Its really boundless vastitude has much more perils for every living person than in a primeval forest during full moon. Moreover, when your experience in astral explorations is insufficient, during the absence of your field capsule, your dense body can be easily occupied by some lower astral entity or the Soul of a suicide suffered from distress of the Soul until the natural end of his/her Life term.

Yet, in order to get into the Afterworld, you have to do very little: you should hold your breadth in a certain manner and concentrate on any Plane of the Subtle World, and your Consciousness will be immediately carried to the chosen area of Space where you will be able to enjoy the views of various cities and changing landscapes of different places.

The purer is your Consciousness the higher are Spheres that it can get into. But be careful, if a single Thought of malice or greed reminds in your mind, you will certainly fail to avoid troubles during your meetings with lower Spirits and inhabitants of the Worlds of descensive series.

Due to the hold of your breath the body accumulates a subtle essence of a very strong poison which in certain doses stimulates psychic Nature of the human being changing its vibrations. Normal healthy lungs get rid of the poison during natural breathing in the processes that are well known to physiologists.

But a person living in the conditions of a dense protein body, in order to get accustomed to the psychic World and make the exit of the subtle body easier, must change adequately his/her vibrations. And the change of vibrations can be achieved by a slight increase of concentration of the above mentioned poison. Is it dangerous? For those uninitiated into some nuances (and there are some!) it is very dangerous…

So, almost at any moment, having concentrated and looked inside himself/herself, a trained person can switch to the state of subjective bliss which is similar to the one enjoyed by Souls that crossed the line of so-called Death. Due to such subconscious experience we are able to cognize what we are describing to you now, getting all our knowledge from corresponding levels of the Mental Plane.

When storms and passions of fleshly Life are put to silence the human being can look into his/her own inner Nature and inner Life that belongs to the World of other dimensions.

The difference between the living and the deceased is basically that the living possess equally subjective and objective Consciousness, but the latter has a predominant function, and after the human being’s Death there is a prevailing tendency for subjective Consciousness. However, by training his/her Will the human being can keep his/her objective Consciousness after Death. It can be achieved only by developed Spirits. But most Souls unblotted with evil acts and Thoughts that have transited after Death into the Subtle World delve into a sort of subjective bliss which make them indifferent to what happens not only on Earth, but also in Heaven.

There is a legend in ancient religions that during its reincarnation the Soul is responsible for the sins made in its previous Life. It is not quite true; it gets atonement for its wrongdoings during its “ordeals” in Purgatory, where it finds out from its own experience that it is inadmissible to commit such sins in the future. That is why we would like to remind once more that God does not punish human beings for their previous Lives. Human beings punish themselves by breaking the Universal Law which is clearly and briefly stated in the Ten Commandments of Christ.

We state most emphatically that so-called “Paradise” is not exclusively for adepts and saints, and “Heaven” is not a place where dwell a great many of the deceased. Very stained Souls, after a preliminary purification in lower and middle spheres of the Astral Plane, get to the first stage of Paradise (you will read about it bellow) where they undergo very severe ordeals (naturally, they are of inner, moral nature).

If the Soul passes them it transits gradually to higher stages that correspond to the vibrations of its mental and fiery bodies. And so on until the Soul’s Energy becomes even lighter and purer. This process may continue, as we have already mentioned, hundreds of earth years, but for Souls this time is immeasurable.

First Hours After Death

“And Jesus said, I am the resurrection and the life; he who has faith in me, though he be dead, yet shall he live; And he who is alive, and has a living faith in me, shall never die”.

The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ, 148:17-18.

So, you and we have found out that at the moment of Death the etheric body separates from the physical one and hovers connected by an energy “cord”. Usually its exit happens not immediately, but gradually: the legs come out first, followed by the head. When the Soul becomes completely free from its dense body which is the heaviest burden for its spiritual Forces, its Consciousness begins gradually to regain the Forces in some measure; and the Soul will be able to “read” pictures in the negative pole of reflective Ether of its astral body which is the dwelling of subconscious memory.

At the moment of Death, everything is confused in Consciousness; the Soul needs some time to realize itself in a living environment which is new to it. At first moments after the separation from the physical body, it is as if stunned and disorientated, like a person who is all of a sudden awaken from the state of a deep sleep and who now tries to understand where he/she is and what happens with him/her. The whole Life passes before the deceased person like a panorama, but, as we stressed many times, all events are projected from Consciousness on plastic Matter of the Astral Plane in a reverse order, taking into account the recency and importance of events for the person. The events of last days before Death come first and so on backwards, through periods of maturity and youth to childhood and infancy.

Everything is preserved in the human memory and nothing is forgotten after so many years, especially if the person took a sensible participation in the events. The Soul stays in front of this panorama of its own passed Life being at the same time an observer and a direct participant, besides, it takes both parts of any action that ever took place.

It sees all the events as they are registered in its higher conductors, but it takes the events not as a participant, but as an outside observer. At first, it does not feel anything towards them. Sensations will appear some time later, when the Soul enters into the World of Desires which is the World of feelings and emotions. And now it is still in the Etheric Layer of the Physical World.

The review may last several moments or many hours, months and even years, depending on the ability of the Soul to stay in such state, if it is necessary. The duration of such unconscious period that comes after Death varies with different people and depends, first of all, on the level of Consciousness of the deceased, their degree of evolutional development and acceptance or rejection during their Life of the phenomenon of Life after Death.

Some people can stay in a conscious state only twelve hours or less; other people sometimes can keep this state for some days. But no matter how long they stay in this state of Consciousness, the panorama of Life lasts continuously dealing with all the contents of the archive of subconscious memory, even if any event failed to touch adequately the sensational part of the deceased, but caused their future karmic relations with participants of this or that event.

This period is the shortest with those who during Life identified themselves not with the body, but with Spirit inside it, and that is why they can immediately realize their position. Atheists and pragmatists have the longest period of the unconscious state. This moment of Life after Death reminds the condition when a person drowns or falls down from a high place.

In such cases the etheric body also leaves the physical body and the person sees his/her Life as if in a single continuous flash of light, because he/she instantly loses Consciousness. Of course, “the silver thread” does not break during this process; otherwise it would be impossible to regain Consciousness because of Death.

The clarity of Thoughts and the memory of the past come back to the Soul as the influence of rough earthly vibrations, that envelope its Consciousness and Thoughts like a fog, get weaker. The very moment of the transition into the Subtle World is sensed as dizziness by most people, just like during fainting. In essence, it is “a mortal fainting”, when, as in a state of a deep trance, our breath becomes intrauterine for some time, that is like it was during our prenatal development before our birth.

As fetus does not breathe with its lungs and its heart can beat very infrequently or have no beat at all, nonetheless continuing its functions of blood pumping. That is why Lamaists count “the faint of Death” from the last breathing-in till the last breathing-out.

This state of unconsciousness and confusion has many particular features depending on the character of a person and, what is less important, depending on the type of Death. In case of a violent Death (suicide, execution, accident, etc.) at first the deceased person usually is surprised or shocked at the change that happened to him/her and for some time does not believe that he/she is dead.

Having recovered from the first shock from Light, those who died in a sudden Death begin to discern gradually the surrounding people and environment perceived by them slightly unusually: all objects seem strangely volumetrical, at wish they can “see” not only the foreground, but also the background and even the internal content of objects. The deceased hover within the same limits as during their Lives, - in habitual places, among people they know.

Having looked at people bustling about the place of accident or in the hospital, or in another place where the human being died, Consciousness that was lost at the beginning of the transition can be distracted and meet “face to face” with “the reality” of what happened. Having found itself outside the body, the first thing that appears in Consciousness is the question: am I dead or not? The human being sees his/her relatives, friends or medical personnel, hears what they talk about. “Where am I? - asks our inner Essence as soon as it comes round.

At a certain moment the deceased notice nearby their former physical body which lies motionless. The attempts of some of them to come back and get inside their body lead nowhere. Once their own and well-known physical body that now became very cold as a cast-away heavy spacesuit and very unattractive, absolutely strange (especially if Death happened as a result of a murder, catastrophe or accident when there are heavy injuries of the physical body and its parts) defies all attempts of its former owner to control it.

Many times I observed from outside as some of the deceased kept sitting for a long time near their own dead body, horror-stricken, in despair, hesitating to leave it and banishing persistently the Thoughts that they are already dead. Even when I approached them in order to console them and tell them that now their Life came to a higher phase, they as if did not hear me and acted just like those in the state of a deep sleep.

Such state of non-acceptance of the fact of Death can be explained as follows: Consciousnesses of some persons, overtaken by a sudden, accidental Death, become as though stunned (I simply cannot find another word) by a very quick and abrupt change that happened to them. For such Consciousnesses that did not acknowledge existence of Life after Death for some time their own Death remains a synonym of destruction and annihilation. They simply reject the fact because they still can think, see, hear and that is why they cannot consider themselves “dead”.

The illusion of previous existence in the material World is strengthened by the fact that the deceased see their body which has completely preserved its shape and its minutest face features that have been very familiar for so many years. As the deceased focus their attention on their own body, they fail to realize and study the specific features of their non-psysical, etheric-astral nature, that is why, for some time, they still continue to consider their body solid and dense, though these qualities may be considered preserved with allowance for the specific nature of Astral Matter.

Subsequent sensations of the deceased, the subject and scenario of events that happen around them depend completely, firstly, on the degree of readiness of Consciousness for its postmortal existence, secondly, on the thing that is usually called “the state of Spirit”, and, thirdly, on the quality of their Live on Earth. If during last minutes of dying Consciousness of a person was gloomed with a strong fear or was in a sad, sort of sleepy state, these feelings by no means can change spontaneously to higher-quality and lighter ones during the new, postmortal state of Consciousness. In such cases there usually comes a state similar to a sleepy unconsciousness, or a slumberous wandering among archetypes of lower layers of the Astral Plane according to the principle of attraction of similar vibrations.

If the field capsule of a person has accumulated a lot of negative vibrations in the form of low-sensual astral ideas and imperfect thought-forms, such postmortal state of Consciousness is very unattractive, at least from outside. Naturally, we do not yet mean the dreadful postmortal fate of all sorts of criminals, rapists and other contemptible beings that occupied a human body. We will talk about them separately, though it is simply impossible to describe all physical sufferings, sensational excruciations and spiritual torments that expect them. A little later we will still try to give at least common descriptions of such states of Consciousness.

So, let us make the first summary of our observations of the deceased: after a complete exit of the field capsule from its physical body, after some time that depends on individual features of the Soul of the deceased and the nature of their Death, the etheric capsule, separated from dense Matter, joins the field capsule, and only after that the deceased acquire the ability to feel and see themselves in the form of a habitual human body. Now, having studied themselves and focused on a part of themselves, all of a sudden they find out that they are slightly different than before, - they are as if aqueous and unusually semitransparent, although they have usual clothes, familiar shoes, hair on the head, and even a beard or a moustache, if there was one, - everything is still present on its place. “We shall not all be dead, but we shall all be changed”, - said Jesus.

Far from all are granted with this, only those people who during their Life on Earth, have managed to develop their own quite stable vibrations of their astrosom, and not only shadowy outlines of lower thoughts and feelings. Very often, when died persons not developed spiritually and of no moral principles, I observed a usual sad picture: immediately after their Death the body of such deceased turns into something shapeless and absolutely far from a human shape, something painted in various toneless colors - it is just a whimsical play of sick light, different dirty brown colors opalescent in space with pastel shades and splotches. It is even hard to believe that not long ago this SOMETHING called itself “a human being”.

Some of such deceased destined to a very quick astral Death, being in this postmortal state, cannot in any way admit that they really look like this. During Life, for the time given to them, these people failed to use the provided opportunity and fulfill their potential as personalities. Very soon the astral and mental capsules of such people simply dissolve in Matter of the Astral Plane among many floating Thought-Forms and Archetypes. And those scarce Existents that inspired them during Life come back to the spiritual depositary of Earth Noosphere and after a while join again with Consciousnesses that study Matter of the Physical Plane.

It is also possible that you, when you die, will feel yourself not a particular personality, but simply “pure Consciousness”. Due to the limiting ability of our language and the absence of necessary words in it, it is impossible to give an exact description of these states, perceptions and sensations. The form of the subtle, “postmortal” body, as we said it before, depends totally on the degree of development and the quality of energy vibrations of the astral body of a particular personality; during the person’s Life on Earth they managed to become consolidated and arrange into a stable and quite strong astral form.

It is believed that if you are unable to define whether it is a dream or reality and you want to make sure that it is not a dream you must pinch yourself. If you do not feel any pain, it means everything that happens to you is a dream. This can delude you during first hours after Death, because the deceased cannot feel any physical pain, due to the absence of an ordinary nervous system in the astrosom. That is why those who decide to follow this rule and fail to pinch themselves will wrongly convince themselves that they just sleep in the bed at home and simply have an unusual dream, and do not go through any real postmortal experience that makes it impossible for them to come back to their usual and familiar material World. Thus they can doom themselves to the immersion into deeper layers of Illusion and drive their own Consciousness into chaos of thoughts and feelings of postmortal confusion.

Sometimes such things also happen with those people whose Death, although it came not all of a sudden, but as a result of a long disease, was still unexpected for them, because they kept grasping persistently at the last little threads of Life, hoped for a quick convalescence, and were not morally prepared for dying. Then, in the Subtle World, you can observe that the Soul of such person follows its own funeral procession as if it were the one of someone else and it talks about the funeral with some other similar newly-dead Souls as about a matter not concerning it. Such unstable state of uncertainty will last until the Soul of the deceased person, forced by evidences of a new surrounding reality, truly realizes it as its actuality.

For really a good and spiritually developed person, the temporary confusion and unconsciousness, that accompany inevitably the process of dying and follow after Death, have nothing related to painful or unpleasant sensations; the dying is usually calm and is very much like the state of a peaceful awakening from a sleep which is usual for each person. But for those who have evil conscience, the dying is full of grief, anxieties and troubles that become more and more intense and stronger as the deceased recognize themselves and realize the dreadful fact of their Death.

In case of a group Death, when people perish simultaneously, by no means all of them and not nearly always and immediately they can see or recognize each other there. Being in confusion that comes after Death, each of them follows his/her own path or takes care only of those whose destiny was really of a great interest to him/her during Life and continues to be of interest even after his/her Death.

At the first moments after the Soul’s exit from the body, the deceased, still unaware of their own Death, see people around them and make futile attempts to establish a verbal or physical contact with them. After some attempts they find out that nobody hears or sees them. Besides, soon they notice that they are absolutely unable to interact physically with the environment: their hands and body pass through the bodies of other people and objects, and the deceased fail to find any means to let the living know about them.

Still there is a possibility most accessible for the deceased to let the living know about them when the latter have their Consciousness in the state of sleep or deep Meditation. I would like to tell about a very striking instance from my own experience.

The son of one of my acquaintances, after his perish in a car accident, tried many times to act through me to convince his mother not to feel sorrow for him, because he is all right, he feels fine and still loves all of them, and is no less alive than they are. That, however, did not take effect and his mother, Larisa Maksimovna, continued to feel crushing sorrow for her only son not knowing that she caused grievous distress for his Soul.

And one night, Sasha appeared in a dream of his former fiancee, Tatyana, and he pointed to the bookshelf, picked up the seventh book of the third row. Sasha showed the book to Tatyana and said: “How can’t you understand, that I am as alive as you are? Considering me dead you do a great harm to me. Take the book, open it and read it…”

When she awoke she remembered everything perfectly, so she approached the bookshelf counted in the third row the seventh book from the left. It was the eighth volume of “The Complete Works and Letters of A.P. Chekhov” (it was the seventh book in the row, as she did not have the seventh volume). Tatyana opened the book in the middle at the first random page (it was page 191) and read the following words:

“…Sweet dreams burn me and I barely breathe from excitement. I want desperately to live; I wish our life was sacred, sublime and solemn like heaven. Let us live! The sun does not rise twice a day, and life is not given two times, - so, grasp at the remainder of your life and save it…”

These words of the great writer should convince you again that for the personality of the deceased there is never another chance to be reborn on the Physical Plane of Earth, - a new personality, that takes a part of the experience and Karma of a particular deceased person as its original information basis, in no way will be able to bear inside itself all his/her qualities, because it is itself a synthesis of many other personalities synthesized before it by its Spirit.

But let us go back to the very first moments of dying. So, at first, when after a certain period of unconsciousness the deceased “come to themselves”, most usually it is quite difficult for them to concentrate on the object to which they pay their attention, or, as they say, “focus it”. This creates a feeling of dizziness and it seems that everything around trembles, is in constant motion, changing all the time as if floating in front of their eyes.

The newly deceased see everything around them, which, in principle, differs slightly from usual contours of the material World, from absolutely unusual angles: if they wish, they can look at an object from above, they can look inside it, they can even examine surroundings not only through walls, but also at any distance, all they have to do is to think about it or wish it. If they want the deceased can see what is located practically at any distance from them, in any place of Earth. At the same time the effect of presence of the deceased in a desired place or near desired people is completely preserved.

Such unique abilities for an ordinary human being are associated with the fact that the vision of the deceased and those who are simply disembodied from the physical body is not in any way related to the physical visual organs, i.e. eyes. The same applies to all the parts of the body, - arms, legs, head, - they absolutely do not influence the quality of realization of the functions they used to perform during Life. Having crossed the border of the four-dimensional Space, blind people regain immediately their sight, those who did not have legs or arms get them immediately, and those who suffered from serious diseases forget their previous troubles out and away which on the Physical Plane mostly were the manifestation of the Law of Retaliation for their wrongdoings committed by them in their previous incarnations. Instead of all the curses of the physical body the deceased get a unique ability to approach instantly and easily any object to which they want to direct the attention of their astrosom’s Consciousness.

As a rule, a few deceased express any warm feelings toward their prone flesh besides surprise: say, of all things, it seems I am already dead, but I still can hear and see, and feel everything perfectly… And if, having opened for themselves their own Death, the deceased do not feel any grief or fear about it, the next Thought on which they concentrate gradually their Consciousness sounds almost as the same question for all of them: what am I to do and where am I to go?

And then, for a not quite certain period, most of the newly deceased have a painful and inexplicable feeling of a complete loneliness, of their irrelevance, of being estranged and aloof from everything remained THERE (i.e. in the Physical World). Often in such cases the deceased get into a state of grief, sadness, though they cannot get rid of the feeling that they really have ALREADY nothing to do with what is going to happen with their body. Very soon a great many of them also stop being interested in everything what is going to happen with their relatives, friends, acquaintances who remained THERE.

Here, however, there may be millions of variants and different feelings. Usually the fact of realizing themselves dead shocks those who during Life spent much time and efforts on their body, their appearance, who were very proud of their beauty and physical perfection, considering it their own achievement, and absolutely could not imagine themselves otherwise. Such people identify themselves very strongly with their physical personality, which certainly will cause troubles, difficulties and inconveniences for them after Death.

After Death any strong attachment causes distress of the Soul and tensions, that is why those, who during Life were strongly attached to their bodies, relatives or their house and household things, make subsequent processes of separation of their Consciousness from Matter of the Physical Plane substantially harder and make their transition to next stages of their postmortal Liberation much more difficult.

Even after the funeral, for a long time, they keep their Thoughts and desires near their houses, relatives and, sitting near their tombs, they suffer greatly because their physical body disintegrates more and more, and they are absolutely unable to change anything. This explains the oppressive atmosphere at Cemeteries, where Souls of the deceased that have not yet completely separated from their etheric capsules still wander about their buried bodies.

For a skillful clairvoyant a cemetery is really an oppressive and sickening view, and if only other people could see this, it would be unnecessary to give a lot of reasons to persuade them to change the current unsanitary method of burying the dead to a more humane method of cremation which returns all the chemical elements of the body to their original state without negative moments for Consciousness of the etheric body that are typical in the process of a slow decomposition of the physical body.

When the period of existence durability of the etheric body’s Consciousness comes to its end, elemental Forces of Nature, that gave their Energy to it, leave the etheric body, and when it is de-energized it quickly comes to a complete exhaustion, if it fails to stick timely to the etheric body of one of the living persons who somehow pays an active attention to the Life and activities of this particular deceased personality.

Such semiautonomous, parasitic existence of the etheric body’s Consciousness of some deceased persons can continue for quite a long time that sometimes is even longer than an average duration of human Life. During physical Life, when the Soul controls completely its conductors, such energy exhaustion of the etheric body interrupts physical waking hours of the human being. But after physical Death the energy collapse of the etheric body’s Consciousness stops the possibility of the deceased to observe from outside a usual panorama of earth Life and finally makes them definitively leave the Physical Plane and withdraw into the Astral World.

“The silver thread of Sutratma”, as we mentioned before, breaks during Death in the same place where “sixes” come together. A similar process, but without a complete separation, happens during a deep sleep. After a final physical Death, however, the etheric body’s Consciousness of the deceased comes back to the physical body, but it does not penetrate into it anymore and simply hovers over it as if floating above the grave and gradually decomposing simultaneously with its former flesh.

Speaking of the etheric body’s Consciousness we mean the part of total Consciousness of the Soul that represented its interests and provided for prompt execution of life-support functions by the etheric body on the Physical Plane during Life of the human being. So, that part of total Consciousness of the Soul also remains in the etheric capsule, and this is the very second Death of the Soul about which we told you.

The process of separation between Consciousness of the Soul’s astrosom and the etheric body, in general terms, is very like parting of etheric Consciousness and the physical capsule. Life forces and accumulation of one of the Constant Atoms are again driven out of decomposing Matter in order to be used later as a core during creation of a new etheric body at next material incarnations of Spirit. So, when the Soul finds itself in the Astral World, being liberated from its two external capsules, it still has the Constant Atoms of the lost physical and etheric bodies attached to the Constant Atoms of the remaining two functionally developed capsules - the astral and mental bodies.

The states of Consciousness of the deceased described above may vary in their duration, but generally they last from one moment to seven days, and in average - about three days during which the Soul has a real chance to come back into the dense body. As we have mentioned, some Souls may be in such dreadful state for months and even years.

In the great majority of cases, in about three days after Death, there is a collapse of the first and second rings of the bioscreen. It means that the Soul’s information supply from the Physical World through the etheric body’s Consciousness stops. After that it is practically impossible to reanimate the dying person.

For many deceased this time passes in a state of complete unconsciousness. It happens if during Life their Consciousness was not duly prepared for perceiving energy changes in it during the process of dying. During such unconsciousness only Eternal Light illuminates the Soul which, however, does not feel it, just like the body does not feel the sunlight’s warmth when it lies in total insensibility under the caressing beams of the Sun. Without recovering Consciousness at the moment of dying, suddenly, like through ice, the Soul of such deceased sort of falls into a completely unfamiliar and strange World of real distress and sufferings, into the Sphere of its karmic obsessions.

If the deceased could consciously leave behind all their desires and attachments, their astral body would fall off very easily and quickly, setting Consciousness free for its subsequent transition into light and iridescent vibrations of the Area of Concrete Thoughts of the Mental Plane. But unfortunately it happens very rarely and only with those who during their Life prepared themselves carefully for their Death. Usually after Death each of us has a very long and heavy trail of various lower kinds of Energy of the Astral Plane.

Most people, especially if they die suddenly, in the pride of years, full of life forces, have in their former earth Life very many various karmic relations and interests which not always may be merely mercantile and extremely material. Such young deceased, even having lost their physical and etheric bodies, not only fail to change their desires, but to the contrary, - on the Astral Plane, most often their unexhausted and unsatisfied desires do not become weaker, but even get stronger by a very intensive longing of the astrosom’s Consciousness for the soonest return to the lost values of the Physical Plane.

In so doing they attach themselves securely and for a long time to lower Spheres of the World of Desires instead of directing themselves into Spheres of much higher vibrations. Though, unfortunately, due to their ignorance they are not always aware of it. On the other hand, old and enfeebled, but kind and loving people who lived unselfishly, but who are quite tired of hardships of their physical Life, and also those who are weakened by long and wasting diseases, after Death go to most favored Spheres very quickly and without long delays at the levels with lower vibrations of astral Energy. In the same manner, easy and free is the fall of a seed from a ripe fruit, while in an unseasoned fruit its seeds are still firmly bound with its flesh and often it is required to exert very great efforts to separate them from each other and from the medium where they ripened.

Later, in our next books, we will tell you in full details how hard and dangerous it is do die for those who are literally “taken” out of their physical bodies by an accident, being in the prime of their life forces and health, who even after their Death get involved in a variety of ways into activities of the Physical Plane; for those who are firmly attached by strong sensual feelings towards their love, family, relatives, friends, or simply by unachieved business ambitions and by pleasures not experienced during Life.

So, let us make another intermediate summary of possible states of Consciousness of the deceased immediately after Death: on the first or second day after Death, the development of events for the deceased, depending on their internal readiness for the fact of their own Death, can take two directions: either they face Kind Sentinels of Eternity in various forms of bright white Light, or, on the contrary, they appear in the Dark World with all its horrors, - on the first day, it is the World of Devas, on the second day, it is Hell and a fall into deep cracks with terrors of Antiworld or karmic horrors of the lowest layers of the Astral Plane. The second case means that the dying, due to a very low level of Consciousness, are absolutely unable to see any Light, because they do not have any.

Chances are very high that evil thoughts or anger inside you can push you into this abyss luring with all sorts of attractive earth obsessions, irresistibly attract Consciousness of the deceased to vibrations that constitute the foundation of their astrosom’s energy, that is to smoky and dark twilight of Hell. If during Life you failed to get rid of the evil, it will certainly draw you into this swamp, from where the return will be long and hard, full of sufferings and vexations of the Soul.

The glitter of Hell that quickly finds identical energy splotches in your astral body at first may seem so warm, close and basking that for anything in the world you would not want to miss this ghostly world that enchants you with your most desirable illusions, while the silver-blue Light of spiritual Beings of the Heavenly Salvation Army may frighten and scare you as you are not accustomed to vibrations of spiritual purity and Love. If vibrations common to Infernal Spheres are present in your astral body, you simply will not be able to avoid looking at this smoky and dark side which seems as if tender and so attracting for your whole self.

On these first three days, not having completely separated from your etheric capsule, you will be able to hear and see all your relatives and intimates who remained on Earth and, being invisible to them, you will get the chance to know a lot that happened before, but for one reason or another was carefully concealed from you. “For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest! - so said Jesus to people, and this is the very truth of which you will make sure after your Death.

This is the most responsible and important moment about which you must know and remember on the very first days after your Death while the reality of physical Life will be still accessible to your perception! On these days you will know about all dirty tricks ever made to you by your closest and dearest people, about betrayal of your friends and acquaintances, about adultery and secret vices of those you love, you will hear and be invisibly present at quarrels and partition of the property that recently was yours, you will find out how quick you were forgotten by your wife or what a relief it was for your husband to go to his lover… And so on, and so forth.

But God forbid you, having seen all this, become furious or burst into the desire of immediate cruel revenge - in such case you will be instantly sucked into an energy whirlpool that leads to the dark Spheres of Hell, where serviceable psychologists of the Antiworld, who are able to appear before you even in the form of lightful Angels, would propose at least a hundred of most sophisticated methods and options of punishment of your foes or your unfaithful spouse.

As soon as your Thoughts of revenge intensify the roughest astral vibrations in you, your Soul will be “sold by auction”, and for a long time, if not forever, you will stuck in the terrible vale of woe and suffering. Yet let us not distract your attention to the worse, and let us follow innocently assuming that the Soul of the deceased is not burdened to such a great extent by lower instincts, vices and wrongdoings.

In such case the Soul finds itself within the sphere of influence of lightful Entities from an independent cosmic civilization from the planet Chiron that is not a part of our Solar system and radiates intermediate etheric-astral Energy. The Worlds of Chiron are populated with affable and kind Beings who love devotedly people of Earth and serve as Guides for human Souls still impure with rough astral vibrations through all Worlds of the Astral Plane of Earth to the main Purgatory located on the Moon.

These Entities may appear before the dying in the form of luminous little balls, communicate with them taking a shape of any human being from the memory of the dying, or appear as a kind lightful Angel, then they can again take the form of a fiery little ball. These Beings appear before all people at fatal or critical moments of Life, irrespective of their religious views. Near such Being whose beams radiate Love, Serenity and extraordinary warmth a person begins to feel a complete inner satisfaction.

Appearance of Light Beings that appear before the deceased at the very first moments of Death usually corresponds to our notions as to Who we believe in or who we loved most, and respected during our Life on Earth. Thus, a good Christian can meet with Jesus Christ Himself, a Moslem may meet the revered prophet Muhammad Himself, a Buddhist - Buddha, a Krishnait - Lord Krishna Himself… Forms used by these spiritual Entities that protect Eternity are converted according to the highest expectations and spiritual abilities of the deceased.

All of them are the lightest images that personify the highest vibrations kept in Consciousness of the deceased. Before less religious people may appear their already dead parents, mother or father, or at first moments of dying they may meet with their son, daughter, grandmother, sister or even an ordinary child who will take confidentially their hand to lead them further.

Having met with one of such luminous Entities, the deceased have the third possibility to make their subsequent fate substantially easier: discern it and do not miss it!

If the human being is able to see, name and accept inside himself/herself this Secondary Light of the first moment of Death, calling it by the name of his/her favorite Deity, - later he/she will avoid many unpleasant things.

Remember: when during dying you see one of these luminous Entities, do not lose courage and step toward It and exclaim: “God! Accept my sinful Soul! For I am here at Your mercy, God!..”

In Eternal Light of vibrations of such spiritual Entity the dying feels an instant perfect balance and unity with their Higher Essence, with their spiritual “Self”. At that hour that is tragic and solemn at the same time, leaving for ever illusions of the material World, human beings have the possibility to become for a while the one who they really are – Divine Light and not simply an earthly personality. At such moments, That Who perceives, realizes and That what is realized become One and Indivisible as They really are. Then the object and the look merge and the Observer and the phenomenon join into the Whole.

Soon or immediately after its appearance, the luminous Entity establishes a telepathic contact with the deceased: there is a direct transmission of Thoughts, but in such a clear manner that any misunderstanding or lie toward the representative of Chiron is simply impossible. The Luminous Entity asks them quite definite questions such as: “Are you ready to die? and “What have you done in your Life?”

Trying to give answers to the questions as detailed and honest as possible, the dying, feeling understanding and support on the part of their agreeable Collocutor, begin to experience as if newly, in the fullest detail and all nuances, all the events from their earth Life and also all emotions, feelings and Thoughts that are connected with these particular events. Our inner memory is such that it contains the minutest details of everything ever experienced, said, thought and done by human beings from their early childhood till extreme old age.

At the same time, during the review the duration of which varies from one person to another, the spiritual Entity concentrates attention of the deceased on understanding the fact that there are only two the most important things in their Life: 1) - they had to learn how to love other people and 2) - only through love to other people they were to get all their knowledge and experience. All the rest was just associated with these two main goals. Thus, the predominant sense of their past Life as though appears gradually before the dying: by sly degrees, during the review, they begin to see themselves, as if from outside, like they really are at the moment of Death and not like they imagined themselves during their Life.

It is the luminous Entity that decides whether it is time for the human being to leave the earth World. If it is, the Entity explains in general terms to the human being what waits for him/her in the nearest future. Sometimes human beings die as a result of an accident or a catastrophe, but according to their Destiny their Life must not yet be finished. If their body is not severely damaged, the Archons of Destiny that are invisibly present there in the form of strict Angels insist on the return of the dying to their body, though many refuse and resist in such cases.

If the body is so badly damaged in the accident that is unable to provide for further activities of the Soul in it, the dying cannot come back into it. In any other case, during a violent Death, the dying always have a choice - they may return into their body or may stay. If according to the Destiny the term of Life approaches its end, but a human being has planned a very important and unselfish work, then in such case, taking into account “the chronicles of Karma” of each particular person, the Archons of Destiny with the participation of the Guardian-Angel of the dying person may “rewrite” his/her Destiny making his/her Life longer for a strictly defined period until the planned work is done.

Those people who during many of their incarnations on Earth were not interested in spiritual matters or spiritual development, who did not believe, as they say, “either in God, or in devil”, but had great pride and strived for domination over people, negating the influence of Light Forces and Dark Forces, - after Death of their physical body they as though disperse among neutral sectors of Space losing their individuality, their immortal Monad and turn simply into atoms of conscious Matter.

Light and heavy Energies contained in their bodies (the so-called “Existents” of the Soul), according to the principle of attraction of similar vibrations, transit instantly to corresponding Planes and knowledge accumulated for many incarnations and imprinted on the Constant Atoms, and experience are distributed among sectors of Noosphere in the so-called “information bank of Earth”.

REMEMBER:

With a new appearance of a shining Entity each of the deceased is given a new chance for salvation from a quick astral Death: all the deceased have to do is to recognize in the shining Entity their own Divine Principle, not to be afraid of its Fire and go bravely toward it, and a previously hidden Secret Path will immediately open before them.

But in order to make in time such a decisive action behind the Looking Glass of the Afterworld, human beings must do a lot of work on their self-improvement here, in their earth existence. The waking up and the preparation of the Soul to its conscious Transition into the beyond must begin not during dying, but while alive, long before Death. Unfortunately, such degree of spirituality is so rare among people, and the insight that opens at the moment of Death usually comes so suddenly, that the balance cherished in Consciousness of most of the dying is, nevertheless, disturbed, and the deceased fall through another unconsciousness into a craftily positioned net of feelings and desires of the Illusion of the Astral Plane.

Here, various sounds may fill the no longer existent ears of the deceased with unearthly din or thunder, and besides Divine Light, in which the deceased failed to recognize themselves, amazingly sharp beams may appear and flare up penetratingly with numberless attractive mirages here and there.

All of them are actions of a numerous army of astral beings - elementals that constitute the foundation of your body, and each of them, at different moments of dying, starts to manifest actively its essence. As for various glittering and flying by visions and many mirages, they all are nothing but Thoughts and feelings of the deceased that were experienced and not extirpated or neutralized during Life.

Here, in the Subtle World, a Thought and an object, a word and an action are equivalent and equidense by their force of action and energy. As soon as the deceased think of something, even unconsciously, that vague Thought, which flashed in their Consciousness, takes instantly a shape of mirages and visions that look “real” for them, manifests in sounds or some particular actions and their degree of “reality” is directly proportional to the force the deceased put into the Thought, feeling or desire.

Even if in the dense body human beings see what they want, what then can we say about reactions of conscious Matter of the Subtle World, where everything is composed by Thoughts, where human beings use the energy of their Thoughts to create everything and instantly see or perceive clearly the results of their thinking activity that may be both beautiful and ugly depending on the degree of their thinking and the level of their intellect.

The whole visuality of the Subtle World is very relative and depends on the development and quality of vibrations of Consciousnesses of people who all lived on Earth once and populate it at different levels. Here, you can infinitely enjoy Divine Beauty and Harmony, admiring the variety of magnificent forms of Light that illuminate and saturate the Mental Plane, or you can rust away in misty, ominous darkness of lower levels of the Astral Plane.

Here, you can use your developed Will and subtle Imaginations to build wonderful palaces and create perfect forms of surrounding Nature, or you can spend your whole postmortal Life on piles of stinky garbage and decaying wastes whose evaporations decompose and destroy both the world surrounded by eternal darkness and puny, ghostly bodies of its inhabitants.

Here, you can immediately learn the language of Spirit and use it for an active communication with other cosmic civilizations and become involved in a common Plan of Spiritual Creativeness, or you can also, as before, during Life on Earth, remain mute, deaf and blind toward to the surrounding World. After Death everyone is awarded according to his/her actions. Each of the deceased realizes and creates according to the level of his/her Consciousness.

People, who live without believe in the Higher World, without a live and constant connection with God and with a spiritual part of Existence, transit with such unsightly form into their postmortal state. “Nothing comes from nothing,” - says the ancient Wisdom. However, the constant movement to the spiritual development and the accumulation of spiritual forces that are given in the Subtle World to believers, cannot be obtained by pragmatic materialists and convinced atheists after Death, for they do not have any realization of the reality of the Higher World in their Consciousness at the moment of Death.

An unconscious state in the Subtle World not only fails to feed and develop their spiritual level, but also decreases what they have casually gained before Death. They come to the Subtle World to continue their Life started on Earth neither renewed, nor spiritually strengthened, but deprived and impoverished, and they have to continue their individual Evolution from a lower stage than those with equal initial possibilities whose thirsty Souls managed to touch the Life-giving Source of Divine Truth.

Without God in the heart there is no path to Evolution! You may call Him as you wish, - Logos, the Higher Reason, the Absolute, Jehovah, Krishna, Allah, Jesus, etc. - but the Higher Hierarchic Principle must be indisputably acknowledged by everyone and carefully observed. Otherwise, Consciousness will have nothing to attach to during Death in order to ascend to Higher Spheres.

We can stand meaninglessly in darkness in front of a very beautiful work of art without seeing its Beauty, because the low level of our own vibrations makes it as if non-existent for us at all, as the darkness inside us prevents penetration of even minutest particles of Light into our Heart. We can ignite Space Fire around us and illuminate the Divine which is always around us only with the Fire of our own Heart. If after Death someone faces only total darkness, then all subsequent changes that happen with the human being not illuminated by the Fire of the Heart will bring nothing but new horrific grimaces.

Only the Fire of the Heart is a reliable guide to higher heavenly Beings. Without it you can neither accept, nor communicate with Light of Higher Spheres. The absence of the Fire of the Heart makes wandering Spirits blind and ugly. After their Death they are the same as they used to be during Life. Death changes nothing in their inner state: people who during their Life surrounded themselves with darkness and ignorance, transit in total darkness and absolute ignorance into the Subtle World. Fiery glimpses are so insignificant for them and the desire for spiritual ascension is so feeble that the Light of Promised Paradise remains simply inaccessible for them. So, after Death they wander about in darkness struggling against any manifestations of Light Forces.

Those, who during Life on Earth did not have any notion and understanding of Higher Worlds in their Consciousness, did not want to hear about them, after Death would never realize their existence. It simply cannot happen otherwise: as they have no realization of the Higher World, therefore, they cannot see what they never thought about during their Life, - because everything THERE is created by Thoughts.

After Death each human being will see the Subtle World according to his/her Consciousness. Consciousnesses that are misty and dim during Life will see nothing but a mist and a dim twilight. Those inhabitants of the Subtle World, who sought for Light during Life here, on Earth, will never lack it. Inhabitants extraneous to the need of Light, after the Transition into the Other World continue to be the same, in twilight. Let us repeat again: “Nothing comes from nothing”.

Now, let us continue our observation of “an average” dying person. So, if up to this point you have not seen Light, failed to recognize God’s assistants in the Beings from Chiron, and yet awoken, come to yourself and understood where you are, take our reliable practical advice: try to keep in mind the only Thought - humility and true repentance for everything bad that come to your memory again and again taking shapes of “real” people, events and surrounding “reality”!

Whoever you meet, humbly bend before them and remember at least one brief prayer from your former Life, or at least something good associated with the spiritual sphere, something you truly believed in on Earth. That will be your “drowning man’s straw”. Resign yourself to anyone and be glad to meet with any guide, any traveling companion, and having recognized in him/her one of those persons that you ever offended in your earth Life, apply to the person with a plea and contrition. Then the invisible Great Path will open that will lead you from the darkness of your own earthliness.

The Religion states: he who comes to Fathers shall dwell with Them. It means that the one who comes to Angels, - after Death will dwell with Angels, the one who comes to God will dwell with God, and the one who sought only for manifesting dark sides inside oneself for the whole Life, shall dwell with demons. “Similar attracts similar!”

It means the one, who during Life grants oneself the highest spiritual progress and sets a clear spiritual direction for one’s Consciousness, will get the best achievement after Death. That is why our direction for the Souls leaving Earth is: hurry upwards, do not look backwards!

It is very important to pass consciously and as quick as possible through lower layers of the Astral Plane. It is necessary that the premortal explosion of Consciousness was able to throw the nucleus of Spirit as far as possible, because when it catches on lower layers, it is very difficult to ascend later. And one more thing: if the state of your Soul permits, use the last flash of your nerves’ emanation as imaginary bright Light for a rapt spiritual flight, so that your Soul could use the spiritual beam to pierce the hard path to the Higher Spheres and the lower layers of the Astral Plane benighted with sordid desires would begin to thin away quicker.

When the Tibetan saint Milarepa prepared for his own dying, he went into a cave and there he continued a deep Meditation, bringing his inner state of Spirit into Harmony. Thus having subdued completely the lower capsules of his Soul, that were enfeebled and tortured by pain, to his higher Consciousness, he greeted his Death with a song as a natural and inevitable end of his earth Life.

He read his last farewell sermon to his disciples, and after that he composed a wonderful hymn that praised Divine Spirit and chanted it. When he finished chanting, he entered into a serene state of Samadhi and left his physical body. Milarepa died in the state of Love and Joy, as it befits to leave this difficult World for all saints and sages. That is why we repeat so often to you how it is important, before Death, to keep clearly in your Consciousness a firm and joyful decision to go to Light, to God, to hurry up to a spiritual perfection.

Each such admonition for the dying is extremely important. Although the prayers of the wandering Soul are very useful, they have one, but a very important disadvantage - they reiterate the words of pacification, but the Soul of the deceased needs a reminder: hurry up, Soul, hurry up to the Higher Worlds!

Shining with joy and anticipation of an intimate meeting with their spiritual House, at the moment of the transition into the Subtle World, specifies for Consciousness of the deceased the best direction. But that joy must be accumulated here, while living on Earth. If you, still being on Earth, approach discernment of Divine Light inside yourself, then during the Transition into the Subtle World that your spiritual achievement will turn into a true blessing and an instrument of your salvation from getting involved into the Spheres of astral energies of a low range of vibrations. For only conscious pursuit of the shining of Divine Light can lead your Soul after Death using the shortest path to the place where all conditions for your intensive growth and spiritual development wait for you.

REMEMBER:

States of despair and perplexity encumber very much the adaptation of the Soul of the deceased to new conditions of postmortal existence. But if during dying you remember very well where and why you must go after Death, this will call to you a lot of light assistants who will make your path easier. All you need is to have all your actions, feelings and Thoughts filtered through the prism of Love and Beauty, keep them noble and generous. Then your inner and irrepressible inclination to the beauty will raise your Soul during the Transition into the Higher Spheres of the Subtle World.

In view of the above, we would like to give another admonition: beware of belated premortal repentances! Remember, that after Death they will be followed by reaping the most grievous remembrances. You should not put off the heavy load of committed sins till the last moment, - find courage in yourself and strength to confess everything that oppresses you every second, do not put off the heaviest and the hardest till the last moment, “do not put it on a shelf”.

The false shame at what is committed may play a low-down trick to you at the most important moment of the Transition, revealing all your “dirty linen”, instead of giving your Soul the possibility to enjoy its own inner Light. But if you lack Will power to do it, it is still better and safer to transit into Eternity with a karmic burden which you carry on your shoulders than creep through the back door of Hell with a feeling of cowardly uncertainty.

If you sinned in anything, accept this fact without fear and be grimly determined for yourself to never and not at any price repeat such sin. Those, whose Thoughts and feelings are stubbornly concentrated on their sins at their very last hour, have to experience them again and again after the threshold of Death until they exhaust from their own astrosom all energy vibrations that constitute the thinking and sensual basis for such karmic remembrances.

There is the law: each action is accompanied by its inevitable reaction. That is why each reason is inevitably followed by an effect which cannot be changed by anything, except a powerful dynamics of Will Power. When Will Power changes effects of the preceding reason, it always happens due to the rise of an opposite reason, more powerful than the first one, - more powerful to the extent that the first reason is carried away with it, like a heavy flow carries away a thin squirt of water in a pipe.

If you acknowledge the fact of your sin, but you are ashamed to confess your actions in public, at least hurry up to make as many good deeds that would be much more powerful than your sins. Then you will not only get your reward for it, but also get absolution of your sins.

So, let us make another intermediate SUMMARY:

If during first “moments” and “days” of your postmortal Life you fail to use the three possibilities given to you by spiritual Forces to make your further postmortal destiny much easier, then, after the observation of your own funeral and acquaintance with other temporary inhabitants of the cemetery, you finally leave your etheric capsule, as if “falling” temporarily into darkness, and your Consciousness “emerges” in a totally different World that is substantially distinct from the usual material World.

Here, you must be very careful and attentive, otherwise you risk to get into difficult karmic troubles! First, if you fail to lift your Spirit, you must try at least to become calm and establish a state of serenity of your Soul.

You must understand that you do not need to hurry anywhere and there is no use to be afraid, because everything that can happen to you here has its reason inside you and is projected into Space around you from yourself, from your own memory and imagination like a film on a screen. Now you are “a film strip”, the surrounding World is “a screen”, and conscious Astral Matter is “a film projector”.

REMEMBER:

Here, no one and nothing, except yourself, can do harm to you, there is no use to be afraid of your Death, because you are ALREADY dead, because you are NO LONGER where you were before it! A moment ago you lived “THERE”, and now you live “HERE”!

Consider that you have simply for ever changed your place of residence and nothing else! You must have moved sometime in your Life from one town to another? And nothing terrible happened to you? The same thing happens after the Transition: do not be afraid of anybody and anything, because now you cannot be killed, or torn to pieces, or harmed in any other way, as it was possible in your earth existence.

Say, how can your own dream harm you? If you got into this World, it means that you are still very far away from your spiritual perfection, - otherwise now you would not have wandered timidly here, among your own shadows, but would have enjoyed a company of more worthy spiritual Entities. Is there any sense to lament and groan? It is easy to be wise after the event.

You spent you whole Life sleeping and had dreams that seemed to you as your true Life. Remember how many times they tried to wake you up, but you persistently did not want to open the eyes of your Soul. Now you still continue your sleep in the same way. That is all!

What have changed inside you with the physical Death? Nothing! Try to understand it at once, as soon as possible and do not grasp at the past that can never be returned, do not harrow feelings of your inflamed Soul, which, when blown up, can totally absorb all your Consciousness and lead you to the dreadful places of your past trials.

REMEMBER:

Most of all beware of beware of your own involuntary Feelings, Thoughts and Emotions, which here become separate and insidious, quite palpable and dangerous individual entities. Each of them is your own creation, made by your own ignorance, stupidity, self-conceit and vices.

That is why ask for pardon and help with everybody who you meet on your path, however frightful and horrible they might seem to you at first, as with your own Thoughts, as with your own creations. As all of them are your own parts, they are you, the one you perhaps do not know. Know yourself and become horrified!

Pray for help appealing to all saints, to the Blessed Virgin Mary, to Christ, to everybody you are able to remember and about whom you have most cherished memory. And soon you will see that all your fear will gradually cease, and Entities of Light will certainly help you. Let kind-heartedness and benevolence become your main feelings.

After you manage to put your Thoughts and feelings in some order, brace yourself up and look around at everything and everybody around you with attentive and kind eyes, because, let us remind again: everything that may happen to you here and everybody you may meet here IS YOU, IT IS YOUR INNER ESSENCE unknown to you, not cognized during your earth Life!

REMEMBER:

Here, you may become anything you like. All depends on you, on the quality of your psychic and spiritual accumulation. All these mirages and monsters are also you. Yes, you are no more, but the one who is no more comprises nothing and everything inside. If only you fail to recognize yourself in all your surrounding, if you fail to open internally and fail to response with Love to all these numerous visions and sounds, if you fail to see your relationship with them, fear will come over you without fail!

That is why go with peace and humbleness, constantly repeating the following prayer in your Heart: “Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God! Forgive me, for I am sinful!..”

Even in our earth Life we change much earlier than we manage to notice these inner changes which make us unrecognizable even for ourselves. Accepting something inside us, we turn into it, at what we previously looked as if from outside, with the eyes of someone else. After Death, ABSOLUTELY ALL our invisible Thoughts and unconscious feelings, ABSOLUTELY ALL our inner content appear in front of us in the most “real” and “physically tangible” form. Try to understand that now there is nothing in the World that could be outside you, - everything you perceive is only inside you and is released from there outwardly with the help of pliant Matter of the Astral Plane.

A menacing, igniferous monster that seeks to devour you, and a bright, pure flame that shines and blinds painfully your eyes, - they are all vibrations that constitute your real Being, your imperfect Soul. As heritage from your earth Life you received your earthly memory that contains so many things that you considered gone for ever and beyond recall! All your previous grievances and infidelities, treacheries of friends and spiritual meanness, theft and cunning, fear and humiliations, - here is your whole earth Life full of sins and wrongdoings, secret vices and sensual obsessions, lustful fantasies and internal lechery carefully hidden from others.

For all years of your past Life all this astral slime was contained in you and waited patiently for the possibility to deceive your Will and vigilance and break away with whoops, shrieks and horrifying screams that take quite specific ugly shapes and horrendous forms in Astral Matter.

This is also you!

Understand, realize and humbly accept all THIS -

and then you will be saved!

Besides, on your path you may meet with all sorts of allegedly occasional travelers coming from the opposite direction, beautiful girls on trees or near a river will invite you affably to them promising the most exquisite sexual pleasures and all kinds of sensual delectations secretly nourished by you during your Life. All of them are your former secret Thoughts and fantasies, desires and passions of your earth Life.

Always be wide awake: it is your whole own lower essence that would appear to try and test you in the form of dreadful forest spirits, hobgoblins and pretty, alluring mermaids. Remember that all these “real” beings are just sections of your postmortal path of ascension to the summit of your Consciousness: as soon as you weaken your vigilance, relax, desire to lie down or even simply sit down to have a rest, - the road will go down with you to the vale of woe and tears, to the nastiest place where your temptation would allure you.

Remember that behind you there is no road from the very beginning. That is why do not stop and do not look back however dear and familiar are the voices that would call you. Keep your sincere desire to get rid of all of this as soon as possible! Avoid approaching to the places of gray-bluish dimness that invite you by their calmness and a somnolent promise of heavenly, refined bliss. Go to the Light of a yellow flame (the Earth element), however bright and intolerable its shining might seem to you! Become this Light!

If you fail to recognize yourself in the fury of the yellow Fire, you lose another real chance to become free from this illusion. What else could you do, if you are so stupid and ignorant? Now run from the dim gray-reddish twilight that surrounds you from all sides like an evening fog. For this is the path to the place of dwelling of castaway Spirits where you will never find salvation. Otherwise you will become one of them, - a ghost connected with them by the same place and a common pattern of suffering of the Soul.

Now your path upward will be hard and long! But despair is a bad assistant in your astral ordeals. That is why look around and focus persistently your look and all your Will on a bright scarlet flame that personifies the Fire element, discern yourself in it, force yourself to change very drastically and become this Fire.

But if you fail to recognize yourself in the scarlet pure flame and still continue to remain only the one you consider yourself, then you will have to make another choice: either you identify yourself with a pure green Fire that began to shine in the north and personifies the Air element, or, frightened by it, try to hide in a dim greenish calmness of jealousy and envy. In the latter case your path will stop for a long time and the stop will be very sad. That is why look fixedly at the brilliant green flame!

When they appear before your eyes all together: the brilliant pure rainbow of white (Water), yellow (Earth), red (Fire) and green (Air) flames, - don’t you try to choose any of them, but love them all together like a reflection of your own Fires, recognizing your own flame in them, unknown till now. Unite with yourself through them - pervade everywhere and there will not be any secret to you.

And God forbid you to be tempted by the charm of six dim fires sparkling near them: pale-white, yellowish, reddish, greenish, bluish and black-gray! Or else you will fail to escape from one of the six Worlds where there is no certainty and no protection.

Remember, that nothing of the above would not have happened if you could manage, from the very beginning of the postmortal transition or at least at any its previous stages, to get rid of the mask of Illusion and recognize your own reflection in everything that happened. Of course, a help may come from your Guide, but even this will totally depend on you, your free choice and hence on the degree of purity of vibrations of your astral body.

At the last moment your whole Life will reflect in your memory, coming out of all forgotten nooks and corners - picture after picture, one event after another. The dying brain will force out the memory by an extremely strong impulse. That is why the memory will reconstruct exactly each impression committed to it during the whole period of mental activity.

The impression or Thought which was the strongest, naturally, will be the brightest and will surpass all the rest that will disappear to reappear again only in the Higher Spheres.

During Death, as in a dream, the most difficult thing is to keep your Consciousness, put in order muddle Thoughts that do not respond in time to quickly changing situations, and get out of control of fears and feelings. All lower and material accumulations, all passions and insatiable desires drive the Soul steadily and irresistibly downwards, back to Earth, where you are no more.

That is why we give you an advice: do not waste your time when you are alive, because your Death is much closer than you think. Each night going to sleep, be always ready to meet it.

Of course, not everyone wanders about like a blind kitten in its domain. At the moment of Death, the Eternal Light illuminates the Mystery of an instant insight and a momentary ascension. The challenge is to be able to discern this Light and accept It inside yourself. But in order to be capable of such acceptance, you must free enough place in your Soul for this Light and be strong enough to throw away all unnecessary psychic ballast that draws the Soul down like a stone to the bottom.

Whatever happens to you after Death, whatever are events or people among which you find yourself, whichever monsters or deities follow you, remember well the signs of your Freedom: a bright shining of the Sun (rush for it!), a clear cloudless heaven (dissolve in it!), a sweet scent of incenses (saturate with them!), a wonderful mystic music (become it!).

Fear is the main and the meanest foe on your postmortal path. As soon as you are afraid of anything and run horror-stricken or freeze in frustration and smitten with paralysis, - you will instantly fall down to the darkest corners of your Soul. Here, even the cleverest, but self-assured person can slip and go to the bad, and the laziest and silliest person, but who bethinks and understands in time, can be saved.

Therefore, do not be afraid of anything and anybody, do not come to a dead end, cognize yourself, your Thoughts and feelings in everything, and you will join yourself and will be saved.

Always remember that you are a wave of Light that strikes against monolithic lumps of inert Matter and, extracting them from darkness and non-existence, lifts up what can be lifted up, to the source of Light. Whatever whirlwinds or storms of the Astral Plane would twist you, send your appeals for help upward, and Matter of Light will be roused up and shining Angels will come to help you.

Death is the return to God, to Love

While in the physical body it is practically impossible to understand God without connecting Him, in your imagination, with a certain personification, image, impersonation. Eternity does not belong to our World. We do not even have an approximate notion that would be grand and all-inclusive enough to achieve and understand unlimited Divine Love during Life.

In order to understand anything, we, people, must create a certain image or at least a scheme in our imagination. God simply cannot fit into our limited imagination. Only having liberated from heavy and most awkward physical guise, the Soul, to a greater or lesser degree, can begin to realize and feel inside itself and in every other thing all-pervading waves of Love which never disappears in anything. And this very Love is God.

Casting-off of the physical body and coming of the Soul to its original abode, to the boundless Ocean of Divine Love, automatically sets Consciousness free from the Thought that the human being with its little World - Earth - is “the hub of the Universe”, the sun of knowledge dazzles the Soul and many secrets become clear and understandable to it.

This automatic acquiring of Knowledge and instant overwhelming with Love cannot be conveyed by any words, these vibrations cannot be compared to anything or measured by anything, they can only BE FELT inside, in the very depth of Your Self. This deep cognition of the Truth in yourself happens INEVITABLY during each dying, if only you do not make a traditional mistake and impersonate God-Love with something or somebody, but during Life dedicate yourself to the manifestation in you of Love and Light that constitute the Very Essence of God.

Then the endeavor to understand God and cognize His Love will give you, long before your Death, the possibility to penetrate deeply into the Truth and enter into Love. Love is that very “golden key” which can open the Door leading to your own Soul, and through it - into Eternal Light which is also a supreme manifestation of Divine Love. Love is all-encompassing, infinite and eternal Joy of Unity with EVERYTHING. It is indivisible, because there is neither “more”, nor “less” Love. Simply we, people, far from always can feel Eternal Love in all its entirety.

When you become open enough to feel yourself at least a particle of Divine Love, it will be absolutely unimportant what religion you have: whether you are a Christian, a Mohammedan, a Hindu, or a Buddhist, - after Death your Love will become your visiting card that would allow you to live in any of Divine Worlds. The Heart overwhelmed with Love does not need any religion anymore.

We feel sorry, really sorry for those who do not understand that for a human being Death is the greatest and infinite MERCY which makes it possible for a Spirit liberated form Matter to penetrate deeper into God, merging gradually in Love with EVERYTHING into a harmonious Unity. If in your Heart you bear only Love to EVERYTHING, if you try to live your Life in accordance with the laws of Love, there is no fear for you in Death. Then a natural Death will bring a true Salvation and spiritual Liberation.

You must finally realize that God-Love, God’s Essence, is you, is in you, in every one of you! If during Life you manage to realize in yourself this Light of Love that embraces all the Worlds, then after Death you will simply have no other alternative than to return again to your Primary Source, into this Divine Light, into this all-inclusive Love which is pure, immeasurable Energy. Try to understand that you are a part of Eternity, you are a part of God. It means that you are eternal!

In order to master the art of dying, you must learn to cognize and understand correctly and fully all principal interrelations of your Life and see everything in a constant interaction with each other. Only in this way you will learn to perceive the Light of the Primary Source, Divine Love, and consciously feel that all of you are Divine Sparkles. This is what we personally understand as the term “the art of dying”.

A human being is born in this World to die, and the very fact of our appearance in the Physical World establishes for each of us an unconditional date of our Transition into Existence in “the beyond”. To be born on Earth, live in full the physical incarnation as a personality, and experience Death as the Transition to the spiritual level of Existence is exactly the human being’s earth path.

The stage of Death is not final on this path. It simply allows to bring again to Life all the knowledge gained by you for many incarnations of the Soul not only on Earth, but also on other planets of the Universe, and append to the knowledge the experience of this particular Life.

Dying, however, must not be connected only with the act and a certain date of Death, because for THIS world the process of “dying” of a personality, as we understand it, may (and must) begin long before, well in advance of the physical Death.

You can “die” for years, not physically, but spiritually, resurrecting spiritually more and more, gaining spiritual knowledge and losing your past attachment to everything material, not connected by any means with true roots of the Spirit which gradually moves away from earthly activities. Such “dying” begins from the moment when a human being makes a firm and final decision to go further in Life using a new spiritual path.

Very often Death is accompanied by intensive physical sufferings. You must try to understand that everything which happens to you in this earth Life does not happen by itself, but is one whole learning process THAT YOU PLANNED YOURSELF. All events in your Life are arranged exactly like this in order to give your Soul maximum possibilities and conditions that would allow to use the experience provided by Life on Earth to the best benefit for your spiritual development.

My personal experience of work with death-sick patients showed that these people, when they understand that in dying they continue to study and derive benefit for their Spirit which becomes liberated, they begin not to pay attention to their sick body and becoming spiritually more and more open they continue to gain experience of Life. Each person who lives in this World came here only to get his/her own experience of Life which in no way can be compared with experience of other incarnated Consciousnesses.

When the dying, due to their mental reorientation and spiritual transmutation, begin to concentrate on a qualitatively new Life for them that is connected with new, much higher sensations and perceptions, their Consciousness becomes less dependent on processes of the Physical Plane, pain centers of the brain are overlapped with these new impulses and pains of the physical body cease gradually and totally disappear. They lose fear of the future, break all their relations with the pain and begin to see those who wait for them “at the other side of Existence”.

It is astonishing and unusually exciting to see such people whose facial expression, in spite of their physical pains which accompany their disease, changes completely, the face becomes unwrinkled, the eyes gleam with awareness of the forthcoming Liberation, which not only returns the Soul to its Source, but also sets it free from all human sufferings. That is why Death should always be understood and accepted as the greatest Mercy gifted to the incarnated Soul by God-Love.

Only those, who managed to cognize this greatest Truth during Life and, due to it, discerned their own Path, who stopped to grasp feverishly at illusory earthly comforts, at the sleep of Life, - will find in their Death not an end, but a spiritual serenity which will allow them to remain always conscious during dying, see and discern Light while performing the Transit, and get all the knowledge necessary to begin a new active existence.

Although each Consciousness is ORIGINALLY, in the nature of its divine origin, endowed with an absolute Knowledge of EVERYTHING, but only the experience of spent Life and perceived Death allows the Soul to realize it more and more and master this cognition gradually, thus self-developing spiritually. During the Death-Transition, each disembodied Soul gets an access to certain level of the Knowledge, in accordance with its development. This allow the Soul to continue its further postmortal path to the Source, starting from the spiritual level achieved by it for the time of its Life on Earth.

That is why you should not regret at material losses, as only your spiritual savings will constitute your own equipment during your Life after Death. The higher its quality, the lesser is the content of false, trivial, unnecessary and imperfect things in it, the brighter and lighter will be the beginning of your postmortal existence, the more there will be useful and free space in the spiritual repository of your Soul for acceptance of Divine Love.

Absorb inside yourself this Love and live in Love. Give your Love generously and selflessly to others, not waiting for reciprocity. Love only gives and does not require gratitude. Be grateful for what now CAN be given to you by others, because, when you give, you receive much more than those who only take. Expectation violates the Soul of those who receive, and they experience constantly this discomfort and have to pretend, feeling themselves embarrassed, because they have NOTHING to give in return to the one who gave them the gift.

When you begin to sense Love in yourself and, on the basis of this Love, see your neighbors, than a feeling appears in your Heart which can be called Humility. A true Humility is just a constant awareness of Love in you. Only when you understand Humility IN THIS MANNER, you can give your Love to other people without regret and resentment, not waiting for gratitude from anybody in return.

We know that your Life is full of sharp stones, over which you constantly stumble and injure your body to blood, but when you accept Love into your Heart you will grow wings that would give you the possibility to fly over all material obstacles and get no painful wounds from your falls anymore. Physical human beings are imperfect and being imperfect is their destiny. During Life, in order not to become desperate and achieve perfection, human beings get the chance to feel only a part of Divine Love inside, to anticipate it only intuitively, otherwise they would simply “burn” in it.

When the Soul incarnates on the Physical Plane, it takes with it only a part of its Knowledge of Love, because otherwise it would not be able to use fully all the possibilities provided by all qualities of Life in the Material World. It does not mean, however, that you must let any person who is put before you by Karma to violate your Soul.

You always have the power to discern up to which place of your path you can go together with another person. Never repudiate You real Self for sake of whims or pride of another person. Go with each person until it is possible to do it without harm to your spiritual cognition, - for sometimes your path provided to you by Life is very short.

All our falls happen because of human inability to understand Love of God and because of inaptitude to let It occupy the main place in our Life. That is why this imperfect World, deprived of fullness of Divine Love, must be soon destroyed, spiritually transfigured and rebuilt in such way that inhabitants of the New Earth could fully feel both Divine Mercy and Divine Love in them.

As you read our books, it means that using your free Will and without enforcement you have picked up the thread stretch out by us ONLY FOR YOU. It will inevitably bring you to a new level of cognition, to Knowledge, which will change for ever your whole Life and Consciousness. If you follow the new Path without fear and regret, you will lose many of those whom you previously called friends, but you will be abundantly gifted with new friends both during Life and especially after it.

Remember:

The Spiritual Salvation of your Soul
begins not during dying,
but right here and è right now.

God help you in this
And let Heavenly Forces bless you on this Path!
