the world of the dead

hades the underworld, the world of the shadows, is the realm where the
lowest states of consciousness possible
after death occur. the dead who remain
at this level have had their transition to the normal world of
post-death existence aborted. in this
realm dwell haunting ghosts and
possessing spirits. the lowest
afterdeath state possible is complete
unconsciousness a comatose , none
dream like state. a brief period of
unconsciousness often follows a tiring
death and is recuperative and normal
. but where it is prolonged, it
usually results from a kind of reverse
faith. a belief or an intense hope,
that only nothingness and complete
personal extiction follows death.
this belief can produce a prolonged
comatose state. after death most of
us, thankfully, will not have to
endure unconsciousness,darkness,
or bodiless frustration at the
physical level. we pass immediatly
to the first normal afterdeath
plane of existence which is
supremely beautiful...
