After death

Man lives in his physical body as if in a shell, and it is this shell which prevents him from sensing the reality of the psychic world. But when he leaves his body at the moment of death, he finds himself defenceless on the astral plane. What religions call purgatory or hell are nothing more than states of consciousness fully experienced on the astral plane.

When they die, people who have completely given themselves over to a life of debauchery, injustice, wickedness and cruelty, and who have succeeded in evading human justice, find themselves confronted on the astral plane with all the evil they have committed. During their life they have managed to anaesthetize their conscience, but in death they cannot find refuge anywhere. They no longer have a physical body which protects and desensitizes them, and they experience exactly the same suffering they inflicted on others throughout their life.

-Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
