“Divine Forms” of the Afterlife
We have already discussed before that after the death of the physical body the mind, having lost its anchor, finds itself in a particular “intermediate” condition, much like a dreamlike state, where it perceives phantasmagoric images largely invented by the mind, with varying degrees of energetic “charge.” We said that the Interworld, the interspace, is strictly speaking, not a separate “space,” not a world, but a fiction, a collective fantasy of energetically depleted minds deprived of full vitality for one reason or another.
Accordingly, the postmortem experience by the mind between incarnations in this interspace is more or less “painful,” “pleasant,” and also more or less “effective” depending on the character of the visions it produces. In other words, both the subjective state of the mind and its objective progress within the interspace depend heavily on the “postmortem dreams” it generates. It is obvious that every being should strive both to reduce the negative character of these experiences and to avoid unfavorable scenarios (such as getting stuck in the interspace).
At the same time, despite the similarity of states, the methods of “shaping dreams” that work while alive are ineffective after death, because dreams during life rely to a large extent on the body, using its energy and the resources of the brain to generate their images. The mind, deprived of access to the life force and a physical substrate for memory, is forced to rely only on its own resources, continuing to act in accordance with its current nature.
Put another way, in the interspace you cannot “make” the mind see one vision or another, you cannot cheat, fake, or pretend to be better than you are. This is precisely what, as we said, is the essence of the “Afterlife Judgment”: the mind sees itself “naked,” with no possibility of pretense or posturing.
The multilayered nature of the mind, its different levels and matrices, appears in full clarity — manifesting as gods, demons, angels — each of which, although lacking independent reality, nevertheless tries to “tune” the perception of the interspace to its own characteristics. And while in life one can lock one’s demons away or ignore the voices of one’s gods, in the interspace each of them will create its own conditions — hellish or beneficial — with their own rewards and obstacles.
That is why methods of training the mind are crucial for a smoother passage through the interspace, among which theurgical techniques occupy a special place.
Indeed, a mind accustomed to perceiving powers, matrices, and energetic currents in the form of one image or another will be able to apply this skill in the interspace as well, which will substantially structure and ease its passage.
A clear picture of the world, the habit of “explaining” and “systematizing” are important primarily as a skill: even if one “forgets” this picture, the mind will strive to structure its visions and thereby make it easier to work with them. In other words, it matters less which worldview we live by than the effort and ability to form that picture.
A being who has lived without such a habit will most likely be plunged into chaotic postmortem visions and experiences, which will throw it into confusion, bewilderment, and fear, and deprive it of confident passage through the Interworld, greatly increasing the risk of an unfavorable course of disentanglement.
Therefore the postmortem fate of religious people of any faith usually unfolds far more successfully than that of atheists or the chaotic followers of “New Age.” He who expects to see Christ and angels after death will most likely see them; he who expects to find Yama Raja and the deities Shitro will be among them; and he who counts on Valhalla or the Hall of Two Truths will arrive there — moreover, knowing what qualities they possess, or, even better, having the skill to interact with them, the mind will be able to maintain confidence and steadiness in the interspace, safely passing through it (or choose to anchor itself there). Conversely, musing about “rays of goodness” or “Pleiadian teachers,” and even more so — being accustomed to valuing only material goods and achievements — the mind will face that same muddle in the afterlife, becoming mired and dissipated by it.
What matters is stability, systematic nature, and the broad practical usefulness of the worldview employed by the mind. The more confidently, adequately, and steadily it acts within that worldview during life, the more successful its passage through the interspace will be. Traditional mythological pictures, with all their careful elaboration, systemicity, and jeweler-like “fit” to the nature and features of human minds, prove to be those invaluable “rails” along which the elemental being happily “rides” through the Interworld.
For the Magus, the ability to describe the world systematically, the practice of the yoga of the gods, and other theurgical and goetic skills are not only ways of increasing Power and Authority, but also methods of training, ordering, transforming, and perfecting the flow of his mind — stages of that same “Great Work,” the results of which matter both in the life stream and in the interspaces between them.
Hello! You once said that practices of lucid dreaming and the habit of consciousness to be in virtual spaces can harm in the afterlife. But isn’t it even useful in such spaces for consciousness to find its points of assembly? Isn’t the ability to assemble one’s ‘rational’ version, which can somehow act with awareness rather than just ‘watch cartoons’ burning its accumulations, a bad thing? Again, if we assume that there are some Great magicians or other post-human beings who managed to overcome the cycle of rebirths – what would this transition look like in your opinion? Is it truly just some kind of final death and dissolution in the cosmic ether?
Achieving pleromatic unity is not about ‘dissolving in the cosmic ether’, although, of course, and undoubtedly, it means the ‘final death’ of the ego. https://enmerkar.com/en/way/pleroma-the-great-perfection
Good evening! Human sleep should be an energy expenditure, based on observations and theory. A minor death. But in practice, without sleep, the power decreases and consciousness is forcibly thrown out. And the stream of energy therefore exists both in the Inter-space and it is also vitally necessary in a denser physical sense?!
It is not the Stream of Power that enters the Inter-space, but merely the reserves of tonic pneuma of the beings that enter there.
There is also the Bardo Thodol – the Tibetan Book of the Dead, in which the entire post-mortem path is described in sufficient detail with practical advice.

Is there a connection between the ‘Hunt for Power’ held in Crimea and the military events that forced you to evacuate from your home 8 years later?
https://vk.com/pohodi_za_siloy
Yes, indirectly, there is. But not with the Hunt itself, but with the mistakes that were made concurrently with it. I talk about this in my book ‘The Fall of the Guardian’. However, military actions are, fortunately, not happening at all where Hunts or other Ritual actions were conducted.
Another question concerns the quote: ‘the post-mortem fate of religious people of any faith usually turns out to be much more successful.’ 1) The quote questions the correlation between ‘post-mortem fate’ and the deeds of a religious person during their life, which contradicts many religious concepts. 2) Generalizing for adepts of all religions, while in most religions the probability of entering a conditional paradise is postulated for an absolute minority of adepts or the ‘paradise’ does not exist as such, as for example among the ancient Greeks. 3) Further, arguments are presented, which can be generalized to formulate that knowledge of the causal ‘map of the terrain’ described by mental concepts allows the soul to leave the lower layers and rise to the buddhic layers or higher. Traditionally, it is believed that these layers follow in such an order in a shortened description: ..physical, astral, mental, causal, buddhi, atman, nirvana.. and are represented as layers in the Earth’s atmosphere. You are probably aware of the construction of an ‘electronic concentration camp’, geoengineering, and large-scale technological impact on the entire planet. Now a serious question: the assertion that all ancient (and modern) causal maps of various religions and teachings are effective and fully retain their relevance and efficiency is based on your faith in this or have you verified this assertion thoroughly with your students and have reliable confirmation for it?
I hear about the ‘traditional order’ for the first time, which strangely mixes different mythologies. As for the Afterlife – knowledge of the Map does not change the weight of the soul and cannot significantly influence the fate that follows the Interspace, i.e. the further rebirth, but is merely an additional factor allowing one not to miss the chances that open up in the Interspace due to work during life. As it is said in one parable, Enlightenment is like the rising of the Sun, and there are no practices that can change the time of this rising; however, practices help not to miss the Rising when the time for it comes.
https://vk.com/@absolut_avesta-tonkie-tela-cheloveka The order of the subtle bodies was researched by me based on the well-known book by Lutsenko ‘To the Master, whose star shines from the future’. This is not Lutsenko’s invention, the order is taken from Indian esoterics and is currently essentially accepted. At the same time, different authors detail, add or skip layers differently.
It so happened that the author of this blog belongs to another Tradition, for which similar views are not ‘generally accepted’.
Dear En, please tell me what a person who has already gone beyond traditional religion (while not rejecting it) should do since there are no maps for consciousness (which no longer relies on the traditional religious version of entering heaven) for what to do in the afterlife?
To seek/build one’s own system of views, one’s personal Myth.
Good evening! A question to satisfy my curiosity. I will try to be brief. At some point, I came across a show called ‘Battle of the Psychics’. One of the participants, a medium, summoned the soul of a deceased person and, while talking to him, conveyed the deceased’s wishes to his living relatives. Question: who was he communicating with, the etheric body, an imprint – a trace of the consciousness-soul, or someone else? Or is it all just a show and a deception of ordinary citizens?
Hello. Formally, all options are possible: it could have been a ‘ghost’ – ‘kush-ha guf’, that is, a decaying etheric body, it could have been an elementar – between incarnations, it could have been a deceitful entity (for example, an elemental or a rogue fairy), or it could just have been staging. What actually took place in the specific event you are describing is impossible to determine without an analysis of that particular event.
