If I read Levi correctly and followed this thread correctly, once dead, the soul is gone and we can only: - access reflections in the astral light - interact with an astral corpse (until it dissolves) - interact with "larvae" or other entities that, at best, are very corrosive to us on the material plane.
In her "Through the Gates of Death", Dion Fortune states (Chapter 11) "When we call back the spirits of the departed to tell us of their experiences in the Heaven world.."
This heaven period has to happen after the first stop in the purgatory dream state and my understanding is that the soul would have to leave the astral corpse first before entering purgatory then the heaven state.
Is this a difference between Fortune's and Levi's understanding of the afterlife?
