Given Easter just occurred, I spent some time meditating on Christ's Harrowing of Hell. According to Church teachings, as he progressed through Sheol/Hades, he rescued trapped righteous souls all the way back to Adam and Eve, allowing for them and future dead to proceed to Heaven directly post expiration.
Q- Would the following interpretation be in line with a western occultist view?
A) Jesus was able to establish a sort of astral "track in space" where devotees could go to post death as they go through the normal death process etc. B) Given time/space is more a structure of consciousness, this action from our perspective might also look like it extended backwards into the past as much as the future. C) That this action was possible given Jesus was a magical adept with a completed mental sheath and retained his sense of self post death. Not to mention his potential linkage/connection to a deity acting through him.
