Samsara

At a vessel's death, the Soul is sent to an endless Field called The Horizon. Upon death, the Spirit sees a tree in the distance of the Field which beckons for the Soul. This Field is inescapable unless the tree receives a Soul. Once the tree is reached, the Soul is allowed a choice and is sent to either Heaven or Hell. This state of in-between later became called Hamistagan or Limbo by the people of Life. Souls that wished to continue their existence in Eternity, would remain in Heaven as Angels. Those that wished to return to Life would be sent to Hell in an effort to eventually be Reincarnated into a new vessel though stripped of all memories. These Aeons became known as Demons.

The Demonic philosophy retains the Beauty of the Monad. The Angels opted to live in Eternity under the Will of the Monad. The Angels began to take pity and look down on the Demons despite that both worshipped by devotion and loyalty to the One. The Demons simply loved the Diamond Realm and longed to return to it. Demons retained their beautiful Aeonic qualities but would eventually lose them. Those that became impatient and attempted to escape, were punished by having their form twisted and disturbed. For this reason, some Angels were charged with keeping order in Eternity which did nothing of their unfavorable view towards Demons.

The three planes of Eternal existence became known as The Trailokya.

The mortal vessels in Life began to refer to the Womb Realm as the Afterlife, having forgotten that Eternity is where they originally came from. In addition, Souls in Life whose vessels had died but unwilling or unable to continue with Samsara would become stagnant Ghosts and Spectres, and would not be granted a new vessel until they returned. Very rarely, these beings were capable of possessing weak or dying vessels but would misshape them into supernatural creatures.
