This is not hell, it is nothing like hell. It is more like the Hall of Memories in the astral world. You may have a silver teapot. With a bit of use that silver teapot will have got tannin stains inside, and a few marks outside. Well, if you think of selling the thing, or giving it away for a wedding present, you take steps to remove the dirt. In the same way, when some human or animal leaves this world there is a very short stay in ‘purgatory’ where the soul, or Overself, sees the mistakes committed in the life just ended, and there are some astral faces which go very red on such occasions! This purgatory is not a punishment centre, it is not the local jail, it is not hell, and there are no devils who gleefully prod you with red-hot toasting forks. Purgatory is merely a place where you shed some of your conceit, some of your illusions. and where you face up to the fact that although on Earth you had loads of money, etc., and people were afraid of you, here it is quite different, you did not bring your money with you. There is nothing to be afraid of in purgatory. It is quite a pleasant experience, really, to get rid of the dross picked up by living on Earth.
