WHAT HAPPENS AFTER WE DIE EXPLAINED BY WILLIAM JUDGE

William Judge was the most important instructor after Blavatsky, who spread the teaching of the Transhimalayan masters, and therefore it is well worth studying him.

The main explanations he gave about what happens after humans died, he put in his book "The Ocean of Theosophy", and what he wrote about it, I transcribed in these two articles:

·        Kama Loka (purgatory) explained by William Judge

·        The stay in devachan explained by William Judge

And in the rest of his work, he gave more details, which I have compiled in the following articles:

·        Suicide does not free you from suffering

·        What happens with babies that die?

·        What happens to people who die before time?

·        Are humans free from illusion after dying?

·        Are our beloved beings with us after we die?

·        Heaven, purgatory and hell explained by William Judge

·        Hell explained by William Judge

·        The kama-rupa explained by William Judge

·        Is our stay in heaven a loss of time?

·        Do we grow and age also in heaven?

·        Do animals also go to heaven?

·        Devachan (paradise) explained by William Judge

·        Devachan details mentioned by William Judge

·        The duration in devachan explained by William Judge

And I also recommend that you read these two articles that were published in his magazine The Path, written by two collaborators close to him:

·        The nature and purpose of Devachan by Joseph H. Fussell

·        Devachan by Bandusia Wakefield

And I also recommend you to read the explanations that William Judge gave about reincarnation, since it is a subject that is highly correlated with the post-mortem journey:

          (Later I will put it)

And to finish, I put below the explanation that William Judge gave about cremation:

When people asked him:

What effect, if any, does the cremation of the body have on the remaining material principles?

William Judge replied:

« Cremation has no direct effect on any of the sheaths or vehicles, but it must have the indirect effect of freeing the astral form from the influence of the material body and thus give the astral a chance to more quickly dissipate. It has much less effect on kama and the others above, and none on praṇa, for the latter is ever present, and in the case of death is simply at work somewhere else.

Material fire can have no effect directly on any sort of matter that is not on its own plane, and hence has no effect at all on manas or those above that. From a sanitary point of view cremation is of high importance, as it does away with injurious matter or matter in such a state as to be injurious to the living. »
