>>3837602whatever the spirit truly is either gets sucked into negative spiritual energy (like tartarus, gehenna, enma i think, Hel, the Qlippoth), remains on the earth (reincarnation is probably this), or goes into the positive mass (heaven, valhalla, olympus, etc.). The positive mass will survive the end of the world, according to most spiritual belief systems I've seen, while the others are normally destroyed. The positive mass manifests physically, and the cycle begins anew, with one or two changes. This is a generalized amalgamation of all the beliefs I've seen so far.
The truth is, I have no idea, but the fact that people from around the world have "died" and come back with profound experiences, almost always involving some sort of light, is probably a clue.
Personally, the belief system I prefer to use is the Abrahamic one, that when you die, your soul goes to Sheol, the spirit plane. The fallen angels are scatterered throughout, and the demons get sentenced to spend their existence in tartarus until the end of the world, bound in chains of darkness. When Jesus comes in whatever form he takes, and the dead are restored, there'll be a war and then the banishment of the damned to Gehenna, the lake of fire, the destruction of the soul, the second death.
oh and a side note. Satan isn't the ruler of tartarus nor Gehenna. He's just a wandering being that tempts men. It's the humans that are to blame for their own sins.
