Death and After

About this book

For Annie Besant, death begins another stage of experience. The newly departed pass first through a world connected with desire, then toward a brighter condition shaped by the most generous experiences of earthly life.

This short Theosophical manual introduces Kamaloka, the post-mortem region of emotional attachment, and Devachan, a state of inward happiness and assimilation. Besant also discusses ghosts and supposed messages from the dead, explaining where her tradition differs from Spiritualism. Together, these ideas form a detailed account of what she believed happens between lives.
