THE AFTERLIFE

TERMINAL

is where all souls must cycle through in order to be judged for placement in the next phase of their existence. In order to move forward the souls need to shed their material world connections and form to reveal their soul energy. Each level in the terminal is meant as a means to help the new souls come to terms and accept what has happened.

GUIDE ACQUISITION

A soul first begins by acquiring a guide to help them understand what is happening. The tower instinctively recognizes the new arrival and brings a guide for the new soul. That guide is the soul of a loved one that has already passed through the terminal themselves. In the space there are material platform towers which harness the power of an unknown source to re-materialize the guide in their original material form and allows the new soul the chance to see, hug, and embrace that one person they wish they had more time with in the material world.

HALL OF SORROWS

Once the soul is ready to move forward, with their guide, they enter the hall of sorrows. A level which purpose is to help the soul say one final goodbye to their loved ones still in the material world. Portals can be seen when entering the space which display images of the new souls loved ones still in the material world. Once a souls is ready to say goodbye they need to enter the portal and are transported in the form of a ghost into the material world for their final goodbyes. When the soul is done they exit the portal and move forward but notice their material form is beginning to fracture as they begin to let go.

LIBRARY OF ALL KNOWLEDGE

Now that the soul has said goodbye, their guide explains to them the library of all knowledge. This terminal sits out of time and space and therefore history past, present, and future can be seen as a tapestry that can be scrolled. All a soul needs to do is enter a node, which harnesses the power of the unknown source, and powers the node. The nodes is triggered by the thought of the soul and once inside the soul is transported to events, places, and people which help to get to the answer of their question. They soul is transported to different times in material form history, in the form of a ghost, seeing all events occur simultaneously. Once all questions have been answered the souls material form is slowly disappearing but not altogether gone.

ACCEPTANCE GARDEN

Now the soul has moved to the final level. They turn to their guide and ask what the activity is in this space to which there is none. Their guide explains that it is up to them to cross over and be judged by the shimmering light at the peak which powers the whole terminal. With a final goodbye the soul watches as their guide sheds their material form to reveal their brilliant shimmering soul inside. Unafraid to disappear in the shimmering light that powers everything. Once the soul is ready to let go entirely their material soul falls apart entirely and reveals their own shimmering soul. As they continue closer to the shimmering light they hear the singing of each soul completing their own individual journey and go to a place that is unknown.
