Devachan

By Alfred Percy Sinnett

Book Overview

Devachan is a book written by A. P. Sinnett, which explores the concept of the afterlife in Eastern religions. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the nature of the afterlife and the second part exploring the experiences of those who have passed on. In the first part, Sinnett discusses the concept of Devachan, which is the state of blissful consciousness that individuals experience after death. He describes this state as a kind of dreamlike existence where individuals are able to experience their deepest desires and fulfill their spiritual aspirations. Sinnett also explores the idea of reincarnation and how it relates to the afterlife, arguing that the experiences of the afterlife are linked to the individual's past lives and karmic patterns. In the second part of the book, Sinnett provides a series of case studies of individuals who have passed on and their experiences in Devachan. He describes the different levels of consciousness that individuals can experience in this state and how these levels are related to their spiritual development. He also explores the idea of spiritual evolution and how it relates to the afterlife, arguing that individuals can continue to grow and develop even after they have passed on. Overall, Devachan is a thought-provoking exploration of the afterlife and its relationship to spiritual development. It offers a unique perspective on the nature of consciousness and the possibilities for spiritual growth beyond this life.THIS 34 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Esoteric Buddhism, by A. P.
