“Since the Industrial Revolution, we’ve treated our world like it was a hotel room and we were rock stars. But we aren’t rock stars.

“The bordos and the Six Realms are the testing grounds for the mind of the deceased. It gives the consciousness that has been liberated from the physical body another chance to realize its essential nature. If this realization does not occur, the consciousness will resume its journey through the bardos.
