Kama Loka
Can be Hell, but not eternal
Theosophy rejects the idea of one
life to face the judgment of god or any other final reckoning so no after death
state can be permanent.
Kama Loka can
be very unpleasant depending on the life lived. This happens when a person has
built up enough low level astral material in his astral body to become trapped
on the corresponding sub plane of the astral plane.
Once the
astral matter has dissipated the individual is then released up to the next
level of the astral plane. The catch comes in the time it can take and not
knowing that it will come to an end.
All round
good people and the spiritually developed move up much more quickly sometimes
not noticing as they breeze through the lower astral planes.
Not eternal
damnation but not good
The astral plane
like all other planes of nature has seven levels. The lower levels of the
astral plane can be very unpleasant places and it is possible to be trapped
there for a very long time. Intense desires and emotional tendencies developed
in life are still there but cannot be satisfied. This includes desire for
alcohol, drugs, power and also hatred or anger.
There are
also some unsavoury discarnate entities that
permanently inhabit the lower astral subplanes and
are likely to torment any individual trapped there.
This state
can therefore be regarded as comparable to being in Hell but it is not eternal
and the individual will eventually rise out of it. It’s better to avoid it in
the first place though.
Rising
to one’s own level
If you
have led a reasonable life then you won’t have much, if any, lower astral
material and you can probably expect to rise to a middle level of the astral
planes. You stay there for a while on the same terms as those trapped lower
down but its not as unpleasant. This is probably comparable
to the concept of Purgatory.
The top
level of the astral plane is a much pleasanter place to be before moving on to
Devachan.
