learning that one must perform eight right ways of living to be liberated
from ignorance, illusion & suffering due to covetousness & selfishness,
and, after death, being born again into the flesh--for as many lifetimes
as needed; the wicked will suffer for a time in one of hell's hundreds of
purgatories according to one's wickedness, but eventually will be reborn,
as for all other temporal realms, to once again work towards salvation--a
state of being when one's self is annihilated into the timeless realm of
nothingness after transcending the temporal realms; beings of a greater
karmic deficit are reborn into either the realm of Animal Spirits or the
Satanic realm of Demons; those of neutral karma are reborn in the flesh;
those of good karma, but tainted with combativeness, jealousy, rivalry
or even compromise with a like-minded world, are reborn as Asuras into
the Luciferian realm of devils; those of excellent karma, but given to
pride, arrogance, anger, ignorance & other imperfections, as Suras into
the angelic realm of saints; to die at age 80 after 45 years of teaching
[Pali tradition; Puranas.]
