The Books of the Dead



                         Both the Tibetan and Egyptian Books of the Dead Have the scenes where the good and evil deeds of a persons life are weighed on scales of judgment. The Tibetan book has a beautiful mandala of days where the realms of attachment are experienced and overcome. If a person fails to see the transcendent light, they are reincarnated back into the world of the wheel of death and rebirth. I don't know enough about the Egyptian B.O.D, but the Tibetan B.O.D. has the most beautiful and Meta Formally Logical "Enumerate Partitions" of the realms of attachment. 5 "SKANDAS" 5 elemental emotions. It's not: Anger, Denial, Bargaining, Fear and Acceptance, " Dr. Elizabeth Kubler Ross." But I think she must have studied the Tibetan B.O.D.

                         Through the time following a death, the spirit is addressed by a series of guiding prayers to see the soul past the visions of this world and the worlds of entanglement.

                                                     4.(Lust/ the hungry ghosts)

    3.(Pride/ the human realm)         1.(Elation/ the god realm)         5.(Envy/ the jealous god realm)

                                                     2.(Anger-Fear/ hell beings)
