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)
