Five Realms of Existence
#3 - The Spiritual Realm
The third is for the world of Spirits, beings of all types without form--the Spiritual Realm. Also known as the Underworld, it is the path that all Souls must follow before their next journey.
In this Realm, the karmas of all past lives return to determine the judgment upon a Soul. By deeds alone, a Soul can ascend to become a God or return to be reincarnated if there are still wishes unfulfilled. Otherwise, it is punished for committing unforgivable crimes.
This is a world for Spirits, and most live here for hundreds of years before they are summoned to be judged.
In this Realm, the Lord of the Underworld sees all and controls all. All who enter, evil or good, are subjected to the Lord's reign.
