Предощущения темных миров
Иоанн,
A man by the name of Howard Storm claimed to have been informed by higher beings about what happens to a good person after they die: «They said that when a loving person dies, angels come down to meet him, and they take him up – gradually, at first, because it would be unbearable for that person to be instantly exposed to God.» https://near-death.com/howard-storm/
According to modern near death experiences (NDE)/out-of-body experiences, a person undergoes a life review of sorts. I don't believe that it's conducted by angels/keepers of darkness. In a purported gnostic work I found an interesting fragment: http://gnosis.org/naghamm/asclep.html
«There is a great daimon. The great God has appointed him to be overseer or judge over the souls of men. And God has placed him in the middle of the air, between earth and heaven. Now when the soul comes forth from (the) body, it is necessary that it meet this daimon. Immediately, he (the daimon) will surround this one, and he will examine him in regard to the character that he has developed in his life.»
Perhaps this was one of the «Great Elementals» called Pluto/Hades? Kate told me about how her father attempted to astral project (while still alive) beyond the boundaries of the astral world in order to meet with his deceased parents:
«He flew up as far as he could, even though he felt the tug of his body he kept going up as far as he could with an unwavering momentum. When suddenly he heard a roaring loud thunderous voice that said “NOOO” and as if a huge force or a hand pushed him back he flew backwards slamming so hard into his body that his physical body hurt. From that day on he could never astral travel again.»
The text later goes on to describe what seems to be the angels of darkness: «they are the ones who are called 'stranglers', and those who roll souls down on the dirt, and those who scourge them, and those who cast into the water, and those who cast into the fire, and those who bring about the pains and calamities of men.» (corroborated by Porphyry. The ancients distinguished between good and evil inspirational daimons.)
Quran 79:1-3 «By those angels stripping out evil souls harshly, and those [angels] pulling out good souls gently, and those gliding through heavens swiftly,»
A person does not immediately find themselves in Olirna — except in the cases of tortured martyrs/saints/prophets, they have a much easier time leaving their mangled corpse while alive.
«At ten o'clock, her sister saw a tall bright form enter the chamber, and, at the same instant, the dying woman uttered a loud cry of joy; her spirit seemed then to be set free. After a short interval, her soul also departed, leaving behind it a totally irrecognizable husk—not a single trace of her former features remaining.»
When the shelt with all its coatings, including the etheric body, abandons the physical body–the last, outermost, and shortest-lived of its vessels–nothing but a corpse remains in Enrof.
First the etheric body must be severed from the organism, then the astral body is released. Scientists will demonstrate this in the coming decades and provide proof for the afterlife.
Here's an interesting story an user shared about seeing from the perspective of a dead person during a meditation:
She distinguished the «spirit realm» from the spirit plane (astral world), saying it had a day and night cycle, which seems to correspond with Daniil Andreev's insight into the zatomis and worlds of nature spirits:
«The darker does not have a day and night cycle particularly, the light does not penetrate the atmosphere. It is nearly pitch black in the darker.» «The spirit realm has a day and night cycle, which is different from the shadow plane, which practically does not. (The sunlight does not touch the surfaces in the shadow plane).»
The alternation of night and day takes place on the layers in the exact same manner as here, resulting as it does from the identical rotation of the planet on its axis.
Is this certain? I believe it'd be worth re-examining his book.

Yes, that's a prevalent misconception. A person does not suddenly become a saint because they died, they behave the same as they were in life. They gain no knowledge other than what they brought with them except from contact with the recently departed, partly from conversing with clairvoyants.
A person does not immediately find themselves in Olirna — except in the cases of tortured martyrs/saints/prophets, they have a much easier time leaving their mangled corpse while alive.
This is true, and what's more, the soul/shelt, astral body, and monad do not even leave the body upon death. The guardian angel must step in to release them. A person remains conscious of what is being said around them while trapped in their corpse. Justinus Kerner gives account of Friederike Hauffe's death:
«At ten o'clock, her sister saw a tall bright form enter the chamber, and, at the same instant, the dying woman uttered a loud cry of joy; her spirit seemed then to be set free. After a short interval, her soul also departed, leaving behind it a totally irrecognizable husk—not a single trace of her former features remaining.»

Here's an interesting story an user shared about seeing from the perspective of a dead person during a meditation:
I brought this to my friend Kate's attention, she seems to have interpreted it differently from me; to her, this was corroboration for the «spirit realm» she depicted in her drawings. She replied with «I believe you may have been in the spirit realm. Because you were not in control. Living a life of someone else or experience. Some spirits will relive experiences in the spirit realm, where they lived in life, even entire towns can pop up and only be occupied by one spirit. Reliving over and over, some had broken out from it and can seem to almost live there.»
She distinguished the «spirit realm» from the spirit plane (astral world), saying it had a day and night cycle, which seems to correspond with Daniil Andreev's insight into the zatomis and worlds of nature spirits:
«The darker does not have a day and night cycle particularly, the light does not penetrate the atmosphere. It is nearly pitch black in the darker.» «The spirit realm has a day and night cycle, which is different from the shadow plane, which practically does not. (The sunlight does not touch the surfaces in the shadow plane).»
The alternation of night and day takes place on the layers in the exact same manner as here, resulting as it does from the identical rotation of the planet on its axis.
This is also not the only attachment they may form. There's also people who formed strong relationships with/magnetic attraction to a person, who is still alive or is grieving for them, which detains them from passing on and it may draw them back down to the earth. Justinus Kerner describes how Hauffe was unable to undergo death, «Once, when she appeared dead, some one having uttered my name, she started into life again, and seemed unable to die—the magnetic relation between us being not yet broken.» Elijah and Elisha come to mind.
