[continued]

Purgatory, like Hell,* is an essential part of the development of the Soul towards God: it must be gone through before or after Death, in this case before the 1st Death {([the death] of the Body)}or after the Second Death (**[the death ]of the Self**) (not between them, I think).

****The spirit carries the unstained unselfish (part of the Soul back down around the Inner Circle in order to refine it for fusion with God: this process is meant to be done before the 1^st Death, but can be done after the Second Death.

Before the 1^st Death, I guess (but do not know) that it has to do with re-entry into the {(full)} Diversity of the Separated World, the inner aspect of that Separation of which the outer aspect is Hell: but reversing the former transit of Distraction. It may be that the Catholic notion of 'Good Works' is appropriate to Diversity; how this is paralleled after the 1^st and 2^nd Deaths, by Spirit-borne Souls, is beyond me, but it might be as simple as the performance of Angelic functions among those still living corporeally in the Distraction (it is a common tradition that recently dead ancestors have influence over# living Men).

****?Or is Purgatory the G~ – R~ – +C [presumably I~] process? – more likely. <891001>
