Translations:Astral plane/3/en

The astral plane includes what the Catholic Church has called purgatory and hell. It has 33 levels in descending order of density. Souls who make the transition and have remaining debts of karma are often required to spend some time on the astral plane in order to pay their debts to life by experiencing some portion of the pain they have caused. Following this, many reembody to take up the balancing of karma in the physical octave.
