Question: Is it true that it is possible to direct the soul of the deceased to those regions of multidimensional space that are called paradise? This is dealt with in the Tibetan Book of the Dead. There are also special techniques known in some Buddhist schools. They believe that it is possible to avoid hell in such a way.

Answer: No, all this is not true. After the death of the body, man “settles” in a certain spatial dimension not because he was brought there by someone or because he likes it there, but in accordance with quite a different principle. Man “settles” in that energetic plane to which he accustomed himself while living in the body.

Those who constantly live in coarse emotions, have paved a sure way to hell for themselves, regardless of the place and the person they will be guided by and of who and how will pray for them.

The one, who lived in sattva, gets to paradise.

And he who habituated himself to living in God, that is in one of the two highest spatial dimensions — that one finds oneself in God, becomes Him.

One can pass from subtler spatial dimensions into coarser ones. In this way the spirits residing on coarse planes are governed.

But it is impossible to enter subtle planes from gross ones. In The Secret Doctrine by E.P.Blavatskaya, this is expressed in terms of existence of the “no-trespass line”. But it should be understood in the light of knowledge about multidimensional space.
