Theosophy on Death by William Q Judge
William Q Judge argues theosophy presents a sevenfold human constitution with soul as inner matter not supernatural. Death is a transition to astral realms ahead of rebirth, and heaven or hell are not literal states but states of consciousness. He contrasts Christian and Hindu views, urging a scientific understanding of life after death.
