All your dead thoughts come crowding round.

At death, you join that set of people to which you naturally belong―those who hold the same sort of belief or non-belief.  

It saves a lot of time if you believe that you live after death.

You are instructed in what you are lacking, and when that lack has been made good, you move on to the next set.

Telepathy links the world of spirits to earth.  

It is the outer edge of those faculties, which spirit-lives have to develop in the spirit-world. 

Speech does not exist with them.

You cannot tell lies or be deceived, for every thought exists of itself, and all can be seen.

Your punishment is largely this―

All your evil deeds and thoughts rise up before you in as real a shape as you yourself possess. 

They are there with all the surrounding impedimenta.

I should add that it is rather like a hideous nightmare―

All your dead thoughts come crowding round.  

You progress as you learn and things become easier.  

As your fresh thoughts are of a nobler nature than your thinking on earth, these refresh and enable you to bear more easily the grief you feel for your former faults.
