How do you arrive in the new world?

We arrive in the next life in exactly the same state of mind as that in which we passed over—in a confused state, in a clear state, in a clouded state, in a demented state—

Or in any other state in which we happen to be at the moment of our departure.

However, we soon recover our natural and healthful state of mind and are once more contented and happy.

An illness may extend beyond the grave for a period upward of sixty days, but the usual period is about thirty days. In many cases, it consists of nothing, but a profound sleep.

We are all met at the gateway of this new life, escorted beyond the boundary, and are given such care as is necessary to our recovery.

Blessed are those who suffer no illness, nor confusion in passing over, but who enter this new world in a perfectly clear and happy state of mind.
