of bliss". Kâmaloka

Is an astral locality, the Limbus of scholastic theology, the
Hades of the ancients, and, strictly speaking, a _locality_
only in a relative sense. It has neither a definite area, nor
boundary, but exists _within_ subjective space, _i.e._, is
beyond our sensuous perceptions. Still it exists, and it is
there that the astral _eidolons_ of all the beings that have
lived, animals included, await their _second death_. For the
animals it comes with the disintegration and the entire
fading out of their astral particles to the last. For the
human _eidolon_ it begins when the Atmâ-Buddhi-Mânasic Triad
is said to "separate" itself from its lower principles or the
reflection of the ex-personality, by falling into the
Devachanic state.[21]

This second death is the passage, then, of the Immortal Triad from the
kâmalokic sphere, so closely related to the earth sphere, into the
higher state of Devachan, of which we must speak later. The type of
man we are considering passes through this, in the peaceful dreamy
state already described, and, if left undisturbed, will not regain
full consciousness until these stages are passed through, and peace
gives way to bliss.

But during the whole period that the four principles--the Immortal
Triad and Kâma--remain in Kâmaloka, whether the period be long or
short, days or centuries, they are within the reach of the
earth-influences. In the case of such a person as we have been
describing, an awakening may be caused by the passionate sorrow and
desires of friends left on earth, and these violently vibrating kâmic
