The being's old age causes it to experience death as a glorious divine liberation from a physical organism that has become feeble and more or less inept as an instrument for experiencing physical life. For a being with an organism wrought by incurable disease and suffering, death or liberation from this organism comes likewise as a very great divine blessing. Death is also a great divine blessing for those beings whose organisms have been fatally injured in accidents. This liberation will, in all situations, mean a complete liberation from physical pain. It is true that from a mental point of view there can be a slight process of purgatory for those beings that die suddenly in accidents. The consciousness of such beings is focussed on plans for the future and life experiences on the physical plane, which they are now abruptly prevented from experiencing. This can of course give rise to disappointment and sorrow. But here too the beings quickly focus on seeking help in their distress, and in so doing they are immediately placed under the care of guardian angels and are liberated from everything that can be felt as physical darkness in their consciousness. After this they can then experience what appears to their faculty of perception as paradise.
