Here we must distinguish between the inhumane paradise and the humane paradise, which in turn can be expressed as the animal and the human paradise respectively. The animal paradise is that in which the animals experience their paradisiacal state after death. As these beings are unable to form a specific dream, their paradise will be a kind of spiritual experience of their physical state, but only in a visionary form. Furthermore the animals experience neither fear nor terror since neither human beings nor beasts of prey can hunt them here. They cannot starve or freeze either. Everything conforms to their desires and wishes. They live in a state that can be the very highest pleasure, happiness and well-being for them. Since they cannot have pangs of conscience or be in conflict with themselves, they cannot have any experience of purgatory other than the little sensory alteration that is necessary in order to release them from dark thoughts, unrest and terror. Their paradise existence or discarnation is therefore also relatively short. In the same area of paradise all human beings experience the realisation of any paradisiacal experience or dream existence they may have that is based on self-assurance, material ideals or ideals based more or less on killing, such as: meat-eating, hunting, fishing, avarice, heroic deeds as a war hero, boxer or wrestler, and all other dreams about being heroes, being millionaires, being film stars, being knights of some order, being titled, being a prince or the like. But the more common dreams, which constitute merely ordinary, daily phenomena in an idealised state, are also realised here on the spiritual plane. The dream existence or paradise of the great majority is in reality only the experience of imagined, present, ordinary, physical, material existences, but of course without all the troubles, unpleasantness and struggles that are otherwise inherent in these forms of existence when they are experienced on the physical plane. Here in paradise they can be experienced only exactly as their source wishes them. Here too the beings experience the paradisiacal states of the inhumane religions, which are based on the idealisation of the manifestation of the killing principle in the form of, for example, wars, massacres, human and animal sacrifices, and other inhumane phenomena as part of their worship of God.
