CHAPTER II
DETACHMENT

…Just as Elisabeth Kubler-Ross has defined the stages of dying that precede death, there are also stages that come after the moment of death. One does not attain the wisdom of "the beyond" by simply having left the body. A long period of adjustment to this new condition will be necessary. After separation of the two perishable bodies, one finds oneself in the same basic state of consciousness and evolution as just before death. The individual retains his or her desires and beliefs, interests and prejudices, as well as mistaken ideas and religious distortions.

…The following is what the masters have to say in regard to the separation of those who experienced worldly power and fame:

Power and fame are two of the greatest obstacles to overcome because those who have enjoyed them only to die at the pinnacle of their domination, believe they have lost everything, and they despair at their inability to continue commanding and manipulating others.
        
When such individuals arrive in the astral wrapped in despair at having lost their power, they listen to no one. Time must pass. Gradually, they are forgotten on earth and supplanted by another powerbroker. Only then do such souls come out of their denial, for now  they see what happens to power and fame once we die. Usually, the main issue in these cases is that such beings do not believe in the existence of life after death. Though they may acknowledge that they are still alive, the darkness in which they find themselves seems to reaffirm the belief that death is darkness and nothingness.
        
How many beings find themselves in these conditions? A great many, and they need the prayers of those still on earth, as prayer energy can help free them from the pull of earthly vibrations.
        
Even after a soul’s liberation from the lower astral plane and its arrival in the spiritual realm, it can continue to be influenced by its memories of earthly glory.
        
Returning to the physical world after having experienced fame is not easy; one must first experience being a “nobody.” This takes a great deal of courage, which is not acquired quickly, especially when worldly fame continues, or even increases, after death. Take, for instance, a famous musician whose music continues to be heard after his death. The vibration of humanity’s admiration continues to reach that musician and feed his ego, despite his removal to the world of spirit and his having understood certain things. He may continue to have an appetite for success. This can be a strong feeling and not at all easy to overcome. Nonetheless, the desire to move forward is there, as well and may prove stronger than the desire for more human glory.
        
Sometimes a soul such as this decides to return to earth in order to learn humility. He or she needs to experience extremely precarious conditions, maybe reincarnating as someone with very limited intelligence or financial resources, so that he or she can never truly flourish. This occurs when the call of the Supreme Being is stronger than the soul’s memories of success.

People who spend their lives controlling those around them tend to suffer greatly after death, as they can no longer continue dominating others. The problem with many powerful men is that they continue to try to impose their will from the astral plane, which keeps them from ascending.
