“Enq: I understand. You say, then, that this true Ego cannot return to earth after death. But surely the actor is at liberty, if he has preserved the sense of his individuality, to return if he likes to the scene of his former actions?
Theo: We say not, simply because such a return to earth would be incompatible with any state of unalloyed bliss after death, as I am prepared to prove.
We say that man suffers so much unmerited misery during his life, through the fault of others with whom he is associated, or because of his environment, that he is surely entitled to perfect rest and quiet, if not bliss, before taking up again the burden of life.
However, we can discuss this in detail later.”
