The people of the times when these works were recorded did not accurately interpret the material. Independently, over time, they put into practice their interpretations of the material and constructed behaviors based on their interpretations. These were not always accurate or constructive. As Western Scientists, Archaeologists and Anthropologists uncovered some of these cultures practices, it was easy for them to discount the material contained in the works due to the practices of the cultures of which the works were representative.

Most people expect nothing and they find themselves in a gray, dreary land.
They have so much of the etheric still attached that they remain close to the physical. They cannot see that which is higher and that which is lower. Usually, we cannot see them. They wander for many earth years in this state, lost, forlorn, confused. Many cultures have examined the plight of these unfortunate spirits.
