Questions about death are not answered well by most religions, by science, or by other exoteric teachings. For some people, the approach of death or the death of a loved one is the beginning of a search for better information. The best information on the subject is offered by Esoteric teachings such as that of Theosophy, Alice A. Bailey, or Henry Laurency. Theosophist Charles Leadbeater says, regarding death: "It is impossible for us to calculate the vast amount of utterly unnecessary sorrow and terror and misery which mankind in the aggregate has suffered simply from its ignorance and superstition with regard to this one most important matter." I will review the teachings that have been provided as to the actual process of the termination of an incarnation. I will also review the Esoteric teachings on existence between incarnations, something else to look forward to rather than to fear.
