  from ignorance, illusion & suffering due to covetousness & selfishness,
  and, after death, being born again into the flesh--for as many lifetimes
  as needed; the wicked will suffer for a time in one of hell's hundreds of
  purgatories according to one's wickedness, but eventually will be reborn,
  as for all other temporal realms, to once again work towards salvation--a
  state of being when one's self is annihilated into the timeless realm of
  nothingness after transcending the temporal realms; beings of a greater
  karmic deficit are reborn into either the realm of Animal Spirits or the 
  Satanic realm of Demons; those of neutral karma are reborn in the flesh;
  those of good karma, but tainted with combativeness, jealousy, rivalry
  or even compromise with a like-minded world, are reborn as Asuras into
  the Luciferian realm of devils; those of excellent karma, but given to
  pride, arrogance, anger, ignorance & other imperfections, as Suras into
  the angelic realm of saints; to die at age 80 after 45 years of teaching
