(Eg.) The second division of Amenti. The celestial field of Aanroo is encircled by
an iron wall. The field is covered with wheat, and the "Defunct"
are represented gleaning it, for the "Master of Eternity"; some
stalks being three, others five, and the highest seven cubits high.
Those who reached the last two numbers entered the state of bliss
(which is called in TheosophyDevachan); the disembodied spirits whose harvest
was but three cubits high went into lower regions
(Kamaloka).
Wheat was with the Egyptians the symbol of the Law of
Retribution or Karma. The cubits had reference to the seven,
five and three human "principles".
