Note 23 — VI. THEOSOPHICAL TEACHINGS AS TO NATURE AND MAN.
Reading edition
Proserpina, or Persephone, stands here for post mortem Karma, which is said to regulate the separation of the lower from the higher “principles”: the Soul, as Nephesh, the breath of animal life, which remains for a time in Kama-loka, from the higher compound Ego, which goes into the state of Devachan, or bliss.
