Betty's Grandma (BG) was 92 years old. One day, she coughed, then developed bronchitis. She knew that the time was near for her to 'go'. Her 'third-eye' on her forehead started to open, and she could see 2 familiar faces of bygone relatives peeping in through the window. She said 'Hi' to them.
By and by, after another 2 days, she breathed her last. Her soul left her body and hovered above the deathbed for a while.
By and by, there was a tunnel before her and she could see bright light at the other end. She drifted to the other end of the tunnel and a Warm- Voice greeted her.
"Welcome back to the NormalRealm soul-being number 135abc. You have been in the PhysicalRealm for 92 years. Now here are 10 doors. You will enter one of them."
BG looked. Sure enough there were 10 doors. One was marked "Christian", another "Taoist", another "Buddhist", another "Muslim", another "Freethinker", etc, etc.
BG asked the Warm-Voice "I am not sure whether I am Taoist or Buddhist. While on earth, I visited both Taoist and Buddhist temples! In fact, I don't know which is which."
The Warm-Voice laughed. "Hiyah, they are almost the same. From my records, you went to Taoist temples mostly. So you should go to the Taoist-door".
"If I go in, will you let me come back out again? You see, I am supposed to re-visit my people in the PhysicalRealm on the 21st day and on the 49th day, and every year during QingMing Festival."
"Don't worry." said the Warm-Voice. "You will be subjected to the Taoist- Procedures if you go into the Taoist-door."
BG said "But some of my relatives are not Taoist. Some are Buddhists, some are Christians. Once I enter the Taoist-door, will I see them again?"
The Warm-Voice replied "Hey, this is not the PhysicalRealm, you are in the NormalRealm. It is no longer physical. Sure you can see every soul in this Realm. The 10 Doors lead to 10 different continents in the NormalRealm."
At this time, another soul-being appeared and queued up behind her. The Warm-Voice greeted the new soul-being in the same manner.
BG moved towards the Taoist-door. She mumbled to herself "Looks like there is one door for each religion. How come the NormalRealm is duplicating what on earth ?? Impossible. Impossible!"
