I heard this before by a magick youtuber i used to watch, is it true that in a world in which magick is correct, the afterlife would basically be whatever the individual believed it would be thru out his life

Is that true?

I think it's not what we want until we realize we don't want to suffer anymore

What does that mean?

The death of all things would be also the unity of all things.

The absence of a world with death is essentially heaven

I don't see how any of this answers my question about the afterlife in magick, and its relevance to our beliefs in the material world

Because I think the only thing that's real is consciousness. Who we are now is not who we always were, even in our own lifetimes or in terms of an afterlife

Our cells constantly replace themselves. In my opinion who we are now is a lie, we'll be someone else later or we'll perpetually relive it.

My views of mortality are closer to Buddhist and Egyptian than traditionally Jewish or Christian

I also don't think you can get to heaven with desire because it's the seed of suffering.

I guess the Jews appropriated the concept of a three part soul from the egyptians. (Ka, ba and akh)

>>Three Parts
>>The soul consists of three parts which are called by the Hebrew names, nefesh, ruach and neshama.

I never wrapped my head around magick, could you link me some sites/books for introduction?

Sure. I'll start you off with the basics.

William Cooper did a pretty decent job learning about the mystery school as an outsider

Ill read it in a bit

but until then, does magick give a direct outlining of what the afterlife is like?

Generally if it's based on nondualism... no: reincarnation potentially, or unity with the source of creation through death.

Magickal philosophy is almost entirely left hand path though

Hermeticism is debatably right handed, but the way it's practiced really depends on the individual

- Should the book of Maccabees / The Apocrypha be considers biblical?

Yes

I would say no, many verses seem borderline heretical

Yes

Such as burning a heart liver and gull of a fish to repel the devil
