We Were Gods: Oleander: Book One

Days go by; Passages Come and Go

April

I.

'There are multiple ways for death to reach a being but no matter what the soul will always end up in one of three ways. 1. Living out their heaven. 2. In the spirit/shadow world. 3. Living a new life. Sometimes a mortal falls in love with a God and things become complicated. When this happens, the God may offer their love the opportunity to live with them in their realm. Anubis has been known to offer the people he loves the most a chance to live with him in his tombs until they decide to start life all over again.

In some cases, when the heart weighs more than Ma'at's feather, a soul has to serve a sentence. A sentence can range anywhere from a few minutes all the way up to five lifetimes. 25 years is considered a lifetime sentence because time in hell works differently. See the example below;

Being A has done some bad things so they need to serve SOME years in their own hell as judged by God B. Being A is given the two options: 1. To stay in the spirit realm until they have decided to go onto a new life. 2. They may move on to a new life right away with no time spent in the spirit realm. If Being A chooses the first option they will have to serve one to three years of their own hell depending on how long they stay in the spirit realm for. If they choose option two, they must serve five years of their own hell.'

II.

'Hell is different for everyone and the severity of it is dependent on how the judged spent their life. For someone who killed innocent people, they may be killed repeatedly by loved ones, abused again and again by someone they hate, or they may be forced to watch those they care about murdered. Keep in mind that the mind is a very creative and powerful tool, and it will, often times, not allow the punished to live out the exact same scenario. If they have a fear of drowning they could be forced to drown again and again in a variety of ways.'

III.

'One can always object to a Goddess or God's findings. If they believe the judgment has been made in error, they may call for their guardian angel to prepare a trial. During this time the soul can return to the mortal realm, but nobody will be given.'

IV.

'Once a trial is given one of two things will happen. 1. The trial is won by the judged and they will be allowed to go onto an ending of their choosing based on the winning. 2. The judged lose and their trial time will be subtracted from their sentence. A trial's time begins the instant one is called for. i.e. Judged C calls for a trial when they received a reading at 01:30:05 on May 28th, 2020 and the trial is not over until 10:27:29 on August 27th, 2021 then a total of 1 year, 4 months, 30 days, 8 hours, 57 minutes, and 24 seconds will be subtracted from their sentencing.'

V.

'The heart will be returned to the body as long as it has not been decided to be eaten. For the most part, we now frown upon the eating of hearts. But for those Gods or Goddesses* that believed the judged has wronged them or someone they love, they have been allowed the opportunity to eat the heart.

*By law, every document is now supposed to include 'Goddess(es)' when 'God' is used as stated by court ruling; Artemis V. The Court.'

VI.

'Many religions have something close to a guardian angel included in their beliefs. Most beings either gain one, or are born with them. A guardian angel watches out for their being and will attempt to deter them from bad things; they can also be called a "conscience." In the legal system, they work a lot like lawyers. They have seen most of the things that have been done and can explain to the court system why the judged has done what they've done and why it should not be held against them in a negative light. For those that are not religious or do not have a conscience, one will be picked out for them at random. These angels will be able to see into everything that they have done and they will receive time to get to know one another before the trial.'

VII.

'In a being's personal heaven all items that were on the body at the time of death will carry over in 3-5 business days. Anything buried with the body will take longer, up to two weeks.'

VIII.

'Even if the judged is not religious, they can still receive their own heaven. It will be a dream life after death. It is easier for the systems to use the word 'heaven' but it can be replaced with anything to make the judged feel more comfortable. Sometimes having everything they want bores a person and so they will decide to go on to another life.'

August

IX.

'Hearts do one of two things; they whisper or they scream. Hearts cannot hide like humans do. The hearts that have been through a lot and have a story to tell will scream at a God and they will spill out their entire story if it means healing for them. A whispering heart is a loved one. They do not need to scream because they have all the love and support needed to get their story out in the open but they can still use a little help and guidance from a God.'

X.

'Anubis, this is a special note put in this book just for you. Please, stop reminding people that donations can be made to Gods and Goddesses. It is rude and unnecessary. Please stop reminding them that offerings are not generally processed until 3-5 business days for small things and up to two weeks for larger things. At their time of death they have enough going on and do not need to worry about 'tipping' their death God.'
