We gradually free ourselves from this connection. Indeed, we no longer have a physical body after death. Yet, when the physical and etheric bodies have been laid aside, our astral body still possesses all the peculiarities it had on earth, and these peculiarities of the astral body, which is acquired because it lived in a physical body, also have to be laid aside. This requires a certain time and that marks the period of kamaloca. The kamaloca period is followed by experiences in the spiritual world or devachan. In our writings it has been characterized more from the aspect of what man experiences through the different elements spread out around him. We shall now consider the period between death and a new birth from another side. Let us begin with a general survey.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"7.

Dazu braucht er eine gewisse Zeit, und das ist die Kamalokazeit. Nach dieser Kamalokazeit durchlebt er dasjenige, was wir die geistige Welt oder das Devachan genannt haben.
