The anarastic view holds that there are three worlds; the physical world, the spirit world, and source. The physical world is the world of the living. The spirit world is the world of ghosts. Source is the world of gods. The worlds overlap and influence each other but one does not necessarily correspond directly to the other. There is play in the system like how a loop in a chain can pull on the next one when in tension but wiggle freely when not.
A soul cycles back and forth between life and death until they reach their final form where they return to source and obtain either oblivion or apotheosis. Oblivion is release. Apotheosis is ascension to godhood. When this happens, and which path one takes, depends on the state they are in when they reach the end of their karma.
On the Nature of the World
The world is full of fools and cowards who seek to control and to hoard out of fear. Often the cowards speak of love, and truth, and righteousness but you know by their deeds and their predilections the true nature of their depravity. They accuse others of their own crimes but truth always comes out in time. How many so-called holy men have spoken out against the least in their ignorance and arrogance only to be found to be themselves preying on the weak like vampires? To call them evil is a disservice, for the word is insufficient to the severity of the crime. There are none worse than those who use religion to victimize the least. It is not the least that carry out evil, it is the most. Evil and power are constant bedfellows, be weary of them. Destroy them at all costs for everyone’s sake.
—Anarast 6:1-9
On Spirit and the Things Unseen
All beings are ensouled and all nature is enspirited. Things which are not nature when imbued with power too can become ensouled or enspirited. To deny this is foolish. The spirits rule reality with an iron chain; there is play in the system. The forces of nature are too a form of spirit, vibrating in the chorus of infinity. Minds can interact with spirit and spirits mind. Fate is a spirit under the force of mind. The bonds of fate are broken only under the force of a great will. Love is the reception of the will. These things are ever as they were. Aellos holds these bonds as ever in an unchanging infinity.
—Anarast 6:32-42
