There are times I might questioning parts of the points inside the book doesn't mean I don't believe it. I need enlightenment on the doubts that I raise.

TOURING 10TH TRIBUNAL
VISITING MORALITY CENTRE
BUREAU OF REWARD GOOD SOULS
BUREAU OF PUNISHING THE EVIL

Morality Centre

Teaching and training future deities and saints to be sent to Earth.

For those souls that had merits but not enough merits to justify their souls to ascend to Heaven after death. After the souls gone through required training, they had options:-
1) straight to Heaven
2) sent to Earth as deities and saints to save human beings

Training:
Studying moral lessons. Examined periodically to test the effects and influence of wealth, of beautiful woman, after attaining wealth and desirability to help others.

Only if the heart can remain steady, can be tests be passed.

The tests arranged by fairies.

If fail the tests, have to undergo further training.

Bureau of reward good souls

The souls attended by Good Spirits and appear moving freely without being chained or handcuffed.

For souls that have more merits than demerits and await assessments. The souls are free, have unrestricted movement, can eat and drink, can have discussion among themselves, can play chess.

Bureau of punishing the evil

All souls are handcuffed and escorted by Underworld's guards. For souls who committed sins which were against relationship of human beings. The inner spirit inside a person, or roving day and night spirits, will make records of any misdeeds or sins a person commits daily and report to Underworld.

If the sins are serious, this office will absorb the personal spirit of the evil doer to Underworld for punishment. The body of the person will feel sick, headache, giddiness, uncomfortable, not realising that his soul is being punished in Underworld. After serving punishment, the soul is released and then re-enters his human body, then all sickness disappears.

In some cases, the handcuffed souls are those souls still living in Earth.

Another duty is - the soul after dies, is sent here for punishment while awaiting results of investigation of all Tribunals in Underworld, after that the soul will be sent to the various Tribunals for further punishment.

This office called 'temporarily lock up'.
