We have always been told to live life diligently.
But why?
Because our soul exists parallelly in the obscure point in reality called the seven heavens also known to mankind as Purgatory.
Each one of us lives simultaneously in this placid state in harmony with our and our neighbours’ souls.
The working is simple. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not self-seeking or easily annoyed. The purer love you live with on earth the smaller your chamber is, the lesser trials you have to face, floating your soul higher and closer to the gateway of heaven.
And once your life on earth ends, your afterlife existence in Purgatory is set in motion. Here you undergo 7 trials, trials of greed, temptation, remorse, diligence, perseverance, patience and judgement. After which you reach the ultimate destination of either heaven or hell.
Project Type:
Purgatory being the last chance of the undeserving human race is designed here as a series of 7 trials which will test our core values of our being.
- THE FALL: The one that kneels before wealth ready to sacrifise everyrthing for their greed will fall…into hell.
- THE FRUIT: A redo at mankinds first sin : the fruit of the garden of eden.
- WALK OF MEMORY: As you walk along the trial you are tied up by your own guilt, reminding you of everything you did in your earthly life.
- TRIAL OF DELIGENCE: Persistence and earnesty are tested here as you push the wheel of mobility.
- TRIAL OF PERSEVERANCE: Lures and traps are common here, a place where you are plausibly in the verge of failure but can you fight and overcome the obstacles?
- PATIENCE: Here you are with yourself as whole, as time is slowed and tests your soul as you prepare for the final trail of judgement.
- JUDGEMENT: A dialogue with god in solitude where he finally decides your fate.
How many trials do you think you will withstand?
