They're called the Kirim and Kitab.

And they're sitting down and writing.

Now, one's writing down all your good deeds and one's writing down all your bad deeds.

And what it says in the tradition – and when I delve into these different traditions, it's not so much to say, okay, this religion is right and that one isn't, but to say what's in common across all these religions.

Because that part is probably right.

If these guys are coming to that independently, all the other stuff maybe.

I won't criticize for you believing the other stuff.

That's up to you.

But that stuff is probably at the core of this thing called life and what happens after life.

And so what it says in Islamic traditions is your book will be laid open for you after you die.

And you will be the reckoner, right?

So we think of Judgment Day and we think of all this stuff.

But what it's actually saying, now that's a metaphor.

It doesn't mean there's like angels with a feather pen writing down in Chinese, you know, this is what happened this day or in Arabic.

The only thing that makes sense is you would basically just record the entire 3D scene and you would play it back for yourself, which is exactly what near-death experiencers describe when they talk about the life review.

It's like this.

They're sitting there.

There's a screen.

And then suddenly they get pulled into the screen and they replay all of this stuff.

And there's usually an angel or they might call him God or they might say it's Jesus or they might say it's a being of light.
