"On the death of any living creature the spirit returns to the spiritual 
world, the body to the bodily world. In this, however, only the body is 
subject to change. The spiritual world is one single spirit that stands like 
unto light behind the bodily world and who, when a single creature 
comes into the world, shines through it as through a window. According 
to the kind and size of the window less or more light enters the world. 
The light itself remains unchanged."  -- Aziz Nasafi

In the above replace "spirit" with "consciousness." Same difference.
