Anonymous theist, can you imagine the sinking feeling you will feel on the day of the weighing of the heart when Anubis judges us all?
The `heart' of the soul will be balanced against the white feather of Ma'at, the feather of truth on the other side. If the soul's heart was lighter than the feather the soul was justified, the person could pass on toward the bliss of the Field of Reeds. Should the heart prove heavier, however, it was thrown to the floor of the Hall of Truth where it was devoured by Amenti Once Amenti devoured the person's heart, the individual soul then ceased to exist.
