"Amphitheatre: the history of the interior".


This is the story of the dead who find themselves in the Valley of Inom, a place where pagans once sacrificed children to the Canaanite idol Molech.

In this world, souls require purification, a process that unfolds in Geinom—a realm of punishment and chastisement. Here, sinful souls endure unimaginable suffering and torment, far beyond anything experienced in the mortal world.

What happens in Geinom? The soul is confronted with a complete reckoning of its earthly life. Every action, every consequence in both this world and the Upper Worlds, is laid bare.
