True Death

True Death is the basic belief that is the root of the Dustmen's philosophy. Chapter 3 of the forthcoming PSCS defines it as such:

"The only goal now is to achieve True Death and pass beyond this miserable stage of existence. What comes after True Death? Well, that’s up for debate. Some believe that after True Death, a body comes back into True Life, and has a chance to live again where he lived before, a place far more vibrant and real than this pale post-mortal shadow. Others believe that it's not True Life that comes after True Death, but a true afterlife, where joy and real happiness are the only things there are, and pain is unknown. Still others believe that True Death is oblivion; that what it brings is a permanent end to the soul and to consciousness. What all the Dustmen agree on, however, is that whatever comes after True Death, it has to be better than this."
