Many interesting abstracts for the CRE 2023 conference in Basel, including one entitled Death is Only the Beginning: Non-Existence – A State of Existence or Total Annihilation? (p 83) by Kristine Reinhold, which asks how we should understand what happens to the damned. "The attestations will be presented in thematic groups, including: existence in a state of anti-life, where one is deprived of the features of life, non- existence as total annihilation, and a state of non-existence characterized by existing in the darkness, without the potential to come forth." I hope this is eventually published and I can get my hands on it.

And CRE 2021: Being annihilated or being satisfied in the Duat. About the dynamic of the sw.wt in the New Kingdom Books of the Underworld (p 17) Mariano Bonanno: "... as one of the elements with greater mobility, the shadow is a first-order component to preserve the integrity of the deceased. That is why a deceased (or a god) with a “powerful shadow” or who can keep it in the Hereafter, guarantees to join the crew of the disk and therefore regenerate. On the contrary, with the annihilation of the shadow, the condemned are executed and included among those that do not exist."
