The Last Battle

At the end of The Last Battle, there is a stable door that leads to Aslan's country. For creatures that have not believed in Aslan, the stable door leads inside of a stable that is said to hold the false god "Tashlan". For creatures that have believed in Aslan—including King Tirian, Eustace Scrubb, and Jill Pole—the door leads to part of Aslan's country. It is there that they meet almost all of the human children that have come to Narnia, who died in a train wreck in England. Aslan later summons all creatures in the world of Narnia to the stable door to be judged: all creatures look at Aslan and are separated, the "good" creatures going to Aslan's country, and the "bad" going to an unmentioned place. The Narnian world is then destroyed. The Last Battle is the seventh and final novel in The Chronicles of Narnia series by C. S. Lewis. ... For other uses, see Aslan (disambiguation). ...

Commentary

Because, as Lewis wrote, "he [Aslan] is an invention giving an imaginary answer to the question, 'What might Christ become like, if there really were a world like Narnia and He chose to be incarnate and die and rise again in that world as He actually has done in ours?'" (Martindale & Root 1990) it is natural to associate Aslan's Country with the Christian heaven. It is here that Narnians who love Aslan go at death (Lewis 1953, pp. ch16) and where all Narnians who "looked in the face of Aslan and loved him" arrive at the end of the world (Lewis 1956, pp. ch14). The representation of Heaven as a mountain is Biblical: "Who shall ascend the mountain of the Lord?"

Aslan's Country also represents Plato's World of Ideas, of which the physical world and the ideas in our minds are alike copies. In The Last Battle it is explained that all worlds, including the Narnia world (the world of mythology) and our own (the physical universe), are spurs from Aslan's Mountain, and Professor Kirke comments "All in Plato, all in Plato". PLATO was one of the first generalized Computer assisted instruction systems, originally built by the University of Illinois (U of I) and later taken over by Control Data Corporation (CDC), who provided the machines it ran on. ...
