i think purgatory refers to psychological states of hopelessness and aimlessness, which can reinforce itself over time if not nipped in the bud. i could be wrong, but karma seems to be more related to issues not being dealt with but that need to be resulting from these "purgatorial states". there's no judgment, only that you'll move through whatever issue when you're ready...but sometimes, you'll never be ready if you don't stand up. it's up to you.
but sometimes it would take a highly charged sto figure to alter the fear-based dynamic we've internalized and projected on the world, because that bud is usually far too deep for most to see. because the nature of such an endeavor is immense, and the karmic paths of those effected even greater, such a figure would not be able to simply "run away". it would be contrary to karmic laws and the very essence of that entity.
now whether or not jesus will return in the flesh is a compelling question. most sources point towards a "no", that he can do far more work through interfacing with numerous people simultaneously via the higher-dimensions.
(there's another great 6d channeled source that touches on this...pm me if you're interested)
the spiritual implications of that, if you subscribe to it, is immense, because now the onus of responsibility is placed within your hands. not to "become jesus" or consider yourself some awesomely powerful, egoistic figure with white gloves, golden toilets and servants carrying bells and whistles. but on the contrary, to recognize how everyone has that potential within them to move beyond those concerns, to simply be yourself, be love, resonate with that and carry it forth in your actions...

17.20 questioner: how did this aggressive action against a playmate affect jesus in his spiritual growth? where did he go after his physical death?

ra: i am ra. the entity you call jesus was galvanized by this experience and began a lifetime of seeking and searching. this entity studied first day and night in its own religious constructs which you call judaism and was learned enough to be a rabbi, as you call teach/learners of this particular rhythm or distortion of understanding, at a very young age.

at the age of approximately thirteen and one-half of your years, this entity left the dwelling place of its earthly family, as you would call it, and walked into many other places seeking further information. this went on sporadically until the entity was approximately twenty-five, at which time it returned to its family dwelling, and learned and practiced the art of its earthly father.

when the entity had become able to integrate or synthesize all experiences, the entity began to speak to other-selves and teach/learn what it had felt during the preceding years to be of a worthwhile nature. the entity was absolved karmically of the destruction of an other-self when it was in the last portion of lifetime and spoke upon what you would call a cross saying, “father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” in forgiveness lies the stoppage of the wheel of action, or what you call karma. perhaps this hypothetical alcoholic man would be galvanized into seeking and soul-searching resulting from the destruction he has waged on himself and the impacts it's had on others (?), with that purgatorial state being breached through forgiveness and self-discipline.
