Dead, the - do not come back to life

06/19/2011

Certain magicians or sorcerers have the reputation for bringing back the dead. Actually, these are not true resurrections: these sorcerers know of certain methods by which they are able to call up entities living on earth or underground, which they introduce into the corpse to bring it back to life. It is not the dead person’s spirit returning but other entities they got to enter the body and kept there for a certain time with their spells. All those who are said to have been brought back to life were not actually dead, even if they were thought to be because their heart had stopped beating. True death occurs not when the heart stops beating but when it has lost its warmth. When breathing stops, it is still not death. So long as the heart remains warm, humans can be brought back to life by massage or some other treatment, or even by means of divine magic. But when warmth departs from the heart and the silver cord which connects the physical body to the etheric and astral bodies is severed, nothing more can be done to bring them back to life.
