Death

What Happens to a Person When They Die?

 

Please read the essays titled “Soul and Spirit” and “Energetic Entities“before reading this essay…

 

 

 

When a person dies their spirit / purified soul / energy complex called the Higher Self leaves the body immediately and goes to Heaven.  It will remain in heaven until it is time to reincarnate.  This part of the individual is perfect and pure and truly immortal.

 

The lower aspects of the person’s soul which are too polluted to go to heaven remain stuck to the body for a few days following death.  During this period pieces of globular, bubble like units of soul consciousness detach from the body and escape out into the environment.  These “Energetic Entities” then go looking for another human they can move into so they can siphon off chi energy for their survival.  These soul pieces tend to infiltrate the bodies of living relatives of the deceased.  This infiltration by what essentially amounts to a parasitic spirit entity can cause all sorts of physical and psychological illness to the living host.  This is a huge problem for humanity and can be considered a sort of plague upon the human species.

 

This phenomenon is described in great detail in a book by Samuel Sagan called “Energetic Entities.”  In this book he suggests burning the body within a day or two after death before the worst of the polluted soul energy escapes out into the environment.  He claims that burning purifies the polluted soul energy and prevents it from causing problems for living humans.

 

 

 

ANCESTOR WORSHIP

 

The Higher Self of the deceased person can help its living relatives.  The polluted soul fragments of the deceased person can hurt their living relatives.  This is the reason for the widespread practice of ancestor worship in traditional cultures.

 

Ancestor worship is intended to gain the favor of and avoid the potential damage of the “ancestral spirits.”  Typically a family or household would have a small shrine for the veneration of the ancestors.  Small offerings of food, drink and pleasant fragrance are made every morning.  The damaging soul pieces can feed their cravings from these offerings instead of infiltrating the bodies of the living.

 

These offerings are typically culture specific.  The Japanese might offer a small bowl of rice, a small cup of sake and burn a stick of incense.  A Nordic might offer a small piece of dried fish, a small cup of mead and a small amount of macerated fragrant herb.  An America might offer a small piece of beef, a splash of bourbon in a shot glass and a piece of sage or a drop of essential oil of sage on a small plate.

 

These practices are fundamental to the human species.  We have gotten away from them and would benefit greatly by returning to these traditional ways.
