The dead live on
The beloved Master Jesus
was the greatest example
of the certainty of life
after life, because He
endorsed immortality,
revealing the death of
death, continuing to
live
On the date of November
2, the cemeteries are
full of people that go
there to honor their
dead. Many take
advantage of the
opportunity to decorate
the tombs, other lit
candles and,
fortunately, many also
recall to manage their
thoughts to
disincarnated ones by
prayer.

In The
Spirits’ Book,
in questions 320
through 329, the
celebration of
the so-called
“All Saints’
Day” is
described, very
well, by the
High Spirits. It
is worth
highlighting,
mainly, the
teaching that
the Spirits
remembered
attend
cemeteries,
attracted by the
thoughts of
their friends
and relatives.
However, the
Doctrine
stresses that
the praying is
what sanctifies
the act of
remembrance and
"the respect
that, at all
times and
between all
peoples, the man
enshrined and
enshrines the
dead is effect
of natural
intuition that
exists the
future life",
that is, that
the dead live
on.
The beloved
Master Jesus was
the greatest
example of the
certainty of
life after life.
He endorsed
immortality,
revealing the
death of
death,
continuing
to l ive.

Through, also,
the mediumistic
phenomenon of
ectoplasm,
dialoguing with
some apostles,
on the way to
Emmaus and
appears, in a
closed room,
proving through
the mediumship
of physical
effects the
immortality.
Likewise, there
is also the
mediumistic
interchange,
talking to
Thomas,
skeptical at
first, denying
the return of
Christ to his
apostles.

Christ, in physical
life, kept contact with
the disincarnated
Spirits
The Master’s
materialization,
highlighting the
survival of the being,
is a cornerstone of
Christianity, as Paul
says, in “But if there
is no resurrection of
the dead, neither hath
Christ been raised. And
if Christ hath not been
raised, then is our
preaching vain, your
faith also is vain.” (1
Co. 15:14). The apostle
of Gentiles says that
the dead resurrect in a
spiritual body (1 Co.
15:44) and claims, with
conviction: “Death is
swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is thy
victory? O death, where
is thy sting? (1Co.
15:54-55).
Jesus, reincarnated
among us, talked to the
so-called dead. At Mount
Tabor, he talked to the
Spirits of Elijah and
Moses, using mediums of
physical effects, Peter,
James and John, as they
were giving their
ectoplasm, responsible
for the mediumistic
process of
materialization– “Now
Peter and they that were
with him were heavy with
sleep” (Lc. 9:32). Only
the hypothesis of being
in a mediumistic trance
explains the fact of
sleeping after the
transfiguration of the
Master.
The Christ, in physical
life, maintained contact
with ignorant
disincarnated Spirits,
appearing as deaf-mute,
legion, etc. The Master
underlined immortality,
stating that the dead
are still alive. He
said: “But as touching
the resurrection of the
dead, have ye not read
that which was spoken
unto you by God,
saying,: I am the God of
Abraham, and the God of
Isaac, and the God of
Jacob? God is not of the
dead, but of the living”
(Mt. 22:32). They are
alive and awake.
Death doesn’t exist,
because life continues
after the corporeal
death. If there is no
life outside the grave,
there is no sense for
life before death.
The dead live and are
aware of their
individualities
The Spirit preexists the
body – “Before I formed
thee in the belly I knew
thee...” (Jeremiah 1:4)
– and lives beyond the
sepulture, as many
biblical passages prove,
as following: 1) John,
the beloved disciple,
says: “...Beloved,
believe not every
spirit, but prove the
spirits, whether they
are of God” (1 Jo. 4:1);
2) “and coming forth out
of the tombs after his
resurrection the Spirits
entered into the holy
city and appeared unto
many.” (Mt. 27:53); 3)
When they went to the
tomb, Mary Madeleine and
the other Mary saw a
Spirit, certainly
materialized: “His
appearance was as
lightning, and his
raiment white as snow”
(Mt. 28:3); 4) The
spiritual being called
Gabriel (“Man of Light”)
is described as a man by
the prophet Daniel (Dn.
9:21), not being an
entity created apart of
the creation, different
from the others. Also,
an entity called Michael
introduces himself as a
warrior; 5) The apostle
Peter, sure of the
existence of life after
death and the
possibility of
mediumistic
communication, says that
“after his death, he
would try to remember
all things he had
preached” (1 Pe. 1:15);
6) In the Old Testament
there is an account of a
mediumistic session, in
which up shows the
Spirit Samuel, leaving a
message to Saul, through
the pythoness from En-Dor
(1-Sm. 28:1); 7) Jó sees
a spiritual being, as he
says: “Then a spirit
passed before my face;
The hair of my flesh
stood up; It stood
still, but I could not
discern the appearance
thereof; A form was
before mine eyes” (Jó
4:15-16); 8) In the book
of Isaiah, called as the
“Fifth Evangelist”, the
dead talk at the
“purgatorial zones”,
“sheol” or “underworld”,
surprised to see, in the
same situation of
suffering, the famous
and powerful king of
Babylon (Is. 14:10); 9)
Jesus, dead in flesh but
free as a Spirit, went
on to preach, in these
inferior zones, to those
who were suffering in
this (“prison”)
(1 Pe. 3:18-20).
The dead live and are
aware of their
individualities, and so
there is life in the
beyond. We are sure
that, after the
phenomenon of death,
continues life. Two
astronomers left
written, in their
epitaphs, the following
comforting message: “We
love so passionately the
stars that we don’t fear
the night”.
