With the death and "fall" of the once pure Egyptian Initiates died in Egypt the true teaching about life after death. The then remaining teaching was as follows: After death the body falls into its various elements. The body is the transient part. So far so good.
But then it was believed that after death, the physical body must remain intact, in order to live for eternity in the after-death world. That is why they wanted to keep the dead body physically intact. So they made it into a mummy. Like this:
Thus they hoped for immortality in the physical body in the after-death world.
This, though, is a distortion of the true doctrine. What really happens is this: After death of the physical body the entity should detach as soon as possible from the corpse, to then awake on after-deathplanes and in the astral-mental parts of the body. Clinging to the physical body (eben as a mummy) prolongs the suffering and binds to the physical world and to the decaying body. Because decay it will, sooner or later.
How does the entity return on physical (or higher) planes? The remaining permanent atoms or Skandhas at various after-death planes shall cause reincarnation. Also the belief in an eternal life in heaven is a mistake or rather error of the Egyptian death cult. The heavens are transient. EVERYTHING that has a beginning must have an end.
Only that which has NO Beginning and NO end ist truly to be called eternal. Eternity is TIMELESS. And that is NIRVANA, our true home, and the end of suffering. OM.
TheLOSS of the true doctrine, now reawakened in THE BOOK OF LIGHT, caused in Egypt an almost childlike - naive death-cult industry and culture, based on clinging to physical life, misunderstanding and fear of death . Om. THE TRUTH shall set you free.
