<blockquote>In this way, the demons have no prey and the vultures no flesh and blood. And the astral sheath, itself consumed by the physical/spiritual fire, may not roam the earth, a ghost of the former self. The astral hordes that would devour the coils of Light are themselves put to flight. For the soul has clean escaped the mortal round and is heard singing, heavenbound. | <blockquote>In this way, the demons have no prey and the vultures no flesh and blood.

Thus, it is essential to use the fire element in cremation at the transition of death so that there is a demagnetization of the cells of the body of the Light that they contain. If you have walked this earth and your body is filled with Light, that Light needs to be taken up into the higher permanent vehicles. If it is left in the cells of the body, the cells of the blood, as it is left when the body is buried, then astral [[entities]] may come and steal that Light. And these are the real grave robbers. They steal from the body the Light that you have garnered in your entire spiritual path. Sometimes that Light is cumulative from many lifetimes. The fire releases that Light from the cells and atoms and enables it to return to the [[Holy Christ Self]]. | |||
So also the astral ka, a double of oneself, can go out and do harm in one’s name, thereby creating karma for the soul, even though she is not part of that shell any longer. And once she enters the etheric octave or her lawful place, she will not even be conscious of what that ka is doing, therefore cannot exercise any control and restraint over its actions. It is important that the ka also be consigned to the spiritual fire, which is why a memorial service and a prayer vigil must be kept for one who has passed until the soul is free. | |||
