Exploring the practice of living resurrection in ancient Egyptian,
Phoenician, Greek, Persian, Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Celtic, and
Native American traditions, Freddy Silva explains how resurrection
was never meant for the dead, but for the living--a fact supported
by the suppressed Gnostic Gospel of Philip: “Those who say they
will die first and then rise are in error. If they do not first
receive the resurrection while they live, when they die they will
receive nothing.” He reveals how these practices were not only
common in the ancient world but also shared similar facets in each
tradition: initiates were led through a series of challenging
ordeals, retreated for a three-day period into a cave or restricted
room, often called a “bridal chamber,” and while out-of-body,
became fully conscious of travels in the Otherworld. Upon returning
to the body, they were led by priests or priestesses to witness the
rising of Sirius or the Equinox sunrise. Silva describes some
of the secret chambers around the world where the ritual was
performed, including the so-called tomb of Thutmosis III in Egypt,
which featured an empty sarcophagus and detailed instructions for
the living on how to enter the Otherworld and return alive. He
reveals why esoteric and Gnostic sects claimed that the literal
resurrection of Jesus promoted by the Church was a fraud and how
the Church branded all living resurrection practices as a heresy,
relentlessly persecuting the Gnostics to suppress knowledge of this
self-empowering experience. He shows how the Knights Templar
revived these concepts and how they survive to this day within
Freemasonry.
