another by these evil spirits, even priests, for
they will not have been guided by the good spirit of the Gospel which is a spirit of humility,
charity and zeal for the glory of God. On occasions, the dead and the righteous will be brought
back to life.( That is to say that these dead will
take on the form of righteous souls which had lived on earth, in order to lead men further astray;
these so called resurrected dead, who will be nothing but the devil in this form, will preach

2. In a letter to Father Combe, dated October 7th, 1899, Melanie corrects these words in
parenthesis which are her own, she says, and which she judges to be unclear and inaccurate. "That

 These people would cause to appear in the eyes of the curious, acquainted and theirs who had
not led a Christian way of life.
These supposedly resurrected individuals appeared in heavenly glory. People known to have
lived in the fear of God appeared to be in horrible suffering, and urged their friends and
acquaintances not to follow in their foot steps, and they preached a Gospel opposed to that

for spiritualistic evocations and for certain spiritualistic and demoniac practices which no
doubt will one day be brought to light through a thorough examination of the Luciferian archives
of Free Masonry."

In the same letter, Melanie takes care to explain that where it is said that people
will be transported from one place to another, it must be understood as to be in
rare cases only.
