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
another Gospel contrary to that of the true Christ Jesus, denying the existence
of Heaven; that
is also to say, the souls of the damned. All these souls will appear as if fixed
to their bodies).2
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
is to say", she writes, "that in those days, which only seem like twenty years
ago, some
perverted people (Italian: malvages) had given themselves over to devotion to
the demon of magic
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
of Our Lord Jesus Christ. It seems that these bizarre occurences may be put down
to the fashion
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.
