The worship of Death in Religion
Welcome everyone to that death show. I am Anne Kelly and with me as always is our ridiculously talented esoteric author, the one and only Tim Wyatt. Hi Tim, how are you today? I'm very well indeed, how are you? I'm good, I'm excited about your new sub stack. I've been meaning to tell people what you've been doing really quick Tim, before we get back to you. This is something he's been working on forever, but now it has a platform. The sub stack is called the Esoteric Perspective. There will be a link down below.
And Tim has been writing since, Tim, how old were you when you knew that you could do what you do so well? Well, I started writing when I was about 12 or 13. Of course, at that point, I never realized that it might go on to be a profession. But I think I realized by the time I was a teenager, late teenager, that writing was the thing for me, I think.
Well, you're damn good at it. are just literally, can crank it out. And if you enjoy what you're getting here on that death show, please, please, please check out the esoteric perspective. It runs hand in hand with this podcast. And again, it's relatively new, but the material that this man grinks out, Tim, he's a machine. So hopefully we will see you over there on Substack. So death is not the final chapter. Join Tim and I every week as we explore.
the spiritual journey beyond the physical. go deep, as deep as we can, into the understanding that we are immortal energy. We have no ending. And we explore all the exciting possibilities of the afterlife as explained by esoteric science. Now, last week, we talked about death cults and religion and politics like the Nazis and Jim Jones, religious sex. Today, it is the worship of death.
in religions. Now really quick, we're an infinitesimal team here. You're looking at the team. This is the team. We need your help. If you're able to please help us get this podcast off the ground by liking, subscribing, reviewing, rating, commenting, anything you can do. We want to give this podcast our very, best. We are trying and we need you to do so. So you're part of that death show community. Thank you for your support. Now, Tim, this first question might make it.
a few people angry and I'm used to this backlash, but I have come to understand in my own personal understanding that the Bible is written in allegory and symbolism, obviously parable and traditionally Christianity and Judaism and Islam, they don't preach reincarnation, although it was the core of Jesus's teachings. Now you have said that the Bible is chock full of references to reincarnation. Can you explain a little bit about that, please?
Yes, there are numerous quotes in the Bible. We won't go into them all now because otherwise it'll sound like a Bible study lesson. But yeah, it's replete with stuff about this. And it's interesting the way that a core inner message like that, that we are continually reborn in new bodies, was somehow excised from the Christian faith in the sixth century. Had it retained that core belief,
that Jesus taught to his followers how differently Christianity would have turned out. Although I have to say, many Christians, probably more than a third of Christians, actually do believe in reincarnation these days, which is slightly ironic, I think, but that's the way it is. Why do you think it was taken out? Why do think the idea of rebirth was removed from these religions?
Well, over the first centuries of Christianity, it obviously changed and there was a heavy political dimension to Christianity. The reason it was taken out was probably twofold. One, because the ecclesiastical authorities probably thought that, well, if people are born again, that leaves us less control over them in this life. And also,
When they finally came to ban it all together, although they'd been talking about it for a couple of centuries beforehand, when they finally banned it in the sixth century, it was all part of political theater about the Eastern and Western churches and various other beliefs. And we won't go into all that, but it was a fundamental error that they made at that point to take something so important and so crucial.
out of the biblical teachings and the words of Jesus. Just thinking about it, if you reincarnate, you're out from under the control of this church or this religion, which is really a state and politics well said. And I don't want to go too off topic here, but can we touch a little bit about, I don't know, the symbolism of the cross, the most, well, one of the most gruesome instruments of torture?
the death of Jesus has become an icon for the religion that's founded on love and compassion and forgiveness. What are your thoughts on us focusing on, well, I'm going say us, but the focus on the cross rather than what came out of Jesus's mouth. Can we touch on that for a moment? Well, the cross is one of humanity's most ancient symbols and it represents the continuity of life.
And the cross in all its many different forms has been used long before Christianity. And it represents something which is universal, a wheel of life. And it can be drawn in a number of ways. The swastika, which was hijacked by the Nazis was a very, very ancient symbol for the continuity of life. But of course, now it's so horribly degraded, it can't be used in that way anymore.
And so this idea that Jesus was crucified on the cross has provided a very potent symbol for Christianity. I mean, as Woody Allen said, what would Christians have done if Christ had been executed in the electric chair? That's true. That is absolutely the truth and baffling, but it is an ancient symbol. And I understand. just don't see why we focus on the gore and all that. It's almost like some kind of a, I don't know,
porn kind of a thing. It's just to focus on that rather than what he came through with. And I just don't know, I thought I'd mentioned that as we're in this area. So as we move forward, the Buddhists most definitely believe in reincarnation, which is nirvana, which is free from suffering and free from rebirth. But it's not really a traditional heaven as such, is it? It's not heaven. And then they also have a place
of hell, which is very similar to what is described in the esoteric philosophy and the ossify. Can you explain some of the Buddhist's version of heaven and hell, please? Well, there are different versions of this depending on which of the various Buddhist sects you apply to. The Buddhists do have a version of hell, which they call Avicii, where lost souls go to be destroyed. This is sometimes in the esoteric literature referred to as the Eighth
sphere. it's very, very complicated all this. And my understanding is that this is only applied in very extreme cases to absolutely recalcitrant souls who can show no goodness within them at all. In the Tibetan tradition, there are very different things that happen. They talk in the Tibetan Book of the Dead about various after-death states called the Bardo states, where they have all kinds of
visions, some of them quite gruesome. Many Buddhists believe that there is only 49 days between the end of one physical cycle and the beginning of the next. Although again, as with all religions and all traditions, there are many different variations within all this. Avicii, in my understanding, is not a location. It is a state, like a state of being, a psychological state of
existence mentally. Is that correct? Well, it would correspond to the Christian and Jewish and Islamic versions of hell because all the three Abrahamic religions have their own versions of it as they do such things as purgatory, where people are tested before they are consigned to one of the two locations, heaven or hell. There's a lot in this
in the new age community and also in the near death experiences, they say, everybody goes to heaven, there is no hell. It's only here on earth that the suffering is. But you mentioned this eighth sphere, is, it is a little convoluted as you say, but for those who have given their lives over to cruelty, selfishness, and they are, I don't wanna say unredeemable, but that's the only word I can think of, the soul gets recycled.
It just gets absorbed and recycled. And I'm really not qualified to explain that. Can you touch a little bit about the eighth sphere? Just flesh that out a little bit for us, because it's pretty gnarly. Well, the details of this are disputed by different people and there are, as with all things, a number of variants which surround it. certainly people like Madame Blavatsky, one of the co-founders
the Theosophical Society, she talked about lost souls. These are souls who've gone through a number of lives where they have been extremely wicked and evil and probably killed people. There is absolutely no sign of any spiritual connection or moral compass or anything good about these people. This, as I say, think applies to a relatively small number of people.
who life after life show no signs of any kind of spiritual dimension within them. And she also writes in the collected writings really quick here, she's saying Avicii, a state not necessarily after death or between two births, but it can take place on earth. And then it says here, uninterrupted hell, the last of the eight hells we are told where the culprit die and are reborn without interruption. So that would be.
There's not a lot of rest after the birth when they say that the light at the end of the tunnel could be the birth canal that can happen. And then she writes here, yet not without hope of final redemption, because you always get a chance up until the very end before the recycling, because Avitchi is another name for Myalba, which is the name for earth where this suffering, a lot of this suffering takes place. She's saying that the state to which some soulless men, as Tim was talking about, are condemned to life on the physical plane, because it would be like being sentenced to hell.
In Buddhism and Hinduism, the aim is to eventually escape the sorrowful, weary wheel of life and escape existence altogether. So what is Buddhist's heaven then? What do they look forward to? If it's not a Devashan or a heaven, is it just simply to escape rebirth? Would that be considered their heaven?
Yes, they call it Moksha, final liberation from having to go through the endless cycle of birth, death, rebirth, death, rebirth, hundreds, thousands of times. Their aim is to become superhuman, to go to kingdoms or realms where physical bodies are no longer required. And indeed, this is where many members of humanity will finally wind up.
not immediately of course, but in the far distant future. That is the aim of this project on earth so that substantial numbers of people can graduate from the kindergarten of earth school into higher non-physical realms. And this is why being attached to physical bodies, when you look at it in the big picture is quite ridiculous really because we've done it so many times before.
and we'll do it so many times again, it's no big deal. Well, it is interesting how we think that this is a huge, we know everything, that this is all that there is. We spend a lot of time on what we think is, I don't know, aesthetics and wealth and fame and all that. We really are in kindergarten, if that, if not preschool, if not just in diapers when it comes to the evolution. Isn't that true here on earth? This is just an elementary school, for lack of a better word.
Yes, it is. It's often described as being somewhere between a prison and a rather strict school where we have to get punished for our mistakes. If we're lucky, we do learn from these mistakes, but if not, then we have to endlessly be faced with situations where we face up to these defects in our character or these karmic things that we have to deal with, things that we've done
in other lives that need to be addressed and need to be harmonized in some way. But imagining that this is the only life and this is the only body that we have is rather like saying, well, if you're a goldfish just swimming around a bowl with an attention span of 10 seconds or something, then that's what it's like. It's not seeing the world beyond that, beyond that goldfish bowl, because that's all that goldfish knows, isn't it?
Yes, that is a very good analogy. And many of us just polish that goldfish one round around the tank and we think that that's it, or even just the bowl and that's it. But there's far, far more to our story. Now, in the Tibetan Book of the Dead, we've touched on that. There's so much more, we can go deeper. There's the Egyptian Book of the Dead, which inspired you to write your, everyone's Book of the Dead. So if you would like a copy of that, please visit firewheelbooks.co.uk. We have it here. There it is.
I've got it here too, I've got it right there. And we've given some of those away here on that death show. So stick around, we'll be giving away more. I wanted to talk about the Egyptians as we touch on, they had a pantheon of gods that they worshiped like Ra, the sun god, and Osiris, and Anubis, the god of death. They viewed pharaohs also, like we did kings, they had the divine right, that they were gods on earth. Is that correct? That the pharaohs were earthly gods?
Well, indeed they were and this is why they went to such enormous and elaborate lengths to bury the pharaohs in the correct fashion as indeed they did with other aristocratic Egyptians. They spent vast amounts of money firstly getting the bodies embalmed, which was a complicated and expensive process lasting many weeks. We won't go into it because it's quite gory
and involves removing all the innards of the body and everything and then embalming it with various oils and scents and bandages. And then that was just the first start because then there were the sarcophagi, the coffins of the Egyptians. And sometimes they weren't just content with one, but they had one sarcophagus containing another sarcophagus containing a third sarcophagus. And this is what we've
found amongst the archaeological remains in the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens in Egypt. Huge rooms with furniture, grave goods. Often there were even accommodations for the aristocrat or the pharaoh's servants. They also accompanied them in the afterlife. So the Egyptian afterlife precisely mirrored their life on earth in the same strata of
classes and aristocracy and poorer people also prevailed. But amongst the poorer people, they couldn't necessarily afford this. So they had this thing of mummifying cats and they found millions of these embalmed cats all over Egypt. And the Egyptians did this because they felt, although they didn't believe in reincarnation as such, they believed that unless the proper funerary procedures weren't followed,
then the deceased would not be able to go into the afterlife and join Ra, the sun god, on his daily journey through the heavens. So this is why it was so important to them and why death was such an intimate part of Egyptian life. it wasn't reincarnation. They're looking at an afterlife, which is an extension of the physical life, correct? And they wanted to take their stuff with them. So it's not reincarnation. They're not being reborn. They're going somewhere else.
with all the stuff they had here. Yeah, it's just the change of state. It's like the three Abrahamic religions, they don't talk about reincarnation, they talk about some kind of heaven, which is all very vague actually. They never actually say much about what actually happens there or what the ultimate plan is, whether those people in heaven eventually get transferred back to a new earth. That's what some Christians believe. Others believe that heaven would be a permanent state.
I think that's what the Egyptians felt as well. Once you had passed through this earth, then it was an afterlife with the sun gone. But we have to remember that the average age of many of these Egyptians was only between 30 and 40, half the lifespan that we can expect these days. And so it was much more of a pressing problem for them. would be elders back then if we made it this far, wouldn't we?
Well, we would be the absolute exceptions because most people didn't live beyond the age of about 40. I know in the Bible it talks about some of the early patriarchs living for hundreds of years, but we don't know whether these figures are actual or whether they're perhaps expressed symbolically in numbers. know, Methuselah and these kind of people. Yeah, that could be symbolic and an analogy or something. We don't know.
Are there any thoughts that you have to share on those who have not read the Egyptian Book of the Dead? That could have been part of the inspiration for everyone's Book of the Dead. Anything we can take away with us today? Well, I think one of the interesting things about it are the symbols which are used in it and the illustration because it's largely a pictorial thing because this is, you know, with the hieroglyphics and their illustrations and their cartouches in the various buildings. This is how the Egyptians
express things, but some of the imagery is absolutely wonderful. I've always been fascinated by this idea in the Egyptian religion, but also others where you get combinations of people and animals. They're known as Therianthropes. You get a lot of it in Greek mythology, example, centaurs and satyrs and people like that. Whereas in Egypt, you have
the jackal headed god Anubis and various other animal human combinations. And I think this is very, very interesting. And this is the way I believe that they were best able to express these ideas of death. Really quick behind you, you have an Egyptian, looks like, is that a sarcophagus? What is that behind you? Can we talk about that or is that private? No, it's not private at all. It's actually a replica
of King Tutankhamun's sarcophagus. When this was displayed in the British Museum in 1971, and I was working near there at the time, they had this huge exhibition on, one of the local museum shops produced 10 facsimiles of this coffin. I managed to come across one about 15 years ago and actually you can open it up and it's a book
case inside. And I have flirted with the idea of perhaps getting myself entombed in this when I go, but I intend to be cremated. So I wouldn't want to burn such a fine artifact as that. But yes, it sits there and people, in fact, one of my neighbors who comes along and is not the most articulate of men, he said, I like your ocephagus in the corner of your room.
Well, you could lay in state in it, why not? You could lay in state, then they can cremate you and that can go on to live again. It's beautiful back there. I do see your style behind you. And I always wanted to ask you that question, you are so for this. All right, now the Greeks, now they did not believe in reincarnation. They talked about the underworld, which to me sounds like one out of 10 stars would not recommend, but there was some sort of reward and punishment there. Can you expand a little bit about
the Greeks and their underworld in Hades just a little bit. Yeah, well, Hades was for the Greeks an extremely gloomy place. And this has always struck me as being rather strange because the Greek people, and I know the Greek people fairly well, they are upbeat, buoyant, joyous people, but their underworld was a very gloomy place indeed.
and it was often entered by crossing a river, the river Styx and how you cross this river and paying the ferryman has become enshrined into all sorts of stories and legends. But there are so many different versions of this within the Greek myths and so many variants that it's difficult to be specific because obviously Greek culture and Greek spirituality evolved over a long period of time in the pre-Athenian
civilizations and what went on once Greece and its empire got subsumed into the Roman Empire. But it wasn't a particularly nice place to be at all. And it corresponded in many ways to the more grim Christian descriptions of purgatory or hell with various menacing creatures and visions and that sort of thing. All the gods the Greeks had.
and then they have the underworld, but no reincarnation. The more we do this death show, the more I begin to understand this life, there's no way that this can possibly be all that there is. What was the inspiration for them to behave themselves and what were they earning if the underworld was relatively purgatory-ish or unpleasant? Well, I think the Greeks were very much a people who believed in
truth and beauty and these noble values. But of course, central to all Greek spirituality and they did believe in reincarnation because it was taught in the mystery schools of Eleusis, in the Bacchic mysteries and many other things. Well, the Bacchic were Roman, but in the Eleusinian mysteries, in the Orphic mysteries, in the Delphic mysteries,
These were called universities of the soul. They were divided into the lesser mysteries for people who were just embarking on a spiritual path and the greater mysteries for those who pass through the lower mysteries and knew a little bit more. But the whole purpose of them, via their rituals and their teachings, was that the soul survives death and that physical bodies were only temporary.
And the idea of it was to take the fear out of death. So they put people through these very elaborate and often quite frightening rituals, sometimes in which people were laid in a sarcophagus or a stone coffin. Sometimes they used chanting, drugs, all sorts of things and staged these two or three day rituals in which people actually believed that they had died. And the purpose of this was to show
that death should have no fear. The greater mysteries just elaborated on all this and went into greater depths and greater levels of it all. But the lesser mysteries into which many thousands of people were inducted over the years were very, very important. And those mystery schools didn't just exist in Greece, but have existed in many countries across the world.
And indeed, it's speculated now that these mystery schools, if they ever did finally close their doors or whether they just went underground, whether they might be revived in some form or another. Although clearly many of their teachings are enshrined in things like Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, Theosophy, these are the modern versions of the mystery schools. So I think that's what we take away from the Greeks more than their
pantheon of gods and their kind of vague ideas of what happens after death. I think the more important teachings were contained and disseminated by those mystery schools. Well, I was going to say that, that what we're learning right now, what we're studying, what we're talking about, this is what was in the mystery schools. Now that we can communicate, like you mentioned, theosophy, the Rosicrucians, the perennial philosophy.
These are the mystery schools. It's not an elite thing. It is not exclusive. However, many would like to keep it that way. And we're trying to bring them out into the world because through application, they can change your life. And I wanted to move a little bit forward. have a little bit more time. In the Vikings, I had a misunderstanding. We were talking about them a few episodes back. I thought Valhalla being heaven,
Was that not exclusive only for warriors who died valiantly on the battlefield because then they could go with the maidens and then train for the ultimate battle of good and evil? Or was Valhalla for all the Vikings? No, it was principally for the warriors. And it was basically Odin's feasting hall. So when warriors died, they could basically carry on in Valhalla the kind of activities which they'd engaged in during
earthly life, was principally combat, feasting, the pleasures of the flesh and so on. And some elderly warriors who hadn't died in battle, it is said, they actually fell on their own swords so that they could go to this place and be with their comrades after death. Where did all the other Vikings go then, if they can't go to Valhalla? Was there something similar for everybody else?
Well, this is not clear. It's not entirely clear what happened to the rest of them, but they were a warrior caste. I most men in one form or another were warriors. That's what they were all about. They were conquering nations. They conquered Britain. They conquered many other countries as well. And eventually, they conquered much of France and those kinds of countries. that's where
Basically, the word Normans comes from the people who conquered England in 1066 were descendants of those Norsemen, Normans, the Vikings. Well, I would imagine that's true because that's what they did and they fought and they continued that and that was them. So, guess everybody then would be entitled to Valhalla and with the Valkyries, which would be the ladies and the food. And then they're preparing. They're preparing for
their heaven is actually a preparation to fight again. And what is it called? Ragannarok or something like that? What's it called? Ragannarok. Ragannarok, yeah. So that would be heaven for them would be going to feast and play with the ladies and enjoy the physical joys and then train for the ultimate battle. Was interesting that. The Celts, we have a little bit here on the end. We're gonna close. The Druids, you mentioned Tim.
is that they would mourn the birth and celebrate the death because they understood the cyclical nature of life. Can we talk a little bit about the Celts? Well, the Celts had absolutely no fear of death. Julius Caesar, when he was fighting them, actually commented on this in his diary because he was astonished that they showed such a lack of fear towards death.
In some ways, the druids almost worship death because they had another world which was called Anwin. This was paradise of endless joy and immortality. But of course, they also believed in a cycle of birth and rebirth. They talked about it occurring in three different circles of life. won't go into all the technicalities.
curiously celebrated death, but mourned the birth of a child because they knew that a child coming into the world would have to face all sorts of perils and dangers and tragedies and triumphs and all the things that we have to go through in human life. Welcome to hell, but it is a place of great learning and also can be a place of paradise, but also great suffering.
And then the Aboriginal cultures in Australia, interestingly, they do believe in reincarnation, the cycle, but they also believe you can come back as a plant. Is that true? Yes, the Aboriginal peoples, and they're not one single homogenous group. There are hundreds and possibly a thousand different tribes scattered over that vast continent. But they do have this idea of something called the Dream Time.
which involves ancestors who are reborn as features in the landscape, trees, rocks, water holes, and that sort of thing. So for the Aboriginal peoples, they and the landscape were one. There was no real separation between that. Once you died, you became part of that eternal fabric of ancestors and geographical features. it's so beautiful. So Dreamtime.
It's not merely a historical event, but it's ongoing and it connects the past, present and the future and it's beautiful. There's so much we could touch on, but we are coming up to the end of this episode. My God, my God. Don't forget Tim's sub stack. If you enjoy what you are hearing here on that death show, there is a relatively new sub stack out there. It is Tim's writings. He's got so much stuff. goes hand in hand with that death show.

The reasons that I do all this is to try and get people to stop being frightened of death. It's almost like being frightened of waking up the next morning. It's irrational and yet it's so deeply ingrained into people. This fear, it does affect many people's lives. It really sets a break on the life often of people because it's something which is a fear lurking at the back of their minds.
Even if they try and avoid thinking about it, inevitably it creeps in. And if they think that this life is the only one, well, what else are you going to do apart from get depressed? That's the whole reason we're doing this. Remember death is not fatal, final or permanent. And it is definitely not a tragedy. It is a doorway, a transition to a new beginning.
