Description

We are reliably informed that the sages of old employed mythical and cabalistic devices at once to reveal and conceal a profounder meaning in their sacred writings, using at times "blinds" to
suggest to the untutored a shallow rendering, while conveying to those versed in symbolical
methodology a far profounder message. The most startling of these ruses was their use of
"death". Teaching for the living was put out under the guise of instruction for "the dead".
Great moral and spiritual systems were cloaked under the mask of "Books of the Dead," as in
Egypt and Tibet. This being so, the sequel will show why a revision of our understanding of
what was implied by the archaic use of the terms will so radically transform the meaning of
every single doctrine of the Christian faith. For the key to the correct interpretation of all
Scripture is just this ancient theological connotation of the word "death".
