Free The Key by Whitley Strieber

that Christ was better than you. Christ said it: I am the son of man. Christ is all. All are Christ.

    What about the ancient faiths? Wicca, for example?
    Modern Wicca is not an ancient faith. It is a new faith that recognizes an ancient practice. The earth is worthy of worship, for it gave you all that you are and have. It offers an impeccable path.
    Â 
    What religion doesn’t offer an impeccable path?
    Hidden in the ruins are diamonds. Remember, a diamond is forever. (Laughs.)
    Â 
    But what about the rebirth of the body? This is a powerful strain in our religious traditions, that the body will rise again.
    It is a memory from the last civilization that the ignorance of the survivors has drawn into myth. The simple people were allowed to know nothing of science in that age, and so they saw its action as a miracle and thought that the dead were being made to rise. But the science of the soul is just another science. There is no supernatural, only physics. But the physics and electronics involved in communicating with intelligent energy is very subtle. Nothing, however, that you are not capable of now. The devices needed to make your beginning are already sold in stores.
    Â 
    What devices do you refer to?
    Devices that detect magnetic fields and electromagnetic plasmas. You will find living energetic beings in this way. They will not be very richly alive, but they will be there. You may also detect simple energetic beings that have little intelligence. They are all around you.
    Â 
    What do we do once we’ve detected them?
    Then you must be physically able to communicate. After a time, you will not need instruments to detect them, once you become attuned to their presence around you. But don’t expect them to offer you endless wisdom. Many of the dead who wait in the world have less than you do, by a very great deal. But not all. Some are exceedingly rich, and can report to you even about the true past and the logical future, and can share themselves with you in ways that you can hardly imagine now.
    What practice would make us physically able to communicate? Over the course of our discussion, everything you need to learn how to objectively communicate with these beings will be given, just as all information necessary for your science to begin to detect living energy, which is trying now to communicate with you.
    Â 
    How?
    An example would be the much maligned crop circles. These are two-dimensional portraits of these beings, self-created. They are trying to introduce themselves to this age.
    Â 
    The crop circles are not hoaxes?
    No.
    Â 
    Why doesn’t anybody believe in them?
    To face the return of the dead is to face the change of the age. For those souls who are yet incomplete, this is terrifying, because they fear two things: first, that this portends that the time during which they can grow and develop is ending; second, that they will, if they conjoin the world of the dead, also see as the dead see, and thus become unable to change even if the earth remains able to support elemental bodies. So they pretend that it’s all false. There are many other reasons to conceal such things, but these are the strongest.
    Â 
    What has this all got to do with resurrection?
    The resurrected man is a consistent theme of the mythology that developed out of observations of a certain type of being, beginning with Osiris and ending with Christ. Fully conscious beings adept in this science can enable the radiant body to appear as an elemental body, so perfectly imprinted are its sensations on their energetic being.
    Â 
    Is your body, right now, radiant?
    You look for facts in a place where there is only truth. All bodies are one body.
    Â 
    But I thought you said that the elemental and energetic bodies were separate, and that the energetic body could become radiant, which I take to mean self-sustaining.
    The radiant body is the part of you that is conscious in the energetic world. It is in every cell
