Fear of death causes us humans to do strange things… from hoarding material wealth like a species of gifted packrats… to robbing and stealing from each other to get our “fair share” of the social booty… from revering human embryos and outlawing abortion… to keeping hospital patients on their deathbed alive with a small army of breathing machines and feeding tubes and electronic monitors.

Fear of death compels us not just to cheat each other and the tax authorities, but to cheat death itself… and that can be especially problematic at a spiritual level when it comes to cryogenics, or, more specifically, the cryopreservation of the human body (cryonics)… freezing the body when we get terminally ill or grow old… hoping that one day we can be thawed out and restored to youthful vigor.

In November 1995, the ITC researcher Maggy Fischbach asked her spiritual mentors, The Seven ethereals, about the science of cryopreservation, and she received a report from Technician:

Walter Elias Disney, the man who produced many cartoon movies on your side, decided in 1969 to have his body frozen. His body was brought into that state when he was still alive. That means that he is not really dead.

Maggy told Technician that she had read about cryogenics, but she had doubts about the possibility of keeping someone alive through freezing. She believed that freezing the carnal body would probably cause death.

Technician replied:

He is not really dead and he is not really alive. Neither is he in the spirit world. He is able to leave his body, but not for a long period nor for any great distance. He is not aware what is happening to him. His state is between life and death.

This ITC contact in Luxembourg has been a little puzzling to me, as there are mixed reports as to whether Walt Disney really had his body frozen.

In any case, Technician’s report clearly describes the problems that can arise from our fear of death in the process of cryonics. The human spirit becomes lost and confused, and remains in that condition until the body is allowed to die… at which time the spirit can move on.

On another occasion we were told by Technician:

Fear of death is one of the most distressing concepts of human culture. It is based on the conscious belief that your bodily existence offers life and security, which it never wants to lose. Fear of death therefore is evidence of the mind having lost its roots. It shows a spiritual being who has far removed itself from its higher self. You owe this mentality largely to an intellectual and scientific way of thinking. It wants all thoughts reduced to a comprehensible level of material existence. Heaven is in man, and those who have heaven within themselves go to heaven. Heaven is in all those who recognize what is of God and let themselves be guided by the Divine. The priority and basic concern of every religion has always been the acknowledgement of God.

We have built-in spiritual blinders (read more about those blinders) that hide our rich spiritual heritage from view (read more on spirit reality) while we walk the Earth… and as a result we get absorbed in the illusion that this carnal lifetime is the ultimate purpose for our existence… and we cling to it desperately.
