from Jesus:
There is no spiritual reason
to put the body on ice before cremation. Obviously, there is a practical
reason to do this. The soul separates from the body shortly after death,
usually immediately after death, and therefore it feels no pain or discomfort
from whatever happens to the physical body. So the soul does not feel
any kind of discomfort from the cremation of the body.
However, let me state very clearly that we of the Ascended Host strongly
recommend that all bodies are cremated. The reason being that it decreases
the risk that the soul will remain emotionally attached to the body
and be unable to move into the light. Obviously, for spiritually-inclined
souls this is not a problem. Yet for souls who are emotionally attached
to the body, it is less likely that they will remain attached to the
body after the body is cremated. Seeing the body cremated gives the
soul a sense of finality and closure, a sense that it cannot go back
and therefore it is time to move on.
There are certain cultures or religions who believe in the actual resurrection
of a particular physical body, and this can cause souls to remain attached
to that body. This can make it more difficult for these souls to enter
the light and the spiritual realm. One example of this is the ancient
Egyptian culture, in which bodies were mummified. Such a practice is
strongly discouraged by the Ascended Host.
Cremation, therefore, is a process which is important from a spiritual
perspective. Obviously, it also has some important practical advantages,
and therefore it would be highly beneficial if every deceased body was
cremated.
