So when autumn comes, the archangel Michael, at the head of the hierarchy of the Malakhim ‘the virtues’, separates the fruit from the tree, and the casing and seed from the fruit... In autumn too, the chaff is separated from the good grain, to be put away in the loft. In the same way, the archangel Michael pulls the human soul from the body, which is its casing. And, in a way, the soul is also placed in the loft, that is to say, in a peaceful place in the invisible world where there are neither mice nor diseases, and where the master of the house watches over it. Later, it will be sown again, in other words, sent to earth to reincarnate.' |
