Hi, here's Hans.
I think the message you're referring to is 85249. (Nov. 17, 2003). However my theory on the significance of Harry Potter is not based on mythology or heroic traditions. It's based on my theory of the cause and purpose of life in this three-dimensional world of suffering. My point is that in order for the eternal, immortal Self to be born and come to full consciousness in the earthly human being, the latter has to die. However this is not a bodily death but the willing and joyful self-sacrifice of an imperfect, temporary consciousness in favour of a divine, eternal consciousness. Harry symbolizes the person engaged in this process.
 
I quote here post 85249. 
>>>>>>>Harry will die. There's no doubt whatsoever in my mind. However his death will not be a sad, final death with lots of heartbreak and bereavement. His death will lead to a resurrection in an indestructible, immortal body of mind-boggling majesty and splendour. His death will give hope to millions that there's more to life than birth, food, sex, and death. It will give hope that life has a wonderful and glorious purpose, namely liberation from this vale of suffering and return as the prodigal son to the Father's House.

How JK Rowling will put all this into words is impossible to say. Life in the Kingdom of Love is impossible to describe. It's multidimensional. We
have nothing in our universe to compare it with. It's like trying to explain to two dimensional people in a film what the third dimension is like. They know only about height and width. Depth is a concept they could never understand.

I think she will describe Harry's reunion with the Father in abstract terms of hope and love and light.

Some of you may wonder how I can be so sure about all this. It's quite simple. All my life I have sought for the Path of Liberation. When you desire something deeply all your attention is focused on it and so you begin to see the patterns. The patterns of liberation can be seen in all the great Holy Scriptures, in fairy tales, in myths, and in much great literature, for example Shakespeare and Dante. And, as I have repeatedly said, in the Alchymical Wedding of Christian Rosencreutz. What I have learnt from the patterns is that the seeker for liberation dies as to his earthly, three dimensional self, to resurge as the butterfly does from the cocoon in a new life form with infinitely greater beauty and freedom of movement.

Harry will pass through the archway. This is called the Gate of Saturn in the alchemical traditions. But having passed through, he will become a Bodhisattva. That is a Master of Compassion, a being so filled with love and compassion for his fellow human beings that he regards life with the Father as of secondary importance, and so returns to work for the liberation of others.

I have the supreme confidence in JK Rowling that she will be able to write Harry's end in such a way, that although there will not be a dry eye left on earth, humanity will be left with Hope and Love of such magnitude that it will change the world. <<<<<<<<<
 
Warm regards to all,
