Part 7: Death and Resurrection

[Hans Rieuwers]

No: HPFGUIDX 174319

May I draw the attention to members to post No. 163788, which I sent 
on January 15th this year? It's reproduced in full underneath.

I'd be the first to admit that my predictions didn't come true 100%. 
However I feel unashamed in owning up to this post and saying 
that "Deathly Hallows" turned out to symbolise exactly what I said it 
would in the post underneath.

"Deathly Hallows was about death and resurrection. Harry went through 
the Gate of Saturn and returned. In "Deathly Hallows" the Gate of 
Saturn is called "King's Cross" - a very symbolic name indeed. It 
turned out not to be the arch with the veil, but the symbolism is 
nevertheless just as clear.

Although Harry did not become Keeper of the Keys, he did have the 
choice at King's Cross of going "on" or returning to save the world 
from Voldemort. That is the choice I was looking for there.

And Harry did not kill Voldemort. Voldemort did that himself because 
of Lily's love flowing in his veins.

On the surface "Harry Potter" is often mundane and even banal, but if 
we look at the symbolism it is ineffably sublime. I believe Jo is the 
radio that is attuned to a divine frequency.

Voldemort.  Harry falls unconscious, and wakes up after three days to 
see Dumbledore smiling at him. He had just got to Harry in time. A 
symbolic death and resurrection.

is fatally poisoned by a basilisk fang. He is literally pulled from 
death by phoenix tears. A symbolic death and resurrection.

a Dementor when a Patronus sent by his future self saves him. Death 
and resurrection.

second time. He is saved by his own immense willpower, which is 
greater than Voldemort's. Death and resurrection.

driving out Voldemort with Harry's love for Sirius. Death and 
resurrection.

Dumbledore saves him with his circle of fire. Death and resurrection.

be any different? It's one septology; one story. Part 7 will be about 
death and resurrection. And Love, as are all the others.

all know the phoenix is the greatest symbol of them all, and the fact 
that he belongs to Dumbledore should make us very certain indeed! 
>    
>   Sirius is also an extremely powerful symbol of the resurrection. 
To the ancient Egyptians Sirius was the symbol of the resurrection of 
life in midsummer. When it appeared as the morning star, it meant the 
Nile would flood, bringing fertility and life renewal.
>    
>   Fluffy, too, is a symbol of resurrection, because in Part 1 its 
presence is telling us that we are seeing Cerberus in the myth of 
Orpheus. Just like Harry, he played a musical instrument to lull the 
three headed dog, and, just like Harry, he came OUT of the 
underworld, the world of the dead. Death and resurrection!
>    
>   Then there is the great similarity to The Alchemical Wedding of 
Christian Rosycross, published in 1616, another story of death and 
resurrection. Please note that in both books a phoenix is present at 
a funeral! And the Dark Mark is also present in both books. It is the 
symbol for eternal life; in Harry Potter misused by Voldemort for his 
quest for immortality at the expense of others.
>    
>   One of the most obvious clues in Harry Potter is the similarity 
of Harry's basic story to that of Jesus:
>    
>   A prophecy is made that a baby will be born who will change the 
world. The baby is born and a star appears to announce his birth. 
When the king of this world hears about the birth he tries to have 
the baby killed, but fails. The child grows up in wisdom and in 
stature, and in favour with God and man. He performs miracles at a 
young age. But as he grows older he knows he will have to meet his 
arch-enemy: Satan.
>    
>   We all know that story - that's the story of Jesus. But it's also 
the story of Harry Potter. In Harry's case the star is Sirius, who 
becomes his God-Father. (In ancient Egypt Sirius announced the birth 
of Horus). At a young age Harry saves many lives, wins battles 
against dragons and giant snakes, and dodges death by Voldemort time 
and again. 
>    
>   The story is basically so similar to that of Jesus we can easily 
see that it will end the same way as Jesus' story. Just as Jesus died 
to save the world, so Harry will lay down his life for the wizarding 
world. But just as Jesus rose from the dead after three days, so will 
Harry. 
>    
>   How will Harry do this? I think Harry will go through the arch 
with the veil in the Department of Mysteries. In the ancient 
spiritual traditions which Jo is following, this gateway is called 
the Gate of Saturn. 
>   I believe the scar which Voldemort gave Harry when Voldemort 
tried to kill him is a Horcrux. Harry will realise this, and, after 
killing the other 5 Horcruxes, will enter the Gate of Saturn to 
sacrifice himself, making Voldemort mortal. 
>    
>   Harry will meet Sirius there. Without the last Horcrux, he will 
then return through the arch with the veil, and confront the mortal 
Voldemort. I don't believe Harry will kill Voldemort. Harry will 
learn in Part 7 of the Septology that love cannot kill. In the power 
of that force Voldemort will dissipate like a puff of smoke. 
>    
>   I believe that the 7 trials in Part 1 are clues to Part 7. Just 
as Love saves Harry in his confrontation with Voldemort in Part 1, so 
it will in Part 7. I believe Lily is connected with the Room of Love, 
which will be opened in Part 7. 
>    
>   The Alchemical Wedding of Christian Rosycross, also features a 
Room of Love, called "The Sepulchre of Venus". Christian Rosycross 
enters the Sepulchre and sees Venus, i.e. Love, in all its naked 
beauty. This fills him with compassion for suffering humanity and so 
this makes him come back to be gatekeeper of the castle. I believe 
that there is a strong probability that Harry will also do a similar 
thing, and become gatekeeper (or "Keeper of the Keys"), taking 
Hagrid's place.
>    
>   One further clue to what Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 
will be about is the titles of the seven parts. They conform to the 
seven elements out of which all of creation is made.
>   1. Earth: Stone
>   2. Air: Chamber
>   3. Water: Azkaban (Island)
>   4. Fire: Fire
>   5. Quintessence: Phoenix 
>   6. Soul: Blood
>   7. Spirit: Hallow (Holy)
>    
>   On my website I have explained the above elements and how they 
are symbolised. See 
http://www.harrypotterforseekers.com/book7/prognosis.php#clue1
>    
>   What this means is that Part 7 will take place in the ineffable 
plane of the Spirit, which is holy. The Spirit is the lord and 
creator of Life. In His presence any kind of death is unreal and is 
therefore followed by an inevitable resurrection.
