Capsules for burying the dead turned into tree

The Living Force
Quote from the article:
Designers Anna Castelli and Raoul Bretzel from Italy are big fans of trees and from that spawned an idea called "Capsula Mundi" of organic, biodegradable capsules that remains of the deceased turned into nutrients for the growth of trees that would be planted just above the capsule. Instead of headstones, trees sprouted order over all the dead, and one day the cemetery is no longer called cemeteries already "Forest of Memory".

Interesting. Makes much more sense than caskets buried in the earth. It's certainly more aesthetically pleasing and gives the gift that benefits everyone: oxygen. :)
 
I love this! This may sound really weird but my older brother died when I was thirteen, and when I went to visit his grave I felt like it was pointless. I ended up going into the cow pasture behind my house and talking to a weird tree when I missed him. I probably picked it because it was twisty, and curly like in a Tim Burton film, and I had quite the imagination, but I felt like when I talked to the tree that my brother could hear me. It gave me a much different feeling than that gravestone ever did, even tho his remains were there. Anyway I love this idea, maybe just because a forest is much better for everyone in any case, or maybe because of the twisty tree of my childhood. Thanks for posting this, casper. :)
 
Thanks, Casper:

Perhaps the trees retain a bit of the Spirit of the deceased in addition to their own.

Years ago my Mother brought a volunteer silver maple seedling in a pot to us that had come up near her patio. At about this time one of our cats was sick with feline leukemia. The cat, Captain, died shortly thereafter. When we dug the hole to plant the tree we put Captain in first then planted the tree over him.

The tree trunk is now 2 1/2 feet/ 76 cm in diameter. Approximately 60 feet/ 18 m in height. The tree has comforting, vital, soft Spirit. Maybe a bit of Captain is there too.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

We came from the 'ashes' we should go back to ashes, we came from the 'dust' we should go back to 'dust.'

I always thought graves and tombs were just such a selfish thing to do, when the earth is what fed you, why wouldn't you want to feed it? It's the way it's meant to be, it's the cycle of life.

Although, it makes me think of the signification of importance we humans put on the body.

And what use are you in a box, with a stone anyway?

I've been thinking about this lately and I was wondering if perhaps this links into the Lizzie's using bodies to make "duplicates?" Maybe they implemented the practice in the first place, making their slaves give them their bodies for this army of theirs? Just a thought.

Q: (L) Do they ever use dead bodies and re-animate them and then put other souls in them?

A: No. (T): Now, wait now, you're saying some of them... I'm lost now. (TK) Is there a limit to how long they can be dead? (L) They make...

A: For example: a soldier is KIA, his body is duplicated, his soul is replaced into new body, then he is "reprogrammed for service" to aliens and S.G. [Secret Government]

Q: (L) Where does the new body coming from? (TK) Cloned, basically. (SV) I would think so...

A: It is duplicate of old body

Thanks for sharing, casper. Seems like a good idea. :cool:

It reminded me of this recent article on SOTT:

Hi Sparrowkin :)

Gee, I wish I could find the transcript I'm looking for, but I can't! XD

But basically the C's were saying how vegetarianism is a way of almost worshiping the body, how people think that through what they do with their body, they will be able to reach 'God,' when in fact the body is just a machine, and your development doesn't depend on the body but, the soul's potential, and if you're not able to see beyond the body, you're not able to conceive the bigger picture.

The reason I brought this up is again, the idea of the body meaning something other then what it is; A machine. The fact the people think their body needs to be preserve and protected long after they're 'gone,' shows an incredible amount of love for the flesh, for physicality.

So... Sparrowkin, I think there's many reason why the idea of burials were put in place. It's convenient for them any way you look at it.
 
I heard about this a couple years ago on FB and instantly decided that I would prefer to be buried this way, to have my body nourish an oak tree until it grew big and strong. :) Much better than being a corpse in a dingy old casket, or just a pile of ashes in an urn or scattered somewhere into the wind. And having a tree to mark my grave seems much more appealing than a headstone - or perhaps have a tree and a headstone in front of it.
 
Hey Solie, thanks for the input, it adds more dynamic to the question for sure. Its kinda obvious now that you mention it that this is a reflection of the love of the earthly, material body. I think for anyone who reads and subscribes to the concepts put forward in the Old Testament is going to come away with the idea that this body is what counts. The book is chock full of promises of earthly wealth, in gold and land whatever. Since this burial thing (or mummification) is present in all the cultures that can be linked to barbarism, cannibalism, and blood rites in general I just wonder if love of the self isn't the "theological" reason, and the body duplication thing may be the "real, nuts and bolts" reason? Just a thought, though you're right all of these ideas still come back to STS keeping us from developing. Or trying, anyway! ;)

I agree, it's a nice idea :)

Solie, I think you're referring to this session: Session 11 June 2011

I also buried my loving dog Kuki, now at the place where she lies, there's a thorny climbing rosebush
vigilant the garden.
