Do I need to leave any things in the coffin? Why do the dead bother us? Why do they ask for cigarettes, money or clothes in dreams? Do the dead want to smoke?
Once I was asked a very important question that requires a detailed and detailed commentary. I quote its essence: “You often write that you should not put money and other things in a coffin. But why then does it happen that some people start dreaming about their deceased relatives, who say that they need some things: money, cigarettes or something else? I have heard similar stories many times. I myself once dreamed of my late father and complained that I had to put cigarettes in his coffin …"
To answer this question intelligibly, first I will tell you a little about the content of the famous "Book of Spirits" by Alan Kardek, written over a century ago. This book contains information received by a group of spiritualists in the course of communication with some fairly enlightened souls of people who are no longer with us. Among other diverse information, the book says a lot about the feelings and experiences of souls who have recently left our earthly world. Here are some quotes from the Book of Spirits.
“At the moment of death, the soul at first is not aware of anything. It takes some time for her to recognize herself. The soul is freed from bodily bonds gradually, and does not fly away, like a bird from a cage, suddenly free. For some people, this is done quickly, within a few hours. But for many others, especially those who led an exclusively material and sensual life, liberation is accomplished much more slowly. The time of confusion varies greatly, from several hours to several years. The spirit is amazed, surprised and does not believe its death. Since he sees, hears and thinks, the spirit does not recognize itself as dead. This deception is also supported by the outward appearance of his spiritual body, which preserves the forms of the material body … Gradually, the spirit is purified as the material influences on it decrease. Suffering after deathare always a consequence of the way of life on earth … It is known that after amputation, pain is felt for some time in the already taken away part of the body. Since the cut off part cannot be a place of suffering, the brain simply retained the impression of pain. Likewise, the suffering of the spirit after death is partly similar to the example given. The sufferings of the soul are always associated with its earthly passions and affections. For a person living on earth, the satisfaction of material needs is a source of happiness. But for a soul freed from bodily bonds, the same material needs are a source of torment, since they can no longer be satisfied … "Likewise, the suffering of the spirit after death is partly similar to the example given.

So, for some more or less long period of time after death, the soul is in confusion (or even in a deep state of shock), and does not fully understand what is happening to it now. She visits places that she knew during her lifetime, tries to communicate with people she knows and, most importantly, is not immediately completely relieved of her earthly ideas, habits and addictions. Let's talk about this last circumstance in more detail.
In occultism, there is such a thing as "larva". Larva means energy parasitic creatures that consume the energy of a person who has any addictions. That is, every alcoholic, smoker, drug addict, as well as every person possessed by some kind of passion or idea, is parasitized by his own "larva", which supports the force of habit. Often, even a strong love attachment is actually provoked by the same type of larva. Details about the larva are described in my article: "WHAT IS THE LARVA AND HOW TO GET RID OF IT?" In many religious teachings and spiritual practices, the idea is supported that one should get rid of larva (that is, from strong attachments) during life, since after the death of the physical body this process will be much more painful and painful. After all, painful larvae remain with a person's soul even after his death. In the above-mentioned "Book of Spirits", among other author's illustrations, there is also a picture, which depicts a man with a cigarette in his hand, two chains diverge from his head. Thus, the author depicted the heavy shackles of bad habits that restrain a person's spiritual growth.
For example, it happens that a faint-hearted person ends his earthly life with suicide because of unrequited love or betrayal of a loved one. However, after his death, he will have another “surprise”: the torments of jealousy will be even stronger and longer, only there is nowhere to get away from them! It is neither a dream to forget, nor vodka, nor to climb into a loop. So, "a man hid from problems," right? The same smoker, even after death, really needs cigarettes, but he suffers from the inability to satisfy his need. The presence of cigarettes in the coffin serves the soul as some illusory consolation, although, of course, it does not change anything. For the reasons described above, the souls of deceased people can obsessively dream of relatives who have remained on earth and complain that they need cigarettes, drinks, money (for which they could probably buy something useful), etc. That is why the opinion has appeared among the people that the deceased must be provided with money and some personal belongings before the funeral, which are placed in the coffin.
And now I ask you for special attention! Leaving money and some things in the coffin will not help your soul to calm down its suffering. All the same, she will have to naturally cleanse herself of her earthly attachments, after which the soul freed from heavy "larva" will be able to ascend to the higher worlds. The state of getting rid of the "larvae" accumulated during life is thus the notorious "purgatory". However, the person who left money or his personal belongings in the coffin will certainly create a lot of serious problems for himself. The unshakable principles of sympathetic magic already work here. Let me remind you what I wrote about in the article “Buried Money”: “… There are many examples of such magic, but the principle is the same: what goes into a coffin or a grave is“buried.”Accordingly, if you throw money into the grave with your own hand from your pocket,you "bury" your finances. Your wedding ring in the coffin of your deceased spouse is a very reliable damage to your loneliness. Your photo in a coffin "as a keepsake" is damage to illness. If there is a piece of clothing belonging to a living person in the coffin, the organ or part of the body to which the item corresponded will suffer: give a shirt - to diseases of internal organs, trousers and shoes - to diseases of the legs, a chain with a pendant - neck, throat or chest etc. Therefore, I repeat again: do not put anything in the coffin of a deceased relative at the funeral! Unfortunately, I get the impression that I am the only person who in the mass press tells people about the inadmissibility of such actions … "Your photo in a coffin "as a keepsake" is damage to illness.

Here is a special example. Recently, I had a woman at a reception who put a pack of cigarettes, a bottle of vodka and a can of coffee in the coffin of her late father. And on top of that, she left some money in the coffin. Since then, she suddenly developed an aversion to cigarettes, which, in principle, is not bad. However, she now suffers from an allergy to both alcohol and coffee. And the money, of course, began to leave her.
However, it happens that the deceased too often begins to dream of his earthly relatives and persistently ask for money. In this case, it is permissible to carry a little change to his grave. In practical magic, there is a rather significant section, called "ransom magic" and containing rituals that require leaving some money on the graves. For example, recently I was asked a question about a magic ritual for lack of money, published in a newspaper. The ritual ordered to go to the cemetery with a bouquet of flowers, a loaf of bread, alcoholic and sweet, say a certain conspiracy and throw six coins of the same denomination over the left shoulder, saying: "Paid." They asked me: is such a ritual not dangerous, is it possible to throw money at the cemetery? This ritual belongs to the classic "ransom magic" and does not pose any danger. The thing is,that in such situations you do not “bury” money, but only leave it in a certain place (even if it is a cemetery). But it is quite another matter if you leave money in a coffin or throw it in the grave at a funeral. This is a big mistake that has devastating consequences for your finances.
If the soul of the deceased does not like something, it can disturb its former earthly relatives for some time in dreams. In such cases, it is customary to put candles to the deceased for the peace of the soul. And sometimes the following procedure is practiced: at any next funeral, with the permission of relatives, they put in the coffin what a previously deceased person insistently asks in dreams.
I know a lot of stories about contacts with deceased relatives. Recently, a woman at my reception told me that she had a dream about a great-grandfather whom she had never seen in her life. He was shot dead in 1917, and in a dream he claimed that he knew who his killer was and where he lived. In this case, the soul of the murdered person was stuck for a long time in the "intermediate" period. Heavy earthly emotions keep his soul from a true transition to another world: resentment and a desire to take revenge on a person who has also been gone for a long time in this world. And in one of the letters I was told a story about a deceased girl who in a dream demanded a wedding dress from her mother, because she was "going to get married." Therefore, by the way, it is customary to bury unmarried girls who have reached marriageable age in wedding dresses. But anyway,after a certain period of time, the soul of the deceased completely resigns itself to its new way of existence and gets rid of its earthly sensations, needs, attachments and habits. So, in most of these cases, I recommend limiting yourself to candles for the peace of the soul and waiting for a while. And if in the next dream you find yourself capable of a dialogue controlled by consciousness, try to explain to the deceased that he no longer needs any material things.that he no longer needs any material things.that he no longer needs any material things.
The soul of the deceased needs to completely get rid of its earthly attachments and sensations in order for it to be able to ascend into the world intended for it. The intermediate posthumous stay between the earthly and the spiritual worlds is a "purgatory" for the soul. If you have any contacts with your deceased relative, this means that his soul is still in this very "purgatory". Only the spirit that passes this stage rises into its world and, as a rule, loses interest in its previous earthly habits and deeds. One of my patients told me this story: “After the death of my mother, I dreamed of her for a very long time and obsessively. Some people have repeatedly told me that “my mother is behind me”. Recently, a healer suggested that I perform a ceremony in order to "break the connection between my mother and me."After this ceremony, my mother only once dreamed of me, and she looked very angry and displeased. Now the thought never leaves me: have I done something bad or wrong? " I think this woman did the right thing. As you already understood, it often happens that a deceased person refuses to accept the thought of his new position, and persistently clings to his former earthly attachments, that is, to relatives, habitats, etc. But this state of affairs harms both the relatives of the deceased, who are experiencing the strongest mental stress, and the rebellious soul itself, which cannot rise to higher spheres. The magical rite mentioned in the question is capable of blocking the communication of the soul of a deceased person with his former relatives. And then nothing remains for the soul,how to leave alone previously loved ones and go to the worlds intended for her. Of course, the first reaction of the deceased may be resentment and resentment, but in the future, this situation is beneficial to everyone.
But not always the initiative to communicate with their earthly relatives belongs to the deceased. Somehow they asked the following question: "Is it possible to order a dream in which I could communicate with my deceased parents?" Yes, there are rituals to satisfy such a request, but I will not give them. When you summon the souls of your deceased relatives to communicate in a dream or at spiritualistic seances, you pull them out of the world in which they are now, and pull them to our earthly world. And most often, the souls of deceased relatives, this imposed communication causes at least discomfort, and even serious suffering. Therefore, it is best to leave them alone.
So, I'll answer the question asked in the title: Do the dead want to smoke? Even as they want! Unless, of course, they did not get rid of their tobacco habit during their lifetime. Will the cigarettes left in his coffin help the deceased? Of course not! The same applies to all other material attachments and habits.
Do the dead need money? Of course, they are not needed. Although the souls of deceased people, who are in a state of confusion and illusory consciousness, for some time seriously believe that they could probably buy themselves everything they need if they had money (apparently, in some special supermarket for the deceased). It's just that the souls of the deceased do not always fully understand where they are now and what they are, therefore they continue to think in terms of the material world in which everything you need is bought for money. So they disturb their relatives, complaining to them in their dreams about the lack of money or something else. By the way, this is where the origins of the harmful tradition of leaving money in the coffin lie (not at all to “buy a place in the next world”, but to “buy something useful”). But leaving the objects of the material world in the coffin, relatives will not help the deceased in any way,but on the contrary, they will slow down his liberation and enlightenment, along the way getting multiple problems for themselves.
The deceased does not need money "there", because there are no shops "there"! The deceased will not be able to smoke, look at the watch, get family photos out of his pocket, etc. Losing loved ones, many at the funeral tend to commit some inadequate and, most importantly, harmful acts, being confident that the deceased needs a certain set of things in the afterlife. But, leaving some thing of your own in the coffin, you bury something in your life with your own hands: health, peace of mind, financial well-being or the opportunity to create a new family.
