I'm no Jew, but I took a gander at this article, and I'm thinking to myself: "ok, is it just me or is something else being implied by the quoted scripture." (I've never read the Talmud)

"Our decomposed bodies will be flushed with the “Dew of Resurrection,” a sort of yeast of rebirth. Our bodies will then reform around a bone in the spine called the luz, which is generally considered to be the coccyx. We make time toward Israel to hook up with our souls. "

First off, as is taught in a few esoteric books, and primarily now in the writings of Samael Aun Weor, the tradition of kundalini yoga entails that the coccyx bone is the base of the spine from which the fire of kundalini is said to emerge, rise, awaken chakras, and form the foundation of what is to be the regeneration of the body, among other things implied such as immortality and the creation of the soul (being "born-again", hence rebirth, a process which requires time). There is alot of material in his books which suggest that differing people's of every age are like organisms which are born, live, reach an apex, and then degenerate (both physicly and socio-religiously as a group), thus if the quote is taken into context of meaning: 'the people of this age', 'whose bodies are degenerated as opposed to ages passed', then it might not be implicative of zombies or anything of the sort.

Next, alot of credible referrence to the bible is given for alot of the points listed. The author I mentioned makes a strong contention that Christianity, in it's original context was 100% Gnosticism, and as such, was eradicated (from public view) by persecution from "the church". Being Jews, I hope no offense is stirred by refferencing the New Testament in part, but nonetheless I find it most relevant to the topic:

Jesus lived for 33 years, and there are 33 vertebrae in the spinal column (through which the fire at the base, or coccyx supposably rises). Jesus died on a hill named Golgotha (place of the skull). In kundalini yoga, the fire at the base rises successively to each vertebrae until it reaches 'the skull', the head, the brain which is the seat of the soul (as I have heard). Jesus Christ, translated literally means Savior (Hebrew, Yeshuah) Light and Fire (Greek, Chrestos). So the Gnostics, when examining the life of Jesus, find that as a man he is also simultaneously the corporeally manifested esoteric symbol of a microcosmic paradigm which exists within each individual (i.e. the light and fire at the base of the spine), who when risen up on the cross (the spine, pole) to be sacrificed, represents the nehusthan of Moses, as is written in the New Testament (which likewise is an exoteric form of the esoteric practice of kundalini yoga, hidden within the Kabbalah). The author suggests that words such as: 'faith', 'chastity', 'belief', and 'virginity' have deeper connotations (esoteric and otherwise) which can, for instance be traced to their Latin root origins. Making their use in the bible vague and incomplete (I.e. believing in Jesus Christ entails works, complete investment of oneself out of love, not unlike what is claimed in James 2:26).

But since I see Easter also being mentioned, I'll touch on that as well, as it's completely relevant. Some historians believe Easter is a translation of Germanic and Babylonian words: 'Astara', or 'Ishtaar'. So what does Easter have to do with Isthar? Why do people paint easter eggs and observe a bunny to celebrate the ressurrection? Because before the Babylonian religion which heralded Ishtar became "degenerated", the fertility eggs and easter bunny were an extension of the fertility tradition which was kundalini yoga. The process to birth a child of the sun (hence the virgin birth).

Personally, after reviewing alot of bible verses, I've picked out some ones I think are either misinterpereted by Orthodoxy/Fundamentalism, or are altogether ignored, which completely support the details of what I've learned from SAW's books:
