Well matter perishes on physical death but consciousness cannot because it is energy and energy cannot be destroyed. Our mind is who we really are and because it is energy it cannot be destroyed. This means it is possible to communicate with those who once lived on the earth plane.
What we have consistently been told is satan does not exist, however there are people who have passed over who are low spiritual beings. They inhabit a plane closer to our earth plane and can have a negative influence on those who are cruel, cold, power hungry and very materialistic.
