You Are The Embodiment Of An Idea

[QUOTING]

There is no death. Think again of the monad. What is the monad other than a collection of living atoms, made by the Spirit, by God Himself? The atom is life; the monad is a concentration of life, ignited by the Spirit of God.

This enkindled , composite, cooperating life has an aim; it proceeds from an Idea, a Plan, that is carried out by radiation; by a complex of light-energies. The radiation emanating from the microcosm creates an image of the Idea in the magnetic field of the monad, at the critical point designated for that purpose. This image, in turn, can be nothing else than an assembly of living atoms which, in combination, ought to carry the image, the aim of the Idea into effect. In this way, they form an Embodiment of the Idea.

The flow of the Idea into the Embodiment is the vivifying factor, which is maintained between the Idea and the Embodiment as if by means of light. It follows that the Embodiment, or the image of the living Idea, must be the Great Instrument that carries out the Idea. So, whatever the situation, the body of birth in nature is always God manifested in the flesh, because behind all this boundless activity in the microcosm stands the Spirit of God.

People are accustomed to calling the pronounced intervention of disintegration "death". But in essence, death is nothing else than the stimulation of living metabolism. A body disintegrates into living atoms. The atom itself, the unit in the universe, is never lost; atoms combine to form bodies and then they separate again. Life remains absolute. Death is all in the mind.

Once the radiation of the nucleus is no longer able to control the embodiment, the body disintegrates, and a new one has to be introduced into the microcosm by the reproductive process. This body is then brought to adulthood by the Law of Amalgamation, and then dissolved again by the Law of Disintegration. This body is what we refer to as an "emergency-order body". By this means it is ensured that the monad always has an embodiment at its disposal, so that this image-bearer -- which you are -- might become conscious of its state-of-being, of its calling. Your calling, our calling, is to cooperate once more with the Original Idea of the Logos, and in this way to restore the age-old process.

"Do not be so foolish to suppose", says Hermes so emphatically to Tat, "that there could be any such thing as death". All is Life, one living ocean of atoms. Therefore, every body is Life. And that is why every body also possesses consciousness. And every consciousness possesses a boundless power which, naturally, is Divine. For the atom is Life. And Life is always derived from the Primordial Fount. Since your personality consists of an amalgamation of atoms, the fundamental essence of your being is God. God revealed in the flesh.
