Tomb or Temple?

The personality, with its four vehicles (the physical, etheric, emotional and mental bodies) can be either a tomb or a temple.

It can be a tomb when the human-being does nothing to awaken the Divine nucleus that sleeps within the center of the microcosm. The Divine part of the human-being lies buried, unable to express itself in ths nature-order.

It can be, and should be, a temple when the human-being recognizes that he must awaken this Spark of Infinity if he/she wants to take up his/her cross and walk the liberating gnostic Path of Return. Then the personality provides a refuge for the Divine Atom. The personality will nourish and protect the fledgling spark of Light as it matures in its duty to purify the microcosm. Which is as it should be. 

Man was given a temporary body for the very special purpose of freeing the Divine nucleus within us. If we are not attending to that duty, then we have turned our Temple into a Tomb.
