After a funeral service, even Truth students mosey back to their cars thinking about their affairs and “getting them in order”. Basically, they do exactly what they should not do – ponder their mortality.
LIFE IS ETERNAL. So when you are faced with the appearance of death, let it trigger a calm consideration of your IMMORTALITY.
As some of you know, my mother’s funeral was this past Monday, and this post by Marie Watts is in her honor and memory.
Do you wonder why it is necessary to perceive more and more completely the Substance and Activity that exists as this Body? It is of the utmost importance for us to know – completely know – just what the Nature of this Body is, because ultimately we must transcend this supposedly inevitable illusion called death. As we have stated before, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. And our knowledge of that which exists as this Body is the POWER of the Presence of eternal Life. And I do not mean life in or as a temporary body.
We know that our Bible presents statements that can only be interpreted to mean that death – or its appearance – will be transcended. For instance we read, “The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” Then too we read that beautiful verse in Revelation 21:4, which says, “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any pain; for the former things are passed away.”
The ultimate perception of the Body is the fact that eternal Life does manifest Itself as Its own Substance in Form (the Body). And the Substance in Form has to be as eternal as is eternal Life Itself.
Anyone who has seemed to lose a loved one through that which is called death, knows that there can be no Love manifested as this experience. This so-called “last enemy” is only the culmination of all the other illusory enemies that appear to precede it, such as birth, sickness, deterioration, etc. If there were such a cruel thing as death, God certainly could not be LOVE. AND GOD IS LOVE.
We have not only the right, but the necessity, to see through and transcend this cruel hoax which has been accepted throughout the ages. When we know – thoroughly know – exactly what is the Substance, Form, and Activity of this Body, that so-called “last enemy” will no longer be feared; nor will it even appear in or as our experience at all. Certainly we are on our way to the revelation of this complete knowledge of the Body.
We can no longer gloss over the illusion that is called death by describing it as “passing on,” making the transition,” etc. It makes no difference what words we may use to describe this horrendous illusion, these words cannot alter the fact that “death” continues to appear to be true, and to be inevitable.
Let us have as much faith in the eternal, birthless, deathless Body as we have in our eternal Soul. Of course we can have more than faith in this eternal Body. Through complete illumination, we can be so convinced of the fact that this eternal Body is the only Body, that nothing can shatter our complete conviction. BUT WE DO HAVE TO REALLY KNOW WHAT COMPRISES THIS BODY, IN ORDER TO EXPERIENCE SUCH ABSOLUTE CONVICTION.
Absolutely Yours
