The spiritual body pervades the external form

The spiritual body pervades the external form. Bone pervades bone; muscle, muscle; nerve, nerve. The spiritual is a simile of the earthly body. When the earthly dust is brushed off – when it rises into the bright day of immortality – it finds itself the same entity with similar thoughts, desires, passions, affections and emotions. The earth and Spirit-world are similarly related, being intimately blended, without any chasm between them; so that the individual who has obeyed the laws of his nature, passes quietly, as it were, from one room into another, calmly and easily, as the ripened apple falls from its parent stem.
