God's Other Door
This flesh body, is NOT our real body. Our real body is this finer body that
VIBRATES TOO FAST for normal perception. To see it we need to speed up our own
vibration, which we do by praying, meditating, trying to manifest the fruits of
the spirits, or remembering our dreams.
Or we can see it if we encounter someone like Jesus, who can make Himself
visible, tangible, by slowing the vibrations of His finer body to match ours.
Death, as commonly spoken of, is only passing through God's other door.
(Q) At the change called death is the entity free of a physical or material
body?
(A) Free of the material body but not free of matter; only changed in the form
as to matter; and is just as acute to the realms of consciousness as in the
physical or material or carnal body, or more so.
In other words, he's saying that this finer body is good at sensation, good at
perception. Extended perception, if you will. Not blanked out at all.
It is actually still a body, still matter, of atomic structure. But it's moving
faster than our flesh bodies, so we cannot ordinarily see it.
For, as has been given, it is not all of life to live, nor yet all of death to
die. For life and death are one, and only those who will consider the
experience as one may come to understand or comprehend what peace indeed means.
Only when you begin to try to look at life and death as a continuity, a stream
of experience, of consciousness, only then can you begin to deal with peace, in
its essence.
For, when you fear death, life can be a very challenging experience.
Now this will be clarified, but let me restate it. What Edgar Cayce is saying
is that you're going to deal exactly, when you die, with what you create, in
your mind, the world of thought-forms that you build, the attachment, the
thought, the kind of activity you're going to get involved in, the moment you
pass.
….a death in the flesh is a birth into the realm of another experience. To
those who have lived in such a manner as not to be bound by earthly ties.
This does not mean that it does not have its own experience about earth, but
that it has lived such a fullness of life that it must be about its business.
For those who have lived right, it's a birth into another experience, another
dimension.
AND JUST AS WE DIE HERE, WE'RE BORN THERE. AND WE DIE THERE, WE'RE BORN HERE...
It is a door; another of God's doors.
…develop toward that mark of higher calling as is set in Him, for it is not
all of life to live, nor all of death to die; for one is the beginning of the
other, and in the midst of life one is in the midst of death…in death one
begins in that birth into which the earthly application of the inmost intents
and desires as applied in respect to will's forces that given by the Creative
Energy, that one might make self equal with that Energy.
Thoughts
In a reading given on June 16, 1933:
The mind is the builder ever, whether in the spirit or in the flesh. If one's
mind is filled with those things that bespeak of the spirit, that one becomes
spiritual-minded.
As we may find in a material world: Envy, strife, selfishness, greediness,
avarice, are the children of man!
Long suffering, kindness, brotherly love, good deeds, are the children of the
spirit of light.
Choose ye (as it has ever been given) whom ye will serve!
Or as the Buddha puts it:
The thought manifests as the word;
The word manifests as the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into character;
So watch the thought and its ways with care,
And let it spring from love
Born out of concern for all beings…
As the shadow follows the body,
AS WE THINK, SO WE BECOME...
From the Dhammapada
