It shall put off mortality, and remain immortal.
So that nothing be lost of the Divine substance.
It was material entity: it shall be spiritual entity.
For there is nothing which can go out from the presence of God.
This is the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead: that is, the transfiguration of the body.
For the body, which is matter, is but the manifestation of spirit: and the Word of God shall transmute it into its inner being.
The will of God is the alchemic crucible: and the dross which is cast therein is matter.
And the dross shall become pure gold, seven times refined; even perfect spirit.
It shall leave behind it nothing: but shall be transformed into the Divine image.
For it is not a new substance: but its alchemic polarity is changed, and it is converted.
