The Fate of Mankind
Chapter 30
Death as "resurrection"
As already mentioned, sorrow and the fear of death or dying are quite unfounded. Besides the physical body that the individual loses at death, he has five other bodies. From this point life goes on towards even more perfect planes of existence in the spiritual regions while the spiritual preparation for the creation of a new physical body is in process. When the creation of the embryo of the new physical body is complete and it has thereby become mature enough to begin sustaining the consciousness, birth occurs and the individual again begins to become conscious on the physical plane. And the I, incarnated in the new physical body, finds itself once again able to communicate in the physical world. But instead of the old, worn out body that it left at the time of its physical death, it now finds itself, in so far as its death and spiritual existence have been normal, in a new, glorified body dedicated to youth and beauty, to love and passion, to life and work.
      As death, just like birth, cannot exist without meaning the entrance to new life, it will, under all circumstances, be identical with "resurrection" or the realistic manifestation that expresses the I's all-outshining radiant power over material, its mastery of life and the rendering visible of its eternal, elevated or divine imperishability.
