death is an entrance to a higher form of being on a plane where we and our loved ones are inseparable in interspace; and "we advance from age to age and from heights to greater heights forever" If then we are to understand the mysteries of life and death , to see and to know those things of the spiritual realms which are beyond our present perceptions , we must realize the deceptive nature of merely material things. Man is not a body, for that is illusory. Man is a center, a unit of consciousness, imbodied in a garment of temporary flesh. And a human being is really a complex of different kinds of consciousness in which the spiritual self is the binding element ,the invisible core.Our spirit-soul is native to the invisible spiritual worlds and only sojourns here for a while in order to round out its experience and to afford an opportunity for growth to the innumerable less evolved entities, such as life-atoms, which make up its earthly vehicle.This life is an examination for us we won't get anymore chance.
