These subjects are of more vital . interest to · the average . metaphysical student than any oth~r subject that can -possibly be chosen, fo.r this reason: That . the myste ·ry of life and of death is omnipres ·ent :before each · and .every orie of us. The great. mystery as to what becomes of' the sou1 ,a:rt ·er · ·the · body has passed through transition has ·held the miri"ds and attention of thinkers throughout the ages • . --· Our ProtecStant Churche ·s· tell us that when: the body dies it ·1s buried and then .at some last great day ·of judgment there will be a resurrection of the .body .and 1of .the soul together • . · Yet, :nowhere in the Protestant religions ·do we have anything to tell us · just exactly what happens to the sdul and consciousness of man between _.the time of · transition and the judgme .nt •. In ·the . Catholic Church or course; . . .. we have our purgatories .ana ··-our

_limbos. ·

.· It. seems - to rrie that - . the way the orthodox Christian Churches . explain the

__ destiny .. of ·.the soul is one that is con­trary to all reason and logic. They say that the soul is created new and unique-

entire system, a keystone that was re­mo~~a cen tu r ies ago from the theology and doctrine of : the Church. The: teach­~~g~ concerning -Je~us and concerning God

··:fn the _c.Old .Testament cannot be iriter­,'-preted without that particular theology

o~ doct~ine being included. That is the dbctrine of reincarnation.

We note from . our studies of the ·anostic Teachings tt-1at were prevalent throughout the world from the First to the Fourth · centuries, that or:Lginally the Church did teach that the soul lived ·many,. many times, that periodically it w~nt .~nto the ocean of light and stayed Tor a ·pefiod and then returned to l i ve foi ancither ~eriod of incarnation. That .c.arried · out . the symbolism in the Book of Genesis, where it . says, "And on the seventh day God -~nded his work whic ~ he ha-0 made; and he rested on the seventh day from .ail his work which he, -had ma.de." The, .. Sp.me_ . is true . of t he soul. ·· On t he i~v~rith d~y it rests. · It go~s through ~ix . ages or cycles of labors and works to ove~co~e the material things until it reaches its zenith of evolveme nt and will no longer be incarnated and the soul of man .will r~st from its labors. That is also taught in the Kabbala where it says, !!In the suns . they remember but in the planets they forget," because . man loses, that is, . 'i-n most cases, · his . memo;r.y -of the various lives · that he. has lived.

The one who has delved deep .ly into the Mysteries knows that the soul is an eternal and infinite and immortal t h ing.

EASTER He rides, OKing ride on,

And Palms are .strewn on His Way. But soon Fear entered in,

And the Faces are turned away • . Then the world with Hatred, Fear ·

Strove, some fault to find wi t _h our Lord.

They took Him when at prayer,

With the ·Traitor's kiss the world abhOrs.

With Patience, H~ility" ancf Sorrow, His Cross to Ca.lvary ,He bore,

Where crimes of ail crimes was committed, · - .. ~ . . . ., ,-. ~ .

And they cruc .ified ou_"r :Lord.

But the Christ ·e_ver lives itit .h i n~

So th~ third <lay H~ arose from His tomb, With the Crowri of everlasting Life.

And the first EASTER MORN-was born.

It does not attain immortality. It is immortal in the beginning. It may attain an immortal state of oneness with God where it no longer tastes of death, but the soul itself in passing through its various lives or incarnations is a death­less thing.

Wh3.t is death anyway? What is what we call death? That is when we depart from the body, but to th~ soul departure from the body is not death but birth. It is the leaving of a state of de8.,th and the going into a state of life. Remember that the Master Jesus in speaking of life or what we call life, spoke of it often as being death because it is in the grave of the body t:r,at the soul is · buried and by being buried it is shut away from the realm of life wh~ch ls the true life of the soul.

Jesus said tn;is :·· "Let the dead go bury the dead," and 11I go to show the way, after this manner shall ye follow me, 11 because to him what man calls life and living was not true life. The only real life is in the · spiritual state of being. Just as -so many have- rnistalcen the meaning and teaching of the crucifixion of Jesus. They say that 11Jesus died for me. His precious blood he shed .. 11
