METAMORPHOSIS: THE TRANSFIGURATION, TRANSMUTATION OR RESURRECTION
IMMORTAL BODY IN "LIFE & TEACHINGS OF THE MASTERS OF THE FAR EAST"

We were then invited by Emil to accompany the group to their home,
about two hundred miles distant, where we would meet Emil's mother.
He went on to say, "My mother is one who has so perfected her body
that she was able to take it with her and go on and receive the
highest teachings. Therefore she is living in the invisible at all
times. She is doing this from choice as she wishes to receive the
highest; and by receiving the highest teaching she is able to greatly
assist us. In order to make this clear to you, I might say that she
has gone on until she has reached the Celestial Realm, as you would
call it, the place where Jesus is. This place is sometimes called the
Seventh Heaven. To you I suppose this suggests the mystery of
mysteries. Let me say that there is no mystery about it. It is a
place in consciousness where every mystery is revealed. Those who
have reached that state of consciousness are outside the mortal
vision but they can return and converse and teach those who are
receptive. They can come in their own bodies, for they have so
perfected their bodies that they can go where they will with them.
They are able to return to earth without reincarnation. Those who
have passed through death are obliged to be reincarnated in order to
return to earth with a body. This body was given to us as a
spiritual, perfect body and we must so see and keep the body in order
to retain it. Those who have left the body and have gone on in spirit
now realize that they must again take up a body and go on and perfect
it."
