cocoon and then he resides within it and in this way the Spirit becomes the physical body.
10. Realize well that the cocoon is not the silkworm. If this is so, likewise the physical body
is not man but merely his cocoon. Just as when the time comes the silkworm breaks out from its
cocoon and flies away. Man, too, when his time has come leaves his body-cocoon and ascends to
the spiritual world. Never assume the death of the physical body to be the death of man.
11. Man Is Life And therefore he will never know death. In accordance with the state of his
mind, the time and his needs, Various conditions may appear in his physical body and
circumstances. Yet Life itself cannot fall ill, Life itself cannot die. By changing your mind, you
may freely change your health and circumstances.
12. Yet the time will finally come when life no longer needs its physical body-cocoon. Life
shall leave its physical body-cocoon and soar on to an even freer realm. Do not mistake this for
the death of man.
13. The essence of man is Life. There can never be death for him.
