Letter 13: DEATH

"Resurrection is not only the triumph of Life over Death, but is moreover the triumph of Life over life. It is the victory of the vertical over the horizontal, of radiation over crystallization. This is why when the women who went to the tomb at the break of day did not find the body of Lord Jesus, the two men who appeared to them in resplendent apparel said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?" (Luke xxiv, 5). Therefore, let us no longer seek amongst the dead for he who is living, and above all let us not seek for immortal Life in the domain of death -- in the domain of the intellect borne by electricity…

It is not phantoms and ghosts which are the source of certainty of survival or immortality. The source of this certainty is found elsewhere. Where then?...in the experience of the kernel of the human being and his relationship with the breath, light and warmth of God." --VT
