| Many religions, Christianity being a prime example, declare that God sits in heaven, unapproachable except by faith, prayer, death, or the intervention of saints. Yet this dualism falls apart once we heal the divisions between body, mind, and spirit. Duality is another word for separation, and in the state of separation, many illusions crop up. Steam and ice, sunlight and electricity, bone and blood are examples of things that seem totally different until you know the laws of transformation, which turn one form into another. This holds true for body and soul as well. In separation they cannot be more different, until you find the laws that transform invisible, immortal, uncreated spirit into flesh. |
I paraphrased the underlined part as follows.
" When body and soul is separated, if you find the laws that transform spirit into flesh, body and soul will be different. "
What do you think of my paraphrasing?
If it's not correct, please correct it.
Thanks. |

I think it's more like:
"If you believe in separation, then body and soul are very very different, almost opposites, but if you find out the laws that transform body into flesh then you understand that body and soul are...
not very different or aspects of the same thing "
The important point is that the imagined difference disappears when you know the laws.
Hope helps,
Ian
