The Evolution of Immortality, or Suggestions of an Individual Immortality Based Upon Our Organic and Life History (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book examines the potential for an existence beyond what is considered a first life and resurrection from death. The author traces the historical concept of life through an embryological lens, beginning at the point of coalescence between two cells, and continues on through the stages of life from infancy to death, viewing each stage as a death and rebirth into a new stage of consciousness. Using scientific and philosophical principles, the author attempts to demonstrate that the life principle remains essentially the same, while the forms and combinations of matter continuously change throughout the various stages of an organism's life history. The author posits that a spiritual body is an extension of the physical body and is, in turn, replaced by a higher, more complex organism through which the life-force manifests itself. Death is seen as a natural process of shedding limitations, a birthing into a new sphere of being, and a culmination of a stage of existence. The book suggests that the same life-principle that wove into form the individual organism lays it down again when it has served its purpose, and that this life-principle re-enforces the essence of our being through the experiences and acquired consciousness of this stage. The author concludes that life is a unity or continuity of being and that there is no true death, only a series of rebirths into higher expressions of existence. This book offers a unique perspective on life and death and will be of interest to those seeking a deeper understanding of the nature of existence and the possibility of an eternal soul.
