Traditional Quotes and Symbols
One cannot meet the angel of death because everyone carries it within his body in the form of his skeleton.
690. Body in its deepest sense is not a figural reality, but a state of mind, viz. such a state of mind that limits and exterminates all the other states of mind. Body is an internal wall.
694. When body becomes unlimited, i.e. fully pervaded by the spirit up to a stage where it turns into consciousness, this is called the »resurrection of body« in various traditions. The resurrection of body as body is the conquest of the body as a border.
695. The resurrection of body is but the re-placement of the body onto a grade in the hierarchy, which is appropriate to its original rank.
696. When man turns more and more to the quantitative world rather than himself, then he practically turns to nothing. By losing spirit man kept his soul, which still had some spiritual properties. After this he kept only the body, which still has some pneumatic properties; and slowly he will come to the nothing, which will only have some somatic properties.

708. When life is lacking what is beyond life then death, the complement of life, overcomes life.
709. The after-death dissolution of consciousness is an individualisational annihilation, i.e. in concreto the annihilation of an identification. The annihilation of an identification is the annihilation of the one who identified himself with it.

45. That which is totally »immanent« is the very same as that which is totally transcendent.
64. In the cosmos the spirit manifests itself as light. When Christ says that »I am the light of the cosmos«, it means that He is the light of the cosmos which is beyond the cosmos - that is to say, He is the spirit of the cosmos but this spirit is beyond the cosmos.
72. God creates from himself, in himself and to himself: He creates into himself.
73. Not only can God do anything (omnipotentia) but also He does everything (omniagentia).
74. God is infinitely beautiful because He is infinitely similar to himself.
75. The omnipresence of God does not mean that He is in everything and pervades everything but that everything is in God.
