52. The Body and the Personality
The Supreme Mind of the Creation is the Source of Wisdom. If you do not seek a bigger wisdom you do not deepen your mind. You do not grow in your own self. A physical body grows, develops, meanwhile your mind begins to lag behind a developed beauty of the physical body. You must understand that the creation is an operating, masterfully designed, system. Therefore, each smaller element of the creation is related with the whole as is the whole related with its smaller element. There is a system only when three and more elements are connected into one whole.
Therefore your own self has a spiritual gift, received from the Father, your personality, that self of yours who must reveal one‘s self thru love and goodness, thru truth and mercy by service in one‘s material body that is very temporary. Your inner self may be eternal if you discover the spirit of the Father within yourselves. Meanwhile, a material vehicle that you call as your body and which is meant for the manifestations of your inner self can never be eternal. A material energy that constitutes the energy vibrations of the low frequency wears out and has to change its form of expression. The flesh disintegrates for no more it has the higher energy vibrations providing life to it and the frequency of the disintegrated body particles drops still lower. That form of energy that has sustained a physical body life has passed to another form which cannot maintain the former life form any more. However, as long as your body receives the energy of the higher vibrations and is being sustained by it that long your inner self must have a feeling that this very self and its physical vehicle, a living vehicle, and the Father make up a system within which each element is mutually interrelated.
The Father bestows the gift of the personality upon each of you, your own self that is a spirit, that is spiritual, and that is eternal. The One who is Eternal bestows that what is also eternal, for He is even the Source of Eternity. Therefore your real self to reveal itself by its true character, by its shining must have some form of its identity. It is this form that constitutes your material, or physical, form which you call as your body. But this body is not your own inner self. It is only your outer form.
