The mind dictates the model according to which the body shall be manifested. Each individual is just what he believes he is. Waiting for death in order to get a new body is the folly of ignorance. To be resurrected means to get out of the place that you are in and to Page 120 get into another place. It is absurd to suppose that it applies only to the resuscitation of a dead body.
Death is swallowed up in victory.
This transformation is worked out by the individual himself, and is not the result of physical death but rather of the death or annihilation of the erroneous beliefs that ignorance has stored in the cells of the body. It is first a mental resurrection, followed by a body demonstration. It is the privilege of the individual to express any type of body that he sees fit to ideate. Man may become a Christ in mind and in body by incorporating into his every thought the ideas given to the world by Jesus. But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.
