When the visible world perisheth, then all that hath come out of it, and
hath been external, shall perish with it. There shall remain of the
World only the crystalline Nature and Form, and of Man also only the
spiritual Earth, for Man shall be then wholly like the crystalline
World, which as yet is hidden.

Shall all then have eternal joy and glorification alike?

MASTER

St Paul saith: In the Resurrection one shall differ from another in

they have endured in this life with different measures and degrees of
power and virtue in their painful workings.

of the spiritual Body, and a separation of the World, when the Evil
shall be separated from the Good, in the substance of the World, and of
the human Body, and everything enter into its eternal receptacle. And
thus it is a manifestation of the Mystery of God in every substance and
life.

MASTER

Here consider the words of Christ. He will say to those on his right
hand; _Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for
you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and ye gave me
meat; I was thirsty and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger and ye took
me in; naked and ye clothed me. I was sick and ye visited me, in prison
and ye came unto me._

_Then shall they answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry,
thirsty, a stranger, naked, sick, or in prison, and ministered thus unto
thee?_

Then shall the King answer and say unto them; _Inasmuch as ye have done
it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have don
