”The body is not an entity,
for it is merely an aggregation of cells,
and these cells are merely material vehicles
for a certain form of energy which animates and vitalizes them.
When the soul passes from the body,
the units composing the body
manifest repulsion for each other,
in place of the attraction
which formerly held them together.
The unifying force which has held them together
withdraws its power,
and the reverse activity is manifested.
As a writer has well said:
“The body is never more alive than when it is dead.”
William Walker Atkinson
