But the body, I suppose, like a lump of coal fulfills its highest function when it is being consumed.
When coal burns it gives off heat.
The body consumed with love gives off heat.
But taken a step further, coal may be used to make gas, an essence, a concentrated, ethereal form of coal.
So with the body. It may burn out simply as heat or physical love. That may be good. But it is also interesting to understand the process whereby the heat of the physical body is transmuted to this other, this different form, concentrated, ethereal, which we refer to in common speech as spirit.
It is all spirit but spirit in different forms.

Oh Blinding Light! Oh Light That Blinds!
I cannot, cannot see.
The Sun's behind the Moon's bright shine.
Who will look out for me?
Look out! Look out that space-hole tube
To see the Eye of God.
You know for sure He's watching you,
His only Lonely Child.
