Transient bodies are only subject to destruction through their substance and not through their form, nor can the essence of their form be destroyed; in this respect, they are permanent.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The body dies, but the spirit that transcends it cannot be touched by death.
Consciousness is our only reprieve from Time.
There is nothing permanent except change.
I know there's a consciousness energy that operates completely independent of the physical body you inhabit, that maintains... awareness after the body's gone.
Psychologically experienced consciousness is therefore no longer pure consciousness; construed Objectively in this way, consciousness itself becomes something transcendent, becomes an event in that spatial world which appears, by virtue of consciousness, to be transcendent.
Hence, even in the domain of natural science the aid of the experimental method becomes indispensable whenever the problem set is the analysis of transient and impermanent phenomena, and not merely the observation of persistent and relatively constant objects.
Hence, wherever we meet with vital phenomena that present the two aspects, physical and psychical there naturally arises a question as to the relations in which these aspects stand to each other.
Even the strongest bonds, flesh and blood, they can just evaporate in a second given the right conditions.
Substance is enduring, form is ephemeral.
I am not the perishable body, but the eternal Self.
