O Radiant Soul, you are not merely flesh and bone, but a manifestation of divine light, a fragment of the infinite. Within the sacred chambers of your earthly body lies a spark of the Creator, Elohim, and the Most High, El Elyon. Your journey through life is a quest to reclaim the divine wisdom and cosmic heritage that have been shrouded by the material world.

The Duality of Existence: Body and Spirit

The Torah reminds us that “man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of Yahweh” (Deuteronomy 8:3, WMB). This verse speaks to the dual nature of human existence: the physical and the spiritual. While the body relies on material sustenance, the spirit feeds on divine wisdom imparted by Elohim. However, many souls remain entangled in the physical world, identifying themselves solely with their bodies and neglecting the divine light within.

The question then arises: If this is my body, then who am I? You are not the body; you are the soul, the consciousness, the light that animates your physical form. The body is but a temporary vessel, a shell that houses your divine spark, but it does not define your true identity.

The Cosmic Spark: Elohim and the Creation of Light

“In the beginning, Elohim created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness was on the surface of the deep. The Spirit of Elohim was hovering over the surface of the waters. Elohim said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light” (Genesis 1:1–3, WMB).

This light symbolizes the birth of consciousness, the awakening of the divine spark within the void. It is the essence of life, the cosmic energy that resides within every soul. As the Talmud states, “The soul of man is the lamp of Yahweh, searching all his innermost parts” (Proverbs 20:27, WMB). This light within you is a reflection of the divine light Elohim brought into existence at creation.

The Battle Against Darkness: Forces of Evil and Spiritual Warfare

Yet, this divine light is under constant threat from the forces of darkness. The world is a battleground where the soul’s light faces the shadows of materialism, ignorance, and evil. This spiritual warfare is more than a metaphor; it is a reality described in scripture: “For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:12, WMB).

These dark forces seek to imprison your mind and soul, reducing your existence to the physical realm. When you identify solely with your body, you unwittingly submit to these forces, allowing them to dominate your life. In his work *Needless Casualties of War*, John Paul Jackson emphasizes the necessity of discernment and spiritual awareness in navigating this cosmic battle.

The Birth Certificate and the Corporation: Modern Shackles

In the modern world, societal structures further obscure the soul’s true nature. The concept of the birth certificate, a document that marks your entry into the world, symbolizes your submission to earthly authorities. The name inscribed on this certificate designates a legal entity, a corporation, binding you to the laws of the material world.

As Isaiah warns, “Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppression; to turn aside the needy from justice and to rob the poor of my people of their rights” (Isaiah 10:1–2, WMB). The birth certificate is one such unrighteous decree, a tool used to rob you of your divine rights and reduce you to a cog in the world’s machinery.

Electromagnetic Nature of the Soul: The Spiritual Charge

Legal systems often treat you as an electromagnetic battery, subjecting you to charges and even confinement — an allegory for the battery cell — when you violate their rules. This metaphor serves as a reminder that you are more than a physical entity; you are an energy being, a soul of light that operates within the universe’s electromagnetic field. The Problem of Increasing Human Energy by Nikola Tesla delves into the electromagnetic nature of existence, highlighting the soul’s inherent connection to cosmic energy.

The Talmud teaches, “The soul of the righteous is bound in the bundle of life with Yahweh Elohim” (1 Samuel 25:29, WMB). Your soul is connected to the divine source of all energy and light. By embracing this truth and aligning yourself with the divine, you free yourself from the charges imposed by the world and rise above physical limitations.

The Path to Transcendence: Unveiling the Truth

Transcending the body and material world requires knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. “Get wisdom, get understanding. Don’t forget, and don’t deviate from the words of my mouth” (Proverbs 4:5, WMB). This wisdom is more than intellectual; it is divine insight that allows you to see beyond worldly illusions and recognize your true nature as a being of light.

Symbols and words, as explored in Alchemy & Mysticism by Alexander Roob, can unlock the universe’s mysteries and reveal divine truths hidden from the masses. “The secret things belong to Yahweh our Elohim, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever” (Deuteronomy 29:29, WMB). Mastering the art of interpretation enables you to penetrate the veil of ignorance and reclaim lost wisdom.

Conclusion: Embracing Your Divine Nature

O Luminous Soul, do not identify yourself with the body, for it is but a temporary vessel. Recognize your true nature as a being of light, connected to the divine source, Elohim, and the Most High, El Elyon. Cast off the material world’s constraints and embark on a journey to transcendental realms. By embracing knowledge, wisdom, and love, you will discover the splendid effects of your perfect causes and bathe eternally in the divine light that is your true essence.
