Two things go to the grave. The first is the physical body, and the second is the human personality. As we have already said, the latter is formed during the first seven years of infancy and is strengthened with experiences. Sometimes the personality wanders through the cemetery, or leaves its grave when the mourners visit and bring flowers. But the personality soon disintegrates.
The personality is energetic and atomic. The personality is perishable. There is no future for the personality of a dead person, it is mortal.
The personality is not re-incarnated. The personality is a child of its time and dies in its time. What continues is the essence, that is to say, the GHOST OF THE DEAD PERSON. Within the ghost, the RE-INCARNATE EGO, the SELF is found. This is the Legion of Devils which continues. It is a mistake to divide ourselves between two EGOS, one a superior sort and the other inferior: The EGO is a LEGION OF DEVILS, which normally develops within us; that is all.
A lot is said in occultist literature about a SUPERIOR EGO, about a DIVINE EGO, but in fact the so-called SUPERIOR EGO is not an EGO. THE DIVINE BEING transcends EGOISM. That which does not have a profane name is the BEING, the INNER.
The essence is molecular. The essence, the ghost of the dead person normally lives in the Molecular World. On dying we leave the cellular world and enter the Molecular World; in the Molecular World we use a molecular body.
The Tibetan Book of the Dead says the following:
“Oh! Noble by birth.your present body being a body of desire…. is not a body of gross material, so now you have the power to pass through any mass of rocks, hills, boulders, earth, houses, and Mount Meru itself, without meeting any obstacle… you now have the possess the power of miraculous actions, which is not the fruit of any Samadhi, but the power which comes to you naturally…. You can instantaneously be in any place you want; you have the power to get there in the time it takes a man to open and shut his hand. Do not desire the various powers of illusion or of changing form, do not desire them.”
Samael Aun Weor
