FLESH IN WHICH IS LIFE
Symbolic of the lower nature in which the Spirit
is involved.
"And behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon the earth, to
destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven;
everything that is in the earth shall die." - GENESIS. vi. 17.
From the Logos there issues forth an outpouring of truth which is to
confound the lower mental nature and overwhelm falsity. This
"destroying of all flesh" permits the new interpretation of life
which is to be given through the interior revelation of the Spirit.
The Spirit is involved in the lower nature of the soul, in mind and
desire, and it is not liberated until life is known no more after
the "flesh" but after the Spirit. Everything of the lower nature
must die, i.e. end, since it is a condition of limitation.
"The spirit of man is—not shall be—eternally one with God, eternally
pure and beautiful and good; we are here to make that truth sublime
by manifesting it in the teeth of the direst odds. For a brief hour
we are shut away from the full knowledge of what we are; the
limitations of the flesh press hard upon us; we have to know fear,
and pain, and conflict, that the eternal splendour may be revealed."
- R. J. CAMPBELL, Serm., The Flesh Transfigured.
