To open the graves of our cells
Resuscitate our cells

'It may help you to understand the phenomenon of resurrection if I give you an example. Take the image of a seed: a seed that has been planted in the ground is just like a human being in his grave.
When the angel of warmth comes, he caresses the seed and awakens it, saying: ‘ It’s time to come out of your grave.’ And then the life that lay buried there begins to stir. A tiny shoot divides the seed in two, pushes its way up through the soil, and grows into a magnificent tree. This is resurrection.
But for resurrection to take place, the grave must first be opened, and only heat can open a grave – and by heat I mean love. Those who have a great deal of love in their hearts, a love free of self-interest, a spiritual love, open the graves of their cells.
Human beings have so many rotting, disintegrating cells in their bodies. If they only knew how many graves they are carrying around with them; thousands of tiny graves which must all be broken open. As long as your cells have not been brought back to life, they will remain inactive and you will never know what inner riches you possess. But once they have been awakened, once they have resurrected, your consciousness will expand and you will never be the same again. You will find that you feel and experience everything in another, more spiritual dimension. This renewal can only be achieved by means of heat and damp. Because damp – water – is the substance that serves as a vehicle for life. Water gives life, and heat – fire – gives impulse.'
