Lesson Behind This Quote
This quote is taken from the beginning of Book of Jehovih, the third book in OAHSPE.
It starts by describing the existence of a “primordial world,” which may well be considered the Creator Himself. This original world is said to consist of two fundamental elements: the invisible world (the Unseen) and the visible world (the Seen).
One point worth noting is the claim that the visible world is inherently powerless. This is because, in the physical world, all things are bound by physical laws and can only act within visible limits. In contrast, the invisible world has no such constraints. Together, these two realms form the foundation of existence.
The Creator used both elements to make all forms of life. In other words, life is composed of the soul (unseen) and the body (seen). If we take humans as an example, we may not be able to see the soul, but we can sense it. Qualities like personality or conscience are invisible, yet we know they exist. These aspects are not tied to the physical body but are housed within the soul.
While the body operates under physical laws, the soul is not bound by such limitations. When the body ceases to function—that is, at death—the soul departs. Typically, the soul ascends to the heavens for what OAHSPE calls the “first resurrection.” However, if the person remains attached to earthly life or is unaware of their own death, the soul may linger in this world. Souls consumed by hatred at the time of death may even be drawn into hell and become unable to ascend.
This physical world we live in is one where we must follow the laws of matter—a “world of limitation.” It’s important to remain conscious of this truth.
So why does such a limited world exist?
The answer may lie in contrast. Just as darkness allows us to appreciate light, limitation helps us understand and value freedom. In other words, it is precisely because the material world is restrictive that we can truly grasp the beauty and meaning of the spiritual world, where all things are free.
