THE DIAMOND BODY
THE DIAMOND BODY & MERKABAH MYSTICISM
According to most creation stories, out of primal Nothingness, the All or Everything emerges or emanates. Paradoxically, everything seems to come from nothing. How does nothing become something? Energy "crystallizes" into matter in the womb of empty space, a dynamic Void. Mass is simply a form of energy. This process is structured by an underlying, invisible, geometrical lattice. Actually, it is pre-geometric. Because it has no true physical existence, it is metaphysical (beyond physics). This threshold of matter, where nothing becomes something, is of great philosophical interest.

I could also list updated news about my site's topic. For example, if my site were about a particular sport, I'd could discuss the outcome of a recent competition.
THE DIAMOND BODY
"IT WAS A MINERAL SUBSTANCE, DENSE AND OPAQUE; IT WAS MELTED AND BECAME TRANSPARENT GLASS AND THEN BECAME MUCH FINER GLASS. aND THEN THIS LATTER HAD BEEN SUBJECTED FOR THE FIRST TIME TO FUSION AND PROJECTION OF THE WHITE ELIXER, IT BECAME INCANDESCENT CRYSTAL.
It was fused a second time and the Elixer was prjected on it; it became diamond. Place it on the anvil, strike it with a hammer, it will dent the anvil and the hammer but it will not break. Strike it with a piece of lead and it will break into cubiforrm fragments. That is the true sign that it really is diamond, but if it has become diamond it is also a sign that the diamond was hidden in the essential depths of the mineral substance, because, in fact, the composition of the latter is the result of two well-known principles, mercury and sulpher, according to what is establishe din physics.
And this diamond, separated from the crystal, this crystal separated from the glass, this glass separated from its mineral opacity, is homologous to the 'Resurrection Body' of the faithful believeer in the Paradise of the future Aeon, the essential archetypal body, the corpus supra coeleste, the 'diamond body'."
