Resurrection and the Body of Light
Then you can cast off the flesh body through the death process, but without the trauma of dying. You release the light body from its fleshly cocoon. You put on the "robe of light." You no longer cast a shadow because you no longer have a shadow.
John White • Resurrection and the Body of Light
Through the painful process of purification, cleansing, and release, the astral-body and the soul becomes lighter, clearer, more pure.
It redeems itself.
It becomes akin to the divine itself.
