II. Esoteric Christianity

The human being will continue to work upon himself. The Earth will pass through further incarnations and humanity will acquire by degrees the capacity—which today can be acquired by the initiate—of working also upon the ether body. It is true the average man today is already working upon his ether body and that part of it which is transformed into a product of the ego is called Budhi or Life-Spirit. He will finally reach the point where, by means of his ego, he will transform his physical body also. That part of the physical body which is transformed by the ego is called Atman or Spirit-Man.
