And then I begin to expand, discovering more and more of myself which would be impossible if that greater had not become me. I hope that is clear tonight. And whatever I said in answer to my friend Jack’s question that confused a few of you, I regret it, but I hope this has made it clearer. So there are two births, one death. The death is not when my father so-called died; he didn’t die to himself. He died to the family who he left behind him, but he did not die to himself. He was instantly restored to life in a body same as before only new, unaccountably new, terrestrial world, same as before, and new and young, twenty years old. So to him he didn’t die…and he didn’t. The death has taken place: “I have been crucified with Christ”—that was the death. But now comes birth here in this section of time; the most important thing is birth in this world…that’s the first birth. Then comes the second, which is different, it is “from above”; for God is Spirit, and if I would be born as God, I must be born as Spirit, not as flesh and blood. “For that which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of Spirit is spirit”. So there are two births, but one death.749 ¶39
