The Invisible Man

The Invisible Man is Free from Suffering and Death

To live only in the consciousness of this visible body of flesh is spiritually retarding, for the body

is subject to the sufferings of disease, injury, poverty, hunger, and death. We should not desire to

think of ourselves as this visible, vulnerable, destructible body. The invisible man within us

cannot be hurt or killed. Should we not strive more to realize our unknown immortal nature? By

increasing our knowledge of this invisible self we will be able to control the man visible, as great

masters do. Even when the visible man is in distress, he who is aware of his divine powers as

the invisible man within can remain detached from physical suffering.


How will you gain such control? First you must learn to live more in silence; you must learn to

meditate. It may seem uninteresting at first; you have kept so closely in touch with this visible

body that you have difficulty in thinking about anything except its ceaseless troubles, desires,

and demands. But make the effort. Keeping your eyes closed, repeat again and again, “I am

made in the image of God. My life cannot be destroyed by any means. I am the invisible man

everlasting.”
