The Temple Not Made With Hands

[LorrB]

Man's good works do not pass unrecorded. They are the energies that he uses to build the "temple not made with hands," the Causal body. In each incarnation Man is alloted a certain amount of energy; this is his capital, so to speak, which if used rightly in accord with divine laws and rules in investing and building constructive and creative projects of the Soul, he would prosper well. Energies rightly used acquire a greater value and are deposited into the Causal body, the cosmic bank. These energies are our spiritual treasures that we lay in heaven. When Man passes through transition he takes away nothing along with him accept his karmic deeds, his experiences, memories, and his newly attained stage of soul development. Each incarnation never fail to beautify and glorify the Causal body, for in each embodiment Man does perform some works of righteous, beauty, and love, no matter how far he has strayed from the path of Truth.

Man's good works do not pass unrecorded. (The Overseers) They are the energies that he uses to build the "temple not made with hands," the Causal body. In each incarnation Man is alloted a certain amount of energy (Mark); this is his capital, so to speak, which if used rightly (Mark well) in accord with divine laws and rules in investing and building constructive and creative projects of the Soul, he would prosper well (that profit and pleasure may be the result). Energies rightly used acquire a greater value (greater service in his Holy Temple) and are deposited into the Causal body, the cosmic bank. These energies are our spiritual treasures that we lay in heaven. When Man passes through transition (closes the lodge after all have had their due) he takes away nothing along with him accept his karmic deeds, his experiences, memories, and his newly attained stage of soul development. Each incarnation (every time the lodge is opened) never fail to beautify and glorify the Causal body, for in each embodiment Man does perform some works of righteous, beauty, and love, no matter how far he has strayed from the path of Truth.

Not too sure about the last bit, except to equate it with THAT which is still lost, but soon will be found.

The temple extends from east to west, north to south and from the centre/surface of the Earth to the heavens.

This reminds us of the Heavenly Man whose body is the solar system

>As above, so below?

I read it to mean that the Freemasons' lodge is established as part of the Temple in the Heavens as well as being in the symbolic image of that Temple.
