7. Divine Soul is an electrical current
The True Soul is the Divine Soul emanated from the Supreme Ultimate (Thái Cực). Therefore, the clarity and enlightenment of the Third Body are none other than the radiance of the Subpreme Being Himself.
The original form of the Third Body is an electrical current composed of cells, where electrons represent only one negative and one positive charge. That current eternally abides in the Thirty-Six Heavens, and descends to unite with the True Spirit, enabling the Second Body to assume mastery over its First Body. More plainly stated, the Divine Soul governs the Awakened Soul in order to restrain the Animating Soul.
When the First Body is pure and the Second Body tranquil, only then can the Third Body reach the Ni-huờn Palace and open the Mystic Luminous Aperture, a state commonly called attaining the Dao while still in the world.
Whenever one meditates deeply and enters absorption, clearly penetrating the wondrous principle, that is the moment when the Third Body has arrived.
For this reason, the primordial beings, from the very moment of descending into the world, were drawn astray by the First Body; the Second Body must pass through reincarnation, leaving the Third Body occupied with guidance while its celestial station remains vacant.
Once sufficient merit is established and virtue fully cultivated, the Third Body ascends in rank according to its karmic works. Upon returning to the Eternal Divine Realm, the True Soul and the True Spirit are united as one and enthroned upon the Lotus Seat, which is the fruition wrought by the labors of the Animating Soul. This is called the reunion into the Original Source, or the attainment of one’s divine station.
This Great Amnesty arises because the True Spirit is pacified by the Buddha Mother after its return, thus allowing the True Soul to reunite and return to its former station — this refers to those True Souls that had not yet established a rank but attained enlightenment before their final departure.
As for transgressions, depending on their gravity, one must undergo corresponding reincarnations; but in cases of broken sacred vows, one must be sent to the "Phong Đô" to pacify the True Spirit.
Being struck down by the Five Thunders occurs when the energetic current of the True Soul is shattered, rendering it unable to unite with the True Spirit; thus that True Soul must wander astray, awaiting the amnesty granted by the Buddha Mother to the True Spirit before it may reincarnate, repay its karmic debt, and establish merit.
When the True Spirit is shattered, causing the True Soul to fall into disarray, the Buddha Mother withdraws the Yin Light.
If one falls utterly into the Three Evil Paths, unable to escape the secular realm due to violation of the Heavenly Ordinance, the True Soul is barred and cannot reunite with the True Spirit, forcing the Second Body to reincarnate again, from the realm of metal and stone up through animal forms until human birth, and it must complete three full cycles before merit may be undertaken anew.
Why must transgression be punished by descent even to the realm of metal and stone?
When an incarnated being commits grave sins, it may fall into the demon state; but when a primordial being commits transgression, it must suffer severe degradation, only thus can its punishment be commensurate with that of the demon realm.
This is the law ordained by the Heavenly Decree; whether primordial or incarnated, all are subject to the same form of punishment — such is the principle of divine justice.
The Supreme Ultimate contains only yang particles; why then does the True Soul possess both yang and yin?
The True Soul bears both yang and yin because it is formed from the united energies of the Two Principles (Lưỡng Nghi); whereas the Supreme Ultimate is the realm of pure yang.
From where do these yin particles arise?
Yin particles arise from the transformations of the Twelve Earthly Branches; they are the primordial source of the energy of Emptiness. When the Buddha Mother unites the Ten Heavenly Stems with the Twelve Earthly Branches and breathes into them the yin current, the True Spirit is thereby formed. Only after the Two Principles separate do the energies of the Five Elements come into being.
