if flesh gives birth to flesh and spirit gives birth to spirit; and self recognizes they are spirit and the carnal perishes, will the mind remain eternal?

My understanding is that triangle of soul-spirit-mind is eternal attribute.

body in this context would be like matter, or amorphous, and not a form. something fluid, like genesis description of the earth without form and the waters before.


John 3:5


"64 "If ye hasten to fly out of Egypt, and repair beyond the Red Sea into the wilderness," that is, from earthly intercourse to the Jerusalem above, which is the mother of the living;65 "If, moreover, again you return into Egypt," that is, into earthly intercourse,66 "ye shall die as men." For mortal, he says, is every generation below, but immortal that which is begotten above, for it is born of water only, and of spirit, being spiritual, not carnal. But what (is born) below is carnal, that is, he says, what is written. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the spirit is spirit."67

All these qualities, however-rational, and psychical, and earthly-have, (the Naassene) says, retired and descended into one man simultaneously-Jesus,13 who was born of Mary. And these three men (the Naassene) says, are in the habit of speaking (through Jesus) at the same time together, each from their own proper substances to those peculiarly their own. For, according to these, there are three kinds of all existent things-angelic, psychical, earthly; and there are three churches-angelic, psychical, earthly; and the names of these are elect, called, captive.
