A man is not just a physical body
The physical body of every living being is a mineral organism made up of refined stones. According to the statements of the Indian mystics described in the Tibetan book "Dzyan", it is a hard rock that has retained the structure of minerals, but has become softer.
Analysis of the composition of the human physical body shows that oxygen makes up 65%, nitrogen 3%, calcium 2%, and phosphorus only 1%. The remaining 1% consists of trace amounts of potassium, sodium, chlorine, magnesium, iron, iodine, fluorine, and silicon. However, none of these elements contain the genius of Leonardo da Vinci or the intellectual superiority of Plato. Even with the correct combination of all the chemical elements, you will not "get a man", since this will only lead to the creation of an inert mass.
Therefore, we must ask ourselves, is the concept of man as a physical body not a mystical abstraction? Is it not more reasonable to regard man himself as that incomprehensible and intangible force which breathes life into the elements and moulds them into instruments for the attainment of its ends?..
For all practical purposes, the human body is a machine—the most perfect in the world. It is capable of functioning with almost incredible precision and is sensitive to every impulse of the will, but, like all mechanical devices, it is composed of material substances—useless unless directed by reason, and inert and powerless unless animated by a conscious Spirit.

The idea that man is merely a physical body which will undergo disintegration after death is, according to the mystics and metaphysicians, untenable. And yet its time is increasingly drawing to an end. Many people, finding no support or answers in the material world, try to find guidance where their feelings and thoughts lead them—the world of ideas and energies.
And despite the fact that such searches are not yet sufficiently structured and conscious, a person, nevertheless, increasingly clearly understands that there is something in him that seems to control the body, but does not belong to him. Mystical Philosophy clearly describes a person as a being in whom the Heavenly interacts with the Earthly. The governing principle in a person is the Spirit. The Spirit is the person himself, the Higher "I", which, having immersed itself in the body, receives the necessary experience of incarnation on Earth.
By connecting his earthly nature in the form of the Soul with the Spirit in his Spiritual Heart, a person "activates" an atomic reactor, whose energy is capable of illuminating and warming the entire World. This activation reveals in consciousness that he or she is a huge conglomerate of energy, whose research capacity is limitless and capable of embracing the entire Universe.
By accepting the idea "I am only a body", anyone acquires exclusively earthly inclinations and needs, serving "a mechanism made of minerals that has come to life for some reason", which essentially consists of earth.
Only by awakening his Divine Nature, a person strives towards the Stars and Planets, Suns and Galaxies, becoming their Brother and Sister in Eternity.
