All treasures are contained in matter. Not, however, this physical matter we all know, which is only an illusion, a semblance of matter. This is not true matter. Even chemists and physicists do not know true matter. When they break down matter they are content with merely establishing that it releases energy. In fact, if they had more sophisticated equipment, they would discover that this matter had made way for another kind of matter, finer and more subtle, belonging to another region. However, this is an elemental, ultimate matter which human beings will never succeed in breaking down. Only God Himself can do that. And when the time comes for Him to break down matter, it will return within Him and nothing more will exist. There will be absolute silence, cosmic night. Until that time, the disappearance of matter resembles the disappearance of clouds. You have seen this before: a few white clouds beginning to form in a clear blue sky. Where did they come from? And then a few moments later, they have melted into space. They are all gone. So, they are there and they are not there. In reality it is the density of the matter which changes. Matter itself does not disappear, because it is the complementary pole to the spirit. Even atomic fusion does not make matter disappear.
