Course XXI - Teaching 7: Affective Meditation on “Resurrection of Hes”
Hes' resurrection is the hardest meditation subject, but fundamental for the inner life. Six precedent subjects are nothing more than instruments to achieve the mystical rapture of the spiritual resurrection.

As a seed contains the full plant and even all plants that have to be born of it, so Hes exists in the soul, along with all existences that will become from her.
What is bad? What is good? They are two illusions of the imperfect consciousness. It is only Hes that exists by becoming, being again and transforming herself moment by moment.
