You will drink the sun, you will nourish yourself with the sun and you will become immortal, because you will know how to renew yourself

"In mythology the phoenix is a bird of gorgeous plumage, fabled to be the only one of its kind, and to live five or six hundred years in the Arabian desert, after which it burnt itself to ashes on a funeral pile of aromatic twigs ignited by the sun and fanned by its own wings, but only to emerge from its ashes with renewed youth, to live through another cycle of years. Because of this, the phoenix has become the symbol of beings who are very evolved and who, knowing the laws of immortal life, are capable of constantly renewing themselves. These beings have modelled themselves on the sun. Anyone who aspires to immortal life, which is true spiritual life and not an endless prolongation of physical life, must turn to the sun. Only the sun is able to teach them what elements give immortality and what work needs to be done with them. There are three of these elements: light, heat and life. The sun constantly distributes these through space as the expression of divine light, heat and life. The day you come to understand this truth and you prepare yourself to watch the sun rise as if it were the event that surpasses all others, you will drink the sun, you will nourish yourself with the sun and you will become immortal, because you will know how to renew yourself."
