JSR: How can this be? How can one substance be the cause of all bliss, how can the lack of it be the cause of all suffering?

Ezekiel: Prana is like the currency that can be exchanged for everything good, and all capital is based upon Prana. Prana is physical and mental health, Prana is goodness for the body and goodness for the soul, Prana can buy anything—even things one can’t buy with money or capital—and thus one thing can be exchanged for a thousand types of good things. In this world, capital is the shadow and imperfect image of Prana, though Prana takes on many forms—the health of the body, peace in the land, contentment and happiness—all of which can by stolen by others, all of which they steal from one another in hell. But in the heaven worlds one gives and gives Prana and has much more, for one will receive and receive from all the others—all will be rich, no one will be wanting in Prana. And thus six people once realized this, and decided to be a closed system of giving; and they gave to one another, and each gave all he had to every other; and in this way their Prana increased and increased; and they shot off into the heavens and light, and they are travelling on into greater bliss still, for the bliss in the heavens gets greater and greater forever.
