Only virtue is exempt from death, Emblemata Liber, Boissard

”Sola virtus est funeris expers” (Only virtue is exempt from death)

”Sola virtus est funeris expers” (Only virtue is exempt from death) 850 480 V.M. Kwen Khan Khu

What does all this mean?
It means, esteemed readers, that the only thing that has true meaning in our existence is to live for the BEING and His virtues. The BEING is everything and is capable of defeating death. With the BEING we continue in the region of the dead but enjoying dignity, intelligence, Consciousness and enjoying a fullness that is difficult to define.

But what we must take into account above all, giving it priority in the science that interests us, is the high purifying virtue that fire possesses. Pure principle par excellence and physical manifestation of purity itself, it thus points out its spiritual origin and reveals its divine filiation.
