the dissolution stages of the elements [RY]

the stages of the dissolving of the elements [At the time of death the elements of flesh, blood, heat, and breath one by one dissolving is the order of dissolution of the four coarse elements. By the earth element dissolving into water external sign is that the body cannot move and the eye does not see forms, the internal sign is the arising of an appearance like smoke. By the dissolving of the water element into fire, the external sign is that all the body's moist parts become dried up and the ear does not hear sounds. The inner sign is the arising of appearance like a mirage. With the dissolving of the fire element into wind the external sign is that the body's heat subsides and the nose no longer smells scents. the internal sign is the arising of an appearance like fireflies. With wind dissolving into consciousness the external sign is that one cannot collect the breath inwardly and the body does not feel touchables. The internal sign is an appearance like that of a lamp disturbed by wind] [IW]
