"A human being may become hundreds or even thousands of years old when he has reached a certain spiritual and consciousness-related state of relative perfection and a correspondingly high and sound way of living. But after that state of about 40 to 60 million years, the spirit no longer requires a purely material body and becomes a half-spirit body. It then lives only in half-material form for an additional 60 to 80 billion years and in such lofty spheres that we can no longer communicate with it from the purely material/human level, except when there exists a very high consciousness-related and spiritual level of evolution. After 60 to 80 billion years, the half-spirit form - the half-material form respectively - transforms itself into the first pure spirit form and enters the level of Arahat Athersata." -Semjase, 3rd Contact interview with Billy Meier Saturday, February 8, 1975, 3:03 AM
