The final evolutionary step is acquiring a body made of plasma, or an energy body that can manipulate electromagnetic waves. Jesus’ Transfiguration, or the glorified body, is exactly that—the highest form of plasma, because he is God himself, who came to Earth to show the right path.
That is why during the Transfiguration, ‘His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.’ The Sun is plasma and it shines white. This concept was also present in ancient Egyptian religion, where the soul becomes the immortal Akh and transforms into a star.
This is the concept of internal alchemy, and it is the ultimate purpose of our existence!
Notice the Orthodox depictions of the Transfiguration, there is light surrounding the body. There are plasma beings that exist in higher dimensions, and we call them ‘aliens.’ They can appear however they want to you because they can manipulate how you perceive them, since you see electromagnetic waves, and a plasma body could influence that.
In the Tibetan Dzogchen mysteries, to ascend means to literally transform the body into a body of light, known as the Tibetan Rainbow Body. During this process, the entire material body dissolves and transforms into pure energy, leaving only hair or nails behind. In modern scientific terms, the material body would reach its highest physical state — plasma — which reacts to electromagnetic forces far more strongly than to gravity or pressure.
In Hermetic traditions, as the soul evolves, it no longer needs the physical body. In Ancient Egyptian philosophy, the soul becomes like the sun and the stars (Plasma) — it becomes the enlightened Akh. This is essentially where the evolution of the soul leads us. You can accelerate this process through spiritual mastery, but eventually it will happen on a mass level when the Great Year comes to its end.
