Our beginning is as a luminous seed falling from the regions of space that cannot be seen. These are souls. They live like faint vapors in their new space and time, free from care, knowing not their own happiness. On falling, however, they put on increasingly heavier envelopes. In each incarnation they acquire a new corporeal sense, in harmony with the surroundings in which they are living. Their vital energy increases, but in proportion as they enter into denser bodies they lose the memory of their celestial origin. Thus is effected the fall of souls which come from the divine ether.
Ever more and more captivated by matter and intoxicated by life, they fling themselves like a rain of fire, through the regions of grief, love, and death, right into their earthly prison where divine life appears to thee nothing more than an empty dream.
Many will perish in the descent. The soul is the daughter of heaven, and its journey is a test. If it loses the memory of its origin, in its unbridled love of matter, the divine spark which was in it and which might have become more brilliant than a star, returns to the ethereal region, a lifeless atom, and the soul disaggregates.
Such is also the destiny of souls irremediably shallow and evil.
Their torture finishes only with their destruction, which includes the loss of all consciousness.
Some souls are beaten back to earth.The rest grow mighty wings to reach the upper sphere. Once they have come to this sphere, they recover their vision of divine things. This time, however, they are not content to reflect them in the dream of a powerless happiness; they become impregnated thereby with the lucidity of a grief-enlightened consciousness, the energy of a will acquired through struggle and strife. They become luminous, for they possess the divine in themselves and radiate it in their acts.
The most beautiful dwell in the solar region; the most powerful rise to the Father. For where everything ends, everything eternally begins; Wisdom! Love! Justice! Beauty! Splendor! Knowledge! Immortality!
MARKET-TEST-DUMMY : This reflection or passage invites you to look within and ask:
Are we remembering our divine origin, or are we losing ourselves in the illusions of matter?
It challenges us to embrace struggle as a path to greater consciousness and radiance, to let our divine spark shine brighter than the stars.
