Insights and Heresies Pertaining to the Evolution of the Soul
Ammyeetis
Spiritual life -- Miscellanea
On the physical plane great strides are being made. The suppleness of
one, the power of balance of another, the feats of the acrobat, the
will of the juggler which commands the action, and the seeming
suspension of natural law; all these expressions are ever increasing
and varying through the industry and the ingenuity of man, and point to
the possibilities of the hitherto undreamed of physical perfection of
development, and grand unfolding of unknown powers. Man must master
the earth by controlling the laws of the material world. This is the
foundation of all things, and upon it shall be built all that the soul
must have for its unfoldment, within the aura and the radius of this
external plane.

If there can be one thing more pitiful than all others it is to see
little human bugs and reptiles mount their egotistical stilts and
declare the non-existence of the Creator.
If the blatant critics would only give over blowing their individual
horns, and remark for a little the value of quiet introspection, many
mysteries would reveal themselves and much good would be realized.
REASON.
Human reason is the outgrowth of the intuition. In its final analysis,
it is the comprehension by the soul of the reality of truth and of its
just relationships and values. It is the power of discriminating and
deciding between the perception of the intuition and the testimony of
facts gathered by observation and experience. The intuition of man is
of the will, that of woman is of the affections; thus it is more
spiritual than man's. Just as the doctors have prospected and laid out
and defined the functions of the physical body, so are the
psychologists and the mental scientists seeking a way and method by
which the attributes of the real being may be divided off into sections
and labelled accordingly. The fact is, the individual soul is all the
time struggling to reach its own at-one-ment with itself. When it
comes under the tuition and discipline of the gods, and begins to
perceive their methods, it can understand the whys and wherefores of
the intentions of life's experiences. They are to consolidate and make
practical vagrant emotions and tendencies, and lop off and scorch out
the idiosyncrasies of heredity and custom, and rouse the soul to a
knowledge of its need of harmony with divine law. Into the real soul
depths can no divulging line and plummet reach. This domain belongs to
its Creator alone. It is only as the tests of living and doing
manifest hidden motives and meanings that we catch glimpses of the ego
that abides within and through this life, submerged as it is in the
flesh. We can know but little of what is now, or of what yet shall be,
when the wholeness of the individual is established.
SYMPATHY.
