Soul’S Divine journey

So to summarize, the soul is currently entrapped with-
in the human consciousness and does not recognize itself
due to the predominance and overpowering nature of the
materialistic mind. the nature of all spiritual evolution is
based upon emancipating the soul from this very dominion
of matter and mind, and thus the soul must gradually be-
gin to collect itself and strive to concentrate its spiritual
energies within the third eye. Soul must first negotiate the
conscious materialistic mind within the physical conscious-
ness, it must then purify the subconscious mind in the
astral plane, and finally, the soul must strip and transcend
the unconscious mind located in trikuti, the second level
of heaven. having separated itself from the highest mind,
referred to as the universal mind, the soul is now able to
gain entrance into Daswan Dwar, or the third level of
heaven, and there experience Self realization for the first
time. the heights of Spiritual and God realization will
then follow in sequential order.
this general overview of the divine cosmology within
each human being gives adequate definition to the biblical
quotes, “the Kingdom of heaven is within you” and “in my
Father’s house are many mansions.” likewise, as buddha
stated, “the summit of reality can only be realized within
oneself.” a great Sufi Master stated, “the source of truth
is within, and he himself is the object of his realization.”
Schopenhauer stated, “the essential to life’s happiness re-
sides in what one has in one’s Self.” and hazrat inayat
Khan stated, “verily, it is simpler to find a way to heaven
than to find one’s way on earth.”
all of these quotes undeniably represent the journey
of soul that each individual will ultimately embark upon
within one’s own precious inner kingdom. even though
most initially wonder how anything so beautiful could pos-
sibly be within them, i tell you lovingly and strongly that
