Soul’S DIvIne journeY


            the lens of the mind, actually does know itself, but it does
            not know, nor can it ever perceive, the divine self. the
            personality is referred to as the false self, while the soul is
            termed the real self. thus, to replace the false with the real,
            and to then wed absolute truth in place of relative truth, are
            the spiritual objectives to be achieved, the former being
            Self realization, and the latter God realization.
                 In closing, I would like to offer a brief summary of
            soul’s divine journey, including both its initial descent and
            its ultimate ascension back to its regal realm of origin.




                            Soul’S DIvIne journeY

                 from the very beginning, ever since the soul first
            descended from Sat lok, it had been desperately in search
            of itself. In the course of its sojourn, soul innocently
            identified first with the materialistic world, then with the
            personality of mind, and finally with lord brahm, but all
            were eventually exposed as mere paltry reflections and
            shadowy representations of the true and eternal self.
                 In its long and unimaginable saga, soul embodied
            the human form time and time again, playing the roles of
            father, mother, daughter, and son literally thousands of
            times, but in the end, soul clearly perceived that it was
            actually none of these.
                 the soul gave its allegiance to country, state, and
            the color of race, and so too did it identify with countless
            creeds, spiritual methods, and moral and ethical precepts.
            but in the dawning of its realization, soul easily perceived
            that these were only temporal and partial substitutes.
                 the soul endlessly roamed the physical, astral, and
            mental realms, ceaselessly experiencing the cycles of
            birth and death, but with its restored and clarified vision,
