The Psychosomatic Relationship of Man with the Universe (The Microcosm and the Macrocosm)
individual air or life breath of 'Prana', the life in the body, returns to its universal reservoir.
"Ashes to ashes". This person died because the fire principle of energy could not flow in this body, and be renewed by the universal fire of energy. That is why it must return to its source.
And the spirit (Soul) returns to God who gave it, in the Soul Realm or the fifth river, which is also the first one. So the first is last and the last is first.
"And Jehovah God planted a garden eastward in Eden." (Gen. 2:8)
This garden is the form of man in Eden, the higher sphere.
"And Jehovah God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and keep it." (Gen. 2:15)
Man then became the dweller in a form, house or garden, a beautiful abode. Before this the soul was yet in a higher sphere where there was no need for sex, food or clothing.
In the Koran [Quran, Qur'an, Al-Coran, Coran, Kuran, Al-Qur'an] it is stated that when the forms were built, God played beautiful music upon them and souls entered those forms.[1] In the Bible it is stated that the sons of God beheld the daughters of men and they were fair; they came down and took them unto wives and bred giants.[2] That was millions of years before the flood, when incarnation and descent of souls took place. Those souls not yet ensnared by matter and grosser forms, are still spoken of as the sons of God, descending. Time intervals of millions of years are often covered in one sentence in the Bible.
It is important to know of and understand this process of the involution of the soul into matter, because all the finer principles and vehicles, and lines of force are still with us, buried within this form. That is the reason we have so much conflict within ourselves and are constantly searching for our lost estate, seeking our higher essences and trying to discover ourselves.
Every principle or energy field within us, our little world, has a universal plane of being or field of operation. And as our four elements must blend with that greater world outside and draw from its universal supply in order to be well and nourished, even so, all the higher energy principles must be supplied from their own plane. THE SOUL ITSELF MUST CONSTANTLY BE SUPPLIED BY THE SOUND CURRENT, THE WORD ISSUING FORTH FROM THE SUPREME BEING WHO CREATED IT. NO PART IS COMPLETE IN ITSELF "EXCEPT IT ABIDE IN THE WHOLE" AND IS UNITED WITH IT.
Why should the spirit of man be so proud, when everything is
