  In the ancient texts of India. It is said that a human birth is
• 0:06
  essential for progress and that even the gods, if they desire to
• 0:12
  attain some new development need to take birth in a human form.
• 0:18
  It is clear that generally the physical body, the vital nature,
• 0:23
  and the mental development, dissolve sequentially, upon the
• 0:27
  death, and dissolution of the body.
• 0:31
  It becomes obvious therefore that the development The
• 0:35
  evolutionary progression that takes place is not based in the
• 0:40
  body life. Mine complex where the ego
• 0:43
  personality that attaches to them in any particular lifetime,
• 0:49
  It is at this point that the role of the psychic being the
• 0:54
  soul comes into play. It is the psychic being that
• 0:58
  survives death and takes a new form and enters a new life once
• 1:04
  it is ready to do. So having a simulated the
• 1:08
  essence of the experience of the completed life.
• 1:13
  This is not a particular, individuality not a particular
• 1:17
  ego. Not a particular personality.

  But a spark of the Divine, which carries out the mechanism of the
• 1:26
  universal Creation in its unfolding of the increasing
• 1:31
  powers of Consciousness, being manifested depending on the
• 1:36
  development and maturity of the specific psychic entity.

• 2:04
  achieved. So as to have the appropriate
• 2:07
  set of experiences for its level of development, the mother
• 2:13
  observes quote, the center of organization, and transformation
• 2:18
  is always the presence of the psychic in the body.
• 2:22
  Therefore, it is a very big mistake to believe that the
• 2:26
  progress continues or even as some belief that it is more
• 2:31
  complete and rapid in the periods of transition between
• 2:35
  two physical lives. In general, there is no progress
• 2:40
  at all for the psychic enters into a state of rest and the
• 2:44
  other parts after a more or less ephemeral life in their own
• 2:49
  domain are dissolved Earthly. Life is the place for Progress,
• 2:56
  it is here on Earth that progress is possible during the
• 3:01
  period of Earthly existence. And it is the psychic which
