It is the desire of the mind that carries the soul to a suitable atmosphere, just as the wind carries an aroma from one place to another. Unfortunately, unlike realized souls, the low materialists who, throughout their existence, indulge in the pleasures of the senses, are bewildered by the mental and physical disorder that marks the moment of their death. These gross sensualists, bogged down in the conceptions, desires and relationships that marked their life, then covet what goes against their interests and stupidly put on new bodies which only perpetuate their material suffering. We must therefore train the mind and intelligence in a systematic way so that at the moment of death we can consciously desire a body that suits us, either on this planet earth, or on another material planet, or even on a transcendental planet. A civilization that does not take into consideration the gradual upliftment of the immortal soul only encourages a life of bestial ignorance.

It is unreasonable to believe that every soul that passes from life to death attains the same destiny. Either she goes to the place she has chosen for herself, or she is forced to undergo a condition determined by the life she has just led. What distinguishes the materialist from the spiritualist is that the former cannot determine his next body while the latter can consciously acquire one which enables him to experience the pleasures of the higher planets. All his life, the low materialist, obsessed with the satisfaction of his senses, devotes his days to working to provide for his family and at night wastes his energy in carnal pleasures or falls asleep meditating on what is happening. he performed during the day. This is the monotonous story of the materialists. Although they are classified differently as businessmen, lawyers, politicians, teachers, magistrates, porters, pickpockets, laborers, etc., they actually have no other worries than eating, sleep, defend themselves, and satisfy their senses. They thus sacrifice their precious life to seek material pleasures and fail to attain the perfection of existence through spiritual realization.

The spiritualist seeks this perfection. Also, everyone should become a realized soul. Yoga (the practice of union with God) enables the soul to be connected to the Lord through his service. One can only practice such yoga without having to change one's social position if one is guided by a master. As we have already said, the spiritualist can go to a place of his choice without using any mechanical means, because he knows the art of locating his mind and his intelligence within the air which circulates in his body. By maintaining his breathing, he then integrates this air with the universal breath outside his body. By this universal air, the spiritualist can go to the planet of his choice and acquire a carnal envelope adapted to his atmosphere. To better understand this process, we can compare it to the electronic transmission of radio waves. Sound waves produced by a radio transmitter can travel the entire earth in just a few seconds. Now, sound proceeds from the ethereal atmosphere, as explained previously, more subtle than the ether is the mind, and still more subtle than the latter is the intelligence. Finally, spiritual energy, which is totally different from matter, even surpasses intelligence. So one can hardly imagine the speed at which the soul can travel in the universal atmosphere.
