Logos 89
Human life is so precious that even the inhabitants of the upper planets sometimes aspire to be born on earth in a human body, because it is the only form of life which makes it possible to return easily to God.
Since the spiritual soul is never annihilated, because eternal, the destruction of the material world does not touch it. However, she will have to put on new bodies over and over again, until she reaches liberation. The goal of human existence is to remedy these successive changes of body and to establish the incarnate being in the spiritual world where all is eternity, knowledge and absolute bliss. In short, living beings, in their ethereal forms, remain in the heart of the Sovereign Being, to take on a palpable aspect each time creation manifests itself.
We will hold for fool the one who ignores his personal interest and who, despite such an important and precious birth, fails to renew the bond which unites him eternally to God. The human form is accessed through a process of gradual evolution from one body to another through the 8,400,000 living species. But the unfortunate man, oblivious of his own interests, assumes political or economic responsibilities and thus gets lost in countless illusory activities aimed at improving the material condition of others. While there is nothing wrong with these political or economic aspirations, any such philanthropic activity must help bring us back to God. However, we must not forget the real purpose of existence, to know God and return to his kingdom, all of bliss, knowledge and eternity.
Logos 90
Why does the Lord attribute the consciousness to an incarnated spiritual being and to another oblivion?
The Lord obviously wishes that each incarnated spiritual being and distinct from his Person be animated by pure consciousness, which consists in knowing that he is a fragment of his Person and thus be engaged in his loving service, for such is the natural and original position of the distinct spiritual soul. But because the latter also enjoys partial independence, she can refuse to serve the Lord by wanting to benefit from the same independence as Him. Thus, all those who are not devotees of the Lord harbor a desire to equal the Lord in power, although they are not able to achieve it. It is therefore by the will of the Lord that they are plunged into illusion. Just as a child will want to be king, a being distinct from God may desire to be himself the Supreme Lord, which is why the Lord then places him in a dream state where he will believe himself to be such.
