The descent into matter will always be an extraordinary acquisition for mankind. God’s purpose is to bring human beings to a state of perfection in this way, by letting them experience this passage through matter, through the abyss, and by bringing them back, through disease and death, to life and resurrection, to light and absolute freedom, to the knowledge of their Creator.
This ascending movement has already begun, the heavenly currents are gradually gaining strength and greater numbers of luminous souls are coming to incarnate in the world. Before very long, we shall begin to see philosophers, artists and scientists who speak a new language, create new works of art, proclaim new values and bring with them a new vision of the world; a new culture will spring up in every part of the world, a culture which will establish the kingdom of God and his righteousness.
But, before they can bring this about, men must learn to work with the highly sophisticated instruments they possess, the organs of their causal, buddhic and atmic bodies. In other words, they must learn to work with the spirit, for only the spirit can contemplate and comprehend the realities of the divine World.'
