2009
Having drifted from the Spirit (SELF), a speck of it finds its way through several layers of the field of Life gathering around itself increasingly grosser matter to a point when it becomes almost inert and so completely insentient. The benevolence of the Spirit and the dynamic forces of life progress it back on reverse track of evolution, through succeeding states of life-forms from mineral to plant to animal and to the human through several intermediate grades. In human form are named two distinct components: the inner being, Soul (I) and an associate, Ego who for all purposes assumes functioning as though or o/b/o, the Soul, though no such authorization issues from the living Soul.
