lets look..into their soul..via..the beastly..astral-body/form
[why beasts..are beast..and not yet evolved into man]..is mainly as they..dont have..the higher thinking..passion/will..that yearns for better.

the systems..with/which..you are acquainted..and..which/use this expression..state that all/men..have an..'astral-body.'[soul]....
This is..quite wrong.

What may-be..called the..'astral body'..is obtained/by means of fusion,..that is,..by means/o.. terribly..hard inner-work and struggle...as muchas by our desires/needs/wants

Man is/not..born with..a soul..[nor is..the beast
which..has basic wants..[water/food sex..etc]...And
only..very few/men..acquire an..'astral body.'.and even fewrer beasts

but..not all beasts..indeed but..very few/have..enough
emotional-baggage/karma..to have earned...a soul..ie..[few/beasts
have..sought..out..awareness..of higher wants/needs desires]..at death..the seek out their last want..andf go to meet it

the-next life..consists of infinite passions..to simply-will it..brings you too..it..[if]..so a sheep..that wishes..to run/hide
at death..runs and hides..in time..it MAY*..feel thirst..and find/its immediate presence

in..short..god meets all its..wants
then..gives it its next..[hopefully higher incarnation]

If..it/is re-in/formed..[into new body]..whenthat body expires
it may..continue/to live..onas that beast..or revert toa previous..want..higher..is so wanted..or l;ower..according to our lusts.

after..the death..of/the physical-body,..and it may be..born again/in another physical body...This..is 'reincarnation.'..If/it..is not re-born,..then,..in the course..of time,..that soul-form also dies;once its stains..are cleaned[revealing its inner true soul..[its body..of light...or back to..a material-body form..better able to meet..its wants

thing is all matter is energy
and like energy joins together..opposites react

the astral/form..or soul..is not..immortal..but it/can live
long after..the death/of..the physical body..."Fusion,..of self/building..the inner unity,[ego]..is obtained..by means of 'friction,'..by the/struggle..between..'yes'..and 'no'..in man.

If..a man..lives without..inner struggle,
if..everything happens..in him..without opposition,
if..he goes..wherever..he is drawn..or wherever..the wind blows, he will remain..such as he is.

But i..f a struggle..begins in him,..and particularly/if..there is a definite-line*..[drive]..in this struggle,..then,..gradually, permanent-traits..begin to form themselves,..he begins to..'crystallize.'..higher energy forms..

[this relates..to matter..denser energy concentrations]

But crystallization..is possible..on a right foundation..and it is possible..on a wrong foundation...'Friction,'..the struggle..between 'yes'..and..'no,'..can..easily take place..on/a wrong..foundation.

For instance,..a fanatical belief..in some/or..other idea,
or..the..'fear of sin,'..[any/fear..any drive/any obsession]..can evoke..a terribly intense/struggle between..'yes'..and..'no,'.and a man..many crystallize..on these/foundations.

But. this would be a wrong, incomplete crystallization. Such a man will not possess the possibility of further development...In order to make further development possible..he must be melted down again, and this can be accomplished only through terrible suffering.

"Crystallization is possible on any foundation.

it..is just as well..we now have eternity..before us
to evolve..into what/we..*will..become..[once..we get/over.the baser-emotions]

once we..overcome..our beastly wants]..and before we crystallize..into temporal*stasis..[see..further..from/prev-post]

from
http://www.beezone.com/AdiDa/nirvanasara/chapter1.html

Before..the/Great Tradition's..and..the Way/of..the Heart[rev-elation]..which reveals the miracle..can be rightly evaluated and fully embraced,..there must-be..a restoration of human balance..and a renewal..of the total-mind..of Man...[away frombeastly want]

Some individuals/may-be free/enough..to respond even now,.but
most/of..humanity must soon go/through..a difficult trial of purification re balancing,..and further/regeneration of ever-higher

*and..ever more..subtler knowledge changes[tweaks]..about..the potent/totemic structures..of manifest-existence.[beasts/the least..who we hurt..is felt/by the most]..before..the real religious or..true/spiritual-response..can move/them to..nearer/the Reality..again.

2.

The ancient..traditional-origins..[root]..of religious..and
spiritual philosophy..are..in the magical..or shamanistic cultures. Thus,..conventional religious.or spiritual-consciousness..is basically founded..on the..miss*presumptions..of.."animism."

There_are/many different/belief-systems...that are..animistic..
(and thus..totemic/religious..or objective-spiritual-possesive),[expletive]..but what characterizes/them all..is the basic presumption..that/energy,..invisible life,..or spirit-force.is "behind"..all/and..every part/of Nature.

IT IS*

*It is..this invisible-part/unseen..unrecorded..un-noticed..
obscured..elitist..tokenism..that is embraced..via every/form.of magical,..religious/ worshipful,/mystical,/yogic,/or.spiritual belief ritual..language..motivation..practice...and act.

And it/is..this failure..to/presume..passionately..(really..and profoundly)..their existence..and the lack/of..availability..of such personally-realized..applied-energy..(or em-Power..of the rem-power) that..characterizes..the non-religious,..anti-spiritual,..or merely materialistic consciousness.

Just so,..the differences/in presumption..relative to/the..status of invisible energies..(or more simply..{E}..Energy)..are..what differentiate..(and ultimately/result..in..the divisive/conflicts between)..differing..religious or spiritual rites/beliefs messengers..and traditions.

The traditions..of elemental-magic/conceive of..the invisible in terms/of..the obvious pluralities..of gross awareness..Therefore, every -thing.,.and every*one..is presumed..to/be animated..and otherwise manipulated..by individual/spirits...And the/practice of religion..is therefore directed..toward..the attainment..of positive and..useful/relations..*with..spirit-entities..of all kinds.

In contrast.to..such pluralistic-animism.(and the/polytheistic religions..that are built-on..that basis),..the later/developments of animism..(ultimately represented..by the monotheistic cultures)..tend to produce*religious..and spiritual*practice..on the basis/of the presumption..that there is*..only one/invisible force.;(or Divine Spirit)*behind..(and ultimately*transcending)..all of Nature.

The religious/orthodoxy..fixation..on/of..any particular..time person/work..and place..is always implicitly..regarded..as critical..of other systems...this is a gross error

*Therefore,..the animistic-objective/subjective..cultures..that developed monotheistic-religion..rigidly denied value..of..(and even the right..to exist)..to/the cults..and practices.of pluralistic animism.

The early Hebrews,..for example,..engaged in systematic..and even aggressive criticism.of the magical practices,.."idol" worship, and polytheistic cultism..that were extant..in the territories they merely..*wanted to acquire.[for/their..own wants/not need]

Their principle/of opposition..was not truly..a complaint against the..cultic use/of..holy objects..to serve access to..or even represent the invisible spirit-influence.[but that the power of them be dispersed..and other heads..of power be installed

keep/the slaves..dumbed down/divided
just install..the new head..to loot/plunder at leisure.

The Hebrews..themselves/used..various-kinds..of such
cultic..machinery..(from..the ark/of..the covenant
to ..the temple..and all/of..its trappings)..

Rather,..the principle/of..opposition/was..the difference/between
the mind..of pluralistic..or..polytheistic-animism..and the mind of monotheistic..animism...tokenism/totumism/natural;ism/commune-ism/femin-ism/sex-ism/..so many..other'ism's'

anyhow,,enough..of the delay
lets return..to..jesus words

page 83/acim
http://miraclevision.com/acim/urtext/acim-urtext-2003-upe-ready-edition.pdf

Saturday 11/27/1967*

Most/of..the abilities*.[VALIDATIONS/WORKS/USES]
THAT..man now possesses..are only..shadows[REFLECTIONS].of his real strengths...*The..Soul knows,[RE-COGNIZES]..loves,..DE-BAITS/THEORIZES..and creates.

REAL-IZED

These are HIs..unequivocal..functions..OF BODY..WHICH/OF..All
of..the functions/of man..are..the..MOST/equivocal,..or open to question..or doubt...or bias..or accept and perfect rejection..by introspection..by REALIZATION..the equivocation saturation/negation

This..real-isation..is because..he can no longer be
certain how..he will USE them...thus in..*imagining its uses
creates...dis-illusioned saturation..He/is therefore incapable of knowledge,..because he is..is so certain..in the choosing..of being uncertain.

He is also..thus..by his lack..of awareness..[in/other]..
of otherly..want..or need..and made himself..incapable..of true loving,..because he can..but..[like any beast]..perceive lovelessly.

He/cannot create..his life's revelation..into miracles..surely, because/.self-is/miss-perception...deceives,..and illusions are not pure...truth..and by being untruth..cannot bear good fruit[worhy-works].

Perception..[of other..as separated..from-self]..did not exist
until..the Separation/desperation/negation..had introduced degrees, aspects..and..alternate reactive purgative learning/or earning intervals.

The pure/true-Soul..has no levels,..and ALL/conflict arises
from..the..concept of levels...Wars..'arise..when some..regard/others as_if they..were on..a different level.*..All interpersonal
conflicts..arise from/this..fallacy.

Only the levels/of the..Trinity[revelation/miracle/creation]..are capable..of Unity...The/levels.;.which man created/by the Separation are..disastrous...They cannot..now..BUT conflict...as their true uses are subsumed..by missdefinition..of minutia.

This..is because..one is essentially*..meaningless to another.
Freud realized/this perfectly,..and that-is why...he..conceived
is forever..irreconcilable..of the different levels..of his psyche.

They were..conflict-prone..by definition,..because/they wanted different-things..and..obeyed/different principles...as if..its..only means

In/our..[acim/jesus]..picture..of the psyche,..there is..an unconscious level,..which properly consists/ONLY of..the miracle ability..and..thus..should be..under MY direction;

and a..conscious level..[revelation]..
ever alert/watchful/aware-level..which perceives..or
is aware of..impulses/in-puts/in*spiration..IN-ner-consious..see the [observer affect]..from both..the unconscious..and the/super..supra-conscious...acting concerted..via [simultudes]

These..anachronistic concurrences..are the sources/of..the impulses it receives...Consciousness is thus*the level of perception,..but NOT of knowledge.

*Again,..[wrote/large]..to PERCEIVE..is NOT to know.

(In/this connection,..Cayce is more accurate..than Freud.)
Consciousness..*was the first/slip-split..that man introduced into himself...He THUSLY..became a..PERCEIVER..rather than..a co-creator in..the true sense.

Consciousness..is correctly identified
as the domain..of the ego...Jung was right*indeed
in insisting..that the ego..is NOT the self,..and that the self should*be..regarded as an/achievement...ove truth/love..over freewill/paralyzing passivity and beastly proselytizing instinct.

He did/not RECOGNIZE..[re-cognizance]..(a term..we now understand) that..*the Achievement..was God’s...In a sense,..the ego was a man-made/attempt..to perceive himself..as he wished,*.rather than as he IS.

This is an example/of the..created/creator
confusion/we spoke of/before...

SURE..He can/only KNOW..himself..as*..he IS,
because..that-is..all..he can..really..be SURE of.

thats why..'every..'sperm'..beast or life..is sacred
not for...its ego..but the gift-giver's ergo..*sustaining
us all..our every breath....ahhhh-men*..mene/mene/mene/[means/writing..on/the..wall*

many/were called..but..few asked questions..on/the essential
*things..he said...'One/of...these questions..has remained in my memory.

"In what..way can/one..evoke[pro-voke]..the struggle
between..'yes'..and..'no'..in KNOWing..oneself?".,.[someone asked.]

"Sacrifice..is necessary,"..said G..."If nothing/is sacrificed..[let go]..nothing..*new../is obtained...And..it is..necessary to sacrifice something..precious..to your..miss-beliefs..at the moment,..they become clear...but..to sacrifice..for a long-time..and to/sacrifice a great deal...[too..much?...good/truth..isnt hard..just firm..[foundation].

But/still,..nothing..is con-figured..[congealed]..forever.
This must/be..clearly..understood..because/often..it is not understood.[as/in..stood under]..under=lower/standing][in-firm grounds]

Sacrifice..is necessary/only while..the process;.of crystallization is going on...When crystallization..is achieved,..renunciations,..deprivations,..and sacrifices..are no longer necessary.*

He can..only KNOW himself*as he IS,..via what he now is being
because..*that..is all..he/can be..SURE of.

&..*Everything else..IS open/to question.*!

The ego..is the questioning/com-part/ment..in the
post-Separation/psyche which man..created for himself...*It is capable of*..asking valid questions,..but not..of perceiving wholly
valid answers,..[revealed only..by revelation..leading to/the active..of doing..realization

MAKING..keeping..things REAL..

because these..are cognitive,..and..cannot BE perceived.
The endless/speculation.about the meaning..of mind.has led to considerable-confusion..SIMPLY..because the/mind IS confused/con-founded.

Only..One-Mindedness[love]..is without confusion.
A separate,..or divided,mind..MUST be necessarily be confused.
[two/masters rule]

A divided/mind..is uncertain..by definition...*It
HAS to be..in/conflict..because it/is..out of accord with itself.
Intra-personal/conflict..arises..from the same basis/as interpersonal. One part of the/psyche..perceives another part..as on a different LEVEL,..and does not/understand to it.

This makes..these parts..strangers
to each other,..in worse case..WITHOUT any mutually inclusive RECOGNITION...This is the essence-cause..of the fear-prone.condition, in which..inner conflicted ego attack..is ALWAYS possible...Man has every reason..to feel anxious,..*as he [mis*]..perceives,,not only himself...but other.

This is why..he cannot/escape fear..until he KNOWS..the truth*
ofthat..the he*..DID not..*and CAN-not..create..*himself.

He..can NEVER*..make this..misperception valid,..and
when..he at last PERCEIVES..*clearly,[purely/truthfully/peacefilly]..he is GLAD HE/CAN’T...and that his attempt of avoidence were futile*.

His Creation..*is beyond..his own error variance,
and..this is why he MUST..eventually/*choose..to heal the Separation.

Right-mindedness..is not to/be confused
with the KNOWING mind,..because..*it is/applicable..(*only to right perception...*You can be..right-minded..[or wrong-minded,]..and this
is subject/to..degrees,..[even specific circum-stances]..a fact which clearly demonstrates..a lack/of..association with/the healingway..of knowledge.

No, Helen,..this is PERFECTLY clear..and DOES
follow..the previous section...Neither you..nor I is able..*at all..to be confused,..even in grammar.)[truth=loving/goodly/graceful/merciful/eternal/etc]

The term “right-mindedness”..is properly..used
as..the correction..for wrong-mindedness..they feel different..have totally..inverse fruits.[evena beast..KNOWS..its childs voice*]

and..applies to/the..*state of mind
which..sequentially..induces..accurate perception.
right-thinking and good fruits....*It is/miraculous..because
it heals..error..and fear..plus other..misperception,..and..healing is..indeed/a miracle,..in view of/how man..miss-perceives not only..himself...but the loving[good/mercyful/god]..

*Only..the sick..[error]..NEED healing.
The Soul..does-not..*need/healing,..only revealing

but..that..is..what..the mind DOES...

The mind/returns..itself/to-its..proper function
only/when..it WILLS/TO now..KNOW...

This/places it..in the Soul’s service,[e-motive]..where..our perception/is..meaningless...The super-conscious..is/the level..that receives..its revelation..of the mind which..wills..that miracle..to do this...(Freud/was particularly distorted..on this-point,..because he/was..getting too far..*UP..for comfort..*according/to..his own perception.)

But..he WAS/right..in maintaining..that/the “parts”..of
the psyche..cannot/be.correctly perceived/..*either..[as THINGS..or as..entirely separate.]..(He would/have..thought better..if/he had said..“entirely_separated.”)

The mind..DID divide/itself..when it/willed..to create..its own levels..[of cre4ative/faux-miracles]..AND..the ability..to/perceive them...But it..could NOT/entirely separate..itself/from..the Soul, because..it/*is FROM/the Soul..that it derives..its whole power/to create.

Even..in mis-creating,..the..will..is affirming/its-source,
or/it..would merely..cease/to be...This is/of..course..impossible, because.it IS part/of..the Soul,*which God created,..and which is therefore/eternal.

The ability/to perceive..made/the body..possible,..because
you/must perceive*SOMETHING,..and..*WITH something...This is/why perception..involves..an exchange,/or..a..translation,[revelatioonn]..which knowledge..does NOT need.

*The..interpretive/function..of perception,[revealing]
(actually,..a distorted/form..of creation),..then permitted/man
to..interpret..the body as/HIMSELF,..which,/although..depressing,/was a/way-out..of*the conflict..*he induced...(This/has..already been covered ..in some detail.)

The super/supra-conscious,..*which KNOWS,,,by active recall..could/not be reconciled..with this..loss/of power,
because..it/was..incapable..of darkness...This/is why..it became almost/in-accessible..to the/material-mind..and/entirely inaccessible to..the body.

It was..PERCEIVED..as a..threat,[thus/induced/fear..because light
does/abolish..darkness by establishing..the clear/fact..that/darkess..ISN’T really..where..the light/is.]

The..truth will/ALWAYS..destroy error.in this-sense.
This..is/not..an..*ACTIVE/process..of destruction..at all.
We/have..already emphasized/the..fact..that-knowing.;.does/not DO*..anything...thus..It/can be/PERCEIVED..*as an attacker,..*but it CANNOT *..attack.

Wha/ man perceives..of..as/its..attack-sign..by design/is..of
his own..recognition..of/the fact..that..truth..can always/be REMEMBERED,..because..it..[alone]..has never..been destroyed.

This is/not..just*coud-[suprs]..mind..recalling..a literal
remembering..as much..as an..actual/re-membering.,,[rejoining..of all/its parts..exactly,,(That..is largely..for B...I wish/he would decide..to/use..that/talent..of/his..constructively...He/has./no idea of..how powerful..it could be.

Actually,/it..does/come,,from*the unconscious,..and
is really..a distorted-form..of miraculous perception
which..*he..has reduced/to word-twisting...

Although/this..can-be quite/funny,..it/is..still..a real/waste..
Maybe..he’would care to..let me..control/it,..and..still/use..it humorously himself.

He/doesn’t..have-to..decided..it is/one OR..the other.)
The/unconscious_should/never.have been*reduced/to..a..“container” for the waste/products..of conflict...Even/as H..E perceives his psyche, every_level..has a creative potential,..because..*nothing..*man creates..can wholly/lose this.

God..and/the Soul.l He created*remain..in surety,[truth]
and..therefore KNOW/that..no..injurious/mis-creation..exists.
Truth..cannot deal/with..unwilling error.. because/it..does not will to-be/blocked out...But..I was/a..man_who/remembered..the Soul..and its..acces/to knowledge.

Tell/B...that-when he refused..to misperceive
he was..indeed behaving..as I behaved...And as a man,..I
