The weight of the self

Ideally and originally, we are conceived and organized so that we receive an energy input to coincide with the exact external situation. Our balanced and functional system transforms the energy into the form required to respond accurately and adequately. The net result is an increase in well-being and a new "imprint" that is added to the source of knowledge.This was so when, as spirit beings, we were undergoing and experiencing existence. The spirit is connected to the source directly and its manifestation in the material plane is the ethereal "double" that is the bridge between our self and the astral, egoic and mental bodies. This connection and situation was created by the spirit as a means of restoring and revitalizing its capacity and capability to continue its current existence.

For us to condense in the material plane, a "disconnect" was required so that the soul (previously the motive force (morontial body of the spirit) could be reorganized to accept and store all of the experiences that we would undergo during this "instructional" phase of our progression.The reconnect that has become possible since 1969 involves the higher function of the mental body or as we often refer to it, the "supramental". Still part of the mental body, it is a higher vibrational frequency that has "access" to the ethereal double.The previous and current problem that we endured was that the egoic body was given control over self-awareness. So, not only was it responsible for our physical presence and the direction of our emanations, its reflection of the self imbued it with the impression that it was the "self". This awareness was a consequence of the soul's conversion to memory and the creation of the analytical intellect within the human psyche.It goes on and on (we are infinite beings after all... ) but this explanation is somewhat inadequate and laborious. There is so much more to know and to do.
