Articles: Devotion | Is the world a Stage?

Now, let us attempt to study the movement of the soul, the ‘life-cycle’ of man, from one birth to another, both in the worldly material plane as well as in the subtle astral plane beyond. The writer requests readers to permit some degree of indulgence in constructive and explicable imagination. Let us imagine there are two ‘hosts’ in the recurring human cycle - the worldly and the astral planes. We shall enquire into where we came from, what we are doing here now and where we do proceed hereon? We need to imagine some point in the cycle the soul goes through to start with and trace the path until a circle is completed. Since all births have a cause, and so are all our experiences, we shall attempt to trace the cycle starting from the point of entry in the astral plane after death.
Before plunging back to earthly life and entering a new body in another mother’s womb each individual soul has to go through the various stages of preparation in the astral world. Freed from the limitation of the gross body and gaining full awareness of its own reality, the soul is able to take stock of the ‘cargo’ of karma it carries - gains and losses, the missed opportunities and failed lessons of past incarnations. With the help of astral guides, the soul is able to determine impartially the course it should take in the next birth, even several future births, to get rid of the ‘cargo.’ Earthly life is akin to a school where each individual learns to evolve. The earthly role of each individual is thus predetermined as per the soul’s needs, and in accordance with its past life experiences, strengths and weaknesses, to include new lessons to learn and to revise some past lessons as the case may be. Hence, events to follow in the ensuing incarnations on earth are ‘worked-out,’ as if a new ‘syllabus’ (destiny) is ‘written’ in the astral dimension, for souls to experience in each earthly life for their onward journey towards fullness.
