The Drama That is Life
The life of an individual on earth now and where he had been prior to this birth can be prudently illustrated by using a drama theatre as a model. The stage, the back-stage and actors represent the world, the astral plane and the souls respectively and the actors are preparing in the back-stage to enter the stage. These days we are able to follow the movement of many species of animal life on earth, like ‘tagging’ whales and tracking their movements in the oceans using satellites. Just imagine the roof of the drama theatre has been removed and one could see from above the full view of the stage as well as the back-stage at the same time, even the several partitions ‘back-stage’ while those on the floor cannot see beyond the limitation of barriers. They would only see everything within the confines of the partition and not beyond. Seen from above we are able to see in one sweep the entire drama theatre, the ‘back-stage’ where the actors at various stages of preparation prior to their entry onto the front-stage. In reality, none of these partitions are separate arenas, but they are multiple dimensions of one’s own subconscious mind.
As long as the mind clings on to the ephemeral and fleeting worldly things, the soul of the individual is trapped in the earthly realm, and keeps returning to earthly life over and over again. In other words all unfinished business in the earthly life can only be cleared in a subsequent incarnation on earth. So, let us begin the cycle from the moment a soul enters the astral plane, after shedding the physical body. It is analogous to an actor returning to the back-stage at the end of his stage performance. On entering the astral plane the departed soul is received by other souls. After a brief period of rest, the soul is refreshed to the change from the dense vibrations of the earth to the subtle and fine vibrations of the astral and moves from the ‘receiving area’ to the adjoining ‘sorting area.’
