It is only when the outer crust of the ordinary life is violently taken by some unexpected and tragic event that the inner consciousness has the occasion to take the place of this outward movement and to govern fully the whole being.
Those who have come upon earth fully conscious of their entire being and conscious of their Origin, there is at first a period when this consciousness gets veiled by the physical life and the body-consciousness.
All life on earth is governed by vital beings' influence. For earth to be entirely divine and harmonious, these beings must be conquered, transformed, or return to their origin.
Fully conscious beings recall their purpose and continue their work at night while their bodies rest, they remember what they were and what they can do.
When Consciousness descends into the material world, it becomes faint and uncertain due to inertia. All the beings from above that take birth in this world have the same experience.
It is a Supreme Grace for man that the future is not revealed to him; because most of men wouldn’t have the courage to live their life, if they knew what it would be.
According to the action of the Grace, the difficulties having happened, the Grace change them in means of greater results. That is the attitude to be taken towards life as it is, and it will allow the Grace to give Its maximum of help and result.
