Dynamics of the soul

Each of us is a Spark related to our Source through a thread of light. This thread of light is the extension of the Spark. It is part of the Spark which eventually will be the path through which the Spark will travel back to Its Source. That is why we are told that man is the path itself. 'I am the path.' He is the path and the traveling Spark. The Spark has different names on Its path of development. For example, when It is really captured in the physical body and totally identified with it, we call It the 'sleeping spark,' or the reflection. When It awakens and wants to be aware of Its powers and destination, we call It the 'pilgrim.' When It arrives on the mental plane and has highly organized the three bodies -mental, emotional, physical/etheric -we call it a 'personality.' When it further advances and harmonizes all Its activities in the light of the Inner Guide, we call It the unfolding human soul. When It releases the Solar Angel and stands > on Its own, we call It a Soul or an Arhat. When It advances to higher realms, we call it the Spiritual Triad, then the Self or the Monad or the Divine Spark. / Torkom Saraydarian
