Consider a human soul, or any soul-endowed being, that had previously been unwilling to incarnate because of the condition of solidification. Such a soul might have reflected—again expressed in our human language—Shall I incarnate now or shall I wait still longer?—Let us assume that the moon had not been gone very long, and that consequently all substance was still very hard; but the being desiring to incarnate is impatient, descends whether or no, and makes the best of an inadequately developed body. This means that it must remain at a lower level. Another being reflects, I would better wait longer, remaining in cosmic space until such time as the earth shall have further lightened and rarefied its physical being.—Such a being, by awaiting a later point in time, succeeds in physically molding the being in which it embodies, making it into its own image.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.
