Esoteric Lesson
This is the reason why consciousness does not awaken in the spiritual world. As soon as the ego is back in the physical body, it awakens to the things that present themselves to the senses. If human beings did not have this burning longing in the spiritual world, they would immediately become conscious in the spiritual world. And then he would see a world around him full of life, but completely different from the physical world. He would then perceive a world of spiritual beings and forces. And he would see that all these beings and forces direct their forces toward a single center, and as this center, the human being would recognize his own physical and etheric bodies.
