Human beings can progress from people to people; with each incarnation, they are born into a different people. What they experience from their sphere of will comes, in a sense, from the gods. For at first, they cannot change much in this sphere of will. For those who are born in any place on earth cannot change the fact that they are born in this place, which is represented in some form by the columns. For at this particular place of development, the human being stands through the subconscious foundations of his will life.
