From this it can be seen how much we involve, absorb, how much must spread, evolve in the Devachan. From this we can see why the time in Devachan has to be so long. And again, what is prepared in Devachan by this propagation, becomes investment at birth and evolves in the next life. So, it is a continuous equilibration between involution and evolution. And to penetrate this completely is the task of theosophical immersion. It corresponds to a world process. Man usually jumps from one impression to another, taking in impression after impression; that he spreads them out in devachan will depend on the fact that he already holds them in life. Ordinary life is a kind of spiritual involution; meditation-life is a kind of spiritual evolution.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"8.
