Refining

"The purpose of this existence is to strain off impurities, to filter out the grosser portions of the personality. So that by enhanced lightness and energy the soul resolves ever more of its darkness into light — the fog of doubt and uncertainty yields to the glorious sunshine of rewarded faith.
Psychic energy comes from the opposed polarities of flesh and spirit. The more suddenly the physical carapace is shattered the greater the spiritual release. Sudden death (the sudden falling away of the body) gives enormous energy to the soul.
"Instinct is the best -indeed the only effective- teacher. Instinct, soul knowledge, comes in part from stored inner knowledge (a kind of mental DNA) of the long-term (multi-incarnation) needs which only your psyche knows. It is a surer guide than any handbook, for it often leads us into negative situations, just as important for our growth as positive ones, but which no earthly guide would ever have authority to suggest."
