“The earthly and wayward seek only after outward pleasures and the satisfaction of the body. They fall into the snare of disbelief in the soul, and the Law decrees that disbelief shall be easy.

“Wise men, knowing the nature of immortal things, seek not for anything stable here among unstable things.

“That by which we know the texture of things, by which we taste, smell and hear, by which we experience the tenderness and suffering of love and perceive the beauty of nature, by which we value the glory of self sacrifice, by that we are also assured of something immortal within us.

“For when a man comes to the realization that it is by the soul within him that he knows and experiences all things about him, he has taken the first great step towards conscious immortality.”

The Kolbrin Bible (MPR:3:23-26)

The Earthly and Wayward

The earthly and wayward seek for material pleasures as the only things of value in life. They either don’t believe in anything spiritual, or they believe that they can wait until they are physically dead to worry about the spirit. Both of those beliefs are false.

Disbelief Shall be Easy

When the quote says that the law decrees that disbelief in the soul “shall be easy,” it is referring to the false law of the Demiurge, not the true Law of God. God’s Law is that we should believe in the Spirit and Soul and that we should develop those spiritual faculties while we are still in the physical world.

Wise Men Know

Wise men and women know the nature of immortal things. They know that it is spiritual things that are immortal, so they do not seek immortal things in the physical realm, what the quote calls “unstable things”. Many know that some spiritual teachers of the past said that nothing physical is real. What they meant is that nothing physical is permanent. Only the Spiritual is permanent. Only the spiritual comes from God.

Love and Beauty

Knowing love and beauty does assure us that there is something immortal within us, as the quote says. Of course, this only goes for real Love, which is universal, and real beauty that is not defined by things that are temporary, and definitely not by things altered with cosmetics and surgery. Real beauty is more than what’s on the surface.

Conscious Immortality

It is true that when we learn that it is through the spirit and soul that we know what and experience reality, it is the first step towards conscious immortality. Indeed, one of the purposes of spiritual development techniques is to gradually rise to higher and higher levels of consciousness until we reach the highest level where God and the Angels dwell.

Since this article is short, I’ve decided to add a few lines from a very spiritual song that few spiritual people seem to know about. The song is Hummingbird by Seals and Crofts.

“Haven’t you noticed the days somehow keep getting longer, and the spirit voice grows stronger in us all.

Haven’t you noticed the Rays, the Spirit Sun grows stronger, and a new day is dawning for us all.”

Here is a link to the full song on YouTube:

Hummingbird – Seals & Crofts [With lyrics]

“The soul is not born, nor does it know itself as a soul. The purpose of its earthly journey is to awaken it to self-awareness and to provide it with the ability to continue existence in the Region Beyond the West. Therefore, how could it enter upon earthly life with these things? Were they already there, life and Earth would have no purpose.

“The soul is bodiless within the body, everlasting among things that change and pass away. Man does not perceive his soul, because his senses face outward from the soul, towards earthly things, with which it makes contact. So it is that only the most developed of men can close out the material things about them and turn their senses inward to perceive the soul.

“The soul looks out through the eyes and sees all, which is without, but nothing of this can look in through the eyes and see the soul, even though the soul’s feeling may be reflected there. An eye without a soul behind it sees nothing.

“The earthly and wayward seek only after outward pleasures and the satisfaction of the body. They fall into the snare of disbelief in the soul, and the Law decrees that disbelief shall be easy.

“Wise men, knowing the nature of immortal things, seek not for anything stable here among unstable things.”

-The Kolbrin Bible (MPR:3:20-24)

The Soul is not Born

This is true, in a sense. Since Souls were created by God, they exist outside of the limitations of space and time just as God does. Therefore, we cannot say they were born. They simply have always existed. This is a hard idea to grasp when we are trapped in the material realm where space and time are very real; nonetheless, it is true.

Souls need to Awaken

We shouldn’t say that the purpose of life on Earth is to allow the Soul to awaken. That implies that a Soul cannot be awake without spending time on Earth, which is not true. What is true is that after the Demiurge created beings of matter without Souls, God gave us Souls so that it was possible for us to awaken and be saved.

I’ve never heard it called that, but I have to assume that the “Region Beyond the West” refers to Heaven.

The Soul has no Body

It is true that the Soul has no physical body, but our Spirit, which is simply a Soul that has not been fully awakened and developed, does have a non-material body.

The Soul Sees Without

It is true that the Soul can see what is around us, but we cannot look inside to see the Soul. Even if we look at someone else, we cannot see their Soul. While some think the eyes are the window to the Soul, that is not the case. We cannot see the Soul by looking into our own eyes or another person’s.

“Man, alone of all creatures, is capable of blushing, for he, alone of all things living, has a soul which can experience a sense of shame. That man has a soul is beyond all doubt; it is the most obvious of all truths. Seek not to delve unduly into its secrets but to harmonize it with your body. Commune with it, and awaken its potentialities.

“Intellect, reason, willpower and comprehension; these are not the soul. They are the manifestations of its existence, its attributes and its activity, but they are not the soul itself. Stimulate the soul by contact with that to which it responds. Know it through its manifestations and understand it through its faculties.

“It remains immortal and indestructible throughout all ages. Its splendor is displayed in noble deeds, and its glory in works of art and craftsmanship. It will survive your bodily disintegration. It was not created by the quickening of the flesh, nor conceived within the womb. Its seed existed before the body and preceded the thinking heart. The Great God sows soul seeds into earthly flesh, as man sows barley seeds in the fields of black soil.

“The soul is yours to fashion; it can be made radiant by goodness, beautified by virtue and glorified by love. It can be hideously deformed by vices and passions and twisted into a form of distorted horror by

meanness and hatred.”

-The Kolbrin Bible (MPR:3:11-14)

Man has a Divine Soul

This is something that few people understand. Many say that animals have souls just as humans do. While that is true, it is only the mundane soul that is associated with the physical body. Only man has a Divine Soul as well as a mundane one. It is that Divine Soul that can feel shame.

I don’t think the quote is correct in saying that it is “beyond all doubt” that man has a soul. Many people today don’t believe in the Soul, in the afterlife, or in God. Fortunately, more are waking up to the truth.

Awaken Its Potential

In this statement, the quote is correct. The Spirit and Soul do not awaken and develop on their own. It is up to each of us to awaken and develop our spiritual faculties. God must help with this, but He won’t help if we don’t participate in the process. It does need to harmonize with the body and mind. More specifically, it must control the Ego so that it doesn’t dominate our behavior.

The Soul is Immortal

It is true that the Soul is immortal and indestructible throughout all ages. That is because the Soul, as a creation of God, exists outside of the limitations of space and time. The soul has always existed, and will always exist. But if you don’t bother to develop your Spirit and Soul, your Soul will return to Heaven without you when you die. An important part of spiritual development is integrating the mind and Spirit, so that you will continue on after the inevitable death of the physical body.

Yours to Fashion

It is up to each of us to fill the Soul with the virtues of Beauty, Love, and Joy. If instead, you live a life of materialism, becoming attached to things, and engaging in physical passions, your Soul will be harmed by such behavior. If you commit the ultimate crime of murder, your soul will detach itself from you and leave you as a soulless shell. So feed you soul on the things it loves. Feed it so it will grow. That is how to become immortal.
