We are considering a stage of spiritual life at which the psychical nature has been cleansed and purified. Formerly, it reflected in its plastic substance the images of the earthy; purified now, it reflects the image of the heavenly, giving the spiritual intelligence a visible form. WE ARE CONSIDERING A STAGE OF SPIRITUAL LIFE AT WHICH THE PSYCHICAL NATURE HAS BEEN CLEANSED AND PURIFIED FORMERLY IT REFLECTED IN ITS PLASTIC SUBSTANCE THE IMAGES OF THE EARTHLY PURIFIED NOW IT REFLECTS THE IMAGE OF THE HEAVENLY GIVING THE SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE A VISIBLE FORM
f a part of itself, one part observing the other, and thus leaving no need nor place for the Spiritual Man. To this strategy the argument is opposed by our philosopher, that this would be no true solution, but only a postponement of the solution. For we should have to find yet another part of the mind to view the first observing part, and then another to observe this, and so on, endlessly. The true solution is, that the Spiritual Man looks down upon the psychic nature, and observes it; when he views the psychic pictures gallery, this is “memory,” which would be a hopeless, inextricable confusion, if we thought of one part of the “mind,” with its memories, viewing another part, with memories of its own. The solution of the mystery lies not in the “mind” but beyond it, in the luminous life of the risen Lord, the Spiritual Man. 22. When the psychical nature takes on the form of the spiritual intelligence, by reflecting it, then the Self becomes conscious of its own spiritual intelligence. EEING IS THE WORK OF A PART OF ITSELF ONE PART OBSERVING THE OTHER AND THUS LEAVING NO NEED NOR PLACE FOR THE SPIRITUAL MAN TO THIS STRATEGY THE ARGUMENT IS OPPOSED BY OUR PHILOSOPHER THAT THIS WOULD BE NO TRUE SOLUTION BUT ONLY A POSTPONEMENT OF THE SOLUTION FOR WE SHOULD HAVE TO FIND YET ANOTHER PART OF THE MIND TO VIEW THE FIRST OBSERVING PART AND THEN ANOTHER TO OBSERVE THIS AND SO ON ENDLESSLY THE TRUE SOLUTION IS THAT THE SPIRITUAL MAN LOOKS DOWN UPON THE PSYCHIC NATURE AND OBSERVES IT WHEN HE VIEWS THE PSYCHIC PICTURES GALLERY THIS IS MEMORY WHICH WOULD BE A HOPELESS INEXTRICABLE CONFUSION IF WE THOUGHT OF ONE PART OF THE MIND WITH ITS MEMORIES VIEWING ANOTHER PART WITH MEMORIES OF ITS OWN THE SOLUTION OF THE MYSTERY LIES NOT IN THE MIND BUT BEYOND IT IN THE LUMINOUS LIFE OF THE RISEN LORD THE SPIRITUAL MAN SUTRA TWENTY TWO WHEN THE PSYCHICAL NATURE TAKES ON THE FORM OF THE SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE BY REFLECTING IT THEN THIS SELF BECOMES CONSCIOUS OF ITS OWN SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE
