“The
undeveloped man must undergo countless earthly and astral and causal
incarnations in order to emerge from his three bodies. A master who achieves
this final freedom may elect to return to earth as a prophet to bring other
human beings back to God, or like myself he may choose to reside in the astral
cosmos. There a savior assumes some of the burden of the inhabitants’ karma and
thus helps them to terminate their cycle of reincarnation in the astral cosmos
and go on permanently to the causal spheres. Or a freed soul may enter the
causal world to aid its beings to shorten their span in the causal body and
thus attain the Absolute Freedom.”
