Life — Ray — Soul
Question — I am a great lover of animals, and have just lost a beautiful
pet cat of which I was very fond. What happens to that life when it goes out?
Does it evolve and progress, or is its life meaningless?
Uranda’s Answer — The last question
shows the results produced by the maze of human conjecturing and theorizing. No
manifestation of life is “meaningless” yet the life of the cat, or any other
animal, does not “evolve and progress” in the sense indicated by most
teachings. All life manifestations, vegetable, animal and human, are forms from
which the process of Ascension takes place. The body of the cat is in constant
flux, just as surely as with all animal life, including the human phase.
However, the animals do not have an Inner Soul in the same sense that human
beings do. With all animal life there is what may be called a Life-Ray-Soul.
The formations of the Inner Planes which correspond to the vegetable
and animal kingdoms of the outer world, though they are in no sense similar in
formation, and cannot well be described in human language, are all of Positive
Substance which has Ascended through the material planes. These formations each
radiate a Life-Ray to which the Seed of the corresponding earth manifestation responds,
so that the Life-Ray is received by the germ of the seed. The vibration is set
and cannot be changed to any great degree. Every animal has a Life-Ray connecting
it with the Inner Plane Manifestations, and over this Life-Ray the Responding Substance
of that animal Ascends into the Inner Planes, and so becomes a part of what might
be called (for no term could really name it) the Inner Plane Animal Kingdom.
Very sensitive people sometimes become aware of these Life-Rays, and
from them have come the stories of “Nature spirits”, “Tree Spirits”, “Mountain
spirits”, and the like. A recently published book by quite a widely known teacher
is supposed to describe certain “Beings”, both of this earth and of other planets.
I would mention at this point that those who think that they have journeyed to
other planets, and to the sun, have only contacted in some faint sense some of
the Inner Plane manifestations of this world, and have attempted to describe
them when they themselves did not understand them—and the result has been much
confusion. Needless to say, those who claim to have travelled to other planets
have not done so. It is possible to know that there is Life Manifestation on
every planet; but the important thing is for human beings to begin to
understand our own planet.
