enters into a body. I told you that the body is formed in a very unsatisfactory
manner almost in the case of every person, the exceptions are so rare that one
need not mention them. I told you that because of this obscure birth man is
made to carry with him quite a bundle of things which later on he has generally
to get rid of, if he wishes to progress truly in life. I told you in effect
that you are made to come by force, conditions are imposed upon you by force,
and by force you obey the laws of heredity. Now, I am asked who or what is it
that forces? I shall answer as clearly as possible.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-indent:11.0pt;mso-line-height-alt:
11.75pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>The
body is formed by a man and a woman who are the father and the mother; these
when they form the body have no means to ask of the being whom they are
bringing into the world whether he likes it or whether it is agreeable to his
destiny. They impose upon the body, by the force of necessity, an atavism, an
environment and subsequently an education which are almost always obstacles to
future growth. A growing soul or a soul full-grown taking birth in a body has
to fight against these circumstances that are forced upon him by the animal
birth in order to find his true path and discover his own self in its fullness.</p>

11.75pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>It
is possible, however, for the parents, instead of doing the thing in the animal
way, driven by mere instinct and desire, most of the time even without wanting
it, to do it with a conscious will, aspiring, praying almost that the body
they are about to bring forth should be a form suitable to clothe a soul coming
at their call. I have known people, – there are not many, of course, still
there are some, – who chose especial circumstances, prepared themselves,
holding an attitude of concentration, meditation and aspiration, invoking some
exceptional being to come into the body they were to form. For that one must
have also an

ancient times, in some civilisations and even now in some countries, the
expectant woman is kept specially in a surrounding of beauty and harmony and
peace and ease and very normal physical conditions so that the coming child may
be formed under the best circumstances. Evidently this is as it should be, for
it is within human possibilities. Human beings have developed enough not to
consider it as an exceptional thing. And yet in fact, it is an exceptional
thing, for there are very few people who think of it, most are in the habit of
producing children without giving a thought to it. But the least that is
expected of man is that he should be somewhat conscious and do the things he
has to do in the best of conditions.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-indent:12.0pt;mso-line-height-alt:
11.75pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>Now,
a fully formed conscious soul wanting to take birth looks generally from its
psychic domain for a corresponding psychic light upon some place on earth. In
its previous birth, before leaving the earthly atmosphere, it chose, as the
result of its total experience in that life, the conditions of its future life,
not in details, but more or less in a general way. Such cases are very
exceptional. We here perhaps can speak of it, but for the majority of the human
population, even among the most well-educated, the question does not arise.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-indent:12.0pt;mso-line-height-alt:
11.75pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>Normally
we are dealing with a soul that is growing, which is in the process of its
growth. Now, there are all the stages of growth, from the tiniest spark that is
becoming a little flame of light up to the fully conscious and fully formed
being. This ascent of the soul in order to become a mature conscious being,
having its own will and deciding its own destiny, takes thousands of years.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify;text-indent:10.55pt;mso-line-height-alt:
11.75pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>When,
however, it is a free and conscious soul that seeks to take a body again upon
earth, it begins to work upon the body even before the birth. Such being the
case, it has no reason not to accept the inconveniences that result from the
ignorance of the parents. It has chosen its place for a reason which is a
reason not of ignorance: it saw a light – which may be simply a light of
possibility; but there was a light and that is why it came there. And when from
the domain of the psychic it looks upon the earth and has chosen its place of
birth, the choice has sufficient discernment in it not to have made a gross
mistake.</p>

parents have naturally a particular formation, they have a particular kind of
good or bad health; at the very best, they have a lot of atavistic tendencies,
habits, subconscious and even conscious complexes, deriving from their own
birth, their environment and the life they have led. And even if they are remarkable
people, in their own way, usually they carry an amount of things, that are
contrary to the true psychic life, I mean, even if they are the very best, the
most conscious. And when the parents have done their utmost to give their
children the best education, the children come in contact with all kinds of
other people who have a great influence upon them especially when they are very
young; these influences enter into the subconscious and they have to be fought
against later on.</p>

difficulties, coming more or less from the subconscient, that rise to the surface
