There is also another outlook on this subject: that although the soul, as a ray, goes forward to the physical sphere, yet its nature is to go backward, because it follows the law of gravitation. Just as the body which is made of clay is drawn to the earth, so the soul which belongs to the spirit is drawn to the spirit. "But", one may say, "we can see the body drawn to the earth, we can see all things of the earth drawn to the earth, but we do not see the law of gravitation working in the soul." Actually we do see it, but we deny it, because we do not look at it in that way.
