The shooting forth of the soul from Consciousness can be symbolized as an arrow. The arrow shot up in the air goes up as far as the will and power of the sender has predestined it, and when it reaches its almost height, there comes its return. The death of the physical life is the return of that arrow back. Of course, on its return, it may be detained on its way, perhaps, as the arrow is sometimes caught in the branches of a tree, but it has its return some day or other to the earth, its own element. It does not go up again from there by any means. So it is with the human soul, which, after finishing its purpose on earth, returns to its origin, bound by its drawing power. God bless you.
