Manifestation then, is the vehicle (carrying character) of universal
consciousness, and we may logically assume that manifestation is due to
the necessity of developing individualized entities, who may, through
successive phases of conscious unfoldment, or uncovering of areas of
Being, become gods.
The western writers, and indeed, many Oriental seers prefer to put it thus:
"become fit to dwell with God, in eternal bliss and power."
To dwell with God, must be to become gods. Once more, we must remember that
only gods are immortal. Souls continue to exist after the physical body has
been discarded, for the reason that no body in these days, lives as long as
its psychic counterpart or dweller. But, although the soul continues to
exist on another plane of note of the _scale of vibration_, it does not
argue that the identity shall continue eternally, except in such instances,
as when the soul through numbers of incarnations shall have finally
accomplished the purpose of its pilgrimage and attained to _mukti_
(liberation from the law of change and death).
