2,2: the Spirit In the Flesh
19: The Experience of the Soul through the Experience of Another
The soul experiences life through one's own spirit and also through the spirit of another, sometimes consciously, but mostly unconsciously.
It is not only in obsession that the soul experiences through the spirit of another; on the contrary it is the spirit of another that experiences through one's own spirit in obsession. Thought-reading, knowing the feeling of another, receiving sympathetic impressions upon oneself, all these things are the experiences of our soul through the spirit of another.
Then there are dreams of strange character, thoughts that do not belong to us, and different feelings that come for no reason. These are nothing but the experiences of our soul through the spirit of another. It is difficult to achieve such an experience consciously, though one often has it unconsciously. The man who can experience consciously through another person's spirit has solved his limited individuality from his soul. He is already on the journey to perfection, for in time his soul becomes the soul of all.
