Pain to the ego, the pull towards materiality seems bigger hence the need for faith above reason must also deepen.

Too identify the steps of corrections and how to implement it in daily lives.

In the previous 10 weeks I have answers to the questions of what to act in all situations, although situations may change but the fundamental perception that Everything is the Creator has changed the way I act towards these situations. I also observe that it is true that I am still not able to be in that state 24/7 and my wish is that this course will solidify the habit of remembering that perception at as much time as possible, and to really practice the habit to ‘love others as yourself’.

Thank you.

Are these four states explaining reincarnation in relation to the states of the soul? Can you please help check if my understanding comes close to the topic we are trying to understand:

1. first factor explains that the soul is unchanging no matter what garbs it takes on its outer form

2. second factor explains the ‘programs’ of that creates the desire to take garbs or outer forms for the sake of creation, but already has its own unique pattern

3. the third factor explains how the unique pattern of the soul responds to the outside factors (environment) that is still part of creation, touching the desires that make up the unique pattern

4. the fourth factor explains about the environment that keeps the soul in the cycle

I am probably coming at this from the point of view of karma (the law of cause and effect), and in my mind as I was listening to the video is that these are what keeps our desires entangled in the cycle, and that the environment is created specifically for the maturing of desires thus in the corporeal world there is really no free will  because we (our desires) choose to be in the specific environment that bestows realization for the desires, which also means that the true free will is to switch to an alternate (albeit altruistic) desire that is to realize the unchanging soul (as in the first factor).

This is still too confusing for my mind. Please help enlighten my understanding. Thank you.

Thank you, it helps. Faith is the first point until we experience it first hand.
