The Seven- fold Constitution of Humanity 257 



Thus man must master these forces or be mas- 

 tered by them; and his whole task in life is the 

 transmutation of lower forces into higher, whereby 

 he may develop the spiritual forces within and 

 come into conscious recognition of his soul, his 

 Higher Ego. 



What chiefly concerns us, then, is to gain con- 

 sciousness on the spiritual plane. It is only a 

 question of seeking the highest, and compelling 

 obedience from the horde of trivialities on the 

 lower plane which commonly occupy our entire 

 field of consciousness, holding us there with their 

 insistent demands.
