The soul, in it's existence prior to becoming an indweller in the mortal body, has a consciousness of its existence and of its relationship to God and to other parts of the Great Soul, and more especially of the duplex character of its being. In otherwords, the sexual differences in the two parts of the soul, which, in the way that they are united, constitutes the one complete soul.

When the time comes for this soul to become an indweller in the mortal frame, the two parts separate and only one of the parts enters at the same time into a mortal and never into the same mortal. While this separation is necessary for the individualization of each part of this one complete soul yet the two parts never lose that interrelationship or the binding qualities that existed before their separation and which continue to exist thereafter, and in the great future after the work of individualization shall be completed, will come together again and reunite in a complete one.

This separation may exist a longer or shorter time depending upon the similar development of those similar qualities that are absolutely necessary in order that this coming together in the original one, as it were, may take place.

This soul, before its separation, has a consciousness of its existence and when its duplex character leaves it, or rather leaves the two separated parts, and thereafter, until its re-entrance into the Spirit World, does not again return to these parts.

But in order to regain this consciousness, it is not necessary that both of these parts at the same time shall come again into the spirit life for if one part becomes a spirit, free from the physical body, and the other part remains in the mortal body, that part that comes into the Spirit World may receive the awakening to this consciousness depending upon certain conditions and developments.

It often happens that both these parts will return to the Spirit World and for a long time live as spirits without having a restoration of this consciousness because of various reasons that may exist. The conditions of the development of the two parts may be so vastly different that the realization of this consciousness may be wholly impossible; and very often it is the case that when these two individualized parts are informed, that they are the soulmate of each other, they will not believe that information and live on in utter indifference to the fact.

But ultimately the consciousness of their relationship will come to them, because of their development no matter whether intellectual or spiritual, will tend towards the awakening of this consciousness which is always present with them although dormant.

As to what this soul is in its constituent parts or shapes or form prior to its separation for the purpose of becoming an inhabitant of the mortal body, the spirits of the Spirit World are not informed and do not know.

They are often present at the conception and also the birth of a child and realize that a soul has become enveloped in the flesh, but they cannot see the soul as it enters into that home of mortal environment because it is invisible and has no form; but after it's lodgment in the human body, they can perceive it and realize it's existence for then it assumes a form. And that form varies in different incarnations or in the incarnations in different humans.

When the soul becomes incarnated and assumes an individualized form, it never again returns to it's condition of pre-existence and can never again become reincarnated in the existence of any human being.

There is no such thing as reincarnation and all the theories and speculations of men upon that question, which conclude that a soul once incarnated can again become incarnated are wrong, for the incarnation of a soul is only one step in it's destined progress from an invisible formless existence to a Glorious Angel or to a perfected spirit.

A soul in this progress never retraces its steps. It is always progressing though sometimes stagnation takes place but continues as an individualized spirit until it reaches it's goal in fulfillment of the Father's plan for the perfecting of His Universe.
