Regarding spiritual integration, a good analogy is of a guitar. Your physical, astral (emotional), causal (memory/habitual), mental, etheric (subconscious/intuitive) and soul bodies can each be compared to one of the guitar’s strings. Individually, they each have their own resonant frequency. But no one string is better than another. The fact that the high “E” string (i.e. Soul) is two octaves above the bottom “E” (physical body) does not make it somehow superior. And while you may appreciate the beauty of the individual notes, it is a whole other experience entirely when they are played together, harmoniously, as a scale or chord.
This, to me, is the essence of self-realization: bringing all of your bodies (or expressions of your Self) into a harmonious tuning with each other. Once they are in tune, they can then be played by the Eternal, becoming conscious, loving human expressions of the Light, Music and Love of the Spiritual Current.
I hope this analogy makes sense.
In the LightSong of Eternal Love,
Have a Beautiful Day!
