different esoteric schools (theosophical, Rosicrucian, Gnostic, etc.), and although
with somewhat different classifications, they preserve the true essence of the matter.
Therefore, it will be taken for granted that the student reading these writings already
knows about the human constitution 'bio-psychosocial' (material, soulful and
spiritual), which in esotericism is often studied broken down as a "constitution

the integral man (and at the same time, each of the 7 planes of the constitution is
divided into 7 sub-planes or gradations of energy...). If the reader does not have the

The human being is essentially a "spark of divine life," unborn, because

‘always was, is and will be’, being therefore ‘eternal’, or rather ‘timeless’, and is
indestructible. The purpose of this indestructible "spark" of Life is to insert itself
in the field of temporary and spatial life to 'soak up' the multiple
cyclical experiences of EVOLUTION in the multiple material spheres. For

of such 'planetary evolutionary schemata', generator of multiform life and

different evolutionary cycles that do not touch the physical-chemical matter of 3D.

In spirituality and esotericism, figurative symbols have commonly been used.

to refer to the essence of Divinity in man and in all things, such as
for example the "drop" of the Ocean, the "seed", the "Divine Atom", the "Particle

qualities of consciousness.

The process of evolution consists of the transmigration of 'the sparks' in form

in form until completing the cycles.

In theosophy, this 'spiritual spark' is referred to as 'Monad'.

Rosicrucian Christianity 'Virginal Spirit', in India 'Atman' or 'Purusha', etc., and in
the most recent literature of 'The Urantia Book' is called "Adjuster of
Thought" and "Divine Monitor" or "Mysterious Monitor," but in all cases the
reference is to the 'Spiritual Spark', the Divine essence immanent in all
evolving things.

Clarification: In Theosophy, it is explained that the Spark or Monad evolves from the
state of mineral life going forward, which is why it is referred to in terms of "monad"
mineral, plant monad, animal monad, and human monad, making this
way of referencing the time and cycle through which the spiritual Spark is going
in its 'evolutionary journey'. When the Spark had already crossed the lower realms
(inhuman) and penetrates, with individualization, into the human realm, receives the
name of 'Human Monad' or 'Virgin Spirit' of man. In The Urantia Book,
instead, the reference to the "Thought Adjuster" always refers to the Spark of
spiritual consciousness only in the human being.

Although this 'spiritual spark' retains all of the intact attributes of the
Absolute, it is however, at the beginning of the great 'evolutionary journey', a 'virgin spark'
in consciousness (at least with regard to the consciousness of material worlds
of time and space), which is why traveling to the material spheres will generate,
with the frictions of multiple experiences, a new 'fire' or energy that
will ignite 'the Spark', ceasing to be 'virgin' to acquire a new one
condition. This new 'Fire' that is generated in the Spark with experiences is
THE CONSCIOUSNESS. When referring to this word, one should not think only about being
human, since there exists 'mineral consciousness', 'plant consciousness' and the
animal consciousness" (in addition to, through another branch, "elemental and devic consciousness" and
"the angelic consciousness" at its different levels, "the planetary consciousness"
etc.) Therefore, and as explained, it can be affirmed that: "the whole way
of the evolution, of all living entities in the universe (from the mineral,
to man, and from man to the star) is a sacred path for the generation of
‘Fire of Conscience’, which with each progress, from kingdom to kingdom of life, will go
in expansion.

'The fire of consciousness,' full of qualities, is 'the Treasure' that the Spark

What happens to 'the Spark' during the human stage…?

During the human stage, the 'Spark' or 'Monad' is covered with layers that,
functioning as 'vehicles', they will be the field of experimentation to generate everything
the 'Fire of conscience' that can be generated in the human realm.

Just as in the mineral kingdom, the spiritual spark must gather experiences from
the different chemical affinities of the elements and of the great pressures and
geological temperatures to which minerals are subjected, this being the field
of the experiential life of the Spirit in the mineral; and just as the plant kingdom and
then the living field that the animal kingdom offers presents different conditions
and suitable for the development of the Spark's consciousness in those realms; thus
also, in the human kingdom, the Spark is ready to cross a field of
different experiences that, resting on the foundation of consciousness
mineral, vegetable, and animal already achieved, it must now add new experiences of
consciousness.

In the human kingdom, the first thing to achieve is "SELF-AWARENESS" or "awareness of

"I". In this awareness, man recognizes himself primarily as a personal I,
separate from the rest, with particular tastes, ideas, attractions, and repulsions that
makes the self 'a different person' from others. That is to say, first the

'psychological' (consider that 'psyche' is 'soul') is that of 'materiality', in
in which the human being mainly experiences its 'material being' (having
forgotten for the moment its Divine essence, that is to say 'its Spark', which comes from the
Kingdom of Unity). This "materiality" in the process includes, aside from the body
physical, to the body of desires and to the concrete mind. In this field of experience, the

humanity will go through many reincarnations until, with the maturation of the
challenging karmic experiences awaken within them the
need to experiment in another field of life: 'the world of ideas'. There
the true development of intellect and intelligence begins, the first
aspect that, when awakening in the human being, will clearly differentiate them from the
'instinctive animal psyche' and of the other lesser kingdoms. It's not that before their mind
it was not working (since, as already mentioned, the concrete mind was already an active part
in the 'material being'), but rather the mind merely responded, mechanically, to the
emotional flashes and impulses of the body of desires. But in this new field of
experiences, 'the mental field', the mind acquires a new and its own life and goes away
becoming independent from the impulses and demands of the tireless body of desires.
Thus arises the reasoning mind, with its faculties for logical thinking,
analogical and philosophical, and begins an inner struggle between the demands
insistents of the body of desires and the mental consciousness, which begins to
receive, little by little, the effluents of supramental energies coming from the
forgotten 'Divine Spark' (Atma-Buddhi).

During these two fields of human experiential life (the material field and the field
mental), which occurs during many reincarnations of the soul, man has in
occasional flashes of her "spiritual spark", as a way of essential remembrance...
which produce 'internal experiences' that lead him to rethink his life and the
they are moving closer to some kind of religious life. But it does not become
authentically "religious", in the true sense of the word ("re-link")
until the Call of the Inner Spark is felt clearly and
powerful, producing some type of mystical and/or authentically creative experience.
In these cases, the pilgrim becomes religious (though not necessarily
proselyte of some organized religion), artist, philosopher, lover of truth,
philanthropist, or a bit of all these things at once…, and in later stages
find the inner path in the teachings of esotericism or occultism
spiritual, which brings him peace by receiving, little by little, clear answers to
ancient questions about seemingly incongruous issues of life,
paradoxical or seemingly irreconcilable...

At this stage, 'the field of experiences' will no longer just be the material and the
mental, but rather it will include a field of experiences that could be called
spiritual, as the traveler must go beyond the concrete mind and more
including the abstract mind, (with which it will have progressed in the world of
the meanings and interpretations of the causes). This 'new experiential field'
It is the one of the buddhic spheres (intuitive) and atmic (spiritual) and it has to do with
with a more direct realization of the Truth, no longer just through belief,
it is from the emerging and growing 'intuitive faith' and experiential living.

It is clear that the experiential field of manas (mind), especially of the mind
superior or abstract, will be closely interrelated to the experiential field of buddhi
(spiritual mind) and atma (pure spirit), due to the fact that 'atma-buddhi-manas'
they make up the trinal expression, or 'Spiritual Triad' of the Spark or Divine Monad.

The objective of the immersion of the Divine Spark in matter and the subsequent
the evolution through the different kingdoms of life is to acquire 'consciousness', like
it has already been said, in its different qualities, but in the human kingdom there exists the
specialized purpose of:

1- Becoming self-aware of each plane and of each envelope of the Monad

(wrappings: buddhic or intuitional, mental, astral, etheric, and physical). This
means, with a broad understanding, 'self-knowledge'.

2- Learn to master the material of each wrapping, until creating with the material of
each plane "a special body" to function with consciousness in that plane.

3- Gather all experiences from the different worlds or spheres and of the
vehicles created in each world or sphere, transforming this entire unified field
of experiences in 'Wisdom', which is the only thing that will endure in the end of the
experience of the Spark in the human stage, once all the vehicles

the mind is 'the principle' or aspect, in the human constitution, that must be
fostered in the course of the current Aryan race to the point of developing the
'mental body'. For this reason, the current race could be called "mental race,"
but still only a percentage of current humanity could be said to be
"mental," as a large percentage of humans have not yet overcome the stage
corresponding to the 'material experiential field' where the sensory predominates,
desire and irrationality above the mind. The 'mental man' is the one that
employs all 'the mental faculties' and has acquired the good and necessary
habit of discerning and reflecting always and each time with more depth, taking their

The future race, which could be called "Buddhic or solar race," will be
intended to particularly promote the development of the buddhic-atmic body, or
'Body of Light'. Such 'subtle body' is currently under development in
a smaller number of individuals, and corresponds to what is called '4°' in esotericism

teachings and practices necessary for their progress.

When the prepared aspirant embarks on the path of meditation, he thus gives his
first step in what is 'a long internal path of vibrational changes', the

The human being goes through various processes of inner self-transformation during the

corresponding to the determined construction of the Body of Light with transfiguration

The development and purification of the vehicles of the personality mostly occur
during the first three 'initiations' of consciousness or soul. The construction
of the Light Body begins with the vitalization and excitation of the 'Nous Atom' (atom
spiritual seed) in the 2nd initiation and completes its development in the 4th
initiation.
