CHAPTER XII

ASTRAL SELF-EXPRESSION

It is one of the saddest features of earthlife that we find ourselves unable to express to the fullest the creative impulse, the artistic urge, the striving of the genius within us to unfold itself. After passing a certain place in the scale of life, the evolving soul finds within itself the ever present urge of the something within which is striving to express and unfold itself into objective manifestation. It may be the craving to express in art, music, literature, invention or it may be the insistent desire to be at work remodeling the affairs of the world nearer to the soul's desire. In all of such cases, it is really the creative impulse at work, striving to "make things" in objective form, in accordance with the pattern or model within the soul. And toward such expression, head, heart and hand is eager to work.

But, alas, very few are able to realize in earth-life one tithe of what the soul dreams.
