Lost Souls and Soulless Human Beings

The difference between lost souls and soulless human beings is that Lost Souls have been so evil, and also have given no thought to their spiritual nature throughout their many lives and incarnations that the Antahkarana or bridge between the lower being and the higher human being has been broken. The destiny of these lost souls is dreadful. Outside of the awful inner agony that they suffer, their mental torture and the psychical horror which overwhelm them and their almost unimaginable despair, they can become veritable quasi-human demons, not only wrecking evil of all kinds upon their fellow men, and because of their own despair joying in it, but they themselves meanwhile are rushing downwards with increasing velocity with each new reimbodiment, and finally are attracted to the 'Pit' and dropping therein pass out of the Earth's sphere of attraction and are heard and seen no more. In the Pit, because they are failures, their destiny is to be broken up as human remnants and to be ground over and over.

Yet even though the Antahkarana has been broken, there is yet a chance for reunion with the god within, at least in the beginning and before the distance between the god within and the personality has become too great; so that even a single desperate spiritual thought or yearning will be enough to draw together again the dissevered portions of the human constitution. Should such reunion take place, it may become permanent provided that by intense upward striving the personal man, having learned his lesson, knits ever more closely the higher personal aspects into the sublime webbing of his spiritual being.

Soulless beings are still complete septenary individuals, human beings in whom the higher 'soul' or Spiritual Nature is but feebly or only occasionally active, and hence, because the Spiritual Soul is almost inactive within them, they are very properly called 'soulless'.

Soulless human beings are exceedingly common amongst us, for when we see a human being almost completely enwrapped by the attributes, feelings and/or emotions and thoughts of the mere personality and its whimsies and wants, its restricted outlooks and selfish egoisms with only rare or fleeting moments when the Spiritual Nature ensouls them, we are bound to call them soulless.

After many reincarnations of such a human being, the Spiritual Soul may and very probably will cause the breaking of the Antahkarana, thus producing a lost soul. I cannot weigh too heavily on the most urgent need of cultivating the Spiritual Nature by aspiring towards it and by living the life in accordance with the mandates received from within.
