Anyone wishing to progress on the path of evolution must give priority to the spirit, to light.

"Anyone wishing to progress on the path of evolution must give
priority to the spirit, to light. But in order to do so, they
have to at least feel they need to. Unfortunately you cannot
conjure up the need; you are either born with it or not,
depending on the life you led in other incarnations. If a being
comes into the world with a taste for spirituality, it will take
very little, just a book or a few words, to provide an
unstoppable impulse. Whereas, for a different person, even if the
greatest initiates are there to give them explanations and
advice, it won’t make any difference. As long as they harbour
tendencies that take them in quite a different direction, that is
where they will go.
So that you can enter your next incarnation with this need to
live the life of the spirit, you should, as from today, at least
make an effort to understand the benefits of doing so. Even if
you do not have much of a taste for it, begin to prepare the
ground. When you come back, your work will be easier, because you
will already have sown a few seeds."
