"Human beings are all so different! But this difference does not come from their spirits being different; no, all spirits are flames. Just as drops of spray from the sea have the same qualities and properties due to their common origin, so all spirits are sparks sprung from the bosom of the Lord and are the same as him.

Spirits are therefore identical, but, since leaving the bosom of the Lord, they have had to follow different routes and cross different regions because of having different missions to fulfil. So they have each lived their own adventures and taken in their own impressions and knowledge. Their experience differs, but in their essence, their quintessence, their sublime nature, they are identical."
