CHILDREN\'S GUARDIAN REPORT
I'm sure this must be a typo, but a dear friend of mine insists it is not, so... I hope someone out there knows whether this is a foreign word or whatever.
Let us explain briefly the necessity for the soul to be lowered into a body, which incurs to it so much anquish. We know that the newly-created instrument of recipiency must be inverted, through training, until it can feel the perfection that comes from the act of imparting.
Thanks!
