Integrity means harmony

between the outside world and the inner world, that the life within supports the life in the physical plane and vice versa. The Astral world above the mental and vital and physical, cannot tolerate any disharmony, when you too become attuned to this relationship, integrity becomes paramount for the maturity of the journey, for it is in the higher realms that we become tutored in the ways of the spirit and are introduced to the being that is within and creates all that we imagine is without. the real learning within is in the astral body that is undergoing the education and experiences unavailable to the human physical and mental. these are the arena of the ego, and are not easily swayed from their set course and duties. so the beings from the astral plane descend to this world and take on the task to help, to work with the deluded beings and those with the aspiration with the love and devotion, with the performance of right actions, demonstrate that they are prepared for the knowledge and grace that they use as teaching tools. Once you begin astral school, you have to start living by the rules of integrity in all things, the world within begins to reshape the world without, instead of the other way around as it has been for most of your life. The job changes, the relationships are renegotiated, the friends become just people, the world a toy box made for children but no longer where you spend your time, you are now in the phase of growing up, and the things of a child are put away. education is a matter of opening yourself to that which brings more light and love into your life, your heart, your work. you create an intention that carries you through all your decisions. you begin to undo the samskaras of lifetimes. Samskaras are the key decisions we make that affect how we relate to our live and others for large portions of our lives. when we are just babies we create fear samskaras that we take through life, when we get older we create samskaras that control ourselves and others, strengthening the hold of the ego, at each juncture when we are faced with a decision to let more love in or to be right, to do what we know is positive yet we choose the negative, then the samskaras are created and fortified over and over. IT is only through integrity in all things that we can start to dissolve these in our current life and go beyond, literally to a new order of existence.
