Human beings - knowing ourselves through matter

Although they do not know it, human beings are immense. They know themselves in the divine world above; but they must get to know themselves here, too, through the medium of matter, and that is where the difficulty lies. Have you seen a cat playing with its tail? As the cat does not know that the tail is his, he chases it, bites it, and is astonished at the painful result. You, too, are like a cat: one day, you discover the extremity of your being, here on the physical plane, and not realizing what it is, you give it a bite, and of course you scream because you discover that this trailing tail is a part of you. Our being is spread throughout space*, and one day we will have to get to know who we are. The ‘cat’s tail’ represents our physical body, and now we must work to know ourselves through the matter of our own bodies. This is what makes our lives so difficult, but also so very worth living.
