→Heredity
Heredity is only a material shadow of soul-reproduction, of the rebirth of Life and Mind into new forms. Ordinarily, as a constant factor or basis, there is the reproduction of that which was already evolved; for new characteristics to be propagated in the species they must have been accepted, received, sanctioned in the vital and mental worlds; then only can they be automatically self-reproduced from the material seed. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/16/evolution#p17</ref>
==Higher Vital==
...the term 'higher vital' is confined to that larger movement of the conscious life-force which is concerned with creation, with power and force and conquest, with giving and self-giving and gathering from the world for further action and expenditure of power, throwing itself out in the wider movements of life, responsive to the greater objects of Nature. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/sabcl/22/planes-and-parts-of-the-being-x#p13</ref>
==Holocaust of the Divine==
Man is precisely that term and symbol of a higher Existence descended into the material world in which it is possible for the lower to transfigure itself and put on the nature of the higher and the higher to reveal itself in the form of the lower. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/20/life-and-yoga#p4</ref>
Man is God hiding himself from Nature so that he may possess her by struggle, insistence, violence and surprise. God is universal and transcendent Man hiding himself from his own individuality in the human being.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/16/man-the-purusha#p6</ref>
