There is no distinction between the Self and the spirit. The psychic is the soul that develops in the evolution – the spirit is the Self that is not affected by the evolution, it is above it – only it is covered or concealed by the activity of mind, vital and body. The removal of this covering is the release of the spirit – and it is removed when there is a full and wide spiritual silence.
