What is the position of the soul?

Humanity is measured by its own measurement. 

Each soul takes its own position in earth life, according to its own estimate.

Why?

Because each person has his own particular and individual grasp of the Universal Mind―he selects it by his desire and formulates it by his intentive will, and he can increase it by his increasing desire and develop it by his more conscious will―or he may think around and around in the same little rut until he becomes too indifferent to reach out into Universal Mind at all and subsists on the small part he has already selected, and then it will follow as the night follows the day that he orders his life by somebody else's opinion and that his possessions are the result of somebody else's creative energy.
