Demolition of the past is a chapter in the Natural Path
structure built upon it. But if one likes to dispense with it altogether he must then necessarily be relieved of the root-force which is the basis of existence-kshob. Nothing in nature loses existence; only form and function are changed from time to time.(SS-357)
The above shows that the end result of the ‘demolition of the past’, the past here taken to mean the ‘made-up superstructure’, is the regulated state of the mind on which the past impressions, complexities and biases have lost their hold and the thus ‘freed mind’ has been brought to its original condition of being akin to the first mind of God/kshob. The kshob as indicated above is the foundation, the root force the basis of all existence (which obviously cannot be destroyed).
What has been effected is the transformation in the nature of the individual mind from its current spoiled state to what it was in its pristine condition. Now it is as if we have become totally dead to the ‘past’ as if it did not exist at all! We see that this theme of ‘destroying the old edifice and erecting a new edifice in its place without brick and mortar’ (excluding the poisonous effects of materiality) is taken up by the Master while He deals with divinization in His message ‘Problem and its solution’.
When the ‘past’ is destroyed or made totally ineffective by the ‘collapsing of the palace walls’, ‘the chapter of demolition comes to a close and the ground has been prepared for the work of divinity namely divinization of the system after removing its devilization, which had been brought about by the misutilization of the primary thought power inherited by him (man).
