I think Jan van Rijckenborgh was referring to organic portals when he talked about "life spark entities," which he distinguished from "spirit spark entities." This is how the former are defined in the Glossary of The Egyptian Arch-Gnosis, Parts 3 and 4: "The Life-Spark Entities: Nature-born entities lacking the rose of the heart, the spirit-spark atom. These persons are totally orientated towards existence in the material sphere of the earth. They feel completely at home there and lack any inner life. They are, in fact, not people, but solely natural phenomena, absolutely insusceptible to spiritual contact. A way of life, persistently deviating from God, inevitably generates life-spark entities, which come and go without leaving behind any positive effects. Present-day mankind consists of many hundreds of millions of this kind of ‘simulated’ human being."
But he felt they could be redeemed. In The Egyptian Arch-Gnosis Part 3, Chapter 33, he said, "the children of God and the children of nature have widely divergent interests. The children of God, in so far as they are in the state of imprisonment, seek to flee the world. The children of nature seek and desire to maintain the world. So their efforts are diametrically opposed. In this context, we are using the word ‘world’ in its narrow sense, to mean the nature-born life-field.
If the children of God were to take the lead on earth, this would be accompanied by a complete alteration of the astral conditions of our life-field. The astral field of the nature of death would become like the gnostic astral field, a field full of serenity and the highest purity. The reflection sphere would be emptied. All those selfmaintaining reflection sphere processes would become impossible. All the conditions of existence in our life-field would change. The earthly field of genesis would no longer provide life-spark entities with any possibility of existence. The millions of life-spark entities that populate the earth would simply not be able to exist any longer, and so it would be as if they had been murdered. [...]
Another possibility is that the life-spark entities could, through reconstruction of their microcosms, be restored to the childship of God. If an entity did not possess the classic, primordial atom of the spirit in his microcosm, it would be possible, by reconstructing the microcosmic field, by bringing the spirit into it, to introduce into the microcosm what was not previously present within it.
Creatures always come forth from the fundamental nature. The original nucleus of every creature unfolds on the basis of the creative idea underlying it. If this idea and the nucleus of the creature are not from the spirit, then a child of God will not develop. However, if this idea is of God, then a child of God will develop.
So the child of God is a creature who has to behave in accordance with the fundamental idea underlying his being. If he deviates from that idea, then he will have to undergo all kinds of difficulties and consuming processes until finally he has to return to the original idea. If the idea originates from a different cosmocracy, then a different type of being will arise, a different orientation, a different starting point, a different aim.
However, we repeat that it is possible for entities who have an aeonic origin to be restored to, and by, the idea of the universal spirit. The first prerequisite for this is to preach, throughout the world, a universal doctrine of the spirit. The second is to establish and realise a genuine Church of the Spirit. The third is to adapt the life-field, mankind's field of genesis, to the requirements of the spirit, as a result of which the creature will submit to the spirit.
In this way, an entity that was not originally a child of God from the beginning, can become one through the re-creation of the microcosm."
In The Egyptian Arch-Gnosis, Part 4, Chapter 10, he said: "All human bodies are moved by a ’soul-state’, and stand at the centre of a microcosm. In some cases the microcosm is already considerably developed and of a high quality. In other cases, as is the situation with life-sparks, there is no microcosm but only an elementary astral principle. But whatever the case, in every microcosm and in every astral principle, be it of life-spark entities or animals, there is a nucleus. From this nucleus a radiation emanates, aimed at the heart of the creature concerned and causing a movement, a certain disposition, within it."
He also mentioned life-spark entities and spirit-spark entities in Unmasking, Part 1 ("The Shadow of Coming Events"), section 3.
