Bee,

Edge is one of my favorites too and may have been the most
prolific writer in the Pt. Loma TS. Unfortunately there are no
collected writings of HTE and only a few pamphlets of his in
print.

I have not studied your life atoms posting closely yet. But have
you read anything about the Jain religion? They are perhaps the
"experts" when it comes to life atoms. They believe that Karma
is not just a law, but a form of matter. ~That Which Is~ -- a
translation of the ~Tattvartha Sutra~ came out in 1994, published
by HarperCollins San Francisco. It has 4 or 5 chapters on the
stuff of karma, detailing how it affects humans and our efforts
in spiritual living.

Of course you probably have already read "Transmigration of the
Life-atoms" in BCW 5.
