Eldon asks:
The Sishtas are the highest representatives of a Kingdom, and are
left behind when the lifewave departs and a Globe goes into
obscuration. An interesting question here is: How do the Sishtas
experience the obscuration, and physically survive through it?
Bee writes:
It seems to me that it isn't so much that the Globe goes into
obscuration but the lifewaves up to whatever time we are
disussing, goes into obscuration. Otherwise how do the
Dhyani-Chohan lifewave that follows the human one get to live on
Globe D? Globe D may have to be of a certain character throughout
its Globe manvantara so that the lifewaves can experience and
learn things that can only be learned on Globe D in this Round.
Perhaps the Globe goes into real obscuration after all the
lifewaves have run their course on it and it is no longer
required for the time being. I read that the human sishtas live
with the Dhyani-Chohans so I guess some sort of physicality must
prevail.
On our Globe, in this Round, we see the Mineral, Plant, and
Animal Kingdoms represented. Is what we know of these Kingdoms
rudimentary Fifth Round forms for them?
Bee writes:
As I understand it the answer is no. The mineral is in complete
obscuration, the plants nearly and the animals heading there
especially after the door to the human kingdom closed. In the
5th Round they may look different and some of them will not be
there at all.
And did the Fourth Round forms for them end when their lifewaves
departed the earth, and the Globe went into obscuration? Did the
Fifth Round forms arise after the obscurations, thrown off by
higher kingdoms? -- There are several points here to ponder.
Bee writes:
I am not sure about the 4th Round forms but I fancy they stay as
they are and the 5th round comes in and modifies the forms to
suit their new status. If forms are only a whole bunch of
life-atoms arranged in a certain manner around an astral
blueprint then it should be possible to rearrange them at a later
date to a different blueprint. If our humanity has had these
different forms up till now and still other forms to come then
changes are going on all the time over long periods like millions
of years. Until I got the concept fixed in my mind that most
things occurred over eons of time, I found it hard to understand
how forms could change like they seem to have done.
There is my 10c worth. :-)
