But reincarnation is not an obvious conventional construct. It involves a
recognition of man's variety of qualities and the proof is very complex
because it involves the non-physical world.

The mind is maya because it is filled with facts about the visible world.
When we limit our consciousness to the plants, animals, and elements, we
are falling prey to maya. When we seek for answers to life's problems, we
seek for something that isn't currently visible. This helps us to look
beyond what is present and concrete. Conventional truth would just be truth
that is posited through perception.

If you fill your mind with thought and thought-processes concerning what
people say and write, your thoughts take you away from mundane reality
which is really maya.

What about the transference of energy vibrations onto the states of matter,
creating an enlivening of their nature. Let's say that man began to
influence every form of life, every element, every atom, until all of the
world vibrated to man's consciousness. If these beings could then exist
alongside man, and we could be said to have created the conditions we then
could live happily in, then the consciousness has an opportunity to produce
a "form," the human form, which is an advancement over everything we had
attained before. The form is more representative of our inner life than
ever before. We have a balance of senses and characteristics that allow for
new experience. We have used our freedom and our knowledge to produce
ourselves AND the world around us, not in complete repetition of what we
have seen with our own eyes that the next kingdom is capable of, and not
completely by memory of what we had before, but in a way that allows us to
adapt to changes in our solar system and larger environment.

This can easily be justified because there are times when we exist without
the ascended masters and things happen that are unexpected. Therefore we
can be what we choose to be and not what we have seen others attain. It's
possible that what the I AM Temple teaches is true, which is that during
the unmanifest time between globes, we exist on the sun. Who would we meet
there? This would be the general gathering place for kingdoms who are
between globes in all of the solar system's globe chains. We would learn
about the other chains and also have unique experiences. We have to make
decisions for ourselves because the law of freedom puts us again in a
singular place where we make our own rules, as a human group we make vital
decisions that affect all man. We either accept forms or reject them. You
can see that happening even today, but not as adamantly as it would happen
during the fourth race, if we would be largely without ascended master
influence and without any animal (dinosaur) lives, we would grow within the
sun's rays solely.

When ascended masters enter the picture in the fifth race, we give up our
activity to allow their light to penetrate all of the atoms of life on the
globe. At first (during the sixth race) there is a blending of both of our
energies to the point where perhaps we can hardly distinguish which is
which. What we think is what we are and I imagine I could attain things
with them that wouldn't be possible after a descent through the animals and
a meandering through our joint human creation, just as free as a dream,
only when the cycle turns, and the ascended masters are present again,
their influence means law which is not humanly derived, but "God-given."
