Or do they voluntarily undergo memory wiping before re-incarnation? If they do maintain consciousness through the process of re-birth, will they be an adult in a baby's body?" Read the biography of the Dalai Lama "My People My Country," in which he describes partly his own childhood, and his recognition as a reincarnation of the former Dalai Lama, for some hints. An interesting aspect of his life is that even though recognised as a former Dalai Lama and while already being install as the current Dalai Lama, he spent years of his boyhood and youth, studying under the various Tibetan scholars of the different schools of Tibetan Buddhism, he had to gather back into the present brain-mind body the knowledge and wisdom of the whole of the tradition, he had to prove himself to his teachers and the whole of Tibetan hierarchy of his competence, dedication to master the doctrine, and the ability to control the psychic forces. He had to undergo Initiations into all the schools, and in his turn becoming an Initiator. This too, while holding office of the Highest (the Panchen Lama, being the only other of his stature) and yet showing REVERENCE to the teachers who instructed him in this life. And again Darren writes : -- "As do the>Mayan calender system ,which incidentally ends on Dec 22, 2012. Some people>think that this may be the eschaton.

But as she says herself the most>accurate cycle recordings are not given out to laity" Here I offer only an OPINION. Whether it is Cayce, Nostradamus, the Mayan calendar systems, or the references given out by HPB. Do we by any chance try to place these within our life time, or close to it? We are dealing with cycles that revolve over very long periods of time Some where I very clearly remember reading HPB saying that Europe "..had a reprieve" for about another ll,000 or 15,000 years. I have spent quite a good deal of time trying to locate this to quote, and have temporarily given up. Writing this, without a reference. Those who are better suited to look this up may kindly do so. Please. As to the axis to matter. HPB speaks of both tilting and turning over-and Geology seems to have verified this to some extent. Once the days and nights were of equal duration the world over when the axis was vertical. Gradually and the rate Brenda has mentioned it tilts away. And studied I did years ago gave me the impression that when it reaches the 30 degree mark, there will be the reversal. Like the top which warbles as it spins, as its rate of revolution winds down, and at a certain point, it falls over. Our earth warbling is now accepted, the movements of the magnetic north. Just suggestion for those working on the problem. Fraternally, Sophia ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
