Dear Shersy:

MONADS are immortal units of ATMA/BUDDHI. They "begin" when the
Universe manifests (says Theosophy).  They are "the immoral
pilgrims," whether they are using mineral, vegetable or animal
"forms / bodies."  [ Each "kingdom" represents a level of
experience, -- a range in which they can progress. ]  In the
human stage (range of consciousness) they develop
self-consciousness.  Independence, understanding of
RESPONSIBILITY.  The moral results of CHOOSING becomes clear to
them.  LAW in NATURE is cooperative.  Defy, deny or break the
laws of BROTHERHOOD brings on retribution from the whole of
Nature.

Apply this to your questions.

We are all as MONADS innately divine.  We become aw are of this
gradually in the human kingdom.  Then we choose to voluntarily
adopt the rules of self-control and self-sacrifice.  WE ACT AS
BROTHERS OUGHT TO DO.  This alone leads to PERFECTION.

Our freedom is then self-administered.

Passage from one stage to the next may take long periods of time.
But our consciousness of the passage of time may vary, as for
instance a very detailed and long dream may actually take only
seconds.

Science is beginning to realise this.

Best wishes,

Dal

D. T. B.

Subject: [bn-basic] Question on involution

Hello all,

I have a question and have not yet found the answer that feels
right for me..

regarding involution...if there are a certain number of Monads
within this
round, and involution means the consciousness goes through
mineral, plant and
animal kingdom before becoming human..have the Monads in this
round already
gone through those kingdoms, or are they already humans from a
previous round
and just reincarnating again and again to become divine?

And also, the mineral consciousness...is that going to eventually
evolve into
human in this round or would that be the next round?

Gets confusing to me. Thanks for any clarification.

Sherry
