> 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.

> regarding involution...if there are a certain number of Monads

> animal kingdom before becoming human..have the Monads in this

> gone through those kingdoms, or are they already humans from a

> And also, the mineral consciousness...is that going to eventually
