Theos-Talk Archives (January 2002 Message tt00131)

Dear Friends:


I really try to reflect only that which I read in Theosophical
literature, as originally published.

As to immortality and eternity -- difficult to grasp. out who is
to set limits to them?

I understand that our present personalities will not survive
death, except as a few stray fragments of experience which are
worthy of preserving. however the Immoral, Divine Monad
(ATMA-BUDDHI-MANAS) is not a "maya" but is an immortal -- so says
The SECRET DOCTRINE . And it provides reasons for that, if we
will look for them in the 1st Vol.

Best wishes,


Dallas

Hi Jerry and all of you,

I consider myself a Theosophist of a certain kind - that is for
instance - not a dead-letter one.
If the below is true then Dallas must be disagreeing with
Theosophy.

Jerry wrote:


"Buddha says that one can attain a spiritual understanding in
which reincarnation is no longer necessary, but can be done
consciously to help others if one wants. Dallas says that we will
reincarnate forever. Duh?"

======================================

DTB	As I see it, that is what THEOSOPHY says and restricts the
immortal and the eternal to that which is SPIRITUAL..

========================================


I am at least one - who is not reincarnating forever - and you
can take that to the bank !!!
Me and ParaBrahman would never limit ourselves to such a level.
Duh?
(The word 'forever' understood as an eternal ongoing proces - of
maya.)

==========================================

DTB	Logically what is the relationship of IMMORTALITY or ETERNITY
to "Maya ?"

============================================


Try Subba T. Row :
Notes on the Bhagavad Gita - and the book Bhagavad Gita, VIII,
16-22

And remember, that Sanskrit is as a later branch of Senzar.

===========================================

DTB	Where does H P B say this ?

============================================


Please J don't generalize so much - when using the word
Theosophist.
