Hi Dallas,

This is an interesting subject. I am replying mostly to the third

This almost suggests the monads are seperate entities. But, in my 
understanding, since they are each reflections of the One, the human 
monad can also be looked at as a unity. 
Wry may be more familiar with the concept of a consciousness stream, 
or river. The water in the river changes as it goes downstream. Yet, 
in a sense, it is also the same water. The purity changes (usually 
for the worst), the scenery changes - yet it is one river. In the 
same way our consciousness changes, from one life to the next, but in 
some ways the content of the consciousness remains the same: dominant 
thought-forms remain, inclinations remain etc.
