Theos-Talk Archives (October 2004 Message tt00323)

Briefly:

To me it seems fair to say employing THEOSOPHY as a basis:

Under the Karmic law of association and attraction, monads (life-atoms) used
in the past by us, become, to some extent, the vehicles of our Karma (and
theirs).

We cannot separate ourselves from them. Nor they from us. We are all
together a band of "fellow pilgrims."  

As I understand it, all "monads" are brought into existence when the "Great
Breath" of evolution / emanation from the ABSOLUTE restarts the cyclic
process of education.  

In this the whole mass of "monads," each encased within the limits of some
substance (matter) and, under the impulse and supervision of their
co-existent spiritual pole ( Spirit or Atma), proceed to experience the
conditions of life and existence in a series of limited circumstances.  

Those limitations are both :

(1) self-induced, and 

(2) also the result of the choices and actions made by other monads
associated with them. 

We are never totally alone. The concept of isolation and selfishness is not
a real fact. It is an illusion and a seeming situation. [ Example we cannot
live in physical matter without the "gift" of air, water, food, shelter,
etc... these are provided by "Nature," or "our environment;" and this
surrounding environment is made up of innumerable cooperating "monads." ]

When the physical form is dispersed at death, they (the immortal life-atoms
-- monads) return into nature, and upon the reincarnation of an Ego that
force of attraction and association assets itself and many, if not all, are
drawn again back into intimate service with the reincarnating Ego that used
them before. It is also to be observed that during our lives we are
continually ingesting new molecules and divesting ourselves of those we have
no further use for -- the return to "Nature" and are used there. But the
connection with "us" is a permanent one.
In a way, over aeons of years, it would seem that we come into contact with
a vast amount of monads and substances -- and on those we leave our karmic
imprint. 

So a "new brain" on reincarnation may be said to consist of some of the
materials (monads, molecules, atoms, etc...) we may have used in earlier
incarnations. 

Hope this is of help,

Best wishes, 

Dallas

Dallas,

I have a question. Could you relate to me where the following statement
you made is referenced? I am not familiar with it.

>The Brain of a new-born child is made up of the old life-atoms that are
attracted by Karma to the new incarnation in a newly assembled physical body
of the Individual INTELLIGENCE which is an 'immortal' -- so teaches
THEOSOPHY.<

Thanks, it is appreciated.
