At the moment of birth you are the product of everything that has occurred in every lifetime you've had.
Beyond the ten thousand states of mind is the still point. It exists within them all, yet beyond them. It is not affected by them. It gives birth to them. This is the riddle.
At the time of birth an ordering takes place. The awarenesses come together; they become specific until a person dies. At that point all those awarenesses, all that you have ever been or will ever be, go back again, into the great unknown.
From infinite awareness, something comes forward, a sense of infinite awareness and finite awareness. That perception is the birth of a being.
The state between birth and death is not sympathetic. It is a flow system. Whatever your conscious level is, that is how you will reincarnate.
The experience of the next life is too far away to really be concerned with. It will be an outgrowth of this incarnation and what happens between birth and death.
We must constantly remind ourselves that we are eternity, infinite, beyond birth and death.
Birth and death are illusions, they are part of the dream.
