Jerry S. and Eldon,
I hope you don't mind my jumping in. This is the first time that a quote was
actually presented which suggests how you two arrived at your conclusion
that when we die our principles pass through the other globes. I'll repeat
the quote here.
>>"From first to last every sphere has its world of effects, the passing
>>through which will afford a place of final rest to each of the human
>>principles -- the seventh principle excepted." [73]
This is the only quote I've ever read which "might" be miscontrued. The
passing through could be viewed as done after each life or it could be
viewed as occurring according to the entire picture of life around the globes.
Eldon and Jerry both suggest we have access to globes A-C and E-G before and
after our incarnation on globe D. I never construed this from my reading. I
always felt life continued "only" on globe D until the end of a Round. There
would be no access whatsoever to the other globes until a full Round or
seven races were completed on globe D.
In order for this to be true, all that would be required would be seven
planes exclusive to Globe D souls (or maybe only 5 planes would be
necessary). The seven (or five) planes around the other globes would also be
separated from Globe D's planes and there would be little if any crossover.
When death occurs, the souls and bodies stay right here. They don't move up
to "Minor-pralaya" land. It is the quote regarding "passing through" which
might be open to new interpretation. Do you have other quotes which go hand
in hand with this one?
