    Ah, you seek enlightenment!

    Actually, the globe/round/race thing is quite possibly the most
complex and difficult to understand aspect of Theosophy. So much so, that
there is a lot of disagreement. It is kind of akin to describing an
electric light to a culture that has no experience with electricity,
including lightning. Any description that you can give them that they can
understand will be found to be incorrect if and when they somehow do
invent the electric light.

    Feeling enlightened yet? I sure don't.....
