In fact in the Bagavatha Purana it talks of two separate descents. One descent was a failure so to speak as they utilised the experience for meditation and not procreation enough..So no doubt non dualism was extant up to 20MM years ago.............The second descent procreated better so creating bodies for the 'mixtures' to incarnate into....................Tony. --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
