Dan/who incarnates?

[Guest guest]

<Dan: What isn't clear here when reading such

statements is "who" incarnates. If there is only Self, how can

incarnation be described as beginning or ending?

 

Any other comments that might shed light here would be appreciated.

~ This is as seen from here, Dan:

Just as there is the apparency of a physical body which we perceive through

the senses of that body (and we sanely act-as-if is real) there are more

subtle bodies. The mental and emotional functions are less dense

configurations of energy than the physical and could be thought of as mental

and emotional "bodies" because they are unitary - unique to each apparent

individual within common structures. Other bodies have temporary existence

also, of longer duration than the physical, made of consciousness and finer

expressions of energy, bonded with and yet able to function without the

physical form. They are what incarnate. All forms appear within and as

expressions of Self.

 

The physical brain and DNA are structures which hold memory

in the carnal form. More subtle bodies also have structures of memory which

account for continuity of themes through serial incarnations.

 

What is surprising to me is not that these more subtle energy forms exist,

but that the veils of mind in "this world" most often serve to block human

awareness of a greater subtlety of life forms and memory beyond the material

dimension. Not to mention, of course, the rarity of awareness of the eternal

silent foundation from which all these appearances arise.

 

with love
