Hello- I find these discussions about Greaters very interesting! I do have a question regarding an individual's experience over multiple lives. Maybe the question is better phrased "Does an individual "Self" retain its unique set of experiences (i.e. memories and associated Karma) from one incarnation to the next? Or, does every individual after death eventually merge irreversibly with the Greater in such a way that subsequent projections of the self into the physical plane carry with it the entire set of experiences of the Greater. If the latter case is true, then more than one individual (if incarnating concurrently) has the same memories of past lives since they have same Greater. If the former true, then the Self reversibly merges with its Greater until such time for it to descend back to the physical plane to gain additional experience and retains its unique constellation of memories. Hope this makes sense. A question for Rawn- In an earlier thread you stated that the incarnating spirit after death goes to the astral plane. Their astral body eventually disintegrates and the mental body eventually merges with the Greater (I hope I got that right). What do you mean by eventually? How long is eventually? Does a self have to merge with the Greater prior to incarnating again? Thanks, Keith
