Diversity is a necessity even for that which is. To some extent, that which is must always be lost within itself. Lost in a multiplicity of numberless selves. The selves are self-directing units, however. As you know there are no limitations to any identity. The limitations are illusions. And yet the extent to which the illusions are shattered represents on your level the sparks of the expanding consciousness.

Now, there is an overall personality pattern that is characteristic of each whole self, of which the reincarnated selves each give evidence. There are particular and unique overall goals and abilities that the whole self strives for through these existences. Any psychology worthy of the name must take this inner motivation into consideration.

In the spacious present there are no such terms. Other selves, reincarnated within the physical system as physical creatures, experienced time as you do, as a series of moments strung out one before the other. Memories in dreams and in the trance state are usually already censored. As physical creatures alone you cannot remember the future. Therefore only past lives are ever recalled. In the dream state however what would appear to you as future lives are already familiar. To the inner senses all of these existences are simultaneous.

The various reincarnated selves can be superficially (underlined) regarded as portions of a whole crossword puzzle for they are all portions of the whole; and yet they can exist scattered from the whole, although their meaning is then diminished. In the case of the whole self there is communication between various portions of the self. Future and past selves mingle. A thorough understanding of reincarnated existences are of benefit to the conscious present self. Unexplained tendencies and inclinations then are seen as part of an overall pattern.
