Theos-Talk Archives (January 2008 Message tt00077)

Krishtar,
Papus is in agreement with Madame Blavatsky.  See her article
"Transmigration of the Life Atoms", [The Theosophist, Vol. IV, No.
11(47), August, 1883, pp. 286-288.]  Also in Collected Writings, Vol
V, p109 onwards.

The life atoms that make up the lower vehicles are continually thrown
off by us and 'recycled' in nature.  In which particular domain, or
loka, they recycle depends on the quality and impetus we imbide them
with during our life, perhaps even day to day.    Here is a passage
from her article. Mdme B begins by quoting a passage from the Laws of
Manu "A Brahman-killer....." and then explains the esoteric
significance. :

""A Brahman-killer enters the body of a dog, bear, ass, camel, goat,
sheep, bird, &c.,"     bears no reference to the human Ego, but only
to the atoms of his body, of his lower triad and his fluidic
emanations.* It is all very well for the Brahmins to distort in their
own interest, the real meaning contained in these laws, but the words
as quoted never meant what they were made to yield from the above
verses later on. The Brahmins applied them selfishly to themselves,
whereas by "Brahman," man's seventh principle, his immortal monad and
the essence of the personal Ego were allegorically meant. He who kills
or extinguishes in himself the light of Parabrahm, i.e., severs his
personal Ego from the Atman and thus kills the future Devachanee,
becomes a "Brahman-killer." Instead of facilitating through a virtuous
life and spiritual aspirations the mutual union of the Buddhi and the
Manas, he condemns by his own evil acts every atom of his lower
principles to become attracted and drawn in virtue of the magnetic
affinity, thus created by his passions, into the forming bodies of
lower animals or brutes. This is the real meaning of the doctrine of
Metempsychosis."

Ananda
