The
Ego Reincarnates
Our Vice President,
Tang Kwok Choon continues his talk on evolution.
"We have seen how the
Causal Body is formed; giving the Animal a new Body thus making it Human.
And we have explored the Causal Body, the powers of that Body, how to help
it develop and thus evolve spiritually.
Next we explore what Trishna or Tanha does to the Ego; and
what happens to it when it is ready to reincarnate, and what happens upon
the death of the physical body, the Etheric Double and Prana."

J. Krishnamurti and the Search for Light
Choong Chi Pin gives the final instalment of his reading of this
frank book by Geoffrey Hodson where he discusses the efforts of
comprehending J. Krishnamurti.
Geoffrey Hodson says:
“An intense and prolonged effort of the mind to get behind the words of
Krishnamurti, to arrive somewhere, produces strange mental sensations. I
confess that, apart from rare moments of illumination for which I am
profoundly grateful, I find myself for the most part in a maze of somewhat
resentful hopelessness. Resentful, when individuals whom I respect and love
are vilified and when proven truths are denied. Hopeless, when
long-continued study fails to elucidate the teachings.
On occasion, however, one has the impression of moving in a very rare
atmosphere, a sort of summit-of-Everest consciousness. The very altitude
makes everything seem elusive, intangible. Understanding seems near
sometimes. One listens or reads on expectant, hoping for the re-solution,
for the emergent formula or synthesis; but, alas! it seldom, if ever,
comes...”
