PLANES OF CONSCIOUSNESS
IN THE NEXT INCARNATION
Meher Baba
Do persons on the spiritual planes of consciousness take birth
having consciousness of the same plane? Yes, but the
consciousness is very gradual, as when a person of
gross-consciousness dies and is reborn with consciousness of
the gross world. The child gradually becomes aware, as it
grows older, of the same gross world according to past
experiences of the gross. A child born with consciousness of
a certain plane is not all at once conscious of the plane. The
plane unfolds very gradually as the child grows.
Later in life, this child as a man is established in the life
of his respective plane-consciousness, as a man of the gross
world gets established in his worldly life. Thus, a person of
the gross world dies to reincarnate as of the gross world; so
also a person of a particular plane of consciousness reincarnates
as of that respective plane of consciousness and then gradually
gets established in the plane of consciousness of his previous
life. He may or may not make further progress in the planes
of higher consciousness. Progress depends on the help of a
spiritual guide of a higher plane, on the grace of a Perfect
Master, or on his own efforts in the life of that particular
plane of consciousness.
