MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
[Lucifer, Vol. V, No. 28, December 15, 1889, pp. 344, 351]
[In connection with a lecture delivered by Dr. Jerome A. Anderson at a meeting of the San Francisco Free-thought Society, in which he had been reported to have said that “the spiritual monad in man was given individual persistence only during one manvantara, or cycle of material existence.”]
This sentence must not be misunderstood as it is reported a little too vaguely. The “Spiritual Monad” is eternal because uncreate, but its “Individual persistence”—in human form and bodies on this terrestrial chain or during the life-cycle, lasts only “one manvantara.” This does not prevent the same Spiritual Monad starting at the end of Maha-pralaya (the Grand Age of Rest) into another higher and more perfect “life-cycle with the fruit of the accumulated experiences of all the personalities the “individual” Ego (manas) had informed.

According to Occult teaching the Astral light is not the “thought substance” of the Universe, but the recorder of every thought; the universal mirror which reflects every event and thought as every being and thing, animate or inanimate. We call it the great Sea of Illusion, Maya.— (Ed.)
