MEMO. ABOUT _Borrowed Body_. The point on which it should all turn is not so much reincarnation as the use of a borrowed body, which is a different kind of reincarnation from that of Arnold's _Phra the Phœnician_. This will also give chance to show the other two sorts of reincarnation, _e.g._:-- (_a_) Ordinary reincarnation in which there is no memory of the old personality, as the astral body is new; and: (_b_) Exception as to astral body; but similarity of conception to that of ordinary cases, where the child retains the old astral body and hence memory of old personality and acquaintance with old knowledge and dexterity. A CHAPTER. _The Assembling of the Skandhas._ On the death of body the Kama principle collects the Skandhas in space, or at the rebirth of the Ego the Skandhas rush together and assemble about it to go with it in the new life. ANOTHER. _The Unveiling of the Sun._ There is the real and unreal sun. The real one is hidden by a golden vase, and the devotee prays: "Unveil, O Pushan, the true Sun's face," etc. A voice (or other) says "thou art that vase" and then he knows that he alone hides the true Sun from himself. Pushan is the guide and watches on the path to the Sun. The eulogy of the Sun and the Soul are enshrined in a golden rose or lotus in the heart which is impregnable. The theme of the book is not always teacher and pupil. He first strives for some lives ordinarily and then in one he grows old and wise, and sitting before a temple one day in Madura he dies slowly, and like a dissolving view he sees the adepts round him aiding him; also a small child which seems to be himself, and then thick darkness. He is born then in the usual way. Twice this is repeated, each time going through the womb but with the same astral body. Then he lives the third life to forty-nine, and comes again to die and with same aid he selects a foreign child who is dying. Child dying. Skandhas collecting, child's Ego going--left, spark of life low: relatives about bed. He enters by the way the mind went out and revivifies the body. Recovery, youth, etc., etc. This is his borrowed body. MEMO. NO. 2 _A couple of Incidents for the Book._ A round tower used by the fire worshippers in Ireland and other isles in early ages. A temple is attached to it; quaint structure--one priest and one neophyte. People below the tower coming into the temple grounds as the religion is in its decadence.
