"Transmigration is in 'Abred.'" _Triad_ 14. "There are three primitive calamities in 'Abred': the necessity of evolution (of rebirths), the absence of memory (of past incarnations) and death (followed by rebirth)." _Triad_ 18 (the words in parentheses are our own). "By reason of three things man is subjected to 'Abred' (or transmigration): by the absence of the effort to attain knowledge, by non-attachment to good, and by attachment to evil. As the result of these, he descends into 'Abred,' to the stage corresponding to his development, and begins his transmigrations anew." _Triad_ 25. "The three foundations of science are: complete transmigration through every state of being, the memory of the details of each transmigration, the power to pass again at will through any state, to acquire experience and judgment, (_a_) This comes to pass in the circle of Gwynvyd." _Triad_ 36. (_a_) The liberated being has power to call up the past, to tune his consciousness with that of every being, to feel everything that being feels, to be that being.] [Footnote 125: In the poem _Cad-Godden_, quoted by Pezzani in _La Pluralite des Existences de l'Ame_, p. 93.
