“In the Tibetan Buddhist model of substance, mineral is primarily dense physical with a slight expansion of etheric physical; plants are dense physical, etheric physical, with a slight expansion of emotional substance; animals are dense physical, etheric physical, emotional, and with a slight expansion of mental substance; and man incorporates all of these and has a slight expansion of spiritual matter. Thus all life is linked together in an evolutionary movement toward pure spirit. Certainly, satisfactory explanations for mind over matter are hard to come by when we persist in a separation of the nature of each, and are much easier with which to cope when we consider all life forms, including thought-forms, as fields and vortices of energy existing somewhere along a single continuum. … In the final analysis, perhaps, energy escapes into consciousness and the world becomes a thought. … Life, indeed, does move in mysterious circles, and experience has a way of remembering itself. It may be that the historians have been right all along, that knowing the past is imperative to understanding the present and projecting the future.”
