XVI. What is seen on looking back into Man's repeated Earth-lives

In the life between death and new birth, Man every time goes anew through this stage. Only, that into the world of divine Spirit-Beings—who now again receive him even as once they bore him within themselves—he now carries his own full individual entity, in the form it has acquired during his lives on earth. He is, between death and new birth, both in the present and at the same time in all the times through which he has traveled in recurring earth-lives and recurring lives between death and new birth.
