Note 124 — Chapter IV
Fred Rothwell translation
"'Abred' is the circle of the migrations through which every animated being proceeds from death: man has passed through it." Triad 13.
"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.
