The Chinese used the symbol of tai chi, the undifferentiated reality - no separation, no left and right.

You could use a flower, a candle flame, anything you want that's suggestive of beauty and eternality.

Examine your experience of the incarnation so far and realistically add up the moments of happiness and unhappiness and you tell me, oh somewhat vaguely nobly born, you tell me, what has it been like for you?

All the billions of people who now inhabit our planet are putting a terrific strain on its aura, making it difficult, even for evolved people to become aware of their past-life knowledge and talents.
