Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation homepage > Notebooks of Paul Brunton
Whatever the worldly and physical experiences of a man may be, however materialistic his mental attitude and personal feelings may become, his essence-being remains untouched and unpolluted. But his link with it is another matter. If he falls too low this link may be so thinned that he is thrown back into an animal body in his next birth, to make another attempt at normal progression into the human condition.
