Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation homepage > Notebooks of Paul Brunton



We do not reincarnate only to continue or finish learning the same old lessons--much less to repeat them--but also to start learning new ones. Life itself demands of us that there should be a definite progression to a wider and higher level. Those who want blindly to imitate only what people did five thousand years ago, show their ignorance of life's requirement. This earth exists to enable man to progress from lower to higher levels and from narrower to wider areas.
