Where the living being's repetition of its past fire existence can be found in its present life.
426. As this previous existence as fire can thus be found in the individual's line of development long before it became a plant or an animal being, then that same individual's present experience of reliving that existence can only be found in its chain of repetitions at that point in its present bodily construction and embryonic state previous to its commencement in the plant or animal zone. The present repetition of this existence as fire can thus already be traced to a point on the boundary between the "kingdom of bliss" and the physical world, which means the zone where actual conception takes place. This again means that the being repeats his "sun" or "fire" state while he is in reality still a discarnate being. Such a discarnate being does, in fact, radiate a kind of physical fire in physical space itself.
