Rebirth
Rebirth is a recurrent theme in the literature of inner transformation.
Inner transformation is primarily a death and rebirth, the death
of an old identity and the birth of a new one, on a deeper level
of reality. While we can see the realization of each essential
aspect as a process of death and rebirth, it is the discovery
of the Personal Essence which is actually felt by many students
as the birth of who they are. It is the true birth of the Human
Being, and is recognized as such by the experiencer himself. If
the development of the separate individuality of the ego is the
psychological birth of the individual, then the realization of
the Personal Essence is his essential birth. (The Pearl Beyond
Price, pg 68)
