The goal of rebirth is for us to develop a new inner self and
therefore a new soul, or spirit, but our inner self cannot
be remade or reborn unless our outer self is too. Although
we are spirits after death, we take with us into
the other life aspects of our outer self: earthly emotions,
doctrines, facts—in short, all the contents of our outer,
earthly memory. These form the groundwork on which
our inner depths rest. Whatever priorities determine
their arrangement, then, those are the priorities that inner
things take on when they flow in, because inner
things are modified on the outer plane.
—Secrets of Heaven 3539:2
