Hi, I've got a few questions regarding the spiral and direct path:
1. If I choose the spiral path and reincarnate in another body, will I have knowledge of the fact that I'm a budha/angel or am I going to forget?
2. Do those on the spiral path eventually eliminate all of the ego and become a Christ if they keep reincarnating without falling, or do they continue to reincarnate forever?
3. How do resurrected masters enter the Absolute?
I just need simple answers to these questions as I'm a beginner. Thank you for the work you do.

1. You will only remember your past lives if you have trained the consciousness to remember.
2. Some have stated that the Nirvanis will eventually reach the Absolute, but that this is very difficult due to the ego. Not only that, but it takes many cosmic ages to do so, primarily because Nirvanis work on the ego very slowly throughout many mahamanvantaras.
I have also heard that Nirvanis cannot enter the Absolute. This is the most reasonable answer, because only Christ can take us to the Father.
3. You will know that once you get there. In the meantime, study the process of the Third Mountain in The Three Mountains.

Oh woe woe... I haven't heard that second statement about Nirvanis before. So first you're saying that due to their ego, in this case, their ecstasy, Nirvanis find it too hard to take up dharma, correct?
What's new to me is the slowness of progress of Nirvanis who do follow dharma. Why do they take so long?
By the way, I just read today from Two Paths, Three Factors, Three Mountains, and Eliminating Defects, that Nirvanis can still enter the absolute, but they take very long as you said.

Nirvanis can commit to the straight path and become bodhisattvas, but a bodhisattva cannot become a Nirvani, since they are already committed to Christ.
Thank you so much.

Thank you so much. One last question...if I choose the spiral path, can I switch to the direct path later, or am I tied to the spiral path forever?
