Franklin Merrell-Wolff continues his discourse on the Tri-Kaya by reconsidering certain implications that follow from statements made in the previous discourses. He reviews the status of the Nirmanakaya as found in four volumes: The Secret Doctrine, The Voice of the Silence, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, and Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines. He then addresses the problem growing out of a statement in The Tibetan Book of the Dead regarding the union of the inseparable states of consciousness rig-pa and shes-rig; he suggests that it might be understood by considering the notion of rendering that which is conscious in one sense as also conscious in another sense, and he submits that this distinction reveals the meaning of our whole evolution.
