	Richard, this is an ancient Taoist teaching.  Taoist Yoga
includes techniques for the circulation of chi/prana to form a subtle
body (Golden Flower) that will transcend physical death.  Without
this self-awareness, they maintain that reincarnation is impossible.
I don't know how Theosophy would perceive this idea though.
