In the Tibetan Book of the Dead there is an explanation of what happens to a soul traversing from one incarnation to the next. The soul goes into what is called the Bardo, loosely translated as "The In Between" where the soul travels for seven weeks-forty-nine days-while Buddhist monks chant in an effort to guide the soul on its journey. The purpose of the chants is an attempt to encourage the soul to accept one of the several Heavens offered to it at various stages along the way. But if that does not happen, or cannot happen due to the need to balance out the positive and negative forces of karma left over from the actions and consequences in prior lives, the soul at the end of the Bardo is given the choice to accept any one of several couples for parents in its next life time. The soul sees all of those potential parents making love and the sexual magnetic energy is overwhelmingly strong. Still, the soul is encouraged, per the book and chanting monks, to be cautious not to go into what is called a bad womb. As "The Beginning Begins," the soul has safely transitioned between one life and the next. She didn't go to Heaven. There was too much karma. She accepted reincarnation and selected her new parents. Immediately, as "The Beginning Begins," she discovers she's not alone. The soul sharing the womb is well known from prior incarnations. Now named Zoe and Madison, they are able to remember some of their past-lives, are in spiritual contact with the mind aspect of their souls, called Starry and Blaze, and see whatever their mother sees, through her eyes. Well educated and wealthy, their dad, Isaac/Zak, is an archeologist seeking the scrolls copied-out by Zoe when she was Salome-Alexandra, the Queen of Israel. He's also trying to find the Urim and Thummim, those dice she rolled out to tell the future when she was the queen, as well as when she was Duanna, in Uruk (Mesopotamia), living her incarnation as the high-Priestess of Inanna. Their mother, Jasmina/Jazzie, is a "sensitive" from a long line of women mystics who practice magic. Ultimately Jazzie sees auras, spirits, and ghosts in an effort to help her husband find those long lost items and to protect her unborn children. She must, since the man, named Abraham Sharp-previously incarnated as Zoe's son and in another past-life as Madison's husband-is a billionaire in this life, using the practical magic of the Hebrew Kabbalah to find those same scrolls and dice. Zoe's resentments towards her twin brother, Madison, who once indirectly caused her to die from an overdose of opium when they lived as sisters in Egypt, and also more directly was the cause of her being burned at the stake during the Spanish Inquisition, are resolved. But Abraham Sharp's bitterness has festered for thousands of years and is only now being brought into the open for those old karmic debts to be paid-waiting for the people-souls-to be in the right place at the right time."
