Theosophy speaks of 50 to 10,000-year intervals between death and rebirth, but it is only basing its theory on the waking entity which is part of the illusion.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Theosophy speaks of 50 to 10,000-year intervals between death and rebirth, but it is only basing its theory on the waking entity which is part of the illusion.

Most individuals take more time and very few understand and realize the fact that, it is not the soul that comes and goes, it is the three states which comes and goes. The soul, which is the true self, is the formless substance and witness of these coming and going of the consciousness from one state of consciousness to another. But it must be distinctly understood that the all the three states are in the form of consciousness. And on whatever state of consciousness, it creates the sense of reality: in the waking world a waking body, in the dream world a dream body, and remains without the waking and dream consciousness in deep sleep. And in deep sleep, when it remains world less and therefore bodiless Thus it is necessary to hold the three states, as state of consciousness, rather then holding the waking experience as reality and dream as unreality and deep sleep as neutral state. The three states are unreal states of consciousness on the stand point of soul/self, which is the pure states of consciousness, without any attributes.

For Gnani, who views and judges the three states on the standpoint of the soul remains unaffected by coming and going of the consciousness from one state of consciousness to another: The chain of
Illusions have snapped forever for him. It is now clear that there is neither real birth, nor real life, nor real death for the one who learns to view and judge the three states of consciousness on the standpoint of the soul, which is the true self.

It is the soul which creates and maintains the illusion of reality in this process, till it is destroyed by Self-Realization.
