Where we come from, where we are and where we will be.
Where we come from:
Consciousness from previous lifetimes as a sentient being:
karmic imprints and disturbing emotions.
Where we are:
Consciousness in this life as a human being:
genetic inheritance from parents, time in present body,
health, environment, experience, motivation, activity.
Where we will be:
Consciousness in future lives as a sentient being:
mental phenomena taken from this and past lives.

(And some useful definitions for me.)
Consciousness = Mind
Tantra = Continuum of consciousness/mind-stream
(The above ideas from the Buddhist way simply seem true to me. TW.)
