The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Shadow out of Time by H. P. Lovecraft: past age of the Great Race.
This fate was least horrible when
the captive mind was also of the Great Race - a not infrequent
occurrence, since in all its periods that race was intensely concerned
with its own future. The number of dying permanent exiles of the
Great Race was very slight - largely because of the tremendous
penalties attached to displacements of future Great Race minds
by the moribund.
Through projection, arrangements were made
to inflict these penalties on the offending minds in their new
future bodies - and sometimes forced reëxchanges were effected.
