Thanks Chaim - that is so comforting. Can we sing kumbaya now?
Our present life already includes those past life karmas, sanskaras and vasanas. They will not suddenly disappear because we don't know what they are or fail to influence us because we meditate. While we will not learn much from someone telling us about a past life, we can learn a lot from temporarily re-immersing ourselves in one provided it is done properly. And, contrary to your quote above, this is part of Buddhist training in the Jhana/Dhyana samaapatti-s. It is even considered quite valuable because it clearly demonstrates the utterly ephemeral nature of human identity and human experience. It breaks down the lie of a permanent `I'.
