I know lamas who remember thousands of their past lives. My own theory  is that the theory that explains unstressing found during meditation due to past  experience doesn't explain stresses due to genetic disorders. In tantric physiology that is explained by the individual nadi constitution of the individual. Everyones nadis are unique and weave based on how their mind flows. It is in this subtle physiology that the "karmic prana" flows through. When a person dies this subtle network collapses into a bindu which contains the karmic propensities of past experiences as a kind of overlay. The physical body, according to Ayurveda, has it propensities determined at the moment of sperm-egg fusion and then whatever defects or doshas are present then, are carried on through physical life. Diseases or problems manifest through the principle of Seed, Field and Season. Similarly karmic propensities stored in the subtle, causal body can be ameliorated via the principle of Seed and Tree (Bijavriksha Nyaya) which is also part of why bija mantras or sounds produces effects and purify the subtle physiology. As the subtle physiology refines, the nadis become smoother and less filled with karmic eddies. However, we need to project  some reason for these unstressing/normalization events that take place due to genetic  disorders and call them past experiences, and claim that since they're not from THIS life,  they must be from a previous one. Of course, one can claim that part of the selection process for finding a suitable new body  for reincarnating into is finding one with the appropriate genetic makeup, so the  explanaton doesn't necessarily eliminate the existence of past lives... __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
