Just to finish up from last week, just for the fun
of playing with ideas, *not* to argue or claim the
rightness or superiority of those ideas or
anything like that. The short version is:
Thanks but no thanks on Ramana, Edg. I've read him
before, and there was no strong resonance for me
there.

Turq, excellent points (below) and I feel that both Edg and you are

One of Patanjali's sutras (not one of the sutras taught by the TMO
currently) is about knowing past lives:
III. 18.
By the practice of the threefold discipline on the inherent tendencies,
and by the direct perception of such tendencies, knowledge of previous
existence arises.

I have had at least 18,000 or so past lives. I remember many of them,
some sort of blur together. Some totally forgotten. Some are quite
similar, others are as different as day an night.
