There are cases of people who remember past lives. I agree many are just cranks, or pretending to be important, or they are pretending in order to make money somehow. This being the case, I still believe that some may be actually telling the truth. |
I like your explanation, Truefire. I'm wondering, though, at the apparent contradiction here. If the Me I knew of as myself in a past life no longer exists, how could I remember that past life? Wouldn't that suggest that this Watcher retains memories, and therefore traits, of each incarnation?
