I have more questions than responses.
What is the significance of knowing what you had been in your past life?
How does knowing your past life aid you in working through your distortions in this current life time?
Why does it seem like people choose to 'remember' heroic and/or glamorous past lives (e.g., queens, kings, spiritual adepts) instead of more ordinary or non-glamorous ones (e.g., maid who emptied chamberpots, village idiots)? This is my personal bias around this topic. There appears to be more fascination around 'who I was in my past life' than actual work done around one's 'remembrance' of past life. It seems to me like we create our personal myths around what we believe we had been in our 'past life'. Could maybe use this personal myth to understand new things about oneself?
