Some lives are not so far in the past, some are more or less parallel, and I have also interacted with 'future' selves which are possible selves encompassed within the eternal present...
Beautiful post, Aion! And doesn't Ra say that the forgetting between lives is to highly reduce this fixation? If we are fixated on our past selves, we have much more trouble getting a fresh perspective on our current lessons. It's fascinating.
Also, I can echo what you feel about parallel selves. It makes no spacetime sense, but I have heard about parallel incarnations, that a soul could be living in "two" places at once, but I have trouble fathoming it. Anyway, thanks for this.
