A friend of mine who is a brilliant, divergent thinker--he would fit right in on the 'cat--posited the following.

Many people have 'memories' from past lives. People, according to their various spiritual beliefs, convictions, training or persuasions will then go on to postulate a past life (and therefore a future life) based on the memory. That is a complicated explanation, and it meanders all over creation looking for proof. So, he went looking for a simple answer, and he found one that makes sense, meets the criteria and answers the unasked question: Why do some people feel the have had past lives (which they think they have had based on the memories they experience in their present life)? So simple it's elegant.

Memory is stored electro-chemically. What if a memory in the process of being stored gets misfiled and ends up attached to our genetic material? The memory is triggered by whatever, and we then think we've lived before. NO. We simply have received a memory from an ancestor, thus thinking wehave lived before.

Science, which has no friggin' real idea about questions of this nature will scoff. Unfortunately, mostscience is government-funded, and it tends to dance when the funder snaps its fingers. Science now looks in 'holes' it's told to look in, and not a helluva lot further.

We have a whole study of physics based generallyon the big bang theory of creation. The big bang theory is illogical. But we still base part of science on it. What kinda shit is this? LOOK at the illogic of our science! Crap like, "Nothing travels faster than light." Well, that may be bullshit. The thinking now is that some 'forces' are damn near instantaneous, everywhere! But, we hold on to the old saw that nothing travels faster than light. Folks, our science isn't making sense. Maybe it's time we began to see that.

Thank you. I now feel much better. Have a nice day all.
