    Terrible. It’s a feature, not a bug.

    The point in not remembering past lives is that each life is supposed to be full of learning and growing and experiences that aren’t weighed down and tainted by the egos of past incarnations.

    Imagine having been an illiterate miner in the Old West that lives to 95, then showing up with that perspective in the 80s. You’d simply be a cantankerous Luddite set in old ways. Note do that over and over and over.

    It’s a joy to shed the ego.

      But in the 80s you might get reincarnated into a family that teaches you how to read while having the memories of the life you can’t leading you to be more empahetic.
