Boopsie: Mr. Chairperson, I'd like to report to the task force on a very esteem-enhancing experience I had recently-- a past-life regression! With the help of a regression therapist, I was able to access one of my most fascinating lives-- that of a goat herdess in first century Galilee! What was most astonishing about this former life was that my family then was made up entirely of people I know from this life! Joanie! Zonker! What are you doing here? Joanie: Hush, daughter! Zonker: Mom, can I go to the stoning of St. Stephen?
How come all these past life regressions are always so romantic ? No Monty Pythonesque mucking about ? No pox ridden, toothless existence for these ‘regressors’ ? No stench, poverty, violence, and misery ?
Reality apparently doesn’t exist in our past lives.
