CrankyBuddhist   the learning never ends …

While contemplating the last question, my flow of thought went on to memory.

Why don’t we carry clear memories from one life to the next? If a Lama can come back into a new body and claim his singing bowl from his last incarnation, then why can’t I come back in my next life and claim CrankyBuddhist.com and continue posting as cranky who is now whatever my new name is?

Like, clearly claim it, not ‘oh, I have some feeling that I’m connected to this project, I should go work on it’ muddled memory.

I’ve asked myself this question before, but I never took the answer to the ends that I have been in the last week or so. And now it’s become clear as to why we don’t clearly remember past lives, or remember them enough to lay claim to their projects and deeds.

My mind ran through a lot of possibilities and complications, and instead of listing them, I’ll just leave you with the thought for your own contemplation.
