Lived in West Africa. 14 was common, with a few “promised” kids as low as 8/9/10. To dudes in their 30s and 40s.

But hey, the US has this all the time, and is no better than developing countries in some states.

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.
