That is up to K as I see it.
If it wants memories to
come either as part of an illustrative process
or part of a letting ritual, then they do come up
and they are different than the usual
over the top K induced visions you sometimes get.

I find your theory very interesting, Dharma.
I to believe there is something called "soul memory"
which works a bit differently than regular memory and
is tied with karma.

:) What a good way to do it.
I respect your working methods.

Do you this had something to do with blockages in your
spine and K correcting this, or more energy coming through ?

Did it work better not to wear any shoes ?

Yes, it might be, at least being able to open up to
the possibility that you once were another
personality and being able to look at this without
judgment.

:) OK, thanks for sharing your information and
experience. Always good to hear other ppl's
thoughts and views.

Yes, it is well known from court cases that false
memories are easily fabricated.

Exactly.

Yes, it's rather like all those pictures of UFOs,
most of them are pictures of something else, not
what they claim to be, but once in a while, there
will be something out of the ordinary which can't
be explained throughly with the usual methods
of verification. :)
Thanks again for sharing.
