Dear Dharma,
A few comments to your story,

;) You have a scientific mind, not excluding the
possibility of more then what you already know of.
I agree with you, "memory" is pretty hard to define...
like "mind" and "intelligence"...
there are so many types and they appear in so many
forms...
just think of all the different words that describe
memory and remembering, like reminisce, recall,
reiterate, etc

:) No, curiosity has a tendency of making ppl overtly
eager.

Exactly. K works inside you even when not doing
any active meditation.

I'm so happy you say this, because it reflects so many
of my own experiences. :)

:) What a beautiful idea.
Yes, I regard direct contact with any form of nature
conducive for K., even studying it.

Did you get the message that you would be able to
draw the energy yourself from your spririt guides ?

:)
A friend of mine used to complain about frequent
stomach problems.
I asked her: have you eaten anything that was off ?
The reply was usually a sheepish: Half a liter of coffee last night. :)

:) Yes, good idea to slow down if things start to
become uncomfortable.
The shaking sounds pretty uncomfortable, though.
Is it still there or has it resided ?

Ouch !

Right. :) WHat to tell a western doctor.

This is good information. I guess you should treat K
burns the same you'd treat any other kind of burn
or acid burns.

EEuuwww ! :D I can see the point though.
Burns have a tendency to get dried up and that makes
the pains worse, and the scarring.

Exactly.

No scars ? Impressive !

:) That's typical of past life memories, they are
usually centered around emotional episodes, not
factual information.
It's like you won't remember doing the dishes unless
you had an emotional episode while doing dishes. :)
CAr riding is actually well known to cause the state
of relaxation and awareness which can lead to memories.
Someone else mentioned that in a book about children's
past life memory, many seemed to suddenly remember (?)
while sitting in a car.
Thanks for sharing your story
and the egg tip. :) Might be a
revolutionary new treatment for all kinds of burns,
K induced or not. ;)
Best regards,
Amanda.
