Wow, what an amazing article! It's very long, but it's well-written and worth the read. Thank you so much for posting it, Sharyn! I especially appreciate the analogy with present-life phobias and past-life traumas, this is most useful information.

By the way, parts of it dovetail nicely with my experience - which I've described elsewhere - of visiting a place for the first time and feeling absolutely certain that I'd been there before, probably lived there in fact.
