Wonder what humility people living in simple house on Caribbean islands had to learn. They probably had sinful thoughts.
It's weird that this whole thing gets a life outside fundamentalist circles.
But then new age people explaining their fate in the choices they made before being incarnated again made no sense to me either. Some thought it was a liberation from how they were raised with the concept of predestination.
To me there was no difference. It either was a deity planning this "for your own good" or your former self planning it similarly "for your own good".
Either way, screwed by incomprehensible wisdom.
