I was told I was a past-lifer too when I was I kid. I think I always believed it in some way, yet the problem with me is that I'm too critical. I don't take things at face vaule and I never really have.
I've also met "past life clears". At a WISE company I was working for a while there was this woman who'd grown up in Scientology who was completely nuts. She was always running around with a contrieved tone 40 jargon. Basically she'd never really had any service and she wasn't allowed in the SO for some reason, I forget why.
Anyway, one time she told me about how she had had the CCRD and was totally convinced of her past life-time Clear status. I thought it was a complete crock of sh*t then and there since she is probably the most incompetent lunatic I've ever worked or had a social encounter with. A walking disaster area. She almost brought down the company, by the way.
Another time when I was in Clearwater I was at a dinner party with only Scientologists. There were a couple of men there who were seriously in the process of starting up a "Past Life Time Bank" where you could save money and supposedly deposit them in your next life time. Yeah sure.
The most idiotic thing I think I've ever heard was from a Scientologist who was a failed screenwriter. He'd written several scripts but never sold anything. He told me about how his big congition on KTL was that "he is a writer". And to my question whether he'd written anything since he attested his answer was "no".
Well, that's great. You pay 10.000 dollars to have the cognition that "you're a writer" and then never sit your ass down and write?
What planet are people living on?
