Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
And then right after that the goddamn Mamluks hit us right in the Ayn Jalut.
ReplyDeleteYou know, if you do some of the really advanced Buddhist-Tantric or Hermetic practices for unlocking memory, you start to remember 'past lives'. Regardless of whether or not you believe these are a real thing, if you do these practices you end up having the effect of absolutely feeling the same way about your memories of the 1880s or the 1540s or Song China or whatever as you do about distant childhood memories. It's trippy.
