Boopsie: Mr. Chairperson, I'd like to report to the task force on a very esteem-enhancing experience I had recently-- a past-life regression! With the help of a regression therapist, I was able to access one of my most fascinating lives-- that of a goat herdess in first century Galilee! What was most astonishing about this former life was that my family then was made up entirely of people I know from this life! Joanie! Zonker! What are you doing here? Joanie: Hush, daughter! Zonker: Mom, can I go to the stoning of St. Stephen?

Most people call these “regressions” dreams.

Zonker was into “stoning” even back then!

Saint Stephen with a rose,
In and out of the garden he goes…

@LWP: I thought most people would call these ‘regressions’ a proof of a disturbed mind…

@ARGYTHREE
When people from your real life appear in your “regressions,” you’re dreaming.

How come all these past life regressions are always so romantic ? No Monty Pythonesque mucking about ? No pox ridden, toothless existence for these ‘regressors’ ? No stench, poverty, violence, and misery ?
Reality apparently doesn’t exist in our past lives.

Seems legit.

Of course, Stephen wasn’t a Saint, then! Like having a coin dated 10 BC.

Back in the 80s California went way overboard on this crap. State paid these idiots back then

I feel sorry for Joanie, having to be Zonker’s mom.

@Jack’s WhirlofHate: Before someone can be pardoned they have to be convicted. Except on Planet Hate, I guess. Your guy won. Stop being such a poor winner and change the subject. Aren’t you gonna tell us what you’re wearing to the Swearing In ceremony?

@NG49: Have you ever read the book A Dog’s Purpose ? Interesting take on reincarnation, but also makes you think about past life regressions. Why NOT include the same characters; you’re supposed to be learning something. Kind of likethe film Groundhog’s Day .

@Jack: LOL! In that case, I really doubt that you’ll need the chastity belt…
