Theos-Talk Archives (December 2002 Message tt00452)

Fair enough that you wouldn't want any vestigial body
parts floating around. But what about other things
that, in effect, are more lasting than our biological
bodies? For example, photos, historical documents,
etc. Do the thoughts we write on paper act as an out
growth of one of our organs and, in turn, if we were
to reincarnate and those thoughts are still around
does that mean we will have weak thoughts in that
incarnation? I've always wondered that, if this indeed
is the case, then people like Hitler, Shakespeare and
even HPB, are going to have an absolutely torrid time
come their next incarnation!!
