But I don't believe it (albeit Poul Anderson experimented with such ideas in "The Long Remembering"). And our faults are ours, not inherited from past ancestors.<br /><br />SeanSean M.

Can their claims be verified? I find enough of value in Buddhist teaching about karma and meditation. I need to resolve my greed, hate and delusion whether or not I inherited them from John in the seventeenth century.<br />Paul.paulshackley2017@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704115766930975286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538502828554372917.post-41049437255020147482017-07-04T07:52:21.974+01:002017-07-04T07:52:21.974+01:00Kaor, Paul!

I am not sure if Anderson mentioned Dante in any others of his works.<br /><br />While I certainly agree actions have consequences and can AFFECT people, I don't believe a deceased person's memories can be inherited by a later person.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
