It was not Cato but the information, portions of the information, were once given by Cato and the man is a follower of some, though not all, of Cato’s works. Now the works will make you think, so read them.

In certain portions of your world there were memories from other peoples and other layers of existence, and these memories for some time remained. They were part of your racial unconscious as it developed. You knew for example, some of you, that in other existences you had other abilities and used them well. Some of you, in previous existences, before this planet was as you know it, were a part of highly technical civilizations which you ruined out of avarice and greed and ignorance; spiritual ignorance. And so you began once again as savages. And yet no knowledge can be removed from you and no sense of your identity, past, present or future, can be divided from you and as you yourself do the dividing. And so in your dreams you remember the past in which you have been involved and so it seemed to you these had been forced out of a garden. Now this particular situation was reenacted many times and many places and not in one way only.

Now, you also have the memory of your future existences, for time does not exist as it seems to you now, and a portion of you is aware of your future as it is aware of your past. And so also, in your terms of time, as this sifts through to the physical being you had a great dream of grandeurs achieved, and yet you look around and see them unachieved in the morning. When your species squatted in the cliff caves and when they ran in terror across the face of the earth pursued by wolves and imagined that demons lurked in the shadows, when with ghost memories were great contrast to the world that they saw and know, and so they weaved a story from their memories. And so your legends are not only made of your past but they are also weaved from your future, in your terms, and all of these are interwoven even with your flesh. So that if all physical knowledge were taken from you, all the knowledge that you have learned since birth in this life, and that is impossible, but if it were possible still within you would always be the inner knowledge not only of your own private past and future, but of the private past and future of your kind and of your species.
