(Bernice M.: “Regardless of who chose, it was destined that he die.”)

(Jim H.: “Didn’t you say earlier, referring to the woman who was born in a minority race, that her challenges had been set up by a previous personality, in our terms?”)

Indeed. Remember, this is your entire identity of which we are speaking. It is only you who are presently aware of but one portion of it; and this portion you insist upon calling yourself. You are the self who makes these decisions.

(Bert C.: “What recourse would the poor individual who was born with all of these seemingly insurmountable handicaps have, were she to say consciously, at the ego level, ‘I just don’t want any of this. I would have much preferred to have been born aristocratic’?”)

A rich man who tries to be poor for a day to learn what poverty is learns little, because he cannot forget the wealth that is available to him. Though he eats the same poor fare as the poor man, and lives in the same poor house for a day — or for a year or five years — he knows he has his mansion to return to. So you hide these things from yourself so that you can relate. You forget your home so that you can return to it enriched.
