"As pessoas argumentarão: "Mas se reencarnação é verdade, por que não me lembro de quem eu era? Por que não me lembro das minhas vidas passadas?"
Lama Anagarika Govinda, mestre tibetano, responde: "A maioria das pessoas não se lembra de seus nascimentos, e ainda assim elas não duvidam que nasceram recentemente. Elas esquecem que a memória ativa é apenas uma pequena parte da nossa consciência normal, e que nossa memória subconsciente registra e preserva cada impressão e experiência passada, que nossa 'mente desperta' falha em lembrar."
Carl Jung, em seu trabalho psicológico, continuou lutando com essa questão da memória subconsciente. Ele a chamou de "o inconsciente coletivo", que era uma maneira pela qual um ocidental poderia abordar a ideia da reencarnação, de informações que vem de fora desta vida."

Additional quotes by Ram Dass

A young lad was sent to school. He began his lessons with the other children, and the first lesson the teacher set him was the straight line, the figure “one.” But whereas the others went on progressing, this child continued writing the same figure. After two or three days the teacher came up to him and said, “Have you finished your lesson?” He said, “No, I’m still writing ‘one.’ ” He went on doing the same thing, and when at the end of the week the teacher asked him again he said, “I have not yet finished it.” The teacher thought he was an idiot and should be sent away, as he could not or did not want to learn. At home the child continued with the same exercise and the parents also became tired and disgusted. He simply said, “I have not yet learned it, I am learning it. When I have finished I shall take the other lessons.” The parents said, “The other children are going on further, school has given you up, and you do not show any progress; we are tired of you.” And the lad thought with sad heart that as he had displeased his parents too he had better leave home. So he went into the wilderness and lived on fruits and nuts. After a long time he returned to his old school. And when he saw the teacher he said to him, “I think I have learned it. See if I have. Shall I write on this wall?” And when he made his sign the wall split in two. — Hazrat Inayat Khan The Sufi Message of Hazrat Inayat Khan

When you go out into the woods, and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light, and so it turned that way. And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree. The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying ‘You are too this, or I’m too this.’ That judgment mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are.
