Adyashanti also shared something of his past life experience post-waking in an interview at the back of the book. He touched on what I call the mesh, how nodes can be released then or now, and how one can shift from one life to another. Also how we tend to remember what was unresolved from that time and how the lives are all actually concurrent. I’ve touched on this in several posts. It also illustrates the point value of the person.
