Whether literally or figuratively, reincarnation deserves attention in a rarely considered context. It extends beyond conventional Western thinking by assuming previous and future lives are elements of a threaded ongoing reality. This begs the question of how one feeds the desire to recover intellectual, emotional, and physical health. What happens when a person strives to recapture a condition based on a memory of what something was under circumstances that never existed in a current life narrative, yet the memory seems tangible and meaningful? Whether or not this might be a trick of the mind or an interlude with the World of Ideal Forms is incidental. Wishing to return to a familiar self-actualization matters most, and the intimacy of the memory plays an essential role in its significance, imagined or not.
