"Perhaps, but most people run on enough dianetics will find a few past life incidents. Whether this indicates actual past lives is well beyond the scope of my understanding. I've run past life incidents. They seemed real enough to me. The key thing, regardless of their actual reality, is that people feel better after uncovering an explanation for their condition, and experience relief. For me, that suffices."
Well, I feel that some parts of the Bible are literal, and some are figurative and symbolic. Maybe auditing is the same...namely maybe all these past lives really aren't past lives, but rather symbolic of unresloved problems, issues, desires, concerns and so on.
BTW, I believe that the notion of past traumas affecting present life was invented by Freud, not Hubbard. Hubbard basically borrowed from Freud.

This is a fairly old post I am replying to. I found it while surfing around FR at night. Maybe I am a strange bird but to me the fact that past traumas affect present life is as obvious as the sun rising in the morning. I don't understand how anyone could argue otherwise. I think Mark Twain was quoted as saying,"once a cat sits on a hot stove lid he will never sit on a hot one again, but neither will he ever sit on a cold one again".
