OP here: Since the #4th point got maximum reaction, let me add more to it from a very different perspective. Far east text has concept of Samskaras (Impressions). These are earned by us as we do karma (work) and react to outcome of it. The impressions are "carried over" to next Birth. This forms the core nature and characteristics of the person. It's a theory to explain how do we have different nature/character. This is concise explanation of it https://www.sivanandaonline.org//?cmd=displaysection§ion_id=871 https://www.sivanandaonline.org//?cmd=displaysection§ion... (Grep for "Past Samskaras Constitute Prarabdha" to jump to exact that point)
- andrepd 5y agoSupernatural explanations and superstitions are not very useful to understand the world.
- zerop 5y agoIt's a theory and not superstition. Usually psychological theories can not be proven and may be wrong. it is someone's interpretation.
- hans1729 5y agoOh please. To even compare scientific models with "someones interpretation" neither does justice to the discipline of psychology, nor to your readers here. Its almost insulting. I consider myself very open minded, but don't bring supernatural stuff to a conversation where the participants actually seek to understand. That's just off.
