Well, the only previous incarnations I have ever accessed were in a male body
and killing somebody, but that does not mean there were not others.

The problem with trying to impose ANY ethical or moral ideas on evolution is
that it runs up against the Japanese sword saint, Musashi, who attained
enlightenment in a single lifetime by killing 63 or so men in single combat
which sort of knocks any idea of there being an ethical or moral relationship
to enlightenment (at least in any conventional sense) into a cocked hat.

It would seem that in the matter of evolution, the only rule is that there
are no rules and that gives us a marvelous opportunity to ignore, laugh at,
or really piss off (and then laugh at as they jump up and down with all the
impotent fury of a room full of clergy) those who think that there are.

I still think the recipe for enlightenment involves lots of sex, leather,
meat and landmines and the rest is just so much hot air; interesting hot air,
but hot air.
