Alien Abductions, Memory, etc.

Whether or not you believe in Alien Abductions, how would you feel about it happening to you?

First, would you like to be abducted by aliens?

I'd love it.

It would be an interesing adventure.

I'm undecided.

I don't think I'd like my vacation spoiled that way.

Absolutely no way!

So the story goes, people get abducted by Aliens, but their memory of the event is erased. So, imagine yourself lying there, tied down by Aliens, who are performing unthinkable and extremely uncomfortable procedures. OK with that?

Sure---the fact that I'll never remember it makes it alright.

Wait a minute---let me rethink that.

Forget it---get me out of here.

When you have surgery under general anaesthetic, you don't remember a thing. But are you SURE that you did not feel the pain?

Yes, I'm absolutely sure I don't feel a thing.

No, maybe I felt all the pain, and just don't remember.

What? I'll never have surgery, now!

Think about the earliest experience you ever had, that you can actually remember (not just remember being told about it, or seeing pictures of it.) How old were you? (IF your're not sure, estimate your age.)

Doo you believe in reincarnation?

Yes, I've lived before.

Yes, I will live another life in the future.

Yes, both, I'm now living an intermediate live.

No---this is the only trip.

Do you have any sense of who you were in any previous lives?

I don't believe there was a previous life.

I believe there was a previous life, but I have no idea who I was.

Yes, I'm fairly sure I know who I was in a previous life.

If you answered that you had a previous life but do not know who it was, do you think it matters if you have a future life who will not remember who you were as his/her earlier incarnation?

Yes, it matters anyway.

No, I guess it must not matter.

I don't believe in reincarnation.

Who were you in a previous incarnation?

Somebody really important, like Joan of Arc or Napoleon.

Somebody of some importance, like a queen's lady in waiting or a military hero.

Just some unimportant person.

I don't believe I am a reincarnation.
