I guess we'll need to agree to disagree on that point, then. My
feeling is that in spirit, we *can* travel to the stars, or anywhere
we please, as quickly as the speed of thought. I also feel we can
assume astral bodies and experience sensation with them at the same
vibrational frequency we then inhabit - so we *can* see, smell, taste,
touch, hear!
I don't believe at all that we are eager, after hundreds of
incarnations, to jump into an incarnation of pure suffering, for
example. Sure, if we arrange to have a mostly happy life, maybe the
prospect of such an incarnation seems all right. But for the most
part, I do not think that older souls welcome additional incarnations,
at least not on this planet.

I'm glad I didn't offend you. I wanted to be honest about how I felt.
Thanks. :-)
