X. Why Don't We Remember Our Past Lives?
These things were also known once by primitive people, the story of blue blood going inward. If someone has too much blue blood inside, they said: the person who has too much blue blood inside is first of all someone who has little of the soul, from whom the soul has gone out.

You can learn an enormous amount from language.
