As well as this, they would feel "very old". So how does one know if they have worked on the Work before? I think several people have mentioned that latent abilities (ie. abilities that were earned in previous lives) start to unfold in steps 2 and 3. This brings me onto another question. If one still owes negative karma from many previous lifetimes, how does one work it all off? And how long does it take? A lifetime? Many more? Any ideas please? Take care, Kurt
