>> "One starts meditation due to past life patterns and inclinations" - how is this true ?
You have a great need for other people to like and admire you.
You have a great deal of unused capacity, which you have not turned to your advantage.
Disciplined and self-controlled outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure inside.
You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations.
You pride yourself as an independent thinker and do not accept others statements without satisfactory proof.
You have a tendency to be critical of yourself.
At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing.
At times you are extroverted, sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, reserved.
While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them.I meditated even though sometimes it gave me headaches but now i can easily sit 2-3 hours.
I suspect there may be other explanations at least as plausible.
That makes sense if you believe in reincarnation.
Apparently, others parsed it as "(past life) patterns and inclinations", which does sound like an unsubstantiated claim about reincarnation.
Thank you for helping me understand the skepticism expressed in this branch of the comment tree.
