I wish to speak with you, preferably in person. The more I remember, the more concerned I am becoming about some things that I believe are different from the times before. I have many questions, so I will start by apologizingfor the intrusion into your privacy, if something is too dear to you to share, just say so.


When was the last time you were a child?

How old were you when you came back?

What prompted the return of your memories?

Do the thoughts and memories always come seperately?

I am sorry to disappoint Shang Li; the nature of my enlightenment and immortality was imposed on me by a relic that has since been lost once again. My aging was stopped at the age of 30 years and although I have been killed several times in the intervening years, my body simply repairs the damage and I am returned to life.

The one time I was decapitated, the memories took five years to return completely. I returned to the place of my birth and engaged in intensive physical training and meditation on the Tao. When I returned to my home, I spent time talking about the events of my life with my friends and co-workers. I also began keeping a "Life Journal" that I can use in the future.

It was my experience at that time that the thoughts came before the memories.

However, in my 2,215 years of life I have helped many others return on their journies of immortality. In those times, the memories seemed to come back over the course of one to two years. Interaction with those who knew you in the previous life helps the memories come back faster. ALthough there is something odd in your return in that most people have a seven- to 30-year period between their death and rebirth. This means that your memories too may come back sooner.

I am here to help in any way I can.
