Re:
"As far as a maximum age, I have found that the consensus seems to be
that 7 is the absolute maximum age, because 7 is considered the "age of
awareness" [snip]& Katherine Dettwyler's research
In my husband's people -- I'm sorry, he doesn't know if this would be
his father's people (Pouiez) or his mother's (Otocoteri) sp??) life is
divided into seven year periods, too. The first seven years are called
the age of forgetting. My interpretation of his version (sorry, we're
very conscious of appropriation) is that people come into the world as
almost pure spirit, and have to forget their spirit-life in order to
learn to live in the physical bodies.
But anyone who has ever watched a newborn look up at his mother from the
breast knows this already, right?
