Well, that is what I'd like thecorndogwalker to address. In my reading on the subject I don't come across many reports of people reporting that they were once a groundhog or generic alien entity. But if they were that too would be interesting and then statistically the odds of having twice been a human in the last few centuries are pretty slim.
innerSpaceman, I don't intend to limit it to the place and timeflow of earth, those are just the vast majority of claims I've seen for recovered past lives. I do not intend to impose rules on reincarnation, but intend to respond to the fact that overwhelmingly the reported knowledge of past lives are from one human life to another human life (and generally within the same race). If there are extensive reports of people finding they were aliens in another universe I'd like to be aware of them (and again, if that is the case then statistically being a human twice would be pretty unlikely).
If it is simply immune to any rational consideration, I'd be interested in that claim as well (since PLR is generally presented in at least a pseudo-rational context).
That is why I am taking the opportunity offered by thecorndogwalker to ask him questions about PLR. I can certainly create contextual structures that deal with my questions (particularly if I am willing to put it outside the realm of rational evidence) but I'd just be making **** up. I don't think my questions are unreasonable and presumably the proponents of PLR have spent time thinking about them so I'm curious what
their conclusions are.
To rephrase that part again (so that I don't seem to be imposing my own rules on reincarnation):

If cross-species, universe-wide reincarnation is real, it is statistically unlikely than any individual person now living has experienced a past human life. If it is limited to human-to-human transfer then it is statistically odd. So what would explain the claims (in looking around I'm seeing claims of more than 80% when the participants enter into the process believing that discovering past lives is possible) of a vast majority of participants finding just such connections.

If I am wrong and most PLR sessions actually find that nobody present (as statistics would lead us to expect) has previously experienced a human life but rather non-human terrestrial or non-terrestrial life (or if discovery is limited to human-to-human transfer, a smaller than half result, declining the farther back you go) then that is very informative and I appreciate having my understanding corrected, but my other questions are still intriguing to me as well.
