And/or, you know it perfectly well between lifetimes, but deliberately
avoid knowing it when choosing to be born into a culture that doesn't
believe in it, in order to do a specific job or learn a particular set
of lessons there.  For instance, you would probably not wish to be born
into Saudi Arabia with a firm and lasting conviction of the reality of
reincarnation, because being so at odds with the mono-religion around
you would distort your life (or maybe even end it) so that you wouldn't
get your task done.  Or if you got yourself born into some small Texas
town right now, aiming at high political office in order to experience
the use of political power with all its prices, triumphs, and
limitations, knowledge of reincarnation would only get you into heaps of
trouble.

People born into societies that accept reincarnation as reality often
have no problem remembering some of their own past lives (see some of
the recent books about this for evidence), because it's not likely to
get them locked up or killed to speak of such things.  In most of
America, of course, speaking about this as if you believe it just gets
you dismissed as a kook, which is also not useful if you are here to do
anything that requires that you be taken seriously.
