Hannah asked Katherine Arden:

Do you believe in past lives like how some people are inexplicably drawn to some countries and cultures they have never experienced?

Katherine Arden At risk of coming across as a strange one, I have to say that I don't believe in past lives because I don't believe in time. I think past present and future are concepts we created to help define our existence, but that they are not real. There's some quantum physics, I believe, that backs me up on this point. I do believe that we can resonate strongly with things beyond ourselves, so that something we have never experienced can still seem familiar or have emotional resonance for us. So in that sense, perhaps I do believe in 'past' lives.
