"The lady Meng-p'o gives each soul a potion of forgetfulness so that all past lives are forgotten before recycling into the cosmos." |
Likewise, according to the inscription on the Orphic Gold Tablet, "Thou shalt find to the left of the House of Hades a Spring,
and by the side thereof standing a White Cypress.
To this Spring approach not near. ...
(tr. Guthrie)
The spring on the left is associated with Forgetfulness (Lêthê)" www.cs.utk.edu/~mclennan/BA/AGEDE/Water.html
