Hi again Element, I see the above quote, from MN 2, a little differently - it may not be significant to you - hope you can indulge me a little further

.

The relevant emphasis I see being on what we attend to - have our focus on.

By allowing our concerns to be on ideas not fit for our attention ( to me this means spending our time on ideas about reincarnation ) we do not have time to attend to the important life - the only one we have chance of living and practicing in, now. I agree with Brad Warner's sentiments about our ability to know anything post life.

My experience in TB is that attention for practice is not based on ideas of reincarnation, and post this life reincarnation is not the focus of practice 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. Online discusssions draw attention towards aspects which differ in approaches to practice.
