Subject: What is an ancestor?
In reply to: IDAHO 's message, "Here's why I think Cannabist is right" on 00:36:45 07/15/03 Tue

First of all, I thought that all pre-borns had access to both sexes, because there was something inherently different in being awakened in the womb and taking the water of life. I haven't read the prequels yet, but since it seems that we only have three people to go off of (to my knowledge) . . . Then again, what do I know?

Second of all, IDAHO, you said that the sisters were hoping Taraza could access Leto II's memories. I thought that ancestral memories could be accessed by direct ancestors, i.e. great grandfather and not grandaunt. Ghanima and Leto II had their father's memories, but not Alia's, so why would Taraza have Leto II's memories?

While I'm here and some of you may still be reading, can someone explain to me Leto II's death memories, and how much of Paul's memories Leto II had? If Leto II had memories of Paul's life after conception through death, could he access them while Paul was still alive?
