I read the following on the internet, where a person either claimed to be a Noble One or, otherwise, was exhorting with a Lion's Roar the path to stream-entry or possibly Full Enlightenment. The hairs and goose bumps stood up upon my skin as I read with awe the following Lion's Roar:
> A worldling without a knowledge of past lives would not see that as
> "incest".

My question is how does believing "*It’s not easy to find a sentient being who in all this long time has not previously been your mother*" result in becoming disillusioned, dispassionate and freed regarding all conditions?
