### Yesterdays: Giving Every Living Entity a Soul Since 1973
Yesterdays is a Minecraft modification (for Modjam 2008.1). It's based on Yes'
classic 1973 progressive rock album Tales from Topographic Oceans, which is in turn
based on a footnote in Paramahansa Yogananda's *Autobiography of a Yogi*.
Jon Anderson, Yes' lead singer, wrote the entire double album about four bodies of Hindu texts,
collectively known as the Shastras. This mod basically gives every living entity (monsters, players, animals)
a soul. Killing anything hurts your soul's karma. If you can go through a life without getting too much bad karma, you get promoted to a new soul level in your next life.
There are four soul levels, each with new abilities added onto those of its predecessor.
Once you level up from the fourth soul level, you achieve Moksha, which comes with many benefits and ends the base
progression of the mod.

This will be fleshed out and there will be ways to regain good karma when I think of them.
