[...] me as being rather silly. For one, I don’t believe that we need to be “saved.” As I mentioned before, I believe we chose to come to this Earth to live out a physical existence. I don’t see any [...]

I agree Eric, I love to spend time chatting with others who are open to talk about such things.

Patty, that’s a good philosophy, to accept the mystery. We all have to do that to a certain extent. The freedom to choose right here and now is part of our free will, one of our greatest gifts.

I’m liking your Meaning Mondays, they’re a great way to start a week.

Such a big topic, Eric. It sounds like you’ve really done a lot of exploration about this and possess a kind of knowing. I always admire and respect that, although I don’t have it myself. I truly don’t know what happens before or after life, and I’ve come to realize that my way through is to be content and accepting of the mystery. But I love the metaphor of things like reincarnation and choosing which life to lead. For me that speaks to our freedom to choose right here and now, to reincarnate and reinvent ourselves through the process of growth, self-awareness, transition, and deep reflection.

Annabel, cell memory and dna memory are interesting topics. Taking a more physical approach to storing and retrieving memories of other people or ancestors saved in our cells or dna. It gets even more interesting when compared with the conflicting theory (or maybe counterpart theory) of past life memories stored in our soul bodies.

People that overcome great trauma really amaze me. I’ve not had much trauma myself, so I can barely relate to those that have had bad experiences. But those that rise above it can serve as a great source of inspiration. I know a few of our fellow bloggers fall into this area of inspiration.

It is amazing how we can think and discuss the nature of the universe from across the planet. The Internet is wonderful for such things. We are lucky to live in these times.

Jon, Excellent points. What is logical to one is always illogical to someone else. Part of the human experience I supposed. Free will to make our own decisions and come to our own conclusions. In a way it’s funny that we even ponder such things, as they’ll likely all become clear when we pass from this world.

I find challenging and testing new theories to be a great exercise. It’s a good workout for my mind to ponder such things. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Krissa, I like it. A big ant farm. That idea has crossed my mind. It’s a good analogy actually. Ants puttering about, living their lives, doing there things, while us greater beings look on, watching them and enjoying their activity. I imagine that could scale up nicely to human and the spirit world/god consciousness.

My dad introduced me to some of these ideas. We have chats from time to time about life, the world, and topics beyond.

I don’t think we come from anywhere really but the concept of cell memory family history is interesting. For example, do I like learning langauges and travel because that’s what my ancestors did? Or is it because they’re from Scotland and I feel the urge to get away from cold weather…

Yes, life is fuller with some trials and tribulations but you don’t want to much of them. What interests me is how some people rise above a terrible childhood and thrive despite it while others become addicts of some kind or repeat the cycle.

So many unanswered questions from both of us but brilliant that we are thinking about these things and discussing them across the miles:)

Its an interesting concept and one that is mulled over by scientologists, conversations with god and a few other religions.

Yet as with all religions and all beliefs they need to be continually challenged and doubted if a person is to arrive at what they are willing to settle as being true for themselves.

As what is logical to one person is illogical to another. Religions are a fine example of that

Wow! Once again, you blow my mind. I am curious where you heard about this originally?
I used to day dream that God was watching us all as some kind of grand experiment. Kind of looking in as a person would observe an ant farm. And then, of course I would discount that because it was too distant and analytical. And I know that God is personally active in our lives. But the idea of an experiment still seems fairly accurate even if it’s not an very good way to describe it.
