I think it may be possible, too. But I’m not sure how it would work out; and I think that the simplistic notion that many have that we die, and are reborn in another earthly existence ad infinitum - or until we wear out the experience that this old Earth can give - may be just a dumbed-down way that our limited understanding has of grasping a much more complex ‘system’.

I personally think we are all essentially immortal; and there is no end to finding ourselves in new conditions with new opportunities for growth and expansion. I can’t even think that ‘heaven’ would be a static, aimless existence, or that God would limit his creation to that. If it’s true that ‘as above, so below’ it seems there has to continue to be growth and expansion, in some manner.

And, if everything is ultimately One, in God, then it’s possible that we all have access, under certain rare and unusual conditions, to experience that we ourselves have never lived - but which has BEEN lived.

While I believe that some of the experiences I’ve read of ‘past life memories’ are sincere and inexplicable, I just don’t believe that they are necessarily the memories of an individual who lived, incarnate, the life that they seem to be ‘remembering’. I think there may be other explanations.

There are supposed to be more people alive today than there have been people on earth in the past. Guess that explains the soulless demonrats.
