hello!
i've been thinking about the topic of reincarnation for a long time, and there are some things which seem illogical to me, or just haven't been talked about by anyone i know. it would surely help me a lot to hear what you have so say about this.
i think, my first question has to be this: when does the soul enter the body? at birth? i don't think so. what about caesarean delivery? how would the soul know when to enter the body?
i rather think, at the moment ovocyte and spermatozoon meet, a gate (or whatever^^) is opened, and the sould enters the body at that very moment. because at that moment, everything about the body is decided (looks, etcetera) and it would explain why sometimes people look similar, or have special physical traits during several incarnations.
then, my next question is, where is the memory stored? if i am right about the soul entering moment, couldn't it be that there is actual memory in the brain, actual neurons and synapses, which contain past life memory? because when the soul enters, it sort of brings the memory with it. like someone decorating a new home, or whatever. (strange comparison, sorry^^)
or is the memory stored in a non physical space like the aura or just any sort of energy field around the person? if that is the case, it must be made physical somehow, in order to remember, am i right? or are we capable of thinking with something else than our brain? surely we are, but i think being in a human body, the brain is necessary for every thinking process.
do we decide where we are born, or does someone else decide it? like a god, or spirits or whatever? i belive it's a mixture of both, what do you think? what happens, if several souls want to be born to the same parents? who decides who goes first?
is everyone enlightened? i absolutely don't think so. what happenes when we die? it would be a shock for the ordinary person, to suddenly be disembodied and in a totally differend world than earth. maybe there is a world between worlds, or several layers of haven (or whatever word would fit), and right at the bottom, it doesn't feel so much different than living on earth.
thanks for reading and maybe helping me understand
