Ok. So one question keeps coming back to me time and again. And I don't know if this is really the forum for such questions, but I have a feeling there are some reading who might be able to offer an opinion or two...
1- Let's assume for a moment that there is a higher level to our existence which generally not available to us.
2- And let's assume that we are on some sort of long term iterative journey that involves returning to an earthly existence, probably for the sake of advancing spiritually.
For those who have a hard time accepting those two assumptions, perhaps this is not the thread for you.. : )
My quandary is this-
What is the point of reaching for a higher level understanding of the nature of our existence if it is all going to be forgotten next time around? How can one ever advance in anything if one can't remember what has been learned previously? Imagine when entering tenth grade, one couldn't recall what was learned in 9th!
