Many of us
wonder why we do not remember who we were before we were born. We wonder what
it was like to be a soul without a body and what it will be like to be one
again. Many of us have a strange sense that we do remember, as if we did
experience a bodiless existence, but we can’t quite recall the details. We
may remember feeling as if we were flying, or as if we were just incredibly
light and unrestricted in our movements. Still, most of us do not recall
anything in detail about the time before we incarnated into a human body.
There are many possible reasons for this deep forgetting, one of which is
that remembering would probably impinge upon our ability to fully commit to
this life. Experiencing life on earth without any memory of an alternative
existence allows us to be here completely, and that is what is required in
order for us to learn much of what we must learn here. Most of us are not
meant to spend our time here preoccupied with concerns beyond the realm of
this lifetime. Instead, it is our job to occupy our bodies and our planet
with a fullness that would not be possible if we were constantly aware of
another, and extremely different, realm of existence.
There is no doubt that life on earth is difficult in ways that life outside
of a body is not. As we modulate our energy to move into a body, our
consciousness changes, and this is a necessary change. Forgetting other
levels of being protects us from a confused and divided experience. Soon
enough, we will be back where we started, so thinking too much about it now
is a bit like being on a fascinating journey and spending the whole time
thinking about going home. It is more in alignment with our purpose here to
be fully present in the gift of this journey, unreservedly offering our
energy to the experience we are having right now.
