Reply #27: Well, I happen to believe in eternal forces as well.

That matter always existed and always will exist. I believe the Big Bang as we know it, was only the beginning of a perpetual cycle of expansion and eventual contraction of the universe. So the idea of eternal forces isn't foreign to my way of thinking, even if it is hard for us finite linear beings that start and stop (birth and death) to fathom.

But one thing I don't understand about this concept of a spiritual consciousness before birth is, if life here on Earth is really just a means of test us, whats the point if our memories are wiped clean at birth? I mean, how can we truly be tested if we can't remember who we were in the "pre-life" as you put it? Or are you suggesting there are "spiritual pedophiles" who are predisposed in that way before birth, and some of it still rubs off on their beings once here on Earth? Or do you see it more as just addictive "spirit personalities" that exhibit addictions (such as "sex addictions" in this case) here on Earth? I'm just trying to understand.
