I've never experienced a high like that. One in which time is warped. I have heard many stories like that. I have awaken, looked at the clock, dreamed what seemed like a very long dream, awaken again only to find out ten minutes have passed.
I agree that people likely enter this world with no memories. But our spirits are eternal so perhaps our spirits have some sort of history it carries. People have called me an "old soul" whatever that means. One of my girlfriends used to claim she was a new soul. Also, some people seem to feel they have lived past lives or been reincarnated. That could be some experience of their ancestors that is passed through reproduction somehow.
Sounds like inception. I have had dreams, awaken, thought i was awake at least. Only to find i was still in another dream. It doesn't happen often. It's kind of like lucid dreaming. dreaming when you know you're dreaming and it becomes a playground to fly, wreck police cars, do crazy and fun stuff.
Created in God's own image.
I think this is due to free will. Self awareness. After Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge, they were embarassed by their nakedness. Animals are not embarassed because they are naked.
I think this is due to a greater conciousness. For example, in my dream I hear foreign languages. How are people speaking foreign languages in my dreams if I do not personally know any foreign languages? How can this be?
I don't understand this one.
Someone in my family had their life flash before their eyes then reawakened on this plane. They fell through ice into a frozen lake and nearly died.
I think when I experimented with acid my ego took a major blow. I saw there is an infinite amount to learn and God's infinite power and how miniscule my knowledge and understanding is compared to the infinite. The first time I tripped I had a very negative response to the television. I felt terrible negative energy from it and was demanding everyone turn off the tv.
My guess is that people and the souls they have experience a beginning but have no end. Maybe some of these people who seemingly are reincarnated needed to have a do over for one reason or another. It's like they didn't have a fair shake to do something. What is that something? Know and experience a relationship with God is what I am thinking.
I do not believe in it but do not rule it out. Jesus Christ didn't talk about it. Christian perspective seems like you get one chance to not fuck this all up. You get mercy and forgiveness if you accept that Jesus Christ died for your sins meaning God who created us in His own image birthed Himself into the flesh and suffered human suffering to take the punishment for our sin. Things of the spirit world are beyond my understanding but when i am in nature and rid my mind of useless thoughts and just listen to the wind and rain and birds and get away from cellphone towers and electric lines I feel a part of something greater.
I think it was C.S. Lewis who said that Buddhism would be the next closest thing if there wasn't Christianity. Personally, I am a Christian and agree with how you explained it. One chance to not fuck this up. There are people where it gets fucked up though no fault of their own. Do those souls get a re-roll? You are right Jesus didn't talk about that and it's not really found in the Bible.

I think that there are some souls that are reincarnated. The boy who lived before may be one example:

Isn't that buddhist theory?

Someone said whatever pain or suffering you are feeling GOD has felt it too and He understands. I thought that was powerful.
