As i just wrote another thread deadly similar to the concepts here.. I have to pose a question. Or rather, an observation.

If we can supposedly stay in the spirit realm as long as we want, until we "learn enough lessons from earth" as was stated...

How does one measure the value of lessons learned here, and furthermore, is it not true that there is an infinite amount of information to be learned? This seems like an indiscrepancy in the idea of individual spirits or souls going on a journey. Like, "bits of consciousness incarnating". How can there be individual spirits? Surely they themselves must be a part of the whole as well. Then what experiences THEIR experiences in the spirit realm? Another level of consciousness?

In the spirit we are all equal.We all have our individuality but are all connected.Think of the internet.
We are all connected to the greater whole but still have individuality.

There must just be one complete whole... That is simultaneously experiencing everything, but since everything implies that there is a start and end to the amount of information... it must be experiencing the infinite, all the time. Again, including ourselves, we are all individual pieces of experience.

Children speaking about past lives? I don't disagree it's a possibility, but I'm wary to say that they, or us, are inhabited by individual spirits or even souls. There can only be one soul in everything. One soul experiencing everything.
