[Soul and memory] astrology and re-incarnation!

[Guest guest]

Assuming the simple model that there is a soul and portions of it

materialize with each birth.

 

While soul-memory may be different from physical/mental memory as we

all know it and experience it --

 

each birthtime could be like the computer booting up from power-down

state. The memory (RAM) does not <typically> remember wgat happened

during the last birthtime <last work-session>; however the session

was saved on the harddisk.

 

Does the human existence have analogous states of memory? We do know

that, for instance, there is genetic memory that we see evidence of

being shared in many lifeforms (similar genes in non-human lifeforms

as humans, for instance). The harddisk of creation, it seems does

exist. However, there may be other forms of 'memory' that are

preserved just like in the harddisk computer analogy.

 

Though it is more revealing and easier to experience rather than

describe, but there is benefit in both.
