Rivendale, I find this idea of the reason for life quite alien. Taking a moment to try to remember my Mormon upbringing I am pretty sure I remember being taught that the importance of learning and growing and becoming something more of a person was primary. Is that being back seated by correlation? I can't believe it would be entirely.Rivendale wrote: ↑Sun Nov 13, 2022 7:58 pmIf the most important reason for being here is to learn how to return back I would question using this method. The reason? Because this method is indistinguishable from human emotions. Emotions that are created and impacted by genetics, nature and the nurture of the family one grows up in.huckelberry wrote: ↑Sun Nov 13, 2022 1:13 am
for peoples sake, for their intellectual personal spiritual growth toward maturity . Leaving behind childish imitation of caring to enter real experience (perhaps we misunderstanding each other?)
I am much inclined to doubt a preexistence. I think our personhood is something that we are in the process of growing and creating now. It includes the critical components of genetics, nature and the nurture of ones family. It includes the culture and community in which we live. Those are fundamental to who we really are. They would not be like temporary clothing. Our growth into real people includes our own choices work and understanding but none of us exist alone.
