Title: prexistence Post by: ask_not on June 06, 2012, 10:27:29 AM I am curious if it is possible that we existed in some form before we were born? any thoughts

before that, I doubt it. Each of us is a unique creation, contingent on a specific happenstance of conception, formed out of a somewhat random assortment of genes, our life experiences, our actions and relationships. If we preexisted, what distinguishes one person in that state of preexistence from another? Title: Re: prexistence Post by: Frodo on June 16, 2012, 12:59:21 AM Is this in reference to reincarnation?
Title: Re: prexistence Post by: HagridOfTheDeep on July 04, 2012, 05:40:09 PM I wouldn't be surprised if the essence of me existed in infinite pieces universes away.
Title: Re: prexistence Post by: Yelnoc on July 04, 2012, 06:22:40 PM That depends on whether you hold our consciousness ("soul") is tied directly to our brain, or if it is somehow independent of our brain. I see no evidence for the latter so I assume the former, though it's not something I ever think about.
