How about it guys? We can't remember anything while we are in our mom's tummy, but what do you think happens to us before we are babies? Maybe we are mummies? Or what about a possible cricket?


hmm...

I'm trying to find the right words but I'm so goddamn tired. What is that called when you're a person from another life? Indians believe that we are crickets and other cultures believe that we are animals.

G-d told me that he doesn't whip out the Soul Shooter to inject you into the fetus until day 177. Until then the fetus is just a meat machine.

I've transcended time and space before.

Unfortunately, it would be impossible to discuss the subject without a common frame of reference.

The entire universe including time itself began the moment I first acheived consciousness.

Do you remember anything from your first two-three years of life? I doubt it. Does that mean you didn't exist? :confused:

From a Buddhist point of view, you always existed before you were born. You came from your mother and father - a part of them - and they came from their parents and so forth. So in a somewhat bizarre sense, you have always "been."

I remember what I was like before I was born. I was swimming around in this enormous place and there were lots of people just like me!

I have no proof that I did exist beyond hearsay. The same goes for the history of the whole world and everything in it that I have not personally seen. I don't actually believe this, I'm just making a point.

Sanity and insanity are legal terms, not medical terms. Your use here though is neither, but simply using the word to describe what you think to be a socially unacceptable belief system.
