Hi John and Doves,
This weird story brought to mind the fact that we existed BEFORE we entered the womb. Almighty God knew us - had created our souls, before we entered our human avatars (physical bodies). Which corresponds to the idea (reality) that our current reality - the physical plane that we live in - is a nursery school, of sorts.
Psalm 139: 13-18 corresponds with this truth. See link below. The first part reads - "For you created my inmost being; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. The entire Psalm is mind-blowing. Literally mind-blowing. We were created before we were given physical bodies to enter. Life is one big test. One big race. It's arduous, tiring, dramatic and desperately sad. It's the story of the battle between good v evil. We are living in a state where all are being given an obvious choice between good and evil. The luke warm - or couldn't-be-bothered lot, are spat out. We know what happens to the evil ones.

I am not advocating for reincarnation, as such, but something about this article rang bells for me. The whole phenomenon of deja vu springs to mind. I used to experience this a lot, as a teenager.
Something to ponder on!
