You know, that was always a theory I batted when I was more hippie liberal in college. Interesting things come around like that.

I also remember an old man back then, not religious by any sense, but a believer. Said stuff about us always being an "eternal soul" that become human to live and learn and when we are ready, we ascend to a better heavenly plane. Like learning why heaven matters in experiences through a mortal coil.

Trippy then, but starts making sense in a way.
