Can We Remember Ourselves Before Birth? 👶💭

in #philosophy6 years ago


Pre-Birth Memories

The soul or essence of a problem is that which identifies it; if completed without it, it doesn't exist. To say our souls are eternal is to say in some shape or form that we still exist, our identities are not lost.

However, how do we still exist in our present form is lost? How may we be identified without having our present state?

To answer that, I would like to say that I believe we are intricate mixtures of those things that remain with those things that have changed. There should be those things that remain, or our identities would not keep constant even though, of course, they change.

The important Of Recognition

Memories are associations of similarities with dissimilarities; we do not remember those things that remain (it makes no sense to remember those things that are presently before us) but those things that are no longer. We do not remember that which we are but, that which we were; we know that which we are. So, recognition is an association of that which we are with that which we were. Without the ability to recognise, there is no capability to identify.

The real question is: if we apparently had our beginning at birth, having no past, how did we identify or recognise anything?

Of course, one may say, "We didn't. we knew things for the first time."

A Glimpse Of Our Former Self

However, knowing one thing for the first time depends on recognition. There should be a memory of something once known. For how would we in the most simple way identify or recognise that which we've never known?

To which, one may quickly retort, "That's, exactly, the problem; we don't recognise that which we've never known."

Yet, this is not entirely true. We identify its substance if nothing else. For instance, the wind is formless but has substance. The substance is that which is crucial to all things. We are born with the recognition of substance; if we did not have this recognition, there is no awareness.

What Is Substance?

The substance is basically existence. It is the capability to differentiate from that which is from that which isn't. For instance, we know the wind has substance because we all know that which it is not.

We are born with memory; we are born with recognition of substance; we are born with recognition of that which is.

To be born with recognition of substance, we must have known substance before our birth. For, how is one able to identify that which they can't remember?

Sort:  

It isn't that important but it is nice if we can remember whàt we have done down there inside.

Although all of this is not untrue,
it is not the only explanation, for there is more real point of view.

The , for lack of a better term, light, has information encoded in it about what you are seeing. All the things tell you what they are.

And, it is apparent that we have lived before, all we need to do is remember.

Life really is shades of grey, but substance is what keeps us waking up every morning and doing what we need to do, our lives MUST be substantial and their IS reason for us being here. Very philosphical poost :) well done.
