Why did you choose this period in time to live in?
Imagine that our souls all reincarnate over and over again. When we die, we go back to a kind of heaven which is like a staging area. This place is timeless and eternal as are all the souls who end up there. All of creation across all eons of the existence of this universe are laid out before us. When we are ready, we choose a time and place to live in again. When we are reborn, we forget everything, all knowledge of this timeless immortal reality. When we die, we return back to it, with all past knowledge and all that we have learned during the life we just lived.
So, the question is, assuming the above paragraph is true (I know it's not, but lets just try to pretend) why do you think your eternal soul would have chosen this time and place for you to live in? What was the appeal of it? What was the lesson that your soul wanted to learn from it? What great work did you soul have planned for itself by living as you at this time in history and this place you find yourself in?
