The NDE and Pre-birth
Kevin Williams' research conclusions

Many people believe that life begins at birth. This seems reasonable because most of us have no memory of a life before we were born. As we grow up from childhood to adulthood, we become more and more carried away with the busy world of life. We play and go to school; we develop relationships and go to work. The thought that there exists any other kind of life than the world we live in seems like a pipe dream, a religious fantasy, a scientific impossibility. But then there are the millions of accounts of people who crossed over the boundary of life and returned with memories of a life after death and a life before they were born. The accounts are remarkably consistent with each other.

Why people believe in life before birth
 
There are a number of good reasons why people believe they have lived before they were born. Here is a list of them: 

(a) During a near-death experience, people such as Betty Eadie have received forgotten memories of a life in heaven before they were born. Such memories have been called "pre-birth" memories. Other experiencers have also re-remembered such memories during an NDE.

(b) Some experiencers, such as RaNelle Wallace and Plato's account of the NDE of Er, see people in heaven who are yet to be born during an NDE. Sometimes people are even seen preparing for being born into the world.

(c) A relatively small number of people, such as Roy Mills, were permitted to retain vivid pre-birth memories when they were born. As such people grow older, they usually forget these memories.

(d) Some people, such as Jeffrey Keene, are inspired by their day-to-day life experience to remember past-life memories. In Jeffrey Keene's case, he has very compelling circumstantial evidence identifying him as a particular individual in history. People can also recover past-life memories through such means as near-death experiences, hypnosis, meditation, hallucinogens, and dreams, just to name a few.

(e) The eastern religions of Buddhism and Hinduism teach reincarnation. In ancient times, Christianity and Judaism held a belief in reincarnation. In such countries were these religions are dominant, very young children have vivid memories of past-lives. There is evidence that such memories appear in young children born in the West as well; but, because reincarnation is generally considered an "alien" concept in western society, young children are often told these memories are imaginary and that they are encouraged to not entertain these thoughts and feelings. As they grow up, these thoughts and feelings are forgotten.

(f ) There exists compelling circumstantial evidence concerning the possible reincarnation of some individuals such as President Kennedy and Jeffrey Keene.

Why we must forget pre-birth memories

Near-death experiencers reveal that there are many good reasons why we must forget our pre-birth memories before we are born. Here are the main reasons:

(a) To learn more effectively and faster due to the limitations that only a physical body can achieve.

(b) To focus more on physical reality in order to better complete our missions in life so that we are not so "heavenly minded" we are "no earthly good." If we retained all of our prior knowledge, we might not bother to experience the physical life for its fulfillment - we might decide to skip the pain and thus miss the pleasure.

(c) To make decisions out of free will without being completely influenced by our higher knowledge. Any other way would be equivalent to a student being given the answers before taking a test. It is not a good way to learn.

(d) To allow us to make mistakes out of free will for the purpose of learning and growing.

(e) To appreciate, benefit, and learn all we can from our physical life by re-discovering what we knew before - now in physical ways. Through a physical life we must re-discover how to return to God. And it is not enough to re-discover these things, we must incorporate this knowledge into our daily activities. We must make an effort to remember and find that our true selves are spirit and our spirits are one with God.

(f ) To be able to succeed as a normal human beings to advance our spirits. If we retained all our pre-birth knowledge, we would seem abnormal to the rest of society.

(g) To do everything humanly possible to fulfill our missions for humanity and God.

(h) To make the most of the human experience for ourselves and God. We are spirit beings having a human experience. When we return to spirit, everyone benefits from our human experience.

(i ) To prevent unpleasant and harmful past-life memories from completely influencing our lives. Imagine having a past-life memory of being Adolf Hitler. Such a past-life memory would make it very difficult to function with these memories and would seriously impede the opportunities to correct the past-life mistake of being Hitler.

(j ) To help God create a human heaven on earth which only humans can build with the help of the spirit of unconditional love.

Evidence of our eternal soul

  Our spirits has been alive extending beyond the beginning of the universe. (Angie Fenimore)

  All souls were created in the beginning and are finding their way back to God. (Edgar Cayce)

  All spirits have been alive for eternity. (Ruth Montgomery)

  Memories of our pre-birth existence are stored in our subconscious mind (soul) and superconscious mind (spirit); but not in our conscious mind (body). (Edgar Cayce)

  A central aspect of our eternal existence is continued spiritual growth through love and service. We can spend what seems like an eternity before incarnating in the flesh. During that period in the spirit world, soul growth can be attained there as well. (Nora Spurgin)

Why we come to Earth

  We came to this physical realm to live the human experience and help each other rise to the higher level of love.  (Sherry Gideon)

  Our own desire to grow and learn leads us to be born in the physical realm. (Amber Wells)

One of the purposes of this physical realm is to test our spiritual ideals to see if they are real. Only by becoming subject to the physical influences of the flesh and the laws of this physical realm can a soul know for certain if they really possess that spiritual ideal. (Edgar Cayce)

The ideal place to grow spiritually is on earth because of the influence of a physical body. The opportunity for the full range of love (child’s love, marital love, and parental love) is ideally available while one is on earth. Love which has been misused or misdirected, is also best corrected in the physical. On earth, there is the full range of physical and spiritual senses with which to act and communicate. (Nora Spurgin)

One of our goals in this world is true self-realization - knowing that we are a soul, a part of God, yet also the Whole. (Thomas Sawyer)

Our desire for soul growth in this world arises from a desire to be close to God. In the spirit world, there is an ever-increasing unity with the love of God. This is also our goal for soul growth in the physical world. (Nora Spurgin)

We made a promise to God to accept the opportunities, challenges and responsibilities of a physical life, to make the most of this opportunity for ourselves and God, to return to God with the knowledge and experience gained such that likewise, God could be enhanced by the experience. By doing good, improving our minds, and learning to cope with physical reality, our love for God will bring us back to Him. (David Goines)

Souls choose to be born with physical disabilities for the purpose of soul growth and to stay compassionate. (Lynn)

There are many rewards for choosing to be born with a disability. (Mary Ellen)

Souls who choose to be born mentally retarded are special souls who have retained more than a normal amount of their pre-birth memories and who know much more than they are able to express. Such hardships are necessary for soul growth. (Sandra Rogers)

Some souls choose to be born for a short period of time and die as a baby or child. The purpose for this is to teach others important lessons. To love a child who is born less than perfect is an important lesson. (Dr. Frank Oski)

Some parents lose a child tragically in an accident. That child was fulfilling his or her mission. The parent was fulfilling his or her mission also. The parents are in that circumstance to learn a lesson. Maybe the lesson was patience, love, acceptance, understanding, or comfort of others. It can be a number of things. (George Anderson)

We are born to face trials and gain the experience of a physical life. (RaNelle Wallace)

Some people decide to be born into favorable conditions and some people decide to be born into unfavorable conditions. The choice has to do with satisfying divine justice and karma. (Edgar Cayce)

How we plan our Earth life

We choose our destiny. Before we were born, we had an opportunity to see all the possibilities for our life. Using an analogy, it is like standing on a mountain top looking at a large river below. We saw all the possibilities like a person can see all the branches and tributaries of the river. Our mission is to float this "river" of life. All the branches (opportunities) eventually return to the river (our mission) and to the sea (God). Returning to the sea is predestined, but how we decide to float the river it is based on our own free will. (Betty Eadie)

Everyone assisted in planning the conditions on earth, including the laws of mortality which would govern us. These included the laws of physics as we know them, the limitations of our bodies, and spiritual powers that we would be able to access. (Betty Eadie)

A heavenly process exists in the spirit realm that is designed to help us choose our destiny. (Dr. Allen Kellehear)

The heavenly process determines the number of destinies a soul can choose from. This process is an astrological process. This astrological process is connected to the various realms of the afterlife. (Edgar Cayce)

A cosmic matrix of rainbow light exists around the earth. This matrix provides souls with a number of earthly destinies from which to choose from. Then, before we are born into the world, we are required to forget these memories. (Plato)

We choose the life we are going to live and how much karma we are going to meet and settle. (Arthur Yensen)

Before we were born, we choose our stations in life based upon the objectives of completing our missions. (Betty Eadie)

We choose which body we to enter before birth. (Sandra Rogers)

When planning our life before birth, we do not deal with the details. Instead, we have before us our relationships to others and to situations. But some people have squandered their opportunities to such a degree that they are not completely free in their choices. (Edgar Cayce)

The decision to be born into this physical world is not an easy one. Our souls left a world of total wisdom, where they exist in a blissful state of freedom, for the physical and mental demands of a physical body. (Dr. Michael Newton)

The rejuvenation of our energy and personal assessment of our soul takes longer for some souls than others, but eventually the soul is motivated to start the process of being born. While our spiritual environment is hard to leave, as souls we also remember the physical pleasures of life on earth with fondness and even nostalgia. We feel the pull of having a physical expression for our identity. (Dr. Michael Newton)

Dr. Michael Newton: Training sessions with our counselors and peer groups have provided a collaborative spiritual effort to prepare us for life in the flesh. Our souls takes action based upon three primary decisions: 

(a)  Am I ready for a new physical life? 

(b)  What specific lessons do I want to undertake to advance my learning and development? 
(c)  Where should I go, and who shall I be in my life for the best opportunity to work on my goals? 

Once the decision has been made, we are directed to the place of life selection. We then consider when and where we want to go on earth before making a decision on who they will be in life. We then entered a heavenly building which resembles a movie theater to allow us to see ourselves in the future, playing different roles in various settings. In this place of life selection, our souls preview the life span of more than one human being within the same time cycle. When we leave this area, most souls are inclined toward one leading candidate presented to us for soul occupation. However, our spiritual advisors give us ample opportunity to reflect upon all we have seen in the future before making a final decision. (Dr. Michael Newton)

After we completed our consultations with guides and peers about the many physical and psychological ramifications of entering the physical realm, the decision to come was made. Afterward, we underwent a significant amount of preparation in a place called the "recognition class". This heavenly class is where prepare ourselves for entry into the physical realm in a manner that is similar to cramming for a final exam. (Dr. Michael Newton)

One of the last requirements before being born is that we went before the "Council of Elders." The Elders reinforce the significance of our goals for life. Once we were ready for entering the physical realm, we were like battle-hardened veterans girding ourselves for combat. This was our last chance for us to enjoy the omniscience of knowing just who we are before we adapt to a physical body. (Dr. Michael Newton)

We are given teachings, training, and anything we need to help us prepare for entering the physical realm. We choose our own pace and need not be hurried through the realms of the next dimensions. It may take what might feel like eons of time before our soul knows what is best for our development while in the flesh. (Betty Bethards)

As part of our training, we are allowed to watch people on earth to see how they handle situations in life. When we are ready, we can choose to be shown our past lives. If we don't believe in reincarnation it may take a long period of "time" before we are able to deal with this. Reviewing our past lives helps us recognize all the strengths we have built and all the karmic debts we have created which must be dissolved. (Betty Bethards)

After integrating the knowledge learned from our past lives, we have reached a state of total objectivity. We feel no remorse or condemnation, but see it as merely a review of why situations occurred and had to be worked through. (Betty Bethards)

When we made the decision to enter the physical realm for soul growth, we first planned with the members of our soul family the karmic considerations because our relationship with them is vital to what we desired to accomplish in earthly life. (Edgar Cayce)

There was a vast amount of planning that was done before we were born. When planning for entering into the physical realm, we do not have physical details before us. Instead we have before us relationships to others, to situations, and to those forces which have prepared us. (Edgar Cayce)

In our decision-making process about the life we currently lead, we dealt largely with two factors: 

(a) We worked with our motivation for entering, then with the potential we had for entering.
(b) The rest was left for the great adventure of life. (Edgar Cayce)

Any habit-forming pleasure can traps them into the cycle of reincarnation over and over, until their appetites are finally put aside while they are in the flesh. This is a lesson for those souls who would like to break the cycle of reincarnation. (Ruth Montgomery)

The nature of our chosen destiny

Information gleaned from many near-death accounts provides us with a wealth of information concerning concepts such as destiny, predestination, free will, missions and how they relate to our lives. Here are some of them:

Our missions mainly have to do with love, but the purpose of life is also to experience joy, gain spiritual understanding and self-awareness, play with the joyful abandon of a child, absorb ourselves in the delight of each moment, let go of obligation and duty, and live for the pure joy of being. (Jan Price)

The purpose for our earth lives includes the opportunity to pay and receive karmic debts from family members. Our plans to connect once again with members of our soul family on earth is because of our love for them. (Edgar Cayce)

All souls have a reason for being who they are here in life. (Dr. PMH Atwater)

Our stations in life are based upon the objectives of completing our missions. We bonded with family and friends to help us in completing them. (Betty Eadie)

We are here to learn. Our mission in life has to do with love. (Kimberly Clark Sharp)

The fact that we are born here shows that we are on the path to developing an individual consciousness. Ultimately, we will find God within ourselves because this is our true identity. (Mellen-Thomas Benedict)

If we were born with our pre-birth knowledge intact, our resulting choices would be predictable and would be a violation of our free will. Free will is a highly important power given to us by God. Almost all of our choices must be made according to it. (Hal)

There is a reason and a purpose for everything that happens in the universe, no matter how bad it appears. That purpose is already known to our Higher Self. (Kevin Williams)
