Before you were born, back when your memory goes black, did you plan your life? Every event, whether it was good or bad, can you conceive of its carefully orchestrated web.
I’ve had a few bad things happen in my lfe, sure, but they have made me into the person i like today. i wonder if i ever had the opportunity to design my experience, and then, by being born, erase the design stage, like an amnesiac.
Anyone see the movie, Vanilla Sky? Its all about this sort of thing.
Absolutely. I was hovering in the ninth circle as a disembodied spirit when I realized that I needed to enter into a human body on earth so that I could continue my development toward becoming closer to God. If I didn’t, I would become a cow or an otter, and that ain’t cool.
[yawn]
I disagree, Zappanian one. Or Zappanian one’s chick, whichever you are.
Otters are cool.
I like manatees.
Wordsworthian romanticismI How could anyone existing in a precognitive domain make cognitive decisions?
I don’t know about planning but, I do know that from my earliest memories this guy was always in my dreams, shaved bearded, happy angry etc. I knew him well… then I stopped having him in my dreams, about 6 months later I met him on a blind date, 25 years later we are still together and we will be together until we die. My husband always was partial to petite redheads before we met, his friends and sibs told me that. They would look at me and say something like " well that explains his obsession". I got dreams and he got an obsession.
If planning is what it took, then someone planned something there somehow before we were born.
I believe in everything. I like possiblities more than probabilities, and i lean to the irrational side of things, over reason, whenever i find it benificial.
There is no dog runningaround saying to itself “I m gearge’ " Iam frankie” “I am sally”. That idea nevre occurs to it.
But to some animal the idea " Hey I’am nano-bug" occurs. That is to say nano-bug was not born it is only an experience that that anim,al is having.
i used to frequently envision myself as an alien or a diety.
this world is like a video game… like a test to see how well i could do.
half the fun and realism of the test is that i forget everything at the beginning and start from scratch at birth.
one day i think, will i ever disconnect from this reality and emerge as some freakish lizard on a slimey and cold alien planet?
or when i die will i regain my infinite knowledge and once again become bored with existence?
when i delve deeper into the rationality of this possibility, i conclude that i would indeed plan certain events, but not completely, for that would ruin its point.
perhaps we are all dietys and when something goes wrong in life, we regain our memorys, fix the problem, and then re erase our memorys and continue life as if we were none the wiser.
But then I wake up from my day dream, knowing that such a theory, if existent, can only be proved in death;I continue my day with a limp and a grimace.
Of course I planned my life:
I was sitting on my throne in hell thinking, “Hmm I think I’ll create a human being who appears perfect to the world so that his mind will be able to deceive and conquer the masses of the world and create a new reign of strength over them with an iron fist!!!”
:-"
When i tripped down the stairs yesterday, I planned that, thinking, Ha, that will teach that bastard.
My god, you never stop with the bullshit. I can’t tell if you really are this delusional and emotionally driven, or if you want people to believe you. I can’t believe anyone could seriously believe this story…
No. All the evidence tells me that I was merely thrown into existence. From where? That’s a pointless question.
All that matters is what is “now”, not what I can imagine once possibly was.
I totally planned everything.
I think we need to understand the paranormal first before we can take control of a " planed life " by us .
can a spirit entity have this ability ? not now but I’m thinking in the future yes
But “spirit beings” are not bound by space and time. 
I don’t think unborn babies plan very much.
If you cant remember anything, who says you weren’t a computer programmer before your next life came into existence. If you cant remember why do you think eveything began in 1979 or whatever.
you were not born. A animal we call human was born. That animals brain, mind and/or self was constructed by it’s environment. You were not born you were thought up. A human animal is experiencing you. You never existed before and you will never exist again.
the possibility is there that I will exist millions of times more. If you’re reasonable probabilty guy, you’re right 9 times out of 10, for a great average, but the one time you’re wrong . . .well, its what you dont know that matters most.
