Pre-Birth

[eashanm]

What do you think happens before we are born into this world? Is it the same as Death?

Everything before the moment you are conceived is probably exactly like every moment after you die.

if your consciousness ceases to exist then yeah, some people recount having previous lives and reancarnating, my bets on the first option though reancarnanation would be nice tbh to have another shot at this shit

Some people who claimed to have pre birth memories said that it's similar to the Pixar's movie 'Soul'. They found themselves in some sort of school for souls with a mentor assigned to them. And then of course reincarnation followed

nobody knows no one can prove you've only got one life or lived many

We don't know why and how dead atoms in certain configurations can become "alive" and reproduce themselves. A result of this is consciousness - but afaik we still don't know why and how this is actually working.

Anyone? Sources? Links?

 

[eashanm]

Yes, I believe that's a better question to ask

Nothing happens. You don't even exist, yet. How could you exist before a specific egg from your mother, and a specific sperm from your father, amongst millions of different eggs and sperm, happen to get together and begin the process of creating you? That's where your "start" begins, not some rendition of Souls-R-Us, whereby there is some soul that is you, just hanging around, waiting, to "possess" this newly created life begun by the getting together of a certain distinctive egg and a certain distinctive sperm.
