When Does the Soul Enter the Body

If we really knew when the soul enters the body
It would really be something
And which body?
Today’s body or the body we have forgotten?
Our last incarnation body?

We cannot have it both ways
Thinking the soul lives on after death
But does not live on prior to birth
Which is why I am open in my thinking
About abortion

Chickens can run around the yard
For several minutes with their heads cut off
And people with organ implants know…
muscles and organs have memories
Why else do they take on the personality of the person who has passed?

It is up to us to shed our ego prior to rebirth
But when does rebirth really take place?
And if so, when?
People who have NDE's say they get to choose their parents
Their soul gets to decide two to three days after a baby is born.
When does the soul merge? This is the real question is it not?

L Milton Hankins July 13, 2022 at 5:26 PM Hmmm...I could drive myself crazy thinking about all of this! I believe an infant becomes a human being (a soul) at birth. Any further, I dare not speculate! Caren Krutsinger July 14, 2022 at 7:31 AM I have read books where the soul lingers around several pregnant women, deciding, and they are given three or four days to enter that body.
