There are ample Near-Death Accounts where the individuals described exiting their body (OBE) right
before an accident which badly damaged their body. It seems there is an aspect of ourselves (soul/spirit/eternal consciousness) which has advanced perception of what will unfold in this physical lifetime. Have you ever heard accounts of individuals who seemed to sense their own passing/death in advance, or individuals who claimed to have an intuitively known exactly whom they're going to meet and marry - and then they actually find that individual and feel it right away? If there is truth to the notion that some aspects of our life experiences are actually planned out in advance of incarnating here - then this would explain how people can demonstrate a subtle sense of knowing how their life will unfold.

You read 'The Holographic Universe', right? Do you remember the section that discussed memory, and how there were those lab experiments done on rats, in which sections of their brain were surgically removed to try and pinpoint exactly which region was responsible for storing their memory of how to complete a maze. Well they found that no matter which section of the brain was removed, the rats never forgot how to run the maze. This meant that the memory was not physically stored in any particular section or location of the brain - and lent credence to the notion of memory being stored holographically - meaning each and any 'part' of the whole contains all the properties/qualities of the whole. It may be that memory is somehow encoded in the energy force that is our consciousness/spirit/soul itself. Although we are not in a position to understand the nature and properties of consciousness energy/spirit/soul. It's something which transcends our ability to study and comprehend from this Earthly vantage point.
