Why do so many 'forget' where we come from?

The journey. How fortunate you are to have found what you have been looking for. Through so many lifetimes and millennia souls incarnate and yet do not find that very thing we were looking for. I am glad you are finding that.

For me, the thing I look for is truth. The truth of who I am. Source and light. The spark that forgot its origin. The spark that forgot that all is spark. That all is source. That all is perfect in its seed of being. This is just my belief. I use the word "spark" because I am lacking for a better word.

How sad it took me this long....I don't understand why it has takes me all my human life to find what I was looking for:(

Tavah, that is the whole point of living your life. You are gleaning things from each religion you immerse yourself in and then move on to the next stage. I don't see random actions, I see a organized plan unfolding in your life. You may not understand now, but you will put all the pieces together soon.

If you would have detoured around the Christianity, Judaism and Messianic and had gone straight to the Native Americans you would not have been able to grasp the meanings and wisdoms you are now enjoying. Do you see that?

There is an old saying that comes to mind: It's not the destination, it's the journey.

I remember the years I struggled to remember. It was gut wrenching. That frustration, that anger at knowing there was something I knew that I needed to remember. I could not put the pieces together. None of this made sense. I was angry at God for putting me here without a plan (or so I thought), putting all of us here, not knowing why we were here. At the time it seemed so random and full of confusion with all of us blindly living our lives in a vegetative state!

But it had the depth of emotion to help me change into the person I am today.

"It is part of our agreement to forget our origins before we are born." I've heard this before. It always makes me ask then, are we cheating or going against our agreement by discovering this and other things? Or is it part of the process, are we supposed to make these discoveries or enlightenment?
Living the "true human experience". Is it knowing or not knowing?

Please do not feel ashamed for anything. I personally did not think you were complaining at all. Thats totally not how i read your words. I thought you were talking about your journey in a positive way.
