Why do we Seek to Come Back ?
Hello
Why do we seek to come back if we know that life might be one of hardship and in the end death again ?
If the Soul truly holds memory as many of us feel it does then WHY does it choose to come back over and over again. Many of us have hard lives faced with physical and mental at times hardships. We too at times have a life of great loss around us. Personal struggles or living condition struggles. YET our Soul comes forth again and again.
One can say its on that path of learning to become enlightened but what does that path truly mean ? Enlightened to what ? To be what ?

I'm working on that myself - and it is alot of
deliberate, conscious, consistent work, focus and dedicated effort.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

Why does a woman continue having children when at the same time she says that giving birth was painful ?.

Oddly enough, that pain of childbirth seems to fade very quickly for most women,Robbie.. we can remember all the gory details, but not the actual pain. I had a serious accident with fire when I was 15. To this day, if I am splashed with hot grease, all that agony comes flooding back.
So perhaps reincarnation is similar; when we get to the other side, the pain is not as horrid or as real.
Personally for me, it would be okay if I didn't come back. However I do not like the idea of unfinished business and would rather get it all sorted out and in balance.

Yes you don't have to come back to do that, you can finish it all in this life by just Realizing your true SELF, the jig will then be up, the ego will be caught out. I hope to see you there, I'll be waiting and I'll give you a big Cosmic hug.
