About this question, I imagine this life is contained within our parents, we inherit fundamental parts of their bodies and spirits, we live to transfer the same, successively, and each fraction of those will have their destinies, their own evolution.

We were alive within our parents before even they were created, so I guess Life before birth is possible.

I've read this topic on here for ages now.  All of these posts really get me thinking a lot.   I have a memory of a past life (whether or not anyone believes that). Well I think I have a memory, anyway. Seems like it.

If you're still looking in on this thread, Donfreeman, do come over to the Past Lives support board should you be curious about exploring the possibility that you do recall a past life.

You'll find a number of people there who can help you investigate whether or not you think your memory is of a past life and will get into what may be interesting discussions.

I know one name you'll certainly see there...yours truly. ;-)

Just an invitation that may change how you view yourself and your life...

Real life is spiritual with no beginning and no end according to the sages.  Many have experienced NDEs and come back to tell us about entering into a new realm before they were suddenly brought back here.  My sense of reason and faith both tell me that life is a continuum of cycles and changes.

It seems that the only "new realm" that those who experience NDE's enter is one that is entirely generated by the brain in extremis. One can explain NDE experiences such as disembodied senses and lights as lack of oxygen and stimulus of the angular gyrus, which has recently been demonstrated experimentally

And while reason can verify that life is a continuum of changes - infancy, childhood, adolescent's, adulthood, etc -  and, in some sense, cycles (each generation following similar patterns as the one before), 'faith' is merely the transparent admission to wishful thinking. Faith is capable of believing anything, that pigs fly, that grass is red, etc.

You hear a lot of people say that they chose to be born into the life they are living. I think this idea of life before birth is really catching on in New Age movements.
