You always amaze me FF. You say you have never had a NDE but for sure you have wonderful spiritual insights about NDE's. I always try to think something clever to say about what you have to say but you say things so clearly, I don't know what I could add. I always struggle with words. So many in CureZone are friends of words. I fight with every word to make it say what I want it to say. You should be an author. I think you are exactly right. We choose the spirits we come into contact with before we were ever born. We even choose our advesaries. We choose our battles so to say. We can learn the lessons of love from our friends from people who love us but some lessons we need to learn from our mistakes from overcoming the prejudices our physical fathers and mothers give us. In the end, some of the greatest lessons come from learning to love those who spitefully hates us...and loving them anyway... This is the lesson I am still working on... I am still here so I am still learning... That and learning about words...
