Why Are We Here?

According to the famous Mark Twain quote above the two most important days in our life are the day we are born and the day we find out why. I read a short article yesterday about early childhood amnesia and how for a long time doctors theorized that baby’s could not create memories, which explained the phenomenon that we have no recollections of being born or the first three years or so years of our lives.

Scientists have since discovered that babies do indeed create memories and that those records are tucked away with all our other memories in our brains, but that we just cannot for some reason as yet unknown recall those early memories.

In college some fifty years ago in my second semester of Psychology 101 the professor recounted an episode where a psychologist regressed a patient through hypnosis and took them back to their childhood. As the patient recounted a walk to school one morning the doctor realized the memories were so vivid that the person was actually re-experiencing the events in real time and could actually count the windows in a building as they passed it on the way to school.

I believe that these lives, these adventures in time and space, were planned by us and our higher self at some point before they ever began. And that we had input into all the details right down to who our parents would be and the picking of all the players in our play from the opening curtain till the final scene.

Someone has even speculated that the reason babies cannot talk right away is that they having so close proximity to the beginnings of each adventure they might spoil the true purpose behind each new mission by giving away the plot of the story. Be that as it may or may not be, those early memories are kept under lock and key so that we must figure out from clues along the way not just why we were born and why we are here but Who and Whose we are.

I recently added a few words to the end of my daily mantra which was: “Come dance with me, come sing with me, come walk with me, come talk with me, come ride with me, come fly with me. Come.” The phrase that I added after the final “Come” and before the final period is: “Follow me like you used to do, I can still show you who (and whose) you are.” It is the final line in the chorus of the Dionne Warwick’s song, No Night So Long. A link to my sing-along version of the song is below.
