I have upvoted your answer to partially compensate for the inadvertent theft. As it turns out, we both borrowed our answers from the same source material. I was specifically thinking about Card's Children of the Mind as I wrote my answer. I have added your recommended fanfic to my reading list. Thanks! I particularly like your inference that the brain limits the soul down to a level where it needs memory to function. Clearly justifies our lack of pre-life memories. Great stuff! | |
