Jeanie, I like your wonderings very much.

I too am not going to attempt an answer, but here are some of my wonderings. What if our lives here on the earth were a sort of learning experience - going to school if you like. We are here to learn how to cope with some sort of suffering to help us to grow spiritually. Our Souls live forever and our bodies are the shells we used to live our lives in this earthly realm. Our souls are pure love and part of The Creator. We judge ourselves when we die by the way we have treated our fellow humans, if we learn our lesson we progress to a higher realm, if not then we have to come back at a later stage and have another go.
I believe that the soul rests in your conscience. those that have one are perhaps more spiritual than those without.
I think that we should love more, that is, each other, the planet and the Creator.

love
