Do spirits retain a memory of their lives on earth?
Ans: People who pass from this earthly stage seem to retain their most recent physical life experience, along with the same personality and sensibilities they they possessed in the physical form. After a spirit sheds it etheric body at death, it resides in an astral form. In this spirit form, a spirit will realise that it is a spiritual being composed of the sum of all of its lifetime experiences. It remembers the recent lifetime as one of many. Also be aware that earth is not the only place where one can experience life, and that life is not always expressed in human form.
