Where Did We Come From?

I have always struggled with the concept that our spirit, our energy or intelligence came into existence at birth. Frankly, I have never believed it. That prior to our birth, our spirit, our energy, our real selves were no where, and then all of a sudden at conception, or at birth, viola!, there we are… human spirit, energy, life force. That has never worked for me. The First Law of Thermodynamics, sometimes known as the law of conservation of energy, works for me. This law states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed; it can only be converted from one form to another.

 Spirit is energy. And if spirit is energy, and energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but can only change from one form to another, then it makes perfect sense that our spirits, or our energy, came from somewhere prior to our conception or birth. 

I have my own ideas about this, but I want to share what Mr. Jim Rohn teaches about the topic. As I read his teachings, it resonated so deeply within me, I have no doubt that he has stumbled onto truth on this matter.

Below is an excerpt from Mr. Rohn’s classic book, The Season’s of Life. Read more
