Pre-existence

Pre-existence refers to the belief that the soul or spirit exists before being born into a physical body. In this view, individuals have a life or consciousness in a spiritual realm prior to their earthly experience. This concept is found in various religious and philosophical traditions, suggesting that our identities and experiences are shaped by this prior existence. It raises questions about the nature of life, purpose, and the afterlife, proposing that our earthly journey is part of a larger narrative that includes our existence before birth and possibly after death.
