Yes it's a bit woo woo question this one. As we are learning about our true nature being life's intelligence in this apparent form. It seems somewhere on the way taking the form, this intelligence suffered severe loss of memory. Only explanation that came up for me about this is that, it gets access to the richness of all experiences that can come up in this complexity of the human body. 

And secondly if life's intelligence is absolute - omnipresent. Do all these experiences gathered from all forms get stored? Like life's intelligence is getting smarter and smarter.

I would like to hear your thoughts on this?
