I always wondered about this idea. It made me wonder 
how the immortal part, as a spark(?) of the Infinite, 
came to "start over again", as in needing the 
opportunities to "grow in wisdom". Like if we are 
immortal sparks of the Infinite, how did we arrive at 
NOT being able to partake of the wisdom that is within 
us by birthright? The Infinite was expressing itself in 
matter and the denser the matter became, the further 
consciousness separated from the Source of wisdom. I 
know the fundamental Theosophical dogma answer for it 
but I was looking for a more intuitive one. Is it all 
within and we are too encrusted to realize? Is it part 
of the plan (is there a plan?) of evolution to relearn 
wisdom through many lifetimes or can we just snap out of 
it at some point? Does the Infinite express itself in 
the unrolling of evolution and the slower we progress 
the more varied are the patterns are to be seen and 
appreciated? I think of a kaleidoscope and how when you 
turn it really slow it offers more beautiful and varied 
joys of viewing.

Any thoughts?

Just wondering. :)
