Spirit is eternal.

Your spirit existed before human life and will exist after human life. The spirit has an identity, but that identity evolves as well. You are the same person you were at the moment of birth, but you appear differently. You have different understandings. You are a very different force of energy than you were at birth, but you are the same. The energy you bring to human life is the same energy in a different manifestation that was with you in prior lives, human or otherwise.

Human life is not the only form of existence that is aware of God. It is the only form that you are aware of, but there are other knowing life-forms, other kinds of energy that in their own existence feel a connection to their Source just as at times you feel a connection to your Source. The energy of spirit, however it is manifested, emanates from the same Source. It is part of what has always been God. It is merely a portion of God that is sent forth and evolves and changes and becomes, and in the becoming, returns to the Spirit Center only to be reenergized, in a way being recreated. It's not a new creation but it is a transformation.

Your soul has existed always. There was no beginning, for the energy that is your spirit belongs to the energy that has been in the eternal God. This also means you have no end point where you cease to exist. There will be countless times when your spirit energy finds opportunities to be transformed, when your spirit entity gains in its capacity to become only love. It is at that point in its growth when it is entirely love that it is entirely incorporated into the totality of love that is God, and it is from that totality of all that become love that new transformations of spirit evolve and expand and become, and the cycle is repeated.
