Experience is the best teacher

I just finished reading Dr. Steven Hairfield's book, "Interview With An American Monk". Written in 2004, it is now out of print. I found a copy anyway!

There was one quote that stood out for me. It was, "The soul reason for the creation of the body was to obtain experience, so it would have knowledge, wisdom not theory." I have often thought of my life as a smorgasbord of experiences to be shared with others. 

Another thing in the book that I agreed with is that we never die.We live many lives in different bodies. That's kind of cool when you think about it. I'm not sure I would want to start over as a baby though! Apparently that's the only way that would work.
