I have often wondered whether our consciousness arises because of our body or something that is not material, such as an energy or information. If it is an information, then we were born because all the parameters were the right ones. Our unique consciousness would then be like a thought. If, for example, there is a new habitable planet somewhere and the first intelligent life is created, the wheel is also invented again because all parameters have been tuned, at the time and an intelligent creature would get the thought of building a wheel.
Likewise, it could be with our consciousness, when a new planet emerges, on which we could live, and also all other parameters agree, our consciousness is turned on again and we are born again. This is just pure theory but I wanted to give a thought-provoking:-) My theory does not exclude religion, spiritual creed and any faith. It's just an observation of how everything behaves in the universe. Have a nice day.
