Well, I for one, can't make such an inference. Motion is an expression,
together with Space, of the Absolute. The Absolute is outside of
space-time, while Motion (purusha, subjectivity) and Space (prakriti,
objectivity) are inside.

I do not believe for a second that such memories exist,
nor are they needed.

The Big Bang theory has recently come under a lot of fire. It has to be
tweeked a lot in order to force it to fit the world we see today (which
is NOT homogenous or linear at all). I prefer S Hawkings' no-boundary
model which is slowly gaining ground in physics.

This sounds like good answers.

Well, I agreed with you right up to the last business of being
"infinitely wiser than when we started" which implies a spiral
rather than a circle. I have a lot of trouble with spirals, which
have to start and end somewhere. Circles are neater because
they have no beginning or end points. A circle takes us right
back to where we started, sort of like assuming our Original Face.
