Thought In Shower: Can't remember ever giving consent to be born = Existence here now against my will..?
Just contemplating in the shower (and sharing here) the fact that I cannot remarkably ("rememberingly") recall 'giving my own consent' to be born into this existence. Therefore, am I technically 'here' against my will?

I can easily assume that I gave some form of consent before being born, before existing in 'this realm' or 'this plane' or 'this experience', whatever you desire to call it - but then, if I cannot remember it, or have no evidence of it, that suggests that it did not occur (the act of my giving the consent); because I cannot recall, AT ALL.

This then, implies that I exist here without consent and against my will. At least, as far as my will can be detected within this existence. That presents an issue as well, that if there is no detection of an existence prior or in parallel to this one, then how can my consent be concreted? If my consent to exist now cannot be solidified, then is my existence here not false and/or forced, techncially against my own will?

Thank you, but then - who do I speak to, to have this corrected and/or be compensated for the wrongdoing?

Ask your astral self, or whenever you cease existing head to the main office and get some answers.

Isn't that 'wrong' somehow? I mean, it just occurred to me that if it is occurring beyond your own will/consent; that implies we are literally, 'being wronged' every moment of existence lol

yeah, I'd like to not exist but for some reason I do
In life, we don't always get what we want, and there will be times that we are wronged with no way to have our grievances redressed. Perhaps we are being wronged by existing involuntarily, but we make do with the cards we're dealt in life.

Sue your mom and dad.

Oh I have a little list here, of things that I would like to 'bring up' with whatever Management is in charge, after this existence is over, don't you worry...

Don't know about you OP but my shower thoughts are more profound things like how to vary the pattern I wash myself in, or whether or not I should sing Africa by Toto

Whats your point OP?
Just contemplations... Wondering if anyone has any evidence of Consent of their own, or what (if anything) it potentially implies, if no Consent can be found.

I just think, 'playing with marbles in the mind', off and on at times. Ruminations that occur every week or two, within myself. I just decided to share one here, to see what others may think of the concept....
