I remember once talking to a mother who had taken her child to a spiritual healer. The child had a condition that was basically going to hamper her for her entire life, I don't remember exactly what. But when the healer said the child had chosen it, the mother was incredibly offended. I knew nerves were too frayed at the time to challenge her, but I remember thinking at the time, "the child you know is not exactly the same personality as the child's higher self who did the choosing!" The point is not to blame the child and say she chose it; the point is to respect the mystery that incarnation and our status as co-Creators represents.
It's the same here. The "me" I'm channeling in this life is unique, irreplaceable, and infinitely valuable. But it's only a part, or a projection, of a bigger "me" that is transiting from unity to separation to unity. That bigger "me" is probably pretty interested in social memory. To expect my desires as an incarnate entity to align with that greater self is to probably expect more from the vehicle of my ego than its designed to provide.
Just my 2 cents--and don't get me wrong, I still have thoughts like this! But I try not to dwell on them because every time I spend effort on them, I end up at the same place.
