Were there no such system in place an immense spiritual stagnation would occur as any thoughts, words or deeds enacted would constantly and consistently be dictated by the full and complete knowledge that the series of interactions one is involved in are all occurring in, of, by, and due to the One Infinite Creator being present within all things.
While this notion is not at all undesirable, it would produce an impediment in anybody's path as the choices made would not be of an entirely willing nature; rather, it would be done because no other option would be available as no entity fully aware of its true nature would dare incite disharmony. There would be a radical diminishing of any lessons any would hope to further refine. What can possibly be gained when there is only one option available?
However, when one is presented with a multitude of choices, unbeknownst what the "right" choice is or that there even is an absolute "right" choice, it facilitates the opportunity for the entity to go forward with what resonates most genuinely at the core of their being, sans any particular prior knowledge which would interfere or influence said decision/action. The choice one makes while being subjected to the notion that this world is all that there is, with no immediate proof stating otherwise and an illusion which incorporates as one of its primary distortions the notion of separation between the self and otherself, and nothing but the person's own biases acquired in this lifetime to help mold their action is a completely genuine one.
Thus it must be that fledgling souls must submit this portion of its existence to metaphysical amnesia, quarantined, confused, lost, flung into a strange land with no apparent purpose or any specific destination to head towards, so that it can be observed and proven with voluntary absolution that it wishes to make the choice it is meant to make in this lifetime before it may continue on its path to reintegration into the Godhead which it stems from. The manner of seeking and movement towards the One is entirely up to the soul (again, thanks to the veil of forgetfulness which sustains the existence of Free Will), it may be a vertiginous and rigid voyage or a tranquil one, but regardless of the path chosen each entity will undergo the experiences it requires and desires (though it does not know that it truly wishes for these experiences, even the seemingly nightmareish ones) until it has reached a point of understanding of the hidden lessons the Universe attempts to show it based on how the soul has shaped itself at any moment and is able to fully realize its divine essence, bask in it, radiate it, and eventually comprehend totally that the soul IS divine essence.
What a divine paradox it is, that in order for us to truly remember, we must first forget everything and start over. And yet, it is the modus operandi of our world, and once one has penetrated the veil all things become crystal clear.
You sound like you are a latter day saint ?
With any game there are rules to achieve a win, such is life.
Life is the biggest game we will ever play as the stakes are eternal.
No entity or spiritual being before they came to this earth in the flesh had ever played this game and although they agreed that they wanted to
play the game and had some concept of what the rules would be, they had never actually experienced it first hand. And so coming to earth to play this game for an eternal prize was how they would achieve this. The game was about having enough faith in God to choose good over evil. So what is FAITH Alma 32:21 Now concerning faith, faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things, therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen which are true. So its not to have a perfect knowledge of something but if you believe it to be true then you will exercise your faith and do it, and this was the whole reason that we would be caused not to remember our pre mortal life. We could exercise our faith and play the game, according to the rules we were given in the rule book being the scriptures and the directions of our coach which was and is Jesus Christ. If we had a perfect knowledge of everything we could not exercise our faith and we could not learn and grow as individuals.

Quote:Questioner: Can you expand on the concept which is that it is necessary for an entity, during incarnation in the physical as we know it, to become polarized or interact properly with other entities and why this isn’t possible in between incarnations when the entity is aware of what he wants to do. Why must he come into an incarnation and lose conscious memory of what he wants to do and then act in a way in which he hopes to act?
Ra: I am Ra. Let us give the example of the man who sees all the poker hands. He then knows the game. It is but child’s play to gamble, for it is no risk. The other hands are known. The possibilities are known and the hand will be played correctly but with no interest.
In time/space and in the true color green density, the hands of all are open to the eye. The thoughts, the feelings, the troubles, all these may be seen. There is no deception and no desire for deception. Thus much may be accomplished in harmony but the mind/body/spirit gains little polarity from this interaction.
Let us re-examine this metaphor and multiply it into the longest poker game you can imagine, a lifetime. The cards are love, dislike, limitation, unhappiness, pleasure, etc. They are dealt and re-dealt and re-dealt continuously. You may, during this incarnation begin—and we stress begin—to know your own cards. You may begin to find the love within you. You may begin to balance your pleasure, your limitations, etc. However, your only indication of other-selves’ cards is to look into the eyes.
You cannot remember your hand, their hands, perhaps even the rules of this game. This game can only be won by those who lose their cards in the melting influence of love, can only be won by those who lay their pleasures, their limitations, their all upon the table face up and say inwardly: “All, all of you players, each other-self, whatever your hand, I love you.” This is the game: to know, to accept, to forgive, to balance, and to open the self in love. This cannot be done without the forgetting, for it would carry no weight in the life of the mind/body/spirit being-ness totality.
