As Above So Below
When researching theories about the soul’s departure after death it appears that in many religious beliefs or traditions there contains a reference, sometimes very subtle and often gone unnoticed by many, a reference of the soul, after leaving the body losing memory, memory that is washing away and forgotten…
For example:
The vision of St. Macarius of Alexandria, describes how the soul after spending three days becoming freed from the body and after ascending to heaven for the adoration of God, is then commanded to wander for six days in paradise where, 'contemplating it all, it becomes transformed and forgets all the sorrows it had while in the body.
Venerable Macarius of Alexandria
Ancient Greeks believed that souls were made to drink from the river of Lethe so they would not remember their past lives "and those who were not saved by wisdom drank more than was necessary; and each one as he drank forgot all things."
Lethe
Does the soul forget past memories, all that it has experienced and/or suffered in past lives?...
