I think the word “spirit” does suggests an eternal essence but I guess I have never thought that the spirit does not change. It has the power to create and perhaps be changed by what it creates.
A newborn has not yet developed much of a personality but all newborns are different. If they were the "blank slate" psychology talks about, they should all seem the same but it is observable that there are many diferences right from the start.
Dick believed we went back to some place we had orginally come from. Before we came here, we had made something like a contract to have a particular experience here on earth. Some chose effortless lifes and some seek great challenges. Maybe there is a benefit to the spirit by what we have chosen. While I often ponder things like this, I am not firmly attached to any particular belief except that there is something after this life. Years back I read a book called "Life after Death". It was about near death experiences and along the way I have met some people who experienced such a thing. The book pulled me out of a period of severe despair. Not because it caused me to believe, but because it touched what I had always believed.
My suggestion is that those of us who are willing to try, ask the universe (God) to lead us to the next step in proving OJ did not commit these murders. Then sit back and see where we are led.
