I think I may have been misleading in the 'ticket' and 'guys upstairs' pulling the strings. To be more clear, it is your higher self.
A friend once made the following suggestion to me.
"You are not a human being having a spiritual experience, you are a spiritual being having a human experience."
To add further to the idea of being connected to a higher self that exists in a timeless dimension, the revelation to those of us who believe in past lives, is this - if there is no linear timeflow in the spiritual dimension then the term 'past' lives is no longer relevant. It should rather be 'simultaneous' lives. The revelation is that one's higher self or soul may participate in multiple lives (scattered over various human ages) simultaneously.
Hell, just talking about it makes things more confusing, I associate the spiritual evolution as a linear path, for without time/friction/opposition there cannot be any growth. 'Time in some form must exist.' This single line complicates and contradicts my entire position. Crap!
