I'd be thrilled if you would add details without copy/paste or scripture.

Yes. I'd take the good and the bad and do it all again in a heartbeat.

Yes I would. Believe it or not bit I'm really saying this from the bottom of my heart. Even though there may be n number of hurdles to overcome and mountains to climb and there seems no end to the suffering, I firmly believe from my experience there is always light at the end of the tunnel. And i am really relishing each and every moment of my life. (However hard and tough it may hv been)

I would only change a few things. I would have started college earlier, and I would have started to study Witchcraft earlier. And I would have been smarter with my choice of friends and my financial decisions. Other than that, I'd live the life I have. I've gone through child abuse, drug addiction and self-mutilation and I've also survived rape. Some people might think I'm crazy to not want to change all those things, but if all that never happened, I wouldn't be strong like I am today. I'm small and female, but I'm pretty tough because of all the BS I've endured in my life. I'm a firm believer in "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger", and I've experienced this philosophy first hand. Blessed be.

Spooky, as crazy as your proposal; sounds, it is part of my belief system.
I believe we will have the ability to transfer experience in it's entirety to other entities while in the spirit form.
But as we build a larger collective consciousness of like minds and like experience we will eventually return the original source of light, the original circle.
But as we transfer the experience, technically, the entities accepting the fusion would in some way be experiencing our life.
But if it were "god" in the end, how do I determine who is experiencing now. The infinite and eternal "right now"
I always wondered how we would measure growth without a sense of space or time, but I think I got it.
Anyways, if your were to live your life again, as only an observer, not a participator, that would be extremely interesting
Although, my belief may sound odd or crazy, the underlying factor promotes my ability to understand things I do not know, to live happily and generously and be at peace. To create my idea of heaven right now.

What a great question!
There are a whole bunch of things that would be very, very unpleasant to go through again and a whole bunch of stuff that would be simply great to relive, but I've got to say that there really is only one experience in my life that I could never tire of re-living time and time again and that was my born again experience.
But my honest answer to your question is that the things that I have to look forward to will far outweigh any and all things that my life could possibly amount to. Nonetheless, I'm also very excited about the plan that God has for the rest of my life. I intend to live it (so far as I'm able and with His help) according to the prosperous and perfect plan He has expected end for my life.
There is no room for looking back when you have so much to look forward to. God bless you.

No - I would not have married my husband. Every night, I stand outside on my deck, smoking a cigarette, wishing I had I made a better choice and wondering why God didn't smack me over the head with a frying pan back then, so I could have seen the enormous mistake I was making. Looking back, were there signs? Most definately. Did I see them? No. Did I honestly think I was make the RIGHT decision. Sadly, yes.

It would be impossible to live my life over exactly as it's already happened. If I had the chance to do it all again, I could not do it with the knowledge that I couldn't fix the mistakes and poor choices I'd made; that would be torture.

This would be very intense and hard for me. I was in a traumatic and abusive relationship. Of this, I have 2 great children. We all endured incredible pain and mental trauma. If I had to go through it again, I would be somewhat relieved and less stressed...KNOWING... that I was indeed strong enough to leave, start from scratch, and be successful at recovering and healing. Revisiting the moment at which I was again able to "love" was a delight and I would love to revisit that moment. It was a great release.

No way. Now, if I could live it over again and make some changes, absolutely.
Things I wouldn't ever want to relive: labor for two kids, certain bad decisions (like dating friend of an ex), hurtful gossip I enjoyed, my daughter's hospital stay, and basically my whole teen years.

No. I would have made much wiser choices. I would also not have allowed my emotions to compel me to make the choices I did. I would have gone to the university of my choice and into the career of my choosing. I would have been more aggressive in pursuing the romantic relationships I wanted instead of choosing from only those who wanted me. I would have been far more successful and prepared for my financial future using the concept of compound interest as well as other tools. I would have maximized my assets and lived my life far more wisely.
I still would have wanted to have my child - and he probably would have been born to me regardless, because God plans our lives even before we are born. But there is room for "stretch"...in other words "free will". The more we understand God's plan for us and follow after it, the happier we are as individuals.

Without a doubt, yes. It has been incredibly hard, but it has made me who I am today. I love knowing and experiencing the Truth that Jesus brought, and living with my Lord each day. He is more than wonderful, and I wouldn't trade a minute of it for anything.
