rethinking time

We assume that we are separate from other humans, and that our lifetime begins at inception. 

What if your existence began long before you were born, as an infinite spirit occupying humans, plants, animals (or inanimate things?) and acquiring subconscious wisdom and innate qualities? Where do intuition and primeval drives come from? And what if your lover or best friend were literally the other half of a complete spirit? And why was that spirit complete? Could it love? How is that completeness manifested in the body and in the mind?

These are conjectures: yes, they are fantastical and not scientific. But truth borders the edge of science, as what truly matters is hidden from view.
