I like your view on this. Even if I don't believe in life after death this is certainly a possibility. From my perspective the idea of an afterlife is simply derivated from the fear every living things has: to lose life, forever. In a sense I only see the afterlife as a reassuring thought about our own life, even if it is a simple fabrication of your conscious / subconscious process.
What really doesnt seems to hold the road in your view is this: We all know how babies are created. So this beg the question: Who is choosing which "soul" go into each new babies? I mean it is the parents who decide to give life, or is it your "soul" that decide to take place in that new bodies? Personally I don't see how life can be transcended into a new body after death, I don't see any logic there appart from the fear of living creature to lose life and "invent" a way they will not die. To me each new creature born is a new instance of life form, not some kind of an ancient "soul" reincarning into it.
There's also the fact of the growing population, at the early stage of humanity there were not billions of human on earth, are you assuming that at one point there were no "soul", but somehow someday a soul decided to exist, and every year new souls are born? it just doesnt makes sense to me, you says time doesn't exist in the after-life plan, so how can souls existence have a obvious start?
That's just my thought on this but this is a good post to fuel that never-endind debate

I find it interesting that so many believe a Soul has to individually learn lessons?
Just because humans can't seem to learn from other's, why can't Souls learn as One?
As to the Universe being perfect for Life, what makes you think the Universe itself isn't Life?
As for the purpose of lifeforms on this planet, what makes you think they weren't created to use as "avatars" for the Souls to play out scenarios in to learn about such things as Chaos?
One more thing, you didn't address how a Soul is born and how often a Soul is born?
Lastly, what makes you think science got it right about the so called bubble We live in? What if that bubble is an illusion and the Universe is actually infinite in all directions, We just can't see past that bubble?

Well like I said before the the soul hasn't started or ended, because time is only a law of this world.
It;s a hard thought to grasp, and the reason i think we're a bubble is because the "big bang".
Everything came out of a circular point of density that expanded. And if the universe we're infinite then
it would be impossible to expand, which science proves that it is.
Oh and I love your thought on the universe being a life form. It's really interesting and i have never really thought about it before. Maybe like our minds, the universe is an expanding consciousnesses as well.
Why can't souls learn as one? That could be true, but we already can prove that love is a natural law that keeps
us wanting to be together. Thus we learn from each other and the oneness that we all hold.
