Reflections: Why my life matters

We all have infinite memory which will allow us to recapture many wonderful "before the body" experiences.  It is a delightfully delicious experience to sit in a galaxy 5 trillion googols in size and 30 trillion light years away and thereby witnessing that there was no yesterday, no tomorrow and only "Now". For those who are not aware a “googol” , a goolgol is 1 followed by a hundred zeros or 10 to the 100th power.
