Hi Tom,
When a new physical life is created (e.g. a newly conceived human being) is there always an Individual Intellect available for this life or are new Individual Intellects created as needed?
A.J.
Somebody (an individual intellect) needs to make conscious decision to accept "newly conceived" life in a new physical body. The entire process MUST be fully conscious, otherwise the concept of the evolution of Individual Intellect doesn't make sense.
After we make such a choice - our "memory" is erased, so we can "test" our understanding of the Universe as a fully autonomous human being.

If there are a finite number of Individual Intellects available does this mean that the number of possible physical creations alive at any one time is also limited?
A.J.
We DO NOT KNOW if the number of individual intellects in the Universe is limited or not. The Universe is a BIG place and it is growing. You need to ask The Designer about it yourself. If knowing the answer is useful for you - you WILL get it, or you will be lead to things that you need to learn FIRST.
If new Individual Intellects are created as needed then surely there is a chance that you or I might not yet exist or will never exist?
A.J.
I do not understand you. You have made a CHOICE to exist - and you DO exist. My understanding is that only people who CHOOSE to exist DO exist.
From the book "Freedom of Choice" I understand that it is not possible for an Individual Intellect to be destroyed.
A.J.
Individual intellects CAN destroy themselves by CHOOSING to do so. We have Freedom of Choice...
Will we all, one day when we have learnt all there is to learn, "merge"; with the Great Intellect and become a part of it?
A.J.
We have been given autonomy and the Free Will for a REASON. Personally I don't see any purpose in "merging". Would you like your children to "merge" with you when they grow up? I would rather LEARN from The Great Intellect how the Universe is made - perhaps to help to make a better one when and if it becomes possible...
