I think that life could possibly be an experience where we are incomplete souls, looking through the eyes of GOD, as he shows us and guides us through every circumstance that we need to experience. I believe He may be showing us exactly what we need to learn in these lifetimes in order to grow and grow so that when we are complete we perhaps are separated from GOD and meet him face to face as he congratulates us, and then become One with Him, allowing us to then look through all eyes of life, experiencing whatever we may want to with the switch of perception.
Just a hypothesis..?
