While I accept that we as Soul are Immortal, experiencing the necessary lessons via reincarnation which makes us basically millions of years old, what would be the sense in one single turn having to deal with the passing of ones loved ones as their bodies
fail time after time.
If it was me, I would have invested in corn futures a long time ago...
Your story is very close to the movie about a College professor moving and his fellow professors visit him for a farewell party and during that party he reveals that part of his never ending journey like yours has to do with him being Jesus. Which of course blows away a few of the party goers as it completely crushes their faith. It's bit slow but if you can stick through it, has a great ending.
