you mean 'any takers?'
good questions.

* I always thought the body experienced things which helped it grow. Now that this body is the same as all the other ones in a single unitary perspective, how can consciousness grow? Growth requires time and we just said time is within the consciousness container, so by definition, consciousness shouldn't be experiencing growth or learning... Why isn't the consciousness container all-knowing in the first place?

I wonder the same too. If our souls are simply extensions of the universal force, like drops of water from the ocean, there really isn't any true differentiation among them, and we should all have the same wisdom and knowledge. I think it's kinda weird that some people say 'we are all the same' at the soul level, but then go on to say that we are in physical form in order for our souls to learn certain lessons or advance on to further levels of consciousness.
I think that rather than 'learning' or 'advancement' of individual souls, the purpose of souls incarnating into physical form is contributive to the whole evolution and progression of humanity, an element of the universe, and dictated by God.
I am tempted to believe that our souls may not actually be individual, but simply parts of a whole force or body of energy, kind of like electricity-- it looks like it is confined to your lamp when it's lit, but after that it goes back to mass undifferentiated form.
Our energy and souls may simply go back to source, like drops of water end up back in clouds, be spread out again into source as generic soul energy, then part of that soul energy is pinched off again whenever someone is born in physical form. Our souls appear to be individual, but are only for a short period of time, and in their true form they are simply in an undifferentiated mass.
But I guess those who travel to the astral realm think we're still separate.
Hm.
