Why would you assume that the conscious mind is housed in our puny brains?
Also, why would you assume that the soul is outside the realm of space and time? If it was outside the realm of time, it would mean that it is in eternal time. If it was in eternal time, it would mean that our soul is God. If our soul is God, then it wouldn't need to experience anything on earth because it already experienced everything in all of time.
It's hard for me to explain, but I believe that our soul/spirit *IS* our consciousness. Our bodies and brains are just projections of that consciousness. Even though undreneath the illusion we are actually above space and time, within the illusion of existance as seperate souls we are actually choosing to participate in space/time and choosing to project our physical bodies into the physical world.
In other words, our souls are pieces of fragmented God choosing to create space and time (albeit unconciously) and projecting our physical bodies on earth as a means to learn the lessons and experience the experiences we are choosing.
I do not disagree with your statement that we attract everything. I've been of that school of thought myself for a long time. I'm just adding my point of view on a few things you mentioned.
The only thing I don't quite agree on with you is that the girl experienced the rape in your example for the purpose of feeling what it would feel like to experience that process, kind of like choosing a new candybar you haven't tried yet just for fun. I think it's more probable that the girl attracted the event unconsiously.
