Veil of Forgetfullness…

[Anonymous User]

Why did we go through the Veil of "Forgetfullness" if we are just going to "remember" exactly everything that happened right before we went through it? 

 

Thanks so much!!

I don't really consider myself qualifed to answer doctrinal questions, but here is a link that might help you.  It starts out like this:

One of the clearest—yet at times most perplexing—themes in the history of God’s dealings with mankind involves his decision to draw a veil between our world of mortality and his world of the eternities. Not only does the veil keep us from remembering our past, which we call the preexistence, but also it keeps us from seeing many things that are going on at the present—for God, his angels, and their activities are hidden from our sight.
