Why does consciousness remember nothing before incarnation?
In the Aeon of the Limit, forgetting is not considered a flaw in the system. It creates a situation in which a decision cannot be fully calculated in advance.
If consciousness entered life with complete memory of the reason behind every event and the future consequences of every action, many decisions would stop being genuine. Goodness could become an exchange for a known reward, while a difficult experience could become a problem with an answer already provided.
The Veil therefore limits access to the wider context. A person receives no complete map, but instead receives form, circumstances, desires, relationships, and uncertainty. They have to respond from within the present state.
Choice has its highest value only when the reward is unknown.
This does not mean that forgetting itself is sacred or that a person should reject knowledge. Within human life, they can learn, investigate, and remember. What is limited is not the ability to understand the world, but access to a final answer before the choice is made.
