So are we all going to merge and become the same thing? Or will I still be a different individual from you?
We are static dancing on the frequency of the universe. Currently, we are set to different channels, when our bodies can no longer maintain the channel we are set to our static joins the hum of the universe. When it's time for your static to have it's own channel again, it'll be reborn into a new vessel.
Another way we imagine it is like a huge battery. Right now we have been given separate energy to experience this reality from our own perspectives. When the energy can no longer sustain this perspective it'll return for another charge.
We are already part of the whole as well as unique individuals.
Do you believe in past lives? How do you know your past life?
The University of Virginia studies children all over the world who report memories of past lives. For us, this is evidence enough to support that life never ends. "Death" is only real in that living matter breaks down over time until it can no longer sustain life. But that doesn't explain where the "life" "goes".
Like a dimension of reality, "consciousness", "life", "spirit", whatever you want to call it, is all around us and within us always.
We cannot distinguish any memories from a previous life, but that isn't evidence we haven't had one either. Through this one's out of body experiences we would suggest that this is the first time the energy inside of us has had any experience.
