We have a lot of new members and I am on an opinion gathering mission.
I'll start......I believe the soul leaves the body to return to another one and work on another issue it needs to get right before finally ascending to a collection of souls that have reached their highest evolution.
What do you believe? Do you believe in a "Heaven" or any equivalent?
Yes, I'm pretty much the same.
I believe our souls move on. I think we find all the answers we need to know and we see mistakes we made and know how we could have done better. Then, as you say, we come back and work on another issue. I think people who are calm, sweet-natured, kindly are the old souls who have lived before and learnt many lessons. I think people who are like silly children throughout their lives are the new souls.
Its almost like human life. I think a new soul is like a baby. You spend that life learning about the ways of the world but are cushioned and protected. Those people are the ones who sail comfortably through life. Your next life is like a childs life. You make mistakes but you learn from them and life is not too harsh although less easy than it was. A life spent as a teenager and then as an adult are each lives where you learn and grow, you mature but you take some very hard knocks. Then as our soul moves towards the end of its spiritual life we are given the hardest lives of all. Who knows - maybe it's then that we come back as poor African farmers who are starving and who have to decide whether to sell their children into slavery or prostitution in order to feed the babies and stop the whole family from just starving to death.
I don't think there is a heaven or hell as such, just a place where we all go to. I think we have to learn about our mistakes and how to do better. Everyone will learn, although it may take some souls a long time to be rehabilitated before being returned.
However, what then? Once we have all learned our lessons and moved on to a higher plane? What happens to all our souls then? Is the Big Boom recreated? Do we start all over again? Is it just a game? Did the original Big Boom create chaos and we are all made from chaos? Do people with more good matter become positive matter and other people become a kind of anti-matter? Is the chaos being divided between good and evil? And again, what happens once the chaos has all been sorted? Is that the end of the game?
I really hope that when we die we firstly get all the answers that we crave and secondly, we understand the reason Why?!
Sorry for waffling. :rolleyes:
That is until you have achieved what you need to do, then you're free to move on.
