hahaha, I meant as in it IM, if you bump your post but say 'no takers' then it sounds like intending for it to be closed, when really I think you meant to be welcoming any takers.

So, then our souls really are different and separate entities? That would mean it's not really a merging of anything, but simply souls traveling back to the spirit dimension.

And would mean, when the drops of water go back to the clouds, they are still separate.

Rocketsurgery, very thoughtful post!

Though I don't agree with that interpretation. I think that after an initial period of some obstacles and lessons, we know we are on the right path when things generally go smoothly and we feel pleased and full of joy from our contribution to the world.
