Then when one chooses to incarnate for whatever reason, it can choose which world it goes to, based on the experience it's trying to get? And typically a soul chooses one world to incarnate in over and over again to gain the different experiences of that world? It's unusual for a soul to bounce between worlds in it's different physical incarnations?
So this implies that other worlds exist other than earth?
(I know these are statements but I'm not sure about them so I've ended them w/ question marks, so correct me if I'm wrong)
What makes a soul an individual? Upon death if a soul/spirit goes back to source does it exist as an individual soul or is source just a place where consciousness exists in non-physical form? For example consider the soul that inhabits in my physical body now. Has it always been tied exclusively to only one set of experiences? The ones that I've had in my physical lives past and present or is the spirit that inhabits my physical body now a mish-mosh of different souls/energy from source that needs to incarnate?
And where are you gathering your belief on this from? How do you know? |
Yes, other worlds exist. So many, in fact, that we can't even properly conceive of how many there are. Not only do an infinitude of physical worlds exist, there is also an infinity of parallel or probable realities. And not only that....there are non-physical worlds as well, and "semi-physical" realities.
Any reality you can possibly imagine exists as a probable reality within "Source". But to Source, there is no difference between "probable" and "actual". So, in a sense, everything already exists and always has.
Your individuality is maintained by your belief system (because reality is generated by thoughts and beliefs), which tells you that you sit over here, and the rest of the world is over there. The perception of autonomy (individuality) is maintained by your insistence that externality exists. In other words, the universe only appears "out there" because you insist that you are "in here".
It will exist for as long as you want it to, but one day, in the distant future, you may let go of your individuality, and it will not mean annihilation for your spirit, but rather, you will recognize that you are everything in existence. It will be a very profound "aha" moment
. You've always existed anyways and always will. This is when you
fully return to the Source.
And as to whether your particular consciousness has always been tied to one particular grouping of experiences, I would say I don't know. Two souls can have completely different "spiritual genealogy". But, we all come from the same place, and you do maintain your individuality in-between incarnations.
As to how I know this is true information: all I can tell you is the truth is VERY important to me, and I'm constantly in search of more spiritual information. I meditate frequently, pray, ask for guidance, and am led to many many books and other teachers who present information that I feel confirmed as truth inside my being, or I don't, in which case, I move on. I've amassed quite a bit of knowledge now, and still have a long ways to go, but what I've described above is information I feel strongly to be truth.
Feel free to ask more questions if you'd like additional clarification.
