Where does this all end?

[oasis]

Hello all. I guess this is a philiosphical question about the result of immersing onself in IM.

If each of us is the centre of the universe as we know it, where does it end? Where does the path lead, once we become completely aware of ourselves and our potential. What follows next? Anyone got any ideas?

I'm afraid I don't really have the slightest idea, apart from you could make yourself live forever or something.

[Aware]

It is my belief that we do live eternally, live in a sense of that word anyway, Reincarnation too.

As for reaching our potential and the after of that, I think we have endless opportunities and perhaps it is something to do with enlightenment. I'm not sure, it's one to think about anyway.

This is one of those subjects that mankind will pontificate on forever, with no concrete answers.

Here is a simplified, 'nutshell' version of what I believe.

Like Aware, I believe that we reincarnate throughout eternity...I think that all time is an illusion, a dimension that we experience. Our consciousness is refracted through this prism, which we perceive as time, not unlike a prism that breaks down light into the colors of the rainbow.

So all our incarnations are actually existing simultaneously. Eventually in a 'later' incarnation, our souls do evolve to a higher level. That higher level self can see and experience things that are beyond our three-dimensional, clock-ticking world. The higher self, and other evolved souls, spirits, etc., help the less evolved incarnations along the way.

In the core of every soul there is God, and thus free will. Each soul is their own entity, and can do, create, feel, think, etc. whatever they want.

Due to free will, there is a constant struggle for every soul between remaining stuck in the selfish, low-vibration, negative energy, self-gratifying physical realm, or to evolve closer to God and to eventually become one with God. That struggle, especially the progress forward, is sort of like the interaction between protons and electrons, IMO, and creates more energy (which God basically is).

God is the energy matrix that ties us all together throughout all of our possible existences, incarnations and unknown dimensions that we interact in, a nurturing fuel that ignites us and transforms our beliefs into reality.

I've always believed we go to higher or lower planes depending on our vibration at the time. That's why I just feel like I should be happy and make other people happy.

And GhostGoat that is almost exactly what I believe. About etarnal consciousness being god and that we all have the free-will to do whatever we want as we evolve higher.

It makes me experience what a suicide bomber experiences... though I don't have roadflares strapped to my chest.

When I look at it that way there is no fearing death. It's eternal freedom.

Hmm, yes, Silenced and Ghost Coat that is certainly close to my views on spirituality and I do thank you for those thoughts.

However, are there are any 100% subjective reality advocates out there who would disagree and challenge the kind of conclusions put down here?
