I should note that I do not like the the new-age belief that we only have the here and now, and that that is all that matters. It is a conceptual truth, therefore, not a real truth in my mind. It makes sense in the realm they created, which has SOME reality in it, but I do not think that it IS reality. For one thing, I know I have lived other lives on this Earth, whatever that means, and I know that death is not the end of whatever this experience is.

There are two types of death: dark death and white death. Dark death is what most people undergo: the consciousness, the soul and its accumulated karma go to the astral plane, where they will stay in suspension for a long time, but interfere and serve as material for the living. White death happens once a being's karma is destroyed and their consciousness fuses with the Cosmic Intelligence on the Universal Absolute planes of eternal existence. Once that happens, "dying" is simply the deactivation of the physical body and one retains all their abilities.

This interests me greatly. You'll be hearing from me soon concerning this. Edit: the thing is, I've heard these things before, but you write about them in a way that is helping me understand in a way I hadn't before.

Because I'm not doing theory. ;-)
