just a thought

[FlamedLilly]

I just recently got a new roommate, and her and I were talking about our different views of how things go about in the universe. she started asking me questions and I her, and I found out that I didn't really know what I thought about inbetween times of reincarnation.

I don't know if this has been brought up in the past or not but what do you think about it? do we just "float around" or are we actively reviewing our lives and the lessons that we need to learn?

Why does there have to be 'in-between' time? Couldn't your energy actively move to another container upon Death...pronto-like?

I suppose it could but I tend to think in terms of between times, in taking space out to consolidate the lessons learned in that lifetime, perhaps choosing the lessons or areas to be worked on in the next lifetime. Though I too have no definite ideas of the where's or how's.

Here's an even scarier thought.. Why not both? This is actually how I see it.. We do take "time out" in order to fully integrate our lessons, and to plan the next life... however, time as we know it here would hardly apply to our pure spiritform, ne? So, if we could observe this activity it would seem to occur, as mol said, pronto-like, but would actually encompass quite a bit of activity.

I share a similar thought process to what Erin just said.
Though, for there to be ghosts and spirits, questions areise.

Very good take on it.

I think this is an awsome topic, though not something I've really thought about all that much. I suppose my take on it is, that we have "periods" on different levels. The first level after "death" being what I think of as the "roaming" period. The spirits that are still among us would fall into the "roaming" period. After that, I don't know. I haven't done a whole lot of reading on the subject, some I'm interested in hearing some other responses here. :)

I looked into it on the internet, I came up with a lot of vague ideas. But I don't know. I think it's something that you have to come to in conclusion on your own. I just don't know what conclusion I've drawn! But I am interested in knowing what others think.

ok, here's what I think; (though I think someone else said something simliar)

Time is nothing to our Higher Self. We live each life at the same time, while still learning from ourselves at each time.
Our Higher Self does not see time as we do. There is no past, no future. There is only now....

I'm not sure if I'm making any sense...

[FlamedLilly]

that's a good point. But if that's true then does it ever stop? do we ever get to an end point?

I've thought about this a lot, and came up with an answer a while back with some help from a friend. Here's my take on the "in-between"...

When we die, our soul goes to the Summerland (or whatever you want to call a resting place) to rest and gear up for the next life. There, you choose which lessons you wish to learn in your next life, and you also choose the form with which you will learn them. You can choose the hardest form, easiest, or something inbetween, depending on what lessons you chose to learn.

It might not be much, and it might not be what anyone else thinks.. but that's my take on it. Also, when you've learned everything you can.. you can still choose to go back just to live. Or you can stay in the resting place as long as you like, always with the option to be reborn.

I think that on the subject of Ghosts that they either do not know that they are dead or they have a feeling of being a protecter of something. I've seen them and spoken to them so I know that they are real.

As far as what happens after our physical body dies, I think that we have some time if we choose not to rush into the next avaliable body to take our time and rest, learning from the just past from life or waiting on our loved one's so we can be together again, or the picking and choosing that was mentioned above.

thanks for responding. this thread is sure helping me out a lot. I'm still not sure about the end point, but I think it's something more then just sitting and waiting around. :)

The way I see it, there's no end, there's no beginning, though your Higher Self may see the beginning of time and the end of time as we know it here.

hmm... as to ghosts and such... to use Museic teachings, those could be spirits experiencing Perood ("seperation")... Just PM me about Museic afterlife so I don't have to spam this thread overmuch.. :)
