For me I am a Christian and I believe in going to heaven. The only problem is, if we each share a soul, then what would come of us? Would we be integrated and only one person? Would we each be in an angelic body able to still communicate like here on earth? Would we each be our own person, but still somehow connected? I know no one can say for sure, just wondering what your take on this is.
Oh, I like this topic a lot. And the answers have been really interesting.
Well, I believe we are consciousness using a body to live a human experience. I do believe we are all connected and that we are all one (with the universe, with other people, with animals, and plants, and beings from this planet and everywhere): that big consciousness. And through each of our experiences that big consciousness, that we all are, learns and evolves.
When we die, humans in general, I believe we leave this body, and we gain consciousness again of everything we have experienced. We also connect again with all other planes and beings we have forgotten about (astral places, universal knowledge, etc.).
I also believe there are levels of knowledge. So when we die, I believe we can decide what to do next depending on the levels we have reached and our understanding of everything.
In the case of someone with DID, I believe when they die the conception of separateness among alters is dissolved. So when a person with DID dies, I believe all their different expressions of the self are understood by the soul as the experiences in this human life.
I have come to think and understand that it must be the same for that big consciousness I was talking about. As if the big consciousness also had DID (having many parts of the self: us all). So, I believe, that when we die that illusion of separateness, that me is different from any of you, dissolves too.
Now that I write about, I wonder then, what happens really in the afterlife. Because I believe the illusion of separateness dissolves, so I understand consciously that you and I are connected and one. However, I also believe I keep having a sense of "self" or of "me". As in I am able to also decide what to do next (me, whatever me that it is), and to identify "myself" somehow different from the rest.
Hummm...
I've read and talked with friends that some people when they've had close to death experiences they see "welcomers" as from their believes or loved ones. For example, Jesus, Krishna, a parent. So it might suggest that what we believe in influences or is linked to what we see after we die.
I've also read and talked about the different scenarios a "soul" can choose after death. And it seems that the "light" or "pure love" or whatever manifestation it is, it's always a possibility for us to go to. As if we can always choose it. However, due to our experiences, vibration, and so on, we are more attracted to one or any other. So it seems that our paths, experiences, understandings might make us choose different possibilities to live and experience what we must, even if that's not light just yet.
This last paragraph makes me wonder then, if we all need to experience it all in order to evolve? So I need to experience pain, and love; but so does my neighbor, and so on. Or weather when someone (a part of the big consciousness) experiences something, they have experienced it for us all? And we don't need to experience, let's say pain, because that other part of the self experienced it.
Interesting for sure this all.
