I have always been of the belief you truly do not die..... you relive your life again and again and live through all life changing decisions while playing out a different scenario. Basically, in this life I dropped out of Hiram during my second semester.... next life, I am the same person just I graduate from Hiram.... or I don't get kicked out of the play, or I choose not to gamble.

In other words what I have learned in this life transfers over to the next and the choices.

This is why some people seem to "catch all the breaks" or "have streaks of great luck" or never seem to have problems or advance better than others.... etc etc. They have reached points where they have lived that lifetime enough to have made the "right choices" to get there. We all have a destiny to fulfill, it just may take us a few go rounds to reach that destiny.

I also believe the same people (friends, co-workers, etc) are in each life, just maybe in differing forms (it is your "reality" and thus people in it are reflected by your vision of them). I believe we attract the same people good and bad because that is all our essence, soul, spirit, whatever, knows. I think that there are only 2 limitations in our realities, that is one and the other is we consciously lose the vast majority of our previous lives, however, some memories come back because they have been replayed so many times (deja vu).

Once you have lived out every possibility or reached the apex, your essence is moved to another level.

I know sounds out there but look who wrote all this.

However, through all this I do believe in God, it is quite possible that to him my reality, your reality all our realities are simply a computer game, movie, bbok etc to him and we are the major characters and he is trying to figure out the perfect scene for us.

I just cannot believe in true death and nothingness..... however, it is the only thing our conscience cannot grasp.... total true nothingness. There has to be a reason why.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
