Afterlife (Endings)

you'd like to believe we are not the person we think we are. It's as if, then, we have come to this Earth as actors playing a part, and only when we go back to the In-Between Time do we find out who we "truly are". I should imagine that, since this is how you would like things to be, you would therefore like to think that Hitler is actually a really nice guy and ... since he will remember everything ... will wonder what the heck made him into such a monster. -I would like to think that in the IBT there is no good - bad soul, just souls without judgment (in the sense of good and evil) since the IBT would be a place of reflection and all knowing, unlike places of forgetfulness like it is here on Earth, where what we know is only gained from a limited source. In the IBT, I'd like to think we are aware of and connected to knowledge and comprehension collected from the ATI (All That Is). ->But how could this nice guy live with the knowledge of what he's done? Wouldn't the IBT be full of criminals in agony? -I'd like to think that every soul has a choice to fill a position or fulfill a mission (or just visit to visit) on whatever plane of material existence they choose to come into. In the collective conscience of the ATI, there may be a knowledge and understanding of the evolution of places like Earth's limited material consciousness knowing, which would differ from the knowledge of the unlimited IBT's collective conscious. Possibly, such a situation as Hitler brought about, may work for Earth's evolving human nature, in the long run - learning by histories mistakes. So much goes on here that is horrific to the human conscience (as well as wonderful), and it definitely brings me comfort to think that in the IBT, it is understood the purpose and balance of it all. ->I suspect also that the realistic you (as opposed to the idealistic one represented here) will wonder as I do how the nice "true" Hitler can have been metamorphosed into the tyrant, and indeed how any identity is formed in the first place or can continue in the second place!-I find it quite easy to imagine that when someone comes into the material plane of existence, they remember nothing about who they are in the IBT, yet, a part of their subconscious does know their purpose here, if they have one, and that their subconscious is connected to their purpose or mission here. -Because I am a vivid dreamer and since I've done some pretty bad things as well as some very phenomenal things in my dreams, as well as had some ongoing dreams throughout my life, I wouldn't be surprised if science one day proves that when we dream, we actually do the things we dream we do in the other planes of existence. That's what it feels like to me many times when I wake up, and sometimes it takes me awhile to let go of what just happened in my dreams, but I do because of what's going on in this life. So I can imagine that even if I knew for a fact that what I dreamed was real and I had killed someone in my dream, I don't think I would suffer here for the killing there (not to say it wouldn't filter thru now and then). Because I would understand that in that life, whatever I did was done because of what was going on in that life and not connected to who I am and what is going on in this one.-I appreciate your digging deeper/asking questions about how I would like things to be. It helps me to look further into possibilities and the what if's, which I really enjoy doing. -continued...
