I do not claim to know what happens when we die, how our soul (or spirit) arrives in the physical world, and I would discourage you from listening to anyone who says they do. To fully understand every inherent detail about the journey of a soul is something that no mortal being is capable of understanding. Now, that is not to say that, as mortals, we are incapable of understanding some or parts of the soul's journey into the afterlife, but merely that we shouldn’t make bold statements of fact about how the soul transitions or the specific paths it takes.  Instead, we should approach the subject with humility, recognizing the complexity of oogenesis.

All that being said, we all have ideas and theorize on why we are here and what will happen when we die. There is a concept within cognitive evolution called “pattern recognition, In essence, it states that our brains are wired to look for patterns and meaning in the world. We have done this from the brink of time by creating stories, philosophies, and religious systems to explain life and death, seeking patterns that provide comfort or understanding in the face of uncertainty.

My perspective on the cycle of life—how we come into being and how we eventually depart—is constantly evolving. As I discover new concepts, explore theories, and gather insight from the dead, my views often shift and transform from what I once believed.

Right now, I believe that our existence and journey are both predetermined and fluid. While we may have a destiny, I don’t see it as rigidly set in stone. Life, as I understand it, is filled with suffering, but through that suffering, we have the opportunity to grow and evolve. We have free will to shape our lives, and it’s up to us to embrace the lessons that come our way and strive for transformation.

I also believe that if we leave this physical realm without completing the lessons we were meant to learn, parts of our soul return in another form to try again. This cycle continues until those lessons are mastered. Along the way, we have guides—beings from beyond the physical realm—who help us navigate our journeys. Some guides stay with us throughout our entire lives, while others come and go, appearing during the times we struggle most with growth or enlightenment.

These guides vary in nature. Some may have once lived in the physical realm and experienced its complexities as humans, animals, plants, or other forms. Often, they struggled with the same challenges we face in our lives, offering unique insight and empathy for our journey. Their experiences may mirror our own, allowing them to guide us with a sense of shared understanding. They remind us that growth is universal, and their wisdom comes not just from observing us but from having walked similar paths themselves.

Others, however, may never have been human at all. They might be what we think of as angels or extensions of the creative force—source energy, the universe, or whatever name you prefer for what brought us into existence. This same force is responsible for everything that has ever existed in any dimension or realm.I believe the spirit realm, where the dead reside, isn’t far removed from our physical world. Instead, it’s interwoven, like a thin veil separating us from the spirits. This veil allows for connection and communication, even if it’s not always apparent.I believe our souls are multifaceted. 

Not all of a soul reincarnates—only the parts that need further growth to reach enlightenment, or what I think of as the full completion of existence. These parts return again and again, however long it takes, to learn what they must.Finally, I believe time isn’t linear. Instead, it’s a constantly shifting, interconnected flow of existence—encompassing moments, experiences, and entire realms of reality.
