I believe we are energy, even if we go through periods where we are not conscious...we are still a live wire. Who says we have to be conscious to be eternal?
I think that is a misconception. I can only say this, I know when I was a toddler, I was one of those kids you have read about who could recall their past lives.
I even knew some of those people from my previous life, who were going to be in this life. I also knew what to look for, I knew what they would look like...and I still remember telling myself not to forget, do not forget. You have unfinished business with this or that person. And guess what....I forgot! I was conscious of this when I was 3 years old...by the time I hit 5 or 6, the memories of what I had to do faded away.
However, I did run into these people starting in my teen years, and I was drawn to them. I was not actively conscious of it, but my soul was and my feelings were drawn to these people.
I didnt remember these memories until later, after my NDE. I know for a fact I had these memories as a small kid, because my memory came back in later on...and I can remember as a 3 year, sitting under a tree in the evening time, in my front yard, recalling these past life memories.
Consciousness and memory are a funny thing. People believe because you dont remember or are not conscious of something, that you are not alive or it didnt happen. That is wrong...you can still be alive and not be conscious...even after death.
If you think about it, those people you read about in a coma... but had no memory or conscious...they were still alive. Energy is energy, with or without a constant consciousness.
Consciousness and memory do not go hand in hand with energy. They are made possible by your brain, but mainly by your feelings. It is your feelings that bring back these memories and make you conscious of them.
And I am a firm believer, that your feelings are your soul, or a huge part of your soul. I believe the older a soul is, the more consciousness it has. I do not consider most souls on this earth old souls....even though many people here will argue about this until the sun comes up. I have a huge family, I work in a huge facility, I have lived in huge cities...almost all of the people I have come across are not old souls or conscious every second of every day. You see this more with people who have suffered from racism, prejudice, trauma, child abuse, ect....the ones who really do learn, are very conscious of how they act and treat others. They are very conscious of it.
They are conscious to a degree where they walk, talk, and breathe consciousness. Its hard to put into words, but it is the difference between someone who is speeds and hits a dog, then keeps going...and someone who stops and checks on the dog and feels really bad.
That person is going to be more conscious on how they drive and there is going to be a certain level of change and pain to where they become fully conscious anytime they are behind the wheel.
It is that level of consciousness, that frequency...that is caused through suffering, which will make a soul more conscious after death.
I think there is a lot of misconceptions, from stories and nde's about the after life and how it works. The more lives you live, the more suffering, the more consciousness you have. BUT, you are still eternal, you are energy...you are always going to be a live wire whether you are conscious of it or not.
When the bible said you would be rewarded for your suffering, it didnt mean you were going to live in streets of gold or win the lottery, it meant you are going to build your own conciousness and through this consciousness you will have the ability to manifest your own reality...brick by brick, life after life. That not only includes suffering, but any kind of passion you have in this life that you pursue or are conscious of.
We are energy, we are very comfortable having no conscious at all... its what happened when we were separated from the source, but it is also a natural state. Having a higher consciousness, is rewarding for spiritual advancement and future lives.
