Can We Choose Oblivion, rather than Continue Life on the oth

Can We Choose Oblivion, rather than Continued Life on other Planes ?

This it the train of thought on this question from Edgar Cayce :

  “Life is eternal. It is in Him, and merely to change through God’s other door (Physical death) as only changed toe out-look . But, as we prepare the self for the vistas of the various consciousnesses upon the stages of development, we become a part that -if out pathway is being led alright.”

What if one does not “walk with God” what does that mean to that person ?

Or do we see God as just the imagery used for “Universal All” or “Light” ext ?

What if our Soul has run its course ? There is nothing more to learn ? ( If that be possible)

I found that quote here, as an answer to a 52 years old woman asking: Must I go on living?

I believe that when you die, it is like waking up from sleep / dream. You aren't exactly the same one as you were in your dream, but not much more either; a little more lucid. You have another level of existence, with other thoughts and perspective, in a different context.

Cayce, in trance, didn't quite answer that woman's question, although he was very religious, and suicide is a sin (I think).

We can't imagine what a "soul" thinks, and as far as I know all souls are on an eternal quest for infinite evolvement. There is never a point where there's nothing more to learn, and any temporary disorientation is straighten up by more evolved guides.

There is only one condition/state of existence/conscious reality - we call it NOW.
It's all there is. 'Oblivion' is not a choice as it doesn't exist.

Being aware of the information given so far I, myself, have no question. I had the same question years ago and became aware it is not a timely question. I had to ask what that meant. Is it a spiritual question or physical one. It is a question one cannot know yet because the next part of the journey can change choice. We think everything is the same, it is not. I think I know but I may not.

Love the question and hope to hear more thoughts from the spirit side. When you opened your eyes here you did not know what to expect you think you do now. These are the words I heard. My own experience confirmed this long ago and still does. When mind syncs with consciousness available do we resist. Does spirit communicate? The journey will clarify imo. Many parts of journey I do not like. I think many of our thought are a mix of both spiritual and physical and that our perspective.

Why aren't there any people like Cayce any longer. Has what he said before even been expanded even more. I think people wanting spiritual answers should go to spirit but realized it is not your perspective or about the you. I do not know why we don't. Hope to hear more.

I agree. Yet some nights of deep sleep...I feel like it was oblivion!
Same like when I had anesthesia in the Operating room....as a kid....tonsils and appendectomy at 12.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

For me the clearest example is a particularly fruitful sitting in deep effortless meditation, where the timer goes off seemingly just after starting. From the outside it seems like a blink of an eye however there is a "knowing" of continuity of Consciousness even though mind is apparently offline.

It seems the same to me as "knowing" we slept like a log. Same for anesthesia and I've been under for torn cartilage, deviated septum and fractured wrist. It's just more apparent in the more controlled environment of meditation from fully awake to deep meditation to fully awake.

It's oblivion to mind but absolute serenity to something else.

I think people wanting spiritual answers should go to spirit
When does this become a "timely question"? Obviously it becomes timely for different entities (Cayce's terminology) at different times.

I agree with you that "people wanting spiritual answers should go to Spirit" and, by Spirit, I am not necessarily referring to disincarnate entities. I go to the Spirit through meditation and also through incarnate beings who have a deeper understanding of the Reality than I may have.

This is a great question and I am interested in hearing more as this is a subject that I have investigated as best as possible.

Meaning no disrespect ... To me sitting in meditation, in oblivion, is like watching tv without tuning into a broadcast. Meditation is one of the possible tools to turn inwards, and tap into the available knowledge and guidance, understand what you are, evolve.

Looking for knowledge and guidance from other people, gurus, and dogmas adds distortions you can't sift out. It is okay in the beginning, or if you just use them as conduits and not for what they claim.
