Higher Self.

Our existence is more than just the physical avatar of our human and mortal existence.

Religion has taught us that we must obey and follow the teachings of a man-made god.

Though, the only system of beliefs we should be following is within us; the individual in harmony with the natural order of the universe.

We have lived before and will continue to live in some form beyond the physical avatars.

Our mortal and physical bodies will eventually die, but energy can't be created or destroyed; it merely takes on a different form as it transitions to another state.

Therefore, we will reconnect as one mind; the universal consciousness and continue to exist in another way.

It is beyond the mortal human mind to understand the existence of what is beyond this existence, though we are already shown a glimpse of this when a new child is born.

In the physical form we can grow seemingly from nothing and be shaped by our parents and other influencing adults, but the spark of life that exists within each of us contains the key to understanding that we are so much more; where does the baseline of our personalities come from, it's not just a collection of random connections forming in the brain during our development, it's so much more!

Some of us remember a past life, though usually those that do have had a near-death experience and have come back with the knowledge they did not learn in their physical existence; this phenomenon has never been explained? Mainly because we are using the limited human understanding of something we don't actually understand.

As an Awakened mind, it's easier to associate that as a reconnection; this is the key to understanding what it is that is happening when we die. If we die and then are brought or come back to life, we are given a glimpse of what is to come. We are shown that in some way we are reconnecting with the universal consciousness and another form of our own existence as a spiritual being beyond the physical.

The knowledge we receive that we did not learn in this lifetime is from another version of our existence; memories can't always transcend through the different mortal existences, but they will always be a part of what we are beyond the physical.

In the existence beyond the physical, we are all one, there are no parents, siblings or family connections and there is no gender.

Though, our spiritual version of ourselves can be bound to other spiritual energies.

If we are able to reconnect to a "soul connection" from the existence beyond the physical they could take on different forms in the physical; a lover, a mother, a father, a sister, a brother, a grandmother, a daughter or a son.

Human understanding is limited and we as a species believe everything is about sexual motivation, physical gender and reproduction. But, that is only a physical manifestation; what we are is so much more.

With the Atheist view, you are born, you live, and then you die and that's it!

That view, however, is limited and entirely subjective to a fear-based narrative and a belief in nothing but self. In reality, everything is energy and when our physical bodies cease, that energy transitions into something else.
