A working theory on AP/OBE/NDE and the afterlife

[olyris]

My thoughts are we are continually going back and forth across the veil, stepping between two worlds again and again, until we can either stay in one of them forever, or perhaps even move freely between the two, or have one foot in each at same time.

Sorry if this post was long, thought I’d at least explain it all in detail…

Back and forth, pride or greed, in response to pride or greed - this is chess - settle for fun OR eternity.

What do you mean? we already ARE eternal, so then it's not fun OR eternity, it's eternal fun!

If we are on this journey, incarnating over and over, then you could either try to pursue enlightenment as a way out of it, or just sit back and enjoy the ride, have fun and do absolutely nothing if you like. In the grand scheme of it all, nothing even matters because every possibility to ever exist has already been created and fulfilled. It all exists in the eternal timeless present moment which is right here, right now. We are just picking different paths based on the previous frame of reference according to our beliefs and expectations, doesn't matter what path you choose because you just experience a different timeline, we basically moving to different timelines constantly progressing down paths leading to whatever our end goal is. Only way out would be breaking the system or becoming enlightened and transitioning into a different form altogether. It's like we are God incarnate having a personal experience of life from multiple perspectives within the God continuum. If all paths lead to the same place, then eventually everything becomes whole again at some point, your soul becomes enlightened or you have experienced so much that there is nothing left to do but be a state of unity with God as a humble spark of creation, resonating in a perpetual state of peace, contentment and humbleness. When you look at it like this, there's not really any need to do anything at all, you can just sit back and take your time with anything and everything if you want, or you can try and progress faster to reach the end goal. But like many say, it's about the journey not the destination, just got to have fun along the way!

I suppose I meant that for the purposes of experiential learning you can pick the black or the white team, on the chessboard. But you are right, you could transcend the game itself and witness. In society you do get either meditation (black) or prayer (white) for a synthesis - doing both tends to leads you to muddlement. However, in pure clarity there is only joy, and that's plenty for a thing to occupy the self with.

Oh I see what you saying now, I found they are just opposite ends of same spectrum.

Eg.
up/down, left/right, inner/outer, light/dark, love/hate, cold/hot, male/female, yin/yang etc, etc. > but there is also a middle, a center, central point of balance, neutrality, etc.

We live in duality, there is polarity and you can go to either extreme or just be in a calm peaceful spot right in the middle or at least try to hover around that area on the fence which creates balance "everything in moderation". Even the afterlife seems to have duality or polarity unless you transcend it completely and reach a state of unity merging back into unison as the collective and no longer an individual but a part of the whole.

Light, Dark, and Balance... impossible and inescapable theory.
