How do you think it ends?

This last month has been a season of beginnings... Christians celebrated the beginning of their Savior's life, Jews celebrated a miracle and the beginning of freedom, pagans celebrated the beginning of the 'light' half of the year, and on a secular level, we all celebrated the beginning of a new calendar year. Somehow it all got me thinking about ending. About The End. But I can't quite decide what I think that end is.
I'm sure that at the end of this physical lifetime I'll have some resting/judgement period, and then incarnate into another physical body. My belief at this point is that I'll continue to do so until I've learned either everything there is to know about being human, or at least everything I want to know about being human. (My DS#2 suggested once to me that we have a choice when and whether to reincarnate, and I really think he's onto something with it.) But then what? Evolve into a higher spirit level? Like a guardian angel maybe? And then any higher forms from there? Or from there is it over and we just merge into Spirit for good? I don't think I like the idea of ever being stagnant. There must always be something new to learn, some new way to grow. :-/
Anyone else ever think beyond the individual lifetime? What do you think happens?

Wow... that's quite an experience Lynne.
Anyways, i do think I will kind of know, like I'll have a dream from a loved one or spirit guide and have a feeling when I will check out. We do have a little choice in that one, like, when my granddaughter gets married or after the graduation etc. I assume I'll go before the counsel to go over my life as Leila. Join my peers in my soul group after I get rested up. There is a lot to do over there, we don't get borerd, unless that is a choice there too. Being a spirit guide is what one purpose will be. I think I may have answered this the other day, but I am actually addressing the thinking part of it, I do it often and wonder if it is too often or morbid??????? If I really believed would I think about it as much????????
Or is it always a part of us to be there? Love, leila
Hi there, my name is Amy. I read your post and had to reply.
I wonder what will happen when I die frequently. I think about this at least ONCE a day. I believe that I think about it way too much. I don't know if it's interfering with my life, maybe a little, but I'm afraid of the thought. I am scared to die and I don't want to. It's something that I have to do alone and that thought itself is scary!
I think that it's completely normal to question it. I have asked people what they think about it as well, and they usually don't have too much to say, or aren't really interested. I think that there are some of us that dig deeper into the thought than others. Maybe we are more spiritually aware, or maybe God is reaching out to us?
I myself, hate not having answers. I think that is the part that scares me the most. I guess none of us will know until we get there. :-)

Thank you for welcoming me!!!
My fear is based on where I will go when I die, and the transition. I'm very scared of that. I don't understand it. There are a lot of things that I don't understand. I wonder, why can't we know when we are alive, where we will go when we die? Why can't we speak to the dead? Why can't we have proof?
I'm scared that when I die, it's the end. What if the living have believed in the high spirt and have been wrong. I don't want to disappear.
I'm also afraid that I will go to hell, or I won't get into heaven. I have never been baptised, I want to, but I don't know how. I don't even understand what the purpose of baptism is. I think the reason I am so afraid of death is because of lack of education. I have been learning a lot about religion lately. There is always the "what if's" that get me going.
I think it's the human instinct that is making me doubt everything. If I don't see it, then there is a chance that it isn't there. I wish I could just be at ease, and stop worrying so much about it!!!
Thanks for listening,
Amy
My first thought is that knowledge is power, so you're on the right track in trying to learn all you can.
I don't know how it's ends, we will never know how it ends. I don't think their is an ending life is forever, the universe is forever, "how we think it ends it's just the begining"

I know in my heart we all are going home. We have probabaly died many many times. I am probably a pro!!!!!!! Birth is supposed to be more difficult. We can be room mates on a cloud and I'll take care of you!!!!!!!!!! We esentially do everything alone not realizing our spirit guides and God energy are always with us. Call for the help and some spirit or angel is there. love, Leila
Hi Leila,
Thanks for your reply. I would really, really like to believe what you believe. Why is it, that I am always doubtful and seeking proof? Why can't I just trust that, and leave it at that? It's so frustrating because I end up scaring myself into a full blown panic attack.
So, the soul leaves the body before it dies? Can you tell when this happens? My boyfriend's father passed away, and I was in the room when it happened. He was asleep for the last 24 hours. It was like he wasn't even there. When he passed, I was very freaked out. I wanted to leave the room, but I didn't want the family to think that I was rude.
I am constantly thinking of death, and where his is now. I feel like I never got to say goodbye, but then again, none of us really did because he was basically in a coma. He was suffering from a brain tumour. Such a sad thing. :-(
I have never really had any "spirtual" experiences, or seen a ghost or anything of the sort. I like to hear what everyone says about their thoughts on death. It is comforting to believe in a higher being, and it puts life into perspective.
How do you know all of these things? What makes you so sure? Have you had any spirtual experiences? With you being a nurse, have you seen anything?
Sorry, I have a lot to ask.

Hi Ginger,
I wanted to thank you for your reply. I tried out that link you gave me and it's saying my beliefs are Christian. I know that there is still a lot for me to learn, and I'm glad I've decided not to live my life ignorant to it.
I've been lurking around your community for a while, searching for answers. I guess maybe I'm trying to find myself. I have a long way to go, but I'm willing to do it. I don't want to live my life a sinner. I do not even know what the 10 commandments are!
I have to admit the fear of the unknown does scare me. I wish that I didn't have to live my life in fear, but I think that a lot of it has to do with my anxiety problem. What I don't understand is why am I questioning all this now? Why not a long time ago? I'm 22 years old, now I'm questioning life. I guess all people have a phase in their life where they question things, but I don't know why I can't stop dwelling.
Thanks,
Amy
