>>508024198 (OP)It is very likely that we already have an answer to that and that's reincarnation based on your own vibrational match which corelates with the concepts of Heaven, Hell and Limbo and they're said to be for "eternity" because if you don't evolve you will live in worlds dominated by the vibrational matches and you will live by them over and over again until a point when you evolve spiritually for example this world is a prison and you can't escape it even if you kill yourself, if you do it you will live a far more worse life because you haven't finished your lesson.
Consciousness is the base layer of reality. You're a fragment of it, running blind, gaining data through choice, pain, joy, and consequence.
Pain = signal you're out of alignment.
Joy = signal you're in alignment.
Karma = momentum from past decisions.
Death = exit point, review, reset or ascend.
Reincarnation = not a punishment, just inertia.
Guides, entities, etc. = real, but most are interfaces. Some are you, some arenโt.
