" It's true that a higher power works through us and that we are an extension of that higher power,..."...............

" But they do not really die. They just leave the body behind."

I never cease to marvel, Little Hawk, at the certainty with which you throw those statements out in post after post. I argue and discuss, trying to hedge my bets and leave room for possibilites, but you simply state that "this is how it works".

How did you BECOME so sure? Is this revelation? Did you figure it out?   What are the premises on which you base so many matter-of-fact statements about the universe and our place in it? I can see how a vivid experience with an 'alien ship' might give you confidence in THAT area, but the entire universe and its relation to conciousness??

Some would consider your statements metaphorical poetry, but you seem to be quite serious.
