    Default who are we after we die?

    Let's say there is such a thing as an afterlife.

    What do you think the chances are that your personality type remains the same? Would i still be an enfp in heaven?

    Metaphysical realms definitely exists, although it's very complicated, subtle and nuanced. There are a lot of different levels. Transferring realms and working up through higher dimensions revolves around a lot of pain. And risk-taking. Most people like the comfort of security, so they like stable vibrations.

    There is an infinite number of heavens, and an infinite number of hells. Things can always get better, and they can always get worse- reality is sharpely balanced in an attempt to make you feel stable as much as possible. (You could just go to heaven now in an instant, but it would also drive you insane- which sends you to hell) Though this veil doesn't work out too well, people are kinda extreme in their own interpersonal landscape view of things.

    I think you're kinda asking the wrong kind of questions. Your goal isn't to figure that out, but more how can you smoothly wide the waves and vibrations in life, instead of just feeling yanked around in a quadzillion different directions, by a quadzillion different realities and universes.

    In otherwords, instead of 'searching', find your center. At least, that's what I would do. The answer to every question, technically is, 'Yes.'

    I'm sorry, but... definitely exists?


    Edit: At the risk of possibly derailing the thread with that question - After I die, my body will decompose and break down and get absorbed back into the earth which will combine with other chemicals and nutrients for billions upon billions of years until this planet is no more, at which time the parts that made up the contents of my body will disperse out all across the universe to be consumed and recycled by whatever process my parts happen to come across. Assuming that there is an afterlife to me is like saying "Suppose I live long enough to set foot on a planet outside of the solar system. What would life be like on that planet?" It's nice to think about as a dream, but it doesn't really mean anything, except that I have the capacity to think about grand dreams.

    I think basic personalityies will remain the same, but we won't have a PoLR anymore.

    Our personalities are defined by our strengths and weaknesses. Since heaven is supposedly perfection and eternal bliss, shouldn't it stand to reason that our weaknesses are obliterated? But then who are we without that?

    And I suppose, you'd have to eliminate conflict relations in heaven and any other bad type of relation. This kind of suggests to me that there is no personality type so to speak of when you get to heaven (unless some types don't get admitted at all).

    i have a theory that when you take magic mushrooms the swirly patterns you see is coming from way down in your subconscious when you remember the universe looking like this. as if your atoms had a shared consciousness. the nature of their reality would be cool swirley geometric shapes of the most vivid colours ever. they kind of remind me of DNA. is there a relationship between the shapes my subconscious generates and the shapes we have found DNA to be made up of. so i think it's possible that when you die you go back to the lovely colourful swirley place, no drama just being.

    i think whatever it is that is actually going on will be explained by logic as well as being mysterious and beautiful. otherwise why would logic exist at all only for the universe to turn out to be illogical.

    Yes, you would. You would even meet a fantastic SLI called Joseph the Carpenter.

    Not at all. No such commandment forbids that. Don't worry about your soul, I'm a doctor, would patch it up fast.

    Essentially, we = we.
    Non-essentially..., that's what you were asking, right?
