continued...-> BBELLA: One thing we can both agree on, if we did awaken into another life, it won't be a continuation of this life since we will no longer be in the body we lived this life in and won't be here in this earthly plane of existence.

>dhw: Definitely agreed. Our difference lies in what it is that moves into the other life if there is one! "Awaken" suggests from a dream, but what I would envisage is the SAME soul (dhw) moving onto a different plane of existence, not a soul that remembers dhw plus all its other identities as if each one of them had been a dream.-I see where you are coming from and I see that, in some sense, it is exactly what I said it wasn't, "a continuation". And I agree and think you are right that the experience (of dying) would be more like what you envisage, "the same soul moving onto a different plane of existence" and less like awakening from a dream. We are now (I hope) in disagreement about "what it is that moves into the other life" as by my example of the dying experience earlier has shown; it would be my soul consciousness of this life that would be aware of moving onto the next plane of existence (altho I believe it would be my subconscious directing me at this point). So maybe now, our only difference dwells within your next sentence - "not a soul that remembers dhw plus all its other identities as if each one of them had been a dream." -Now comes the part where we probably will part in what you envisage and what I would like to think happens. Maybe it is only because you do not like the idea of a soul having past lives and I do? So taking up where I left off in my dying example ~ at some point, when I finally reach my destination after leaving my body, and after a time where I am welcomed by a passed loved one (like in most NDE's) and brought up to speed, I would like to think I would slowly begin to re-connect/re-member my life within the IBT and any past lives I may have had. Whether that happens and whether I will experience a time of re-membering past lives or not, only my subconscious knows for sure. 
 
> Apologies again for what may seem to you to be my blinkered vision! -No apologies needed, now or in the next life!
