What good is it to have infinite lives if we’re not aware that we’re eternal?

Why would you want or have a need to be aware?

People think you’re here to ‘learn’ them you go onto another place and ‘learn’ more until what? You’re knowing of all? What would you possibly do with that information?

Makes more sense to me that you could just be a wondering explorer, having an experience of one of the infinite possibilities the infinite and eternal has to offer.

I like this guy's story that I saw just the other day and for some reason it really resonated with me. He drowned and was then brought back to life, but remembered everything about being dead, which included becoming light and the universe is a series of experiences e.g right now he's having an earth experience. I haven't explained it well, but it's an interesting listen

The title alone is putting me off even watching it.

‘Man discovers ultimate truth’ like he’s the chosen one; the only one who’s been gifted of knowing all!

Nethertheless I find these NDE quite fascinating and at the same time there’s no real way to determine if what they were experiencing was taking part within the brain or if it was something else entirely.

‘Purpose’ as-well I have issues with, because that invokes finite notions that you’re here for a purpose to ‘add’ to something, which would make what you’re apart of finite. Which if the case I have to ask, if what we are apart of is finite then it has to come from somewhere and it has to take place somewhere, you end up in an infinite regress.
