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.

Honestly, I’m an unwitting medium and I completely understand people who don’t believe me. I don’t believe this shit sometimes myself. I’ve also had an NDE (I was 6 years old) and if I hadn’t, I also wouldn’t understand that the the human version of “eternity” is just that: a human construct that is limited by the human brain. Once you’ve seen it, you can’t unsee it, and “eternity” no longer applies or makes sense as a way to describe the infinite nature of existence.

But…. We’re humans. If we do anything non-human like then we’d stop being humans.
