Similarly, the reality in which your Essence (soul; higher-self; spirit; whatever you call it) resides, and to which you return each time you die, is also creating a cast of characters, or incarnations through whom it can explore its psyche and solve various problems and challenges. You are one of those characters.
This reality to which you return on your death is the one in which ‘you’ remember all of characters you are. If this is so, then you realise, there’s no such thing as ‘re’ incarnation and you don’t come ‘back’. You’re always there. So it’s probably a good idea to act as if you have one shot at life and that’s it!
