Consciousness is all that is. It is primary. Nothing happens outside of it. Everything inside and outside of physical reality must emerge from the stuff of consciousness, yet stay contained within it. And that, of course, begins our new definition of God.
Life discontinues at death.
It can and does change form, but it can't annihilate itself. But if consciousness is seen as a discrete part of All That Is, the belief that active, vibrant life does not continue after death is illogical. All That Is wants more than anything is to experience . That's how it expands. So it recycles its multidimensional creations, moving them out of one context and into another.
