@CinnamonGirlE everyone has an individual destiny to my faith and view. Some will come round again and others will go on. We are finite souls on an infinite journey. I don’t think any one of us could know the full truth in totality because it’s bigger than us. In the span of infinity all probabilities are.
@NiveusLepus
Why do you think we are finite souls? (Not trying to argue in any way, just interested in perspectives)
I don't think any one of us can know either. I believe we are all on our own individual journeys and the best we can do is to love and help and at least not hurt. We progress like that.
A zen master taught me there is a finite number of beings. We move in and out of lifetimes until we no longer do.
@LnzyHou @NiveusLepus
Hmm. And what determines when we no longer do?
@LnzyHou @NiveusLepus
From what I have seen, I suspect we all are. No joke.
@NiveusLepus I so love and agree with all you say. Yes, finite in that sense. (Reincarnation however, another discussion) "We see through a mirror darkly" is actually a fav. Perhaps we progress dependent on how we ascend in this and /or past lives.
@CinnamonGirlE It's a fascinating thing to speculate on. ^_^
@NiveusLepus
Endlessly so.
@CinnamonGirlE Onward, toward the far horizon.
The greatest blessing I think we have is the promise of an infinite opportunity to discover.
@CinnamonGirlE I love having the conversations on Coso. Thank you for putting this out here!
@NiveusLepus
Good conversation/thread. May we have more to come.

@CinnamonGirlE Finite is where we are now. I think another word would be mortal. Where we each are now we are not able to fully comprehend the infinite. I think its possible that some will eventually grow to understand infinity, but who am I to say.
To quote the Apostle Paul of all people, we see through a mirror darkly. (For the moment)
The one thing I am certain of is that the journey never ends. I do not think life stops in any way at death, it just changes.
