Outward appearances have nothing to do with who you are.
LOL! A lifetime of experiences at the age of 50 is what led me to where I am!
I'm not the one with 15 years of OBEs that led me nowhere except to the final conclusion that nothing exists or matters and all vanishes to dust!

You didn't have to say it. Your lack of detail and explanation says it all. You've got nothing.

LOL! You're an admitted atheist. What do you care who I blame it on? You don't believe in anything anyway.

Enough of the meaningless word salad you offer! If you believe anything, anything at all, just spill it already!
Your true self isn't this avatar, it is the pimply faced alien teen behind the videogame controller.
at some point I became aware that somewhere in that darkness there was a small dot where I had to return and finish "the game".
This is just getting annoying and I'm not sure anyone cares what you believe any longer.

Where does this game lead? What's it's purpose?

1. Just a game like any other, played obsessively by some until they get bored and stop playing
2. School.
The later is an idea that is floated around a lot. Goes hand in hand with spirituality. The only difference is that nobody cares how many times you have to repeat a grade. At least not that I can tell.

3. Prison.
Spirits screwed up causing pain in the spirit world. Got judged, fell to Earth into a host body, go through a life path that has many junctions with 1 path leading out of this prison back to God.
Demons feed off the misery down here which is why they promote sin to make sure that they miss the path back to Heaven and get reincarnated here again.
Mind-wipes are important because imagine the suicide rate if everyone knew that they stood a high chance of being reincarnated into the prison again.

So mind-wipes make no sense in either case. Reincarnation right off the bat doesn't fit with the bible and atonement for something you can't remember sounds counterproductive.

Then its basically down here to learn a major lesson. Once learned, death sends us to Heaven for the upgrade.
Maybe Goodness is proportional to angel capabilities during the upgrade process.
An angel contact said that reincarnation is not true so I would have to agree with you. Maybe the deja-vu moments are memories passed down to us from our ancestors via DNA encoding. Similar to that child who could fly an aeroplane because his grandfather flew a jet.
Archons in meat suits. Hmmmm. Possible from a OBE where I saw a wraith attached to my left shoulder blade. Nice spirit - NOT.
Well hopefully all the truth will soon be visible to us.
7 billion demons getting a rush of suffering and watching others suffer.
Seems like the Eurythmics - 'Sweet Dreams' is close to reality.

Would that lesson be the same for everyone? I'm thinking that it couldn't be something like accept jesus as your savior. Just an example, but that would put a lot of people at a disadvantage from birth since not everyone is born into a christian culture.
Could the lesson be something totally contrary to "goodness" like be a serial killer?
Maybe Goodness is proportional to angel capabilities during the upgrade process.
You lost me there.
Remembering a past life and traveling to a remote village and being able to name some of the people there
Like the 1998 re-enactment of the Battle of Gettysburg, with 15,000 to 20,000 participants larping what must have been hell for the poor soldiers that suffered through the real battle, and about 50,000 watching for fun. As above, so below.

Well, if we are all demons then a demon (djinn) working for Allah would be born in a Islamic nation.
Thats like 'What if'. Oooo, today I think I will be a milkman. Ooo, tomorrow I will try out a serial killer after injecting bubonic plague into all milk bottles. Karma always comes back and bites hard.
Angels have 8 levels. So the better a demon is in its current host body, the further up the angel ladder it goes after the host body dies.
But I thought you were against the past life / reincarnation idea.
Bit like a online game where players slug it out in an arena and have a laugh after logging out.
Maybe this all is a Matrix within an existing Matrix.

Like courses at a community college. Try out crochet and if you are no good at it nobody is going to damn you for eternity. Move on to something else you might be better at or just enjoy more.
