3. The meaning of life varies, it is different for each individual.
I understand that each person has a somewhat specific 'life mission,' but there has to be a reason for intelligent life, as a whole to be here. What is there reason for that?
And, what is the point of us 'as souls/spirits' to take physical form. There has to be more than our 'life missions'

EtheralForce,
- Can you think of any fact about your knowledge that you could relate to us that we could test in some manner, as a kind of authentication signature of information across your otherwise existential claims. (no derision intended.)
- Of human philosophies of existence, which ones interest your contacts the most?
How do they describe existence?
- Which of the modern mythologies of ectoterrestrial contact do subscribe to with respect to your experiences? Which can you reject forthright?
- How would you distinguish yourself from the thread made by sleeper? That is, how would you identify how your experiences differ from sleeper's? If you have not read that thread, I would be interested to see your feedback regarding it.
"4. Yes and No, No in that we do not have another life with any memory of our former one. Once our life terminates, however, we will begin a new one. We throughout eternity live ach and every seperate life there is to live in each and every universe."
The ET's reffer to "soul" as "Life Force", The word "spirit" or "soul" is misleading, because some believe the soul exists before the body and continues after the body dies. Life Force is the best term, because life creates it. When the lifeform dies, the Life Force does continue for a while, but there is no consciousness behined it. It is just like a semi-existant robot going through motions the creature, when alive, went through. This is responsible for ghost sightings, etc.

The intellegent life that does arrise and is smart enough question it's existence realizes ultimatly that... and this may seem odd to you... the purpose of life is to evolve! Wether literally evolving, or simply adding knowlege and technology. Think about it, Humans evolved out of single cell organisms over billions of years. Now as humans we are evolving by learning. The true pinnacle of existance is to attain a state in which EVERYTHING is known.

Since you've asked them the important questions:
> 1) How long ago was our universe created
Hah. That's a trick question, since the Universe expands both forward and backward through time, so the answer "13 billion years" is just as valid as the answer "yesterday."
> 2) When did Homo-Sapiens first appear on earth
Around 40,000 years ago, but they have monkey ancestors that go back much further.
> 3) What the meaning of life
We are all experimental variations of DNA, shaped so that DNA can replicate and protect itself from unknown future changes.
> 4) Is there an after life?
There is no conscious afterlife, however, there is a continuation and conversion of all the matter and energy of which you consist. You won't be aware of it, however.
> 5) Why are you on here talking about it, instead of CNN or somewhere mainstream? Why not have your friends make first contact?
He's making it all up.
> 6) How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie-Pop?
You and me = 268 licks. Gene Simmons = 8 licks.
> Can you answer these please?
No.

What carries on to another life? Absolutely nothing, that is why no memory exists of a "previous life".
but Consiousness (which is basically the same as the personal universe) will always exist

OK, I think I understand the "common universe" and the "personal universe" deal. It does make some sense if you think about it. I do have a few questions but I will only ask one so as to not take up too much time.
--Is there intelligent life elsewhere in our solar system?
Thanks for your time.

Consiousness carries on but consiousness has nothing to do with our personal lives, thus nothing from our personal lives carries on.
