In the blog Milton talks about two warring factions of entities. The 'Miltionian' entities belonging to one faction and the other faction which is hardly ever even mentioned or talked about in his bog or posts, other than when Milton calls them the Enemy.
Well, there are two spiritual factions that have been talked about in other venues, and are described as being: 'Service-To-Self' and 'Service-To-Other'.
1. The 'Service-To-Self Faction' those who primarily help themselves.
2. The 'Service-To-Other Faction' those who primarily help others.
They both have different philosophies regarding spiritual evolution.
Now, Sleeper "claims" that the Miltonian Faction belongs to the Service-To-Other faction. That's what he told me earlier in this thread. But I have come to the realization that Sleeper might not be being truthful about this. Because all evidence seems to indicate the exact opposite!

Hey Sleeper,
You spoke a little about mental quirks and flaws like schizophrenia. Do you think that when we leave our skin suits behind, that we leave those disorders as well, or are there anomalies that go deeper than our basic chemistry.
I am concerned about that I will have turmoil forever, and hope that if I am recycled into another suit, that it won't be as disfunctional as this one.
Or any way to transcend it?
It seems that if the ETs are so advanced, they may have overcome our disorders.
Maybe they haven't and their home planet has folks like us, with doubts, worries, depression, and worse disorders. Maybe the ones that come here are the ones that have their stuff together. Any ideas?

Many are here on assignment, some are here on a kind of vacation, yet they may not know it other than their lives run smoothly.
Some are here for things they have done in previous existences on this planet or other planets. No one is here by mistake; everyone is here for a reason---and knowing that reason is not important, and most will not know

So if the 'soul', 'consciousness', 'id', whatever....is recycled back into a completely new existence, with utterly no recollection of the previous incarnation....Isn't that simply a different person, with all of life's experience to learn all over again?
Actually, 'all over again' isn't correct either...if there is no awareness of living it 'all over again', it can't be anything but completely new learning. Again, describing what is essentially a different person.
So if a soul makes several incarnations, never quite reaching that 'utopic' planet you describe, it is clearly not learning.
Furthermore, the soul in your interpretation appears to be little more than 'random access memory'; working perfectly as long as some power is constantly applied, but wiped totally clean as soon as its corporeal shell ceases functioning.
Clearly the "ET" you claim to communicate with are purely "service to self".
There must be some selfish reason why humanity couldn't simply be told how to achieve a state of utopia.
At least Siddhartha Gautama, having achieved what he experienced as "nirvana", taught others how to seek that goal.
Huh, an earthly being exhibiting more altruism than "ET".

I think you're being misled.

Hello Prote,
There is no such question because there are infinity questions and some even have answers, but the question should precede the answer, otherwise we get eggs laying chickens---
