I disagree.
I believe there are at least 2 options.
Become one with the energy of everything, become pure energy, dissolving into an ocean of what once were people.
Or remain sentient. Remaining sentient & aware results in either becoming something of 'that place' which lives an existence 'there' or returning 'here' for another round.
Just my 2 cent, likely to change constantly as I grow.
-B.Medit on 29/12/10 by B.Morrison because: changed my mind...
Plato: The Republic
Then, I said, the business of us who are the founders of the State will be to compel the best minds to attain that knowledge which we have already shown to be the greatest of all-they must continue to ascend until they arrive at the good; but when they have ascended and seen enough we must not allow them to do as they do now.
What do you mean?
I mean that they remain in the upper world: but this must not be allowed; they must be made to descend again among the prisoners in the den, and partake of their labours and honours, whether they are worth having or not.

Sounds like you tend to agree with Plato...
Just at that moment of total loss, swimming in the blackness of doubt, when you feel lost in nothingness, you feel him, as I do.

sounds like I really need to start taking peoples advice and actually read some Plato...
people keep telling me I'd like his stuff...
I'd just like to add to what I wrote earlier with regards to something I missed in the OP
Just at that moment of total loss, swimming in the blackness of doubt, when you feel lost in nothingness, you feel him, as I do.
That part I agree with, though what exactly it is that I felt I do not understand, to me it is ineffeble and certainly not distinct enough to place a gender on it. But I imagine the OP said 'him' as he/she believes in a male 'god'.
Also with regards to what I said about 'returning for another go', I feel that maybe, there are all the sentient beings that are needed or that there is room for in 'that place' which is possibly why those who wished to remain sentient & aware, could not stay among them. In other words, if they stayed they were the paint, not the painter. I think if they wanted to be a 'painter' they would have to organise it with existing 'painters' ahead of time, before intiating their own human lives, then do some pre agreed to work during that lifetime, to have them 'grow' into the 'painter' that was required. That said, being energy or a 'painter' may both be less desirable than another human lifetime, no matter what set of life circumstances you were 'served'. Maybe the lives we are leading now truely are the most valuable things that exist...
sorry if I rambled...more thinking out loud...
Peace!

I have absolutely no idea why anyone would choose to come back again other than to assist/improve someone else's life or to learn something- personally if I retain my conciousness as of now I most definitely would only be back to help another if i thought I could help. No intention whatsoever to come back otherwise!

Therefore, let us leave no child behind! And that's the love, right there, which sends out the needed waves of compassion capable of settling the world, and somewhere down the line, perhaps we might want to have a sjourn back here simply to enjoy the paradise we created in many lives past, and enjoy the fruits of everyone's labors!

It's inevitable, if only the TPTB would get out of the way and stop trying to dumb the people down and keep them down intentionally.
All sorrow and suffering leads to conscious suffering and therefore to unneccessary suffering's undoing, at some point.
What's needed is some sort of OmegaPoint global critical mass awakening of some kind and I'm starting to see signs that happening, because it's happening, to me and so many others now.
We are the future, our love is the future. I am a gateway to a future realm of limitless possibility, through freedom, creativity, love, and fun and enjoyment.
There's no "they" anymore either, since there's nothing at all now hidden which will not be made known and brought to light.
The satanic people, however they are, realize what's coming at them full force and they're not going to be able to hold the wall from an inevitable breech.
I cannot be the only one to see this clearly, based on reason alone.

Obviously, you know quite a bit.
