I believe that we cohose to live our lives on earth to experience a sort of independence from oneness . A chance to be exposed to natural law and personal responsibility, and feel the effects of it as an individual. However, I believe that oneness is something we work our way towards through many levels of life experiences. Crossing to the next plane doesn't automatically bring us a sense of merging into oneness . Closer to it, yes. Each experience through the higer vibrations will bring us closer to it. We retain our personality into the next level and from that new vantage point can see our connection to each of our past experiences. They all play a part in who we are today. Since I believe that is true, I don't feel the need to investigate who I've been I'm at peace with the knowledge that I've worked my way to who I am now.
