So in order to learn, in order to be a better player of the game, in order to level up, your elf is going to die a whole lot and you're going to come back and you're going to do it better next time and you're going to be smarter next time. So it's the same way it works with us. Our job here is to become love by making better choices.

And when our avatar dies, then we are still that piece of consciousness, aware and consciousness space. And we begin to plan on what our next choice experience packet is going to be, or I say experience packet, others say reincarnation. So you come back, try it again, learn some more. Now, every time you go into a life, hopefully, if you are doing it right, then you will lower your entropy.

You'll increase the quality of your consciousness. And that's what you start with next time. So you don't always start from zero. You accumulate that quality of consciousness. When you come back the next time, you start with that quality, but you don't have any memory.

You don't come back with an intellectual side intact because if that was the case, all you'd do is game the system and say, oh, I know the right answer to that. And you'd become a better actor, but you wouldn't become a better person. So, that's how the system works. You do not die. You as consciousness are immortal.

And the lifetime is your chance to make better choices and to level up, if you will. become a happier, more productive, more successful human being. So that's how that works.

What I call the larger consciousness system is the source. We're pieces of that. You and I are individuated units of consciousness or chips off the old block, the old block being the consciousness system. So that system is what many people call God. It's intelligent. It's Its evolution is improved by our evolution. We're a part of it.

So if we evolve by making good choices, it gets some evolution too, because we're a part of it. It's not supernatural. It's natural. It's a natural system. It itself evolved. It itself is still evolving. It is not perfect. It is not done. It has to learn just like we have to learn.

Matter of fact, you can explain why the Old Testament was this angry, jealous, fearful God, and the New Testament's all about love. Well, how do those two go together? Looks like the first one was a God with a big ego, and the second one was one without an ego. It was all about love. Well, that's because the larger consciousness system had to learn.

Just like we're here trying to learn from each other, it learned from us. As it made these individuated units of consciousness, its first idea was to tell them what to do and how to do it. And, of course, they had free will and disagreed. And through its interaction with us, it learned that the optimal way to deal with other beings is through caring. What can I do to help? How can I serve?

That optimizes outcomes. If you try to bully and be the dictator, that makes things non-optimal. It just doesn't work. Things go worse rather than better. So it had to grow up as well. So it's not perfect. It's not complete. It's still growing. It's not supernatural. So those things that people think of God, those attributes, it's not that.
