re: Perspectives.
I've read theories like yours before, and try to conceptualize WHAT is out there, beyond ourselves. I believe consciousness exists after our physical bodies have perished. Having our souls reaching for higher planes of existence is another theory that has been floating around for centuries. Whether it is true or not makes little difference to me.
That we THINK we can attain something like this in the afterlife already raises our vibration. Just as a good Christian thinks he's going to heaven, I think I'm headed for Polaris after this lifetime and won't look back. I'm trying my best to get it right this time.....;~)
The natives down here are too war-like for my tastes.
