[QUOTE="Harkiran Kaur, post: 207728, member: 18224"] I have never said we cease to exist. That have been some others on here. I said the 'character' ceases to exist. But I am NOT the character. Heaven and Hell are still constructs. They still have form. Ultimate reality is formless (pure consciousness bliss) of being ONE... But ONE is still conscious, existing. To think of Hell and Heaven and us as separate beings is wrong. And it's not what Gurbani teaches either. Physical life is illusion (Maya) which is like a dream where we all seem as separate dream characters but we really are not. But we all have become so enamoured by the dream, we have forgotten we were really the dreamer. I tried to explain in other thread. When you dream at night, you essentially ARE God in your dream. You have created everything in that dreamworld. Even though you might only be aware in one character in the dream, still every other character, the trees, the rocks, the sky, the sun etc are ALL still WITHIN your own mind. You created them all. Now when you wake up the morning and your dream is over, do those characters all go to Heaven or Hell? No! The characters ceased to exist. But since the CONSCIOUSNESS behind everything in your dream was really YOU, and YOU just woke up - YOU did NOT cease to exist. You only shifted to a different awareness. Of course this is just a metaphor. It's not 'literally' a dream but is best way I can explain it. And science is proving that the physical material world is false illusion too... everything is just energy, at varying states of vibration. So what is this energy at the base of everything? Since consciousness can not be created, it just 'exists' then the base energy of ALL is pure consciousness. And there is only ONE. You can read up on quantum physics to get an idea. I think part of why you find it confusing is that, you have trouble seeing yourself as something beyond your physical body. Instead, try seeing your physical body as just a vehicle, or just a costume. But the conscious entity within it, is only temporarily using this body as a way to interact with this world.
