Death is compared to transitioning between dreams and waking life.

Death is a transition involving the withdrawal of consciousness from the physical form and thought form.

Reincarnation, Free Will, and the Role of Consciousness

De-manifestation from the physical dimension is experienced as light.

Reincarnation involves a mix of determinism and free will, similar to choices in waking life.

The law of mirroring influences reincarnation choices.

Awakening and conscious awareness are crucial for making free will choices regarding incarnations.

Death requires a conscious choice to withdraw from the physical form.

Death is the ultimate change, not an ending.
