People have these expectations that are, but people go to where they’re comfortable. That’s the bottom line. If you’re comfortable with your religion, and you’re comfortable with a certain kind of environment, that’s the reality you will gravitate to, and limit yourself within.

I talk about this extensively in my book, Adventures in the Afterlife, where these consensus, it’s not a matter of good or bad. It’s a matter of, do you want to limit yourself to a single reality, when there are maybe billions of potential realities available that are maybe better, maybe more advanced, maybe more enlightened, maybe just more opportunities to grow and to learn. That’s what’s important here.
Don’t limit yourself by the first reality that you experience. What makes us comfortable is actually what limits us. What limits us really is our beliefs about things, about reality, our attachments, and our fears as well.

Just the very thought that we are a bipedal humanoid, people take it for granted, but that’s a limitation we’re putting on ourselves. Consciousness doesn’t have that true. I’ve said this many times that consciousness is not human.
It’s not dog or cat. Consciousness can take the form it needs to learn and grow. It uses various external forms to achieve the goals it wishes to achieve, which is learning, growing, evolving through experience.

That’s why we’re here. We’re learning through experience. Since we’re immortal, and this is one thing that’s not talked about, everybody thinks this is like many people think this is a one-trip journey.
You can’t learn it all in one trip. It’s silliness almost to think that that’s the case when there is so much going on, and we are so much more expansive. In other words, everybody’s created a box for themselves, but you really have to work on yourself to work your way out of that and to expand your self-awareness and start breaking through these limitations that we create the limitations ourselves by what we choose to believe.
That’s an important point. Maybe all beliefs are flawed. Maybe everything that we’ve been taught since birth could be flawed because we’re in such an egocentric, form-based reality.
