The non-physical dimension:

Why do I think there is a 'non-physical dimension...

Well, some religions speaks of a place where nothing seems to return - and - that 'place/dimension' seems to occurs after we passed through the 'semi-physical dimension' - that is, after the soul, spirit and anything else related to shapes, forms etc has been 'removed'.

So what's left of us then? Well, theoretical theres still our mind, our ego, knowledge, intellect, wisdom etc - as these 'elements' needs no shape or form.

Since I already questioned our perception regarding the semi-physical universe (whether or not we have the right understanding on whats actually going on - purgatory vs logistic) - I might as well ask the same question towards the perception of the non-physical dimension. Meaning, even though it seems like nothing returns - that doesn't necessarily have to be the situation.

If the purpose of the Framework is to let this 'something' learn all aspects of a physical existence - then there is reason to believe that there must be an infinite number of paths it could choose from. And, if the choice of path happens in the non-physical dimension - while any reincarnation happens within the 'semi-physical dimension' - then these two acts (choosing path and/or reincarnation) don't really have anything to do with each other.

On the contrary - such a 'two-step' solution would prevents anyone from getting a glimpse into the non-physical dimension (since the semi-physical universe will act as a sluice that prevents further insight) - AND - provided that anyone (coincidentally) should get a glimpse into the 'semi-physical dimension' it also maintains the illusion that ones views regarding after-life is be true (regardless of what outlook on life one may have). 

Going all the way back to a non-physical world - and then - by choosing a completely different path, this 'something' will both arrive and leave the physical world through completely different 'places/surroundings' within the 'semi-physical dimension' (each adapted specifically to whatever 'path' it is on).

Why? Remember that the point is physical knowledge and experience - it needs events, conflicts etc. in the physical world in order to understand all aspects of a physical life. And, one (of many) ways to ensure that the physical world consists of events, is precisely to generate various perceptions of what comes after this life.

Let's illustrate the process like this:

So the prosess within the Framework may be like this;

Something arrives from 'The Existence of everything' and into the 'non-physical dimension'. In the 'non-physical dimension' this 'something' will chose which path to follow (among an infinite number of paths).

At this stage, it will also establish self-awareness, ego, mind etc.

Then it moves into a 'semi-physical dimension' - where it connects with a spirit, before it moves into a 'physical world'.

The choice of path, forms both the basis for the physical life that this 'something' will live - AND - what process/place/surroundings it will return to within the 'semi-physical dimension'.

A physical life is then lived (long or short, happy or unhappy etc). But when this 'something' returns to the 'semi-physical dimension' - it does that together with all the physical experience and knowledge it has acquired (stored in what has now become its soul).

Upon arriving the 'semi-physical dimension' - it is welcomed by so-called 'angels, 'helpers', 'spiritual beings' etc etc etc - all depending on which path this 'something' is following and where it is going next (that's just logistic). 

If 'something' has not establish all the physical knowledge and experience required - it is separated from the spirit (which main task is simply to give life to what otherwise would have been dead in the physical world) and its soul.

Then it is sent back to a physical universe together with a new spirit. However, it retains parts of its mind, ego, consciousness - which unfortunately means that some people, on rare occasions, may be able to evoke memories of past lives.

However, the old 'soul' (which only partially contains relevant physical experience and knowledge) is stored away (remember those who told about 'worlds where the beings seems to be 'hanging from ropes'....).

A new physical life is then lived (within the same path) - but sooner or later 'something' returns back to the 'semi-physical dimension' (and, again, it's followed by a spirit and a new soul full of physical knowledge, information, experience).

All depending on whether 'something' has acquired all the relevant physical experience needed, or not - the 'something' will either have to go a couple more rounds in a physical world - OR - it could finally return to the 'non-physical dimension' along with all it's useable/usefull physical knowledge/experience. While all the used soul(s) and all the useless physical knowledge and information - is transformed into a soup.

Back in the 'non-physical dimension' this 'something' will be stripped of its ego, self-awareness, mind etc - and then be sent out on a completely new path - without any connection to or possibility of remembering, anything at all from previous paths/lives.

Consequently, given that one is in the 'semi-physical dimension', getting a short glimpse of the process - it will appear as if nothing returns from the 'non-physical dimension' (or nirvana, heaven, paradise etc)

And that's the way it goes - until 'something' finally returns to the 'non-physical dimension' for the very last time. Then it has eventually experienced all the varieties of a physical life that is possible - and consequently - 'something' is ready for the next step.

It will however, again - first be stripped of everything we call ego, consciousness, mind, personality etc - elements that only has a function within the Framework.

Again, seen from 'The Existence of Everything's point of view';

EVERYTHING we think we are (that is; our consciousness, our ego, our mind, soul, spirit etc)

are elements that are completely useless outside the framework.

In other words;

All of the above will, at one point;
VANISH...!

(along with the physical world(s), the semi-physical world and the non-physical world)

The above may sound 'scary', but to be honest. Imagine a 'place' (somewhere within the afterlife) be filled with anything comming from us 'humans'. I mean, even people within same religion have different 'expectations' regarding the afterlife. Not to mention different personalities, egos, opinions, minds...

If you were the creator of this more than motley group of individuals called humans - do you really think they would sit quietly in a rocking chair and twiddle thumbs? 

Sorry, I see no way that's going to work....

***

After everything useless has been removed - the only thing that is left, is this 'something' being ready for its next level, as there might be a few more things that it has to learned. Things that - just like physical experience and knowledge - can't be created, it has to be learned the 'hard way'.

However, this learning can only begin AFTER 'something' has completed everything related to a physical life - AND - stripped of all elements that belong within the Framework.
