I had some meditative experience that made me see (and feel, oh my) that indeed, we are more than the material existence.

However these Eastern reincarnation beliefs don't quite cut it. It's just some kind of worldly interpretation as well. Things are more complex still.

There is a source energy we all come from. Though we are still part of it, it's like a prism, mandala, kaleidoscope. Then there are different planes of existence. Hard to describe.

We have to understand eternity, though we don't. But we are loved.
