Hi George. I thought I invented "fragment of god"  now here you are with the same terms so we are on the same page. just finished writing 7 pages of my other lives..and some thoughts on that.
speaking of being around forever.  same page again.

I think we are remembering ourselves in this time. as we become open to question. I think what it is, is that only a piece of ourselves is inserted into physical reality, then it goes home after the life is done and becomes more with the "unlimited" perspective. I also think higher self can input itself into the probe as it is welcomed to do so, grounding our spirit into the Earth plane, in a fuller sense.

this through surrender of the limited ego thought system in favor merging with God. so you could think of a probe as a fragment of God, and in surrendering one's ego will to God, one become one with God, to see you were never separated, but that you had a false belief you were alone and separated.

George, u r never alone, you and me are like wallpaper here. they want to get rid of us, they have to scrape us off first.
