Hello Jurgen:
First of all, I like your book. Thank you for letting us know about it.
Regarding whether some souls perish, Bruce Moen and two other sources I know about say that some do. On the other hand some sources say that no souls perish. Bruce Moen wrote that some do so because they reach a point where they don’t feel worthy of receiving unconditional love and can’t open up to it and this is necessary in order for them to continue.
When it comes to the sources that say that all souls find their way back to the light eventually, none of the sources I read explain why they believe this is so. Going by what you wrote I get the impression it isn’t a matter of what you were told or shown, but rather what makes sense to you when you consider how the process you described works.
I am unable to say with certainty what the answer to this question is. There have been retrievals (spirit rescues) I’ve helped with and spirits who had reached a dark state of mind were cleansed so they could proceed towards the light. I can’t say to what extent this happens. I asked my spirit guidance if some souls perish but I wasn’t provided with an answer. I guess my guidance believes it would be better if I tried to figure out the answer for myself. Quite often they leave it up to me.
Regarding the question you asked at the end of your post, this is a matter I’ve considered a lot, and even though everything started from pure consciousness (whatever that means), everything doesn’t need to revert to the point where eventually only pure consciousness exits. One we reach a point where we can live according to love and a truly wise way of being, what would be the point of each of us ending our existence completely? It is true that what we create is imaginary, but as long the consciousness we use to experience what we create is real, then it is okay if we make use of the imagination that comes from our being. Our ability to learn and imagine is a part of who we are just as being aware is a part of who we are.
I don’t believe it is a matter of reaching a state of being where there is either one being all by itself or many beings who are separate from each other, rather, it is a matter of reaching a state of being where we are one and many at the same time. Each of us has to exist in a substantial way in order to share love and oneness with each other. The consciousness that each of us has, the wisdom we gain, and our love for ourselves and each other validates our existence. If our love for each other can't validate our existence, I don't know what can. Certainly a scientific explanation won't suffice.
Our imagination serves the purpose of providing us with a means to obtain wisdom and a loving way of being.
I wrote the above, partly because of what you wrote on page 208 of your book: “I felt I could take no more and feared that if I stayed on I would surrender my very consciousness and lose myself in the infinite ocean of pure joy.” I don’t believe it is a matter of losing our self completely, but rather a matter of losing a limited and false idea of our self. What we truly are can never go away.
