I think humans ascend and descend in cycles of karma. And those who break out from karma by progressively enhancing their abilities to touch base with their true spiritual identity gather enough escape velocity to go to a realm of eternal life and no more fear death. You can use your free will and be a being of everlasting playfulness and love.

I agree with most of that. Spiritual awareness and connecting to the soul is deeply needed. Both to do and to teach. I continue to find ways to lead my family with this idea. Religion has not helped.
